Ireissnd.

"Old" and eyoung" Irekhd have been at logger
heads The quarrel was not very long, but 1t was
terribly intense while it lasted. Mr.. O'ConneIl, old
IN years and in shrswdness, seems disposed to think,
look into my deeds with thinking eyes g and, with
the exception Of Mr.. Smith O'Brien, from whose in
tenectual organization he has nothing to fear the
great Agitator bears no rival near his thrcne-eviuces
no desire to be pushed from his stool by young, and
ardent, and 1t may be, more practical spirits. Young
ireland, FOR instance, is In favor of mixed education
wishes to see Roman Catholics, Protestants, and
Presbyterians, receive, within the walls of the new
colleges, secular education at the same fount. "Old"
ireland, IN the person Of the great Irish leader. is op-
posed to this-hres at the least implied resistance to
his opinions or his policy, denounces :" Young Ire
land in bitter terms, and threatens to place his ban
upon the circulation of the. Nation newspaper.
. Young" Ireland, in the person of a Mr.. Davies,
one o' the writers In the prescribed print, gives way
literally sheds tears! at the idea of differing with
the father OF hrs people and Mr.. OConnell, determ-
lned not to be odtdohe IN sympathy, tceeps also at be-
ing obliged 10 ~castigate his refractory children This,
without attempt at exaggeration, is a history in little
OF a scene which occurred at the last Repeal meeting
in Cohciliation-han. 1t is only the beginning of the
end-the first move of the straw. Rumors have pre-
vailed for months past that intestine divisions and d.
vided councils reigned amongst the leaders, they
were hercely contradicted but the " scene" to
which we allude could not have been rehearsed in pri-
vate, and if the public dissensiohs are so bitter, those
which do not meet the "eye of the SUM- must be the
reverse of pacific. " : wt
The Catholic Bishops are up in arms against the
measures now before Parliament For establishing COL
leges in the north, the south, and the west of Ireland.
AT their meeting in Dublin, ONE few days ago, they
agreed to memoralize Government to modify some of
the provisions Of the bill, in order that the students
should have the benefit of religious instruction., by
Catholic Clergymen, within the walls of the colleges
that the Catholic Bishops should bave a veto upon
the appointment of the professors, and that due mea-
sures might be taken against the religious opinions of
the young men being tempered with. In the House
of Commons, Sir James Graham declared that some
OF these propositions could not be entertained; but
he expressed, at the same time, a sincere desire to
make the provisions of the bill as agreeable as he
consistently could with the wishes of the Roman
Catholics. But it is quite clear that the scheme will
be unpopular in ireland. Mr.. O,Connell is violently
opposed to it; the hierarchy will now be compelled
to denounce it and Its exclusive support will rest
upon the shoulders of " Young" Ireland-a some.
what fragile body, as recent events have demonstra.
ted. The second reading Of the bill was carried
recently by I, majority of 265. An amendment, pro-
posed by Lord John Manners, only met with 46 sup
porters.
