ANTRIM.— A Protest. When the Lord Mayor of Belfast proposed that a congratulatory address should be presented to King Edward on the occasion of his Coronation, Councillor N. J . O'Donnell, 'on behalf of Ivm^lf nnd Ins colleagues, the- Catholic representatives of the Corporation who represented the Catholic portion of tha community of Belfast, some 80,000 or 90,000 people,' at once entered his protest. They wished, he said, to protest against any address of congratulation being offerod to the King so long as he was compelled to make a, declaration at his Coronation the tenor of which the. Catholic community regarded as not only insulting to themselves, but to Catholics generally. It may bo thought, perhaps, by the Protestants of Belfast that we (' Freeman's Journal ') take pleasure in such an incident as this. On the contrary, wo deeply regret the occasion of it, and the more so as wo believe that King Edward himself is a much better friend of Ireland and of the cause of Ireland than any of tho Ministors who have forced him into the falsa position which makes such incidents now unfortunately necessary. CORK. Tho Rev. Francis Murphy, C C , Midleton, Co. Cork, has just been tho recipient of a presentation from tho parishioners of Buttevant and Lisgriffin, where he labored most fruitfully for eight yqarts Father Mur-< phy'a separation from the people of his lato mission, though on the occasion of his promotion to the premier curacy of tho diocese, has caused keen regret.

In the encounter with tho man, who was of powerful ph\si<rue, both constables were soverelv injured Tho presentations were made by tho Rev Father Brew. A Warning. In a lett<r to Monsignor Killer, P. P , V O , which was read at the Masses in Youghal on Sunday, June 1, the Bishop of Clovnu writes 'In warning ,v our Catholic people to dissociate themselves- from any participation m the proposed entertainment at Youglnil in aid (if thd well-. known Dr Barnardo's Homes of H^fuge, you have only discharged Iho obvious duty of a good pastor towards his flocl.

The Christian Brothers. The centenary celebration of tho foundation of the Order of Christian Brothers in Ireland was held at tho Pro-Cathedral, Dublin, on Monday, Juno 2. under the prcsidencv of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, nnd most fittingly it took tho form of a great religious function, as well as* tho preaching of a panegyric by tho Very Rev Dr. Butler, (). C C , on tho great educational work acconi-

plished by tho Order in tho last 100 years. The ceremonies commenced wjth ]Vigh Ma.ss at 1 1 o'clock, but for jui hour previously the sacied building was thronged in every pait by an enormous congregation. In fact, the event excited a great deal of interest amongst the Catholic citizens of all classes, nnd this uns only natural as the greater number of the people were at one time pupils in tho different schools so admirably wnrlood not only m Dublin, but throughout the countiy generally, by tho mem hers of the creat Order " The Lord Mayor and members of the Corporation attended m State, and hud places reserved for them in front of the choir. Except certain sections of the building which were reserved for pupils of the Christian Brothers and) members ot the Order, the church was freely thrown open to the public, and tho result was that from an early hour there was not even standing room available On the previous evening the following telegraphic} message from Rome was received — ' The Holy Father sends special Apostolic Benediction to all tho Brothers, their pupils, and the benefactona of the Institute ' A Sad Case. A particularly sad story was relisted on tho an lval of the American Lino steamship Rhynland from Philadelphia at Queens town on May 126 Amongst the passengers were Mr and Mrs. Chas Bellew, who were on thenway to Dublin to t.ike over a fortune they inherited there, but they never lived to take possesion of it.
