THE DOMAN CATUOLIC BISHOPS AND THE GOVERNMENT.

It will be interesting to the Daily Ne,re to know what
Mr. Disraeli could say in refutation of the insinuation
that the government " waited for a considerable time for
the purpose of seeing how far the bare offer of a charter
for a Catholic university might be made to servo political
exigencies." Lord Mayo is distinctly called on by the
Irish roman catholic bishops to declare whether he
holds the negotiations which have taken place between
the government and the hierarchy to be at an end. The
bishops declare that they did not break them off, and that
they are willing to re-open them. If Lord Mayo ear that
the matter is absolutely terminated, there will be some
plausibility in the suspicion that Mr. Disraias overtures
to ultramontanism in March and his incendiary orangoism
114,Itine are electioneering tricks. We doubt if the English
protestant/I will be such easy dupes as the Irish catholic
bishops seem to have been.

On the 10th of July Mr. Fawcett will move,
" That, in the opinion of this house, catholics, presby-
teriane, and other inhabitants of Ireland, will not bo
placed in a position of equality, in reference to university
education in that country, with those who aro members
of the Established Church, until all religious disabilities
are removed from the fellowships, scholarships, and other
honours and emoluments of Trinity College, Dublin."
As an amendment to Mr. Fawcett's resolution, Sir Joseph
WHenna will move to leave out all after the word "until,"
in order to insert the words "Her Majesty's subjects in
Ireland, of various religious denominations, more particu-
larly catholic@ and presbyterians, shall be afforded by the
state equal advantages in respect to education, and equal
protection for their religious faith, to those now afforded
by Trinity College, Dublin, to the protestant Inhabitants
of keland."
