DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(From our own correspondent.) January 17. The clergy of the diocese are beginning to arrive in . the city for the annual retreat, to be held next week. Regret is expressed here at the indisposition of General Pau, of the French Mission. Auckland citizens were in hopes of being able to tender to the distinguished General a fitting reception, but it is now feared his return visit to this city may be so brief as to preclude any public function. The Right Rev. Monsignor Ormond, Secretary to the Apostolic Delegation, Sydney, is expected to arrive in Auckland on Monday next on a visit to his relatives. Mr. Cyril Towsey, conductor of St. Patrick’s Cathedral Choir, is at present absent on a holiday, and is being relieved by Mr. W. J. Pringle.
