The Daily News presses for immediate information as to
the truth of a rumour that Lord Russell and his eel.
leagues have agreed to the terms of the Roman catholic
prelates of Ireland, requiring that the senate, which is the
governing body of the Queen's University, "shall be reoon.
stitated in such a manner as to secure the confidence of the
Roman catholic hierarchy." The senate does not confer
any theological degree ; the subjects of the examinatios do
not embrace theology ; and both professor and members of
Senate are chosen for their ability, irrespective of religions
opinions. Bat if the proposal of the Roman catholio hie-
rarchy is admitted persons will be selected who are distin-
guished for their sectarian peculiarities. It is bard to
believe that a liberal government can be contemplating such
a step in Ireland.
The Times compares the contest which is now going on
between the Prussian House of Commons and the govern-
ment with that which 2C) years ago put our own monarchy
into abeyant*. The antagor,sm is complete, and neither
party seems to have left itself a way of escape. Bat the
Germans, though they can feel, and think, end write,
and talk, are not men of action, and the means
of action in this ease are not in their hands.
They and their chamber do not even bold the parse strings,
for the taxes once voted in Prussia can always be collected,
and there is no Appropriation Act which shall anansily
compel the crown to square seoonats with the people. The
King of Provsia could manage to get on, not quite as welt
Is he wishes perhaps, but as well as some of his neighbours,
without any parliamentary contarrenee in his policy and
measures. It oast a great struggle to wrest the command
of the public panes from our own great absolutist, and the
Prussians have yet to do their part. Perhaps circumstances

may come to their aid.
The Pod remarks that it is diffioult to know how to
counteract a policy which, while it undermines the liberties,
ministers to the ambition of the nation. It the oppoeition
does get power into its bands, it will do well to secure,
before all Glee, that cartel* defiled ministerial responsi-
bility which is not more necessary to the establishment
of parliamentary government than to the honour and safety
of the throne. _ _ .

The New Zealand correspondent of the Times anticipates
that the war which began upwards of two years ago will
not last many months more ; and the Tines enlarges upon
the statement. The enemies who have given us so much
trouble and cost us so much money could hardly ever have
numbered 5,000 altogether, and never of late years seem
to have brought as many as SOO fighting men actually
into the field. The tactics of regular warfare
and the traditions of military command unfit im-
perial troops for making war on marauding savages;
and it is not surprising to learn that operations deemed
either impolitic or impracticable by General Cameron with
his large form of men and appliances, have since been
accomplished by a few hundred militia and natives. The
colonists are taking the proper steps to make the war a final
one. It is proposed to send all prisoners of war over to the
Middle Island and put them to useful labour, and this

se hem a, (*opted with other prooeedinp, wig probably ao.
celemte the coming poem. When the enemy can be counted
by hundreds and is losiog men every day, it is impossible
that the war can be long maintained.

moured that a peerage has been offered to, and accepted by,
Sir Charles Wood.

Some few months since a workman named Henry
Knell, employed at the carriage department of the Royal
Arsenal, Woolwich, composed and published a work en-
titled " Chips from the Block," being essays upon quer
Bons connected with social science. Her Majesty having
seen a copy of the work, forwarded to the author, through
Sir Charles Phipps, a cheque for 101., accompanied by a
letter erpreseive of her approbation of the praiseworthy
manner in which the author bad oocupied his spare time.
Mr. Knell has just brought out another work, being a
" Guide to Woolwich Armed," and °outside( interesting
details of the several depertmeete of that establishment.
A copy baying been forwarded by the author to the Queen,
she through Sir Charles Phippe acknowledged the receipt
of the same, and expressed her entire satisfaction with the
oonteuta of the work,

The Princess Dagmar has not been in good
health for some little time, and fears have been enter-
tained that ber royal highness's iedispreition may result in
a serious affection. The Princess intends, however, to ac-
cept an invitation from the Empress of Russia, and to pay
a visit to the imperial family at St. Petersburg during the
summer.
