TO CORRESPONDENTS.

" Anti-Impositio n."—We would realty advise our correspondent
to consult an attorney. He seems to us to have acted
incautiously; and B. and D. may probably be disposed to
play into each others hands. A verbal agreement to pay
monthly would be sufficient, if it could be proved.
Sunday Schools.—We have been called upon by a gentleman
requesting us to explain a passage in a letter contained in
our last publication, signed J. G., regretting that steps bad
not been taken to secure a school to be connected with St.
Peter's Church, in the immediate district. We are assured
by the gentleman in question, who has left his address, that
he himself opened a Sunday school in Manesty's-lane on
Easter Sunday, commencing with 20 children, which number
has since increased gradually by his own unaided efforts to
nearly 100 children, of whom GO have been the largest number
present at one time. His statement, however, does not
impugn the correctness of J. G.'s complaint, which was
that little had been done by the church itself.
tr,- We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communications
on subjects of local or general interest ; and if our friends
will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa-
tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged.

THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.

THE POPE of ROME threw down the gauntlet, and
the people of England have zealously taken it up.
An aggression has been made upon our religion,
our loyalty, and our laws ; and the aggressors now
begin to feol that, like a defeated pugilist, they may
come off only second best. The QUEEN is the
head of the three estates of the realm, the centre of
our loyalty, and the fountain of honour; but the
holy father quietly ignored her existence, and
assumed her right, while the holy children drink to
him first or exclusively in their symposia, as the
Jacobites drank the health of " The King"—over
the water. A synod was held at Thurles, which
agreed to ascertain from the POPE whether Roman
Catholics should obey the laws of the United
Kingdom in the matter of education or not; and
though the doctors disagreed, his holiness gravely
decreed that they should not. Yet, strange to say,
this decision affects only the middle and upper

classes, those who seek for the higher education
which belongs to the gentleman, or affords an
entrance to professional life; the children of the
poor may enjoy a mixed education in the national
schools as heretofore; There are some who would
carry out the principle, and keep even the children
of the peasantry in ignorance, unless they could be
educated in schools under the exclusive manage-
ment of the priesthood; but either their numbers
are few, or there is no hope of securing that point
at present, for it is insisted upon but gently. As if
to complete the absurd aggression which is thus
wildly and wantonly begun, the whole Christian
world is informed that England is returning to the
ancient church ; not that which was planted in the
apostolic ages, but that whose corruptions had
become too gross for endurance in the beginning of
the sixteenth century. And all this occurs at a
time when every reader of the newspapers is aware
that the conversions from Popery are literally a
thousand to one, when compared with the perver-
sions to it. In the diocese of Tuam alone, which
consists almost exclusively of the counties of Mayo
and Galway, and which includes the Roman Catholic
diocese of the lion of St. Jarlath's, they amounted
some time ago to 100,000 ;though
Dr. PLUNKETT
is not a popular prelate, nor has he ever been cele-
brated for ultra Protestantism.

With these facts before us, we are not to be sur-

Tised at a re-action. Lord PALMERSTON supposes

that it is not so much in the minds of members of
Parliament as in those of the public at large ; and if
so, that is only a proof of the well known principle
—that Parliament follows, but does not lead, public
opinion. It is also said, and, as we believe, truly,
that the feeling which has been aroused will ex-
ercise an important influence on the approaching
elections; thanks to the "brass band," both in and
out of Parliament. It will not do to blow hot and
cold in rapid succession ; to assume the tone of the
imperious dictator to-day, and that of the fawning
suppliant to-morrow ; to show what would be done
with the high hand, if power were possessed, and
then, "with bated breath and whispering humble-
ness," to plead persecution. A local contemporary
has noticed the suicidal policy of the Roman Catho-
lics, both here and elsewhere, in attempting to dic-
tate, in forgetfulness of their contemptible numbers ;
and in rousing against themselves an antagonism
which Protestants would gladly let go to rest.
The motion of Mr. SPOONER, which was ably
supported by Mr. WALPOLE, is not for the anni-
hilation of Maynooth, or for an abolition of its
grant, or for a reversal of the policy of 1845, or for
a diminution of the number of students educated.
The sole object of it is to lead to inquiry, and to
produce facts in evidence which may either warrant
future legislation, or put an end to sectarian agita-
tion. We are amazed that so simple and harmless
a proposition should be viewed with alarm by the
Irish representatives and others of that class ; for
those who possess the mens conscia recti are
usually the very first to demand an investigation
into their conduct. Leaving the question of doc-
trine untouched, let us inquire simply on the three
grounds noticed by the Secretary for the Home
Department, and decide by that issue. Is it so
that the Roman Catholics are unable to educate
their own students, as has been practically averred
for 57 years ? The accumulation of funds for a,
[Roman] Catholic "University," is an awkward
reply to the question. It would seem, too, that a
farther aggression is contemplated, for the college
to be founded by these funds is ostentatiously
styled a " University," as if the power of conferring
degrees were to be derived from Rome ; though it is
notorious that by the laws of the United Kingdom
foreign college distinctions are as illegal as foreign
peerage distinctions. Is it argued that a do-
metic priesthood is produced here ? The Irish
" Catholic" Directory will show that, a few years
ago, when the Romanists were ostentatiously quoted
at seven millions, they required a permanent staff
of about 2,000 clergy ; and now when they can
barely reckon upon four millions, and these rapidly
diminishing with their pecuniary resources
diminishing also—it cannot be said that the same
number is necessary. Or, has the sop to Cerberus
been successful in breaking up the "confederacy"
which Mr. Keogh admits to exist against the
Church and Constitution ? Let the events of IS4B
testify; let the aggression of 1550 testify ; the
statutes of Thurles; the policy of which that fact
was the forerunner and exponent, and which is con-
tinued to the present hour.

There is much apathy among Protestants respect-
ing their cherished liberty of conscience, and those
public events which affect its interests ; but the
motion of Tuesday last shows that the feeling in
favour of pure religion, law, and order, is awakening
in all classes of society; that our regard for the
great principles of the Constitution is "not dead
but sleepeth."
