oelvod,-evoryform and ceremonial .necessary ta evinoo
tho duty and love of bia olergy and fleck having been
gono through,-nothing remained for (he vonerable
prelate on Saturday morning but to tako his farewell,
Tho parting on the part of tho Archbishop and his
friends was highly characteristic. Ko sorrow WSB
ovincsd, either simulated or real ; thoro were no melan-
choly forebodings; all Wfs cheerfulness and pleasantry.
As tho Archbishop met his olergy and friends at 7
o'clock in tho presbytery of tho Snored Heart, his
look waa beaming and radiant with smiles, He
accosted all gaily, shook each heartily by tho hand,
and it was noticed that ho looked more youthful and
well than ho had done fer many years, A short ser-
vice having boon rondorod, in whioh, his Grace fer-
vently assisted, the carriages that wero in attondonoe
.were called up, and, accompanied by those who had
boen with him all the morning, ho was conveyed to
the place of embarkation, and proceeded on board the
Malta, whioh by this time had etoam up, and was ready
to start. Tho steamers Kembla and Breadalbane, fully
freighted with thoir living cargocB, wero in attendance
upon tho mail ship, and ca his Graco stopped on beard,
oneer upon cboor rent tho air, testifying tho cordial
enthusiasm that was felt, and to whioh he responded
by frequently waving his hat. When the vessel
moved from her mooringa, and glided slowly down the
harbour, tho otb er steamers follonod, Looping very
near. The Breadalbane proceeded no farther than the
heads, whoro great cheering and waving of
adieus took placo ; tho Koinbla, however,
accompanied tho mail ehip for about three miles out to
sea, where, tho last tina! cheer having been given, she
turned round and headed towards tho shore. Tho
Malta now dippod her oneign, as farewell, and tho
venorablo prelato was soon no more, whilst, as he
passed from Bight, many a prayor was offered that he
might Boon roturn, in tho samo robust health and
spirits as ho enjoyed on hin dopanure. Tho last
official aot of tho Archbishop was to bostow
on the Venerable Br. Hallinan, ono of tho oldest and
most rospaoted of his clergy, the omeo of Bein of
Windsor. His (i moo presented Dr. Hallinan with the
necessary credentials of that offico at St, Mary's
Sominary on Friday evening in the presence ot a
number of tho alergy. Dr. Hallinan, it will be re-
membered, waa for many yours the President of the
