FROM the New York Herold we learn
that the plans for the great National Oath
olic University are TO be decided upon at
a meeting of the prelates, to be held on
the 11th OF November next, and in the
meanwhile Bishop Spalding, OF Peoria,
will issue circular letter fully explaining
the entire purposes of the new university,
which will be addressed to the faithful
throughout the United States An appeal
for aid will probably form It Of this
circular, although. as it is well avn, the
funds on hand, which consistoi rs Cald-
wells original endowment of $780, 900 and
other subscriptions, reach nearly $500, 900,
This money pays for the site and the
buildings which are TO be erected st once,
Further aid win be necessary to endow the
several chairs, but the bishops are very
hopeful that Sl,0O0,C COO can be easily se-
cured for that purpose, and the university
be opened on an assured basis of pros
parity.
