POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIIIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE BETTING MAN AND THE COOK—A BREACH
OF PROMISE CAE.—A remarkably good-looking
young woman, with a profusion of ring!ets, applied
to Mr. Tyr what for his advice under the following
circumstances :

The applicant said that she was a cook, and that
she had become acquainted with a person who
had promised to marry her, Lut SOlll3 words having
taken place between them he now rJusel to fulfil
his promise.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the applicant what the man
was, at the same time telling the young woman that
he had no power to interfere iu such a case.
The applicant said that he was a betting man.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the applicant whether that
being the case-she, considered it much of a loss.
The applicant said he was also a teacher of gym-
nastics, and was a black man—(laughter) —and he
was also a married man. All she wished was to
punish him, so as to have revenge on him. She did
not care what it cost her, so that he was punished.
Tyrwhitt advised the applicant not to throw
her money away for such a purpose.
The Applicant thanked the Magistrate for his
advice, and left the court smiling, but evidently not
quite satisfied in letting her gay Lothario escape.
SERIOUS Loss BY A FOREIGNER.—Jobn Behrens,
a merchant staying at the Frankenstein Hotel, Wil-
son-street, Finsbury, was charged More Mr. Tyr-
whitt with being drunk and incapable yesterday.
The defendant was found by Police-constable
Todd, 37 C, in Mo3r-street, Soho, in a helpless
state and taken to the police station, and charged
with being drunk, and on being brought before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, was discharged.
Our reporter was informed by a f►icnd of the
defendant's that he had ascertained for the defen-
dant that he had, after spending the evening at the
Alhambra, gone to different houses, and that he
had every reason to believe that something more
than drink was given to him, as he suddenly be-
came stupified, and on recovering his senses found
himself in the station and nearly £5OO in foreign
notes, mostly Belgian, had been taken from him.

MIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION IN
IRELAND.

(From the 31 ;)fah.)

There are probably not many, even among the
loudest opponents of the proposed measure for the
disestablishment of the (so-called) Irish Protestant
Church, who believe in their heart of hearts that
the passing of that measure can be long delayed.
They may be determined to do all that they can to
avert what they consider so great a calamity, and
they are not to be blamed if they fight hard, even
withiut much hope of ultimate success. On the
other hand, the very certainty of what must, sooner
or later, be the issue of the conflict now raging
around us, may perhal s be disadvantageous in its
effects on many who vi WI well to what seems to be
the winning side. There are many, perhaps, who
have no taste for agitation, and who dislike the
uproar and excitement of such a conflict, and they
may be inclined to fold their hands and forbear to
exert their full energies on the present occasion,
just because the result is hardy uncertain —foi•-
getful_ that such indifference works, in reality,
against the cause which they have at heart, al-
though it is not likely to defeat it altogether.
The wis r course would, perhaps, be to use every
possible exertion to bring about the speedy termi-
nation of the contest. Whatever may be the
feelings and the motives of the friends of the. Irish
Establishment in England, there can be no doubt
that the Orangemen of Ireland, and a large num-
ber of other Protestants who would repudiate the
title of Orangemen, accustomed as they are to the
privileges and nurtured in all the traditions—in the
pride and swagger, and bluster and pomp —of
ascendancy, will certainly die as hard as they can.
The last thing that can be expected of them is,
that they should listen to reason and let themselves
be gently persuaded to resign their pretentious
position without a struggle. We shall have, there
fore, to witness the process of the more or less fore -
ible reduction to their proper position as a mi-
nority of a largo class of persons of -rigorous
character, determined, self-reliant, and by no
means cowardly or scrupulous, who have hitherto
lived in supreme and confident contempt of the
mass of their fellow-countrymen, in the undisturbed
belief. in their own innate and lleaven-ordained
superiority—dreaming, moreover, rather that they
themselves were conferring a benefit and earning
the gratitude of England by keeping up her domi-
nation over Ireland than that they were a small
colony of which very short work would have been
made long ere this but for the power of England
behind them, and that that country owes them
thanks for nothing except for having made her
Government the object of intense hatred in Ireland
and in America, and of the scornful criticism of
the whole civilized world besides. Now, this pro-
cess is of a kind that had better be got through as
soon as possible. There can be no real peace or
security for Ireland till the Eystem of Protestant
ascendancy, in all its manifold ramifications, be
utterly demol.shed, ti amp led under foot, buied
and f rgotten, and a new; system of perfect equality
of race and creed established in is stead in full life
and vigour. If some representative embodiment
of " ascendancy " could be preserved in spirits of
wine, by the s'cle of the Danish swords and gold
collars in the Royal Irish Academy, is might per-
haps be well that antiquarians should have the
opportunity of refreshing their memory as t its
surpassing and inconceivable unlovelincss ; but the
sooner all record of it vanishes from the mind of
the people of Ireland the better it will be for all
the h'ghest interests of the nation. A new edifice
of harmony and happiness has to be raised in Ire-
land, and the first step must be to get rid of the
hideous portent which now occupies the ground.
Everything must wait till the work of demolition
has cleared the way.

Although it may be possible to exaggerate the
immediat! consequences of the destruction of Pro-
teataut ascendancy in Ireland, and although it may
be very difficult at the present moment to forecast
the future so accurately as to discern for certain
what those consequences may be, it is at least a
matter of practical importance to reflect that the
change cannot possibly be insignificant, and that
it is sure to tax to the utmost the energies of all
true lovers of the Church and of their country, in
order that the great opportunities for good which
will present themselves may not be allowed to pass
uuheede 1, and, perhaps, even that some possible
dangers may not b..) unprovided for. We hear
many speculations as to the result of the dis-
establishmeut of Protestantism in the country, and
we are not inclined to ad I oar own contribution to
the number. Surely, the results will in the long
run very much depend upon the Catholics of Ire-
land themselves. It is quite possible to conceive a
state of things ensuing after the demolition of the
,Establishment, many features of which wou'd be
discouraging and disastrous. Some people tell us
that there will be greater bitterness between classes
which are already separated by crud as well as by
position. Others are so good as to predict that
there will ensue a separation between the Catho-
lic clergy and the Catholic laity, and that a golden
reign of " Liberal " Catholicism will set in. " I
believe," writes a sharp Protestant clergyman to
one of the ablest of our London papers, " that the
spread of true Protestantism and liberal teaching
will be much served, and that more progress will
be made in enlightenment and civilization, such as
are incompatible with the so-called Ultramontane
views, during the next ten years than has been
made during the last hundred." Others take a
brighter view—brighter, that is, in a Catholic
sense—and predict that all the evils which now
afflict Ireland will suddenly disappear. We con-
fine our own prognostications to two prosaic state-
ments, both of which are founded on reason, and
therefore, we suppose, tolerably certain. The first
is, that as no one who knows Ireland ventures to
call Protestant ascendancy a merely sentimental
grievance—as it is, in reality, a grievance on which
rests a whole system of social injustice, biting
deeply into the heart of a noble and, therefore,
sensitive people—the destruction of such a griev-
ance, tardy though it be, cannot but tend to change
most happily the whole tone of feeling of that
people towards those who have hitherto maintained
the obnoxious system, and now have removed it.
The race which has borne it patiently, though
indignantly, will reward the justice that is done it
with a gratitude almost as great as might have
been c tiled forth by an undeserved benefit. Our
second prediction has already been anticipated.
Results very good or very disappointing may
follow from the disestablishment on which we are
now engaged. Which of the two will follow
must depend very much upon the intelligence, the
activity, the loyalty to the Church, the amount of
cultivation, the wideness and justice of view,
which are brought to bear upon the opportunities
and difficulties of the new position of the Catholics.
The title prefixed to this paper will sufficiently
indicate to which of the many urgent needs of the
Catholic population we are now directing attention.
The very marrow, and muscle, and sinew of the
nation is its middle class, and the peculiar condi-
tion of Catholic Ireland, as also the strong tendency
of the age in which we live to throw power into
the hands of the people, make us look with special
eagerness to this class among ourselves. The
destinies of Ireland are in a great measure in their
hands. Much as we hope for the future, much as we
may reasonably expect from an era of peace, har-
mony, and justice, shining for the first time on a
nation which has so long been denied ordinary
opportunities for the development of its abundant
energies and unrivalled natural gifts, it can
scarcely be denied that the dawn of this happier
period in the existence of Ireland finds her most
important classes, at the best, imperfectly educated.
We believe it to be true that in whatever way the
youth of this class have had an opportunity of
testing themselves by public competition the re-
sult has been remark tbly in their favour, even
without making full allowance for the great dis-
advantages under which they have laboured in re-
gard to preparation for those examinations. What
we must insist upon is that no disadvantage at all
shall in future exist. This must be urged not only
on the Government ani on all those whose posi-
tion gives them the power to remedy the wrong,
but on the class itself on which the wrong has

operated. Any syskm of social or intellectua—'
depression continued for centuries must infallibly
alect those who are subjected to it' not merely in
the way of actual injury, but in that a'so of taking
away the desire and the pursuit of better things.
To take no other criterion of a fact for which the
present generation is certainly not to
,blame,
surely the condition of literature in Ireland, the
scanty support accorded to it, and the. comparative
weaknes3 of its influence, i 3 an evidence of the
absence, of that wholc3ome. s'imulus to intelle-
tual activity contained in a sound and elevating
system of .middle class education. Literature
helps on education, bat education must come be-
fore literature ; and when the latter languishes,
when people who have time and money to spare,
who can afford th emselve-S amusement. 4 and luxuries
of a certain kind, take no interest in the world of
thought, w 3 may conclu le that material well-being
and prosperity have outrun, in their case, the pro-
gress of intellectual culture. Such persons When
entrusted with political power, and placed in the
front of a great national movement, are not indeed
without all Pght to guide them and all training to
fit then for the emergency, but they are still only
half furnished at best with the qualifications re-
quired for the adequate discharge of the momen-
tous. duties imposed on them by Providence. The
supply of abundant educational means for the
middle class of Catholic Irishmen thus becomes one
of the most crying nece3sitie3 of the present
eventful time.

It may be worth while to remind ourselves of
part at least of the history of intermediate educa-
tion in Ireland. It is not that nothing has been
done to provide this boon for the people, but that
all that has been done has been done in the wrong
way, and with the distinct end in view of using
education for purposes of perversion. It is im-
portant to insist on this, because the same prin-
ciple is still in operation, and has not been by any
means abandoned in the hearts of many who call
themselves the friends of education in Ireland.
The evil spirit of bigotry first worked openly and
without disguise, and afterwards put on a mask,
which it still wears, First of all, the Irish were
deprived of the ample means of education existing
in the country before the so-called Reformation, and
then education was offered them at the hands of
Protestant achers. This downright system
failed, and tie mixed system was devised to suc-
ceed it—a system which has been used for much
good, by being made, in practice denominational,
but which is clung to pertinaciously by a large
and influential party, because it puts fetters on
Catholic education, and " muzzles " the Catholic
religion in its own home and on its own domain.
The spirit which still keeps up this system, be-
cause it prevents any outward display of Catholi-
cism in schools where teachers an I children are all
alike Catholic, is akin to the spirit which kidnaps
children in the holy name of charity, and b. ibes
starving peasants into apostacy by the and
un lividel offer of br,?al and the Protestant Bible.
The workings of this spirit in Ireland are as of
as Protestantism itself. The tale of intermediate
education in that country shows how theinstitu-
tions which at one time afforded education to the
Irish race were in the first place tratnpled under
foot, and literally crushed out by force of law, the
handmaid of despotism; in the second place, how
by the same force all substitutes that would or
could be accepted by Ir:slunen were rigidly pro
hib:ted ; and lastly, how education, supplemented
by endowments and foundations, was off ere 1 to
that people on the condition of their foregoing
their ancient language and religion. This history
is unfolded and detailed in the " Report of her
Majesty's Commissioners appointed to inquire into
the endowments, funds, and actual condition of all
schools endowed for the purpose of education in
Ireland, accompanied by minutes of evidence, docu-
ments and tables of schools and endowments, pre-
sented to both Houses of Parliament by command
of her Majesty." The report—contained in 287
pages of Blue Book, besides an Appendix of 56
pages—and the minutes of evidence, in three
bulky volumes of 2,334 pages, were presented to
Parliament in the year 1858. The commissioners
were the present Marquis of Kildare, the Right
Rev. Dr. Graves, Bishop of Limerick, George
Hughes, Esq., now one of the Barons of the Court
of Exchequer in Irelan 1, and two barristers
at-
law. As wo believe th-it this report is little known,
and likely to be entirely overloiked, by reason of
the more lively interest excited by the recent re-
port of the English Comtni,sioners on the cognate
institutions in this country, it is desirable to call
attention to its contents at a time when every de -
tail likely to throw a light upon the present state
of Ireland should be studied by the statesman and
the legislator.

TIIE MASTODON IN SOUTH CAROLINA.—Captain
C. 0. Boutelle, of the United States Cl..st. Survey, whilst
making explorations in the neighbourhood of St. Helena
Islands, South Carolina, recently unearth,d a hugs RlM-
tudon, lying in a bed of in ►rl. The skeleton was perfect,
but a portion of the bones very soft, while other parts are
petrified. The bonus are of enormous size. Professor
C. U. S..epard, of the South Citrolint 3ladical
College, and his son, the professor, who recently returned
from Europe, will exhume the monitor and bring it to
Charleston. It is the first mastodon yet discovered on the
Atlantic coast, though it has heretofore been mot with iu
the West. The Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Sciences has received from Kansas the bones of an enor-
mous reptile embedded in crystalised gypsum, and is now
engaged iu chiselling them out and putting them together.
The vertebral column is over 30 feet long, and the moo•
ster is believed to have been more than 50 feet in length.
Professor Cope pronounces it a hitherto unknown species
of saurian.
