will tend to prenele the cor-
dial feeling between the Orolenteers and t,t!, re-
gular military force, Ada ought t 6 exist
between them. The Volunteers are, even on
professional grounds, justly entitled to confidence
and respect, and may therefore fairly claim not
oily recognition, but friendly consideration at
the hands of the military authorities. On the
other hand, the authorities having never shown
the least desire to interfere with the real in-

dependence or freedom of the movement, are
fully entitled tothe confidence of the Volunteers.
The Review of to-day must powerfully contribute
to establish on • lasting basis this feeling of mutual
cosindence, cordiality, and respect.
It will also of necessity help to impart addi-
tional vigour and animation to the whole move-
ment. A field-day on such a magnificent scale
cannot but give an impulse to the force in
every part of the kingdom. It seems that an
enormous number of visitors of all ranks and
classes, and from various parts of the kingdom,
have assembled to witness the Review. As many
as sixty thousand had already arrived
on Saturday, and each a number of spectators
represents a social and moral power of no inconsi-
derable amount. A Volunteer force rests of course,
in the last resort, on public opinion and patriotic
feeling ; and the stronger the popular opinion
of its real value becomes, the greater is the assur-
ance of its efficiency and success as • permanent
element of national defence. The Review of to-
day will in this respect, too, be a great national
gain. It will help to show the country the value
of the Volunteers, as well as to convince the
Volunteers that they are appreciated by the country.
And • national holiday could hardly be turned
to better account than in helping to further such •
thoroughly national object.

• ITALY
A • ROME, Lem 5.
The departire of the -,Sipsio for Russia is
said to be adjourned Uwe Xs, in consequence
of certain terms proposed by the court of
Rome to that of St. Petersburg having been
refused. If the Holy See should many suc-
ceed in establishing an embassy in Russia, it
will have gained a great victory, for the diffi-
culties in the way are many and serious. In
1783 Mgr. Archetti went to Russia as Nuncio,
and was well received at first, but he found him-
self obliged to come away a few months afterwards.
The Duke Proto de Maddaloni, ex-deputy of
the Italian parliament,is now here, and has become
reconciled with his old master, Francis U.
The annual medal distributed on the feast of St.
Peter is this year, very appropriately, struck as a
representation of the St. Peter's penny.
The Pope has given a silver medal to the lads
who formed part of the choruses on Palm Sunday.
The Roman people, who seldom miss an Oppor-
tunity to invent an epithet against the govern-
ment, have already named these medallists Knights
of the Order of Bawlers
