Nothing of the sort. Mr. DISRAELI and Lord MAYO We not ordinary men, and they do not set about business in the usual way. They devise out of their own heads, and without taking counsel with the persons really in terested, and on whose 00-operation the whole thing depends, a scheme of a Roman Catholic University and Colleges, which might suit Utopia or Icaria, but which has no relation at all to Ireland. They expose this scheme to the Bishops, to take it if they like it, and to leave it if they don't like it. It is the Irish policy, and no changes in it can be allowed. This scheme of the I Government, which, like the laws of the Medea and Persians, or the oath of Jove, when he swears by the Sty; is irreversible, may be shortly described. Lord MAYO proposed to grant a Charter fur a Roman Catholic University in Ireland to a Senate to consist, when the institution is in full working order, of the following members : A Chancellor, to be elected by Convocation ; a Vice-Chancellor, to be appointed by the Chancellor ; four prelates, to be nominated by the Roman Catholic hierarchy ; the President of Maynooth ; six laymen, to be elected by Convocation ; the heads of the affi liated colleges ; and five members to be elected one by each of the live faculties. All the members of the Senate must, of necessity, be Roman Catholics. The Convocation, with which after the first nomina tion the election of the Chancellor rests, and which is to choose six la3men to represent it in the Senate, is to consist of the Chancellor, Senate, Professors, and Graduates of the Universities. On these details irreconcileable differences have arisen. The Roman Catholic hierarchy demands that the Chancellor of the University should always be a Bishop ; that after the first nomination by the Crown he should be elected by the Senate and not by Convocation ; and that the first Chancellor should be Cardinal Archbishop Cuttnx. To these demands Lord MAYO rejoins that the limitation of the Chancellorship to the episcopal order, and the election to that office by the Senate, would be in consistent with the fundamental principle that the head of the University should be freely chosen by the University at large ; that is, by the whole body of graduates ; and that in the nonduating the first Chancellor, her Mariacry's Government intended to name, not Cardinal CULLEN, but a layman of rank, influence, and position. The Bishops demand that the six lay members be elected by the Senate itself, and not by Convocation ; in other words, that the Senate shall till up its own vacancies. Lord MAYO holds that the free choice by the graduates of their lay representatives is the essential part of the scheme. Once more the Bishops contend that " as faith and morality may •' be injuriously affected either by the heterodox " teaching of professors, lecturers, or other " oflicers, or by their bad moral example, or by " the introduction of bad books into the '• university programme, the very least power that " could be claimed for the Bishops on the Senate, " with a view to the counteraction of such evils, " would be that of an absolute negative on such books, and on the first nomination of professors, " A:c., as well as on their continuing to hold their offices after having been judged by the " Bishops on the Senate t•r have grievously offended " against faith )r moral'." Lord Ma vo states t hat the proposition to confer upon the episcopal members of the Senate greater power than on their lay col leagues cannot be entertained by her MAJESTY'S (;,,vernment, inasmuch as it would establish a system of education different from that which was intended. In the last place the Bishops hold that the colleges to be affiliated to the University should be independent of the University in regard to their internal concerns. Lord Mayo pronounces it indispensable to the heads and professors of the affiliated colleges should be subject to the approval of the Senate. All these differences resolve themselves into one fundamental indifference. The Roman Catholic Bishops will be satisfied with nothing less than a University founded en ultramon lane principles, and governed by the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The Government desires to establish a University whic`x at the same time shall be and shall not be ultramontane ; • which shall at once give and withhold, and in which lay influences shall check clerical ascendency. i The hope is vain. The attempt to combine and reconcile hostile influences could have only one or other of two connequences. Either the lay element would submit to and become the tool of the episco- I pal party, or there would be constant strife and dissension. The scheme of the Government would !satisfy neither the Liberal party in the Roman Catholic church nor the parti.prelrr. It denies their just freedom to both. The Roman Catholic • hierarchy are at liberty to found a uni i • versity of their own, and to go‘ ern it on their n principles. lint the State c.nnot come to their aid, for the Church will make no compromise. The Government, as Lord MAYO'S experiment proves, can establish educational equality only in one way, that in by abolishing the sectarian re strictions which give to the Protestants of the Anglican communion a monopoly of the Fellowships and other offices of Trinity College, Dublin. The principles which apply to the Universities of Ireland hold good with still more strictness of its Churches. The conscience of the English people will no longer allow it to impose, any more than the patience of the Irish people a ill any longer bear, sectarian ascendency. Both join in the demand for justice. Lord MAYO bas done Mr. 01.U/4410NE good service in showing that equality can be secured only by levelling down wardn. The moi.t cautions attempt to level upwards is ileteated and shown to be impracticable in its timid begiimings. The valleys cannot be exalted, but the hills may be brought low.

" The Modern Cotonou'," in this week's Fun, again strikes us as one of the very best produc tions possible of its kind. It is full of point and meaning. Mr. GLADRTONE makes the egg stand, by cracking its end, to the delight of the stout Spanish don, Joni( BRIGHT, and of the elderly Spanish councillor Earl RIAMELL. The other Spanish dons and councillors are Mr. Die- BARU, Earl DERBY, and Lord MAYO. The exprel- Mon of intense chagrin and discomfiture on the PREMIKR'S face as he continues to fumble with the egg he cannot settle into place ; the bland superiority shown in Earl Ruseett's com placent smile at Lord DERBY, who is clenching his fist behind Mr. Gtsoeroxo's back; the annoyance and boredom of Earl MAYO, who is in the act of failing with his egg, are all perfect in their way. Those who wish to see the Mr. DINRAT.LI of to day cannot do better than study the admirable likeness of him in this cartoon ; and the public may be fairly congratulated on the abounding and perennial excellence of its political caricature. IT is generally understood that the debate on the Suspensory Bill will be concluded to-morrow even ing. If the Government be beaten then and on Monday as well, it is difficult to see how they can continue in offic Mr. BAXTER'S amend ment, however, may act as a bridge to carry them over one-half the difficulty. It is well known that her MAJ EMT only left for Scotland after receiving from the PERRIER an as surance that the way was perfectly clear for him, and that there was no reason why her MAJESTY should defer her journey. The Conservatives pro fess to treat lightly the threat of stopping the supplies, in the event of an immediate dissolu tion. Mr. DISRAELI, they say, has supply enough already. The House and the country are becoming irritated by the uncertainty, and if such a wanton proceeding as an election on the basis of the old constituencies were really resorted to, the result would probably be an increase of the majority against the Government of thirty or forty. THE New York papers spare no one. To keep everything around them in a blaze of publicity is their primary aim, and all distinctions are lost. The Nem York Times of the 9th, says :—"The " prayers before Congress of the Rev. Mr. Roy x " TON are far more sensible now than they used "tobe in former times. They are neither political " harangues, aor arguments for party schemes, " but appeals to Heaven such as are becoming to a " good Christian. Yesterday's prayer, of which the " telegraph gives some of the points, is descry " ing of special commendation." This " special " commendation" given to a particular prayer, the use of the telegraph for " some of the points," and the contrast patronisingly instituted between the rev. chaplain's present addresses to the ALMIt:IITY and those which he offered in "former " times," will make Englishmen wince. The cir cumstance avowedly tells nothing against the use of fixed liturgical services. FOREIGN NEWS. (THIS DAT.) CONTINENTAL POLICY OF THE ENGLISH CABINET. The Journal des Dibats of to-day contains a long article on the subject of the German Customs Parliament. It assumes the form, which is habi tual with the Dexter when it speaks officiously, of a summary of its foreign correspondence. After alluding to the danger to the peace of Europe which was likely to arise if the majority of the Customs Parliament forced their views of the political unity of Germany on the deputies from the south, it attributes to the action of the English cabinet the moderation displayed by the government of Berlin. It is to the British gov, =meat (it says) that the initia tive of these proceedings is due ; and its intervention hes certainly bee. effective, whether by reason of the intimacy existing between the two courts and cabinets, or the firmness of the language of Lord Loftus, the English Ambassador at Berlin. There is no doubt about the in timacy of the two courts and cabinets ; it is barred on a close family alliance, on the analogy of creeds and 0011113111- nity of interests. Prussia is to-day England's beat ally on the Continent, as England is Prussia's best ally. The English are of opinion that PIUILIA, in accomplishing what she did in DWl'', promoted at the same time the in• tere•ta of England, although it was not without regret that they viewed the misfortunes of Austria, which they wish to see reconstituted, but without injury to Prussia as she actually exists. These have been the representation., it seems, of Lord Loftus, who declared that hia government was desirous of maintaining the stain quo, and that it would do all inits powertoprevent its beingdiaturbed; that if the disturbance proceeded from Prussia, that is to say, from its attitude, its language, it. writing, or its acts, the Britishgovernmentwould not onlydisapp uehconduct, but would formally condemn it, reserving to itself the right of supporting the adversaries of Prussia in order to keep her within bounds ;—that if the disturbance origi nated with other powers than Prussia the latter might rely on the most energetic aid of England, and even on her effective support. We are assured that Lord Loftus m►de these declarations to M. de Bismarck some weeks before the opening of the session of the German Customs Parliament, and in anticipation of the ditticul i , a which might arise from the proceedings of the body if the Prussian government did not rule them. M. de Bismarck and Lord Loftus had no difficulty, it is said, in coming to an understanding, and their understanding has not a little contributed to the excellent direction which hes been given to the Customs par:Men-et from its first sitting. The Dibats then refers to the proceedings of the parliament, and adds that if the majority of that body desires peace, and iersista in its resolution to maii.tain the stotu quo, as there is reason to believe it will, it will strengthen the hands of good and peaceably-disposed government.. More cannot be asked of it. MS EXPRESS, THURSDAY .:EVENING, MAY $l, 1868. Ehe Court. The Prince of Wales, attended by Lord Alfred Hervey, General Sir William Knollys, the Hon. C. L.

A correspondent, writing from Honolulu, at ye : For fifteen days the district Kona has been the centre of motion for the great eruption. A gigantic stream of molten lava is Bowleg from the summit of Mauna Los across the lands of Kakuka and Poakini to the sea at Kaalusla landing. The slope and part of the summit of • mountain fifteen hundred feet high have been lifted up bodily by the earthquake and thrown over the tops of trees for • distance of over one thousand feet. At Wahoinee a creek has opened, extending from %beam To as high sa the eye can reach on the slope of Manna Loa the lava is from one to seven feet in width, and so eruption of moist a'ay was thrown from the side of the moun tain between Lyman'/ and Richardson's, • distance of two miles and three-quarters, with • width of one mile, in the short 'pax* of three minutes. A column of smoke seven and four-fifths miles in altitude was thrown out of Manna Loa, obscuring everything for miles around, save where the bright spiral pillars of the fire flashed upward/ from the month of the volcano. The sight was one of the grandest but moat appalling ever witnessed and almoet defies description. The entire topographical appearance of the country has he n so completely changed that even those who have lived in the desolated district all their lives cannot recognise it or point out localitit • with which they were formerly familiar. Luckily, this part of the island is but sparsely populated, and the land, are not in general cultivation. The loss of life, as far as can be ascertained, is as follows :-- In the village of Palinka, 33 ; at Mokaka, 13 ; at l'ultalua, 4 ; at Ifonah, 27 ; at Vanilo, 1. This makes a total of RO pereons killed as reported up to the present time. There are rumours about that the casualties consider ably exceed one hundred, but nothing definite on this matter has been received. All of the unfortunate persona who have lost their lives were native Hawaiians,not a white person being killed or in any way injured. Expeditions are being fitted out here to relieve the distressed.

The Mon;trur Arnth of to-day publishes an article denying that General Failly, on taking command of the troops at Chalons, made use of language expressing the near probability of war.

The North-Eastern Correspondence contains a letter from Copenhagen, which states that Prince Gortschakoff, in an interview with the Danish Envoy at St. Petersburg, expressed in strong language his dissatisfaction with the con duct of the Danish government on the North Schleswig question. He moreover re proached that government with desiring French intervention, and intimated that, notwithstand ing the assurances of peace given by France, the attitude of her government was one of antagonism to Prussia ; that Russia was re solved to do everything she could to pre vent now complications ; that she would especially oppose any interference of France in the Schleswig affair, and would give the most strenuous support to Prussia. Prince Gortschakoff concluded by telling the Danish envoy that Denmark had nothing to expect from France, and that it was her interest to come to a direct arrangement with Prussia. EARTHQUAKES IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. GREAT DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. Advices received tie San Francisco announce the outbreak of a serious volcanic eruption on the island of Hawaii, one of the Sandwich group. During the twelve daysprecedingthe 12th of April, which is the date of the advices sent from Hono lulu, there hail been, it is said, no leas than 2,000 shocks of earthquake, followed by fearful tidal waves, which destroyed whole villages and caused the death of a hundred persons. The volcano from which this eruption took place is the well-known Manna Los, which has an elevation of 13,758 feet. At Waischina the earth opened in many places, and a tidal save 60 feet high rose over the tops of the cocoa trees a quarter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings, houses, and everything movable before it. A terrible shock prostrated churches and houses, and ;in addition to the destruction of human life a thousand horses and cattle were sacrificed. The first stream of lava broke out from Manna Loa, some two miles above the residence of Captain Robert Brown, and flowed directly towards it. It came down the mountain side in a broad stream, several feet in depth, and travellei with such rapidity that the family in the house had barely time to escape, taking away with them nothing but their clothes. The path which they took was perfectly free from lava ; but ten minutes after they had loft it and reached a point of safety the entire road was covered with the fiery stream. The craters vomited tire, nick, and lava, and a river of red-hot lava, live or six miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of 10 miles per hour, destroying everything before it, and forming an island in the sea. A new crater two miles wide opened, and threw rocks and streams of fire a thousand feet into the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the sea. At one time the illumination was visible at night 50 miles distant. The lava has pushed out from the shore ono mile. At Weisel' ina, three miles from the shore, a conical island rose slid delay, omitting a column of steam and smoke, the Bono packet was passing, spattering mud °lithe vessel. The greatest shock occurred on April 2. a great shower of ashes and pumice. During the great shock the swinging motion of the earth a as dreadful, so violent that no person could stand. In the midst of this tremendous shock an eruption of red earth poured down the mountain, rushing scr o.e the plain three miles in three minutes, and then ceased. Then came the great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava. The villages on the shore were all destroyed by this wave. The earth opened under the sea, and reddened the water. The earth eruption swallowed 30 persons, and the sea ninny more. Dreadful suffering and terror prevailed in the district, and the whole region was affected. The entire section of country around Mauna Loa has been desolated. A stream of lava flowed under i the ground six miles from the sea, and broke out in fourplaces,eac.h throwing up brilliant jets of fire.
