Sir George Grey on Tuesday struck a small coup d'etat,

at ,which the Carlton gnashes its teeth. Under circumstances ex- lained in another column, he offered the Irish Catholics the right f affiliating colleges of their own to the Queen's University. . Hennessy was not satisfied, but Mr.-O'Reilly, an Ultramontane, who obtained his own degree from the London University, instantly accepted the offer, and so did Sir George Bowyer, while the Irish Catholics out of the House appear delighted. They, however, add the further request that the examiners should be chosen without distinction of sect, which seems fair. The Orange party, moreover, are so irritated, that their wrath alone will secure hundreds of Liberal votes.
