Mgr. Darboy was arrested by the Commune
shortly after the outbreak Of civil strife in
Paris and thrust into prison. 1t was given
out that he was 90 dealt with merely that
he might be held as hostage for the safe
~ OF such leaders OF the Commune as
might fall into the hands Of the govern
ment of Versailles. But there are many
circumstances which lead to the belief that
his arrest was simply an expression of the
hatred felt by the leaders of the Commune
for the church of which he was the highest
official representative in Paris.
Public Hol2days.-A Bill, designed to ex-
tend the number of holidays observed by
bankers, which originated in the House of
Commons, went through Committee in the
House of Lords on Tuesday evening,
where it was considerably modified, and,
we must say, improved. AT present, Good
holidays which bankers can keep, as by
law they are bound to pay bills and honor
drafts on all other week days. BY the
measure now before Parliament it is pro-
vided that st. Stephens day, except when
Christmas falls on Saturday, Easter Mon
in August, shall, for the future, be bank
holidays in England, Wares, and ireland.
The Ischborne Case.-This sensational
case which is attracting much attention in
England and full account of which we

TIVE Irish College iu Paris.-Lord Clanri-
carde has postponed his motion on THE
subject, with the Consent of the deputation
OF 4rlsh bishops who have come to London
TO confer with his Lordship upon 1t, as the
Premier has signified his intention to in
case Is strong one, if justice Is to deter
NINE the Issue, and it cannot be Ic better
hands, and this we have reason to believe,
Is the feeling of the bishops. The consid
cradle diminution of the income of the
college of Maynooth, caused by the Church
Olsestablishment Act, as it cripples the
means of supplying priests for the Irish
Church, makes it more necessary than
when Lord Cianricarde first raised this
question in Parliament, that the money

Father Nugent.-The "FatIer of No
BODY Children" arrived in Liverpool on
the 18th of May. During his absence he
travelled about &c, 600 miles in his desire to
ascertain, by personal observation, how far
it is desirable that the poor children of our
large town should be drafted to America.
The result of his inquiries is that he looks
upon Texas as pre-eminently the poor
mans country. The reverend gentleman
brings home with him most favorable of
fers of land to intending emigrants. We
are not aware il Father Nugent intends
sending out another batch of juveniles,
but we have been informed that he pur-
poses collecting fund to be devoted in
assisting Irish servant girls to emigrate to
the United States.-Liuerpool Daily Post.
Belgiuns.-Every Christian house in Bel
GUM will be illuminated on the 10th of
June. The devices will no doubt be beauti-
full and varied, but, if we do not see the pool
of fire as on the Queens birthday, the light
of Faith will glimmer in the poorest cot
tages and smallest villages.-Cor. Tablet
