A meeting of Catholic bishops in
Dublin, presided over by Cardinal Gull
len, passed the following resolution rela-
tive TO the alleged unfair treatment of
the Pope by the Italian authorities;
" That we see with deep sorrow the con-
tinued suferings of our most holy father
Pope Plus TX, and the persecution to
which religion is subjected in Rome, the
center and capital of the Christian
world; that we also deplore the evils by !
which in Germany, Switzerland, Spain
and Italy the bishops of the church,
their clergy and religious orders are
afflicted; and therefore we exhort our
Aocks to put on the spiritual armor of
faith and to approach the throne Of God
in fervent prayer that in His mercy He
may look down upon His children and
restore peace to the head of His holy |
church and to its members.

moderate demand, and the banks are
taking gilt edge at l0CGl2 b cent, and
on the street ll@2 q cent. shave is
made on short date acceptanees, or pa
per secured by collaterals. Exchange
is scarce. Eastern commercial bills are
wanted by the banks at par, and bank
drafts are sold at &c premium. New
Orleans bills are taken at iC9se, the in
side being the rate at which some was
offered, the sellingrate remaining steady
at par. In New York geld is worth
ill7i; here ll6l is paid by dealers.
Local investments are decidedly quiet,
and nothing OF importance is being done.
