An able examination, in the Dublin University
Magazine, of a recent publication entitled " Past
and Present Policy of England towards Ireland,"—
which has been regarded as a sort of pilot balloon
sent forth to indicate the policy of government to-
wards the Roman Catholic Church of Ireland,—
brings into prominent notice a view of the question
involved in the Maynooth Endowment Bill, and that
further endowment of which it is the precursor,
which has hitherto been left too much in obscurity.
" Bilt we are told that, think as we may, or act as we
may, the Romish clergy must continue to be the spiritual
instructors of a vast majority of the people of Ireland;
and that, therefore, it is desirable they should be taken
under the protection and patronage of the state.. We
demur to both branches of this argument. We aver that
there never was a time when the clergy of the Establish
Church more faithfully did their ditty as Christian min

this, on the part of a Protestant government? ' There
shall be fewer ; discountenanced shall they be, and crip-
pled in their resources ; persecuted shall they be, and a
scoff to the blasphemers, whose threats and whose vim •
