| LIVERPOOL, June l9.--The Maynooth grant bill
has passed into law. The Irish colleges bill will,
most probably, be read a third time and passed In
the Commons to-day, its progress having been de-
layed in order that the opinions Of the Irish Roman
Catholic bishops might have the opportunity of
being submitted to the House, through the Irish
members, who have all at once magnanimously
swallowed. the leek, in imitation of Shakspeare's
ancient Pistol, and transferred their persons and

| The CORN LAws.-In the Commons, June 10th,
Mr.. Viers moved for a committee OF the whole
house, his resolutions for the abolition of all re-
strictions on the importation of foreign corn Sir
J. Graham declared that the prosperity of ugricul-
must depend the prosperity of other branch
es Of native industry; and that the substitution of
protecting for prohibitory duties is the keystone of
Sir r. Peel's policy. He confessed that he had no
confidence in Lord j. Russell's fixed duty of As.
and said that, if got rid of the present corn-law,
we had better assent to total repeal AT the same
time he condemned all sudden changes and gave his
decided negative to the motion. Lord j. Russell
argued that the fall Of the present corn-law was in
dcated by the feebleness of the defence made for it,

PRoJEcTED RAILwAYs.--A curious return has just
been laid before Parliament, in relation to the pro-
jected railways now before both Houses II thence
appears that the railways, Of which plans and sec
tons have been deposited with the railway depart
ment of the board Of trade, amount in length, for
Great Britain and Ireland, to no less than eight
thousand and eighty miles, being thus nearly TWEEN
ty-four times the length of England itself! The
following are the proportions of the lines proposed
to be made in the different countries of the United
Kingdom England has, as her share of the pro-
jected railways 6066 miles and fraction; Scotland
has about one-enth the quantity the proposed lines
in that country only extending to 595 miles; Ireland,
however far ahead Of Caledonia in this respect,
and the sister isle has fewer than l,401 miles of
| railway projected to be laid down therein These
statements have regard only to the projected lines
which are this session before Parliament for consid-
| Grafton. They do not include any portion of the
| numerous lines that have since been, and are week.

were deposited with the board of trade towards the
close Of last year, in accordance with the directions
sisued by the railway department of that board.

The repeal agitation is as active as ever and the
leaders equally sangune of success, and determined
to obtain it. The following declaration is extracted
from one of the speeches Of the Liberator at the
Cork banquet:
| "Mind my words-scatter them, but without vio-
lence and you will be able to carry the greatest
oluton yet carriedthe restoration Of the coun-
try from provincial degradation to national dignity,
national security, national prosperity. (Tremen-
dous cheering) ! am told will not carry the re-
peal. Did | not carry emancipation against the
most cunning minister England ever had-Sir Rob
ert Peel-and against the greatest general she ever
had-the Duke of Wellington, loud cheers.)
In spite of them carried it: in spite of them, III
carry the repeal. (Renewed and enthusiastic cheer
ing) Having tried force and fraud, they then used
the legal dexterity of the judge, whom somebody
compared to can with handle at one side--the
can of justice (Great aughter,) Having tried
everything else, they now try cunning 1t is well
they are come to that "a laugh.) Up gets Sir
Robert Peel and says: These rerealers are terrific
fellows. America is threatening little and must
send message Of peace TO these repeaers and H be Sc
cure If he is at peace with Ireland, he may be at
war with the rest of the world. The Duke of We'll
lngon says: As to the repealers, they pitiful
set OF sneakIng creatures there is no danger in them
| no pluck and while have my iron heel on their
necks, I'll keep them down. How much down, to
be sure But they gave us the Maynooth grant
three farthings apiece it comes to. (Great laugh

his strength in the House of Commons, and the
Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords; and
they throw charity at you, as you would throw
bone to poor NANCY dog. But III tell you who is
governing the governors--we ourselves and one
Daniel O'Connell. (Chsers.) A few months will
