PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. GRAND RURAL
FETE.—Yesterday a
.fete took place at the White Hart,
Bromley, on belallf of the funds of the Printers' Pension
Society. As early as ten o'clock in the forenoon the town of
Bromley presented a scene of happiness and amusement,
business being in a great measure suspended. Between ten
and eleven o'cl,ck Mr. Batty's equestrian troop arrived, and
preparations were made for the commencement of their day
performance. The bands of the Royal Artillery and Sappers
and Miners, from Woolwich, were also in attendance, and
throughout the whole time the company were delighted with
the performance of favourite music. The amusements were
varied to meet every taste, and the greatest satisfaction pre-
veiled. The classic grouping of Mr. T. Thomson was warmly
received, and the morns dancers- also met their share of
praise. A ball was held in the evening. The grounds were
numerously and very respectably attended.
The Gazette du Midi publishes the following anecdote-
of the new Pope, Pius IX.:—" When Pius was Archbishop
of Speleta a revolutionary movement took place, and one of
the chiefs having been arrested, there was found at his, resi-
dence a sealed packet, which he confessed contained a list of
all the officers and others who had entered into the conspiracy. •
The Commissary of Police, triumphant in the. discovery,
went to inform the Archbishop of it. 'lndeed,' said the lat-
ter, this is an important discovery—where is the
packet ?' The Commissary having shown it, the •
Archbishop said that considering its importance,
he hoped it would be placed in his hands.
The Commissary hesitated, and observed that he was going
to send it to Rome, but the Archbishop having observed
that he would do all that was requisite, he at last consented.
at the same time, however, perhaps thinking that the Arch-
bishop wished to assume all the credit of the communication
to the Government. The Archbishop had no sooner got pos-•
session of the packet than he tore it to pieces and threw
the fragments into the fire. The Commissary was struck
with terror, but the Archbishop said to him, Fear nothing,
I will take everything upon myself. You have done your.
duty as a Commissary of the Government. and I have done
mine as a Bishop. Are there not a sufficient number of per-
sons compromised, and enough families in grief already?' "
