P. J. Aylward as deacon, and the Rev J Stephens as sub-deacon. Dr. Moran came from New Zealand to assist at the installation of Bishop Reynolds, of Adelaide, as Arch ojsbop of the province of South Australia, which takes place to-morrow at Adelaide. Dr. Moraa will preach the sermon on the occasion. In the evening Vespers were chauted by the Very Ber. Dean Donaghy ; Archbishop Carr presiding in the sanctuary The sermon was preached by Dr. Moran, who took for his text the words Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all things else will follow " taken from the Gospel of the day. After the sermon benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament was given by Dr. Moran, assisted by Dean Donaghy. As we go to press we hare received a telegram from Timaru in which " Shamrock " hopes to see the movement re the testimonial to [ Bishop Moran taken up. " Sterling sons of Erin," he says, " will surely not allow snch a praiseworthy tribute to their patriot Bishop to pass." r I A ccobding to the latest cablegrams, the motion for the proclamation of the National League, which was passed in the House of Commons on August 19, was to the effect that the matter should be left to the discretion of the Irish executive, -to carry out partially or i completely as they should judge advisable.— We find, therefore, that I two hundred branches of the League have been suppressed in Clare, Galway, Kerry, Cork, and Waterford-the Government, not yet having summoned up" courage to deal with the organisation as a whole. By degrees, however, we may be sure that such will be done more or less apeedily.— The sense entertained by the authorities of the natural consequences of their proceedings is testified to by the fact that the Lord Lieutenant and Mr. Balfour are strongly guarded. Mr. Labouchere, meantime, follows up his defence of what was done by the people at Mitchelstown by recommending them to resißt in case the police attempt to interfere with orderly meetings. We see that the Education Board has refused to allow their Inspector to visit the Catholic School at West port. The refusal is something worse than churlish and displays a most discreditable spirit of hostility. The excuse given to the effect that the Inspector's time was already fully occupied is, of course, not worth a straw. But what is more, we doubt the legality of the refusal, as the Board are bound to see that every child in their district is receiving a sufficient education, not necessarily in the Government schools. The application made meantime, shows the confidence of the manager of the Westport Catholic school in the nature of the work that is being done under his supervision. At the prorogation of Parliament which took place on Friday, a hope was expressed in the Queen's speech that order would be restored and industry encouraged in Ireland by means of the Coercion Act. The respect we feel for her Majesty makes us rejoice tha^he is not personally accountable for the words Ministers put in* c* mouth, for more egregious nonsense than this was never heard. ± We see that New Zealand was represented at the consecration of the Bishop of Christchurch by Sir. Charles Clifford and his relative Mr. Young, who are especially mentioned as present at the ceremony. We take the following paragraph referring to the Bishop of Christchurch, from the London Universe ;— The Right Rev. John Grimes, S.M,, was born at Bromley-by-Bow 1842, and after preliminary studies entered the Society of Mary about the year 1860. Since his ordination to the priesthood the field of his labours has been very extensive. For some years he was Professor in the College at Dundalk ; then successively Professor and President of Jefferson College, Louisiana, U.S.A., and quite recently Superior of the Novitiate and Rector of the new parish of Paignton. near Torquay (Devonshire), in the diocese of Plymouth, where hia kindness and energetic efforts in behalf of this new mission won for him many friends who, whilst rejoicing in bis promotion to his present exalted position, will deeply regret his parting from amongst the r., and join heartily with us all in wishing him ad multos emnos in the new diocese which he has been called to govern; T.

The great piety, learning aad wisdom of hi 8 Grace, his zeal for holy religion, and hie devotion to the Holy See have given him the just and powerful infiuencs to whioh he has nndoubtedly attained. That his Grace the Archbishop of Tuam should be mentioned as the probable recipieat of further honours and dignities is rational, and takes no one by surprise. The fidelity of Wandtoß^thßdevofa of her children to the priest and to n£ 17 t I ' ln the Bpread ° f Whica ' in the New World lifc e the Old, the Irish race has so largely participated, give at the present day a prominence to Ireland among the nations. th* i he Gladßtonian tide in England is emphasised by the result of the election held the other day in the Northwich division o Cheshire. At the last preceding election there was a majority of f ° r Liberal-Union candidate, Mr. Verdin, lately deceased, over Mr. Brenner, Home Buler. Now Lord Henry Grosvenor, the Liberal-Uniomst nominee, is defeated by Mr. Brunner by 1,129. This change of MOO votes in a total poll of 9,000 ahows a heavier per centage of Gladstoaian gain than any recent result in parliamentary constituencies. There has been no check to the current of Home Bule success since the beginning of the elections for vacancies in the situng Parliament. For the past month there has been little reason minorit th R at Sf ß^' 8 MiDißtFy WM reall r a government of a 3fw" >w v CU ° n in the Bril] g ct ™ borough at Glasgow, and that at Northw.ch settle the fact beyond all poßsiblep oB sible question.

The Papal Envoy to Ireland, (says the Universe of July 30 ) is at present the gueat of Lord Emly, better known of old as " Monsell of Tervoe. ' His Excellency has already forwarded his first report on the state of the country, and we fancy we are betraying no eecret* id assuming that it is not of a class to gratify Colonel Saunderson on the ono hand, or that longanimous Mr. Balfour on the other who talks of the death of more than half a million of people bY famine as if it were merest of trifles. In a letter to a friend the other day, the Chief Secretary for Ireland airily denied the accurac T of Mr. Gladstone's statement that 1 ,225,000 human beings had perished of hunger in Ireland during tbe Queen's reign. Thes. statistics are wrong, says the precise Balfour, not very much over one-half of that number died. Some of us are mighty hard to be satisfied. Dr. Tanker, M.P., was called to account in the House of Commons lately, for having called Mr. Long, M.P., «• ad d snob •' and expresaed his regret for having used the unparliamentary words Sir Joseph Porter Smith, who can never bear the utterance of anything with a « big, big, D," wanted to have Dr. Tanner suspended for a month, and was sharply rebuked by Mr. Gladstone for endeavounng to condemn an Irish member on the testimony of an English one, while refusing to condemn the latter on the evidence of Irish, witnesses. « Was an imputation on an Irish member one thine and an imputation on an English memuer another ?" he asked' Thereupon the speaker intervened, and the matter was dropped after Mr Smith had shown that Mr. Long is not the only snob of that kind
