ROME.

The Pope, on the anniversary of his election,
delivered an address to the Cardinals. Ile said :
—"Rome must be a holy spot. The sanctity
itself of the ground we tread imposes upon each of
us the duty of edifying the world by his exaniple.
God weighs in the balance of justice our sufferings
and our acts. May it be said of modern Rome :
what she does not possess by arms she holds by
religion." On this occasion the l'ope has accorded
an amnesty to all prisoners, excepting those con-
demned for theft or forgery- having less than six
months to suffer ; those whose sentences have
further to run will have one-third of the period
deducted, provided it dues not excc,sl y,•
Political prisoners are included in the act of cle-
mency.

THE ROMAN CARDINALS, BY ONE Ok"

THEMSELVES.

M. Eidan, the Italian correspondent of the.
Tampa, and an intimate friend of the late Cardinal
Andrea, is said to possess several p:gx•rs in the
handwriting of the late cardinal. lie communi-
cated some of these notes to an advocate w'ao has
just published a work on the cardinal. Of the
cardinals in general he says, " They are almost all
black and absolutist in opinion."

Cardinal Iteisach—ln respect for the Jeciite he is
one of the blackest of all. Hu is one of the prineijul
authors of the syllabus. Cardinal Barn iho—ldes an ile
to the Papacy, but will never succc..l.
hypocritical, and mediocre. Patrizzi—ln reality an arrant
fool. Torsi—Archbishop of Pisa, essentially film k, and
a downright enemy of Italy. Paunebiauce—l3 ex-
tremely anxious for the I'apacy ; but (Juidi, who is
an abler man, has a better chance. There is
reason to believe that the next Pope will b 3 a
monk--Ouidi the Dominican, or Pannebianco the Cur-
defier. This Paunebianco is a Sicilian. lie is a
Sixtus Quintus. He keeps himself in the back ground,
and in reserve. Of all the Sacred College he is the member
whose secret iutrigues require most watching. Ho says
he is quite black, but in reality he is capable of becoming
a Clement XIV. He does not like the Jesuits. In fact,
no monk does ; thut is the ride. There are two men
in the household who are indispensable to the
Pope—Mgr. Cenni, his trainbearer, and Filippani, a laie.
Antonelli has always the same confessor as the Pope. If
the Pope changes, be changes also. The present sonic •sor
[1066] is the Jesuit hither Migitardi ; a geed man, cold, a
censor of the prelates whose little scandals he ferrets out,
in conjunction with Mgr. Cenni. The Pope listens to the
gravest charges of immorality, requires to be told the
minutest details, but never takes severe measures. There
are at least 20 prelates whose lives arc a scandal. In
general, the clergy are more pure than is believed. The
prelates who give most scandal by their ecceutric imme-
talities are three. The Pope is perfectly aware of this.
There are thirty pages of notes in the same
style.

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY BY
FIRE AT BPRMFN.
BREMEN, Ram 23. _ _ _ _

A large fire, which broke out here at 10 o'clock
yesterday forenoon, was only subdued towards
evening, after having raged about eight hours.
The conflagration began while taking cotton
samples. The Stephani Church, although
several times caught by the flames, was
ultimately saved. The warehouses belonging
to tha firms of Fritze, Boys, Oothing, . and
Son, containing cotton and considerable stocks of
fine tobaccos, were consumed. Two largo timber
yards were also destroyed. The sparks were
carried to the furthest houses in the suburbs. The
amount of damage is estimated at a million and a
half thalers, and all the principal insurance com-
panies are involved in the loss.

'Hie following is the directors' report :
"The proprietor's are already aware that a suereesful
result attended the measurer fur bringing into effect the
supplemental charter of incorporation, which continues
the valuable privilege secured to the bank for
another period of twenty-one years. The court
of directors have now to intimate that the charter
is in operation both in Australia and England.
The pant year has afforded the opportunity of thoroughly
testing the meets of the bunk, which have been mak-
farterily proved to be in a sound state. This has been
facilitated by the contraction of credit in Australia ea in
most other parts of the world. From the depreciation,
however, in the values of land, stock, and produce,
increased caution has been nectresary in the conduct
of the bunk's operations. Under these cireumstanete
the court of directors are happy to state that the
yen es accounts show en absence of loss from bail
debts, and that imiNidemble amounts have boon re-
covered from debts formerly written off as doubtful.
The directors are consequently able to announce that the
balance to the credit of profit and loss warrants them in
recommend:lig a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per
a m. free of income-tax—a decision which has been
arrived at after carefully reviewing the condition of each
account, and the general position of the Intik. There has
bet u eantit 4.1 to the reserved fund the sum of 5,890/.,
being 10 per cent. off the profits of the past year, in con-
formity with the clause of the new charter, au-
thorising the fund to be increased to 125,00 D/.
to the present capital of the batik. South Ann-
tialia, although suffering from a lsul harvest, shows
promise of improvement. The prospects in the pa..
total interests indicate better results, and trade appoars
slowly reviving. With a return of confidence and with
commerce regulated upon the basis of reduced values of
commodities, there is every reason to believe in the con.
filmed ttrospet ity of the latisk."
'I he CHAIIMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
conmitillateil the shareholders on the favourable contrast
presented between the present circumstance-, and those on
which they met lust year. There were no groat profits to
be shown, but there were very few losses. Mitch had
been recovered of debts announced as losses, and they bad
returned to the normal state of things. Every loss had been
promptly announced and promptly met. The last advice.
from the colony announced that one estate which owed
them a hime amount would pay from 40 to 50 per cent.
beyond what he estimated it would pay. At the end
of last year the business was brought down to
the lowest point, but it never was in a safer state. (Hear,
hear.) The accounts were this year presented in a new
form. The change lied the effect of throwing more light
on the state of their affairs. The business was smaller,
but the profits were larger than could be reason-
ably expected. They had 116.000/. invested in
government securities. Their landed property was put
down at 30,000/., but it was really worth double that
amount. (blear, hear.) The interest on the reserve fund
was 6,912/. The reserve fund was put down at 100.000/.,
but it would traduce 120,000/. even in a time of pressure.
The net receipts were 58,0001., out of which they
}trowel to divide 50,000/., carrying 5,890/. to increase
the reserve fund, which they pap ceusl to raise to 123,000 f.
'll.e dividends had now come back to 10 per cent., and
he holed it would never be necessary to again fall back on
the I. else tend. (Hear, hear.) The business was in a
thoroughly tide and sound position, and ho was rejoiced
to be able to make that announcement on the eve of
hi: vat Ming the chairmanship.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
JONNOSON P. LY701111.-BENTZKOS.
It this 111414 e the testator was the Env. Mario+ Tqford,
lute incumbent of St. Michael's, Shoreditch. Ile had made
two wills, the earlier of which only was forthcoming.
The questions that had arisen were whether
the evidence which had been given of the contents of the
minting instriunent was admissible ; whether it was enough
to establish that instrument; and if not whether it would
suffice to revoke the earlier will!'

Sir J. P. Wilde, in giving-lUClgment in the case this
moaning, stated that he considered the evidence given in
support of the missing will to be ailmimiblc, and to prove
the contents of that instrument, but as that instrument
involved the previous will, and us the instrument itself
was not forthcoming, the question aruae whether it had
not been destroyed for the purpose of revoking
it, in which case the court would feel con-
strained to pronounce for an intestacy. There
was nothing to show that any one hail any
interest in suppressing the instrument, and so long
u the law remained as at present respecting the
custody of wills, difficulties of the kind would continually
arise ; and under all the circumstances, ho must pronounce
fur au intestacy.

AAIMAW P. MADAN.
This was a petition by the wife for a judicial separation
on the ground of her husband's adultery. The Cale was
heard two weeks ago, when the court took time to consider
the evidence adduced on the trial. The learned judge now
stated that on carefully considering the evidence, he
found it PA full of inconsistencies that he did not believe it.
The petition would therefore he dismissed.
retinas dismissed accordingly.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE H. 11., PITCHER.

The bankrupt was a•-• ship-builder, described as of
MouthCsakley-, Chelan'. He owed to unsecured creditor.
4,423/.; Admiralty and Deptford Dockyard, 142/.;
eseditors under a deed of assignment in 1882, 21,7371.
There ate no assets. The bankrupt states that ho was
unable to carry out his deed, owing to the non-accephuteu
by the Spanish government of his tender for a large ship-
building tetanal. Hu had suffered conaiderable loss on
coutiact to raise the ship Foyle, sunk on Barking
Ledge.
On the part of the assignees it was stated that the ac-
counts were satisfactory, and no objection was offered to
the bankrupt receiving his order.
Mr. Heed opposed for creditors. There were no assets
of any kind. The bankrupt, after executing a deed in
1502, had been out of business till 1866, when he entered
into a contract for raising a sunken vessel, and ineurrel
debts of 4,0001. Mint of those debts were incurred at
Northflett, which slid not appear in the bankrupt's de-
scription.
'the bunkrept examined, deposed that hn had centraefed
debts of 21,00 u/. while currying on business at Northlt,tet
as a shipbuilder. The trustees under the deed of 184;1!
took possession of everything he had; the value would bu
shout 300/. It consisted only of furniture. Ile then went
abroad to look after some contracting. This furniture wa."
taken 1w the London and County Bank ; did not know what
had beieme of it—never iequired of the trustees. His
dads of 24.0001. were principally for goods in his trade.
He had staved in Madrid for six months. Had been in no
business till Ito took a contract for 1,500/. to raise the
Foyle; but not being able to do so, ho had not received a
farthing of the money. The debts of 4,0001. had Wee
increased in endenvounng to carry out this contract. He
haul been kept out of business by the bad state of the
I.lllp-building trade.
His Honour, in refusing the application for additional
accounts, said that the inquiry ought have been a very
proper one throe or four years ago. The creditors under
the deed had acted with their eves open ; the bankrupt
had conveyed all his property te.the trustees, and it was
open to the creditors to bring the matter before the court
at any time. The bankrupt would pass and receive his
order.

(Before Mr. TVgistrar Popp.)
IN RE BENJAMIN BENJAMIN.

The bankruptsras aWholesidel74Cot and shoe manufac-
turer, of Hackneyroad and Itasinghall-street. This was
the first sitting. The case had already been brought under
the notice of the public through a charge preferred against
the bankrupt at the Ouildhall police-court of improperly
di.posing of goods within throe mouths of his bank-
ruptcy, on which charge he had been remanded, and
remains in custody. A preliminary statement of accounts
prepared by Messrs. Smart and Snell, shows an aggregate
liability of 3.5,00 W. The assets consist principally of con-
signments to Melbourne. which are valued at upwards of
40Adlit., but as large advances have been obtained upon
them by the bankrupt, the amount to be recovered from
that source is uncertain. Mr. Walker, packer, of Trinity-
lane, was chosen assignee; and Mr. F. it. Smart, account-
ant, was appointed manager. Mr. Dimsdale, of the
l'qultry, is the solicitor to the proceedings.
