BEKRYERAT The recent death of this

both as a lawyer, statesman, and Christian
has filed SO large space IN the public eye

= During the life of Berger his friends
formed themselves into Il society for the
purchase OF his valuable collection of
papers, as u preteXt for offering the old man
a sum sufficient to relieve him from the
pecuniary difficulties under which he was
then. laboring. The members Z, of this
society recently met for the purpose, of
celebrating as to the ultimate destination
of the documents in their care; whfcir are
of great historic value, consisting of all The
documents relating to the trial of Chateau
briHnd, Lamennais, Louis Napoleon Bona
parte, Dupin, etc. M. Berger had careful
~ preserved every letter addressed to him
from the year 1916. These he had scrupu-
lousy put in order according to their dates,
as well as the subject to which they
referred. The collection is complete, and
contained in eighty separate folios. The
society have unanimously elected Mr..
Charles de Lacombe, whose works have
been crowned by the Academy, as editor
of these interesting and important docu-
ments. He is also charged with the task of
compiling the life of Berger, for which
purpose his family have entrusted him
with all the private documents they possess
ed that could throw light on the subject.
The most singular revelations as to the
history of the past half century will thus
be made public. ..0

/ every day it becomes clearer that England,
after an agitation Of 80 years, Will voluntarily
undo, an Injustice SO long perpetrated. No
Orange demonstration can affect the success of
1.-THE measure. This scandal of the Irish Church
b1ishmept is at the root of the alienation
of Ireland. Its passage, is an. act of peace and
unity between jealous and disunited races
Justice may be often delayed, but not when
the nation is awake to u sense of denial"
L On the sane day the Lords had discussion
of considerable length. We give a synopsis:
After several different opinions on the subject,
the Earl of narrowly moved that the second
reading of the bill be postponed three months.
He opposed the bill as being revolutionary and
in direct violation of the corontstfon oath and
of the act of union. The circumstances were
insufficient to Justify its introduction, and the
| result would.be to diminish the number of Irish
Professionals. 1t was no act of justice. He
repudiated the idea that the proposed rejection
of the measure would be running counter to
the national will The sense of the country
had not been tested on the point, and he
believed the country was now earnestly lookin 6
and expecting the House of Lords to reject the
BILL. q, !, q " * ~. =, +
Lord Clarendon said he did not reciprocate
the feeling of the Earl of Harrowby, as to the
result of the bill. As a Protestant he sympa-
thised with his Catholic fellow ountrymen in
+, Ireland in the wrongful position in which they
| were placed. Indeed, he never felt it much
stronger than when he saw crowds kneeline
outside hovel; with q handsome parish church
Iciose by unattended. He believed that Ireland
was the question of the hour. tx - .---.-z
The Duke of Rutland opposed the bill
because it overthrow the right of property
violated the religion of the majority of the
people of the united Kingdom. and outraged
| the uOiOn of Church and State.
Lord Stratfort DeRedcliife objected to many
details of the bill, but warned the House not to
sacrifice the substance for the shadow. He be-
1ieved that the passage of the bill ash now
stood would result in irreparable injury to the
Church, and would not improve the condition
of Ireland. The relative positions of the two
Houses of Parliament, however, demanded the
second reading of the bill. After which the
Upper House could go to work and amend its
Objectionable features. ar
Lord Romilly regarded the idea that the bin
would prove the destruction of Professionalism
as n myth. 1t would only deprive the Crown
of the nomination of some Bishops. -
