So much disappointment exists at the inability cf the Admiralty to accommodate the numerous applicants who desire to witness the national spectacle, that a few gentlemen hare chartered the splendid paddle-steamer PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM, from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, to enable a select p art y to accompany the Fleet to sea, and view the evolutions and illuminations. As the number must be limited, an immediate application is necessary. The vessel will leave Dover harbour on Tuesday even ing, at 7 p.m, calling at Portsmouth at 9 a.m., and Ryde at 10 a.m. ou Wednesday morning, and those who are de sirens of steaming round may do so, and sleep on board. The comfort of the passengers in the refreshment de partment is aniply secured by the arrangements already made with Mr. Perrett, proprietor of the restaurants, Lon don-bridge Railway', and Broad-street Termini, under the superintendence of his manager, Mr. Higgs.

The country markets held on Saturday were scantily, supplied with wheat. On the wholethe trade was steady and prices ruled firm, whilst in some instances a slight ad vance was obtained. Flour supported its previous value, with a moderate 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, Sce., into London last week consisted of 24,493 qrs. of wheat, 3,985 barley, 68,204 oats, 5,140 peas, 1,210 linseed, 19 851 raposeed„4 00 maize, 520 sundry seeds, and 873 cwts of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was on d a to 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; novertheless really firm samples produced 1s per quarter more money. In the value of other kinds scarcely any change took place. _ Scarcely any English barley was on tho stands, and tho supply foreign was limited. Tho trade may be considered steady, at previous rates. . Milt was in full average supply and fair request, at las week's currency. The show of foreign oats was large. Solected parcels sold at full quotations. Peas changed hands slowly, but at full quotations. Tho demand for flour was inactive. Prices, however, were supported. In seeds very little was doing at late rates. Oakes were very dull but not cheaper. 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 the Bill reached the House of Lords at an earlier period of the session, and after it had been subjected to less criticism in the Lower House, no doubt a good deal more would have been said and done in the way of comment, if not of active hostility. Earl RUSSELL must feel, however, that at the present juncture his occupation is gone, and that the Representation of the People Bill is in many respects the thing accomplished. 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 h Com mons. It is n o exagerat i on to say that great te credt is due to the House itself for the consistent course it has pursued through trying circumstances, and the chances and changes of art eventful Session. No doubt when all is over, and the bill has been sent up in due coarse, 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 independqnt 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 it will not do to overlook its importance just *now 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 it seem not a little strange to him to find himself in the midst of railways and steamboats, and all the etceteras of Engli-h civilisation. Not that such things are 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 ,natnhdelamllop s e dt rial guest. On Saturday the rigid ue po o m b p s e r a v n a d n c c e e s r o e m f 0 0 n r y i e nht has s l cewot waited D a q i t u p e l e d y t t with the m o e 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 after 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 diplomatique 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 palaces 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. Thursday 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 Englan,!, the Post-office, &c., and afterwardssdao Saturday, ritdeavyi,ewi a t, t i t ss e o nd btehl ia t e h tv e ball at et dh,erhe ewwi li the l ibe ln attend iidoiiaa thecHu koolfsvevi.

No day is is visit only seco n d as l y i e i t e fi v x i e e d e rfooyr of t h f e E S a i l i . l p t T a , n N‘ 's departure. . hose a 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 HIGH 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 be no lack of hospitality in his regard. The Prince of WALES must find the duties of hospitality just now rather arduous, in spite of hia 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 peabiof thunder which almost drowned the speaker's voice. The Prince, however, is too gooi an Englishman to be daunted by difficulties, and borrowiug 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 iu 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 of prizes,being intended for the Paris Exhibi tion. However, the Belgians have plenty to look at, and 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. The 3d Battalion of the Lancashire Royal Volun teers have recently been encamping near Lytham, and on Sunday, the 7th inst., at the suggestion of Colonel Hargreaves, the commanding officer of the battalion, Chap lain Canon Parker preached a sermon on behalf of the National Lifeboat Institution, which resulted in the hand some sum of £2O 103. being handed to the society. Last year, at the kind request of Col. Hargreaves, a sum of 16 guiacia4 We. contributed by higi cacto and men. On Friday 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 d the Government, which it expressed in its address. The Government promised to endeavour 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 cleated 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 Prance at Tunis, had the honour of being presented to the Bey, with the accustomed ceremonial by M. Duchesne de • 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 t ea h na e ddpaayrt‘ splendidvi c h u e l n ar t l h y e by horse,Sultanwhich tein wweanst Emperor.mt o n t hl h ,eh admire ereview under the name of Cou n t d e B ec k as k oy. h b e y O r a o n l 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, son 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 21 s t o f A ugust t h e fi rm ament will present a curious ph enomena, w hich can only be seen twice. The pl ane t J up i ter w ill a ppear for two hours unaccompanied by it s sa t e llites. 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 21 's. The quantity of silver in the lead of these mines is not large, 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 reference to that part of the speech of the King of Denmar k on the close of the ses sion of the Rigsrad , in which he speaks of " pre senthave dbieffionculties," says—" These difficulties wou ld removed long ago if the P russ i an Go vernment had executed article 5 of the Treaty of Prague, and if it had not adopted useless chicanery." I have already mentioned that one of the pre pretexts 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 Bismark, in order to enable him to dispense with the provisions of the Treaty in regard to the Duchiee." The project of an International Literary Con gress will now be carried out, and arrangements for its organisation are in progress by the committee of the Society of the " Gens do 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 Diplomatique contradicts the re portltahtee d a , u b e s u t t i o is o o o f f o d p e i n v i n o r n i n t g h a i t t t u h p e that the body of Maximili an had been mud mend.

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. ROUIIER 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. "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 a;..,t of the ENtrEnna'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 etsy 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. ROUIIER 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 he interests of France. •when we naturally sum up the work of the session, wd decide upon the merits of the various claimants. It 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 have been tolerably quiescent ; but why so ? Be cause the House had divided against them, and they were 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 have 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. Ilad the machinations of last April bean 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. Palmarn qui meruit ferat 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. CORRESPONDENCE PRUE PARIS.

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 And heroine of this story. Lady Emma Vero 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 sof ness that was all about her ; she could not have been loud or boisterous, any more than she could have been rough or rude ; her floating, sailing motion was not more attractive than the sweet tones in which she spoke." As for Lord Ferrars, 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 may witness of him having known him all his life ; he plays each part admirably —younger son, soldier, diplomatist, traveller, statesman, nobleman, millionaire, boy, youth, ►nd 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 Lady 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. Lards and ladies and political cele brities meet us at every page. The first chapter de actibos 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 require I of them, adding —" In short, democrats, if you abolish them, you will have to make ample provision for somebody to lo the work which they now perform gratuitously." Of that hypothetical time the writer jocularly sp mks as " an epoch in our history when Bright's daring theory of numbers shall be triumphant—when ladies will have to sing small and lords vanish—when Lowe, after being lynched, will eventually be cano nised, &c." Amid these political pleasantries and serio-comic sarcasms we sometimes lig lit upon some " o'er true" remark, as, when alluding to a Ministerial crisis, the author very happily re min Is us that " to the Whigs belong professions and no performance; to the Tories, performance not only without profession, but generally contrary to every professio❑ they have made I" There is occasionally visible a certain degree of carelessness in the style and in the arrangement of the story, but, notwithstanding these blemishes, " May and September" is pleasant to read, and will amuse and interest many. Martin Chuzzlewit. One Vol. Chapman and Ha.. Another volume of "The Charles Dickens Edition' of the works of fiction penned by the greatest o all our English Humorists has duly made its ap pearance, according to announcement. " Pickwick' has been folio wei 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 typ e , t h e text being adorned with eight of the choicest etchings selected from among the original illustrations of the work by It Phis." Noticeable among these eight—those having especial reference to Mrs. Gimp : first of all the one revealing to us Mr. Pecksniff knocking at the door of her domicile in Kingsgate-street, nigh Holborn—secondly, Mrs. Gimp having an eye to the future—thirdly, Airs. 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, Betsy Prig, avows her incredulity in the existence of Mrs. Harris. The mere cartoons thus deftly pen cilled by " Phiz" h ave a b out ithem an almost historical importance. But the letter-press to which these comical etchings are but the more accessories —to have all that compacted together in a volumo 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—Montague Tigg—Old Chuffey Betsy Prig—Naigett--M. Todgers—Mark Tapley—and best of all, that dream within a dream, that fiction within a fiction, that airy nothing born of Mrs. Camp's imagination —Mrs. 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.

Duck worth officiated. Archbishop Manning and the Address to the Pope. T-- ' TO TIIE 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 Archbishop 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 Italian. Some of the bishops wished to hear it read in Latin . It was, therefore, read in Latin first by the Cardinal Bishop of Besancon, and afterwards by the Arch bishop of Colocza in Hungary. It was at once unanimously adopted, the Bishop of Gran Varadino, of the Oriental rite, suggesting that the address should contain an 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 that six prelates, with Cardinal de Angelis at their head, should frame the address, and read it on the following Wednesday, the 26th of June, to the General Commission. The Sub-commission re 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 an address founded upon them. After two days 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, nor in the address, was a word contained either of 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 on any portion of it was so much as proposed. The whole commission felt that it correctly and completely expressed the meaning of the draught read by the Cardinal President. It was engrossed and signed on the 27th and 28th. I trust that the prominence which has been given to the Roman letters in all the leading newspapers 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 splen dour and religious magnificence portrayed in your columns were not more wonderful than the com 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 bishops in Rome—that is, by more than one-half of the whole number of bishops in the Catholic world.
