THE PRESENT POSITION OF THE DISPUTE.
Instead Of being the first thing finally disposed Of
after the Easter Holidays, this allsbsorbing, aldis
turbng Ecclesiastical Titles" Bill, after successive
postponements, is to come tonight, if there is
time but as there will not be time, on Monday night.
In imitation OF the tactics suggested by Shell when
the Emancipation was sought for, on Sunday next
there are TO be simultaneous meetings to petition
aranst any and every interference with the eccesas-
fical ARRANGEMENTS OF the Roman Catholic Church,
whether IN communication with Rome, hleraTch"
cal arrangements, conyentudl establishments, or
the Education OF Youth SO, by the time there will
be vote OF the House of Commons TO go into Com
mttee-in order to decide whether the preference
shall be given to Lord John Russelps measure, an
nung all titles taken from any localities IN the Uni
ted Kingdom-or 10 Spencer Towards, which pro-
hbits all intercourse with Rome IN the form OF re-
ceiving or publishing Bulls or rescrpts, the assump-
lion Of titles, penalty OF fine and Punishment, and
the prosecution TO be by the common informer, and
the cOnfscaton Of all gifts, requests trusts and the
like, that would imply the recognition OF Episcopal
Titles or Sharman CrawioTd's that would exempt
Ireland from the operation OF any legislative enact
ment as the offence that awakened the PremleT's
ire extended only to England-all Ireland Bishops,
Priests and People, counties, cities and parishes,
will have declared against any legislation at all that
would place the Catholics Of the Empire In ecce-
sastcal position worse by one lO or utle than that
Of their felow-sublects
There were first Of all, county meetings and meet
ings OF the cities and large towns then meeting of
the Catholics of Dublin followed by an aggregate"
meeting, representing Ireland al large and now, on
Sunday next every parish holds its meeting. The
substance Of the petitions from them all Is the same
A., are loyal love the Queen the Constitution their
tney So, "''t they are Catholics, firm and resolved
tbsv viii stand by he Pope and their Bishops their
religious institutions and nVy women ana they re-
cognize no right in Parliament or government 10 IN
terfcre in their affairs that purely spiritual and
ecclesiastical. They Will "render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" but they VIII also render
INTO God the things that are Gods" This country,
thus and the Government are in direct antagOnSm
upon this question and all the subjects II draws after
it, cannot, of course, toresee the issue whether
the bill viii pass In any OF It's .modihcations, or DC
withdrawn, or fall through by some lucky chance or
whether the amendments which the Irish band have
prepared, submitted TO profound lawyers and the
Bishops, but which they keep secret TIL the critical
hour comes for proposing them, and which, l. Sald
would go to egslze the hierarchy and other instu-
tons but in less obnoxious form than that adopted
by Cardinal Wlseman, may succeed IN carrying con-
picion 10 the parliamentary mlnd alter the demon
Etration Of the nations determination or whether
the Commons, the Lords and the Queen, Will perse-
we're, and If they do, what are to be the results.
Meantime, this Is the form in which the subject Is
put before the people and IN which the people regard
IL Primate Cullen, IN his Pastoral Tor THIS month";
says; "You arc aware that you are now threatened
with the sword OF persecution that your hierhchyls
10 be sgmazed and crushed the free exercise OF the
authority of the Holy See interrupted, the ministry
through which YOU impart the word oil lie ana the
sacramentS of religion 10 be paray1ed ana lelered,
your charitable establishments devoted to rum, your
Sonyents subjected TO an nQuiSitorial visitation, and
the solemn and imperative duty OF the Church, IN
guarding her children against the greyous and mtrn-
kc dangers Of pernciOus systems of education TO be
adiudged n criminal interference with civil rights,
calling for the lnflctlOn OF aycnglne penalties III
ahe hin becomes law which carries such consequences
II is impossible for me TO guess what the Prlmate VIII
recommendtO avert them.
OTHER NATTERs-DONE, NOT DONE, TO BE DONE.
The word having gone forth, that no cooperation
can be maintained with government so adverse TO
the peoples religion, confidence IN it, educational
institutions no faith reposed in any thing emanaing

with the Catholic youth of Ireland that II Will great

ger doubtful. In like manner that the purely CdthO
lie schools Of the Christian Brothers, Converts &C.
will carry away the children from the National
Schools, is evident though not 10 the same extent,
for the priests have established system of nstruc-
ton IN Catholic principles, at the hours for separate
Instruction. IN all the schools which are attended BY
Catholic children. and IN most OF the schools IN Ca
tholc districts, the masters are Roman Catholics
But the extension of the National Schools into new
and Catholic districts Will be prevented. The pa.
