WELLINGTON. July 22.
Last night Father Honnebory addressed ft crowded congregation in the Catholic Cathedral, when he emphatically denied haying made tho statement that mixed marriages vrere no marriages at all, and characterised the accusation as a base and wicked falsehood. After the service he referred to tho expenses incurred in renovating the Cathedral, and then told thoso who wore willing to subscribe towards defraying the same to stand up, when the whole congregation stopd up en masse. Father Honnobory and threo priests then went amongst tho Eeople, and shortly announcod that LIIQO ad been subscribed. The pockets of tho waistcoat belonging to O'Connor, lately convicted of attempting to poison Light, the publican, have been analysed by Dr Hector, and found to contain poison. A meeting has been called by the Mayor for this evening with the object of petitioning the Government to mitigato O'Connor's sontence, but this will probably now collapse. A sharp shook of earthquake occurred here at 11.40 on Saturday night.
