WEXFORD, MAY 7.

i--......._-..
On Sunday last, a very solemntand, in this part
of the kingdom, an unusual ceremony, took place
the Roman Catholic Chapel of this town. The
nerease of population of Newfoundland has been
so very great within these few years past, and that
pulation consisting principally of Irish Roman
atholics, it was deemed necessary that the Presi-
lent of the Missiroaries in that part of His Majesty's
Jominiors, should be raised to the episcopal dig-
nity. The first who enjoyed that high station is
the venerable and flight Rev. Dottor O'Donnell,
P hose exertions in the godlike work of promoting
triune, maintaining tranquillity, and exciting_chris-
ian benevolence, were so great, that His Majesty
'ndescendingly settled on him a considerable pen-
n for life. This gentleman having arrived at a
cry advanced age, and anxious to spend his last
ay* in tranquillity and ease, determined to return
o his native country ; Dr. Lambert, for many
ears, an exemplary and useful res;dent in the Con-
t in this town, was consecrated Bishop, and is
hortty.to proceed to that di.tant coinny, to super-
ntend the mission there. We have no doubt that
nder the guidance of this excellent man, religion
nd morality must flourish. The ceremony of con-
ration, like all those of the Roman . Catholic
hunch, was extremely solemn, and well calculated
u inspire awe ani veneration. The ituniense crowd
lisstmbted to witness the solemnity, prevented in a
ertain degree the grandeur of the ceremony.—
Aany persons, of (lite:tot rel.gious persuasions, at-
ended on this occasion. How happy would it be
vir this hitherto distracted and divided county. that
nil circumstance could be considered as the corn-
aencement of conciliation. and final close of that
