There is a pathetic passage in the recent biography of Dr. Doyle, first Bishop of Lismore (says the Freeman's Journal). When he died last year we have'' been told that he had 18d as his sole personal estate. According to his biographer when he arrived in Sydney, en route to Armidale, he had even less. 'He often told me in after life how he borrowed £7 from Mr. Thomas Barry, of Waverley. . . . Last year, when in Cork, he visited this Mr. T. E Barry, who has since returned to the Old Country, and had many chats over his first days in Sydney.' "' A grand representative of the old colonial school, and one of the most prominent citizens of Sydney, has just passed away in the person of Mr. Patrick Macmahon. The deceased at the time of his demise was in his eightieth year. He was widely known in the commercial world as the owner of the Macquarie Bond, over which his name has been emblazoned for nearly forty years. The late Mr. Macmahon was born at Cloonteen, near Six-mile ' Bridge, on the Clare side of the Shannon, about. the year 1830. He received a sound practical education in his youth from Patrick Slattery, ' one of the finest scholars and mathematicians in the South of Ireland. As he grew into manhood he, like many, of his compatriots, turned his 1 eyes towards Australia, and eventually decided to emigrate to these far-off shores. . ■•> %■ '
