THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.

LONDON, Saturday Sept 1869.
The Marquis of Harrington, in speech at the
Cutters banquet at Sheffield last night said The
task for the ensuing session of Parliament would be
the settlement of the Irish land question He hoped
the subject would be debated with little political
feeling as possible 1t had never been the battle
ground of party. Men were comparatively unpledged,
and statesmen of various opinions showed an honest
disposition to grapple with the difficulties surround
ing this matter.
CARDINAL CULLEN's PASTORAL.
The London Times comments as follows on Cardinal
Cuen's last pastoral and on the claims put forth by
the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland; They de-
mand the overthrow of common education. and the
exaltation of denomlnationalism. The language OF
Archbishop Cullen must provoke resentment. The
pretensions of the Catholic hierarchy toward the
State are intolerabe. There is not of their re-
solves on education which the people will not EN-
phatioally repudiate and which, if brought before
Parliament, will not be rejected. The lesson of the
past two years seems lost on these prelates. They
have not understood how proposal of great moder-
alton and acknowledged wisdom proved abortive last
session through the profound antipathy of Parlia-
ment 10 applying public money TO Catholic uses.
The present proposals about as hopeless as any
that could be propounded. England and Scotland
will not listen to them. Even i'll Ireland they Will
not command the assent of classes interested in
higher education, and in Parliament they would be
mentioned only TO be condemned"

Mr.. William Hewitt writes to The London hers to-
day on the Byron scandal. He says there lis little

representations backed up in some Odious story He
traces the conduct of the wife in buying up the
husbands memoir and destroying It, and asks If the
,r;5apon Of ha Marty the evidence of
opponent can be accepted. The same act of depriv-
ing Byron of the opportunity for self-iushhcatlon
deprived the wife of the right to advance fresh
charges The writer feels certain that this VIII be
