STAMPED sd. full liberty the supreme authority and that juris diction over the Church that have been divinely conferred upon him by our Lord Jesus Christ ; and the faithful obeying, with full tranquillity of con science and entire confidence, the decrees, warn- ings, and orders of the Pontiff, give themselves up thereto without being able to conceive the least sus picion that bis acts should ever be subjected to the will and impulse of any sovereign and any civil power. We cannot renounce the civil power es tablished by the divine wisdom of Providence for the welfare of the universal Church ; we are obliged, upon the contrary, to defend that government, and protect the rights of that civil power, to complain loudly of the sacrilegious occupation of the provinces of the Holy See, as we have already done—and as we now do again—complaining and protesting in the best way it is possible to be done. Every one admits that the bishops of the Catholic world have never ceased zealously to combat, both by speech and in writing, in favour of our civil sovereignty and this apostolic chair, and all have proclaimed that this sovereignty, especially in the present state of the affairs of this world, is absolutely necessary to establish and de fend the full liberty of the Roman Pontiff who feeds all the Catholic flock, a liberty so intimately allied with that of the whole Church. " These same men do not fear to go about every where crying that we ought to reconcile ourselves with Italy—that is to say, with the enemies of our religion, who boast that they themselves constitute Italy. But in what manner can we, who, being established as 'the champions and the avengers of our most holy religion, and of the salutary doctrine both of virtue and justice, must watch for the salva tion of all—how can we march in concert with those who, not supporting the healthy doctrine, and re fusing to listen to the truth, depart from us, with those who have never been willing to accede to our desires nor do right to cur demands, tending that the many dioceses in Italy deprived of comfort and pastoral protection should have their bishops ? " May it please Heaven that all who so vehe mently oppose the Church, ourselves, and this apos tolic chair, turning their gaze and their souls towards truth and justice, may once for all become en lightened, and, returning to themselves, and pro viding for the safety of their souls, moved by salu tary repentance, may prevail upon their minds to come back to us. Nothing would be more agree able than to go to meet them, following the ex ample of the father in the gospel, and to embrace them, congratulating ourselves in the Lord that these our children were dead and are alive again, were lost and are found. It would then be seen that our august religion—the mother and the fertile source of all the virtues, and the scourge of vices —leads equally to the individual happiness of each and to the public prosperity of all. There, indeed, where religion and her salutary doctrines prevail, necessarily flourish sobriety of morals, integrity, peace, justice, charity, and all the virtues. There the people are not overwhelmed by those serious ills which crush them miserably wherever religion and her doctrines are misunderstood. " From the deplorable facts briefly and sorrow fully told, and from sad contemporary events in Italy, all the world may easily see and divine to what great perils this apostolic see is exposed, and how it forms the target for very bitter threats of rebellion, for the hatred of the unbelieving, and for the wrath of the enemies of the cross of Christ. " Fenians' voices sound continually from all quar ters, which desperate enemies incessantly echo, de claring that this city of Rome ought to participate in this most fatal Italian disturbance and rebellion, even so far as to become its capital ; but God, rich in mercy, will know how by his omnipotent strength to frustrate the counsels and impious desires of our enemies. He will never permit this noble city, so dear to us, whereby His great and most special bene ficence He has placed the chair of St. Peter, the in expugnable basis of His faith and divine religion, to return to the unhappy condition so efficaciously de scribed by our holy predecessor, Leo the Great (St. Leo, Serm. 82, Al. 80. In natal. apostolor Petri et Pauli), in which it existed when the most glorious Prince of the Apostles for the first time entered this city, then the mistress of the world. " As for ourselves, although destitute of nearly all human assistance, faithful nevertheless to our mission, and absolutely confiding in the support of the all-powerful God, we are ready to struggle without fear, even at the peril of our life, for the cause of the Church divinely confided to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, and, should there be need, to re move wherever we may be best enabled to exercise our supreme apostolic functions. " And because, in so terrible a storm, the sole and best support must be prayer, we address ourselves to all the venerable brethren and bishops of the entire Catholic world, to all the Catholic clergy, and to all the children of Holy Mother Church, who have never ceased to lavish upon us all such striking testimonies of love and of respect, to come to our assistance in our very serious trials and those of the Holy See. We call upon them continually to offer, with faith, hope, and charity, fervent prayers to God for the defeat of the enemies of the Church, and their return to the way of salvation ; for, in the words of Chrysostom (S. Joan, Chrysostom homil. 13,,in Cap. 11. generis), prayers constitute a powerful arm, a great security, a rich treasure, an excellent harbour, a most secure asylum, provided that, attentive and watchful, we present ourselves before the Lord with a collected mind, and without permitting any access to the enemy of our salvation. " In the midst of the great tribulations by which we are assailed we have one vast consolation, know ing that God, when His Church has no human suc cour, works marvellous prodigies, which most clearly display His omnipotence and His Divine hand, and which fully confirm the truth that the gates of hell shall at no time prevail against the Church, which shall always remain immovable, triumphing over her enemies until the end of time. " Butit is deeply sorrowful that it is not precisely settled that a nation must always preserve the most precious treasure of our Divine faith and our religion. "In fact, there are many nations which had faith fully preserved the deposit of faith and the discipline of morals. Alas' they have been detached from that Rock 'upon which rests the edifice of the Church, and separated from him to whom has bee n the polwe lambs, and confirming the brethren and t he feeding of _ and the sheep, not agreeing among themselves, and very enveloped in the darkness of er ror, they are great peril as to their salvation. . • - i n the na abstain from fervently adjuring, of peoples to i 4 And here we cannot, by reason of o ur m m e mission, observe good faith, and Lord, all sovereigns and other rulers. upon them, to very grave obligation incuect for religion increase a nd resp endeavour that love :der with care the t with their utmost strength, the torch o re those rulers who, forget extinguished. " Wretched, indeed, a of God for good, the ministers among their subjects,fafnadiditliorbeli:vcieobuilg, ting that they are d their duty when they could and to vorted this worship. It is for h t most precious treasure of feeyabradvaosentdrsoytirtemable, specialty by their oshoaglilithave neglected twhuerni: t they Catholic faith, without which it is impossible to please Cod. When summoned to a most severe judgment, they shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, they shall see how dreadful a thing it is to fall under the displeasure of the living God, and to encounter His most severe justice. "Lastly, we cannot doubt, venerable brethren, witnesses and associates of our labours, appreciat ing your excellent and well-known religion, your piety, and your warm love for Catholicism, that you will be heartily willing to unite your fervent prayers to ours, and to those of the whole Church, and assiduously to implore the most clement Fathet of mercy, that, through the merits of His only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, He will take pity upon Italy, upon the whole of Europe, and upon the Ly , wins ;ht frost, mometer eld-work Mme pro in all the ;t is not required ramence" me it hoe x pensiv e vourablo very we t a g until work of while the ing to be 3t Riding change" 0-day I° c 4 it was been t 1 z, whic h caused ery poor 5 wo Tse 'orthuta. been lia" a of ram W., an d d morn Lnd being )m Scot' has been Y wa s a and no ,ome was :shire 0 0 week has ; . w. 00 progreso clay SO" Forfolk A fine, an ling pro" ling, an d her teul- degrees i n put t ° •ksbire it eek, our Lnd sow' ,ble day 9 week hag e farmers this ell 1, and the )f whea t ' for sol, tinues 0 )er qua: iid vic e : on-Tren t for front b, though rate was id what consider' ied most ;e place ; fount of —Mark' sold it 11 0 , roarer, bu ter suPPII io. 42. •.44, -- 38 S 313 S 4216 i v but ipp, 7 r Is per tl i last wee ...4 03 425 sos ...V 6 - :::38h Oh 5$ _AO 4 26 ..386 40 10.42 d ,40 ..404 126 SSS • 11°V1 9 Tzar . me. ; to 343 P 1 3 0 s per - r 38 st°ll6. o 565 , ; ° l4 Le.

City Office, 4, King-street, Cheapside. offered for the best design for a Gothic theatre—a proposal I which he regarded with peculiar interest, as he felt that the adaptability of Gothic to the modern theatre was a point which our modern Gothic architects had either overlooked or had not had the opportunity of developing. The presi dent atterwards referred to the regret which they all felt at the sad and sudden death of their very distinguished honorary member, Dr. Whewell, late Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. His was the only loss last year of a very eminent man within their own body, while English art had to mourn the decease both of Sir Charles Eastlake and Mr. Gibson. Mr. Hope next drew attention to the fact that amongst the many prominent subjects affecting architectural pursuits which were brought before Parlia ment last session was a question relating to the improve ment of the dwellings of the labouring classes. The whole sale demolitions perpetrated by different railways in London and other towns was the main cause which led the Legis lature to turn its attention to the subject. Let them trust it would be one upon which the eyes both of the upper and middle public and of the Government would be ceaselessly directed, for it was one in which, as a nation, they had as yet failed in their duty, both to their fellow-creatures and to themselves ; to their fellow-creatures, as it was a matter of humanity ; to themselves, as it was one of general health. In conclusion, the president congratulated the Metropolitan Board of Works on having laid the first stone of the southern embankment, and observed that he gave reasons last year why he regarded their architectural future with hopefulness; to these reasons he was able to pledge his continued and increased confidence. True to themselves let them only be, and no selfishness, no stingyness, or igno rance displayed by the world, which was so largely their debtor, could check the architecture of Great Britain in its onward course of great and rapid improvement. Mr. Digby Wyatt proposed, and Mr. Gilbert Scott se conded, a vote of thanks to the president for.his able and interesting address ; Mr. Fergusson, Lord Houghton, and Mr. George Godwin warmly supported the proposition, which was carried by acclamation, and the proceedings of the general meeting terminated.

Address—The Manager "Sue Printing Offices, 3, Church row, Savoy, Strand, W.C. Royal Institute of British Architects The first ordinary generally meeting of the session 1866- 67 took place last evening at the rooms of the institute, Conduit-street, Regent-street—Mr. Beresford-Hope, M.P., the president, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN announced, amongst other things, tha, the secretary had before him the longest list of new fellows and associates to be proposed on this occasion that ho had ever yet known onlone evening. The names having been read, The SECRETARY stated that the list of contributions was also of a most liberal and satisfactory nature. Amongst them was a magnificent work on Indian architecture which had been presented by Mr. Murray, and another copy of the same publication by the Secretary of State for India. Mr. GOODWIN said that the thanks of the institute were eminently due to those Indian gentlemen through whose subscriptions the work had been produced. The CHAIRMAN then delivered his opening address, which congratulated the members of the institute upon the fact that her Majesty had graciously permitted them to prefix the word "Royal" to the name of their association. After expressing the deep regret which was generally felt by lovers of art at the death of the beloved and honoured president of the Royal Academy, and alluding to the cir cumstance that his place had been filled " by the election of an academician who had shown himself a vigilant sen tinel of artistic independence at a crisis which had put his courage to the proof," the address went on to descant at some length upon the recent attitude of art politics in re gard to the Royal Academy and the National Gallery. The result of the late Government's decision was to fix the permanent home of the National Gallery in Trafalgar square, and, after the discussions of the past session, this result remained unchanged ; but, fortunately, there was only one opinion in or out of Parliament, that neither in size, arrangement, nor external appearance is the structure worthy of its destination, even after the ap propriation of the half now used by the Academy. In refer ence to the coming Palace of Justice, Mr, Hope observed that last year he had occasion to express his anxiety that it might be worthy of its destination and of the empire. This year he could confidently say that the list of competitors gave the material guarantee that the building would fulfil the expectations of artistic patriotism, provided only that the judges show themselves competent, and Parliament, in years to come, was generous enough not to grudge the necessarily large sums requisite to bring so giSnd a work to its legitimate completion. In calling attention to the prospects of British architecture and of the cognate arts at the coming French Exhibition, the president stated that the committee of this and other architectural societies had been recognised by the British Commissioners as the body to be relied upon for accomplishing the gallery of British architectural drawings in the Fine Arts Department, and also as organisers of a court of manufactured productions referable to architecture and the cognate arts. Out of these arrangements had grown a project, of which he was grate ful to say that they owed the suggestion to Mr. Cole, which promised to be alike useful and . full of interest. The tale of designs which they should be able to exhibit at Paris would be comparatively small, while the number they should de sire to send would be proportionately very numerous. In face of this difficulty the South Kensington authorities had undertaken to arrange for them a preliminary exhibition in London, commencing at the beginning of December, in the spacious range of galleries at South Kensington, which were during last summer, and would again next season, be occu pied by the National Portrait Exhibition. After dwelling for some little time upon the relations which had hitherto misted between this institute and the Architec tural Museum (which, he observed, was founded in 1851, to meet a necessity which was even then palpable and in creasing), Mr. Hope proceeded to notice the programme of prizes which the council had proposed for the forth coming year, and that amongst them was one to be Allocution of the Pope. ROME, Oct 30. The following is the text of the allocution upon Italian affairs, delivered by the Pope at the secret consistory held yesterday : " Venerable Brethren,—More than once, in the fulfilment of our apostolic office, we have lamented, both in our published letters, and in divers allocu tions pronounced in this very noble assembly, the afflictions long weighing in Italy upon the affairs of our most holy religion, and the very grave insults inflicted upon ourselves and the apostolic chair by the Subalpine Government. You will therefore understand the sorrow with which we are now over come when we see that Government, with daily increasing passion, incessantly attack the Catholic Church, her salutarylaws, and all her sacred minis ters; when we see, alas ! venerable bishops and men of the greatest integrity among the clergy, and other very virtuous Catholic citizens, without any regard for religion, justice,and humanity, sent into exile by that Government, or thrown into prison, or con demned to reside at a stated place and molested in the most unworthy manner ; when we see dioceses deprived of their pastors to the very great prejudice of souls, virgins consecrated to God carried away from their convents and reduced to mendicity, the temples of God violated, diocesan seminaries closed to the members of the clergy, the instruction of the Catholic youth taken from Christian discipline and entrusted to professors of error and iniquity, and the patrimony of the Church usurped and sold. That same Government, despising ecclesiastical censure, and paying no attention whatever to our most just demands, and those of our venerable brethren, the bishops of Italy, has sanctioned similar laws en tirely contrary to the Catholic Church and to her doctrine and her rights, reproved by us, and has not hesitated to promulgate a law touching civil marriage, as we call it—a law not only quite con trary to Catholic doctrine, but also to the welfare of civil society. Such a law tramples under foot the dignity and sanctity of marriage, destroys that in stitution, and encourages an altogether shameful concubinage. In fact there can be no marriage between the faithful without there being at one and the same time sacrament. Thus, it belongs exclu sively to the power of the Church to decree every thing which may concern the sacrament of marriage. " Further, that Government, wounding in a sens ible manner the state of public profession of evan- gelical vows which has had, and always will have, force in the Church of God, and misconceiving the _ _ very great benefits of regular orders, which, founded by holy men and approved by the Holy Apostolieal Church, have deserved admirably of the civil and literary Christian world by so many glorious labours and so many pious and useful works, has not feared to sanction a law suppressing, through the countries under its dominion, all religious bodies (corpora tions) of both sexes, and has appropriated to itself all their property, and much other Church property, and has ordered its partition. Before entering into possession of the province of Venetia, it has not hesitated to extend the same laws to that country, and has ordered, contrary to all law and right, the entire destruction and annihilation of the convention entered into by us with our very dear son in Christ Jesus, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. "In consequence, faithful to the very grave duty of our apostolic ministry, we raise anew, iu this very noble meeting, our voice in favour of religion, the Church, her holy laws, and the rights of authority of this chair of St. Peter, and with our utmost strength we deplore and reprove all and every of those things which have been decreed, done, and attempted by the Subalpine Government, a d n by every ether subordinate authority against the Church, her laws, and her rights ; and by our apostolic autho rity we abrogate and proclaim null and of no effect and without force or value all the said decrees, with everything attaching thereunto. We also call upon their authors, who glory in the name of Chris tians, to call to mind and seriously to consider that they have, unhappily, incurred the spiritual cen sures and penalties inflicted by the apostolic consti tution, and the decrees of the oecumenical councils upon whomsoever attacks the rights of the State.. " You know, venerable brethren, that certain astute men fight against us, and interpret in their sense the benediction we gave to Italy when, as suredly without any personal merit, but thanks to the impenetrable judgment of God, we spontaneously pronounced words of pardon and peace out of affec tion for the populations of the Pontifical State. In truth, filled with the solicitude for the happiness and the fidelity of the entire flock, imploring in our prayer to God the welfare of Italy, we prayed with fervour and humility that he would deliver her from the evils by which she was tried, that the most pre cious gift of Catholic faith might be all powerful in Italy, and that sobriety of morals, justice, charity, and all the Christian virtues might flourish in her more than ever. Even now we do not cease to offer up to God the most fervent prayers that He will deign in His benevolence, to deliver the Catholic population of Italy from the many and great cala mities of every sort by which they are oppressed and assailed through the fault of the governors of the country, and from multiform persecution. But, above all things, we supplicate the Lord of all mercy to strengthen and fortify the peoples of Italy by his celestial aid, in order that they may remain stedfast and immovable in the divine faith and iu their re ligion, and that they may endu re and support so much adversity, so many evils, with Christian strength. " Insensate, however, who deduce from this, an d d do not cease to ask t hat we,• who, already despoile by the most manifest injustice of several provinces of our Pontifical domain, should furth our civil sovereignty , and that of the apost olic chair. Every one must assuredly see how unjust and prejudicial to the Church is such a demand. By the special will of Divine Providence, as we have said upon another occasion, it happened that when the Roman empire had fallen, and was divided into several kingdoms and divers States, the Roman Pontiff, among so great a variety of kingdoms and in the then existing state of human society, was in vested with his civil sovereignty, by means of which, never subjected to any laical power, he exercises in ~~ 1--‘e . •• 'entire worl aa hat, by His divine omnipotence, He will so er hat after the destruction of all errors and ce ion of bitterness and disturb ance, His holy Church may completely enjoy full liberty of peace, that human society may be de livered from the many evils by which it is assailed, and that all peoples may mingle in unity of the faith and the recognition of his Son, walking in the ways of the Lord, and giving forth fruit in every good work." Naval and Military Intelligence. The Admiralty yacht Enchantress, moored in ordi nary off Woolwich Dockyard, sustained some con siderable damage on Sunday morning by a Jersey craft, of about 200 tons, laden with a cargo of stones, coming up the river at the top of the tide striking her on the starboard side abaft the paddle box. The Admiralty barge, hanging to the davits was stove in, the main shrouds were carried a way, the bulwarks damaged, and the head of the chart house, or deck cabin, was split up. The name of the craft was given as the Surprise. Mr. Ladd and. the assistant-shipwrights of the dockyard made a survey of the Enchantress, in order to estimate the amount necessary to make good the defects where with to tax the owners. Her Majesty's 4-gun vessel Sylvia, commissioned by Commander Wm.: Brooker (December, 1863), for surveying purposes, yesterday returned to Wool wich Arsenal from her official trial trip, and shipped powder at the red buoy. On Thursday morning Commodore-Superintendent Edmonstone and Mr., Lorie, secretary, will go on board and make a final inspection of the crew and ship throughout. She will be in readiness for sea on the following Mon day, when she will go down to Greenhithe to ad just compasses. ller Majesty's 2-gun double-screw iron and wood gunboat Vixen, commissioned by Commander S. P. Brett (April, 1862) at Woolwich, and partially ready for service, yesterday went down the river to the Maplin Sands, on trial, under orders to return. to Gravesend, make fast for the night, and return to Woolwich this morning. The following notice from the Admiralty was T l y o e r s d t s e h rd ip a s y h p e o v s e te h d ee in n l p ico eas olw ed ic t h o Dockyardallow wol :—" all men, onhtehi the ten-hour system, entering the dockyard at 8 30 a.m. for a certain period, as an experiment, such wo7kmen being informed that if any improper ad vantage be taken, or they avoid coming into the yard at the proper hour, and the work be in conse quence delayed, their lordships will have to recon sider the indulgence which they have granted, and will discharge any men who take ,au improper advantage of it.—W. EDMONSTONE, Commodore- Superintendent, Woolwich Dockyard." Major-Gen. Warde, commanding at Woolwich, yesterday issued a garrison order, prohibiting the troops from frequenting or entering, on any consi dration, the localities in the lower parts of Wool wich, Charlton, and Plumstead, in which several deaths from cholera have .occurred within the last few days. Officers and non-commissioned officers are therein apprised that it is their duty to see that the order be strictly attended to. The Late Mr. Charles Davis and Mr• James Mason. Alas! we have lost within the last few days two of the very first men of their time, each in his own peculiar way. Mr. Charles Davis, her Majesty's late huntsman, and Mr. James Mason, betterkuown as " Jem Mason" throughout England and France, and probably throughout Europe, have been taken from us. When shall wo see their like again? I remember asserting, many years ago, before a numerous party, that there were then three men in Eng land who were facile principes in their own professions, the second being Sir Edwin Landseer as a painter of ani mals in repose ; and the third, " Jem Mason," as a cross country rider. No one contradicted me. The great artist remains not only unvanquished, but clearly invincible. The third was never " collared" till the day when the ravages of a cruel malady forbade him any longer to get into- his saddle. How well I recollect Mason when I first went as a little boy to Harrow School. He then often rode Mr. Harvey Combo's second horse. In spite of the excellence of the successive packs (Mr. Osbaldeston's was one), and the energy and liberality of the master, sport was rare, for the extremely difficult character of the old Berkeley coun try interfered with it. A fox would run short, turning at the end of a hedgerow as big as a small spinney—kills became less and less frequent, and we all know that every fox which might be, but is not, accounted for makes hounds mere sllek and less disposed to do their best to account for the next. But oven iu those days Mason's magnificent horsemanship and judicious eye for a country manifested themselves in the fine runs with the Queen's and Mr. Do Burgh's staghounds over the Har row, or as many of the field then called and still call it—the 'Arrow country. And how kind he was to an inferior per former ! lam afraid to say, for fear lest I should be thought to exaggerate, how many times he caught my mare during the latter part of a very severe run from Oxenden-farm nearly to Beaconsfield. Mason, as your readers know, began his career as a first-rate rider to hounds, and in this line his excellence was so prominent as to in dicate to the best judges, such as Mr. Elmore, that he must, if tried, become a groat steeplechase rider. And right, indeed, they were! Those three words, "Mason on Lottery," have long represented the beau ideal of the crack cross-country rider on the crack steeplechase horse. I have often seen Mason win, but I do not think that I ever saw him achieve his victory more magnificently than in a steeplechase over natural fences in a goodhunting country about four miles from Oxford, on, I think, Gay Lad, when he left M'Donough in the second place after a severe set-to. I t was a real pleasure to see him in a run. His seat, hand, and nerve, his marvellous combination of eye for hounds, pluck, and elegance in the saddle, del!ghted the eye, and his cheery way when a fox "broke" was enough to induce a doubtful goer to catch the contagion and ride " straight" in spite of himself, even if he had received before ho started from home for the rail a circular announcing a heavy call on several hundred £5O shares in some joint-stock company in course of winding-up. I never had better opportunities of observing Mason's excellence with hounds than in some very agreeable days' sport with the harriers kept byllessrs. Hall, at Neasdon. In a burst with a fox over grass a d T p a g n has quite enough to do to watch the couples of lea ding hounds which are to make the turn —if there is to co ba mpa ,_ to select in each fence the weakest bits which are orse _ ' ible with keeping one's place, and to hold one' s 32 1 . 1 Under to getherthese e circumstances ms nurse ta bc h e s i my you uhen cannothe isn find admire a nother a ce i o gn o t r i na i e s a l s • m re a n n t.

I mean ere he sits on his gallant grey, still full of go, though with ford legs fired and shaken, with men of rank and birth all round him, yet who more aristocratic in appearance than Mr. Davis himself, nature's own nobleman ?
