MEETING OF THE CATHOLIC POOL! SCHOOL COMMITTEE. te The annual meeting of this comm i ttee has just the overH o n . hCrheaer days,es Langdale iltgiekla following le in h chair. takenplace, It lasted being among the more important matters dis cussed : Lord EDWARD HOWARD, in moving the postpone ment of the consideration of the report, in order that the motion upon education, of which notice bad been given to the members of the committee, should be discussed, said that before he proceeded upon this most important subject (the general situation of the actual and prospective education of the Catholic poor in England, Scotland, and Wales) he must recall to the committee its position. It had been established by the bishops twenty years since; the most successful Catholic institu tion there had ever been, owing in great measure its success to the excellent gentleman in the chair (the Hon. Charles Langdale) for the purpose of communicating between the bishops and the Go vernment—thus enabling Catholic poor schools to receive, as others did, grants of public money ; besides this, it had to collect money, and to distri bute it to the poor schools in connection with it. It was composed of clerical and lay nominees of the bishops from each diocese. Now, what was its position ? In twenty years it had collected £98,314, of which more than £ll,OOO were lega cies; beAides this, nearly £lO,OOO for a training school ; but if the money of the first ten years and the last ten years was compared, it would be found that in fact each sum was the same. Hence the Catholic body had not given it support as it ought, because while its contributions to the com mittee remained the same, it had in twenty-one years more than doubled in the numbers of its clergy, churches, and chapels ; and, looking at the number of its charitable and other institution, there might be, he inferred, a very great increase in its position as to numbers who could be cared for under spiritual supervision, and the in terest which was taken in matters connected with it. This being the case, what were the numbers of the Catholic body with whom it had to deal ? He spoke before gentlemen who knew that in the manufacturing districts congregations were only waiting for priests and chapels to be put down, when they appeared in unexpected numbers. He was, therefore, inclined to take the higher estimate of Catholics instead of the lower ones in this country ; and, of course, congregations being com posed of Irishmen who follow out the hardest and worst-paid occupations, are attracted by the increase of manufactures; and, by their further increase, might at any time be larger than now. He would. Fit them at 2,000,000. But it would be found • that if gentlemen chose to make large deductions fr,nn 11;t3 estimate, very large numbers of unedu cated Catholics would yet remain. He the I gave figur,s according to which education was yet re quired for numbers varying from, in rouni num bers, 90,000 to 175,000, according to the views which might be taken in calculating, and the allowances for, deductions of various kinds m He a'so adverted to the large expenSe consequent. hereon, which, in 1866-7, was in Privy Council schools £1 Is. 30. a head. Such being the posi tion of the Catholic body, it became necessary to most earnestly consider its requirements in face of the gre it and recent development of educational zeal through the country and in Parliament. There were two biils in Parliament. One the bill of the present p Government ; a s t o thi s, h e t h oug h t, as far as he could see, there was no harm, but if availed of, greater facilities for establishing schools. Apprehensions he had seen mentioned lest the enactment of a conscience clause should ultimately lead to the ejectment of religious teaching from schools. But he had also to mention the other bill now before Parliament, and he thought, in its ultimate results, legislation in this direction threatened most strongly the religious e ion of the Catholic poor, and that, viewing the sudden way in which great changes now occurre I, this danger must be viewed as at our very doors. This is not to be imagined as the object of the origina tors of the bill, but is very much to be feared where minorities of a religious creed are mixed up with those of other °reeds, as experience of the most painful character but too well showed. He then dwelt at length upon the contents of the bill, showed how it originated from a gentleman who held a high official educational position in the late Government, who would thus represent it, very probably, in the next. lie showed that it was not only brought in by a gentlemxn of Liberal opinions, by one of Radical opinions; but the third name on the bill was that of a Conservative member of a very large county; hence members upon both sides of the House favoured these views of education which threatened Catholic education in a de nominational and practical point of view. He. went throu g h the machinery proposed by the bill, from which it appeared very unlikely that Catho lics would be represented in the management of the new schools whilli would arise under it. Catholics being of opinion that religion forms an essential part of education, and this view, certainly, as to a Catholic education, not being understodd or participated in by the overwhelming majority of this country, hence the danger, unless the schools could be established by Catholics, in time to enable them to be supported, in the manner pointed out by the proposed bill as schools " in union " whenever it might become law, which might be in a very sh)rt time. Although the Government Bill, as proposed, did not seem hurtful, yet it was airea ly stated by leading states men that it did not go far enough, and one noble lord was reported to have objected to its ineffi ciency on the ground that it did not reach the Irish in the large towns. Of course, it is to these Catholics that their co-religionists wish to extend a Catholic education, the difficulty being the ex pense and means of providing schools, and it is chiefly in their regard apprehension exists. The Poor School Committee had done what they could, but the means they had to spend mere quite inade- quate. He therefore moved a resolution request ing the bishop to take measures to endeavour to induce persons to increase these funds, in order that the Catholic body might have the means to prepare itself for the great and sudden change, the prospect of which was so near. It was possible, as a Poor School Commit'ee, that they could allow the time to pass, without d dog their utmost to ward off consequences so fatal, and which are so subversive of the satisfactory policy of the last twenty years. Persons curious to read debates on these bills may see them in the London morning .papers, of March 18th and 25th. The noble lord then moved the following resolution : "The Poor School Committee recognizes the cxitital *paid= in which the Ugislatnre may zhortly place the poor Cathodes, whose education the committee has been appointed to promote. "It most respectfully requests the bishops to cause it to be furnished with the most reliable statistics of the number of children who are un provided with the means of C:tholic education in the dioceses fur which their lor.lships have ap pointed its several members, in order that it may have the means of m eking every posdble effort to fu:fil its duties. " The I'oor School Comr&ttee proposes to ap - point a sub-committee to receive such information ; and it wool I be greatly ob'iged by being told at • what period of timi its s.:c: - etary may be likely to obtain it." The speech of Lord E. Howard was followed by a discussion, in which took part Mr. Hutchins (Diocese of Newport), Sir George Bowyer, Bart., M.P. (Diocese of Southwark), Mr. Weld Blundell (Diocese of Liverpool), the Rev. G. Rigg (Eastern Vicariate of Scotland), Mr. Howard, of Corby (Diocese of Hexham), the Very Rev. Canon Walker (Diocese of Beverley), who sec 'nded the resolution,. Mr. Macdonnell (Western Vicariate of Scotland), and Mr. Gainsford (Diocese of Bever ley). The resora`ion having been carried unanimously, Lord Edward Howard, Mr. Weld Blundell, Lord Herries (Diocese of Nottingham), and the Very r -Rev. Provost Cookson (Diocese of Liverpool), were appointed as a deputation to carry it to the bishops, from whom a communication was subsequently received, to the effect that they had ordered the statistical returns applied for to be made up as soon as possible, and to be furnished to the com mittee. The following petition to both Houses of Par liament having been sent up to the bishops, and received back from them, was resolved upon := " The Catholic Poor School Committee, repre senting the Catholic bishops and laity of Great Britain, has existed during twenty years. it has been recognized by the Government as a council of primary education. The committee has during this time actively co-operated in the extension of the system administered under the minutes of the Committee of Council. They consider the deno minational system, by which the public grants are distributed according to certain general rules of equal application, to be based on those principles of justice which alone can satisfy the rights of con science in the present state of this country. They are also convinced that a careful regard to the same rights of conscience can alone insure a con tinuance of zeal and energy on the part of mana gers. The denominational system now in opera tion has year by year largely multiplied the schools of this country. As Catholics, they must ever most jealously vindicate the principle that religious teaching is the basis of all education. By this system of State assistance each religious com munity has hitherto been able to base the education t_f its children on its religious belief. They earnestly hope that the existing systeni may be . - perpetuated so as to extend itself yet more com pletely to the poorest classes. They consider that such an extension, carried out with proper safe guards and with generous assistance from the State, will best meet the needs and the desires of the country ; and that a system, of national education, based on such principles, may become both efficient and universal. The committee resolved to throw into the sum it would give to building and support grants the whole legacy of £l,OOO received in the past year from the late Mr. Ritchie. it was thus enabled to vote the sum of £1,490 to twenty-six budding grants, and the sum of £1,426 to 157 applicants for the support of poor schools. The remainder f its income was devoted generally to grants in a d of St. Mary's Training School, Ilaminersmit , and of the Liverpool Training School of Notre 1) ime, to make up what was wanting to these training schools from the public grant, to grants for reward medals in silver and bronze, to the ex p mses of ecclesiastical inspection, and to some other minor grants. In reference to the general collection, the secre tary brought three points before the committee. The first was the number of missions which sent no collection. Comparing the return of 1867, up to the present date, with that of 1866, he found 727 collections received this year, against 766 re ceived last year, and 157 defaulters this year, against 122 last year, while the sum total of col lections received was £1,910 11s. 6d. in 1867, against £2,150 16s. 41 in 1866. One diocese pre sented 25 in default against 55 received. The cases of the same mission making default in suc- cesive years were numerous. 7i hus, a mis-ion which had had two building grants from the corn mit:ee, which had 430 children in its schools, and had received £179 as annual grant from the Privy Council in 1866, during a series of years, had sent no collection, and took no notice of the secretary's request for information. The second point was, the small amount sent from important missions. As an instance, might be take n a m i ss i on with more than 5,000 Catholics, w hi c h h a d more th.tn _ __ _ 500 children in average attendance, which received more than £lBO as annual grant in 1866, which, moreover, had accepted two building grants of £l3O from the committee, and which sent as a collection in 1867, and the same sum in 1866. These sums were such as in many cases to indi cate, in spite of the most charitable construction, that they were not bona fide collections. The third point was the delay in sending up collec as an instance of tio e i to t i s ti which, the s cretary m .ied that, whereas the collection was made i n June, he had to write in December to nine missions in one city, which had nut sent in their contribution. Its cathedral had even now sent no collection, and sent in June last a collection made in the previous June. Froal these th:ee causes great loss and inconvenienc e were exper i enced by "the committee. They could be arrested by the authority inkervening at the time, but, if left un censured, they had a tendency to reproduce and multiply themselves. The Secretary was requested to repeat these statementeito the bishops,which having been done, an answer was received from their lordships, pro mising that they would endeavour to promote the regularity of the collections in behalf of the Poor School Committee. This account of the committee's proceedings is n eces arily incomplete and fragmentary. it is only intended to give some notion of its annual discus sions, of the subjects which occupy its atten tion in successive years. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.--The Greatest Wonder of Modern Times. —They correct biliousness, prevent flatulency, cleanse the liver, purify the system, renovate the debilitated, strengthen the stomach, increase the appetite, invigorate the nerves, and reinstate the weak. The demand for these pills throughout the globe astonishes everybody, convincing them that there is no medicine equal to Holloway's pills for removing the complaints which are incidental to the human race. They are indeed a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to those who suffer from any disorder, internal or external. The purification of the blood and the consequent removal of all noxious matter from the secretions, and their gentle action upon the bowels, are the source of the curative powers of Hol loway's pills. LADVEICTISEMENT.f —Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabic°. Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1366.—" The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has contlued himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial affect on his healt's, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent fool too highly."

The third meeting of the .conference Jae ou r Wednesday morning, in the hall of the City Terminus Hotel. There was again a numerous attendance of dele gates. Mr. E. Butler, of Leeds, presided ; supported by Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., Mr. H. Cossham, Mr. E. Miall, Mr. W. Edwards, Mr. Carvell Williams, &c. The Rev. W. GRIFFITH (Derby) moved, and Mr. GRIM. WADE seconded, the appointment of the executive com mittee, council, and officers. A short general discussion took place, and the feeling was generally expressed that the executive committee should prepare a tract to meet the " No-Popery " cry which was now being so unscrupu. lonely used. In support of the resolution, Mr. P. A. TAYLOR, M.P., said he could not resist the temptation as an old member—he believed he might say aboriginal member of the society—of attending on that occasion and offering his congratulations upon the great and marvellous stride that their principles had obtained. (Cheers.) Church rates were as good as dead ; the Irish Church—that instrument of political and religious wrong, that banner of Protestant ascendancy and English conquest —had received its inevitable doom. The entire disen dowment of religious creeds, the entire separation of Church and .‘state, could not be very long delayed. He was by no means sure from the speed at which they were going that they would live to see another conference, (Laughter.) lie was one of those who hoped great thingi from the new Parliament on all questions, but especially upon ecclesiastical questions. There were many who seemed to doubt what the new PSrliament would do ou account of succeeding apathy and reaction. He could just remember the great Reform Bill of 1831 ; but there was no parallel between the two cases. That bill did away with nomination and admitted the middle classes ; but they had well-nigh enfranchised a nation. A house hold suffrage Parliament was a different thing from the ad mission of a particular class. Coming events cast their shadows before them, and the mere shadow of the new Parliament had converted a " broken ratble" into a com pact phalanx of sixty-fi vemajority last week, and how many this week it would be difficult to say. The further en dowment of the English Church was not matter of great interest to debate, whether the principle established in the disestablishment of the Irish Church, the Legislature had condemned the English Church, or whether the Irish Church was to be regarded as a dead weight to the sounder establishment of England, the severance of which would give further life to the latter. He inclined to the former opinion. They could not conceal from themselves that they had no longer difficulties to contend with in a compact English Church. The great danger of the English Church was from within, not from without. Anyone who watched the course of events must recognise that the danger of the Church Establishment now was from within, from all the best and truest minds in the Church, who were declar ing that they would not be bound with the bonds of an Erastian Church, and from the difficulties daily arising in that Church. (Hear, hear.) He believed the Church wauld presently see that the only solution for all its difficulties was the entire separation of the State from all creeds. (Cheers.) The Soirde was held in the evening, at the Hanover square Rooms, Mr. T. H. Tillett, of Norwich, presiding. Mr. EDWARD MIALL was received with loud cheers. He said that he felt his mind too pressed with the magnitude of the events of the last few weeks to give adequate ex pression to his feeling. It would suit him now to go into solitude ; and instead of receiving compliments and hear ing his name mentioned with gratifying allusions and epi thets, as he had done during the last two or three days, he would rather be in some district apart from men, to commune with his own sense of responsibility and with the greatness of the work which was still before them. He did not believe they had entered upon a period of triumph. He believed, however, that they had entered upon the engagement, which, severe as he had not the least doubt it might be, and the _ times disastrous both to themselves as well as their antagonists, would yet end in victory for the truth. (Cheers.) Allusion bad been made to another meeting— a meeting which he supposed had by that time come to a close—(laughter) —a meeting that ousted them from the room in which they had lately held their assemblies. He would not cast any contempt upon those who had assem bled together to defend what they regarded as sacred truth. Whatever might be their character, he admired and honoured those who would stand by their convictions when those convictions were threatened by perilous opposition. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that any thing was gained by blackening the character of oppo. nents. But there was one thing connected with the meet ing that struck him as not merely curious, but anomalous. Here were a number of men consecrated to the ministry, holding high offices in the Church, exercising vast influence over the minds of the people, and meeting together for the defence of what they called the Church of Chris:, who nevertheless in reference to Ireland had never put to themselves, and did not put to the public, the inquiry wh , ther that institution was or was not in conformity with justice. (Hear, hear.) According to the brief report in the paper he held in his hand, they had never said to themselves, "If we can find, according to the canons of the morality of the New Testament, that the Church in Ireland is not in accordance with the law, ' Do unto others as ye would they should do unto you,' then, whatever Le our ecclesiastical organisations, or what ever be our vested interests, or whatever may be our preference for religious institutions of this or the other kind in connection with the State, perish everything rather than that we should do wrong." Now, this was the tone which ought to be expected from bishops and arch bishops, and that was the tone to which he was surprised there was no response. That they should never have taken into their consideration the question, " Is that which is proposed in Parliament in accor dance with right, with justice, with generosity, with the virtues that are inspired by Christian character and Christian doctrine, or is it not?" seemed to him to augur what the end of the thing would be. (Hear, hear.) God did not favour causes because those who professed His name in the world took unjust courses with a view to pre serve them. Mr. Miall concluded by moving the following resolution:—" That this meeting rejoices that in response to the strongly-expressed wishes of the British people, the House of Commons has, by triumphant and repeated majorities, resolved that it is necessary that the Esta blished Church of Ireland should cease to exist as an establishment. That it desires to express warm admiration of the course pursued by Mr. Gladstone in seeking to bring about so important a result, and an earnest hope that the policy which he has initiated will be strenuously supported by the friends of religious equality—not only at the present time, but when the question is remitted to the constituencies at the approaching general election." Mr. MASON JONES seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. H. ALLON, and agreed to unanimously. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE REFORM LEAGUE AND THE IRISH CHURCH. A meeting of the Reform League has been held at the offices of the association, under the presidency of Mr. Edmond Beales. The following passages relative to the Irish Church occurred in the annual report of the executive, which was submitted to the meeting : —" We congratulate our members and Reformers generally on the successful issue of the debates on the subject of Ireland, and the carrying by such large majorities of the resolutions of Mr. Gladstone for disestablishing the Irish Church. We feel we are entitled to attribute this result in a great measure to our agitation of the past three years and the carrying of the Reform Bill of last session. On this point we cannot abstain from adverting to the declaration of Mr. Disraeli that it is the profound conviction of himself and his col lergues that the opinion of the nation does not agree on this subject with the vote of the House of Commons. We feel it unnecessary to comment on the astounding nature of this declaration in the face of all the expres sions of public winion which have been elicited by the efforts of brother Reformers, but we think it our duty to accept that evident challenge, and shew unmistakably that the great mass of the people cordially agree with that vote, and are earnestly desirous of seeing complete reli gious freedom and equality established in Ireland. We shall shortly take the necessary measures for this purpose." — The President read a letter from the secretary of the London Working Men's Association, inviting the execu tive of the Reform League to consult with the council of the former body on the advisability of holding an open-air demonstration regarding the presen t p olitical crisis.

The further consideration of the subject was then adjourned. The election of the new executive was then proceeded with, after which the proceedings terminated.
