Undoubtedly this must be regarded by men of all parties as a bold scheme, whatever may be their opi nions as to its wisdom. It is a step directly in the teeth of all the_past policy of Grcat Britain, and for which even the establishment of the national system of education in Ireland has scarcely prepared us. We are virtually proclaiming the fact that in her academiCal legislation towards Ireland the go vernment of Great Britain is infidel ; and that, whilst it offers rewards for the inculcation of the truth in science, in arts, and in philosophy, it es teems the existence of a truth in religion as a thing not recogniSed or wort h see ki ng. I t o ff ers to the youth of Ireland lectures and examinations in me dicine, in mathematics, in geology, and in botany; but it leaves them to pick up a religion in the streets of Cork or Limerick. Their parents may indeed aid in the search those who have resident parents ; but the necessarily large number who are to be left free from all parental or proper academical control during thr course or their studies, may contract a know ledge of the truth, or imbibe error, as they may. This, then, is th e i nst rumentality by which the social condition of the middle classes of Ireland is to be ameliorated. We are to make them philo sophers, cheMiSts, geologists, botanists; but we are to lay down the thought of making them Christian men. In our eagerness t 3 raise up a generation of savans, we are running direct upon the course best calcu lated to produce a nation of heathens. Where, we ask, have we any warrant for the hope that such a measgre as this—such godless policy —can produce any other than evil results ? The non-religions cha racter of the instruction offered at these colleges will effectually drive from their portals the Protes tant youth of Ireland ; a n d we venture to predict that, on this very ground, it will not be acceptable to the Roman Catholics themselves. For the cor rectness of this opinion Mr. Shiel shall be our voucher. During the discussion on the introduc tion of that measure, that gentleman said : Luc reproach, that no reng.,...— struction whatever was to be given under the proposed might be removed. The object of th e Govern ment, of course, was t o make themeasure acceptable to the great body of the Irish people, and to those who had great faith and influence with the Irish people—the catho lic priesthood of the country. Now, he felt satisfied that the great - body of the catholic clergy would complain of the absence from this measure of the. means of conveying religious instruction." 3, MAY 13 U had not A the American We have, there- e American press, and, arriving at something like people; e American on the whole, those preservation of pacific We are not, however, quit Ow power or consi satisfied that it is in 'nt with the honour, of Great , od in Britain to purchase that consummation of the way pointed to by our brother journalists of America.

We see, moreover, no good end likely to be attained by doing PO.

But it may become a question how long the Govern ments of civilised Europe will tolerate the insolence and aggressions of this democratic imperium in in:- perio ; and, in our humble opinion. t 4uestion is Just now presenting itself for solution. Republican institutions may be all very well as " models" ; but, however ingeniously correct i n t h e i r theoretical pro portions, we can no more allow them to throw off all external constraint, and run a-muck against the • laws of nations, than permit a locomotive engine to traverse our roads without a 4river, or the " model" heifer at a cattle-show to exercise his horns at pleasure upon his admiring spectators. If America possesses no strength per se to control her democracy, we must try what wp ran do to find it for her. 'cognis Popery is surely just now in mighty favour with the British people. Scarcely has she recovered from the pleasant surprise excited by the proposed endow ment of Maynooth, than she has a further concilia tory sop thrown to her by the bounteous hand of our Conservative Ministry, in the shape of a large grant for secular academical education. Cork is to have a college, which is to absorb some £30,000 of the public money for the erection of the necessary buildings, and £6OOO a-year for the salaries of pro fessors, &c. Galway or Limerick, in the west, 14 to have a similar institution, at a like expense; and Derry, or Belfast, to have one for the north.

It appeared that, on Saturday night, William Horton, by trade a tailor, saw a female in Paul -street in toxicated, and findi g she could not take care of herself, he volunteered to assist her towards her home. The pri soner came up, and said she was his sister, at which he expressed his satisfaction, as he would be relieved of further trouble. Presently several more fellows came np. The prisoner stopped his mouth, and they all laid hold of him and rifled his pockets of sixpence, four half-pence, the key of a box, and a tin case. The parties were pursued by the complainant and a police-officer across Scotland.. road, but all of them escaped but the prisoner, who was kept in sight all the way to Nash-grove, where he was ap prehended leaning against a wall. He was committed for trial. HUBARD PORTRAIT GALLERY.—In looking over the extensive collection of profiles here exhibited, we were much pleased with the very forcible manner in which the likenesses are carried out as regards outline, character, and finish, p ortraying at once the real character of the in dividuals, many of whom we instantly recognised. The style of finish is also somewhat new and highly effective, and cannot fail to please both friends and sitters. ~~ ~R ~_ 11,'44 i t ~1 41 °I Y 4il v e rt ' l t h 41 it f t T~ A.
