LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.

Tag result of the ecclesiastical conferences at
Thistles, is to leave the question ot collegiate educa-
tion pretty mash where it was before. Tne moderate
party among the catholic I:eshops who fear the ulti-
mate consequences of an attempt tocetablish ee system
of separate education, as likely to prove mon perilous
to the spiritual loyalty of the laity than the utmost
hazards of protestant Retain on history, or dull tear-
°Bettors in Swim metaphysics,—the moderate party
have neither yielded nor succumbed. After loog
debate, the Synod 4 sa'd to have leen equally divided
on the practice' !question, whether they should pro-
nounces any opitnen ll on the suitability of the
Queen'. College., for ttei purposes of mixed educa-
tion ; a nominal d cities hems only obtained by
the outiog voice of the newly-appointal primate,
who, as it is well known, adheres to the opposite side
be the controversy.
The greater part of Dr. Cchtxte's life has been
passed in Rome, amid an exelusively catholic com-
munity, and in avocations which of necessity gave to
Ideas of clerical authority, predominant, if not en-
grossing sway. He become hubituated to a state of
society in which not only a prit at was absolute king,
and where (eery oMee in the state was filled by eccle-
siastics, bet is which the standing policy, both of
foreign and domestic administration was professedly
the teceredency of the cstholio faith. Supposing him
to be a thoroughly sincere and single-minded man,
be moat have long 'Mee ceased practic try to
measure systems and laws by any other stand-
ard, than that of HILDEBILLID. In the mind
of such a man the interests of the world,
when not identical with those of the Palmy, are
simply eynosymous with those of the flesh and the
devil—not to be parleyed with, not to be bargained
with—mtrely to be ignored and set aside. And is
as nom.xed community the realisation of such views
is apparently parible. latest. etual acquirrence may
be but nominal, and the subordination of men's
thoughts and questionings may be only superficial;
but uniformity of external pr he ion may, se we know,
be obtained, and tho winds of controversy may be
locked up in no fabulous cave. Spain, Italy, and
Austria attest the practicability of a more or less
complete system of the kind we speak of: how far
the state of any of them inn, be deemed satisfactory
or encouraging even in a strictly catholic tense, we
stein act here to inquire..
But the exclusive system in a mixed community is
a wholly different matter. The great end for sake o t
which elsewhere it exacts such sacrifices of individual
and axial freedom cannot even in semblance be se-
cured. The catholic bishops in Ireland who oppose
the Queen's Colleges desire Reoperate university,to be
pieced entirely under their control, hoping dove tidy
that within its precincts the breath of protestant doubt
may never enter. Suppose they had their way—that
the txp emu nt of the college s were abandoned—
and that in a rigidly oath die establishment the most
ainhiticus and acquisitive mind. of the next generation
were schooled in the t erect itneesardallthe learning
et the ancients. how wculd such training fit them
to eudnre the collision to which they must needs be
exposed in after ? So long as the youthful
questioner Varied within the shade, of the Ise cloister,
the right of professional authority, or the unoon-
flicticg dicta of a carefully elected library, might
silence, it they did not wholly still, his perplexities.
But in the active life of med.eine, commerce, or the
bar, men cannot intellectually sustain themselves by
bodes alone. The struggle has too long been free;
and the habits of thinking and speaking of necessity
are toosesrehiug to render it paisible for any man to
maintain hi. position by mere reliance on authority.
If he cannot wrestle and grapple with a sudden as-
sail:et, his accurate knee ledge of obsolete tactics will
prove but of little avail; and if helms not been trained
to contend and accueto:ned to the rough usage of con-
flicting o,deions, no store of rusty weapons or un-
preer.m armour will save him from discomfiture.
We would not be supposed to mean that polemical
exercises ought to constitute a portion of the me-
scribed curse of study in pieces of collegiate study.
What we contend for is, that in the presence of these
who avowedly differ from them in certain grave
es-entiale of opinion and belief, young men acquire
the habit both of toleration and self-relianoe---the
two noblest elements cf healthy civilisation.
Dispel tion in the chin-room is disorder. Con-
troversy ie the colle_c pulpit is a very questionable
exercise of p-storal discretion. Insidious attempts at
proselytism by heeds of linu-cs or professors is palpa-
bly a fraud deserving of in more forbearance than
mean larceny. Bat the companionage of youths dit
tering in by reditary creeds is fall of mutual benefit.
The arrogance of imagined superiority is laughed out
of countenance ; the still worse seams of self-distrust
is worn away. Friends are made, not converts; and
instead of rival bands of opinionated and feeble bigots,
we have the intermingling sympathies of self-
respecting and self-restraining men.
To many of the Irish catholic bishops these advan-
tages are clear. To the venerable Archbishop Men-
RAY, who has passed a blameless life in the midst of
aegry parties and won the testimony of their universal
prase for wisdom, piety, and worth—the dangers of
deterioration and detriment appear incalculable if a
separate system of cillegiato education be insisted on.
No man understands more clearly what is foe the true
interests of his flock : no min in the recent Synod
could have had fewer impulses of a perinea nature
to warp his judgment ; and, had he stood alone in
maintaining that with certain modifications not un-
reasonable in themselves, the Queen's Colleges
ought to be sustained, his opinion would
deservedly have much weight with all sober
and reflecting men. But what by his side there
are known to have stood twelve out of twenty-five of
the Catholic episcopal body, who declared themselves
unshaken in the opinion that with caftan modifications
the proposed collegiate system ought to be cheerfully
adopted by the eatholio community, itis manifest that
the question, as ore either of church discipline or of
individual conscience, is as far as ever from being set-
tled by the Synod of Thurlee.
Rome is finally appealed to in the capacity of
grand arbiter of the Celtic controve-sy. B
are resolved to send their chosen remesentatives
The primate-legate is determined to plead his own
cause before the Propaganda; and two of the opposite
side proceed to the same distant tributes' 'seeder that the
views and reasonings that have swayed their brethrea
and themselves may be fully stated and considered.
This it has hardly beau before. One thing is clear,
that if any concessions can with propriety be made to
satisfy the scruples of the moderate party, they aught
to be made freely and promptly. It has been thole-
lotting sin of English rule in Ireland never to colossi*
in time. Everything that Las boa lishisi--essard-
peeler., municipal reform, the 00 thestehime--essit
has been stupidly withheld = the rose of
concession was gone, and them node part of
am unavailing attempt at reparation. In the

UR Count de Cusaisoan, bathe known as the
Dub of DoiDasta, has addressed, through his
seceetary, M. Haan:mm:lr, a letter to hi. foams is
Yams, which, having by chasm mud without

looking at date or signature, we mistook
script of the roes It not merely anuses th
divine to dispose of all the wealth, power. and -
rial resources of France, but to exudes coldly Run-
llRted sway over the minds and wills of Fte%haes.
He (Cnexeoan) pretends to be in politics •
roes, with much more claim, pretends to be _
gion—the great arbiter, the irrefregable authority,
the pontiff of moral law. The deputise (dicer

the prince, but the political confessor sad whippeve
They are to practise hypocritio submission to the
powers that be, only so far and so long as he (Cat%
Bolo) shall permit. He has hitherto granted large
dispensations in this respect, but he will henceforth
he more chary of them, aid will require all loyal
Frenchman to return to "these honourable traditions
of " which prevailed in the &ye of
Louie XIV.
The poor Count de CHAMBORD might as well have
made his appearance on the terrace or the green of
the great garden of Versailles, attired in the pongee
and court suit el the 17th century, as hate ad-
dreeced the modern French with such a Ball as this
of Secretary BARTHELEMY. And yet the pretender
does not reason without premise& From the pees
and from the mouth of most men he learns that
France is sick of revolution, and eager to fall dews
before some principle of authority in politics as well
as In religion. His reading informs him that the
French have tried a military despotism, the old me.
narchy with an octroyed constitution, id a middle
class monarch with a parliamentary charter. And
by the rule of the actor, who was neither fit far
tragedy nor comedy, but must be fit for something,
there is to alternative for France but to sink ones
more under the old perruque of Louis XIV. The
grave politicians who rale matters in France at price,
sant, recommend their fellow-econtrymen to do thee
in the matter of religion ; why should it not be dose
in politics?
The Count de CHAMBORD allele, however, a greet
mistake in supposing these great politicians to be
sincere when they %yoke the principle of authority
in politics. They are eager to establish the authority,
not of a political pope, bat of a certain number of
eaparitis enough to form a parliamentary conclave.
He dreams of monarchy with an aristocracy depend.
ant on it. They rave an oligarchy with the name of
a monarch to veil it. CHAMBORD or BORDEACX would
suit them as well as any other. But he evidently his
not divined their meaning, nor come into their terms.
And we should say that the Count de CHAMBORD%
letter puts an end for ever to any chance that he
might have had of ascending the throne of France.
His assertion of the divine and indefeasible right of
legitimacy without popular sanction precludes the
future attachment of any seas,ble legitimist. The
only hope indeed that the most sanguine
could entertain of a restoration of the old retying.
was its being demanded by a union of the two
extreme*, of the old aristocracy and of the people.
Disgusted, betrayed, disappointed, crushed, there
was no knowing to what must the French people or
populace might turn their views. Universal suffrage
returned the present assembly; universal suffrage
elected Louis Naronzow ; why should not universal
suffrage make the proper genuflexion before the
legitimist Count de CHAMBORD ? It might have
beim dere, could the Count have unlearned that he
was a Bourbon; could he have laid claim as a man
of mese, and courage, and consideration ; could he so
conduct himself as not to be detected, despised,
and laughed at ; but this, it appear., was impossible.
The faults end foibles of the ORLEANSES are so
recent, that they put that line quite hors Jr combat
for the present. This Louts rumens felt, when he
recommended his grandson to postpone his rights
to those of the Count of Cuemenosto. Lours

reign makes him more foes than friend.. Here
was CHAMBORD's beat chance, that of inheriting and
picking up the hopes and affections that his rivals fling
away. Instead of poking them up, however, he has
now flung them away. Ile might have said what be
has to his followers in a whisper, and thereby
put more compactness and discipline in his party.
Batt* have spoken out as he has done is demented.%
It is not the will of heaven that such a Ind se that
should eves reign.
There is, however, in tho world of politiesi pro-
pel.. one great residuary legatee of the talweltsass of
fonliel princes, and that is the republic. It is a form
of government that in no great kingdom of Europe is
at ell likely to come of itself. It certainly did mat
so coma either in America or in France. But it has
come of the faults of rulers and the injustice of
dominant claimer. There are a great many objections%
it, especially in a volatile people little used to eelf-go-
veroment, self-dependence, or self-development. There
are few specimens of man !em republican than the
Frenchman. But republican he mast be, if no monarch
will suit him. And it strikes us that there is ao
earthly chance of any. one's doing so. The political
Pope of Wiesbaden is certainly not the King far
Frenchmen, who, even in having their wills and cow
seiences suttee/led, do not like to be broadly told se
The circumstances attending the discomfiture and
flight of the whole tribe of Orleans, are really too
lamentable, too ludicrous, tco destructive of
all dignity, for any great mass of the
French public to go to any risk. or entertain more
than a cold respect for them. Louts NAPOLEON had
a name to captivate the people, and especially that
most valued class of the people which nets between
the middle and the lower. But instead of looking to
II the quarter where his strength lay, instead of fan-
ning the embers of Bonapartism into anything like a
national flame, he has merely coquetted with the mem-
bers of an upper class that hate him, and pandered to
the fears, and sellishnees, and meanness of the com-
mercial class, that in fact care for no one; so, at this
moment, however tolerated as a president, he is as far
as either of his rivals from the throne. His faults
mere than even theirs have strengthened the repel:i-
lia feeling, and we do believe that his worthlessness
ed witlessness have more consolidated that form of
=let in France than the presidency of

it is the plain duty of the Permanent Committee to

which its own arise, sad to come forward sad oppose by
sonatitatiosal mans all attempts to violate the fundamental

ment have &dined to execute those ordinance's, cm the
ground of their sworn al egianie to the conetitution ; the
higher and the cape -me courts have sledded, as often as the
matter has been brought formally befogs them, that therms
seta are contrary to the law of the land, and therefore not to
be carried into effect. Aced yet the ministers dare is demand
obedience to their illegal decrees, invoking the name of the
constitution, and threaten the sworn servants of the state
with penal chastitement on disobedience. Bur, although the
ministry has done its best to phone the ration in a:initialer',
no one Deed doubt that, notwithstanding these threats, the
cause of right and law will emerge victoriously from the
present trial if the people will but abide steadfastly by its
duty. THU PalleAllirer CW.111117113 Or rue graind.

A letter dated Cassel, Sept. 21, says : "The state
tribunal has met thrice to consider the indictment
preferred against the ministers by the Permanent
Committee. The decision is awaited by the public in
the greatest suspense, for on that depends whether
Hassenpflug and his confederates shell shortly lit
within four stone walls, or be allowed to trouble the
land for another six mouths. Except the half-dosen
creatures of Hassenpflog, no jurist doubts the uncon-
stitutional 'character cf the late proceedings upon
whose illegality the courts have already pronounced
indirectly. All that is uncertain is whether
the committee of the Assembly, or the Assembly
itself is the proper proseentor. Should the court decide
that the latter only is competent to impeach the minis-
ters, the meeting of the ne r chamber most be waited
for, and even this might be dissolved before proceed-
ings were taken. Oa the other hand, should the
court pronounce the competency of the committee to
prosecute, Hassenpflag's fate would be inevitable. He
would certainly be condemned, and without hope of
escape, for the constitution excludes the dispensing
power of the sovereign. The new ordinance directed
by Hassenpflug against the officers of the treasury and
inland revenue departments is now printing."
A Frankfort letter, of the 21st says:— Yesherday

and spent several hours with the Austrian ambes:
eider and other members of the Austrian diet, after
which he returned to Wilhelnisbad. We are all asto-
nished by a report, which derives a certain degree of
authenticity from its origin, that negaciations are in
progress for a joint intervention of Prussia and
Austria in Hesse. It is impossible to conceive of
Prsssia enterinir into any rack proposition without
renountiog the idea on which her entire foreign and
domestic policy has since March, 1848, proceeded.
We hear to-day, an pretty good authority, that an
Austrian_jager battalion is marching from Bohemia
