NEWS NOTES.  Tire Whitsuntide Paliamentary holidays are too brief to allow of any political lull. Indeed, alt through the week, members of the Douse of Commons were somewhere or other, addressing public meetings on the chief questions of the day. to far as holiday enjoyment was concerned, they might just as well have been Bitting in their accustomed seats in Parliament, it becom.a, therefore, a question, considering the short tlgue set apart for legislative business, whetliStC the Whitsuntide recess might not be abolished altogether, with much advantage to the interests of the country.  THERE was a member of Parliament who proposed that the Whitsuntide receis should be extended long enough to include the Derby day. lie was apparently afraid that a motion would be put, and probably carried, that the House of Commons would not adjourn on that day, on account of its coming so soon tif ter Whitsuntide, but his motion fell to the ground. There is hardly any necessity for a formal adjournment on the chief day of the Epsom week, as members who talie a profound interest in the great race wOl - a visit to the Downs whether it is a play -wise.  attfiPrincessof Wales do not seem to . an south put about by the exclamations bree cheers for the Republic—down with oyal Family," which came from the lips m runken carman as they were getting ultra carriage at the conclusion of a day perfc 2.c. in the .* aiety Theatre. On the folios, day they attended the Court Theatre. It wai ardlyworth while heading the paragraph givin an account of the atiair, "Insulting the Prip of Wales in the Streets of I.ondon," as the man was too drunk to know what he was saying, and had to pay a two-pound fine next day at Bow-street for disorderly conduct. THE Brussels bicyclist, who unhorsed the Ring of the Belgians, without doing his Micesty any bodily harm, would have accomplished a feat if it bad been a regular tilt between the two at a tournament, lint the age of chivalry is gone, and it was only an accidental collision. The King, as already indicated escaped unhurt t but it was not reported whether the bicyclist was equally fortunate. The accideqt should have the effect of impressirp; upon bicyclists the necessity of keeping a sharp look-out when they are disporting themselves on their steel steeds in public, parks.  THE Arnerimn Fenian dynamite faction are now supposed to be directing their attention to the I 'minion of Canada. Recently there was a scare at Halifax about the expected arrival of torpedo-freight. d vessels though there appears to have been no real foundation for it, and now it is reported from Toronto that the authorities at St. Catherine's are taking precautions to prevent any damage from eing done to the Welland Canal. The (Sos ernor-General of the Dominion had also better look out, as one of Rossis's "boys "advised that he should be captured and kept as hostage to ensure the tender treatment of the conspirators still to be tried in Ireland. The remembrance of how they fared when they attempted a raid upon Canada should serve to deter the Fenians from any renewed eruptions in that quarter.  FITMARRIS, the cab driver, has been found guilty of the minor charge of being an accessory to the double murder in Plrenix-park, and sentenced, by the presiding judge in the Commission Court in Dublin, to penal servitude for life. In some respects this may be considered a heavier punishment than that undergone by Erady, who was executed at Kilmainhans Gaol on Whit Monday. Three other prisoners who ,pleaded guilty have also been awarded varying terms of penal servitude. No time is thus being lost in disposing of the prisoners who were all connected, more or less closely, with the most atrocious crime in modern times.  THE letter of the Pope to the Irish bishops, in which they are virtually enjoined not to countenance the cause of Mr. Parnell. has created a commotion among the laity in reland. though it is likely to be quietly acquiesced in or disreganled by the hierarchy. At the meeting of the Irish National League. held in Du'Ain, the statement of O'Connell, "I take my theology from Come, but not my politics," was received with rounds of loud applause. For the moment, at least, the usual amirable relations between Ireland and the Holy See have been considerably disturbed by the ill-timed letter of Leo
