A "ROOD" SETTLSKINT OP THE IRISH
CHURCH QUESTION.

The friends of Irish reform must not forget that

whenever the time comes to deal with the Irish esta-
blishment they will have to encounter a demand for the
setabliahment of Roman catholicism in its place. The
following is an extract from a leading article in the MLitt
on this subject:
We are of those who think that the notion of settling
the Irish church question by simply confiscating the pro-
perty of the protestant church, and abolishing its privi-
leges, is a foolish notion, and that it ought to be opposed
as being foolish, futile, and wrong. There are those
who hold, as we do, that the legislature would do
well to per measures tending towards the establish-
ment of equality between the protestant and catholic
churches in Ireland, and who agree with us that it would
be desirable that, while the affairs of the protestant church
in Ireland should be resettled according to the reasonable
requirements of the protestant church, the resettlement of
the affairs of the catholic) church in Ireland should receive
parliamentary sanction, after an arrangement and an under-
standing had been come to by the government of her Ma-
jesty with the only authority competent to give consent
thereto, we mean the Pope of Rowe. We think it would
be a good thing if this arrangement included such terms as
that the catholic archbishops of Ireland should have seats
in the Houma of Lords ; that the lands should be purchased
by the state and settled upon the sees of the Irish catholic
archbishops and bishops ; also that lands should be pur-
chased by the state and settled upon catholic deaneries,
chapters, and ecclesiastical seminaries , also that glebe
lands should be purchased by the state and settled to the
use of the Irish catholic incumbents in Irish parishes ' • also
that the state should grant an endowment to an Irish
catholic university, and should give full recognition to
degrees conferred by it. All these we firmly hold would be
wise and beneficial measures, which would do honour to a
statesman ; and we are far from being solitary in this
opinion. . . . We hold that an attempt to settle the
question of the protestant church in Ireland, except impart
of a larger attempt to settle the question of the protestant
and catholic churches in Ireland, would do more harm than
good.

Ma. CARLYLE AND HIS TORMENTORS.— In refe-
rence to the letter of Mr. Ruskin, in which he put forth a
Parlous complaint against the " London mob,' on behalf
of his friend, Mr. Carlyle, the Publisher.' Circular, after
quoting the paragraph which appeared in our columns,
says :—" Mr. Ca• lyle cannot, of course, be mistaken is
saying that he has suffered insults from the mob of his
own neighbourhood which he has not experienced from
the lower class of Italian people ; but we believe that
the fact is, that the head and front of Mr. Carlyle's offend.
ing, in the eyes of the Chelsea gamins, is a huge felt hat of
a peculiar shape, which, it appears, is less remarkable in
Italian than in English eyes. It is, no doubt, very into-
lerant and very wrong in Chelsea boys that they should be
provoked to laughter by any article of Mr. Carlyle's
attire, or that they cannot look at a philosopher's hat with-
out allusions to Guy Fawkes ; but the odious tendency to
ridicule things which are strange simply because they are
strange unhappily is not confined to Chelsea boys ; even
among older and much more refined people, Mr. Mill's
principles of liberty are still, unfortunately, but little un-
derstood. We should not be sorry to hear that the young
offenders who have driven Mr. Carlyle to complain to his I
friend had received a sound thrashing ; but we are glad to
believe Mr. Ruskin has been too hasty in theorising upon
the ' instincts' of the London populace, and that the
annoyances which Mr. Carlyle has suffered have not arisen
from the fact of his being' old and clean."'
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORE& —The usual
weekly meeting of the board was held at the oboes, Spring.
gardens, yesterday, Sir J. Thwaitee presiding. The
board proceeded to consider tenders for the reconstruction
of sewers in Berrnondsey•street, Tooley.street, Newington.
causeway, &c. There were eight tenders, sod the board
resolved themselves into a committee to consider them.
On the readmission of the public the chief clerk (Mr. J.
Pollard) announced that the board had accepted the tender
of Mr. Thomas Wainwright, which was for the sum of
54,4001. Mr. Legg moved " That the solicitor be instructed
to take steps, when the Metropolis Improvement Rate Bill
is in committee of the House of Common'', for the inser-
tion of a clause limiting the taxing powers of the board
under the bill to a sum not exceeding 2d. in the pound in
any one year on the annual rateable value of the property
liable to the rate, and that the resolution of the board of
the 25th of May, 1866 (No. 11), limiting the amount of rate
' to be levied under the bill to 4d. in the pound per annum
be varied accordingly." Mr. Evans seconded the motion.
An amendment was proposed by Mr. Shaw, and seconded
by Mr. Richardson, that the sum should be one penny.
Upon a division both the amendment and the original
motion were lost by a large maj4rity. The board then ad-
journed.
