THE FRENCH GARRISON AT ROME.

The Constitutionnel publishes the following
article in prominent type, signed M. Paul de

Limayrac :
" General Count de Montebello, Aide•de-Camp of the
_

Emperor, will take the command of the division which wi

henceforth form our corps of occupation at RE‘me. This
appointment will be favourably received by public opinion.
It was impossible, in fact, to make a better choice for so
difficult a mission, and to place the honour of our flag at
Rome in nobler hands. General Montebello's position near
the person of the Emperor, his character, conciliating and
firm, his past career, and his principles, do more than give
us the hope, they convince us that the new Commander-
in-Chief of the French troops near the Holy See will know
how, without owstepping his military powers, to give the
most useful support to him who alone has the right to enter
into diplomatic negotiations and to speak in the name of
France. As regards the Marquis de Lavalette, who has
not ceased for one moment to be honoured with the Empe-
ror's confidence, he will resume the post he is so worthy of
occupying. The sojourn he has just made in France will
have enabled him still more fully to understand the inten-
tions of the Imperial Government towards the Papacy and
Italy, and our Ambassador will again follow the object so
conformable to the views of France. Does this imply that
the solution of the great problem may be expected from
day to day ? No. Those who expect an immediate solu-
tion are no less under an illusion than those who expect a
return to an impossible past. Diplomacy, the task and
merit of which consist in acting by the means of persuasion,
does not attain its ends in a day, even under the most
favourable circumstances. The objects to be attained and
guaranteed are the safety of the Holy Father and the legi-
timate interests of Italy, Such is the double object fol-
lowed by the policy of France, and we shall have made a
great step towards the solution so eagerly yearned for by
many when Franee will no longer find herself in presence
of an inseparable 'non possumus,' and when the Court of
Rome will consent no longer to treat a political question as
a religious dogma."

•
The ,'iecle makes the following remarks :

"We have entered the phase of restricted occupation
which must lead to evacuation. As the blue coats retire,
the black robes are replacing them ; there will soon be
priests enough in Rome to fill up the blank just made in
the garrison. The prelates started first, and now it is the
turn of the grand vicars, superiors of religious educational
establishments and convents, prebended and non-prebended
canons, priests, arch-priests, cures, and even simple assis-
tants. The list of pilgrims, as they are called, every day
fills a column or two of the religious journals. The bishops
now no longer start without being accompanied by a certain
number of the priests of their diocese; some remnants of
the phalanx of St. Vincent de Paul form a cortege to them,
headed by a band of music, to the gates of the town which
they leave. They separate with a few cries of V,ive le
Pape-Roi l' and the Ultramontane journal of the locality
declares on the following morning that there will yet be in
France fine days for religion. That is a sketch on a small
scale of what will take place at Rome, singing of canticles,
music, scenes of tenderness and picturesque effect, and
nothing mare."

DEATH OF MR. WAKLEY.—Yesterday intelli-
gence was received of the death of Mr. Wakley, the coroner
for West Middlesex, who, some months ago, went to Ma-
deira in the hope of recruiting his shattered health. Mr.
Wakley was at one time a practising surgeon of considerable
eminence, but was more generally known to the medical
profession in connexion with the Lancet, which he estab
lisped, and of which he vies the proprietor until his death.
Me was for many years member for Finsbury. In Novem-
ber last, before leaving England, he met a jury at the Bank
of England Tavern, Cambridge-place, and there delivered a
brief but feeling speech, with confidence that he should, ere I
long, return to discharge his duties. From time to time
the deceased gentleman has written home, and on each oo-
casion convalescence was reported. Even by the last mail
his return was expected, his health restored and himself fit
for his public duty. It is understood that his son will be-
come a canoidate for the coronership now vacant, I

THE RECAPTURE OF THE EMILY ST. PIERRE.-
The gallant British seaman who recaptured the Emily St.
Pierre, under circumstances which are familiar to our
readers, is a native of the parish of Colvend, in the Stew-
artry, or county of k irkcudbright, and the people of the
district admiring his heroism made, soon after hearing of it,
arrangements for giving him a public dinner, which came
off at the neighbouring town of Dalbeat tie on the afternoon
of Friday, the 30th ult. The festive gathering took place
in the largest hall of the town, and it was occupied on the
occasion by a numerous and enthusiastic company, presided
over by an influential country gentleman, Mr. Adam Skir-
ving, of Croges, Dr. M‘linight, chief magistrate of Dal-
be.ttie, being vice-chairman. About 140 sat down to
dinner at 5 o'clock. Capt. Wilson, on making appearance,
was enthusiastically greeted. His face, browned and
weatherbeaten, has an expression of great firmness and
gravity. He is about 47 years of age, " bears his blushing
honours" witb much modesty, and seems in the self-for-
getfulness of true greatness to under-estimate his daring
achievement and to shrink from rather than covet the de-
served distinction it has drawn down upon him. After the
cloth had been removed and the usual loyal toasts had been
disposed of, the chairman, in a brief but emphatic speech,
proposed the toast of the evening. After an appropriate re-
ference to the renowned maritime adventurer, Paul Jones,
also a native of the Stewartry, the Chairman saii,—" We
have a Stewartry seaman here to-night who is now pretty
well known. I need not begin to tell the story which his
made him so distinguished, as you are already familiar
with it. All that I would say is, that what our Capt. Wil-
son did was one of the most wonderful feats ever per-
formed." Capt. Wilson, on rising to return thanks, was
received with warm plaudits, which were again and again
renewed. With shrinking diffidence he avoided giving any
prominence to his own intrepid deed ; and when at a later
stage of the proceedings he was asked to give a narrative
of the recapture of his vessel he said it had all appeared in
the public papers, and it would not, he thought, be becom-
ing in him to repeat it. Many other toasts followed, inter-
spersed with songs, the meeting terminating about nine
o'clock.
