IRELAND.
It appears that the reported arrival of Cardinal Wiseman in Ireland, last week, was premature. He did not land at Kingstown until Mon- day. A deputation met him at the pier. At the terminus were "the Lord Archbishop of Dublin" and the Honourable and Reverend Monseigneur Talbot. Afterwards there was a gathering of dignitaries at breakfast, a progress through the Roman Catholic institutions of Dublin, and a grand dinner in the evening at the Imperial Hotel. The Cardinal departed on Tuesday for Ballinasloe.
In his progress Westward the Cardinal was received with great pomp and ceremony. It was evident a Prince of Rome was passing that way. Priests on their knees received his blessing at railway stations. At the opening of a new chapel at Ballinasloe there were present one Arch- bishop, John of Tuam, and eight bishops, wearing the rich robes of office, and many friars and priests. Altogether there was a fine show.
It is stated that Colonel George Browne has resigned the Commis- sionership of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. He had held it twenty- two years. Rumour names as his successor, Colonel Lake, one of the defenders of Kars. The salary of the Commissioner is about 900/. a year.
Alderman T. M'Donnell, of Limerick, with his family, while driving upon an outside car at Liscannor on Monday, had a narrow escape, the horse having taken fright and run off in the direction of the cliffs. He was with- in a few yards of reaching the wall, over which he would have leaped, when Major Gavin who was riding by at the time, and observed the perilous posi- tion of the party, drew a revolver from his pocket and shot the horse dead.— Limerick Chronicle.
