ARCHBISHOPS LOGUE AND VAUGHAN CREATED CARDINALS.

(From the special correspondent of the Dublin Freeman,') Borne, January 16. At mid-day to-d?y a special Papal messenger conveyed to bis Grace the Most Rev Dr L'gue, at the Propaganda, the letter announcing bia nomination to the Cardinalate in secret Consistory. The Rev Dr Kelly, Rector of the Irish College, read the letter, and in a warm speech congratulated the new Cardinal. Archbishop Logue in responding, referred to his own personal unworthinesa of the high dignity conferred on him by his Holiness Leo XIII., but pointed out that as a direct successor of Bt Patrick he represented one of the oldest and most venerable Churches in Christendom—a Church which, in every stage of her glorious and chequered history, had proved by word and deed her constancy and unalterable loyalty to the Holy Bee in face of the bitterest persecution and contamely. As the recipient of this high honour, the newly-appointed Cardinal went on to say that he represented the Irish race throughout the world, wh eh w^uld, he felt confident, rejoice and thank the Sovereign Pontiff for this especial mark of favour towards a country and a ptople for whom Leo XIII had always shown the warmest solicitude both ia their temporal and spiritual interests. His Eminence, at the conclusion of the ceremony of presentation, was the object of numerous congratulations, and during the course of tbe bfttrnoon he was honoured by visits from the several ambassadors to the Holy See and many distinguished prelates. The following teleg am was received here to-day : — " To bis Holiness Leo XIII., Rome. " Mon9ipnor Byrne, Daan and Vicar-General, Dungannon, prostrate at the feet of your Holiness, in the Dame of the clergy and people of the diocese of Armagh, pours out the most bearlfelt thanks uf your most devoted children fur the singular Cardinalatial dignity conferred oq our well-beloved Archbishop." Ihe following telegram to Car inal Logue was also received :—: — "To bis Eminence Cardinal Logue, Inch College, Borne.
