The 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 Vive le
Pape-Roi I' 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 mere."

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 ono time a practising surgeon of considerable
eminence, but was more generally known to the medical
profession in connexion with the Lancet, which he estab-
lished, and of which he ras the proprietor until his death.
Lle 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
long, return to discharge his duties. From time to time
the deceased gentleman has written home, and on each oc-
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 candidate for the coronership now vacant.

ENGLISH ENTERPRISE.—An English nobleman,
the Earl of Dunmore, is reported by the Richmond Exami-
ner of May 1 as one of the guests at the Exchange Motel
in that city, he having " run the blockade in the Nashville
on her last inwaN trip."

The official statements of the importations of
wheat and flour into this country during the four
months ended the 30th of April sufficiently account
for the continued heaviness of the corn-market.
Notwithstanding the fair character of the harvest
of last autumn in comparison with the disastrous
yield in 1860, our receipts of foreign supplies have
been nearly equal to those of the first four months
of last year, and about four times the amount of
those from January to April, 1860. Calculating
wheat and flour together, the total has been equal
to 3,060,000 quarters against 3,330,000 in the cor-
responding period of 1861, and 775,000 in 1860.
This has been chiefly owing to the scale on which
consignments have reached us from the United
States. The following table of the percentage re-
ceived from each source of supply shows that while
in 1860 we drew exactly half our quantity of foreign
wheat from Russia and Prussia, and only 7 per cent.
from the United States, we have this year imported
less than a fourth from the former countries, and
43 per cent. from the latter :
