THE CELEBRANT. IRISH OBJECTION TO ENGLISH PRELATE. ROME, May 23. (Received May 25, 1.15 a.rn.) It is reported that Archbishop Stanley, the doyen of English-r.pcaking prelates in Dome, was invited to celebrate the mass at the beatification of Plunkett, but the Irish bishops remonstrated against the choice of an Englishman, and an Italian was selected.
The Venerable Oliver Plunkett, a Roman Catholic Aichbishop of the Seventeenth Century, was sacrificed by Charles 11. to the nnti-Popish passion which seized the people, in order to blind them and prepare the way for the trial of Shaftesbury. Plunkett was brought to trial on a false charge of treason, and was executed at Tyburn. His head is still preserved in the Dominican Convent at Drogheda.
