Rule League and the demand for Denomina
tional Education end Tenant Right. All wen
off in the best and happiest manner. There
were people who expected q row or q diversion
in favor of Mr.. P. J. smyth. local paper
which mp to couple of months since, has sup
ported Homo Rule, had been trying to decry
the movement for the Home Rule meeting and
been preaching P. J. Smythism; and an old
gentleman named DR.. Grattan "a nephew OF
the great Henry Grattan), had been issuing
Repeal " tracts from his home in the neigh
| boring county of Kildare. But it turned out
that the people of the Queens county would
not have anything to do with Mr.. P. j. smyth
and his allies, and were determined to stand
fast by the cause which Mr.. Smyth, DR.. Graf
tan, and the Queens county newspaper above
alluded to, have deserted. Not man was to
be found to dissent from tho resolutions or
speeches of the meeting; on the contrary,
those speeches and resolutions were received
with great enthusiasm, and an impetus was
given to the national movement; for what
Queens county has done, other counties will
hasten to perform.
OF Catholic news there are this week some
interesting items. Looking South, find that
the lay Catholics of Cork have subscribed
81 200 sterling as q testimonial to the Bishop
of the diocese (Dr. Delaney, in commemora-
ton of his having passed the twenty fifth
year of his episcopate-he is now twenty.seven
years bishop; and I may here note that the
statement that his lordship was some months
since expelled from Hamburg (whither he
had gone for the benefit of his healthy, by the
agents of Bismarck. has been contradicted on
authority of the Cork Examiner. The bulls for
the conservation of the new Bishop of Cloyne
arrived last week. The evening of their
arrival there was general illumina alton in the
town of Mallow to express the joy of the in
babitants at the approaching elevation of
their pastor to the episcopate. DR.. MCCARTHY
will be consecrated in Fermoy on the 2Sth
inst. by the Archbishop of the Province-Dr
Leahy, of Cashel. Here in Dublin, there was
Q meeting on Sunday to organize a testimonial
to the new Bishop of Sandhurst, DR.. Crane, o.
s. A, who has just gone to pay a visit to the
Holy Father before setting out for his distant
see The movement, thus inangurated, will,
no doubt, be successful, for DR.. Crane endeared
himself to many during the long period Of his
ministry in this city. In Kingstown the
of Q new Catholic hospital |
was laid and blessed last Thursday by his |
Eminence, the Cardinal Archbishop, Father |
Burke being the preacher. With Cardinal |
Cullen were the Bishops of Ballarat and
Clonfert. In his sermon (Which send you),
Father Burke made q brief allusion to Glad
stones infamous attack on the Catholic
,hurch; and may here note en- passGnt the
said attack has cost Gladstone oil the popu-
arity his Irish measures had won for him in
his country. Gladstone is now bracketed
With Lord John Russell, the author of the
Durham Letter and the Ecclesiastical Titles
Aot-a man with whom no Catholic can con-
ort make or keep any terms. All the Ca
holic newspapers Of the country-the Wing
Catholic" organ, the Dublin Evening Poet
lone excepted-have denounced in unmis-
able terms, though in some cases reluctantly
nough, the man who has talked of "the
'loody reign of Mary" Ignoring the far
'locdier reign of her father), and declared that
catholics cannot be loyal subjects of the civil
ower. But to return to Catholic news. The
Tery Rev. DR.. MacHale "a relative of the great
archbishop of the West), brought with him
rom st. Jsrlath's College, Tusm, to Paray-le- =
Ionial, q splendid banner, made by the local
fercy Nuns and paid for by the pious inhRbi-
ants of the town. This is the second Irish
amer which has been deposited this year at 1
bis famous shrine of our Lady. It is very
robable that next year other banners will go =
ut to the same spot, and that q pilgrimage d
ill be organized to accompany them. Finally,
have to notice that the new Professor Of II
heology in the Irish College will be the Rev. Il
Campbell, sometime Catholic Citrate of le
Londonderry, and moro recently
ember of the Vincentian Order in Sheffield. ID
was only on the 22nd u1t, that an address u
Id purse of sovereigns were presented to :.
Ather Campbell by the Catholics Of that u
wn in recognition Of his labors in the cause q
Catholic education. lP
