Sir ROBERT was no more the author of the Bill of ATTACK ON THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.
he was the author of the Bill of Rights,
Lost ; and it is rather shabby in his
son to appropriate the laurels belonging to another
man, even to entwine them round the brow of a
deceased parent. Mr. RICHARD COBDEN and the
League forced that measure upon him; and it
would have been well for his future reputation if he
had allowed that party the privilege of carrying it

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—Mr. George Moore's
trumpet-call for a meeting of the friends of " re-
ligious equality" was responded to by 17 out of the
41 members of Parliament who took partn the
two days' deliberations of the Tenant League Con-
ference, and, as the question of the heretic Church
established by law was expected to be brought on
the carpet, the P.P.'s and C.C.'s mustered in great
together with a few of the laity, not enjoying
the rank of senators, being members of the true

g to notice, the meeting took place
the Northumberland Hotel, but the proceedings
were deemed to be of too sacred a nature to meet

the vulgar gaze of the public at large, consequently
no reporters were admitted within the precincts of
the council chamber, and a meagre outline in the
"friendly journals" of this morning is all that is
given to satisfy the longings of the admirers of
" religious equality" after the approved Roman
model. Of the 17 Parliamentary representatives
present, one only (Mr. Tristram Kennedy) was not
a communicant of the Church of Rome. Mr. Geo.
Moore presided.

and Dr. Gray were appointed

Mr. Lucas, M.P
secretaries to the meeting.

It was proposed by Mr. C. Gavin Duffy, M.P,
and seconded by Archdeacon Coghlan,

" Resolved,—That a committee be now appointed, to
t with the friends of religious equality in Ireland
reat Britain, in order to come to a safe and well-
considered conclusion as to the manner in which the
question affecting this great principle shall be treated
in the next session of parliament, and to report thereon
to a conference, to be summoned at such time and place
as the committee shall determine."

The resolution was unanimously carried, after a
debate, in which several members of parliament and
clergymen took part. The committee to whom this
important duty was confided consists of all the Irish
representatives in favour of religious equality.

" On the motion of Mr. Lucas, M.P.. authority was
given to Mr. Moore, 'M.P., as chairman of the committee,
to summon the committee for the despatch of business.
"The committee has been summoned to meet to-day
at the Northumberland-buildings, at eleven o'clock
punctually."

The Freeman's Journal gives an inkling of what
is in store for the Protestant Church at the hands
of those ardent friends of "religious equality" to
whom has been confided the task of carrying the
foregoing resolution into practical effect :

"The preliminary meeting of yesterday at the North-
umberland Hotel, attended by a large number of the
Irish representatives— attended, also, by the most in-
fluential laymen and clergymen from different parts of the
country, including men of all religious opinions, is at once
an evidence of the earnestness of Catholic feeling on the

subject, and of the support which the movement will ob-
tain from liberal-minded men of all creeds. In this
struggle against the odious and iniquitous sytsem which
would oppress conscience, give an unjust ascendancy to
one sect, endow richly the church of a miserable minority
of the people, and compel the people—the people—those
who constitute the vast mass of the population—the great
bulk of the intellect, of the industry, and of the wealth of
the land, to contribute toward the support of that pam-
pered establishment in this great and righteous struggle—
the men who yesterday resolved fearlessly and boldly to
enter the lists will receive aid and co-operation not alone
in Ireland, but throughout the British dominions. We
have now a compact, able, and effective Irish Parliamen-
tary party. That party is resolved not to be an idle party ;
and in return for the sacrifices the people have made for
them they are determined to render effective services to
the people. That party will number not less than 60
members of the Legislature. On the question of religious
equality it will be a no less numerous and effective party
at the other side of the Channel, thus constituting a force
sufficiently formidable to influence the decisions of any
Cabinet, and, whenever occasion may offer, to influence
its fates, as well as its opinions, and the character of the
Cabinet that is to succeed. There must be an end, once
and for ever, to religious inequality ; and, now that a
powerful and compact Parliametery party exists—now
that an influential body has been named to watch over and
direct the course and objects of the rising movement—we
earnestly hope that the policy which will guide their coun-
cils will be—one agitation, once and for ever."

This day the committee assembled, Mr. Moore,
M.P., in the chair, when after a " lively discus-
sion," it was resolved on the motion of Mr.Sadlier,
M.P., seconded by Mr. Serjeant Shee, that "a con-
ference of the friends of civil and religious equality
be held in Dublin on the 28th of October next, to
receive the report of the committee appointed on
the 10th instant to consider the manner in which
the question of religious equality ought to be
brought before parliament next session, and to take
such measures in reference thereto as may be
deemed advisable."

Several resolutions relating to minor matters
were subsequently adopted, sub-committees were
appointed, and other arrangements were made to
prepare for the approaching conference, so as to
give the utmost effect to its deliberations.
I have every reason to believe (says the Times'
Dublin correspondent), that from the day above
indicated,—namely, the 28th of October, will date
the commencement of a widespread combination
to extinguish, root and branch, the Established
Church in Ireland. If this object can be achieved
by the old system of " agitation," no stone will be
left unturned to consummate the conspiracy now
set on foot by the willing tools of a foreign poten-
tate.

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

There is no truth in the report of the illness of the Prince
President. He went to the Elysee, on Tuesday, in an
open carriage, which he drove himself, and appeared to
be in his usual state of health. He will leave for his tour
on the 14th, instead of the 15th, for the sake of making a
day's stay at Bourges. The Municipal Council of Bourges
has voted a sum of 10,000 f. to defray the expenses of the
reception. The Prince will take up his residence at the
palace of the Archbishop. This palace is stated to be
one of the largest and finest in France.
The Moniteur publishes a circular from the Bishop of
Chalons to :the clergy of his diocese on the occasion of
the approaching visit of the Prince President. The Bishop
tells his clergy to offer up prayers for the Prince " who
devoted himself generously, ventured everything, and has
effected things which no one had thought of before his
time." He says " May he be blessed ! this man of God ;
this great man, for it is God who has raised him up for
the happiness of our country, to cure all the wounds which
sixty years of revolutions had inflicted ! Once more, may
he be blessed !" _ _ _

An extraordinary credit of 150,000 f. has been obtained
by the Minister of the Interior to defray the expenses
connected with public fetes.
Several of the municipal elections in the department of
the Drome having resulted in the election of members
belonging to the party of anarchy, the Prefect has sus-
pended the municipal ,;ouncils of Lariol, Livron, Etoile,
Beaumont, Barcelonne, Cambovin, Charpey, Parnans,
Upic' Alixanjand Plan de Bahr.
A letter from Paris says, " The new five franc pieces,
bearing the effigy of the president, have almost all been
cut across the throat as soon as issued. You can scarce
find one of those coins that does not bear this attestation
of the good wishes of the public of Paris for their
Saviour.' "

The Corsaire, the last Paris journal which ventured to
publish a political leading article, has been suppressed by
a decree of the Prince President.

The Pays has received privately a remonstrance from an
official source against the violence of its language in call-
ing for a sort of crusade of France and other Roman Ca-
tholic states against all the Protestant powers of Europe.
The famous tapestry of Bayeux, the work of Matilda,
the Queen of William the Conqueror, has been removed
from Lisieux to the Louvre, in execution of the decree
for collecting into a central museum relics of Kings and
Queens of France. At Lisieux, the departure of the
tapestry, so long the principal attraction of visitors to the
town, produced an agitation almost amounting to an
erneute.

ship Franklin, Captain J. A. Wotton, arrived off Cowes
