AUCKLAND
The news of the Pope's death (telegraphs our Auckland correspondent) was received here with the most profound sorrow. The flags on the municipal buildings, the Bishop's palace, and other piaces were hoisted to half-mast. The bells of the Catholic churches were tolled and on Tuesday night prayers for the repose of the deceased Pontiff's soul were offered in all the Catholic churches. The Bishop has summoned the priests of the diocese to be present at the Cathedral on Tuesday evening, when a solemn dirge will be sung, and on Wednesday morning, when a Solemn Requiem Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Lenihan. Immediately on receipt of the news the Cathedral was draped in black. During the day numbers of citizens called on his Lordship and offered their condolences, amongst whom was Rabbi Goldstein.
