LO DON, MONDAY, JUNE 22. 311:. NSILIEL . I NI) THE 110.11.1 N 1%1 77/W. B'S. Ala ell:: , noe LtAIIV and Bishop DER ev, the two prc:ates appointed on behalf of the Roman Catholic hierarehy of Ireland to conduct the nego tiations with the Government relative to tle! ehartcrieg and endowment of a Roman Catholic University, have published a supplement to the eorresp, .net tee lately laid 1 alore Parliament. Tie 7 have te'dressed a letter to Lord MAYO, in which They protest against his assumption that they have abruptly closed the negotiations into which they have been invited by the Government to enter. If this has been done at all, it has been done by the Government themselves. The history of the transaction which pro'•ably is fresh in the minds of some of our readers may be briefly recalled. It had its origin in Mr. DISRAELI'S necessities and tactics as an Oppo sition 1. ader. With that keen eye which be has also shown for political stratagem, he long since detected the growing uneasi nees of the relations which have for generations existed l etween the Liberals in England and the Roman eatholics of Ireland. The foreign policy pursued by Lord PALMERSTON and Lord RUSSELL, the coentenance given by those statesmen to the schemes of CAYOUR and the enterprises of Gmu mutt, she sympathy fuel hope with which they looked forward to the liberation and unity of Italy, and, by conßequni/CP, the abolition of the temporal power, v. ere 'n the highest de gree distaateful to :he dominant twit in the Ptamin Catholic CE:rth. The tins tries of Govern..., tit and of :sou:, ty formulated in the Encycli(:il and the Syllabus, were the contra diction of every principle of Liberal polity. Mr. THE InsEAEt.t taw the with• g • I'l-41.3- tion. Ile 11.1'111111M A, if faist:h!.., to d 1..11 th in il, Retenti Co'bob , : cont;:igcn'. airea.ly wave-- ing in its fidelity, from foe tiri:n body of the Liberal !tarty. lie becane. th.• mtrennous fel vornte of the temporal ise.ver of the Pore. In that vein of mingled pompous ness and servility, which Mr. BRIOHT has so hap pily characteriscsi, Le eulogised the stately fabric, the historic grandeur, and the august ceremonial of the Roman Catholic Church. Metaphorically speaking, he kissed the htuid, not to say the toe, of the HOLY FATHER. The unity of European civilisation, he intimated, was maintained by the sovereignty of the SUPREME PONTIFF' and the links by which it binds together the Catholic populations of the Continent. Here Mr. DISRAELI found that consecration of the principle of autho rity by the principle of religion, of which he has lately talked so much. The doctrine is Papal in its character and origin, though Mr. DISRAELI has found convenience in giving it a so-call.sl Protestant application in Ireland. Lord DERRY followed implicitly the monitions of Lis political director. He peeved contempt. on the unity of Italy. lie ridiculed the pretensions of her people to be considered one race and nation. Ile, too, vindicated the temporal sovereignty of the Poem, and followed up these in direct advaitees by the announcement. that it was strange that the Roman Catholics did nut perceive that they were the natural ullics of the Conserva tive party. Mr. DISIUELI coquetted with Roman Catholic members, and though the majority of them retained their political value, he succeeded in seducing Mr. Porn HENNESSY and Sir J. N. IeI'KENNA. In office, Mr. DISRAELI has played the same game. A scheme for chartering a Roman Catholic University, and for endowing nut only it but certain associated colleges, was announced by the Irish Minister as the beginning of a SClll'lllO for 'nuking till churches equal, by the elevation of the low, not by the depression of the exalted. Tho status of the unendowed clergy was to be improved. When Mr. GLAD rroNE met these plans for aggrantlising the priest hood of Rome in Ireland by a policy of justice to the Roman Catholic population of the country, not because they were Roman Catholics, but because they were the great majority of the Irish people, Mr. DlsrAr.ht felt that a spell more powerful than his own had been uttered. He could not tight the Irish people with only the priests for his allies. He, therefore, apparently resolved to disembarrass himself of these compromising coadjutors and to get rid of the proposals for the foundation and endowment of Roman Catholic seminaries, and a Roman Catholic University in Ireland. We will not say that Lord MALuEsnuftv and Lord MAyo, who represented the Government in its transactions with the Irish Bishops, entered into the negotiations with the intention of miscarrying them. But they certainly were very precipitate in declaring them to bebroken off by the representative prelates, and announcing that they had no intention of re-opening them. Without going into details, we may briefly state that after some formal and pro tracted preliminaries, Lord Mayo laid before Arch bishop LEAHY and Bishop DERRY the view of the Government as to the constitution and manage ment of the Roman Catholic University which they proposed to found and endow. The two prelates took exception to some parts of the Government plan, and proposed counter arrangements of their own. Lord MAYO, in re turn, expressed his sense of the inadmissibility of these suggestions ; and Ministers in both Houses of Parliament took the earliest opportunity they could get of declaring that the negotiations were broken off, and had loon broken off by the Roman Catholic Bishops. To this statement, in a letter which has just been pub lished, Dr. LEAHY and Dr. Danav give a formal denial. The Government scheme was not proposed as an ultimatum to be accepted as a whole or rejected as a whole: for the Bishops Were invited to put their views in writing for the consideration of the Cabinet. On the other hand the Roman Catholic Bishops did not propose their plan as an ultimatum. As they truly say, " Not a word of ours, spoken or written, indi " cute(' that we had taken ground from which " nothing could induct: us to recede." They sera willing, they say, to listen to reason, to make con cessions as well as demands, to give as well as to take. It was the Government which made the statement final which was not intended to be final. They now ask whether her MAJEsrv's Ministers consider the negotiations closed, in order that the answer may leave the real responsibility for their abortive termination resting upon the right shoulders. For our own parts, we rejoice that the scheme has fallen through; but we cannot deny that the Roman Catholic bishops have been shabbily treated. Mr. DISRAELI pro bably thinks that Mr. MUMMY will serve his purpose better at the general election than Cardinal Crur,Es could do. lie has, there fore, scuttled his ship which was freighted with his Irish schemes. lie has renounced his ultra montane policy, and raised the cry of "No Popery." The laid device will serve him, we believe, no Letter than the first. TUBLISHERS AN!) iminEfts. IN every trade and profesfdon there are certain customs which are a mystery t.ll the uninitiated. Why this should be done and that left undone is morn then they taut tell, mei for the most part they are content to remain in ignorance. Some times, however, it happens that these trade regula tions affect the pocket or the temper of the public ; and, in such cases, it is worth while to ask fur what purpose they exist. Mader; and purchasers of books, for instance, are often sorely worried and deluded by the mm -11(111%71'14 of publishers and authors. We donot allude to the dishonest tricks measionally perpetrated for the manifest purr,ose of deception, such as bring ing out a novel with a new title and a fresh mna dr phone, which has failed to attract attention when published with n different title page ; nor to the equally reprehensible act of producing as an original work what is in reality a loose paraphrase from the French. Such conduct it manifestly dishonest, and would not be tolerated by any respectable publisher or writer. We refer rather to arrangements for selling books and augmenting profits, which if not de signed to deceive the public are yet calcu lated to deceive them. It is the constant habit now-a-days to bring out a work as now snub with a taking title which the reader finds to his cost contains nothing but old matter sifted out of periodicals. No doubt magazine stories are n-ad hastily aced forgotten as speedily, but the most sup( :I:cial perusal of a tale leaves sonic im peysion on the mind, and when in :dl ignorance we meet with it in anew dress aud M piettily .• got up' volume, it is ;:nnoy:ng to recollect, after gianeing ever a few pages, that wo have read :t before. We al.stain fur the preient from men taming particular instances, though many are at Expnr.s7., MONDAY Lem,. In an 0341“.4 we submit that it is in -1121i1:11:t en the puha: hor to state, in Van advor i?.‘ na nt on the title-page, that they are a reprint, and in what untgasinui thy have appeared. But the truth is, this ix what few publishers care to do; and indeed the contrary habit is so common that authors who do not write for periodicals will be forced, in self-defence, on the publication of a volume to insert a dame to the effect that it is wholly new. Another trade device calculated to mislead some renders is the announcement so frequently made that a book is " now ready " or " this day pub lished," when in truth, if not purchased, it has been purchaneable for weeks or even months. And this reminds us of yet another habit among publishers which is so far objectionable that, in the years to come, it may deceive bilioNraphers. Books brought out in the months of November and December are generally ante-dated, so that it is impossible to say, after some limo ha; elapsed, to what year they owe their parentage. It may be said that these prelims are trifling, and perhaps with more truth that they affect a et.teparativoly small body of readers. We answer that if trifling, it is all the greater reason why they should be given up. No practice that tends to mislead, and that does avowedly misload a few, can be worthy of retention by gentlemen occupy ing the honourable position of London pub lishers. THE WINDSOR REVIEW. IT seems evident that the volunteers do not merit unmixed praise for their behaviour on Saturday. The review ended confusedly and tumultuously. The loyalty, the gallantry, and the martial ardour of the armed thousands were beyond dispute ; but the essential quality of dis cipline was lost sight of towards the close. Onolot of grown men lost their solf-oontrol because they were thirsty, and broke their ranks directly they saw a stream. Again, the mass of provisions carried by some of the corps had an unwieldy and ludicrous look; and it is certain that the firing was more irregular than might have been fairly hoped for. Thousands of men were to be seen lying down on their arias without firing a shot, a deprivation they made up for by shooting in mere wantonness about the Park after the review was over. The scene at the pontoon bridge was so disgraceful that we trust it will be made a matter for inquiry; and after it was crossed the sight of the trains, com bined with a fore-knowledge of the incom petency of the South-Western Railway, occasioned a complete stampede. Onto at the Hatchet station the volunteers seized upon the carriages pelt and came home without regard to rules of the service or to aught else save their own anxiety to get away. It is far wiser to speak out on these points than to let volunteer officers live on in a fool's paradise, confident of the perfection of their drilling and the admirable order of their men. There was much to admire at Windsor, and the volunteer movement, or as the Prince of WALits happily insisted, the Volunteer "institution" is a really admirable thing. To throw cold water upon it, or even to condemn with faint praise, would be unworthy. But the force has not improved in the virtues of obedience to authority or in pride in self-restraint since the first review in Hyde-park. Then, they gloried in stepping up to the knees in an artificial mire—left as some people said in front of the saluting-place to test them—rather than break line. On Saturday, the sound of a leveret or the sight of cold water upset their equilibrium and made them throw discipline to the winds. COURT DRESS. HER MAJEsn is administering a gentle rebuke to the gentleman who rather unworthily !moored ut " American manners "in the House. The male guests at the breakfast at Buckingham Palace this afternoon are to be all attired in the costume of the stage American. Columbia leads the fashion, and we mey henceforth expect an extensive export as well as import trade in the books and pattern cards so dear to the hearts of dandies and fine ladies. The following notice appears in the morning papers :—" We are authorised to state " that at her MAJESTY'S breakfast this day (Mon " day) gentlemen will appear in evening coats " with morning trousers, &c., and that orders and " decorations will be worn." The first question arising to those anxious to remodel their costume is, what is meant by " &c." ? Wo know exactly what the orders and decorations will look like by daylight. The citizens of a timo-honourod provincial capital had an admirable opportunity of estimating their effect a few days gizmo, when the Earl of ZETLAND and the members of the Grand Lodge of English Freemasons laid a foun dation stone with full masonic honours. The Past-master's and Royal Arch jewels, to say nothing of the purple and gold insignia worn on that occasion, would throw every male orna ment displayed to-day into the shade. But tho accompaniment to the articles which were formerly unmentionable to oars polite? Men are asking each other, what is it ? Can it bo a decorated apron, in order that the masonic analogy may be fully curried out ? Be this as it may, it is impossible to avoid the conviction that the nab,: mid gentles arrayed in a hybrid, between isioriii;:g. and evening dress, will look rather queer. When the Princess MARY of TECIC was married, the blue and brass-buttoned dross coats and the light kerseyrneres of the bridegroom and the mule gtwata were thought unfavourable to portly figures ; and our observation of the gentlemen engage d at such places as SWAN and Erman's and Waterloo House confirms this view. The Prince of WALES Was credited, some years vim°, with the desire of modifying the present funeral festive dress, and of establishing a new costume, in which black velvet and Imick erbockers should predominate. To-day's royal breakfast would have been an excellent oppor tunity for attempting the experiment. The new fortifications at Hurst Castle, at the entnince of the Solcut, are nearly completed. Mdllo. Schneider, tho original " Dacha:se," amaze to-night (Monday) in her proper pert •t the Bt. James's Theatre. The Doerre, of Genoa, publishes the following letter from General Garibaldi:—" Dear Rovaggi ; I hope to go to !tome with you, but I fear it will be late if we do not Phut up the priests' ',hops in the rest of Italy." A Correspondent of the Nord mentions that the Emperor Napoleon is very feud of taking solitary walks in the Forest f Fontainebiftn, and making experiments with the small 1 orteb's pump which has been used with so much advantage by the English in Abyssinia. It is raid that his Majesty has discovered by its means a sul phur spring in the forest. - - SIIMULAR PAM` IN•NATII141.

I:rr:~ii•ui~.~ itiES erms TAP norm: OP LOW* ANT, TIM TZIPI eltlrsint. The ' , found renuling of the Sue:sensury BM in the Howe of Lads is Geed for Thamtlay next; and a division, the Times expects will be taken late on Prehey night. It is remarkable that the Lord Caanealor Lord Grey, who compete for the distinction of moving the rejectien of the bill, ought each, if consistent, to en :s -port it. It was Lord Grey who, two years ago, weight to impress the enormity of the Ireda odablielunent upon the public mired and propounded in hie place in the How e of Lords a plan for dividing the eeelesiasties! en duwnionts of Ireland among the epireepalians, Henan catholics, and prulyteriuns in proportion to their num bers. But Lord Grey, unhappily, will not allow his object to be secured extald in his own way, and intends lo oppose the Suspensory 11111, though it is a nectenary pre liurmary to the adoption of Lis owu schwas, beau-,o it maybe wed as astepping-stone to another course of action. And as to Lord Cairns, a Suspensory Bill is a necessary fererunnt r of the redi-tribution which he has himself ad wanted. Yet it is oerlain that the measure will be re jected, and the question of the day will be preseuted at the hustings not merely as the redress of an enormous ieveriee nn Ireland, but also as a touted between the popular and the hereditary brunches of the legislature. 'The body .N,lrs anticipates that the large majority %Cld be diminished by the abolition of proxies. The last greet putty division when proxies wore called took place on the morning of July 9, 1864, when an attack was made win the policy of Lord Palmerston as carried out with respect to Denmark. On that occasion the peers present gave tie: government of the day a majority of four, and this we., only turned into a minority of nine by the use of conser vative proxies. It is not, of course, anticipated that the peers will smut to the second reading of this measure. It may, however, be useful to recall the tact that in 1860 the Lords rejected Mr. Gladstone's Paper Duty Repeal Bill by a majority of 89, and that in the following year it passed through the Upper House without a division. The Star draws attention to the fact that Mr. Justice Emmen, in presiding a few nights ago at the annual dinner of the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, strongly expressed it as his opinion that the two branches of the pufeesion, barristers and attorneys, might well be amal gamated. Thu Slur supports this view, and points to the experience of America to show that the fusion of the pro fessions works admirably for the advantage both of clients and of lawyers. It cheapens law, and at the same time it opens up to young practitioners chances of success for which in this country barristers, unless well befriended or singularly favoured by fortune, Lave to wait for years, and often altogether in vain. It is the practice in the United States for men qualified variously to take up difbenut brunches of business, to unite in partnership, to divide the labour, and to include in the one bill presented to the suitor all the charges that in this country would be piled up to satisfy half a dozen counsel of different sorts, pleaders, draftsmen, and conveyancers, besides the ordi nary solicitor's costs. For a young man this system has manifold advantages, and perhaps is equally convenient to the successful practitioner. In this country it has long been apparent that the existing costly and cumbrous sys tem, with all the barriers which it places in the path of new men, cannot be tolerated. TEE TOLI7NTEER REVIEW. Time, place, and weather, remarkn the Daily Nem, were fitting for Saturday's review. If any fault can be found on the latter head, it can be reproached only with being too fine. It was too much towards tho and of the day for the discipline of some of the corps whom the sight of a cool stream converted into a hurrying rabble. Two at least of the hardships of real warfare, fatigue and thirst, have been experienced by the volunteers. Perhaps the authorities may learn from the stampede the importance of a good oomminsariat in war tizne. The effect of apart of the day's proceedings was somewhat impaired by the ab sence of some of the corps, who were prevented from march ing past the Queen by the delay of the South Western Railway Company in bringing them into the field of action. The organisation of a system of prompt railway transport is an ensuitial part of any Sound plan of home defence. An army in the wrong place is an army no whore. A regiment which excuses its evasion of an en gagement by the excess of the training, makes a very uu business-like as well as a very unsoldierly apology. The /tut thinks the Queen must have been struck by the wonderful change which in eight years has been wrought in the marching, drill, and bearing of the volun teers. The Tekgraph censures the railway arrangements, and comments strongly upon the fact that certain regiments failed altogether to fulfil the commonest requirements of discipline. It will be no more than an act of justice should the General's report not only stigmatim such conduct in severe terms, but also name the corps to which the offenders belong. TIIE SUEZ CANAL. Alter dobcribiug the many difficulties which M. do Lesseps has encountered in finishing his canal, and assuring him England does not entertain the slightest jealousy of the scheme, the Times asks a sties of questions. Will any more capital be wanted, and how much? Will it be actually opened for regular traffic, and when? Will it pay its way as a "going concern," defray its own charges, and leave a profit besides? Is it safe against all future competition? When the Red Sea has been really united with the Mediterranean will nobody object to the roundabout route by way of Suez and Aden, and call fora direct road by the Euphrates valley, instead of the tedious circuit of the loop lino ? Those are the questions which will be discussed nowadays. If M. de Lceseps can meet theta with satisfactory replies, he may raise money in England as well as in France, and he will be hindered by no fear that he is digging the grave of British greatness in those Egyptian sands. RAILWAY LEGISLATION. The Doily News says that uncertainty is now the rule with respect to railway legislation. The panic of 1866 inflicted a heavy blow upon our railway policy ; but it hail a beneficial effect in cutting short the old companies, and the full benefit has yet to be realised. Profuse expenditure has received an effectual check in the impossibility of raising fresh funds, save for the soundest and most legitimate purposes ; and instead of parlia ment being besieged for permission to carry out costly and very often unprofitable enterprises, applications are made to abandon those already au thorised. If parliamentary indecision leaves companies in difficulty, or seems about to extricate them, it at least enu.es the pre, of the stock to fluctuate considerably on the market. Hence the small fry of speculators are only too glad of the oppertunity to gamble in a security that may rise or fat 2or 3 ler c•nt. in a slay. To stop alto gether over the we rat kind of sp culation lean been often tried and found impossible ; but it is a duty to avoid any ccun a; tending to its cncouragemcnt, In the discussion on the education grant which lately took place in the Home of Commons, Lord R. Montagu referred incidentally to the Birmingham Education Society, and intimated that no sane man could give credence to the reports of such institutions. They were supported by subscrip tions, and it was not unlikely that their paid officials would collect facts respecting educational destitu tion which made up most harrowing tales calculated to in duce silly women to contribute to the funds. The secre tary of the Birmingham Society at once wrote to his lordship, enclosing a copy of the annual report, and asking if he had read it. In reply Lord Robert admitted that his observations were not based upon any particular know ledge of this society, for he had never seen its report. He judged from what bad occurred in other cases, and thought it "not unlikely" that the course indicated might have been pursued.

THE EX-EMPRESS OF MEXIC'.O. The Atirmil des Ilrbat• says that, rumours having gene abroad that the ex-Empress Charlotte in tended to return to Mexico at the call of powerful party, it made inquiry on the subject of her health, and ascertained from the most reliable source that, " though her condition is improved, her reason is still profoundly affeAed." "It sometimes happens that she appears quite well. She then speaks, or reads, or plays as in the best period of her life, but with a melancholy of the days she spent iu Italy and in Mexico." The multiplied attentions of the King and Queen have contributed, with the beautiful scenery of the Palace of Laeken, to pro duce this happy result, which unfortunately is not permanent. It has been already stated that she gave 10,000 florins towards the monument to he erected in Trieste to the memory of Maximilian. A golden crown, manufactured at her order in Brussels, was laid on the coffin of tho dowased Emperor on the occasion of the religious celebra tion of the anniversary of his death on Thursday. She saw it before it left Brussels, and bathed it with her tears. Her grief was simple and natural, and showed no symptoms of exaltation. OUR PARIS LETTER. (ram ova ma OORZZBPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENI7O. Instead of a note in the Munitcur, which was very generally expected, the only intimation to the public touching the Ministerial Council at Fontainebleau yesterday is containcl iu the fol lowing note in the Patrir, which, I suppose, though it is difficult to know, must L., considered as semi-official : Several journals have during the la , t week taken upon themselves to give news of the deliberations of the ministenal council at Paris and Fontainebleau. Some cot:flue themselves to stating the questions discussed, while others profess to know the opiaiou of each particular minister, and thus pretend to make the public acquainted with the must secret ileci,ions of go- We arc enabled to affirm that all this new., is absolutely false. The latest deliberations of ministers did not relate to the subjects which have liven spoken of, and the journals which circulate these rumours de not suffi ciently consider bow much their indiscreet revelations engage the responsibility of ministers whose names they lightly cite, and to whom they uusexupulou , ly impute opinions. It has always boon, and probably always will be, the case, that when the press presumes to talk of what has taken place at a ministerial council, some newspaper is instructed to say that nobody could possibly have known anything about it without a breach of confidence of which of course no minister could be capable. And yot experience shows that public rumours such as those now current are very often well founded. The very expression of the Putrie that the "latest " dolibern tionsof the ministerialcouncil havenotturnodupon the question of a dissolution, imply the possi bility that the antepenultimate discussions may have touched on that subject. The Deisits says that the publication of a decree convoking the electors of the Allier for the 13th of July, to elect a deputy in the place of M. E. Fould, resigned, is an argu ment for those who think there will be no general elections this year, but that on the other hand the absence of a decree for an election in the Jura, where a scat has been much longer vacant, points in a contrary direction. The conclusion is that the government intends to keep its own secret. To perplex conjecturers, meanwhile, the prcfeels are acting as if the elections were imminent. small Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt, who is now at Constantinople, is coming to Paris before he returns to Cairo. A chalet has been taken for him between Enghien and Montmorency, and it is said that he wishes to try the Enghien sulphurcous waters for a chronic sore throat from which he suffers. The Duchess do Monty, who was marriel to her Spanish husband as Duke do Seeto, is now in Paris with him. But taking the choice of a very long list of hereditary titles, they intend to bo called in future the Duke and Duchess d'Albuqucaque. There is in Paris a very old and very exclusive club, founded in 1822, under the title of the Twenty Club. There are but 20 members, who dine together on the 20th of every month. The monthly dinner, which took place yesterday at Brebant, brought together six members of the Institute, namely, M. Lemaire, the architect, who built the facade of the Madeleine; MM. Lamour and Lefuel, architects ; M. Gounod ; the painter Gerane, and the sculptor Barrye ; the sculptors Mane and Caen ; the painters Charles Marshal (the author of Penelope and Phyrne in this year's exhibition) ; Giraud, Isabey, Lo poitevin, Ph. Rousseau, Bida, Luminais, Dalsafe, and Pis ; one pianist, M. Ravina ; a composer of songs, M. Plantade ; and ono novelist and dramatist, M. Alexander Dumas, jun. Tinily a very choice society, and the wonder is that the 20 members all responded to the roll-call. 7,f, t • i.• •!•• ; 1:r. ~ :(•, 7 ;tlr! and Att!11,1‘.111, thing-hi:4T in••l inado a p•ro i d L eritri tilt 141:111'41;:ry This reprit4titill:v,- o f r•-.•; i: , • , ; it: ft lionibie Ish4:•in.•_t• t e.r , 11014, in gr..at Mr-0,7w.
