CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY AND CHURCH
PATRONAGE.

A meeting of the senate was held In the Arts School at
Cambridge on Saturday, for the purpose of discussing
the recommendation of the syndicate, in regard to the
presentation of livings, which fall into the hands of
Roman Catholics, and which necessarily lapse into the
hands of the University ; and are now appointed by the
resident and non-resident members of the Senate. Mr.
Clarke, the Vice-Master of Trinity College, and late public
orator, expressed his opinion that the University should
petition Parliament to be relieved of the power of exer-
cising such an act of injustice towards Roman Catholics.
He said all other persons, Dissenters and Jews alike,
presented to livings, and there was no just reason
why Roman Catholics should be deprived of the privilege.

CHURCH AND STATE IN ITALY.

FLORENCE, October 27.

The conditions on which the Italian Cabinet is prepared
to regulate the relations between Church and State in
Italy will form the subject of a Bill to be laid before the
Chambers at their assembling. The principal among these
conditions are the following : _

1. All the existing political functions of the Papal Go
vernment to be abolished.

2. The Pope to remain invested with ecicesiastical
rights, and, as the Chief of Catholicism, to be entitled to
receive the honour and the liberty due to a Sovereign.
He will be free to select his own personal staff and court,
which must depend on him exclusively.
3. Territorial immunity to be secured to the Sovereign
Pontiff, and his freedom and independence in matters con-
cerning the interests of the Church, whether at home or
abroad, to be guaranteed.
4. All Prelates or ecclesiastical orders residing within
the Holy See, whether congregated there for Councils or
for other purpeses, to enjoy absolute freedom.
5. With a view to establish for the Holy Father free
communication with the interior and with foreign nations,
a special postal and telegraphic service to be placed at
his disposaL
6. Representatives of foreign Powers at the Holy See
to possess the same privileges as they enjoy at other
Courts.

7. Papal Legates, missionaries, and couriers to be
treated as the representatives of a friendly Power.
8. The Pontiff to be free to publish his decisions, whatever
they may be, whenever and wherever he may choose.
9. The Italian Government to defray the expenses of
the Papal Court, and assume the past Pontifical debts,
passing to the Italian State the charges thereto belonging.
10. With a view to tranquillise Catholics and foreign
Powers, the Italian Government agrees to sanction, by an
international compact, these guarantees for the liberty of
the Church and the independence of the Pope.
The general principle pervading these proposals is
the desire of the Italian Government to honour
the Pope as a Sovereign and e. friend. The Cabinet,
especially Visoonti-Venosta, are animated in their delibe-
rations by a wish to prove to Europe their intention to
respect the sovereignty of the Pontiff, while taking firm
ground upon the essential principle of " free Church in a
free State— Correspondent of the Telegraph.

Summonses were issued on Saturday for a Cabinet
Council, to be held at the official residence of the First
