The Mo&t Rev. Dr. Vurdon was expected to arrive by the Waikare which will reach Dunedin on Thursday, but his name does not appear on the pa^en-ror li&t a, telegraphed to Dunedin. Tnu mission conducted by the Ycry Rev. Father Ginaty in the Catholic Church, Panmure (Hays the local paper of a recent date), was of a most sucecs-sful character. The very large number thah assisted at the various exercises must have been mo^t gr.it if v ing to the zealous ruisbionor as well as to Monsignor McDonald, their devoted pastor. The mission concluded on Sunday alter the eleven o'clock mass, which was celebrated by the M -msig-nor, wh.-n the Pap.il Benediction was imparted by Father Ginaty in the presence of a crowded congregation. It may be stated that a very feeling address, (accompanied by a money purbe) was read by Miss Nelly tiavin to the ruibsioner on bohalf of the school children. Duuixo- the week we have received parcels of stamps for Father Kreymborg's inisbion from M. Downes, Mrs. J. B. Callan's children, and Miss Mary Edmonds, Dunedin. The Catholic Press (Sydney) of the 30th ult. has the following :— ln honour of the distinguished prelates -who recently arrived from New Zealand and who have been the guests of the Marist Fathers, a Solemn High Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's church last Sunday. The celebrant was the Very Reverend Father Devoy, S M , Vicar-General of Wellington, New Zealand ; deacon, Father Louis, S.M ; sub-deacon, Father Ginisty. Weber's beautiful Mass in G was rendered by the choir in a very efficient manner. Mons. Weigand presided at the grand organ with his usual ability. The offertory piece was an organ solo, " Aye Maris Stella," which was composed by the org,,ni^t and executed in a devotional manner. Mr. Murray sauy an Avu M.vi.i, by Kde Beaupuis, with good effect. A. very «ood and practical sermon was delivered by the Right Rev. Dr. Lenihan, L:shop a Auckland on the duties of parents toward.^

their children. At the evening devotions the pulpit was occupied by Archbishop Redwood, who gave a powerful discourse on " The Reward of Heaven," which was listened to with great attention by the large congregation present. After the sermon Mr. Richards sang with devotion "In Verdure Clad." Solemn Benediction was then given by Bishop Lenihan, assisted by Father Devoy and Father Louis. During exposition, Mr. Murray rendered in fine style " Sacra Convivium," by Abbe Lambouit. At the conclusion of the service. the congregation sang with good effect that beautiful hymn. " O Sacred Heart," composed by the gifted organist Mons. Wcigand. The high, altar was chastely illuminated for exposition. There was a large attendance at both service?".

Owing to pressure on our space an account of an interesting London wedding and correspondence from Wnnganui are unavoidably held over.
