DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH.

(From our own correspondent.) Tannary 21 Preparations are already in progress for the reception of his Eminence Cardinal Aloran and accompanying prelates ou their arrival in Christchurch. St. Aloysius's Hall, in Barbadoes street, is to be fitted up as a temporary girls' parish school pending the present Pro-Cathedral being available for the purpose. At Vespers, in the Pro-Cathedral on Sunday, the Rev. Father Molnerney, S.J., of Sydney, preached a very fine discourse to a large congregation. Father Mclnerney has just concluded a retreat for the Marist Brothers at Wellington, and leaves shortly for Melbourne to preach a mission. Dr. Frengley, who as medical officer to the Corporation made a thoroughly systematic inspection of the city during the late plague scare, left last week on a six months' visit to England. Prior to his departure Dr. Frengley was permanently appointed health officer for the city, a position, owing to the knowledge of sanitary matters acquired by him in Dublin, he is well qualified to fill.
