The Bishop of Lincoln and FSUe Hundred

of Lincoln, in England, aud five hundred
priests. have sent to DR.. DolliDger synod

" five hundred priests" are only Anglican
clergymen evidently with the desire to |
produce the impression that aACathol!c
Bishop. with large number of Catholic
ecclesiastics has enlisted in the ranks OF
the schism. This is amusing enough, bat
it is not the only side Of theincident: We
frequently hear it pleaded that Anglicans,
as such, have never been expressly and
formally communicated by the Holy See
and the Catholic Church. DIR. Wordsworth

The Education Leasse.-.The agitation in
to become . serious danger to Government.
The party Of tyrannical seculurists who
are bent on imposing their wishes on the
country, are credited with q great deal OF
wild talk, and with an intention OF calling
ION their representatives in Parliament to
walk out of the House on the first crucial
division for the purpose of throwing Minis
! ters out. Whether they expect to crush
denominationalism under the auspices OF
Mr.. Disrae1i, or to force Mr.. Gladstone, In
opposition, to consent to a policy wn,ch ne

know. We rather sincline to think that
their attitude is one of unreasoning fanati-
cism rather than cool calculation. how
ever, it is clear that; in the words of the
Times, 4sthe Education Question ia begin
ming all over again, or rather has never
been closed" We know what we have to
expect. Several of the speakers at Bir-
mingham admitted that one of their prin-
cipal motives was resolve TO resist the
demands of Ireland in the matter OF educa-
ton. And it was asserted that England
would never be satisfied until education
was completely uDsectarlan and compui-
sorry, and at the same time feligions-that
is to say, that religion should be taught,
but in such q manner as to be acceptable
to the Nonconformists. One speaker let
the cat out of the bag. They had hoped,
lie said, for measure which would give
such a religious education to the children
of poor Catholics and Anglicans as would
, raise them to a level which their parents
F had not been able to reach. The speaker
