LONDON, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 27.

Ir is satisfactory to find that Earl Russmes
speech in reply to Lord LIFFORD contained not one
word that can be understood to imply sympathy
with a proposal so reactionary and Irrational as
the establishment of another State Church in Ire-
land. The endowment of the Roman Catholic
clergy of that country has at all times found VA
advocates a.nong a class of short-sighted politicians,
who for apparent present convenience are ready
to adopt measures which would create difficulties
tenfold greater than those which they might remove.
The Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, being Ir;rh-
men, share, no doubt, the national feelings
of their countrymen. Their influence over
their flocks for good depends on their doing so,
and any transaction which made them appear to
be taking money to become of the English interest
would ruin them in the estimation of their people.
But if they are Irish, and are often found asserting
their country's claims, they are not disloyal ; by
interest and religion they are bound to the cause
of law and order, and have every reason to support
a Government which secures their Church in a posi-
tion of liberty such as it enjoys in only one
other Catholic country of Europe. Bat there
is a vast difference between protecting a
Church in its religious freedom and forming
an alliance with it. BURKE admired the in-
dependence of the Irish clergy, and Parr pro-
posed to buy them over ; but neither Brim nor
PITT had any conception of the retonsions or
power which the Roman Catholic Church has put
forward in these days, and which have troubled
every government in Europe that has entangled
itself in engagements with it. They did not
live in a day of " encyclicals ;" the Popes they
knew were easy-going old gentlemen, veshing for
nothing but a quiet life. Even Catholic govern-
'nen% find the Rrs...test difficulty In estiafp I
iog his demands of the Court of Rome, sod
Prussia has reason to know bow bard
it is to reconcile the claims of an infallible
and Divine power with the rights of the State,
which is only human. And what kind of relations
could subsist between the English Government and
the Roman Church in Ireland Is the Roman
Church in that country to be endowed and still left
free, while the English Church remains tied and
bound? It is idle, if not insincere, to bring this
question forward as if it could be treated as one
merely for the endowment of a national clergy. The
Irish priests are as clay in the bands of the potter;
they are the devoted servants of a foreign Church,
to which they acknowledge, and always will
acknowledge, a paramount allegiance, and it is with
that great Church, and not with a number of
humble Irish priests, that the reckoning will
have to be whenever the Irish Catholic
clergy are endowed. No government in its
