The Late Bishop Luck.

Auckland, to day.

I'ather Madden, speaking of the lato Bishop Luck, said the fruits of his labors for the past 13 years had been devoted entirely to the diocese. The Cathedral had been freed from debt, and the romaiuder of his earthly belongings had now gone to benefit the diocese. Even the Bishop's own brother had received nothing but a chalice, and had even asked leave to take a photograph ot deceased. There -was not enough left to purchase ft headstone for the grave of the Bishop, who in his last testament appealed to the clergy to put a plate and simple cross over his grave to his memory. The Bishop had carried out the assurance he had given that he would leave the Cathedral free of debt, and tins had been done out of his own private means at a cost of £900. On Iho presbytery, however, there was still a debt of £1600, for Bishop Luck had thought it should be the duty of the congregation to pay this. Father Madden also announced that Archbishop Redwood had sent an intimation that owing to the death of Bishop Luck the election which had recently tauen place for Coadjutor-Bishop was vow of no avail, and a now election of a Bishop would have to be made.
