The latest news from England brings another
speech from from the British Premier, and the |
passage fthe Maynooth Grant Bill, for the endOw-
,ment Of a Catholic College in ireland. We quote
a few passages from this Speech: - .,-s.
"He denied that ministers had consulted with
any of the political leaders or clergy OF Ireland
nor had ministers ever entered into any negotiations
with the Pope, relatiyeto this grant; neither was
the grant any part Of general system for the en-
doWme Bit Of the Catholic churchI although he tSlF
Roberi would not fetier ministers by pledge not
to propose the endowment of The Roman Catholic
clergy he would make no such declaration, but he
wished honorable gentlemen to draw no unfair IN
ferenees from bis refusal to commit himself by
such pledge: He considered the permanent en-
dowment Of Mayneolh College, just tO.the Roman
Catholics Of Ireland. 1t would produce kindly
feeling in Ireland, among the PeoPle--f would

say, without hesitation. you must break up that,
formidable confederacy which exists in that coun-
try against the British connection. And believe
it is essential you should break up in order that
you may carry on the work of good government in
Ireland, ECheers, and that you may strengthen the
connection between the two countries, and main

premier resumed his seat about three O'Clock in the
morning, amid thunders of applause which lasted
several minutes."]
! MIR. O Connell considers this grant for the Cath
olc College as triumph for Ireland land tells Sir
Robert Peel to ego on in the same way, and WE
will set the Americans at defiance" There is
a deep meaning ia all this. In l778, when
England was engaged in the attempt to subjugate
these Colonies, she made important concessions to
Ireland; and now, when she has her eye on Oregon
and Texas, and expects to fight Us for one or both
of them, she turns to the great work of conciliat-
ing Ireland, by endowing Cltholie establishments.
And she has had her answer. OConneli aPpa-
rently accepts the bargain and tells her to L" go
ON" We shall see how his bargain will be car
rird out.
