The Irish Envoys

A well-known Australian Prelate writes informing us that arrangements are now being made for the visit of the Irish envoys (Messrs. Devlin and Donovan) to New Zealand. On or about the 25th inst. they were to have gone from New South Wales to Queensland. They remain there till October, when they return to complete their tour of the Mather State. This will cany them far into November, and possibly into December. They will then proceed to New Zealand. ' TJieir mission here ', says our Right Reverend correspon-dent, ' has been taken up most cordially by bishops, clergy, and laity. You will ', he adds, ' fc|e intensely pleased "with the matter and ' the forceful eloquence of the envoys' speeches. They have done much good, .and have everywhere won hosts of friends to the cause '. We urge, friends in every centre of population likely to be visited by the envoys to take time by the forelock and prepare to give them a hearty welcome. Auckland and Wellington are, we understand, already moving in the matter.
