      ligious equality in the eye of the law , and will not willingly tolerate in any religious denomination civil power , preeminence , or ascendancy over any other . " 2 nd . That the settlement of the Church question on the basis of perfect equality is essential to the establishment of that entire equality , civil and religious , which alone can or ought to produce content . " 3 rd , That the present Irish church establishment is at once a badge of conquest and a legalized robbery of the Catholic population , which—while . it insults and wrongs the people—convulses society , and impresses the Catholic people with a belief that the legislature which sanctions its continuance is hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom .

      " 4 . That all laws which impose penalties on the ecclesiastics of any church , or prohibit the performance of spiritual functions , or the exercise of ecclesiastical rights , order , or jurisdiction , are inconsistent with the constitution of these realms , or require peculiar oaths or tests from the members of any religious persuasion , practically declare the parties affected thereby to be inferior in the eye of the law to their fellow subjects , and ought to be at once absolutely and unconditionally repealed . " 5 . That religious equality is inconsistent with the exclusion from public offices of any subject of the crown because of his religious faith , and that all such exclusions should be at once abolished .

      " 6 . That we consider it the special duty of the Irish liberal members of Parliament to urge upon the attention of the legislature at all convenient times the grievances endured by the poor and friendless Catholics in all parts of this empire , so far as these grievances depend upon bad laws , or a bad administration of them ; and that in order to enable members of Parliament efficiently to discharge their duty in these matters , we respectfully request of the Catholic bishops and clergy at home in Great Britain and in the colonies , to supply , at their earliest convenience , tho statistical and other information , without which it will be impossible to have the claims of these unprotected classes adequately laid before Parliament .

      BELGIUM , CUBA , AND TURKEY . In three quarters of the world , all of them important as turning points of action for the future , the British Government is understood to have taken up a position ; and , as usual with our present Administration , that position is precisely the one which should not be taken . For Cuba , as we might have expected , the report is , that the English Government has actually given assurance to Spain that she will be supported . This report has been put in circulation before , but it is now accompanied by the further

      intimation , that Spain herself would view a war without dissatisfaction . On what ground she could be prepared for so expensive a sport , we cannot at first understand ; but it may be supposed that by any general commotion—and almost any commotion in Europe , just now , must be general—Spain may hope to obtain guarantees for the maintenance of her present system , which she is unable to obtain by any power of her own . That England should be on the side of old , decayed Spain , and against the United States , would be a calamity ; and if the report should have in it any shadow of truth , the public ought , as soon as possible , to repudiate both the position and the Cabinet that has occasioned it . Every

      fresh difficulty in the United States only concentrates and strengthens the purpose which has been moving the people of that ltepublic ; and in the last accounts , we notice that shrewd politicians who have hitherto been undecided , like the New York Herald , the Times of America , are now obliged to fall in with the sentiment of the day— " Cuba must be ours , and at once . " It is not to be expected that the United States will stop in the course thus declared . The Government at Washington cannot prevent it ; diplomatic objections will be brushed away like straw ; and if England should attempt to interfere , the sole residuum for us will be the worst hostility that can befal us .

      Nearer homo , there ia another quarter on which tho politics of Europe turn ,- Belgium . When Uelgium was made into sin independent kingdom , her neutrality was guaranteed by the principal powers of Europe . Thai ; neutrality is now invaded by a coercive " recommendation " from those powors , — so says ilio jMomiiHf Post , " to make it a nine-qud-nou . in the formation of a now Government , that it shall present to the Chambers si . Hill to impose souks restraint upon the licentiousnesH of the Belgium press in its

      expression of opinion with reu / renco to foreign suid friendly states . " 1 n other words , King Leopold is coerced into imposing a , condition upon any new Cabinet , Liberal or otherwise , thsil , it shall restrain criticism on Krcnchor Auslrisin politics ; and the same authority which we have silrcsidy quoted , announces that the British Government ; has talicn part in this recommendation ! Lord Mahnesbury and his " mliinnte friend" sire in n , compact alliance , therefore , with the despotic powers . It in promotion , perhaps , for Louis . Napoleon to siltain that , position ; but thai . Kng-Isuid should help him to it , and place herself Uy his side , is a degradation to the country .

      The third pivot , of politics , whieh is just now sensible of great , agitation , is Turkey . The Banlc , whieh in ; unta , ine < l a . Kind of seini-oflicial allianco with the State , had received supreme aiithority to contract , a ' <»• " of f >(> , <>()< ) , < KM > piastres , which , reduced to English denominations , would ho sibout , half a million . 'Vho guarantee , indeed , was due to the credit of the Bank , the Government having used that establishment as a . rough mode of supplies for an exchequer bankrupfc under the most lavish expenditure . But thin loan was to be obtained in the markets of Parin and London , and wuh negotiated at the instance
