The issue on Saturdays of a Double Number of the Express, eeaaed, as originally announced, with . the close of the Parliamentary t3essica. " Nor seldom have we in India," writes a gentle man high in office in Bengal, " done much for sub '• erriptioos originated in England. We have now " one open here, which offers an opportunity of some ." return. In the course of a fortnight the people •" of Calcutta and the neighbourhood have put down • " over 8,0001. for the immediate relief of the eta " ferers arriving is Calcutta from the disturbed dia " triete." It is to be hoped that the sympathy of the English at home does not need the stimulus of a re minder that those who are now in want of Resistance have ere now contributed liberally to home charities. And vet it cannot be denied that it gives the sufferers an additional claim. They are best entitled to * active sympathy who in their days of prosperity had .open hands for the die reseed. It is simple justice •to say of our countrymen in the East, that prompt ;and liberal benevolence is one of the most promi nent features in their character. This is beautifully shown at the present moment. Madras acd Bombay have been u prompt in origi nating subscriptions as Calcutt►. The English in India arc far more busy helping one another than imploring sid from a distance. Incidental allusions to the subject we may find in private and confi dential letters—like that we hare quoted above—but they hare not deafened the my of tho home community with public ap pears. And the subscriptions for the fugitives hem the disturbed districts are the least note worthy part of the benevolent exertions of the Anglo ledians. The English in Calcutta are, at this moment, emphatically and literally a community of brethren. Every private dwelling I. thrown apes to the rehires as long as there is a spare room or a spay bed to be found in it. Cowers dearribee somewhere the cold and heartless givers of charity, whom the shitted feel to be " their benefactors, net " their brother men." There is no trace of this re pulsive character in the cordial reception at tended by the dwellers in " the City of ?slaws' to their distressed countrymen. Instances have come to our knowledge in which delicate females hare risen from their beds of sickness, to make sure that their afflicted countrywomes were nude to feel themselves perfectly at home. The &limey with which care has been takes to hutiel frees the minds of the fugitives every idea that they are receiving obligations is beautiful in the estrus. During the late war we had often occasion to be proud of the kind hearts of England. but never more to than we feel while reflecting on the overflow of kindliness which may now be witnessed daily and burly in Calcutta. It is not in English nature to stand idly looking on at such *comes. Their contemplation irresistibly stimulates Englishmen to take part in them. Ws know that the late meeting at the Msnsion.how is only the tirst twitching of long Bot.t.'s face, as his ►and begins to find its way to ►is pocket, while he @till affects to look stoical and apathetic. There is so time to be lost. The need of aid in India is real and urgent. Case after ease of destitu tion is brought to our knowledge. Few of the fugi tives have been able to carry with them more than the clothes they bad on at the moment of their escape, and many fled with sufficiently scanty covering. At one time we hear of the destitute family of some merchant or planter, who, after years of meritorious industry jest es the prospect of being is a short time able to retire from business was be ginning to dawn epos him—ores himself obliged to begin the world again with nothing. At another it is some civil or military servant of the Company, whose little capital invested in bungalow and other meessaries has perished in the flames. And them are yet more helpless, because less befriended, victims than these—the widows and orphans of privets soldiers who have lost their brave fathers. It may not be unnecessary to remind our readers that many of the fugitives are suffering not only under the privations of want, but elm under the pressure of disease. Exposure to the midday glare, and to the dews of night, has sown the ineradicable seeds of disease in many a delicate frame. Some have only escaped from the rabble of mutineers and plunderers after suffering mutilations which have permanently swam. gored their health. We hear it said in some quarters that it is the bu►iness of Government to care for these sufferers. No doubt it is. Thu duty has bees cordially reeor THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMB' Riff.

I (ram DO ()war PARIS, MONDAY MIINNINO. A despatch from Algiers brings an afflicting piece of news for the French army. Captain l)oinean, of the Zouaves, has been sentenced to death by the assize court of Oran, for the murder of a native chief named Ben Abd•llali who was killed - And robbed on the highway, on September 12, l&)6, by a large party of Arabs, who, as it is now found by the verdict, were instigated to commit the crime by the captain. I have not hitherto spoken to you of this trial on account of the extreme length of the proceedings, for any report of which it would have been impossible to have found room in your columns while parliament was sitting. The court was occu pied with the case for many consecutive days, and for the lest fortnight the columns of the Gazette des Tri britaux and other legal journals of Paris have been crowded with verbatim reports of the progress of the trial made by short hand writers, sent expressly from Paris. M. Nogent St. Laurent, of the Paris bar, wtnt to Oran with a special retainer to defend Captain Doineau, having been selected for that duty by M. Baroche, the President of the Council of State, who, as it appears from M. N. St. Laurent's speech, is a relation of the unhappy prisoner. M. Jules Fevre went over special to defend the princi pal confederates, who are Arab chiefs of • high class. The $ iew which he took of his duty led him to make a terrible speech against Captain Doinesu, for he could not deny that the Arabs had taken Ben Abdallah's life, but he contended that they were absolved, becamee they acted under the orders of a French officer, whom they were justified in regarding as being invested by usage (if not by law) with des potic power. The disclosures made on the trial are very extraordinary, and will probably lead to exten sive reforms in the administration of Algeria. Cap tain Doineau is a young and brilliant officer of good family, and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. He has great personal beauty and physical strength ; his manners are elegant and dignified, and all the generals under whom he has served speak of him in terms of no ordinary commendation. lie was some years ago appointed chief of what is called a "bureau Arab," at the extreme frontier of the Algerian territory, near Morocco. There, it appears, that he has been regarded by the natives as the highest impersonation of abso lute power which their minds can conceive. The Arabs who committed the murder (some of them at least) confess the fact, but say they did it, and were made to swear to do it, by order of their "sultan " (Captain Doineau). The supposed motives for the commission of the crime by Doineau are—first, re venge and jealousy; and second, plunder. It is said that Ben Abdallah had great influence with General Montauban, Doineans commander, and that the latter feared he might be superseded. A circum stance that told immensely against Doineau was that, when he was arrested, • sum of 38,000 k. was found in his possession; and in his examination he obstinately and haughtily refused to give any explanation of that fact. M. Nogent St. Laurent, however, in his speech for the defence, alleged that this sum was given to him by his mother-in-law seven years ago, and the reason why he did not choose to state the truth was because he did not wish it to be known that she had given him a preference over his brother. M. Jules Fevre ridiculed this excuse, of which there was no proof, and besides observing that an honourable officer suspected of having come by money dishonestly would volunteer every possible explanation, ridiculed the idea that a captain of Zoaaves would drag about with him, for seven years, a sum, which it put out to interest, would have produced an income of 1,600 francs a year. Although M. Jules Favrt's speech, which is described as eloquent in an extraordinary degree, produced • capital sentence against Captain lhaineau, be did not succeed in absolv ing the accomplices, from responsibility. They are all, but five (and they are eighteen in number), found guilty, but with attenuating circumstances, and are sentenced to terms of imprisonment, with hard la bour, varying from five to twenty years. Among them is the Aga Mohammed-Bel-Hadj, a man hi therto much ferreted, and an &Hoer of the Legion of Honour. He is sentenced to twenty years' hard labour. His sous are coming to France with M. Jules Fevre, to solicit the Emperor's clemency on his behalf. I was present to-day at the inauguration of the " Asile Imperial de Vincennes," • hospital founded by a decree of March 0, 1855, for sonvaleacent work ing men, and forming a counterpart to the establish ment of Vesinet, which was created for the recep tion of workmen injured by the inevitable accidents which occur in the construction of buildings. The new hospital built by M. Laval is situated on the eastern extremity of the woods of Vincennes and St. Maude, near the village of Charenton, on a remarkably healthy and picturesque site. It makes up 500 beds, and they are at this moment all ready. 1 went over the rooms, and do not re member to have seen anything so comfortable. They are lofty, well lighted and ventilated, and nicely furnished. The rooms are generally 21 feet by 13, and in each of these there are only three beds. The cost of the building is said to be 1,351,000 fr., a sum which for so magnificent an addition to the charitable establishments of Paris does not appear large. Notwithstanding the report of a rise of per cent. in Consols to-day the Bourse has been heavy. The Rents fell 3c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 66fr. 93e., and Garr. 83c. Credit Mobilier was seriously affected (it fell upwards of 20fr.) by the judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce pro nounced this day, which declares M. Au guste Thurneyuen responsible (solidairte) in the bankruptcy of his nephew, M. Charles Thurneyssen, whose failure for same sixteen millions of francs astounded the financial world some few months since. M.A. Thurneyeames re signation of his seat in the direction of the Credit Mobilier is considered inevitable, and some people think that an attempt may eventually be made to make the Credit Mobilier Company itself liable to answer the summed large deficiency of the assets of the Tharneyseenv. There was very little change in railways. Southern and Western were rather lower. Ferukh Khan's maitre d'hotel, a fine-looking man of thirty-five, fell down dead in a fit of apo plexy at the l're Catelan on Saturday evening.

THE Government of Austria has addressed remonstrances to the Court of St. Petersburg en a question personal to the Emperors of both States—one characteristic, too, in its small way, of the arrogance of the House of HAP.IICEG and of the ambition of the Dynasty of How INorr. L WOO moat documents the Csss described His Imperial and Royal Majesty :" a matter, it might appear, of very small importance to any rational being. " No," says the KAISER to the CZAR—. I alone, of }haven's Vicegerents oo this " earth, am entitled to use that duplex designation "of sovereign authority. I ant both Emperor and " King—you are an Emperor only. For you to assume the see of Royal as well as Imperial is to " usurp sad appropriate my prerogative." To this Austrian reclamation the OA' is said to bare replied by pointing significantly to the possession of the Kingdom of Poland as his authority for the appellation Royal. And, certainly, if extinguished regalities can confer titles, the CZAR is just as well entitled to justify the use of the word Royal from the once important bat now dead kingdom of Poland, as the K sisza is from that fairest portion of his possessions, the annexed Kingdom of Hungary. It is Dot fot Englishmen to try to compose such royal strife and imperial trifling. Nor would we refer to it thus prominently, but as affording an illustration at once of how theCzAn pushes his pretensions forward into Central Europe; how the KAISER tries to repose on the past glories of the meet ancient of European sovereignties; how each, in his own very different and antagonistic aphete, pursues the police. he has inherited, regardless of passing events or of the spirit of the age which he illustrates without adorniug. Here have we two Sovereigns of about equal ages —of abilities of nearly equal mediocrity—of consi derable personal activity—masters of two great Em pires, the least advanced States of Christendom— both affecting in their rule a peculiar though distinct and opposed connexion with the great Churches to which they belong—operating largely and ex tensively in their civil government through the influence and co-operation of those two powerful and hurtful ecelmiastical organisations and hier archies—happily fur the rest of the world, and in spite of their absolutism and despotism, if not actually quarrelling, at least in discord. The CZAR has lately been in Germany. There is scarcely a petty prince in that country who has nut re• ceived either the happiness clone of those visits or of one of those recognitions by which Russian power in Central Europe is from time to time maintained and consolidated. No sooner is the war over than ALEXANDER hastens thither to return in person thanks foe that neutrality of its princes which con stitutes so shameful a feature of their present gene ration. From Berlin he sweeps through these petty Coatis to Baden and the Rhine. Attended in his proper by Baron SEEBACII, who played so im portant • part in preparing those concessions to /tisane which constitute the basis of the Treaty of Paris, and for which that really Russian agent has been rewareltd by the baron 'Crime in Paris, he refuses to cross the mighty stream which separates Germany from France, and to pay that Com pliment to Loris Neroxxos which he had just bestowed on the Court of Carlsruhe. From this refusal the Cabinet of the Tuileries may limn how deeply the Russian Government is ag grieved by its ultimate infidelity as to Hotrod — how hopeless it is to conciliate the CZAR by any thing short of complete and absolute suborn ieney. Nor, indeed, does France at present want other proof. Besides securing a rich wife and selling his pictures at Bt. Petersburg, Count DE Mosey had to all appearance gained another triumph in a Treaty of Commerce. But when examined, the importance of that elaborate document evaporates in idle words. All that France gains by it is equality in Russia fur its wines as distinguished from those of Greece, which formerly had a small preference; while Russia has only secured the empty stipulation that what ever France concedes to other Powers she will also give to Russia, a concession which amounts to nothing so long as her commercial system shall con fines, as it is now likely to do while the Empire lan, prohibitory and protective, and which under freedom of trade would be valueless. The truth is that, despite all fears and apprehensions, then is and can be no natural affinity, no real point of attraction, and no permanent connexion between Russia and France under a Government w►ich pro fesses to be based on the great revolutionary principles of 1789, and which inclines towards England, at once from community of interests, intelligence, and appre hensions. So Count De Moan, has resigned an embassy in which nothing great was to be accom plished far France, and the representation of France at St. Petersburg bas passed once more, in the per sou of Count ult RATNICYAL, into the regions of the less ambitious but more useful and skilful ordinary diplomacy of the French Empire. This abstinence of the CZAR on the very banks of tie Rhine, and when within eight hours' journey of Paris, followed, asit haabeen, by the Imperial visit to Osborne and the better understanding between the Governments of England and France on the question of free elections, and, let us hope, free government also for the Principalities, which was happily effected there, Is at lent indicaiive that there are no special relations between Franc• and Russia, and that Loots NAPOLEON remains faithful to that policy on which the Anglo-French alliance wee founded. Remarkable, in this respect, as was the appearance of the CZUL on the very frontiers of France, it is, perhaps, even more remark able for the omivaion of any personal inter view with the Emperor of AUSTRIA. We are no admirers of Austrian policy, and regard with dislike, and even more than dislike, the present predominance of the Court of Vienna in Germany. But it is impossible not to look with satisfaction and complacency on the separation of two Sovereigns and Comte whose anion and concord would be so mischievous to Europe.

On that 'very day the Archduke Maxi milian will make his entry into Milan, with his newly-wedded spouse ; but this event will not p.ro duce any effect upon the Lombards, except obliging them to spend their money for illuminations and festive preparations, and to put on an aspect of re joicing when they feel but small disposition to do so. It is to be remarked that Venice already, upon this occasion, has maintained her wonted dignity of demeanoar. I have now before my eyes the poetical composition/ which the police authorities caused to be printed, to cele brate the nuptials and arrival of the prince. And they are such verses! The blessed Mown must have had a fit of ill-temper when they were dictated. I cannot refrajiLfrom one observation here, which is not less trian it is important, in forming our judgments about Italy and the much calumniated Italians. For a century back you cannot find one single literary man of any renown amongst us who has paid hie personal homage or flattered in his writings the foreigner who oppresses us, and the wretched governments who upon the foreigner rely. The few amongst our good writers who are in easy circumstances have led a very obscure and retired life, whilst the others have borne with indomitable fortitude their honourable poverty, and in come instances exile or imprisonment It is not that there have been wanting, on the part of the foreigner and of the governments, invitations, solicitations, and arts of seduction, addressed to these men, but they hare each and all preserved their pens, like that of Alessandro Maneoni, Virgin di servo armor E dl codwas atomic.. But one lamentable, though solitary, exception to this was made by the author of Beeville" and of Aristodemo " and this assuredly was owing more to timidity and an impulse of imaginative excite ment than to any real corruption of the heart. The nation, indeed, has never forgiven him that (suit, and after thirty years universal censure still weighs upon his tomb. But let us proceed. Pio None has now been for some days in Tuscany. What can 1 tell you about him except the old story? Triumphal arches, cos tumes and decorations, music and crowds of people, especially from the rural districts, priests; and friars most compactions of all. The liforatere Toscana, however, has, I must say, made bat scanty use of hyperbolical language upon this occasion; indeed it confesses that acclamations have only been heard once, and that was when the Pope stood in front of the terrace of the Pitti Palaoe, to bestow his benedic tion on the populace there assembled. The Florentines are the Athenians of Italy, but very degenerate Athenians. They are fickle as the Clouds" of Aristophanes, whilst they are pungent and sharp as his " Wasps ; " they run, I do not say willingly, but eon furore, to any kind of festival; they are reli gious enough, but it is impossible for them to bridle their tongues, and they hit everything and every body with their light shafts of elegant and epigram matic wit. So it is that, whilst an immense crowd throngs around the Pope quips and satirical expres sions are flying in all directions. These inuendoe are so refined and so Florentine that it is impossible to translate them; but I cannot refrain from giving you at least one. You are perhaps aware that, in order to attract a great multitude of the peasantry to Florence, the parish priests have held out hopes that, in addition to the promised indulgences and other spiritual boons, they might see the Popo per form some grand miracle. Great curiosity was thus excited, and the greater inasmuch as miracles are now-a-days becoming somewhat rare. On this ac count a few of the country people, on return ing to their homes, began to banter each other upon having expected to see what could not poribly happen ; when one of them replied, 'told your, tongues, unbelievers sr Lutherans as you are ! Don't you think it is a miracle that the Pope, after such toils and penances as he has undergone, keeps himself as fat and rosy as a pomegranate still?" The Pope, however, at the present moment is not without some tribulation of his own. Those addresses from Romagna which I have forwarded to you weigh much upon his mind, as is proved by the per tinacity with which the clerical journals deny their existence, avail themselves of a cavil which is worthy of the casuists, and would do credit to Father Sanchez or Father Escobar. In the States of the Church it is prohibited even to address collec tive petitions to the sovereign. The Bolognese and the Romagnese however, willing to keep to legality even to the extent of a scrupulous observance, had recourse, when Cardinal Antonelli prevented the convocation of the Communal Councils, to the expe dient of addressing their petitions to theionfolenieri, or mayors, of their respective towns, giving them an express commission to communicate these addresses and comment upon them to his Holiness. Now the clerical journals, including the Univers, with an impudent equivocation, do not hesitate to affirm that no petitions of any sort have been addressed to the Holy Father. Here is a new example of "mental reservation" to be added to those which are recorded in the " Provincial Letters." But the Pope himself is but too cognisant of these petitions, and he knows moreover that Napoleon 111. has it always in his head to execute Ilia design of promoting many and extensive reforms in the Roman State, as I have mere than once in formed you, and in which desire the Emperor per fectly agrees with your government. The recall of Rayneral and sending Grammont in his place have no other object in view. Antonelli is therefore , using his utmost efforts to secure the reception of ' the Pope in Rome with extraordinary demon... dons of joy, in order to let Europe see that the Poe, title* subjects are well satisfied But his manimer a are attended with little success, and his star app.. about to decline. It is as well you should know by what artifices that empurpled minister has kept hi s . self in power, and you may thence derive arm. r criterion to judge of the disposition and ways of th e papal government. Antonelli is a man of eked. knowledge, and particularly ignorant of theology : but in natural ability, wariness,and dissimulationha has no superior. He has had more than ord.., experience in business, and his address, though out very elegant, has something about it persuasive an seducing. He laid the foundation of his power b y the muted proprio which allotted the differ ea l Ministries of State. Thenceforth, while appea r i ng to leave tomb tribunal its own proper authority,he me a o the Secretary of State (namely, himself) the h i d and master of all. All his endeavours were, ther e . fore, applied by distributing favours, appointment, privileges, gifts and promises , to create for him sr l e large and devoted set of clients. His next artifice has been that of transforming himself like a chime. leon from one character to another, to suit the pi ke and occasion, which he has done in such a manner. to be detect.* by few. He makes those foreign an . baseadors believe, who have any scent of liberal.. about them, that but for him the elem.; reaction would raise its head again, accompasi a y with blind fanaticism. On the other hand, he gr., the Neri party and Austria to understand that with. out him the Pope would do some foolish things god repeat the errors he committed in 18413. Th e c ol , dinal's third artifice is that which he employs na a the Pope himself, all whose inclinations are by hay studied and seconded, especially those of vanity ay bigotry; and those wishes of the Pope's which he cannot or will not promote he leaves to coalman themselves by lapse of time and forgetfulness Only he was not able to get out of the Pope's head the idea of visiting his provinces and entertaining his t , self awhile at Bologna. Knowing the Pope's**. navy, however, he omitted no means to secure th a t thejourney should remain a fruitless one, and shada nowise interfere with the system hitherto adapt e d. I have told you before of the jealous guards wham he has posted around the Pope, and the othe r precautions he has taken that the Pope ch o w have but little or erroneous information al the state of the people's minds and th e deplorable situation of public affairs. B e t wherever the Pope arrived, he found visible taker of the Cardinal's great eagerness to serve and plea. his sovereign, even at a distance. For exsanyk, when the Pope came to Ancona, he perceived ti l t by too frequently, and with& too excessive liberality, bestowing gifts in the shape of precious articles of ifs: votion and church furniture, the chest was already empty, which he had had filled at Monte Cavallo, and he lamented over this, with his attendant ma.. signori ; when, lo and behold ! arrived a man p*. haste from Ca rdinal Antonelli, who, foreseeing th e too abundant munificence of the Pope, had thus seat him, as a timely supply, a great quantity of chalices, ostensories, relics, rosaries, and the like, to gratify nuns and friars withal. " That dear Cardinal As. tonelli," said the Pope, gratefully a ff ected—" he provides for everything." But where the cardinal's wonted prudence and dissimulation fail him is in the pomp which he displays, the extravagant splendour of his mansion and furniture, and in the inordinate enriching of himself and his relations. He hes obtained for his brother monopolies whisk are something more than lucrative, and mob him, so to speak, the arbiter of the Roman Bank. It is true that these monopolies were enjoyed by other; but here comes in the fable of the Fox who wall not have the gnats driven off him, which had ask* their fill of blood, to make room for others to tin him, greedier and more relentless. Antonelli removed the old ones, against the patient's will, sad supplied their place with fresh tormentors. I as peat, then, that this rage for the acquisition of money is the only vulnerable point which the Cardinal lean exposed ; and, in Rome, Pasquinade, are con fi nes/II directed against this weak part of the Cardinal heel of Achille.. Oar clergy here have been, for some days put,' an ecstasy of festive admiration on account of the Madonna worshipped at the shrine of Varallo. Every , . thing which can be collected to render the oeremonin most sumptuous, and to awaken the faith tat devotion of the assembled people, has been pet in requisition with an infinite deal of trouble tad care. Eight bishops have met there, and for to days they have not ceased to conduct processions, recite homilies, and to revile liberty, especially tlit liberty of the press. Money has not been hacking to defray these great expenses ; and visitors have ear thither front 30 or 40 miles distance, attracted cer• tainly by curiosity rather than piety. I should not have alluded to this if it had been a local and sea dental matter; but it is one thread of an extensin web, which the Catholic clergy have for some yeast been weaving, and of which I would say more bet that my letter is already full. I will return to the subject, however, as it is an important one, and ow which marks a noticeable page in the history of the present generation. A. NAPLES AND PIEDMONT. We read in the Piedmentete Gar.ette of Aug. 26: Letters from Naples say that the Grand Court of Salsms, which was specially commissioned for the trial of the prom. made prisoners on board the Cagliari, decided on the lth instant that no grounds exist for proceeding wind Francois Moocher°, a Spaniard, physician to the Bey 4 Tunis; Rosa Moocher°, wife of the above; Jules Schmid% a Prossion ; Eligio Mo, of Turin; Vincent DonaMi, 4 Turin; Jean Dominique Durand°, of Vice, a prorioa Turin; Ferdinand Bormiole, of Altar°. a province of Savor these fear loot being subjects of the King of Sardinia.

MOM OCR OWN CORRZSPONDENTI ROME, Avocet- 24. The Duke de Grammont is expected to assume the ambassadorial duties and dignity in Rome soon aftst the Pope's return, and coming embued with the liberal sentiments of the Picdmontese government, with which he has been perfectly rraecord since be official residence at Turin, it is inferred that his is. fluenoc upon the Pepsi government may be of a somewhat different tendency than that hitherto ex ercised by the extremely catholic Count de ItaynevaL His Holiness is expected back here on the sth, and the Romans are anxious to see him arrive in great splendour, with the Mediceon carriage led six magnificent white horses, presented to him by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, a gift by no mesas oral-ripropos, as the breed of colossal black hones hitherto used by the Pontiffs on gala occasions nearly extinct, and more and more difficulty is ex• perienaed every year in providing the Vatican stud with animals of the dimensions required by etiquette. At the other side of the Ponta Alone a triumphal arch, with an amphitheatre of seats, is in course of erection, at the expense of the mereanti rli eampagna. or large farmers, the Chamber of Conimerce. the Roman Bank, and the congregation of Jews, from each of which bodies a congratulatory address will be presented to the Pope upon his arrival once more upon the sacred shores of old Father Tiber. The loyalty of the Roman municipality is to be displayed within the city walls, their pasteboatd . architecture being situated on the Piazza del Popolo, at the entry of the Corso. The savings bank is to give marriage portions to a certain number of poet girls upon the joyous occasion, bread and meat will be distributed to the indigent, and a general illumi• nation will testify the satisfaction of the citizens at the Pontiff's return from his festive peregrinations. After all this expense, it is not unnatural for the Papal government to contract a fresh loan. It pears that this measure has been finally adopted by the Council of Finance, and approved of by the Council of Minieers, upon terms satisfactory to the great allies of the Holy flee, Messrs. de Rothschild. The moment chosen is favourable, as far as the com paratively high puce of stock goes. Roman Consols, 901. Exchange on London, 4761. I I I
