THE LATE BISHOP DONNELLY AND ROME.

The Osservatore, in announcing the death of his Lordship Dr. Donnelly, Bishop of Canea and Auxiliary of the Archbishop of Dublin,, notes that he was a student of the Pontifical Irish College in Rome, where he went through a brilliant course of studies. From it he returned to his native country to devote himself to the parochial ministry with a zeal which even during the years of his episcopate never abated up to the day of his last illness. The late Bishop, the Osservatore continues, was an enthusiast for Church musica subject on which he published various studies and articles about 30 years ago, at a time when music did not receive the attention which at present is bestowed on it. He thus contributed to the development of Church music, not only in his own diocese but throughout the whole of Ireland.
