On April 10 meeting of the share
holders of the Independent Printing and
Publishing company was held at the
Central hall, Westmoreland street, Dub
lin, to consider proposal for the vol.
uatary winding up of the affairs of the
company, as the papers published by it
have not been realizing the expense of
getting them out for some time past.
The proceedings were very stormy
throughout, some OF the shareholders
intinlating their belief that the winding
up proceedings were only cover for
the amalgamation of the Independent
with the Nation, the organ of Mr.. T. NJ.
Healy,-which the chairman, Mr.. Will
liam Field, NJ. P, practically admitted
was the ultimate design, but that the
name of the Independent would be pre-
served. Finally the resolution to wind
up the company was put and on show
OF hands was declared carried, there be-
ing only two dissentients. During the
discussion Mr. Michael Lambert de-
clared that the papers were not Ma
tionalist at all. They had ceased to be
so from the time they threw over Par
nell's principles.

The references made by the Most Rev.
DR.. O'Donnell, bishop of Raphoe, to
His Holiness the Pope, in his sermon at
Letterkenny, on Palm Sunday, have
been received by Irish Catholics with
great pleasure. DR.. O'Donnell had just
returned from Rome, and he stated that,
to all appearances, the Pope is now
more vigorous than he ever saw him be-
fore. Referring to Ireland, the Pope
had said, in words of wonderful feeling,
that "ever since the burthen of the
Apostolic office was laid upon his shout
ders the Irish people had nobly helped
to make that burthen light. They
spread the faith. They warmly sympa-
thized in all his efforts for the church.
They contributed most generously,
often out of their poverty, to supply the
wants of the Apostolic See. Their
warm fidelity brought him consolation
in every sorrow. He knew their present
wants, their sufferings and their sacri-
fees in the past, and they we're con-
stantly in his mind, his heart and his
prayers
