A NEW PROPHETESS IN ROME.

The following proclamation was posted up in Rome on
the evening of the 9th
We, Hyacinthe de Ferrari, commissary-general of the
Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition, &e., declare
follow,s :—Whereas Catherine Fanelli, a young womart of
23 years, born in Casalviera, diocese of Sora, residing wr"
several years past at Sezza, has attempted by oleic%
rcpr....t.tiono to pawn hcrocif off as a saint,- and b!.
boasted of revelations, visions, apparitions of Jesus COT
and of the Holy Mary, and of other peculiar gifts proeee't
ingffrom the grace of God; and whereas, it is eviden
from various acts and proofs, as well as from her On
confession when on trial before the Floly Office, that the"
is only deceit, boasting, and falsity in the aforesaid revel
lations, visions, apparitions, and other matters reputedAf
as supernatural and as marks of the peculiar race of
God ; in consequence, in execution of the decree of 0
Holy Office of Feb. 4, 1857, in order to undeceive tiler
public, and remove from the minds of all any, belief to
holy character, we notify and declare that the holiness 3
the above-mentioned Catherine Fanelli is pretended an
accompanied with immoral and false maxims, and On'
her predictions have been proved to be suppositious Obi:
said female has, therefore, been condemned by the o°',
Office to twelve years' imprisonment. Let therefore, e"
person in future dare to consider the said Catherine
Fanelli in the light of a saint, under the penalty to 1:*
established by the most eminent and reverend cardinn,Ls
the inquistors-general. Given at the Chancellerie of L'''"
Holy Office of the Vatican on the 6th Feb., 1857. •
HYACINTHE DE FERRABI*9t,
The Univers remarks as follows on the above docunleef:
"For some years past the young woman here spoke a''
and known by the name of Catarinella, bad attractsu
vast concourse of pilgrims of all classes. She posseneets
it was said, the gift of prophesy, and crowds from all paf.
of Italy flocked to see her. For a long time her hum
and purity of conduct led many serious minds to coneiro
her a special object of God's grace, but the Holy See :of
at length unveiled and punished the imposture, in Wt.,'
the powerful protectors who had hitherto upheld Citt""
inella Fanelli."

PROVINCE OF OUDE.—We learn that the revenue settir
ment in our newly acquired province of Oude is Pre
t;
gressing favourably and satisfactorily. From May ; 0
October of last year the officials of the company we'd
chiefly oecupied in compelling the various chiefs anh
powerful Zaminders to surrender tracts of country Will%
they had wrongfully wrested from the cultivators. Oil
ts
was the time when armed opposition might have bees
expected, but no such resistance was made. In fact, tb
people who in the former troublous times would he:
assembled under the flags of the chiefs are now is
favour. The number of sepoys found resident in Olo'r
either on furlough or pensioned, is very remarkable. ID
one not particularly large village there were found to D:
no less than sixty men belonging to our native regiments'
We are glad to say the terms of settlement now grant`
by us to the cultivators are much more liberal than they
'used formerly to be when new territory was acquired
One-third of the produce was what used to be cones-
ea
to the ryot, but now one-half is granted by us as be the
--
N.W. provinces. The people everywhere hail the approse
of our commissioners with cries that the country frit_
laid waste, was plundered under the former rule." In the
face of such facts, one can hardly imagine how the 00d:
family can hesitate about accepting the liberal; term
guaranteed to them by the late despatch of the hOOO
Government. They probably, however, as is the Wont 0(
Orientals, consider nothing gained while aught rerealne.t*
