In the House of Lords, yesterday, the Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, the Boundary Bill, and a num ber of other bills. It is satisfactory that so much progress should have been made, 'and that these vexatious matters should have been so far disposed of. Tho petition 'of railway farm wag then dig- town. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1868. cussed. The resolution of Lord TAUNTON was an admirable one, and it is well that the House should have adopted it, for it is most likely to answer the desired ends, and to serve the best interests of the public. It proposes that no railway bill shall be read a second time which increases the rates of charges for passengers and goods until a special report from the Board of Trade shall have been laid upon the table. This will meet all objections, and enable our legislators to steer clear of all conflicting interests without prejudicing one side or injuring the other. Circumstances may arise which render it needful for the companies to increase their fares, but then let all the facts re lating to them be duly inquired into before any permission be granted. Making all due allowance for the exigencies of the railway companies the in terests of the travelling community must not be overlooked, and a good deal may be said on both sides of the question. Lord P EDESDALE'S rule is a hard . one, and it is not likely that Parliament will agree to his proposition. At the same time it would be well that the railway com panies should take due time to consider all things relating to the fares proposed, so that they may, if possible, make no change, for any alteration of this sort is sure to confuse the public, if it does not end in irritating them. The House of Lords has acted in this matter with due regard to the claims of both sides, and no doubt, in the end, they will meet with the thanks of both sides, for they have discussed the question, so full of complication, with calmness and without prejudice. Not much was done in the House of Lords last evening. The Bankruptcy Act Amendment Bill was under consideration some time, but the House will have again to go into committee on it on Friday next. The Lord Chancellor was in favour of proceeding with it, provided the amendments were carried which he suggested. In this he was opposed by some others, among whom was Lord WESTBURY, who said that one-half of the bill was unnecessary, and the other half extremely incon venient, if not mischievous. In order that there might be time allowed for consider ing the matter, the Lord Chancellor pro posed that the bill be adjourned until the early part of next week. Lord CRANWORTH, who has charge of the Bill, did not seem averse to the amendments, and therefore it may still b 3 passed. The house adjourned at seven o'clock, after having read some Bills a second time and furthered others. The Revenue Officers Disabilities Removal Bill was passed through Committee. The District Tithes Act Amendment Bill was passed through Committee also, after some re marks from the Bishop of OXFORD. On the whole the House is making great progress with the remaining work of the session ; and, considering the difficulties that have been put in the way at the earlier part of the year, we consider that great credit is due to the members of both Houses for the zeal and assiduity they have shown in persever ing to bring matters to a satisfactory close. Notwithstanding the heat of the weather, which is not very favourable to industry, the House of Commons is steadily and industriously pushing for ward in its work, and every evening something is done towards accomplishing the labour of the ses sion. Yesterday morning was occupied by the Corrupt Practices Bill, being the third morning so engaged. Since the members prefer the cumbrous and uncertain method of dealing with bribery and corruption by special legislation to the short and simple cure of the ballot, we would do them the justice to aimit that they are sparing no trouble over their ungrateful task. It may be very much doubted whether, after all, the desired result will obtained—but at any rate much labour will be saved to the members of Parliamentary committees —delay and expense will be avoided, and the work better done by experienced judges. - M.P.'s, how ever immaculate themselves, are more likely to be unconsciously influenced by their associations with the accused, and by all the agencies of political life. The judge is accustomed to sifting evidence, to dis criniinating character, and to bringing unwelcome truth to light. Yesterday the committee resumed clause 17 of the bill, which provides that the judgment of a judge shall have the same effect as the report of an Election Committee as regards the issuing of Commissions of Inquiry and Mr. BOUVERIE opened the discussion by proposing that the clause should be omitted, with the view of adding to it and ex tending its effects. Mr. BotwErtsE maintained that under the new system it would be nobody's busi ness to move the necessary address to the Crown. He suggested that a Commission shall be appointed, as a matter of course, on the judge reporting the pre valence of corrupt practices. Other members pro posed the Attorney-General or the Solicitor- General should have the duty of moving for commissions, but after a good deal of discussion the matter was dropped. Another point was raised respecting the same clause. Mr. MILL proposed to empower the Judges to inquire into the purity of municipal as well as Parliamentary elections. The Chairman, however, thought the suggestion out of place, and Mr. MILL is going to repeat it on the report. Mr. LOWTHER, a little further on, proposed another change. At present, of course, the ex penses of the Judges are to be defrayed in the usual manner at the cost of the State. Mr. LOWTHER moved that such expenses should be paid by the locality except where the petition proves to have been frivolous or vexatious. This is going farther than the Chinese law, which punishes a man's relations for his crimes. Mr. LOWTHER would extend the punishment to his neighbours ! The Solicitor-Ge neral argued in opposition to such a motion, that though the bribery of a dozen voters might call for an inquiry it would not justify the imposition of expenses on a whole locality. There would be another objection to it in the fact that the existence of such a provision would tend to check inquiry, because such inquiries would be very unpo pular among the residents, and men would shrink from setting it on foot for fear of offending their neighbours. The House apparently were fully sensible of its draw backs, since on a division the amendment was lost by 134 to 67. Much larger, howeve; was th e majority against Mr. PowELL'S amendment to clause 15 which gave rise to an animated discussion. Clause 45, is one of the most sensible of the bill, because it meets the offence with a practical punish ment, which no one will be unwilling to inflict. Imprisonment and similar punishments are certain to fail of their mark, just because men will shrink from sentencing one of their fellows who has done no worse than thou sands before him to social degradation. The loss of a seat in Parliament is a punishment fairly apportioned to the offence ; and though of course disgraced by the conviction of bribery, &here will not be the stigma of felony cast upon the unscrupulous candidate. In America the laws ire stringently severe against both briber and bribed, and the consequence is that no one is ever accused. But we cannot hold with Mr. POWELL that the sentence is too severe. To obtain a seat in Parliament by undue influence, intimi ilation, or bribery, is a very serious political offence, and it is carried to such an extent among us Ur at it must be dealt with sharply. Mr. LOWE urge( 1 that the harshness of the punishment would defer -it its own object, but can he pretend to say that the present system is effectual? We should liko to see the intimidation at elections made an 40(1w.; offence with bribery, but this the members n iay be still more unwilling to grant. It speaks rell for the sincerity of the House on this matter t hat Mr. POWELL'S amendment was negatived 1 03 r the large majority of 171, though he contended that the punishment was horrible in its nature. The bill, it appears, is to be limited to three years, which will give a fair test of its work ing merits. No doubt this announcement, which Ify. DISRAELI made last night, will greatly facili tate its progress through the few remaining stages. 'We hope by the time three years have elapsed both parties will have been " educated" into adopting a ohorter and surer route to the desired end. Mr. BRIGHT has been figuring away at Lim >rick. First of all, the bon. member was presented with an Address, which was long, and a numerous company assembled. In replying to the address, Mr. BRIGHT said he did not intend to mix up in any political demonstration when he came to visit the banks of the Shannon, still he did not regret having had to appear before the meeting then present. Accord ing to his definition at Limerick, Mr. BRIGHT has assumed a new character, and is anxious to preach to his countrymen of political righteousness, on which he says the " happiness of States depends." He went there to speak as no partisan, but to dis cuss the subject of the Irish Church, which excited the people of Great Britain as well as of Ireland. The general tenour of the remarks made by the hon. member for Birmingham is much the same as that which characterised the former speeches he has delivered, and the key-note of his strain was the wrongs of Ireland. A more ill judged policy than this can hardly be imagined, but nothing can or will teach moderation to those who get a crotchet in their heads, awl hence we need not wonder, however much we regret, that he should follow so mischievous a course. It was One of the chief arguments against Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposition to the House of Commons that it woke up the fires of religious controversy, and excited and disturbed men's minds at a time when tranquil lity with respect to Irish questions was much to be desired. We must also protest against the tone which Mr. BRIGHT took in speaking of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. He said that they were so familiar with it in England that " it excited no surprise or discussion, at least on the Treasury Bench." Now this was manifestly unfair, for no matter which party was in, the greatest re gret was always expressed by these who felt com pelled by circumstances to propose the unwelcome act to Parliament, and it is a most unwarrantable thing for ono who knows the facts of the case as Mr. BRIGHT does to go to Ireland and talk of the police as an " armed force that ought not to exist in the country." During the Fenian disturb ances the Irish constabulary rendered most impor tant and efficient services, and the attention of both Houses of Parliament was directed to it, and due recognition made ; it is therefore preposterous for Mr. BRIGHT to talk after this fashion. As for his flourish about the Irish looking to the " West" for the sympathy they cannot get from England, we should think that Fenianism had pretty well tired out all well-meaning Irishmen from having recourse to that device to console them. It really seems as if Mr. BRIGHT was now in favour of a repeal of the Union, or at any rate he lays himself open to such an accusation, for he calls upon the meeting to listen to him, while he assured them that " an Act which the Parliament of the United Kingdom could pass it could also repeal." Even those who are most accustomed to Mr. limas T's rhodomontade will be somewhat amazed at this style of talking, but what can he do ? He must have an exciting topic to dis cuss—the sensational is the sine qua non of his speeches, and which animates all his discourses. Reform is done with, and the Repeal of the Union is a glorious substitute ; if it can never be done it will be all the better, because it cannot be so easily exhausted ; and wh) knows but that he is exulting in having a pet grievance that no meddling Conservative in a spirit of progress can dare to touch and make his own. In conclu sion, Mr. BRIGHT declared, that they were then " met in the city of the violated treaty, violated during centuries of time ;" and he urged upon his hearers the importance of making a new treaty, of which the purport should be justice on the part of Great Britain, and forgiveness on the part of Ire land. With the outrage at Sydney an 3 the suffer ings at Clerkenwell fresh in our recollection, it is not going too far to say that the lessons of justice and forgiveness may be learned and practised in a contrary direction to that which is here prescribed. Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech at Sheffield will be found well worthy of attention, and the hon. member spoke with his usual decision and energy. For so me reason, more or less exaggerated, if not un founded, Mr. ROEBUCK has been from time to time assailed by those who animadvert upon his policy and question the propriety of his votes of late years. He is more able to defend himself from open attacks, but covert insinuations are at all times difficult to meet, and it is a satisfaction to know that the hon. member has had an opportunity of speaking out his mind. The meeting was crowded, and the Mayor opened the proceedings by requesting from all parties a patient hearing. Mr. ROEBUCK began by saying that he had always maintained it to be the duty of a member of Parliament to take all the evidence he could, and then to act according to his own judgment, to serve the interests of the country in the best manner. Then, again, when the constituency had to decide upon the merits of the man before them, they must do so fearlessly and without hesitation, whichever direction their votes pointed in, as this serious day of reckoning is now fast approaching. Mr. ROEBUCK has re viewed the course of events during the last Parlia ment. When it was elected Lord PALCIERSTON was alive, and the Liberal party had all the prestige of his name to fall back upon. Before, however, the Parliament which was chosen under his auspices could meet the Prime Minister died. In passing a comment on his management of the House as its Leader, Mr. ROEBUCK dwelt upon the fact of his great courtesy ; he was conciliatory in his manner, and he led the House as very few men have led it. Mr. GLADSTONE succeeded him, and all looked with curiosity to see how he would manage it. He, in concert with Lord RUSSELL, unwisely resigned power in a hurry. Lord DERBY came in, and Mr. ROEBUCK had to ask himself, in cormum with the other independent Liberals, what he had better do in order to procure for the country a goo:1 Reform Bill. For 12 years by various Adminierations efforts had been made to perform the task, bat without success. Who can blame Mr. ROEBUCK for being tired of such a course, and for resolving, come what may, to get some measure carrried. Respect ing the proposal of the Conservatives, he said, " If the bill is not a good one, let it be made so by the House of Commons. He supported Mr. DISRAELI ; the bill was made a good one, and all before him, while he was now speaking, were thus rendered electors. Are you prepared to reward me for my services by turning me out" ? demanded he in his usual straightforward style and spirit. When Mr. GLADSTONE brought in the Resolu tions respecting the Irish Church, Mr. ROEBUCK declared that he would support them, as he was against the Irish Church, but the proposal was brought in by the right hon. member at a very un fortunate time. Those who take a prejudicial view of everything may learn some wholesome truths from the passages of this speech which refer to the opinions entertained of others. " But am Ito say there is no good in a man because I happen to think him wrong upon a particular question ?" Mr. ROEBUCK'S critics will, we believe, find it very rlifficult to answer the query. One great evil of Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends discussing the Irish question so long was that it took up the time of Parliament and prevented other matters being attended to. The real reason why so much opposit'on has been made against Mr. ROEBUCK is that he took a decided course respecting the outrages of the trades unions, and denounced them in the manner they deserved. The explanations which he tendered to the meeting were perfectly satisfactory in every way ; but of course some prejudiced individuals chose to remain unconvinced. It was complained of ➢ir. ROEBUCK that on the Commission he acted like an advocate ; but, as he said, he acted as the advocate of truth. As for the disparaging remarks which were passed upon the hon. member, he very pointedly asked if he was responsible for the horrors which were disclosed, and for the sad truths which came to light in:consequence of the zeal of the Commis sion. He was in some measure answerable for the commission having been appointed, but that is quite another thing, as all just men must admit. Finally, Mr. ROEBUCK said that he supported trades unions, but only when they did legal things. Every means should be taken to support them when they act legally, but the moment they do otherwise let the support of the law be taken against them. Twenty years have been spent by Mr. ROEBUCK in the service of his country, and he did not lay too much stress upon the work he bad performel when be asked the electors of Sheffield to return him again as their member. Notwithstanding all the temporary clamour raised by a section, we feel convinced that the call will be responded to, and that Sheffield will not show its devotion to prejudice and its faith in injustice by refusing to return one who deserves so well at its hands as he who has just rendered an account of his steward ship. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS.' (FROM OUR OWN' CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY, July It The absence of news from Spain has given rise to the usual superfluity of speculation. Rumours are numerous, but as news is nil there is little worth relating. The Gazette de France has, however, published some statements, which, though pure hypothesis, deserve consideration. It says that the chiefs of the conspiracy despaired of success without assistance from some European [Power, %nd had accordingly addressed themselves to Prussia. Prussia entered readily into a scheme for the zoronation of an Orleanist. The Government of Berlin was willing to give its "moral support" (whatever may be the value of that) to the project for deposing Queen Isabella in favour of the Duchess de Montpensier, and had likewise promised more substantial support in the shape of funds. The following conditions were, however, indispensable : The new Qucen must not enter into an alliance with France; must remain neutral in case of a war between the latter country and Prussia, and must not take any action that might injure the liberty of Italy, particularly in making common cause with Prussia against France. The project would be worth Count Bismaz ek's con. sideration for many reasons. It would strengthen Prussian in fluence, and would tend to weaken.the prestige of France. But the conditions are too cheap, and the risk, for an object so remote, far too great. Prussia could only render pecuniary assistance, and that is scarcely what is most wanted. A remarkable trial is now going on in the Assize Court of the Seine. The case will probably occupy some days, the number of witnesses being very large, although the ascertained facts are most mysterious. Mdlle. Chantreau had lived for nearly twenty years with an ami, named Forest, at a country-house at Varenne. M. Forest was engaged at Paris during the week, and only visited Varenne from Saturday night to Monday morning. During the inter val Mdlle. Chantreau lived alone with one female servant. On the night of the 9th or 10th of August last several persons perceived that the house was on fire, and heard loud cries proceeding from it. The maid-servant appeared at a window, and on being asked for the keys of the door, said it was in her mistress's room, and that the staircase was impassable. The house was broken into. The stair case was not impassable, and the chamber of Mdlle. Chantreau was found to be a veritable furnace. On the assurance of the servant that her mistress never slept in any other room, no efforts were made to discover her elsewhere. All present turned their attention to confining the action of the ire, in which they succeeded. Later on, the body of Mdlle. Chantreau was discovered in the chamber of M. Forest. The head was considerably burned, but the rest of the body only scorched. These circumstances, joined to the discovery of a diamond earring in the apartment untouched by the fire, gave rise to suspicion. But M. Forest on his return found all his valuables intact, and it was concluded that the fire was accidental. Some months afterwards it was found that the maid-servant, Fleutol, possessed a large amount of property, in the shape of jewels, linen, &-c., which had belonged to Mdlle. Chan treau. A closer examination was made. It was generally concluded that the burns on the body of Mdlle. Chantreau had been inflicted after death. That lady had on the even ing preceding the catastrophe taken a bath in a small room at the extremity of the house. Certain particulars attested that she had never come out of the bath alive. Her slippers and articles of toilette were found near, and marks of blood were discovered in the room. It had pre viously been observed that the finger of the girl Fleutol was wounded as if it had been bitten. In the bathroom was found a piece of linen, indicating by its shape that it had served to envelope a wounded finger. It was therefore concluded that the girl had surprised her mistress in the bath, and had murdered her by holding her head under the surface of the water. The house had then been set on fire, to destroy all traces of the crime. Several minor facts have served to strengthen the case against the girl, whilst her statements have been throughout of the most contradictory kind. Both the girl and her mother (who is implicated) are now on trial on this accusation. I have been informed that some disturbances which broke out a day or two ago at Trieste are of the most serious kind. An immense crowd has patrolled the streets, denouncing the Pope and the governor of the city, who is brother of the celebrated Bach, to whom the concordat is owing. The house of the Roman Consul has been attacked and disfigured, and an attack upon a Capuchin convent has been prevented only with great difficulty. THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. TB E CAMP, TUESDAY. The arrangements of the camp are now complete,' and though a straggler or two may drop in even to-morrow or the next day, the volunteers who mean work are all here' The last finishing touches have been given to the tents, which outside look taut and trim, and inside com fortable, not to say luxurious. Even names have not been forgotten, and abutting on " Love lane," one of the side streets of the camp, arc to be found " The Bungalow," " The Cedars," and " Myrtle Cot tage." The shops are well stocked, and seem driving an average trade, while the commissariat department evi dently works with a will. Throughout the whole day— the heat being as intense as ever, though occasionall a plea sant breeze stole o'er the heath—shooting has been pursued with avidity at the several targets on the outskirts of the camp. The competitions were of far greater interest than those of yesterday. One of the prizes shot for was that given by the Prince of Wales, •consisting of a cup of the value of £lOO, or £lOO in money, at the option of the winner.

The following is a letter from the Roman Catho lic prelates of Ireland : TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF MAYO, 3r.r., CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. My Lord,—Your letter of the 30th ult., laid before Parliament this week, demands some notice at our hands. After a long preamble it closes with the declaration that "it is not the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any further steps in the matter" of a charter for a Catholic University. Coupled with our denial of having spoken or written a word implying a wish on our part to break off the negociation on that subject, this declaration of yours brings home to your Go vernment and yourself the responsibility of having carried on the negociation for a time, and of having then abruptly put an end to it. We should be content to let the matter drop here without adding another word were it not that, while declaring it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any further steps in the matter, you hal fallen into the singular inconsistency of seeking at the same time to fasten upon us the responsibility of your not proceeding any further. Accustomed though we have become of late to an extraordinary boldness of assertion on the part of public men, we were not prepared for the statement, come from whom it might, that we had to answer for the abrupt termination of this business ; much less could we have expected it to come from your lord ship, knowing as you did all that had passed be tween us, and, moreover, disdaining, as it is be lieved you would disdain, to have recourse• to the petty devices upon which other men live. Yet, strange to say, with all this knowledge, notwith standing that openness of nature for which you get credit from opponent as well as friend, you first hazarded in your place in Parliament the in sinuation that we, not you, had broken off the negociation respecting the Catholic University question ; and you now repeat it with full delibera tion in the face of our declaration that it is not we, and even of your own admission that it is you, who have determined to take no further steps in the matter. That you should take no further steps in the matter, whether because you despair of its issuing in anything satisfactory, or whether, as sharp critics will have it, because it has failed to secure for your party a certain amount of Parlia mentary support—that from these or other mo tives, best known to yourself and Mr. llisraeli, you should have brought our negociation to a sudden stop, is not what we complain of—let the public judge of that—but what we do complain of is, that having done so you seek, and very per sistently, to shift the responsibility from yourself upon us. Like the retreating Parthian, you try to wound as you fly, and, therefore, you cannot ex pect at our hands all the forbearance we should wish to show towards a generous opponent. And upon what reasons do you rest the insinua tion that it is we who broke off the negotiation ? Upon two, which are of such a nature that if one be admitted as a legitimate plea, the other is in admissible, for each excludes the other, as we shall see. Your first reason is deduced from Dr. Leahy's having, in a letter dated May 16, simply acknow ledged yours of the 11th of May, coupled with our having allowed the time betwixt the 17th and the 29th of May, say eleven days, to elapse without giving any intimation of our desire to continue the correspondence. This is your first plea. Now, your lordship will give us leave to say we are utterly at a loss to comprehend by what process of reasoning you could have inferred from those cir cumstances that we had closed the correspondence. The letter of simple acknowledgment was identical in form with your own letter of the 26th of October, 1867, which, so far from being considered by you as stopping, on the contrary, opened the way to further correspondence. Here are the two letters side by side, one of which in your estimation was a bar to all further correspondence, the other the very reverse. Lord Mayo to the Most The Most Rev. Arch- Rev. 1)r. Leahy. bishop Leahy to the Chief Secretary's Office, Earl of Mayo. Dublin Castle, Ballymore House, near Oct. 26, 1867. Cashel, May 16, 1868. Most Rev. Sir, I My Lord, —I have the have the honour to ac- honour to acknowledge knowledge the receipt of the receipt of your letter your letter of the 23rd of the 11th instant, re instant, enclosing a copy specting the changes in of a letter which you your plan of a Catholic have addressed to the University suggested by Earl of Derby on the the Right Rev. Dr. subject of university Derry and myself.—l education. —I have, &c. have, &c„ (Signed), (Signed), MAvo. PATRICK LEAKY, Archbishop, &c. Moreover, that you should have taken the letter of the 16th of May as one of simple acknowledg ment, and no more —certainly as not closing our correspondence—is obvious from its bearing only the signature of the Most Rev. Dr. Leahy ; where as, in a previous letter of his of the 10th March he had given you clearly to understand he could do nothing without the concurrence of the Right Rev. Dr. Derry. Here are his words :—" I should at once have replied to your lordship's letter but that, in any dealing or explanation with the govern ment respecting this question, I am associated with a brother prelate, the Right Rev. Dr. Derry ; whence it was my duty to apprise him of the com munication 1 had the honour to receive from your lordship." How, after this, could you have imagined Dr. Leahy had taken upon himself to close the correspondence in his own name alone and upon his own single responsibility ? Then, as to the lapse of eleven days without any intimation that we wished to continue the correspondence, why you yourself allowed more than three times eleven days, from March 31 to May 11, to pass over without returning an answer to our letter of the 31st of March, and yet you did not consider that interval of time as sufficient to foreclose the discussion. A silence of eleven days on our part was to be taken as indicating that there was an end to all further discussion ; but a silence of more than three times eleven days on your part was not to be taken as any such indication. Admirable reasoning ! Having disposed of your first reason for having concluded and announced in Parliament on the 29th of May last that we had broken off the negocia tion, we pass over your long history of what took place between us as only enveloping the real ques tion in a cloud of words, and we come to the one other reason which you say helped to land you in your conclusion. What is it? The conflicting nature of the principles involved in your plan of a Catholic university, and the principles in your letter of the 31st March. Now, it will be observed, what ever be the value of this argument, it cannot be put in as a plea along with the first one. Either must be abandoned, if the other be held. The one says you conclude we had given up the correspondence from the letter of simple acknowledgment, coupled with the lapse of eleven days allowed to pass over without a renewal of it. The other says—" No ; it was quite another thing that made you conclude we had declared off—namely, the antagonism between your principles and ours, which, however, revealed itself fully at our personal interview, and did not require your waiting for eleven days —no, not for one day—to understand its full bearing on the question. If it was the con flicting nature of the principles involved that pro duced your conviction, then it was not the letter of simple acknowledgment with the eleven days' silence; but, if it was that letter and that silence that wrought upon your in:nd, then it was not the conflicting nature of our principles, seen at our personal interview, not requiring a day's waiting to be seen, that made you believe we had indeed de clared off. Whatever the value of your two rea sons taken separately, both together are clearly in admissible. They cannot stand together. But let us see whether this your second plea does in reality carry with it any more weight than your first—let us see whether, indeed, the conflict be tween your principles and ours was of such a nature that, on or about the 27th of May, and not before, it brought home to you the conviction, and drew from you the announce ment in your place in Parliament, that by reason of the incompatibility of the principles held on both sides, we had finally rejected the proposal of Government, and terminated the nego tiation. If the conflict between our principles and yours convinced you on or about the 27th of May that there was an end of the businsss, surely it was equally convincing on the 11th of May, when you wrote your letter of that date rejecting our suggest• tions ; and yet you tell us that notwithstanding the then manifest conflict of our principles, you then, on the 11th of May and after, did still look forward to and were waiting for some further cor respondence between us, and did not give up all hope of it till after the receipt of the letter of simple acknowledgment and the expiration of the fatal eleven days. Again, if on or about the 27th of May the conflict between our views and princi ples precluded all hope of our coming to a mutual understanding, and made you think we neither had nor would have anything more to say, we beg to ask you were not the principles put forward by us on both sides at our interview in London precisely the same ? Did not the same divergency between them then reveal itself ? Did you not then comprehend their full drift and bearing on the question before us ?—and yet you then asked us to commit our view to writing for further consideration. The conflicting nature of our views did not at that time in your estimation pre clude ulterior discussion nor precipitate the end of the negotiation. Why should it afterwards, on the 27th of May ? The only differen . ce that supervened being that principles put forward viva voce at our personal interview were subsequently committed to writing, though they still remained the same. So much, my lord, for the reasons by which you seek to shift over from yourself upon us the mis carriage of the Catholic university scheme. In truth, the position you have taken is altogether indefens ible ; and your line of defence, instead of covering, only serves to reveal its utter weakness. And we beg to assure you we mean more of respect than the contrary for your personal character when we add that the position you have taken up is not only weak, but unworthy of one such as you. Retire from it, my lord, and leave it to some one who has no character to lose. In the fullest confidence of the truth of the aver ment, we repeat, my lord, what we asserted in a former letter. It is not we who rejected your plan, but it is you who rejected every one of the sugges tions you had invited us to make, and which you thoroughly understood when you asked us to com mit them to writing. It is not we who abruptly put an end to our negotiation—it is you. It is not we who have to answer for its having ended in worse than nothing—it is you.. It is not we who have sought to throw over upon others any respon sibility that rested upon ourselves—it is you who have sought to shift upon us what justly attaches to yourself and your Government. Let the public judge between us.—We have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient servants, t PATRICK LEAIIY, Archbishop, &c. f JOHN DERRY, Bishop.
