WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) During the past week the Rev Father Cummins visited the couniry districts On his return he received a letter from Mr Graham, Secret tary to the Education Board, embodying resolutions in reference'CdP Catholic Schools. These we give elsewhere. To this letter the ReT Father Cummins replied that he had surrendered St. Joseph's SchooTto the Rev Father O'Reilly, it being in the rev gentleman's parish, that he had sent him the letter, and had requested him to answer it as he might judge proper. The resolutions of ths Board to his (Father Cummins') mind, implied a departure from the promises made by the Board to Dr Grace and the Catholic Committee, and an insult to the Catholic community, if not moreover a violation of honor. With refereuce to St Philomena's School, he would leave the matter to be considered by the Catholic Committee, to whom the Board pledged themselves in honor to recognise Convent Schools, and accept them without further restrictions. How long will the public be blind to its own interests, and not be led away by a clique ?
