The Freeman's Journal of yesterday publishes
the following translation of a letter addressed by his Holi-
ness the Pope to the Rev. Dr. Ryan, catholic bishop of
Limerick, in reference to the contribution* to the Papal
fund in his diocese :

" Venerable Brother,—llealth and apostolic benediction.
What and how great is your faith, piety, and reverence,
and these of your clergy and faithful people, towards
us and this chair of Peter, we have known, certainly
with no slight pleasure, from other letters given to us
in the name of the same clergy and people. Since,
in the same letters, you declared your and your clergy
and people's most latter sorrow, grief, and indig-
nation on account of the truly iniquitous and sa-
crilegious attempts against our civil principality, and that
of this apostolic see, and the patrimony of Waded Peter,
undertaken by the same awe, who, being the worst encodes
of the catholic church, and of the same see, and the foes of
all justice, do not hesitate to trample on all laws, human
sad divine ; which striking manifestation, en your part,
slid that of your flock, certainly worthy of all ',flaw, were
most grateful to us, and brought on the highest connotation
in the midst of our greatest strains ; and we wish ardently
that you may manifest this, in our name, to those faithful
people, and make them aware of our paternal love towards
them. But now we behold a new testimony of your audyotw
clergy soil people's singular love and seal towards us in your
letter dated the 4th day of this month, as you sent to us
the gift which the faithful of your diocese, with yourself,
had wished to offer to us to alleviate our necessities.
Wherefore, whilst we axprcas to you the feeling of our
meet grateful mind, we entreat of you that you offer that
clergy and people, in our name, and in the amplest terms,
the thanks which are due to them, and do not cease with
your entire clergy and faithful people to Four forth
most fervent prayers to Cod, that lie may drive away so
grad and so dreadful a tempest, and watch His Holy
Church from so many wild soil great calamities and adore
it with new and more splendid triumphs, said help
and console us in all our tribulation. We are convinced
that you, venerable brother, according to your dis-
tinguiehed piety and episcopal teal, will leave nothing un-
tried in this on great iniquity of times, awl so meat war
egniumt our divine religion, by which you may defend stre-
nuously with still greater zed the cause of that religion,
and wisely and prudently watch for the adety of your fleck,
and detect the frauds of enemies, refute ermre, and repress
and crush attache. Lastly, as an augury of all heavenly
gifts, and a pledge of our special good will toward, you, we
impart to you, venerable Mother, end to all the faithful
clergy and laity committed to your care, with our whole
heart, our apootolical benediction.
"Given at Home, at St. Peter'e, 2.3n10f August, 18f0, the
fifteenth year of our pontifkate. Plea P.l'.,

When a catastrophe appears on the point of pre-
cipitating the last of the Bourbons from the throne of
Naples (says Ordignani), no one knows on what bases the
parliament will be organised, but some idea may be formed
of the state of public feeling by the list of candidates which
the union committee Las recommended to the choice of the
elector, of the Two Sicilies. There may be semi in this
list the names of Carlo Poetic. and nine other members of
the Ssrdinian Chamber ; Joseph Ricciardi and 35ernigrants
recently returned to Naples ; Luigi Judelli. a political pi i-
loner ; 21 chiefs of the Neapolitan liberal party, and four
officers of Garibaldi's army. In this list of 167 names are
also included some liberal patricians, and superior officers
of the Neapolitan army and navy, but all of liberal
opinions.
A Lonerro Vow.—General LatnoriciZwe went on

at the shrine, solemnly engaged to present there ex tofu
the sword which he now lirsindr.bes ou the Pope's behalf, am
soon as be shall have delivered the Pontifical throne from
all its enemies.
" A fact of great importance to the turf," nasa
the Rime " has just been officially announced—nnmely,
that Count F. de 1416-range anti Baron NiviZre have enteroJ
into partnership. The two stables of Royal-Lieu and La
Morlaye will nevertheless be kept on separately for some
time to come."
