Last Sunday was observed in the Pro-CaShe-
dral here az the anniversary OF the Popes
ascension to the chair of st. Potter. In &C.
cordnnce with o previous --announcems ant OF
his Eminence Cardinal Cullen, great prepara-
tions were made to render the ceremonies as
splendid and impressive as possible. large
assemblage of priests was present, and besides
his Eminence there were two bishops-the
Bishop Of Hamilton and the Bishop OF Auck-
land. Cardinal Cullen celebrated the High
Mass, and the Bishop of Auckland (Dr. Croke,
formerly of Formoy College, comfy cofk}
preached the sermon-a very eloquent anu
altogether a very fine discourse. His loFdsnip
dwelt on the vitality of the Church and on It's
universally; on tina chief events OF the reign
of Pins TX; and on the fidelity OF Ireland 10
the Holy See; and on each subject he was very
impressive. Aslarge congregation Assem- bieo
to hear him, and he thoroughly grstihed. AL.
Indeed, I have rarely read more pollsheo
and finished discourse, and his lordship's
delivery was worthy Of what he spoke it was
fnent, graceful and Impressive; and, on the
whole, the commemoratioR was one to be Itself
remembered, and, # His Holiness had been an
eyewitness, he would surely have been e1-
tremely grati6ed. On the same day a pastoral
was read in all the churches and chape!s OF the
archdiocese from Cardinal Cullen in reference
to the coming festival Of SIS. Peter and Paul.
His Eminenoe dealt at great length and in
the dignity and privileges of st. Peter as head
of the Church; arguing % he went on for the
primacy of the See of Rome and the tnfalii-
bility of the Pope. and concluding by strong
reference to the outrageous prosecutions on the
continent.
While the University Colleges supported by
the State in Ireland are languishing, because
they are conducted on the infidel system, the
collegiate institutions conducted by the Jesu-
it's and other similar bodies are in o hourishing
condition-partly, and in great measure, be-
cause they are conducted on the religious
system. Thus few days ago the foundation
stone of a new wing was laid at Clongowes'
Wood College, the chief Jesuit seminary In
this country fifteen or twenty miles from Dub
lin. The projected buildings will be on an
extensive scale, although already there Is
accommodations for an unusually large num-
Der of students. At the ceremony, which was
sanctifed by the usual religious observaaces,
