CARDINAL WISEMAN.—The Clrdinal has met
with an accident since his arrival in Rome, which has

further than the sudden shock from the heavy fall of a
person of his corpulent habit, and a slight injury to the
wrist. His Eminence had visited the Pope since his
arrival, but was confined in consequence of this accident
