M1scE1LANEous FoRE1aN NEWS.
ENGLAND.
We have received foreign dates to the
oath of June, but they contain very meagre
accounts of the Pope's Jubilee in Europe
In England, at the Pro- Cathedral of Ken
sington, tho affairs were most beautifully
decorated, and q grand High Mass was
celebrated, at which Archbishop Manning
delivered one of his mastery sermons on
the Primary of Peter. At the low masses
in the morning, the churches were crowded,
thousands of persons approaching Holy
Communion for the intentions of the Holy
Father. In the evening, Vespers was sung
and procession of the societies, headed
Church. grand re Deum was sung and
the ceremonies were closed by the Bene-
diction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
The celebration seems to have been very
much the same in all the churches through
out England.
Deputation Of the. Clergy Of England to
the Holy Father.-The deputation of the
was receive by the Holy Father. in audi
ence, in the Sala del Trono, on Friday, the
10th ult., at IL A. NJ. The Address was
read by the Very Rev. Canon OSulllvan;
v.G., and the offerings in money presented
by the Rev: E. Slaughter. The Address
amounted to 10000 francs. The Holy Fa-
Their, Who expressed Himself greatly
pleased with the devotion of the English
clergy, returned the following gracious an
swer: The well-beiDg of England has
ever been a matter of interest to Me, and
the work which, the clergy perform in Eng
land has been to Me as great q source of
wonder as the manner in which its clergy
have multiplied Of late years. To watch
this increase of the clergy of England is a
great pleasure to Me; for look upon it as
an evident sign Of their zeal and devotion.
1t is sign that in England there is large
field for labor, and that this labor has not
been neglected. The increase of the pas
tors tells of the increase of the focks, and
the increase of the latter is the best testi-
mony of the active zeal of the clergy. The
present action of the clergy of England in
sending this deputation to the Holy See,
the centre of unity, is another source of
great comfort to Me at the present time.
It shows that their hearts and thoughts are
ever directed towards this Holy See. Let
it ever be SO. AS they. have done in the
past so let them do in the future. Let
their course be ever directed by the Holy
See, and then they cannot err in Their
conduct.
