The arrests in Ireland have not as yet, wo believe,
exceeded thirty, and have not touched any of the Parliamentary party. Archbishop M'Cabe has returned to the charge against the unlawful purposes of the Irish agitators, and in a pastoral, read on Sunday (to which Mr. A. M. Sullivan, as the most ecclesiastical of the orators of the Irish party, has attempted a moral reply), has again assailed the appearance of Irish ladies among the Land Leaguers, and the alliance with revolutionists and infidels of foreign countries. Possibly the assassination of the Czar has given a new force to this religious protest of the Archbishop's, for it is certain that since that assassination was known, the Irish Irreconcilables have been cooing like doves, instead of talking the defiant language of the last few months. And really, unless the Irish Irreconcilables do wish to have a good many great tragedies on their consciences, they would do well to listen to Archbishop M'Cabe's eloquent remonstrances.
