The Emperor NAPOLEON has just performed a generous act, and one that no doubt was very con genial to his tastes in sending to M. ROUHER the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, accompanied by a letter. This letter is couched in most flatter ing terms, but evidently contains more than mere compliment in its graceful sentences. The EMPEROR has availed himself of a convenient opportunity for expressing his thanks to one who has served him well and faithfully, and who has distinguished himself by the brilliant success of many of his undertakings. In referring to the cross, which is set in diamonds, his MAJESTY re marks that " diamonds can add nothing to the high esteem in which he holds him," but that he avails himself readily of the chance of thus publicly giving a new proof of his confidence and his esteem. d 4 In the midst of your many labours," adds he, " in the midst of the unjust attacks of which you have been the object, a friendly attention on my part will, I hope, cause you to forget the annoyances insepar able from your position, and to recal to your mind your successes, and the services which you daily render to the country." These well chosen words aptly represent the real state of the case concerning the position of the Minister in question, and no doubt this considerate act of the EMPEROR'S will afford him encouragement and satisfaction in his arduous course. It is, at the same time, a notable record of past services, and it effaces, in some degree, the vexations of present complications, while it holds out promise: for the future. Although it is well known that the chief work of transacting business is done by the EMPEROR him self, still it must be borne in mind that the posi tion of a French Minister is, in many respects, an awkward one, and that it is an invidious one besides, because if anything is unpopular in the Imperial policy, it is very easy to put the blame upon the Minister, and make him virtually respon sible for what he cannot help. Under all circum stances, it seems a very appropriate thing that this compliment should have been paid to M. Rouher, and he deserves the tribute thus courteously ren dered to him, no less for his public services than for the advantages he has conferred on the EMPEROR by his zeal and assiduity. The task of conducting French policy has been very trying of late, and after a course of almost unparalleled success it has taken a depressing, if not a disastrous turn. To meet this it has required renewed exertion on the part of the authorities, and a determination to make the best of things, which is more easy to resolve upon than to perform. M. ROUHER may be congratulated upon receiving this token of esteem on the part of his Imperial Highness, for he has deserved much of the EMPEROR and also of the people, since his best efforts have not been wanting to further the ends desired, and in promoting the welfare and studying e interests of France.

To--day will probably be memorable in the annals of the House of Commons, for it is purposed to read the Reform Bill a third time. Although there is apparently.a good deal to do after this has taken place, we all know that virtually the task will have been accomplished, so far as danger and difficulty is concerned, and the remaining duties of those who have the conduct of the measure will be comparatively easy. Had Bill the reachedsession, Hs H d House r s e u a b rl i i e e e r te p d e to less criticism in the it of hadrd bs a e t e a n n Lower House, no doubt a good deal of m om more would have been said and do ne in the way if not of active hostility. Earl Russ h E is LL o ni ce n u s p t a f t e i e o l n , however, that at the present juncture is gone, and that the Representation oftohmepPliseiolpeld.e Bill is in many respects the thing a ccomplished. He has left the stormy arena of debate, and he must take the chances of his position, and abstain from putting in those delays which the public will not now easily brook nor willingly pardon. In the expectation then of little being done in the way of change in the consideration of the measure by the Upper House, we may well pause to consider the task that has been so far accomplished by the Com mons. It is no exageration to say that great credit is due to the House itself for the consistent course it has pursued through trying circumstances, and the chances and changes of an eventful Session. No doubt when all is over, and the bill has been sent up in due course, many will lay claim to a share of approval that does not really belong to them, While we willingly accord all possible tribute to those independent members, as it is the fashion to call them, who have through good report and evil report looked steadfastly to the main chance, and resisted all temptation to interfere with the work in hand, we would protest against the encroachments of those who have done their worst, and now at the eleventh hour would pretend that they have borne the burden and heat of the day. Consistency is a very good thing, as will not do to overlook it importance last now THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1867. COURESPO: AM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. There has been a funeral service in the chapel of the Tuileries, in commemoration of the death of the Emperor Maximilian, at which the Emperor and Empress attended, as well as the Princess Matilda, Prince Lucien Murat, Prince Lucien Napoleon Bonaparte, Prince and Princess Napoleon Charles Bonaparte, the Ministers of State, members of the Privy Council, officers of the Household, and the wives of the various dignitaries. The Pope has ordered a solemn service to be per formed in the Sixtino Chapel, in commemoration of the death of the Emperor Maximilian. On Fri lay the close of the Danish Rigsrad took place at Copenhagen. The Royal Speech thanked the Rigsrad for voting the law upon the army, and for its accord with the views of the Government, which it expressed in its address. The Government promised to enhavour as much as possible to consolidate the friendly relations between Denmark and the Foreign Powers, and to surmount " present difficulties" without compromising the future of the Danish Monarchy'. A letter from Florence states that the death of the Emperor Maximilian has created a deep sensa tion in Italy, and particularly in Lombardy. This homage of the Italians (says the Moniteur), is, of all the other manifestations, that which perhaps does the most and the best honour to the memory of the Prince. He had created the love and esteem of every one in that country, where, as Viceroy of the Lombardo-Venetian Territory, he nevertheless at that time represented a Government which all then considered as an enemy. On the 29th of June, M. do Botmilian, recently appointed Consul General of France at Tunis, had the honour of being presented to the Bey, with the accustomed ceremonial by M. Duchesne do Belle court, his predecessor in that office at the Regency. The date now fixed for the arrival of the Emperor of Austria in Paris is the 28th of August. The King and Queen of Denmark and King Louis the Second of Bavaria will come to Paris about the same time. Baron Adelsward, representative of Sweden and Norway at Paris, is gone to meet his Sovereign, Charles the Fourteenth, at Strasbourg, to accom pany him to Paris. His Majesty travels in private under the name of Count de Beckaskoy. On the day when the Sultan went to the review he rode a splendid horse, which was much admired by all, and particularly by the Emperor. The horse is of pure Arabian breed. It was the favourite horse of the Sultan, who was accustomed to ride upon it through the streets of Constantinople on his way to the mosque. As the Emperor expressed such admiration of the animal, the Sultan begged his Majesty to accept it as a present, an offer which was courteously accepted, and the horse is now in the Emperor's stables. A curious coincidence is mentioned in reference to the death of the vaudevilliste Lambert Thiboust. The talented actor made his first appearance at Caen in the character of the member of the Convention Barbaroux, in Pousard's piece " Charlotte Corday.', Pousard died on the 7th of July, Barbaroux, ROO of the Conventionist, died on the Bth of July, and Thiboust on the 9th. A Belgian astronomical publication says that on the night of the 21st of August the firmament will present a curious phenomena, which can only be seen twice. The planet Jupiter will appear for two hours unaccompanied by its satellites. Three of these satellites will be in front of the disc of their planet, and the fourth will be behind it. In the Galerie des Matieres Premieres at the Ex hibition, at the stand of the company of the mines of lead containing silver and the foundries of Pon tigibaud, is an immense block of silver extracted from the lead of those mines. It weighs about 1,230 English pounds. The form is' oval, and its value is estimated at about £5,600 sterling. It is almost of pure silver—that is to say, the pro portion of lead or other alloy is not half an ounce to 211,5. The quantity of silver in the lead of these mines is not larg3, but the lead and other minerals are sufficiently valuable to pay well for working them. The department of the Puy-de-Dome is the one which furnishes the minerals in the greatest abun dance, and it was from that department the present fine specimen was taken. There are, however, mines in the Upper Alps which furnish lead with a larger portion of silver, about 435 grammes of sil ver to 100 kilogrammes of lead. (There are 500 grammes to the pound, and a kilogramme is two lbs.) About a dozen mines are worked in that part of France. They contain coal, marble, cop per, alabaster, granite, chalk, rock crystal, and lithographic stones. The mountains there are very lofty. Mont Pelvoux has a height of 4,300 metres. It is not, therefore, surprising that minerals should be found in these localities, which recall the ancient origin of these mountains. The Siecle, in referenceto that part of the speech of the King of Den mark on the close of the ses sion of the Rigsrad , in which ho speaks of " pre says—" These difficulti es wou ld d long ago if the Prus s i an Go eecuted article 5 of the T rea t y o f B yb e e:l n li t e m d be i en ffi etn e h u ra l e ti n e s oe , vx " Prague, and if it had not adopted useless chicanery." I hare already mentioned that ono of the pre pretexta put forth by Prussia for delay is that she requires " guarantees" for the German subjects of North Schleswig. Four hundred and twenty-one of these subjects have signed a letter to the Gazette de l'Allemagne du Nord, in which they ener getically repudiate the idea that any particular guarantee for the Danish Government to insure the safety of the German population in the districts of North Schleswig is necessary. "This letter," adds the Siecle, " saps the basis of the dilatory system adopted by M. de Bism irk, in order to enable him to dispense with the provisions of the Treaty in regard to the Duchies." gre ss and by The project of an International Literary Con igtrse organisations s wil now bbe are e in progress out,arriearrangements for the committee of the Society of the " Gene de Lettres." The Emperor has written a letter of congratula tion to M. Rouher on his admirable defence of the Government in the Chamber. This letter was accompanied by the order of the Legion of Honour set in diamonds. The Memorial Diplomatigue contradicts the re port that the body of Maximilian had been muti lated, but is of opinion that the Mexicans will make the question of delivering it up a matter of ransom, and says that the expedition of Vice-Admiral de Tegethoff has for object to satisfy this odious de mand. The French Legation had not left Mexico at the end of last month, and the diplomatic body did not think they would be in any danger. It is not probable that M. Dano has embarked for Europe. A strange occurrence is related in reference to a young girl residing near the village of Chauny in the department of Aisne. Four years ago a needle ran into her hand, and it seems to have traverse the whole body. The surgeons often tried to extrac, it, for the girl suffered much pain, but they only succeeded in breaking it into six pieces. Three of the fragments of the needle came out of the left side of the neck a few days ago by the same aperture, at intervals of half an hour. Two other pieces pro truded two days afterwards from the right heel by two different apertures. The sixth piece of the needle was extracted by the girl hers,:lf as she was walking along the road from her own village to Abbecourt. All the pieces are as bright as silver, except ono, which is black. The Billancourt Exhibition continues to attract. and several interesting novelties are about to b. ad led. There is to be a a show of magnificent hors , ft and also a dog show. The King of Wurtemberg and the Prince of Saxe-Weimar visited it yesterday, and were much pleased with the remarkable collec tion of bovine animals.

Tt cannot be said that the leaders of the Opposition can lay claim to the merit of having passed the bill. it is true that during the last month or two they Lave been tolerably quiescent ; but why so ? Be- I cause the House had divided against them, and they iwere worsted, after using all their resources, and putting forth all their strength. it will not do for them now to de clare that without them the work would not Dave been accomplished, because it is no thanks to them that we are not now in a worse state than at the commencement of the session. Had the machinations of last April been successful, where would the chance of Reform be now ? This is the best answer to give to those who aro confusing things. The merit of passing this bill is due to the Government in the first place, and next to those who assisted them in triumphing over an organised opposition to it, and those who fully and fairly consider the matter must inevitably arrive at this decision. Palniam qui meruit feral is a time honoured adage, and it must not be forgotten nowadays when people are very apt to infer one thing and to suggest another until a very opposite conclusion is arrived at from that which truth can approve or ratify. .No doubt the general feeling of the house will be that of relief at this trouble some question being so disposed of in the most satis 'actory way possible. Notwithstanding the unkindly influence of ST. SWITHIN'S there is every reason to hope that our illustrious visitors will enjoy their sojourn among us, for every exertion is being made to do honour to the Imperial guests, and to give a hearty welcome to our nearer neighbours. The visit of the SULTAN is, of course, the great event of the day. Never before has the ruler of Constantinople con descended to pass so far westward amid the bustle and brusquerie of European life, and t seem not a little strange to him to find himself Ln the midst of railways and steamboats, and all the etceteras of Engli h civilisation. Not Ow such things arc at the present day unknown in Tur. key, but that the whole scene and surroundings of royalty in Constantinople and in London are very different. No effort has been spared, however, to comply with the most rigid observances of Oriental etiquette, and all due pomp and ceremony has waited on the Imperial guest. On Saturday the ceremony of a formal visit was paid to the QUEEN at Windsor Castle, and the regal state of the proces sion through the streets of London attracted hosts of spectators, who were moreover eager to obtain a sight of the SULTAN himself. After returning from Windsor the SULTAN dined at Marlborough House. Yesterday he repeated his visit, and was received by the Princess of WALES, who was happily able to do the honours on this interesting occasion. The PRINCE of ter- wards escorted his illustrious visitor to Richmond, the royal party going by water in the QUEEN'S State barges, and returning by road through Richmond-park, so that the SULTAN will have seen some of the most picturesque spots round London. To-day the programme is happily in-doors. He is to receive the corps diplomative at Buck- Ingham Palace, and to visit the Italian Opera in State in the evening. To-morrow he is to visit Woolwich Arsenal, Dockyard, and Barracks, and afterwards to drive to the Crystal Palace, and dine in the corridor overlooking the beautiful gardens. It is to be hoped the weather will be propitious ; if it is the scene will remind the SULTAN of a page out of one of his own Eastern romances of fairy p4laces and magical effects. Wednesday is the day fixed for the grand Naval Review at Spithead, when his Majesty will be able to appreciate the naval strength of England, of which indeed he ought to know something already. Thursd.ty and Friday will be chiefly devoted to the City, without which no visit to this country would be complete, and without which some of its most remarkable and characteristic features would be passed over. On Thursday the Imperial guest is to be entertained by the Lord Mayor and the Corporation. On Friday, after visiting the House of Lords, he will go down the river and see the shipping, and then inspect the Tower, the Mint, the Bank of England, the Post-office, &c., and afterwards attend the ball at the India House. On Saturday, it is believed, he will attend the Wimble don Review, so that there will be no lack of variety in the entertainments provided for him. No day is as yet fixed for the Sultan's departure. The Viceroy of EGYPT, whose visit is only second in interest and importance to that of the SULTAN himself, has been inspecting some of the wonders, and on Saturday visited the Crystal Palace, with which he was especially pleased. It was the occasion of the Dramatic College Fête—a fortunate circum stance for that deserving institution—for his lima- NESS munificently promised them a gift of £5OO, and a similar donation to the fund for restoring the Crystal Palace. The VICEROY has besides visited Clieveden, and has been invited to several grand entertainments given in his honour, so that there will he no lack of hospitality in his regard. The Prince , of WALES must find the duties of hospitality just now rather arduous, in spite of his characteristic good humour and courtesy. on Saturday he had to snatch an hour or two from his attendance on the SULTAN to fulfil his promise to receive the Belgian Volunteers at Wimbledon. Here, again, our English skies seemed determined to deserve their bad reputation with the foreigners, for just as the Prince was preparing to address his enthusiastic audience the rain came down in torrents, and the elements joined in the cheers of the volun teers with peals of thunder which almost drowned the speaker's voice. The Prince, however, is too goo 3 an Englishman to be daunted by difficulties, and borrowing a macintosh he braved out the storm, and finished his speech, wind and weather notwith standing. The Belgians manifested throughout the highest good-humour, and the most vociferous goodwill towards the Prince. The grand day at Wimbledon will, of course, be Saturday, when we have no doubt that our Belgian visitors will put our volunteers on their mettle. The prizes now on view in the camp are many of them of great value and of high artistic merit. The International colonial trophy, for instance, is a study in itself, and chronicles the names of the three chief winners of the three Kingdoms, with the national mottoes of " Defence, not Defiance," " Faugh-a-ballagh," and " Beware the Thistle." The Tennyson Vase is, of course, the most beautiful thing to be seen in the Exhibition Tent, but this is not included in the list tion . 0 f prizes, hio e being t he B intended e lgiau s f ohratvhee plentyPtlris Eibi. t o x I look at, awl will no doubt continue to enjoy themselves heartily. They, too, have a busy week before them, and London must put on her holiday garb and fulfil her hospitable duties to Turk, and Egyptian, and Belgian, in the manner best calculated to gratify and do honour to each.

By the Hon. F. Walpole. Three Vols. Richard Bentley. May and September—not January and June, not the severe contrast of winter and summer, but the early budding spring -time, and the mellowing glow of autumn, are the seasons symbolical of the hero .end heroine of this story. Lady Emma Were is a very charming heroine, a very Queen of May, in her youth and beauty and freshness, but gifted beyond this with most loveable attractions. "Equability was one of her great charms, a gentleness that pervaded all she did, the soft voica was but the echo of the soft ness that was all about her ; sha could not have been loud or boisterous, any more than she could have been rough or rule ; her floating, sailing motion was not more attractive than the sweet tones in which she spoke." As. for Lord Fcrrars, the hero, he is almost a rival of the admirable Crichton, or the marvellous Sidonia. " Ah," exclaims a friend, "Sardanapalus is a wonderful man, that I iniy witness of him having known him his life ; he plays each part arlinirably —younger son, soldier, diplomatist, traveller, statesman, nobleman, millionaire, boy, youth, and man—he acts all well." It is in the very climax of his greatness, in the " September" of his fruitful career that the reader, like La - ly Emma, first makes acquaintance with this preux cheva lier. The fair lady first encounters him at a dinner party, when, unconsciously seated by his side, she looks around the table and inquires of her agreeable companion which of the guests is the Lord Ferrara of whom she has heard so much, and whom she so much desires to see. After this propitious commencement the interest of the story never flags. The plot is in no way sen. sational, and is not even in any way complicated or exciting, but from first to last the whole story is lively and interesting, and possesses a freshness and originality of manner which impart to it a parti cular attraction. The scene is laid exclusively in the high-world. Lords and ladies and political cele brities meet us at every page. The first chapter de setibes as the most enviable of stations that of an English nobleman, and the author remarks that, generally speaking, noble lords fulfil their duties, and perhaps do more than is required of them, adding —" In short, democrats, if you abolish them, you will have to make ample provision for somebody to do the work which they now perform gratuitously." Of that hypothetical time the writer jocularly speaks as " an epoch in our history when Bright's daring theory of numbers shill be triumphant —when ladies will have to sing small and lords vanish—when Llwe, after being lynclael, will eventually be cano nised, &c." Amid these political pleasantries and serio-comic sarcasms we sometimes lig ht upon some " o'er true" remark, as, when alluding to a Ministerial crisis, the author very happily re minds us that " to the Whigs belong professions and no performance; to the Tories, performance not only without profession, but generally contrary to every profession they h ave mad e !" T here is occasionally visible a certain degree of carelessness in the style and in the arrangement of the story, but, notwithstanding those blemishes, " May and September" is pleasant to read, and will amuse and interest many. Martin Chuzzlewit. One Vol. Chapman and Hall. Another volume of " The Charles Dickens Edition" of the works of fiction penned by the greatest of all our English Humorists has duly math its ap pearance, according to announcement. " Pickwick" has been followed up by " Martin Chuzzlewit." Another masterpiece of creative humour has been placed within reach of the great mass of the read ing public, in a single volume, beautifully printed on good paper, in excellent type, the text being adorned with eight of the choicest etchings selected from among theoriginal illustrations of the work by Noticeable among these eight—those having especial reference to Mrs. Gamp : first of all the ono revealing to us Mr. Pecksniff knocking at the door of her dMnicile in Kingsgate-street, High Holborn—secondly, Airs. Gamp having an eye to the future—thirdly, Mrs. Gamp and her " fre quend pardner" holding high festival together in the former's bed-chamber, on the memorable evening on which that most objectionable of females, Batsy Prig, avows her incredulity in the existence of Mrs. Harris. The mere cartoons thus deftly pen cilled by " Phiz" have about &them an almost historical importance. But the letter-press to which these comical etchings are but the mere accessories —to have all that compacted together in a volume at once so wonderfully cheap and so admirable in its legibility,—that, indeed, is a boon for which all true lovers of imaginative literature have rea son to be grateful. Among all the more highly-elaborated fictions of Charles Dickens, " Martin Chuzzlewit" is, perhaps without any exception, the most remarkable, as evidencing his creative power, as the imaginer of entirely original characters. Instance this—Mr. Pecksniff—Mrs. Gamp—Tom Pinch—Bailey Junior—Jonas Chuz zlewit—Mont tgue Tigg— Old Chuffey Betsy Prig—Nadgett—M. Todgers—Mark Tapley—and beat of all, that dream within a dream, that fiction within a fiction, that airy nothing born of Mrs. Gamp's imagination—Airs. Harris. As a whole, Martin Chuzzlewit" is about the finest exemplar that could be adduced, as affording signal, abun dant, and conclusive evidence of the intense originality of the genius of Charles Dickens. ied WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

On the whole the trade was steady and prices ruled firm, whilst in some instances a slight ad vance was obtained. Flour supported its previous value, with a moderato demand. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were unaltered in price. On the Continent there was a moderate inquiry for most descriptions on former terms. The imports of foreign wheat, &,!., into London last week consisted of 21,493 qrs. of wheat, 3,985 barley, 68,204 oats, 5,140 peas, 1,210 linseed, 19 851 rapeseed, 400 520 sundry seeds, and 873 cwts of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was on eat() hero to-day, but its general condition was good. Although the demand was far from active, factors succeeded in obtaining an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. In foreign wheat the transactions were on a very mode rato scale; nevertheless really fine samples produced is per quarter more money. In the value of other kinds scarcely any change took place. Scarcely any English barley was on the stands, and the supply foreign was limited. The trade may be considered steady, at previous rates. . _ Malt was in full average supply and fair request, at last week's currency. The show of foreign oats was largo. Selected parcels sold at full quotations. Peas changed hands slowly, but at full quotations. The demand for flour was inactive. Prices, however, were supported. In seeds very little was doing at late rates. Cakes wore very dull but not cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMP.

About an average supply of foreign stock was on offer here to-day, in but middling condition. The demand for it was inactive, nevertheless prices were supported. Compared with Monday last there was a considerable falling off in the arrivals of English beasts, and nearly all breeds made their appearance somewhat out of condition. For Scots and crosses there was a fair demand, at last week's currency, but prime Devons, Herefords, &c., as well as short horns, produced 2d. per 8143. more money and a good clearance was effect.d. From Lincolnshire, Loicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,200 short horns, &c., from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; and from Scotland, 24 Scots and crosses. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was only mode rate, all breeds met a slow inquiry, at prices about equal to this day so'nnight. The top quotations for Downs and crosses was ss. 2d. per 81bs. The quality of most breeds was rather inferior. Lambs were in fair average supply, and sluggish re quest, at late rates, vie., from ss. 81. to 6s. 81. per 81bs.

Duckworth officiated. Archbishop Manning and the Address to the Pope. -~--- TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As you have conveyed to your numerous readers the truest as well as the most eloquent de scription of the great festival of the Centenary of St. Peter allow me to thank you for it, and to direct your attention to some erroneous statements which have appeared in various journals respecting the compilation of the Address presented on the Ist of July to his Holiness by the assembled Bishops. According to those statements the draught of the address was prepared by Atehbishop Manning, and gave rise to debates in which the majority of the bishops, and especially of the English bishops, de cided by their votes that certain passages reflecting on the Czar of Russia and on Victor Emmanuel, and in praise of the Roman people, should be struck out of the draught. These statements are in every particular incorrect. By sending a special correspndent to Rome on this important occasion you have evidently antici pated the desire of the public to be fully informed of the chief events that marked it ; and you will perhaps allow me, as having been present and en gaged in the preparation of the address, to offer a statement of facts which, through your columns, will reach the eyes of those who may have been misled by the correspondents or writers in other papers. When an address was projected the bishops of each nation deputed one or more of their number to represent them in a commission, to which body the duty of preparing the address was to be intrusted. The English bishops, eight in number, unanimously selected their archbishop as their leading represen tative, communicating verbally, and not in writing, to him and to myself as his colleague their views as to the subjects that would probably be mentioned in the address. They had occasion to state their opinions on other important matters through the archbishop, and, throughout, the most perfect harmony of opinion existed between him and his colleagues. When the deputies of the different nations met on the 22d of June Cardinal de Angelis, as senior by consecration, read a draught of 15 points, which were proposed as the basis of the address. This draught had been prepared by a Roman prelate of high standing under his auspices, and was in Italia°. Some of the bishops wished to hear it read in Latin. It was, therefore, read in Latin first by the Cardinal Bishop of Besangon, and afterwards by the Arch' bishop of Colocza in Hungary. It was at one° unanimously adopted, the Bishop of Gran Varadino , of the Oriental rite, suggesting that the address should contain au expression of the gratitude of the Orientals for the unvarying kindness with which Pius IX. had treated them ever since his election . Following the precedent of 1862 it was then resolved six prelates, w ith C ar di na l d e A nge li s a t their head, should frame the address, and read it on th e following Wednesday, the 26th of June, to th e General Commission. The Sub-commission rc quested the Archbishop of Colocza and the Arch bishop of Thessalonica to take the 15 heads approved by the general commission, and to draw up a ° address founded u p on th em. After two d ays their draught was printed, and with a few verbal al terations was the same which was signed and Pre sented to his Holiness. Neither in the heads, ne r e in the address, was a wor d conta i ne d e i t h e r 01 the Czar of Russia or of Victor Emmanuel, and the passage relating to the loyalty of the Romans stands in substance now as it stood then. The address was unanimously accepted by the whole commission' No division or voting ou any portion of it was 5° much as proposed. The whole commission felt that it correctly and completely expressed the meaning of the draught read by the Cardinal President. It wa s engrossed and signed on the 27th and 28th. I trust that the prominence which has been give n to the Roman letters in all the leading newspape rs will be my excuse for troubling you with these de tails in order that the truth may be fully known ; and that it may be evident that the external splew dour and religious magnificence portrayed in you r columns were not more wonderful than the coin; plete harmony that united bishops and clergy and laymen with their spiritual head during this solemn celebration. The address was at once signed by all the bishop s in Rome—that is, by more than one-half of th e whole number of bishops in the Catholic world.
