NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THERE is another delay in the meeting of the Irish Provisional Parliament. It was to have met on Saturday, July 15th, but it has been put off for a fortnight on the ground, as officially announced by the Provisional Government, that a great number of the members are engaged in restoring order in the country. Though this postponement is not a good sign, we must continue to hope that order really will be restored and that before long, even if it may not be possible in a fortnight, the Provisional Parliament will meet. But as to what progress is being made in the restoration of order we must confess ourselves to be entirely in the dark. Dublin is cut off from Cork, and what little news comes from Dublin has passed through the trans- forming hands of a censor.
