and General Governor of Ireland.

" The Memorial of the Roman Catholic Archbishops and
Bishops of Ireland,

" Humbly sheweth—That Memorialists are disposed to co..
operate on fair and reasonable terms with her Majesty's Govern-
ment and the Legislature, in establishing a system for the further
extension of academical education in Ireland.

" That the circumstances of the present population of Ireland
afford plain evidence that a large majority of the students be-
longing to the middle classes will be Roman Catholics ; and me-
morialists, as their spiritual pastors, consider it their indispensable
duty to secure to the utmost of their power the most effectual
means of protecting the faith and morals of the students in the new
colleges, which are to be erected for their better education.
" That a fair proportion of the professors and other office.
bearers in the new colleges, should be members of the Roman
Catholic Church, whose moral conduct shall have been properly
certified by testimonials of character, signed by their respective
prelates. And that the office-bearers in those colleges should be
appointed by a board of trustees, of which the Roman Catholic
prelates of the province, in which any of those colleges shall be
erected, shall be members.

" That the Roman Catholic pupils could not attend the lectures
on history, logic, metaphysics, moral philosophy, geology, or
anatomy, without exposiog their faith or morals to imminent
danger, unless a Romaia Catholic professor shall be appointed for
each of those chairs.

" That if any president, vice-president, professor, or office.
bearer in any of the new colleges shall be convicted before the
board of trustees of attempting to undermine the faith or injure
the morals of any student in those institutions, he shall be imme-
diately removed from his office by the same board.
" That, as it is not contemplated that the students shall be pro.
vided with lodging in the new colleges, there shall be a Roman
Catholic chaplain to superintend the moral and religious instruc-
tion of the Roman Catholic students belonging to each of those
colleges ; that the appointment of each chaplain, with a suitable
salary, shall be made on the recommendation of the Roman Ca.
tholic Bishop of the diocese in which the college is situate, and
that the same prelate shall have full power and authority to remove
such Roman Catholic chaplain from his situation.
" Signed on behalf of the meeting,
" >I D. MURRAY, Chairman.

The first vessel direct from the West Indies, with sugar, that
has for several years arrived at Galway, is the Pacha, Leggett, from
Trinidad, now discharging there.

A Limerick paper says :—" The extraordinary progress of the
crops, notwithstanding the continued prevalence of dry weather,
has been the subject of general remark and thankfulness to Divine
Providence. Not a single failure has been reported in the potato
crop; on the contrary, so rapidly is it shooting forth, that the
trenching of them up is going on with general celerity. Should it
please Providence to continue the same favourable prosperity, the
next harvest will be one of the earliest and most abundant ever
remembered in this country. The rain of Thursday evening last
has produced a most beneficial effect in field and garden. The
growth of grass, even on light soils, was never better so early in
the season.
