A still more convincing peoef of Catholic sympathy
than the men thronging dthe curious to whom a
ceremenial of an imposing and attractive nature, is
adduced by the impotent hut, that some thirty out
of fifty additional studenh matriculated for the w-
aist session ere of the Roman Catholic persuasioa.
After the distribstios of premiums to those stu-
dents who had passed triumphantly the or-
deal of assiduities, the President, Sir Robert
lam peressid to deliver the sessional address, which
essopied seasidnably over an hour. The address
mu mainly devoted to a defence of the system of eda-
Miss practised in these collages, and by which a
guismile Ist the faith and morals of the students is
'laded, which is not the cue in the purely secular
colleges of continental countries, eminently Roman
catholic as some of these countries are—es, for
instance, France and Belgium. The learned
professor, after a rapid, bat minute, review
of the program of education in other coun-
tries as well as in Ireland, proceeded to descant
as the benefits certain to result from a system of
mixed eduatios, particularly in Ireland, where
sectarian differences had been reductive of so much
strife and animosity between the members of different
Greeds. Having congratulated the citizens in
general on the facile.e now afforded them
of imparting a substantial as well as culti-
vated education to their children, accompanied
as that 'decades would be by the watchful
solicitude of their religious and moral preceptors,
which was not the cue heretofore, when youth, par-
ticularly Roman catholic youth, were subjected to the
emitaminating influence of institutions which afforded
no protection for their religious tenets,', he con-
cluded, amid loud applause, by de:laring that the
session of 1860-61 had commenced. The interesting
proceedings tam tansiamed.
