ROME.
It appears byte last letters from tkat
the bishops, though agreed to support the tetifforid
power, quarrelled a good deal about their address to
the Pope. A party proposed that the document
should be drawn up at Cardinal Wiseman's lodgings,
but this being strenuously opposed by the French
bishops the meeting was held at the Wile's ea
being neutral ground. Cardinal Wiseman read
the draft of an address in which not a word was
said about France, but the Bishop of Orleans
warmly resented the omission, and claimed
for France the honour of having restored the
papacy. The Spanish cardinals hereupon betrayed
great irritation, and tried to get a paragraph of
their own inserted in the address, but the assembly
would not listen to them. The Archbishop of
Transylvania made a speech to show that Austria
bad been a most effective supporter of the Pope.
Great wrangling and confusion followed. It is
not stated bow the majority which ultimately
settled the address was constituted.

/HZ -INTERNIT4ONAL EXHIBITION.

If any Ole of her M.sierty's subjects ought to be
especially anxious about the weather it should be'
theßoyalCommissioners far thelnternational Exhi-
bition, seeing that the difference between a fine and
a wet day costs them from seven hundred to a
thousand pounds, or about a hundred pounds a I
shower, taking yesterday's average of rainfall. The
pursuit of knowledge under difficulties was never
more forcibly exemplified than in the struggles which
people bad to make to reach Kensington without
being wet to the skin ; and, oh, how much worse was
it to get home again under anything like similar coo-
ditious. In the morning intending visitors could,
more or lees, choose their time for starting, but in
the evening there was nothing for it but, when
turned out, to wait in the open road, bide the piti-
less pelting of the storm, and patiently and respect-
fully await the pleasure of their high mighti-
peewee the omnibus conductors and cabmen. Of the
former there is not much complaint to be made ex-
cept that there is not half enough of them. The
vehicles are filled the moment they arrive at the
rank, and very often before, for people wait at,
the point at which they set own and come round
in them. Yesterday the conductors practised on
these " early birds" what may be considered a ver7
excusable bit of sharp practice. They allowed their
impatient customers very quietly to get in, and then
charged them both the up and down fares, which
they were fully entitled to do, and the people who
were so anxious to forestall their less active neigh-
bours had no right to complain. But Las for the
cabmen, they are completely running riot, and their
insolence is intolerable. They set the police at
defiance, and will only take up when, who, and
how they like. It appears that when driving along
they are not compelled to answer a call, the
supposition being that they are engaged,
and accordingly they may be seen each evening
thundering down in hundreds like a cloud of
Cossacks, and merely making contemptuous ges-
tures to anyone who may be presumptuous enough
to hail them from the roadside. They are ably
abetted by a number of street Arabs who infest the
Exhibition, who, when the people begin to depart,
sally down the road, each take possession of a cab
and drive up to the doors, where they select their
company and make their own terms. As they sit
inside coming down, the cab has the appearance of
being engaged, and it is also "engaged' when they
arrive at the doors to any applications from parties
of less than four persons. The storiesof the extortions
of this fraternity of worthies are innumerable, and if
something be not done to produce a better state of
things they must have &serious effect upon the re-
venue of the Exhibition. Friday and Saturday
company, upon hearing of the difficulties and im-
positions that beset a visit, will begin to think the
game not worth the candle and will stay away
rather than run the risk of being bullied and im-
posed on, or of having to walk home in the rain, es
hundreds of elegantly dressed ladies had to do yes-
terday evening.
Among the earliest visitors were their Royal
Highnesses the Princess Alice, Prince Arthur,
Prince Leopold, and his Serene Highness Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar. During all the
time the building has been opened the
junior members of the royal family have,
with one exception, always visited it on shilling
days. Yesterday they remained in from the
morning till late in the afternoon. Apparently,
they passed about from case to case totally
unrecognised by the great mass of visitors, and
were thus left free to make their examinations
without the hindrance that would naturally have
arisen from any display of public curiosity to see
the royal children. The Pacha of Egypt, attended
by a large suite, was also early in the building,
hurrying as usual from court to court and stall to
stall, seeing as much as possible in the shortest
space of time.
An interesting visit of the day was
that of a party of three hundred Aus-
trians, who, having come over from Pans by
the previous night's express, descended upon the
building in the morning, in a perfect cavalcade of
omnibuses. They appeared to be all of the citizen
clam, and were regularly organised under four
directors, who seemed to be responsible for their
safe keeping. They announced their intention of
giving the Exhibition a week, and stated that they
were only the advanced guard of thousands of
foreigners from various parts of Europe who are
now en route for Loudon, bound on the same
errand as themselves. The next collective visit con-
sisted of 160 of the employs of the North Western
Hallway, franked in by Mr. Cochrane, and they
were followed by several schools of more or less

importance.
From the official return it appears that the num-
ber of visitors was—By seaaou tickets, 2,866; by
payment, 36,432 ; total, 39,297.
