Our correspondent at Rome, writing on Februttryll,Rays that the abstraction of documents, and their communica• tion to the Augsburg Gazette, is attributed here to the secretary of one of the leading German cardinals, and has created a great sensation. The theologian has been s3verely reprimanded, and it is probable will be required to leave Rome after such a breach of his oath. The s3rious business of the Council is only commencing. Up to Saturday the Fathers had held twenty-one private sessions, and ninety-nine of them had addressed the as sembly. As a matter of course, a great number will not speak at all ; but on a very moderate computation, there ie little hope that the assembly can get through the enor mous arrear of work since the Council of Trent in one year. Monseigneur Dupanloup is, as before, the soul of the opposition, and his press of business is so groat as to keep two secretaries in constant employment, as he sends s3veral hundred letters a day. No telegrams relating to the Council are allowed to be sent by any one ; and no 13tter, pamphlet, or book bearing on it, either in a favour able or adverse sense, is allowed to be printed in Rome, which accounts for Mgr. Deschamps and Mgr. Dupanloup alike having had recourse to the Parisian press. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEtiatiAßY 16, 1870.

The Pope was said to be much overdone last week, aid looked pale and worn at the general audience a few days ago. " Ile was, however," says a correspondent, " per fectly well on Friday, and drove to the Vatican, and here he got out and walked some time, how rapidly and vigorously, those who saw him can testify, and but for the traditional Annus Petri,' I should give him ten years of life from his appearance." The speculations as to the possible suc cessor of Pius IX. are beginning to be heard. Cardinal do Angeli's age and increasing infirmities render such a choice a very improbable one, and the " Cardinali Pap pegg,ianti " are said to be Bilio, a young, learned, and very austere Barnabite, a Piedmontese by birth, and a remarkably capable and farseeing man ; and Panchiamo, the Grand Penitentiary, also favourably known for his spotless life, his learning, and remarkable energy of character. Either of these would be men of mark in their age, but nothing can of course be even guessed on the matter. An old prediction attributed to St. Leonard of Port Maurice, says that the coming Pope will be a Francis can, and this circumstance now leads to a popular idea that Cardinal Panchiamo, who, in addition to his personal qualities, belongs to that ancient order, will be chosen. France and Austria have already, thus much is known, come to an understanding as to their respective vetos, each great Catholic power having the right to exclude one can didate to the named, however, before the entry of the Sacred College into conclave. In the case of the present Pope, who was expressly vetoed by Austria, neither of the couriers entrusted with despatches, arrived in time to stop his election. THE CESSION OF GIBRALTAR. The Spaniards do not appear to have abandoned all hopes of the cession of Gibraltar by England. We learn from the Madrid journals that several inhabitants of Malaga have petitioned the Government to open negotiations with the Government of Great Britain for the surrender of Gibralter to Spain, the sup porters of the movement - promising to raise a national subscription if it is necessary to compensate Gibraltar for any pecuniary sacrifice.' MARSHAL PRIM ANT) THE SPANISH THRONE. A letter from Marshal Prim has been published in some of the French papers, addressed to a writer whose name is not given, but who had tried to elicit his views on the can didature of the Prince of the Asturias. 'The letter, which is dated Madrid, February 4th, states positively that the Marshal will take no part whatever in any movement which has for its object the restoration of the dynasty dethroned in September, 1868. ITALIAN VIEWS OF FRENCH AFFAIRS. Some of the Italian journals pass a very unfavourable opinion on the recent disturbances in Paris. The .?Taptcs Journal declares that the French Government must be congratulated on having so speedily repressed an enieute that had no foundation, and trusts that all similar riots may be as effectually disposed of. The well being of France and the honour of the con stitutional .regime call for the peaceful inauguration of the Liberal era. The Ga:ette of Venice says that the brothers of Paris have not set a good example to the brothers of Milan, whose projected manifestation has failed. The Italian people were by no means disposed to make a disturbance because of the outbreak at Paris, and still less when it was evident that the French agitation was a fictitious one. Thu Turin. Gazette affirms that it is too great a friend to civil progress to sympathise with the disturbances at Paris. The Imperial Government has recently conceded great liberties to France, and France is intent on experimenting the new regime. What business, then, have theso rioters to interfere with the progress of social reforms ? They belong to the extreme party, who will, in all probability, injure the noble cause they pretend to serve, and of which they have shewn them selves so unworthy. At any rate the cause of liberty suffers from their attacks, and a cure must be found some where for the evils. It will be advisable to check their efforts, and to put a stop to the deplorable strife which has already lasted too long, and occasioned the ridicule of the Ultramontanes and the absolutists. , THE COLD IN PARIS. During the last week the cold has increased with staff) ling rapidity in Paris. On Saturday the temperature at Montsouris was eleven degrees centigrade. The tempera ture of the water of the Seine on Friday was two degrees above zero, which proved that the extreme cold had not reached its depths, but in consequence of the extreme weather of Saturday the Seine was filled with enormous pieces of ice. The Gaulois announces that the skating club has fixed its grand fete for the 17th of February, but some people think it would have been wiser to have selected an earlier day. The temperature of Paris on the night of Thursday to Friday was the lowest of all the chief points in Western Europe. One of the French papers tells an amusing anecdote in connection with the frost. A writer in describing the cold which prevailed in the year 1434, said that the mercury varied between 18 and 19 degrees, for getting that at the period referred to, the thermometer was not invented. THE MURDERER OF THE FRENCH POLICE AGENT. The Moniteur Universel gives the following account of Megy, who killed the police agent in Paris. Leon Guillaume Edmond MCgy, working mechanic, is 26 years old, and has lived in the Rue des Monies during the last six months. Formerly he lived with his father. He had been en gaged for two years in the workshop of M. Gouin, Rue de Clichy, where he was employed chiefly in the construction of locomotives, and easily earned 10f. a day, being a clever workman. He has borne an excellent character, being rarely missing from his post, and keeping his political opinions to himself. He was one of the first workmen who went to Cairo to take part in the works for the Suez canal. He is imprisoned at La Sante, on a charge of voluntary homicide. , A LONG SEA VOYAGE. The " Friend of India " calls attention to the list of ships at sea, bound to Calcutta, and the number of days they have been out, corrected to the 6th of January, and declares that it is suggestive of the good old times in India, when it was just possible to receive a reply to a home letter withen the twelvemonth—the Ocean, 224 days ; the Ravensdale, 225 days ; the Cadet, 203 days ; the Middle sex, 155 days ; the Augusta, 142 days. And we presume to sneer at the good old days ! What chance has the Suez Canal against the Cape route ? None, absolutely none -244 days from London, and the good ship Ocean still at sea. EXETER CATHEDRAL.—The Dean and Chapter oi Exeter Cathedral have just approved plans, prepared by Mr. Gilbert Scott, for the renovation of the building. The work is to be commenced forthwith, the choir being closed for the purpose. The choir aisles are to be seated, which has long been talked of ; the choir itself being far too small to accommodate the congregations at the morn ing services. The present division of the cathedral by the massive antique and curious screen into two Nil. tually distinct churches will, according to the plans passed, be adhered to. The Dean and Chapter have decided that the western facade shall not be touched, as to attempt the renovation of the ancient figures of saints in the niches would be the destruction of the architectural features of the building. The subscriptions already raised towards meet ing the expenses amount to several thousand po,lnds. The Exeter Diocesan Archzelogical Society entirely disv proves of Mr. Scott's plans, and have sent a protest to the dean and chapter against their adoption. It is conteud.d that the plans disregard the first principles of ecclesia logical church restoration. The naves and choir. 3 of cathedrals, ought, it is sail, to he used simultaneously for divine service, the choirs being cet apart for the clergy, and the naves for the general congregation, as is the case with the cathedrals of Ely, Lichfield, and Hereford_ ----- rile very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by Meseis.
