He was mot at tho station by a large > concourse, and a procession was formed to . the cathedral. Hero addresses were pre- | sontod, and in addition a purse containing 700 Bovoreignß. In returning thanks, Bishop , Moran referred to hia visit to Rome. He said Ireland had no better friend than tho Pope. As to tho presentation, he would acoept it, but wonld not use a penny for hii i personal use. He announced tbat tho Pope i had been pleased to raise the Yon. Arohi deacon Coleman to the first rank of prelates, 1 and henceforth ho wonld bo called the Bight i Rev. Moneignor Coleman. In the course of his remarks to-night, Bishop Moran expressed surprise at the i extent of tho Exhibition Building, of wbioh ' ho had Beoured a glimpse iv paßsiog. Referi ring to the Private Sobools Bill bofore tho 1 last Parliament, ho said ho was glad to i observe that it had been supported by 1 scholars, statesmen, and men of sense in the ' House, who had shown themselves on the Bide of justice. This he considered a good ' omen, and from it he thought it might fairly > angur that the day of buccoss was not far away. Be that as it may, however, their duty was clear to continue the eduoation of their young, and whatever Parliament might do, they should go on until every Catholio child in the diocese was at a Catholio eohool.
