To the document containing these conditions Lord Maya
replied as lately as the 11th instant. He expressed the
opinion of the Government that the adoption of such sug-
gestions would materially alter the character of the pro-
posal made by him in the House of Commons. The
Government wished the clerical and lay elements should
be adequately represented in the governing body, the
offices being filled up by a system of free election. In the
first place the appointment of all heads of colleges
should be subject to the approval of the university
governing body. And as to the Chancellor being an
ecclesiastic, that would be inconsistent with one of the
fundamental principles of such an institution, namely,
that such a dignitary should be elected by the university
at large. The Cabinet were not prepared to add to
the number of the hierarchy on the board, nor
could they consent to the future Chancellor being
elected by the Senate, and not by Convocation. He
ought to be the choice of the whole body
of graduates. The six lay members of the Senate should
also be elected by Convocation. Lastly, the proposition
that the episcopal members of the Senate should possess
any power greater than that of their lay colleagues was
one which her Majesty's Government could not entertain.
To this Dr. Leahy replied on the 16th inst., in the fol-
lowing curt terms : " My Lord, I have the honour to
acknowledge. the receipt of your letter respecting the
bych theang ighesßinyt Rourepv.
plan

TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE. IN I'HB

A telegram, dated San Francisco, May 7, says : "The
barque Comet, from the Sandwich Islands, brings
accounts of a terrible volcanic eruption by Mauna Loa,
which began its demonstrations on March 27. On the 28th
100 earthquake shocks were felt, and during the two weeks
following to April 13, 2,000 earthquake shocks occurred.
At Waischina the earth opened in many places, and a
tidal wave sixty feet high rose over the tops of the cocoa
trees a quarter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings,
houses, and everything moveable before it. A terrible
shock prostrated churches and houses, and killed minty
persons. In all 100 lives were lost, beside a thousand
horses and cattle. The craters vomited fire, rock,
and lava, and a river of red-hot lava, five or six
miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten
miles per hour, destroying everything before it, and form-
ing an island in the sea. A new crater two miles wide
opened, and threw rocks and streams of fire a thousand
feet into the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the
sea. At one time, the illumination was visible at night
fifty miles distant. The lava has pushed out from the
shore one mile. At Waischina, three miles from the shore,
a conical island rose suddenly, emitting a column of
steam and smoke, while the Kono packet was passing,
spattering mud on the vessel. The greatest shock occurred
on April 2, a great shower of ashes and pumice. During
the great shock the swinging motion of the earth was
dreadful, so violent that no person could stand. In
the midst of this tremendous shock an eruption of red
earth poured down the mountain, rushing across the plain
three miles in three minutes, and then ceased. Then
came the great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava.
The villages on the shore were all destroyed by this wave.
The earth opened under the sea and reddened the water.
The earth eruption swallowed thirty persons, and the sea
many more. Dreadful suffering and terror prevailed in
the district, and the whole region was affected. The
sloop Live Yankee has been despatched with Provisions,
&c., to rescue and relieve."

THE CHURCH IN THE WEST INDIES AND TIIE
CONSOLIDATED FUND.—The text of a bill intended to re-
lieve the Consolidated Fund from the charge of the
salaries of future bishops, archdeacons, ministers,
catechists, and schoolmasters in the West Indies has been
published. At the present time the charges upon that
fund amount to £14,000 for the bishops and archdeacons,
and £6,300 for thel inferior clergy and other persons
referred to. The bill now before the House, which was
brought in by Mr. Adderley and Mr. Sclater-Booth,
provides that no person hereafter to be appointed to any
of these several offices shall be paid out of the Consoli-
dated Fund. It is to be prospective in its operation, and
will not interfere with the interests of the existing in-
cumbencies.

In the Ssach Court of Session, Lord Bareaple
has decided an important question between two classes of
preference shareholders of the Great North of Scotland
Railway Company. The Company's Act declares that
the dividends attached to the new preference shares at
4i per cent. shall rank parri passu with the dividends
on the original 5 per cent. preference shares. This
is held by his lordship not to affect the amount of
the dividend for which each party ranks ; and that the
original preference shareholders have no preference over
the new preference shareholders for arrears of dividends
in ranking on the free profits of subsequent years. The
Lord Ordinary also held that the company could not
legally resolve to pay dividends by allotments of capital
stock. The judgment is to be carried into the Inner
House.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT LEEDS.—Efis Royal
Highness retired from the mayor's and Mrs. A. Fairbairn's
ball at a quarter-past three on Wednesday morning. He
then took a most gracious leave of his host and hostess,
and acknowledged with much condescension and cordiality
the enjoyment he had derived from their splendid
entertainment. The public were admitted to the Town
Hall to see the internal arangements which had been
made for the mayor's ball, and in everything they recog-
nised the liberality and good taste which had actuated
their mayor's desire, to give the Prince of Wales a
becoming welcome. The Mayor of Leeds has received the
following letter from General Knollys :—" Templenewszun,
May 20, —My dear sir, I am desired by the Prince of
Wales to convey to you his warmest thanks for all your
attention to him, and fur the very pleasant evening he
passed at the Town Hall, and for the enjoyment of which
he feels so much indebted to Mrs. Fairbairn and yourself.,

The corresponceiace relative to the pr*sed Cartel ,0
the Irish Roman Catholic University has been published.
It commenced on the 23rd of October last, when Archbishop
Leahy and Bishop Derry applied to Lord Derby for the
charter, having been deputed. by the Roman Catholic
hierarchy to do so, and to conduct the negotiations
without limit or restriction. The Earl of Mayo
simply acknowledged the receipt of the letter, and
nothing further was done in the matter during
Lord Derby's tenure of office. On March 14, just
after Mr. Disraeli had been appointed Prime Minister,
Lord Mayo wrote to Dr. Leahy, enclosing a "confidential
memorandum." With respect to the Government pro-
posals on Irish policy which had been announced in the
House of Commons, Dr. Leahy replied, urging several
objections to the scheme as set forth in the memorandum,
and added that both he and Dr. Derry would wait
on. the Chief Secretary on an early day. On March
21 the two prelates had a lengthened interview
with Lords Malmesbury and Mayo, and having stated
their views, agreed to put their opinions in writing. This
they did at great length. They contended that the new
university ought not to be simply an institution for
holding examinations and conferring degrees, but ought
furthermore to be a teaching university, having its
own full staff of professors, men of the highest
mark in every department of letters and science,
who should deliver courses of lectures open to th 4
students of the several colleges affiliated to the university.
The colleges ought to be perfectly free as regarded their
internal concerns, the appointment of rector, professors,
and other officers, the course of studies, and the rules and
regulations. Then, the Chancellor ought to be a prelate,
and they respectfully suggest that Cardinal Cullen should
be the first Chancellor of the new university. After the
first nomination by the Crown, the Chancellor should be
elected by the Senate (an exclusively Roman Catholic
body, including four bishops and the President of May+.
nooth College), and not by Convocation, which would be
composed mainly of youthful graduates. The election of the
six lay members of the Senate should also rest with that
body itself, and not with Convocation. Further, the
safety of faith and mortar-in -t:helminreity
only be secured by recognising in the bishops, as
members of the Senate, the exclusive right of
morals. That right belongs to them, and to them alone, as
pronouncing authoritatively on all matters of faith and
compared with laymen ; for, according to the doctrine and
discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, it was not com-
petent for laymen, nor even for clergymen of the second
order, however learned, to judge authoritatively of faith
and morality. That was the exclusive province of bishops,
who should have the sole power of judging as to heterodox
teaching of professors, lecturers, or other officers.
Protestant students need not be required to attend
any Roman Catholic observance, but, on the other hand,
the liberty of the professors to treat, in a Catholic sense,
of history, ethics, law, or other subjects, ought not to be
restricted. Lastly, the veto of the Senate over the
appointment of the professors and other officers of the
affiliated colleges, as proposed by the Government, was
uncalled for and ought not to be maintained.
