(From our own correspondent.) September 30. His Grace Archbishop Redwood, accompanied by the Yen. Archpriest Walshe, arrived here from Westport on

Friday, September 25. His Grace examined the children who were candidates for Confirmation in the evening at the Church of the Sacred Heart, and also delivered a most instructive discourse to a crowded congregation. The! hioly sacrifice of the Mass was celebrated at the Church of the Sacred Heart at halfpast seven o'clock by the Archbishop on Saturday morning. The nine o'clock Mass was celebrated by the Yen. Archpriest Walshe, his Grace being present in the sanctuary. After Mass the Archbishop gave an address on the Sacrament of Confirmation, alter which 12 children were confirmed. The members of the choir of the Church of the Sacred Heart were present under the leadership of Miss Home, and so well did they render the musical portion of the service that his Grace highly complimented them on their efficiency. It is rarely we are honored by the visit of such a distinguished and eloquent prelate as Archbishop Redwood, and the regrettable fact that circumstances would not permit of his Grace being with us on Sunday, deprived many of the pleasure of hearing hftn preach. The new church at Millerton was solemnly blessed and opened by Archbishop Redwood on Sunday, September 27. The Yen. Archpriest Walshe, of Westport, assisted at the ceremony. His 'Grace left on Tuesday for Wellington.
