Bank having been broken on Sunday last, I am enabled to
give the true vereloa of the cue, which is simple in the
extreme. This night week two young gentlemen arrived

the usual satisfaction wee violable among the crowd,

Salmon are increasing in numbers in the river
Teat, in Haste, while the famous Woodmill, or River
Itches whops in the same county are decreuisg. Both
these rivers empty themselves into Southampton Water.
The Test passes through Broedlande. the seat of Lord
Palmerston. Her Majesty visited Woodinill some years
ago and caught 60121111 fish there. At one time the Wind-
mill salmon preserve yielded 5001. a year. This was before
the gas works were erected oe the basics of the Itches.
The Avon river, near Chriataborch, in Hants, sow yields
a large number of salmon, and their Savour is equal to that
of Woodmill salmon.

A letter from Rome of the 15th eaya :—" The
Pope arrived safely en Wednesday wooing at Castel Gee-
dolfo, wham Cardinals Altisri, Di Pietro, Villecourt. end
De Lena were waiting to receive him at the parish church.
His Holiness aceepted the homage of the local eoclesiutical
authorities and the governor of the town on entering the
palace. Pie None is said to have declined hastily the offer
of the railway directors to have a special train in readi-
ness to convey him and his suite as far as the Fratocchie,
his Holiness declaring that he would rather go on
foot, in consequence, doubtless, of the accidents which
have recently occurred on some of the Roman lines.
He will not certainly have repented of this determination
on hearing that on that same afternoon the express trait'
from Naples ran off the rails at the station at Ferecitioo,
injuring the locomotive, tender, and luggage-van, but fortu-
nately causing no lose of life, elthough a greet loss of time
!to the traveller'. To-morrow the Pop* is to say meta at

expressed his thanks for the remarkable kindness which
the electors of Harylebone had shown him. He absolutely
disclaimed baying said or done anything during the contest
which could cause bitterneu of feeling. This day three
weeks he had no eintoeption that they would have

devolved upon him was one which he felt he was Made-
