-The silver episcopal jubilee of the Cardinal Archbishop of
Sydney will take place next Sunday at St. Mary's Cathedral,
Sydney. Cardinal Moran, third Archbishop of Sydney, and
first Australian Cardinal, was born at Leighlinbridge,
County Carlow, Ireland, on September 16, 1830. As the
nephew of Cardinal Cullen, he accompanied that
distinguished ecclesiastic to Rome, where, after a number
of years' education, he attained the position of
vice-rector of the Irish College. Cardinal Moran was
ordained priest on March 19, 1853, and whilst at Rome made
a study of the archives of the early Irish and British
churches. In 1872 he was consecrated Bishop of Ossory,
where he remained until March 21, 188.. In 1885 he was
summoned from Sydney to Rome, Pope Leo XIII. raising him to
the cardinalate on July 27. In commemoration of the
jubilee, the' Cardinal Archbishop will entertain the whole
of the Roman Catholic school children of Sydney and its
suburbs. The Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr. Carr, will preach
the sermon, and will be accompanied to Sydney by the Bishop
of Ballarat, Dr. Moore; Bishop of Sandhurst, Dr. Crane; and
Bishop of Sale, Dr. Corbett. The Coadjutor Bishop (Dr.
Delany) left (states an exchange) by the s. Oonah on
Tuesday to take part in the ceremonies, and will represent
Tasmania thereat. Welcome to Major and Mrs. Veal. The
Salvation Army Barracks was numerously attended last night,
the occasion being a welcome to Major and Mrs. Veal. Ensign
Verity led the meeting, which was opened devotion ally.
After a solo had been sung by Cadet Smith, words of welcome
were given by Ensign Shaw, of Beaconsfield, Captain Boyle,
Launceston, Captain Spellman, Longford, and by Captain
Cockburn on behalf of the Rescue Home. Lieutenant Siden
then sang a solo. Ensign Verity read letters of welcome
from the outposts of the colony; also from Ensign Day, of
the Mission Gate Brigade, Hobart; Captain Sargent, on
behalf of the Hobart Rescue Home; and Calptain Newbold, of
the trade department. Ensign Verity then introduced Major
and Mrs. Veal. The Major stated that Mrs. Veal had recently
recovered from an attack of typhoid, and asked that she be
excused from speaking at length on that occasion. Mrs. Veal
briefly thanked the soldiers for the hearty welcome ac
corded her, and stated she was pleased to be stationed in
Tasmania. Major Veal said he was here thirteen years ago to
recuperate his health, and had pleasant recollections of
his visit. He fully appreciated the feeling which prompted
them to give himself and family so hearty a reception. He
conveyed the cordial greetings of the soldiers of New South
Wales to their Tasmanian comrades. He hoped his appointment
to Tasmania would be the means of restoring his wife to her
wonted vigour, inl order that she might carry on the work
allotted her. He then spoke at length on the duties that
would be entailed upon them as leaders of the Army in the
colony, and closed a fervent address by an appeal to his
hearers to accept the Christian life. The meeting was
closed by the singing of a consecration hymn and
pronouncing the benediction.
