WELLINGTON.

March -lth, 1875. In my last letter to you I staled tliat four clergymen ■were expected from home, and now I am in a position to inform you that they havo arrived, and are stationed as under : — Father Muhoney in Nelson, to replace Father Bensfield ; Father Carew in Napier, to" replace Father G-uolenoire ; FatLcr Kirk ab Wauganui, to replace Father Tresalleb, who is going to Sidney. Father McOaughoy, jwho has been ab the Hutt for some back, is on a visit to Christchurch for the good of liis health. Father Yarden is in Wellington a3 Vicar-G oneral, as Father Forrest his gone back again to Napier. Father Ivearney, -who was expected to hare gone to Nelson, has boon kept in Wellington, and no clergyman has been sent as yeb to assist Father O'Kieily. His Lordship has been visiting his Diocese almost since his arrival ; he goes south to-day to Christchurch. Some very valuable property has been lately purchased by the (Jhurch, including a very valuable allol - ment in the District Te Aro for the Convent School, and a section adjoining the Cathedral at the east side as the site ox a residcuco for His Lordship, cai-h of which cost exactly £900. Captain Sharp and Mrs Sharp are going on a tour to the old land, and ai*e taking passage via San Francisco by the next boat. I understand Mrs. Sharp is to be presented "with an address and presentation before she leaves, aJid 1 have no doubt, judgingj udging from bho committee Avho have taken it iv hand, that it will not be unworthy oL' her. Mrs. Sharp is bo well known that it would be out of place for me to refer to any of her^sorviees to tho Catholics of Wellington, and particularly of Te Aro. On. her arrival iv Dublin she is to send somo valuable prizes out to St. Joseph's School, to be competed for nest Christinas.
