CABINET.
PROBABLE DEFEAT OF THE CABINET ON TIE
EDUCATIONAL QUESTION IN IRELAND-EF-
FECT or THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON TIE FL
NANCEs.
LONDON, Monday, April %, 1871
The Daily Ne,cs to-day states that It is possible that
before the close of the next week the present Glad
stone Cabinet will be dissolved and be succeeded by
a Conservative Ministry. and that general election
for members OF Parliament VIII take place during
the latter part of the Summer. The Aelcs also says
il is certain the Government viii be defeated IN the
House Of Commons when division occurs On Mr..
Fawcetts bill relative 10 the University Of Dublin,
which has been made a Cabinet question
Two theories are advanced concerning the poht-
ica prediction in The Nacs of this morning. The
one is that the Ministry will really resign If de-
feated on Mr. Fawcetts Dublin University bill; the
other is. that this announcement has been gwen
ou. for the purpose of filing the Liberal benches at
the session tonight. The announcement that the
dissolution of the Ministry was possible has Hat
tened the financial market. A meeting of the Privy
Council was held at Windsor Castle to-day Her
Majesty the Queen presided The members OF the
Cabinet we're present.
An ALLEGED COMPROMISE.

Catholic nversity in Ireland This Will satisfy the

i TIE CAUSES WHICH ENDASGER THE POSITION
OF THE CABINET.
The action of the British Cabinet upon the
bin re Atiye 10 the University OF Dublin Ii another EVIL
deuce OF tle of decision which has characterized
Mr Gladstone several important questions. IiInity
College which is really the University Of Dublin, was
frtafr ffIlVn
of tie Protestant religion. In 1872 1t departed
10 certain extent from its exclusive character anu
allowed Roman Catholics 10 be admitted 10 the course
OF instruction and to take degrees Nevcrtheles thaC
class still remains excluded from competition Tor inc
highest prres and the goyernme Mt OF the inslu-
ton by tests which leave none eligible Dut members oI
the late Irkh Church. Upon the dsestaDishment OF
tat Church the excuse tor these restrictions ceased
This was readily conceded by the authorities OF the
institution and they agreed 10 an Arrangement oy "lou
greater latitude should exist than either at OA4ou VI
cambridge bill accordingly drafted 70 meet 'Ae
views OF the authorities by Mr.. Henry Fawcett' Member
Of Par lament Brighton, Liberal OF eonsideraoe
dstlc ion who was educated at Kings College London
and TRINITY Hail. Cambridge, and who, IN L5,j' was
elected Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge

SHIRE IN the government AS regarded the first OBJECT,
the bill would be complete and instantaneous III It's
operation; it was in this respect, far more compete
AMI Elective measure than the University Test Aet
passed for oxford and Cambridge With regard 10 tAe
second object the University and the College had pre-
you,y been governed by board consisting o the ITO
vost and senior Fellows; he proposed TO INTRO
duce 4 representative character intO both College
and University, and that both saouid nc
governed by representatives from tie junior Fellows
from the Professors, ana from the graduates IL was
said tbat this plan would not admit az once due pop"
ton q Catholics and OF Pesbyterazs 70 share IN tne
government but Mr.. FIwcettsaid religious inequality
hat existed for centuries and 1t wac Impossible I'M
ucdiately to eGace al its traces.
Ito essential point OF this plan is that 1t VIII perpet
uaie the system OF mixed education IL Ireiahd' bu'

maiorty Of beral-minded men, s the 5tumDhhgD DiocK

clauses OF the bill which abolish tests and Acknowledges
them s a useful and welgy REFORM but he refuses 10
.cept the bill a. afford NJ any settlement Of the UhiVcr
st queson in Ireland denying that the establishment
of stem Of mixed education can be regarded as s"I'
ing the question OF Irish education In ths DIT Gad
stone ha been represented as being Wiling that TRINITY
College should accept the results OF DisesiaOlsneIt ~
Voluntarily surrenderns all exclusive privileges Dut
he will give guarantee that the opec1
for which this frank offer has been made
shall be secured When NJ. Favcett, about month
a,, moved that his bill should be read n second tme
NJ Gladstone said he would vote FOR the abolition ofthe
tcst but he distinctly declared himself against the
r.ucipe OF the BILL which, az MI. fawceU
asserted. is afording State aid solely TO united
educatiou SIR. Gladstone then recalled MS
pedges. which have made 50 wide a breach

lee secular education throughout the United King

Ell. m extreme hardship that portion OF the pOpuI-
,,o f Ir Land who choose 10 accept an education
from religion that they should have no University

This was a virtual recognition OF the demand oi the
Roman Caholcs for separate educational institutions
and WIS consistent with the OF the Government
ON the educational questions III England and Scotland
Consequently, the detection of the Nonconformlsts,
which was anticipated the Scotch Education bill OF
the Government could scarcely be expected TO remain
orat when the failed 20 conform 10 their
requirements on the question Of Education Ia Ireland
thonch the foregoing dispatches are somewhat vague
in their tenor il may be pretty safely assumed that 1t
~ surh a detection of the SOnconformists from the
Liberal ranks as il indicated that has endangered
