The consecration of Dr. Cleary as Koman Catholic Bishop of Auckland took place oil Sunday in the Cathedral at Enniscortliy, County Wexford, Ireland. Dr. Cleary was born at Onlart, a small town a few miles from Enniscortliy, and liis consecration thus took place in the cathedral nearest to his native place. Dr. Cleary will visit Kome before coming to Auckland. Friends of Dr. J. S. Jamieson, of Eketahuna, and of Mr. W. J. Jamieson, civil servant, Wellington, will be glad to hear that their brother, Dr. J. K. Jamieson, has been appointed professor of anatomy at Leeds University (says the Wellington Times). Dr. J. K. Jamieson qualified for his medical degree before he was twentyone years of age, and his original work during the last three years on the lymphatic system gained him some notice, not, only in the old country, but in America and Germany. This led to his appointment when the chair fell vacant. Dr. Jamieson's late father, of Cruisday, Sandness, Shetland, will 'be remembered by many old colonists of the Dominion, for, acting as the free emigration agent for the ?Ce\v Zealand Government in 1874, he sent hundreds of them out here. He induced all of them who went to go, and every one of tliein prospered in the new country. The Dominion is full of their descendants now, and many of the original stock are yet alive.
