of the Church ou matters relative to
carriage, as also ali competent ecclesiasti
cs 1 tribunals on the subject. It has also
promulgate*! a law on education which
suppresses all the influence of the
Church over education, decreeing that
the whole superior supervision of educa
tion, literature, and science, as also the
inspection of schools, appertains to the
state, which finally decrees that, religious
teaching in the public schools must be
placed in the hands of members of each
separate confession ; that any religions
society may open private or special
schools for the youth of its faith; that
those schools shall also be subject to the
supreme inspection of the State, and that
the school books shall he submitted to the
approval of the civil authorities ; with the
exception, however, of such books as are
meant for religious instruction, books
which must be submitted to the approval
of the competent authorities of each con
fession. You see, consequently, venerable
brethren, how necessary it is to strongly
reprove and condemn those abominable
laws sanctioned by the Austrian Govern
ment —laws which are in flagrant contra
diction with the doctrines of the Catholic
religion; with its venerable rights, its
authority, and its divine institutions; with
our power and that of the Apostolic See,
as also with our concordat already quoted,
and with natural right itself. In virtue,
then, of the care of all churches entrusted
to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, we raise
our voice in your most illustrious assem
bly; we reprove, and we condemn, by our
Apostolic authority, the laws which we
have enumerated, and everything, general
or special, in those same laws, or in mat
ters which refer to ecclesiastical right
which has been decreed or attempted
unjustly, in any manner whatsoever, by
the Austrian Government, or its subordi
nates, whomsoever they may be. In
virtue of this same authority, which ap
pertains to us, we declare those decrees
null and powerless in themselves, and in
their eflect, both as regards the present
and the future. As regards the authors
of those laws, especially those who con
gratulate themselves on being Catholics,
and have not feared to propose, establish,
approve, and carry out the above laws
and acts, we conjure and entreat them
not to forget the censures and spiritual
punishments which the ecclesiastical
institutions and the decrees of the
oecumenical councils inflict, as having
been deserved in ipso facto by the violators
of the rights of the Church. Meantime,
we rejoice greatly in the Lord, and we
give our well-deserved praise to our
venerable brothers, the Archbishops and
Bishops of the Austrian Empire, who,
with truly episcopal energy, have not
ceased to warn their flocks of their duties
boldiv to defend and protect, by speech,
as well as writing, the cause of the Church
and the said concordat, concluded with us.
We also desire from our hearts that our
venerable brothers, the Archbishops and
Bishops of Hungary, following the sample
of their colleagues, will show themselves
disposed to display the same zeal and the
same ardor to protect the rights of the
Church and defend the said concordat
against the attacks which are directed
against it. Nevertheless, under these
calamities which, in these sad times,
afflict the Church everywhere, we do not
cease, venerable brothers, with the deepest
fervor and humility of heart to pray God
that He may upset all the criminal
designs of His enemies and those of His
holy Church, suppress their impious
efforts,and, in Ilis mercy, lead them back
into the paths of justice and salvation.

A Ffnian Placard. —Athlone, Sun
day.—A Fenian placard of a full sheet,
closely printed with large and small
type, dated Dublin, 24th April, IS6S,
was found posted up on the dispensary
wall this morning, adjoining St. Mary’s
Catholic cathedral in this town. On the
congregation going and coining out from
Mass, hundreds congregated round to get
a glimpse of the seditious production. It
commenced with an advice to the people
of Ireland how to act when their services
would be required by their gallant breth
ren now in arms in America, and advises
them to be fully prepared to meet them
at every seaport and district in Ireland,
for as sure as the sun shines from the
high heavens they will come to Ireland,
and that before the expiration of 1858,
and will wring Ireland from the yoke of
English lyaanny at any cost, even at the
cost of their lives. It also states that
they have arms and ammunition in abund
ance, and that they can have an army of
2u0,000 fighting men, who are anxiously
waiting for the word “to fall in and
march.” This seditious placard also re
fers to the execution of Allen, O’Brien,
and Larkin, in Manchester, and mentions
the “cold-blooded butchery’’ that was
enacted upon Barrett, and terms the
“British Government the bloodthirsty
butchers of all the world.” In another
paragraph it relates to the gallant rescue
of Captain Deasy and Colonel Kelly,
and praises the Irishmen who are residing
in England for assisting them in effecting
their escape “from the prison slaughter
houses of England.”— Freeman.
The Regium Donum — The Pall Mall
Gazette says : “The Regiuni Donum ,
concerning which there has been much
discussion lately, is an expression of a
puzzing description to many good people
who do not understand the nature of this
annual grant to the Presbyterian body in
Ireland. Many Irishmen look upon it as
a bribe given to Ulster, and Tom Moore
wrote of it:—
“Not forgettin that other great wonder of Airin,
The fam’d Daddy Cook who, by Gor! I’d have shown
’em,
As proof how how such bastes may be tam’d when
you’ve thrown ’em,
A good friendly sop of the Itagium Donem.”
The grant was first made in 1672
when Charles 11. gave £6OO for the Pres
byterian ministers in Ireland as a reward
for their loyalty; and as that sum remain
ed undisposed of in the settlement of the
revenues of Ireland, George I. increased
the grant, and placed it on the list of an
nual votes from Parliament congrega
tions in Ireland/’
Great Funeral Demonstrations in
Limerick. —The remains of a true Irish
man, named James Stenson, whose
death resulted from a lenghthened incar
ceration in the county of Limerick jail,
where he was confined under the Habeas
Corpus Suspension Act (and where the
most fiendish regime of jail rules ever
made have been carried out against the
hapless victims of English misrule, who
have, from time to time, got into the tender
keeping of its officials), were conveyed on
Sunday last to St. Lawrence’s Catholic
Cemetery, near this city, and notwith
standing the heavy and constant down
pour of rain which lasted throughout the
evening and delayed the funeral till a late
hour, the cortege comprised nearly two
thousand people (which I am informed,
would have been increesed to ten thou
sand but for the incessant heavy rain
falling). Many of the mourners wore
green neckties, and others carried laurel
branches in their hands, and from several
windows in the old town, which were filled
with spectators, green flags draped with
black were suspended, and the Treaty
Stone, in the vicinity of where the de
ceased lived, at Thomondgate, was cov
ered with a black pall. The procession
was headed by the society of Odd Fel
lows, of which lie was a member ; and
although there was a hearse and four
horses in the line, the coffin, strewed with
laurels and flowers, was borne behind it
on men’s shoulders as a mark of respect
and love for the memory of the deceased.
To such an extent did their love for the
decased, who was looked upon as a mar
tyr to his country, carry them, that, at
one time, when the coffin was being
borne into the cemetery, a general rush
was made to it by the procession, each
one more anxious than another to bear
it; but all could not have that privilege,
and as many men as could, numbering
fourteen or fifteen, got under it and proud
ly but mournfully bore the remains to its
last resting place. The Printers’Society
followed as mourners, and the rear was
brought up by over cue thousand young
men, walking three and four deep, wear
ing crape. flflie flagways were also oc
cupied by processionists, principally young
women, who were not debarred by the
inclemency of the weather from joining
in the mournful cortege. The burial
service having been performed, the cof
fin was committed to the earth amid the
silent prayers and tears of the surrounding
crowd. A wife and four young children,
totally unprovided for, remain to mourn
the untimely demise of a good husband
and a fond father.—May lie rest in peace*
PARLIAMENTARY.
The Irish Land Question. —In the
House of Commons, ou Monday night,
the Earl of Mayo, in reply to Sir C.
O’Loghlen, said that it was the intention
of the Government to issue a Koval
Commission to inquire into the tenure
and occupation of lands in Ireland, but
as the Government desired to place on
that eommiss'oi some members of both
Houses of Parliament, it would be impos
sible, with regard to their convenience, to
issue the commission before the end of the
session. Os course not. It is always
impossible “with regard to their conveni
ences,” for the English Government to
attend to any matter likely to serve Ire
land, except, of course, when a Coercion
Bill or an Arms Act is to be passed.
Then, indeed, they are the reverse of
dilator}’. Blessed are they who expect
nothing, for they are rarely disappointed;
and we are ot those who expect no prac
tical benefit to the Irish tenant farmers
from this long promised and long-delay
ed commission.
The Irish Reform B:ll.—On the re-J
Musis oi an isiia
port of the amendments in the Represen
tation of the People (Ireland) Bill. Dr.*
Brady complained of the manner in which
Sir John Gray had taken his motion in
favor of the ballot in Ireland out of his
hands. He bad given a pledge not to
bring it on after the 12th of October,
and the Prime Minister had offered to
give him an opportunity of doing so on
the report. He had since received a most
satifactory explanation from the lion, mem
ber. Air, O'Beirne recorded his extreme
dissatisfaction at the shape in which the
bill had emerged from the committee. It
was in every feature totally inadequate
it was a mere mockery, and would
never be accepted by the Irish people as
a fair measure of reform, Mr. Bagwell
commented on the inadequacy of the bill.
The Irish members had sat night after
night to make the English and bills
worthy of those countries, but when
theirs came on, and they desired to make
the bill worthy of Ireland by reducing the
county franchise, they were deliberately
and basely deserted by their Liberal
friends. (Os course they were.) Sir
Col man O’Loghlen regaetted the failure
of the attempt to reduce the county fran
chise, to abolish the freemen, and to
establish the ballot. Sir John Gray ex
pressed similar opinions. Mr. Reardon
moved the insertion of a clause reducing
the county franchise to £6, and the
borough franchise to £3. Mr. Vance
moved to extend the residence of the
electors of the City of Dublin to 12 miles.
The clause was opposed by Mr. Glad
stone, Sir John Gray, Mr. Esmonde, Mr.
Monsell, Sergeant Barry, and Mr. Cogan,
and was supported by Colonel Bernard,
Mr. Pim, and Sir A. Guinness. Mr.
Gregory moved the adjournment of the
debate. Mr. Disraeli admitted that there
was much to be said on both sides of the
question, and the honorable member was
quite justified in bringing it forward, but,
on the whole, it was not expedient to
press it. Mr. Vance withdrew the
clause. Sir F. Heygate moved a clause
giving a vote to freeholders and lease
holders, &c., in boroughs the same as in
counties. The clause was opposed by
Sir C. O’Loghlen, Sir P. O’Brien, Mr.
Cardwell, and Mr. Gladstone, while Mr.
Disraeli, on the part of the Government,
accepted it. Sergeant Barry moved the
adjournment of the debate, which was
negatived by a majority of 198 to 156.
Mr. Pim moved the adjournment of the
House, but Sir. F. Heygate withdrew the
clause. The report was then agreed to,
and the Bill ordered to be read a third
time on Thursday.
The Suspensory Bill.— ln the House
of Lords, on Tuesday night, Lord Pen
ryn called attention to the fact that the
Lord Chancellor and Earl Grey had both
given notice of their intention to move
the rejection of the bill for the disestab
lishment of the Irish Church, on Thurs
day, and asked which noble lord would
take precedence. The Earl Malmsbury
said her Majesty’s Government were ex
tremely anxious to follow the noble lord
■who would move the two readings of the
bill. The question was of the" highest
magnitude and importance, and it ought
to be noticed and treated by the Govern
ment as soon as possible. The usual cus
tom in their lordships’House was for the
Government to take precedence, and he
had written to Earl Grey asking him to
give way, but he was sorry to add with
out any effect at all (a laugh). Lord
Grey still persevered in his intention of
moving the amendment, and that being
the case he (Lord Malmesbury,) should
think it unnecessary and unseemly if the
Government were to attempt, in any way
to test the wishes of the House as to
which should have precedence. He
should therefore give way to Lord Grey,
and concluded that, on Thursday night
the noble lord would proceed to move the
amendment.
