which he occupied. He had always said that he had not
much skill—that he was not a statesman, and asked them why
he could not get somebody else—that he was bred a soldier
and never aspired to more than the reputation of being a high
spirited man and a gentleman. That was the character of the
Noble Lord, and he believed that he had obtained his
limited wish. He did not know his own powers—he (Mr.
Disraeli) thought he had great abilities. There were dosens
of such men, but the fact was that the Noble Lord had no am-
bition. Any one that knew him intimately, knew that the
idea of raising himself with the State bad never entered into
his head.—( Hear, hear.) It was once the happiness of the
Noble Lord, and it was still his pride, to have filled the
humblest station of the political career near a great Minister ;
and from that period he had not wished to occupy any
office however exalted, and even the Right Honourable Ba-
ronet admitted, that as regarded the Noble Lord, he
was a consistent, but a pure and disinterested supporter. The
Noble Lord might have expressed himself with unusual warmth
and vigour, for, without any pretention to oratory, he spoke
from the heart. He was not sure that the racy vigour of
his brave honesty was not worth all the modern eloquence,
which he heard often delivered with all that pompons plausibility,
and solemn cadence—with all that damnable iteration of still
sophistry and common-place which served in the place of elo-
quence.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Noble Lord,
speaking with earnestness, and remembering his position—the
only position in public life he ever aspired to—the humble
position which a political career could offer to
a great Minister and bound to him by the
nearest and dearest ties, the Noble Lord said the Right Hnn.
Gentleman had hunted to death Mr. Canning. The Noble
Lord said that, in 1829 the Right Hon. Gentleman admitted,
or rather had announced, that in 1825 he had informed Lord
Liverpool what was his opinion with regard to the Catholic
question. He (the Right Hon. Gentleman) had said it was
no longer possible to resist their claims, and even if they could
only be settled by his leaving office ; he was prepared to make
that sacrifice to himself. The Noble Lord, remembering the
conduct of that Right Hon. Gentleman, in 1827, to Mr. Can-
ning, and remembering the effect of the conduct of the Right
Hon. Gentleman on the career and probably on the life of
that statesman, and taking the position laid down by
the Right Honourable Gentleman himself that it was
base in a Minister to conceal his opinion, asked
him how it was in 1825, when he changed his opinion on the
Catholic question in the year 1827, having announced that
change at so late a period after he had formed his opinions.
The reason of that change was given by the explanation with
regard to the cause of severance with Mr. Canning, and never
would be forgotten in that House. The Right Honourable
Gentleman had made an answer which he would not reca-
pitulate—not from any desire of being unfair, but because it
was fresh in the recollection of every one who listened to it.
The Right Hon. Gentleman said that, in the year 1825, he did
of course, deny his communication with Lord Liverpool ; and
he had said that, in 1829, when he announced that communi-
cation, he announced nothing more than he announced in 1827,
in the presence of Mr. Canning himself. It was a remarkable
circumstance, as the House would recollect. The Noble Lord
had accused the Right Honourable Baronet of having,
ru 18A acknowledged, or rather announced, the
change of his opinion on the Catholic quest ion
in 1825, that announcement being made in a speech of 1829.
The Right Hon. Gentleman never read that speech—the Right
Itin. Gentleman had read the speech which he made in 1827.
in the presence of Mr. Canning. It was remarkable that the
Right [ion. Gentleman never referred to the speech on which
the Noble Lord alleged the great accusation then before the
House. The position of the Right Hon. Gentleman was that
in 1829 he only stated in that House what in 1827 he stated he
had urged in his communication to Lord Itiverpeol,
in the presence of Mr. Canning. He would wish
to read to the House that speech of 1829, where the
allegation of this great omission was contained. The
Right Hon. Baronet referred Hon. Gentlemen to the speech
of 1829, but he never read it, and, therefore, he (Mr. Dis-
raeli) would read to the House what took place in 1827. It
was but due to the Right Hon. 'Gentleman to open that pas-
sage in Hansard, as the question was too interesting and too
important to be passed in silence. The Right Hon. Gentleman
said, " As far as my own course in this question is concernett."
Mr. H. YORKE—Which Right Hon. Gentleman ?
( baud cri•-s of " Order.")
Mr. DISRAELI proceeded to quote :—" As far as my nwu
course is concerned, it is the same which I have always held
in my mind since 1825, when he was principal Minister, and
found myself in a minor ity on this question. When I saw the
number arrayed against one, I fouud my own position unten-
able. When I found I was left in a minority on this ques-
tion, I wished to be relieved from the resmnsibilities and the
duties of office, and in consequence of the decision given egai,,st
me in that House, I wished to be relieved from that office."
He was ready to admit that it appeared that the Right Hon.
Gentle man used the same language in 1827, nor did the Righ+
Honourable Gentleman say anything which he did not say
in 1827, in the presence of Mr. Canning. There was no con-
tradiction to that by any of the intimate friends of Canning,
or those most intimate with the conduct of public men in this
country. And what was the impression of the House at that
time, when that speech of 1829, an extract from which he had
just read, was written ? He made no charge against the Right
Hon. Baronet, but he said that this was a garbled and muti-
lated report ; or, to use the softer language of that House, it
was a correct report of what was said. Now, it really
amounted to this, whether or not that important statement
was made by the Right Hon. Baronet? That was really the
great question.—(Hear.) It so happened that there were
two reports of that speech. There was not only that of Han-
sard, which appeared after after a long interval, but there was
that which appeared in the " Mirror of Parliamen'," and
which paper was reported by men of education, talent, and
of the greatest intelligence. The speech of the Right
Hqn. Baronet was taken down in short-hand by verbatim
reporters. When this speech was made, a great question then
agitated the public mind, and the course pursued by the Right
Hon. Baronet was that which suggested itself to his mind at
the time as the only one which he could adopt under the cir-
cumstances. It was a most important question to the country,
and related to the great Catholic question._( Hear, hear.)
The Right Hon. Gentleman then felt that the time was
come when something respecting the Catholic claims should be
done. He stated to Lord Liverpool that something should
be done with respect to the Catholic question. There
wags such a thing as a version of a speech—a speech for the
House, and a speech for posterity.—(Hear, hear.) It so hap-
pened that the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet was both
ways; and now they read both, and compared the speech of
the hour with the speech of posterity.—(Cheers.) It hap-
pened that at that time a very eminent gentleman, who was
at the head of a great Protestant party in that House, re-
marked that if there was a time for consenting to the Catholic
question, the Right Honourable Baronet—in justice to his
own character—in justice to his friends—and in jus-
tice to Mr. Canning ought to have consented
before. If, said the Honourable Member, the question
was not found necessary in 1825, when brought forward by
Mr. Canning, why did he again vote against it in 1827.
when Mr. Canning was in office, and then advise it in 1829?
(Great cheering.) These were the remarks in an Hon. Mem-
ber's—in the speech of Sir Edward Knatchbull—(Hear, hear. )
—and it was well-remembered by all who listened to the
speaker, that it brought an answer from the Right Hon.
Baronet. He did not answer that speech in the language
which he quoted from Hansard, as the speech of the Right.
Hon. Baronet. His answer was the speech of Hansard, but
not the speech of the Mirror of Parliament. It was no
doubt a revised speech, a corrected speech. It was marked
in Hansard as the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet—and
there was this most remarkable note appended to it--" printed
with sanction, and by the authority of Mr. Secretary PeeL"
( Hear, hear. and cheers from the Protection benches.) Now,
with respect to the speech in the Mirror of Parliament, he
had inquired who it was that reported it, and he
learned it was reported by Mr. Barrow, a gen-
tleman who was cue of the first short-hand writers
as well as one of the first scholars of the day, they would not
doubt the ability and correctness of Mr. Barrow, but if they
did, he fancied that that speech had also been reported in the
Times newspaper of 1829, wherein the Right Hon. Baronet
was made to say that the time was come when something must
be done with the Catholic question. He did not bring those
statements forward without wishing that the Right Hon.
Gentleman should have the opportunity of answering them.
He had quoted them from anonymous works, but it should be
remembered that anonymous works, at times, were written by
those who were high in office, and who were above writing any-
thing contrary to fact, at least wilfully. He found it stated in
a work of great reputation, that Sir Robert Peel had a
letter in his writing-desk, which he had written to
Lord Liverpool, stating that it was high time that something
shbuld be done with respect to Catholic claims. This was
stated in the Edinburghßeview, and it was signed anonymously ;
but it should be remembered that that work was read in the
highest circles, and quoted as a great authority ; and for the
best of all reasons, that its contributors were men of high rank
and of great attainments. It was within eight and forty hours
after Mr. Canning gave the Right Hon. Gentleman the cha-
racter of which he appeared to be so proud, that the Right Hon.
Baronet commenced that opposition, which was considered at
the time, and had been considered ever since, to have outraged
all decency. It was agreed upon, at a party of gentlemen, held
in—he would not say in what great house, though
he had been told—where they were dining. It was enough
for him to know that they came down to that House, and the
Right Hon. Gentleman was amongst them. It was a party
favourable to the shipping interest, and the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman delivered himself of a speech which contained
language far more vehement,: far more exciting, and far
more passionate than any they heard in modern times.—( Hear,
hear.) On the third day after he had received his character
for candour, and sincerity, the Right Hon. Gentleman rose
and delivered one of the most violent and passionate speeches
that had ever been made in that House, which called for the
celebrated reply from Mr. Canning, that he was always ready
to meet the attack of an open and honourable enemy, but he
despised the sneaking insinuation of a lurking foe in the garb
of a friend. Now, he would not enter into any details as
to whether the Right Hon. Baronet hunted down Mr. Can-
ning, because that was the poetical phrase, used meta-
phorically, to describe the feelings of the friends, and
relatives of Mr. Canning, with regard to the transactions with
which they were familiar, and because if he were to do so he
must go into secret councils, and quote secret correspondence,
read passages from newspapers, set up and maintained for a
particular purpose.—(Hear, bear.) He must go into details
ofanatters which the Right Hon. Gentleman addressed to the
new generation who have entered Parliament since these events
had occurred, and in vindication of his own character ; but let
him remind the House that it was not a vindication made on
the spur of the moment, although the Right Hon. Baronet
might have had an imperfect knowledge of the
details of what occurred niueteen years ago, for the Right
Hon. Gentleman took three or four days to get up his case,
which was to make an impression upon the rising generation.
He thought, however, he had proved from the extracts which
he had read that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman
in. vindication of his own character was garbled.—

political associate and intimate
driving the Right Hon. Baronet from power. He was not
this subject. For his
own Put? he never had any acquaintance wit illustriousillustriousli
surprised that his Noble Friend, connected as he was with Mr.
Canning, should have felt deeply upon

man, and never saw him but once. It was in that House, and
at a time when he had rather a hope than an expectation of
becoming a member of tha' assembly ; and he could recollect
how he listened, as if it were only yesterday, „to the last
breathing thoughts, and, he might say, the dying words of that
great orator. He could recollect, as if it were only yesterday,
the flourish and tumult which his mighty dreams created.
Even now the melody of his voice still lingered on his ear,
and he was afraid he should never see another Canning. A
man who ruled the House as a rider ruled a high-bred horse—
as Alexander ruled Bucephalus.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Hon. Gentlemen might laugh, but he was conscious that they
lived in a Parliament and in times over which a great change
had come, and he was not surprised to find that even the
public feeling assumed a sleepy apathy upon subjects of this
nature. He well knew tiat the tone and temper of that
House had long since undergone a change, and he was
conscious that it did not evince the pride, the spirit, nor the
courage which it did in the time of Canning. He was not
surprised that the vulture ruled when the eagle reigned.--
( Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman once said when
in the House, and the phrase must be familiar to all, that
" Ireland was his greatest difficuity." But why was Ireland
his greatest difficulty? He asked him, if be had acted with
frankness towards Mr. Canning, in regard to the communica-
tion he made to Lord Liverpool in 1829, whether Ireland would
have been the great diffieulty which he felt it was at this mo-
ment. They were about to divide on an Irish quest ion, and that
division might be fatal to the continuance of his power. The
Right Hon. Baronet must feel that that division would seal his
Parliamentary reputation, and prove the catastrophe of a
sinister career.—(Loud cheers. )
Sir R. PEEL rose to explain. He knew that the form and
usages of the House did not admit of a reply, yet still he felt
he was so personally referred to, that he dared to say the
House would not think it unfair if they were drawn a little
from their rigid adherence to established usage on the present
occasion. lie did not intend to make a reply, but he asked
them to suspend their judgment till an opportunity was given of
judging correctly when the whole question was before them.
He would confine himself to the single fact. did he or did he not
in 1825, state to Lord Liverpool, that his ( Sir R Peel's) opinion
on the Roman Catholic question waschanged? The whole ques-
tion was— Is this tine ? On that he fearlessly asserted that
the report of his speech on the 25th March, 1829, was a cor-
rect statement of the facts. In connexion with Lord Liver-
pool's Government, in 1825, he (Sir R. Peel) occupied the
position of Secretary of State for the Home Department, and
he was the only one that opposed the Roman Catolic claims.
Judging from my connexion, I did not think the measure ex.
pedient. And was it not intolerable to say he had not the
right to do so. In 1e25, he opposed the Roman Ca-
tholic claims ; in the same year Lord Liverpool
made one of the strongest speeches in favour of the
Roman Catholic claims; and he (Sir Robert Peel replied to
it. By referring to that reply, they would find an illustration
of the views he then held. In 1827, he again opposed the
Roman Catholic claims ; and in 1828 he continua the same
opposition. He was in a minority in 1828, when he said his
position was not the same as in 1825, and he intimated that,
under the circumstances, he could no longer continue the ad-
ministration of affairs in Ireland. But when the circumstances
of 1829 took place, he told Lord Liverpool that the time was now
come when the question must be settled, and that though he
could not support it in an official capacity he would retire from
office, and in a private capacity do what he could to effect its
settlement. Seventeen or eighteen years had passed away
since this question was settled, and he would not undertake to
be responsible for all that had been reported of him, but as
the Noble Lord (Lord G. Bentinck) who had attacked him ( Sir
R. Peel) had an opportunity in 1822 of attacking him, why
had he not done so—( Hear., hear)—why had he reserved his
attack till the present period ? He could not be ex-
pected to answer every contradiction that might have
appeared in reports, but the main question was, did he
or did he not say to Lord Liverpool in 1825 the Roman Catho-
lic question must be settled ? Had he ( Sir Robert Peel) said
so, would the question have not been settled.—( Hear, hear. )
He ( Sir Robert Peel) did what many others in the same cir-
cumstances had done, and if they referred to the " Mirror of
Parliament" of the 6th of March, in answer to a question put on
the sth 111 arch, they would find that he did not come to the
settlement of the question. With respect to what was stated
by the Edinburgh Review, he would say, what would be the
condition of public men it they bad to answer
every anonymous writer ? Were they to contra-
dict every malignant paragraph that might be
published against them. But he would say, if, as the " Review"
asserted, there was such a letter to the Earl of Liverpool
in existence, giving his opinion that the Catholic claims should
be set tied, he challenged its production, The lion. Gentle-
man says that he (Sir Robert Peel) had such a letter. He
asked him what authority he had for making such a statement—
what proof he had of its existence ? It he knew of such a
letter he was challenged with the proofs He (Sir Robert
Peel) however, pledged his honour if such a letter had been
written and was in existence, and in his possession, he would
in extenso praduce Cheers.) It would then be seen
what it was, and whether it bore out the charge which bad
been made. In conclusion he again asserted he never sated
in 1625 what had been attributed to him by the Honourable
Gentleman.

Sir John Rennie, whose design for the improvement of the
great wash in Lincolnshire, by which almost the extent of
an entire county will be added to the coast,was also displayed
in a model, showing on one side the present state ot the out-

will appear when completed. Sections of the great works at
Sheerness dockyard, by the late Mr. Rennie; plans of the

a model illustrating Mons. Hallett's system for obviating the

pheric system, and a model of Mr. Ricardo's ingenious in-
strument for registering the velocity of railway trains.
We also observed two beautiful machines at work in the
rolm, the one being Wheatstone and Co,k,'s electric tele-
graph, and the other Mr. Oldham's machine for numbering
and paging registers at the Bank of England, which is also
applicable for all tickets where a series of numbe-s is desir-
able. The machine, however, which attracted the greatest
amount of attention from the company present was that of
Mr. Rand, for milking collapsible tubes to hold artists' co-
lon's and scents, and which can be adapted to many other
useful purposes. The apparatus appears to differ little from
the usual stamping machine, but nevertheless pre-
sented a beautitill adaptation of the scientific principle that
tin, when under the pressure of about twenty tors to a cir-
cular inch, will run acc,rding to the law of fluids. In the
machine exhibited the pressure was about five tons, and a
flat, basin-shaped car-ule being smartly struck by a solid
cvlintlrical punch, sprung upwards, embracing the punch
closely, and taking its shape so as to form a perfect and
homogeneous tin tube. The numerous applications of this
apparatus are quite obvious, but the vessels produced are
more particularly available for the preservation of artists'
colours, essential oils, and all semi-fluid substances which are
difficult to be got out of bottles, and which become injured
by the introduction of air into the ordinary bottle after any
portion has been extracted. _ _

Numerous interesting works of art were profusely scattered
about the room, amongst which we must enumerate Mr.
Thomas' beautiful statue of a female warrior. Some superb
spechners of machine wood-carving, by Taylor, Williams,
and Jordan : oak hand carvings, by Rogers ; some spirited
proof etching, by Thomas Landseer and Ward ; and an
engraving of Mr. Robert Stephenson's curious tube bridge
proposed to be carried across the Menai Strait. Nor should
Mr. Sang's exceedingly beautiful decoration of the rooms ap-
propriated for the reception of the company be passed over
without notice.

The guests consisted of almost everybody of note in the
scientific world now in London, as also of several noblemen
and gentlemen amateurs and supporters of the fine arts ;
perhaps, however, the most remarkable personage present
was Soliman Pacha, who was conducted through the rooms
by Mr. Charles Manby, the secretary to the institution, who
exhibited and explained to this distinguished guest, as to all
the other foreigners, the various objects most worthy of
attention.

Among the general body of distinguished visitors we no-
ticed Professor Hoffer, Messrs. Hallette, Gihan, Floresi,
Motel, and Wattevil!e. The Marquises of Northampton
and Salisbury, Lord James Stuart, Baron Goldsmidt, the
Bishop of Norwich ; Sirs 11-nry Ells, C. Malcolm, J.

The President of the institution did the honours of the
evening with his usual amenity, and the meeting broke up at
a late hour.

IBRA HIM PA CH A.
DEPARTURE FOR BIRMINGHAM.
On Saturday afternoon, at five o'clock, his Highness
Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by "ajor Dickson, Suleiman
Pacha, Ibrahim Bey, Colonel Bonfort, Curate ili.ffendi, M.
Nubar (his Hig-hnes's interpreter), and other members of
his suite, arrived at the Euston-square T.rminus, and took
his departure by the express train for Birmingham.
His highness reached the station about half-past four
o'clock, and was received by Mr. Leclsharn, the deputy chair-
man, the Hon. George Anson, M P., Mr Young, and Mr.
Malluish, directors, Mr. Creed. the secretary of the com-
pany, and Mr. Barry, the chief of the locomotive department.
Mr. Barker, the superinterdent of the police of the line,
with a body .of bis men, and other officers of the establish
meat, were also in attendance. Having partaken of a
splendid dejeune, which had been laid out in the receptioc,
room fitted up fur the Queen and other members of tee
-Royal Family, at the station, the Pacla dud suite were con-
ducted over the terminus, and had many of the works x-
plained to them.
Precisely at five o'clock his Highness entered the carriage
built for the accominodatio» of her Maje,ty the Queen
Dowager, and liavig been furnished with a light for hie
magnificent pipe, the illuArions foreigner commenced his
smoking, and the train started amil,t the cheers of those
assembled, the thanks of the Pacha, for the atention shown
him, having been previously conveyed to the directors
through Major Dickson.
Prior to the arrival of the Pacha and suite a large number
of persons had assembled in the grand quadrangle of the sta-
tion, by whom his Highness was loudly cheered.
In the morning his Highness paid a visit to the Regent's
Park barracks, where he was received by the Hon. Colonel
Cavendish, the Colonel commanding the Ist Life Guards,
and other officers. Having minutely inspected the barracks,
his Highness returned to Mivart's, and thence proceeded to
Chiswick, to witness the horticultural fete, with which he
was much plessed.

On the motion of Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, the debate was
adittt-nel.

- -
His Highness, it is stated, intends taking a tour through
the whole of the manufacturing districts, and will also visit
the Highlands of Scotland. He will return to London in a
fortnight.
ARRIVAL AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—Last evening, at
eight o'clock, his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by
Major Dickson, Colonel Bonfort, and M. Nubar, interpreter to
the Pacha, arrived here by the express train from London,
in one of the royal carriages generally used by the Queen
Dowager. It being intended, pursuant to previous arrange-
ment, that the visit of the Paella should be strictly private,
neither the mayor, high bailiff, nor any of the local authori-
ties, were in attendance to receive him. Owing, however, to
the announcements in the morning papers, it became known
that he would arrive in the course of the evening, and a con•
siderable number of respectable persons applied for and ob-
tained admission into the station-yard of the Grand
Junction Company, and waited his arrival. The carriage
in which his Highness and attendants were was attached
to the end of the train, and did not reach the ordinary
parapet, so that it was at first thought the Pacha had
not arrived. In a mement or two a rush to the
end of the station took place, and presently his High-
ness alighted from his carriage on the rails, and • alked to
the landing, where he was met by Charles Laurence,
Esq., chairman of the Grand Junction Company, and L
Mozeley, Esq., one of the directors of the ssme body, and
most cordially received by them. The Pacha shook hands
with these gentlemen, and seemed much pleased at their at-
tention. He then advanced to the parapet, stepped into a
carriage which was waiting his arrival, and drove off with
his attendants to Dee's Royal Hotel, where a splendid set of
apartments, heretofore uscd by members of the Royal Family,
and lately by the King of Saxony, were in readiness for him.
After partaking of some slight refreshments his Highness
appeared on the balcony of the Hotel, smoking his magnifi-
cently mounted long hooka, and seemingly much pleased
with his journey. He was soon after waited 'upon by Mr.
George Richmond Collis, Consul to the Pacha'; father, and
who communicated the necessary local information to the
distinguished party. At hall-past nine o'clock his Highness
and attendants and Mr. Collis dined, and at an early hour
the Paella retired to bed. This mornin.; at eight o'clock he
breakfasted, and at twelve he and the whole of the above
party left the hotel for the London and Birmingham station,
where a special engine was in readiness to convey them to
Leamington and Warwick, his Highness having received an
invitat'on to inspect the magnificent castle in th latter town.
The Pacha and company will return this evening at seven
o'clock to dinner at Dee's, and spend the evening in private.
To-morrow we understand he will inspect some of the works
in the town, and then proceed to the ironworks in the district.
IBRAHIM PACHA AT WARWICK CASTLE.
(FP.O.M A CORRESPONDENT.)
His Highness visited Warwick Castle on Sunday, attended
by Major Dickson, Mr. Collis, of Birmingham (Consul to the
Sublime Porte), and suite. He was shown over the cas•le by
Mr. Alder, and over the magnificent grounds by Mr. Spinks,
the head gardener, after which he partook of luncheon
spread beneath the umbrageous branches of the gigantic
forest trees on the lawn, which luncheon was provided by
Mr. Lake, of the Warwick Arms Hotel. His Highness pre-
vious to leaving expressed himself highly gratified with his
visit, the attention paid to him, and the kindness of the
Noble Earl, who had previously forwarded levers to the
castle, desiring every attention to be paid to his Highness.
After the repast his highness enjoyed his cigarrette for near
an hour, when he left for the London and Birmingham Rail-
way. He arrived soon after one and left about five.

,' THE ELECTION OF A NEW POPE.
" The following," says the Constitutionnel, " are the prin-
cipal ceremonies observed at Rome oa the death of the Sove-
reign Pontiff:—
" As soon as the reigning Pope has ceased to live, the
Pope's Great Chamberlain, accompanied by the clerks of the
Apostolical Chamber, is conducted to the bedroom of the
deceased Pontiff, where he verifies his mortal remains, and
receives from the hands of the Master of the Chamber the
fisherman's ring.' This ring, and the seal of bulls, called
the leaden seal,' are broken by the chief master of the cere-
monies in presence of all the Cardinals. The Pope's Great
Chamberlain then holds a congregation with the same
clerks, and in this re. union he appoints all the officers of the
Chamber.
";Twenty-four hours after the Pope's death, his body is em-
balmed. In the evening of the third day it is transported
to the Church of St. Peter's with the same pomp that sur-
rounded the Sovereign Pontiff on solemn occasions; there
is also a detachment- of artillery, which forms a part of the
cortege. The body thus embalmed remains exposed in the
Chapel of the Holy Sacrament during three days, the head
'
turned towards the altar, and the feet touching the railing
which encloses the chapel. The people pay their last homage
of respect and regret to the mortal remains of the Pope by
kissing his feet between the bare.
" A large and rich catafalque is raised during this period
in the middle of the principal nave of the basilica. The por-
trait of the deceased Pope. and the most memorable events of
his reign, are painted in grey colours, and ornament the
different sides of the mausoleum. The funeral commences in
the evening of the third day by the ceremony of interment,
which takes place in the presence of the Great Chamberlain,the Cardinals appointed by the deceased, and the clerks of
the chamber. The body, inclosed in a triple coffin, is.le of
after-
wards placed near the chapel of the choir until the time
sepu I ture.
