A printed circular went the rounds of the city and SMiburbß, asking the ratepayers in the munaoipal elections not to vote for ' members of the Church of Rome.' " The cash- received up to date towards the debt on the. 'Cathedral amounts to over £790. This is a most satfefaiotiory result, and most gratil^ing to 'his Lordship the - Bishop. A plrasui's fact 4n connection with the subscriptions received is that the names of a large number of our Catholic young Tncn, wage-earners, appear on the list for sums ranging from £1 to £10. It is needless to say that the hearty and generous response of the people has greatly pleased and encouraged his Lordship.
