711 E SUSPENSORY BILL.

Speaking of the debate on the Irish Church to
come on to-night the Star says :—We do hope that
those Peers who think with Lord Redesdale will
not spend too much time upon the sin and sacrilege
phase of the controversy, but that they will calmly
discuss the practical question of how Ireland is to
be governed. Here is a nation of five or 0
millions of Roman Catholics whom we will not let
go, and whom we therefore must govern somehow.
Is that government to be one of justice, or one
of brute force? The gallant Lord Mayor of
London is prepared to govern by force ; but only
upon the distinct understanding that he is I3et
called upon to go nearer Ireland than the
Mansion House. A few similarly-minded fanatics
still dream of converting Catholics by bayonets,
and forcing Protestantism down their throats 11
the threat of revolvers. That policy has been
tried till the page of history is red with our
crimes and follies, and it has most miserably and
utterly failed. To suppose that a continuance of
such a policy is possible in these times, with
enlightenment and humanity at home, and the,
United States full of Irishmen at a few days
sail, is more than madness. Lord Redesdale dare
not go to his Sovereign and tell her that
it is her duty to keep up the Protestant
Church in Ireland though it might be necessary to
extirpate the Catholic population. There are greater
°
sins, he knows, than manipulating tithes, and tb
sin of guiltily shedding blood is the greatest. Let
the peers, then, look at this question in the sobe',
light of real life. We cannot go on coercing Ire
land ; and if we wish to conciliate her we must
begin with the Irish Church. It stops us at 0'
very threshold of all inquiry into Ireland's grle:l
ances ; it stands out boldly and avowedly as
de
giant grievance of them all ; and it must be de 6
e
with whatever wry faces may be made by peer er
commoner.

Tie remarkable petition in favour of the di°•
establishment of the Irish Church which Lo'
Lyttelton presented to the House of Lords on TneS'
day evening was largely signed by beneficed clergy"
men. At the head of the petition are the signature°
of the Deans of Canterbury and Bristol, and the
Archdeacon of Coventry. It is also stated th°t
associated with them are the Master of St. John
College, Cambridge ; Professor Jowett, of Oxford!
Professors Maurice and Kingsley, of Cambridge,
Professor Plumptre and Cheetham, of ICing4
College, London ; and the Head Master of Wripci.
chester, Harrow, Rugby, Haileybury, Clifton, an
the City of London Schools ; a considerable nnalci
ber of London incumbents, many fellows all
tutors of the two universities, and other clergymen.
There exists at Geneva an association of Catholi:
ladies for the exercise of works of charity, and
philanthropic society composed of Protestant ladieg'
The title:of the former is simply and modestlY
" Charitable Society ;" that of the latter "
ciation for the Suppression of the Evils of Public
Begging." The former has collected and di9tr;
buted among the poor 7,343 francs, reserving fro s
this amount but 16 francs 50 centimes for expense.°
of administration. The Protestant philanthroP,l,o
association collected and received 9,293 francs Iv°
centimes ; and here is the exhibit which they 1)°,,,
spread before the public :—Salaries of emplcle'!
2,706 f. 15c. ; rent, light and fuel, 894 f. sde9;,
postage, 248 f. sc. ; printing and sundries,
40c. ; distributed to the poor, 1,946 f. 25c. ; tot to
9,293 f. 700. Need we add a word of comtnel3'd
these figures ? Two thousand seven hundred s' to
six francs filched from the poor, because the age 1350
to whom the money is given for charitable tilio
ignore the blessed economy which the Catb°io,
Church prescribes to her children, whose holy 113
sion is to provide for the poor.—Catholic
At the last meeting of the Academy of Scielle,,e,,vo
pleasing and touching incident took place. jo
members of the illustrious assembly—Baron PliPEz),
(born in 1781, and elected academician in 18:10
and M. Mathieu (born in 1781, and elected in l'lo.
—were presented with a medal each in cotrimell.oo
ration of the fifty years which had elapsed °I
they entered the Academy of Sciences.
