(From our own correspondent.)

s%&c: \. April 29. ,■ The election of Borough Councillors on Wednesday last excited a great deal of interest. Five members of the late Council were returned, including our worthy representative, Mr. Michael O'Reilly. Messrs. E. L. Broad and T. J. Rodgers, of the 'Citizens' League,' were not placed, but have reason to congratulate themselves on the support they obtained, polling 628 and 487 votes respectively. His Grace Archbishop Redwood was the guest of the Rev. Father Costello on Friday, and left on Saturday for Dannevirke to open the new convent;there to-day. It Is his intention to be present at the annual concert of the convent past and present pupils to be held in the Opera House on Wednesday, May 3. The concert, to judge by the programme, promises to be of unusual merit. The Catholics of Shannon held their first social of the season in the Druids' Hall on Wednesday last, and, as might be expected, was a great success, thanks to the zeal of Mesdames Moynihan and Butler, and Mr. J. Curran.
