• MAYNOOTH CoLLEQE.
On this part of the rubjett, Mr. FOSTER thought
it neeeffary to call to the recolleftion of the Hoare
what be-had faid on a farmer day verpeding the ad-
ditional grant of soool. in the lag year, to this Col .
loge, and which was alfo included is the nusginal
eftimate for thii year ; and although, for rrafons he
had already atligned, he fisould not refill the rant,
yet he thought 'the Houle fhould be fully apptifedof
the nature of the increafe upon the additional grant.
Ile, at the fame time, pi-melted againf his being pre-
cluded, by the atTent he fhould now give, from refill-
ing it on any future year. The original motive
which induced the l'‘oliament of Ireland •.o
a Roman Catholic College was, in order to prevent,
or render unnecetiary, :Le emigration of the rerl'ims
intended for the pridthood of that rcligkn in Ire-
land, to receive their. education in Catholic countries
which were natitrally.holtile tai the Btitillr tinpre,
and there imbibing political-principles, which would
render them dangerous inftruflors to Co numerous a
data of his Majelty's fitbjeas as the Irifh Catholics.
Upon an elliotate, furnithed by the principal Catho•
lie Clergy themfelves, it was-Elated that * fetninary
for the accommodation of two hundred linden-Is
would i e amply fufficient to fungi' annually the ne-
ceffary fupply of the Catholic prießhood ; and, ac-
cordingly, a feminary to that extent was built, and
80001. a year was granted for its fupport by the
Lift Paitiamenr, and continued by the Imperial
Pathat-gent, until lall yen, when, without any docu-
ment Itid on the table of the •Hottfe, any Committee
appointed to enquire upon the fubjeft, or any report
upon thettecellity o, expediency of the cafe, made
from any part of Ireland that he could trace, an ad-
ditional him of pool. was granted, as a part of
13,0001. for the purpofe of extending the buildings
and accommodations of that College, for the recep-
tion of two hundred fchnlars more ; juft doubling
the original number, which had been confilered am-
oty fuffiCient.' The reafon why he was induced, for
the prefent, to withdraw his oppolition to the grant
;was, that he found, upon conVerting with feveral
Gentlemenfromlaud, that the goool.granted fah
year, bad been expended in building, and that milers
it was granted this year, a firtrilar furn mull be taken
by the unities, from the ordinary grant of 80001. rn
Tay their contrafts, and that 'the College would
thereby be involved in difirelli ; but he gave fair war-
ning now, that this fbonld not preclude his refitiance
to the grant in a future year ; and he hoped the
Houle would paufe before it would accede to the
neceffity of increapng, nay doubling the RoMan Ca-
tholic Priellhood in Ireland, and inviting two hum
tired petfons to receive an unitterfitLeducation, with-
