The POPE k becoming every day more and more
popular. The amnesty has attached to his fortunes
the very men who, up to the present time, have been
the most formidable enemies of the Popedom in
Italy. A letter from Rome, of the 2S th July, pub-
lished in the Univert, says :
" Nothing is spoken of at Rome and throughout all the
provinces, but the fine character and noble intentions of the
Holy Father. Two months have not yet expired since his
accession, and yet what grand actions has he not performed!
I cannot refrain from making you acquainted with what is
in the mouths of every one in this city. On the occasion of
his accession the Pope made a donation to each of the pa-
rishes of Rome of fifty piastres, to be drawn for by lot among
the poorest of the young girls residing in them. The draw-
ing was madekin public under the direction of the cure, and
the first name issuing from the urn was, according to the
intentions of his Holiness, to receive the dowry. The cures
of Rome are men of integrity, full of zeal and charity; hut
one alone amongst them has not been irreproachable. For
sonic reason unknown he refused to give the sum to the girl
whose name was first drawn, and, by a second dressing,
awarded it to another. The father of the former made re-
monstrances, but the cure rejected his applications under
some pretence of which I am ignorant. The Pape, however,
is a lover of justice, and accessible to the complaints of the
poor. On being informed of what had taken place, he
severdy reprimanded the cure, and ordered him to give
the fifty piastres to the girl properly entitled to it, and a
similar sum from his own pocket to the other girl, who,a,
name was drawn in the second drawing. I leave you to
judge of the effect of such conduct a:nongst a poor popu-
latioa! Au important functionary had made to his Fioliness
a report which had an iniquitous object. The Pope having
received better information on the subjact from a Cardinal,
he again interrogated the functionary on the business, and
received an answer in accordance with the conclesions of
his report. 11i3 Holiness then looking sternly at him, said :
You are the first person that has dared to deceive us—do
nut again appear in our presence.' A vacancy for a Canon
of St. Peter's having occurred, a list of candidates was pre-
sented to the Pepe, each having mere or less claims to the
situation. Very well,' said his Holiness, ' I have made my
choice; but the person whom I have selected is not on this
list—it is the Abbe Ponzileone, an intelligent priest, full of
Christian zeal and charity, who has devoted his life to good
wot lea. Such men arc dear to us; we wish to rewad them.'
It was not enough for a heart so expansive, and so filled
with the charity of Jesus Christ, to have delivered political
prisoners, his Holiness has also set at liberty a great num-
ber of persons confined for debt, having devoted a consider-
eble sum from his private purse for that purpose."

Madrid papers to the Ist of August have been
received.

The regiment of Don FRANCISCO D'Assis has been
ordered to Madrid, so that it would appear that it is
determined that he shall have no excuse for absenting
himself from Court.

General VILLALONGA, the Captain General of
Galicia, has published an order from General SANZ,
the Minister at War, dated July 11, directing him
to repel by force any attempt on the part of the
Spanish refugees to enter the Spanish territory, and
to follow them into Portugal, " for it is the will of
her MAJESTY," adds the Minister, " that, in that case,
those emigrants be followed until they shall have
been beaten, without any regard to the limits of that
country."

This vaPouring, if carried out, might be productive
of disastrous consequences, but, profiting by the les-
son taught to FERDINAND VII., just twenty years
since, by Mr. CANNING, when the worthy royal petti-
coat-maker, in a fit of unwonted valour, threatened to
invade Portugal in support of the Marquis of CHAVES,
General SANZ, it is said, recollecting that " the
better part of valour is discretion," followed up this
very warlike proclamation by an order to the troops
to withdraw altogether from the Portuguese frontier.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The results of 453 elections out of 459 are now
known. Of the Deputies returned in these 453
cases, 280 are Ministerialists and 173 Oppositionists,
giving a Ministerial majority of 107. Of the six returns
not received, two are from Corsica, where Marshal
SEBASTIANI and M. DE GAsrARIN are certain of being
returned without opposition, and it is expected that
in the other four cases two Ministerialists and two
Oppositionists have been returned. This 107 ma-
jority includes the small band who support Count
MOLE and M. DUFAURE, and who might, perhaps,
if they saw a chance of ousting M. GUIZOT and
replacing him by Count MOLE, be inclined to join
the Opposition in a factious vote for that purpose.
They will, however, now most probably become re-
gular supporters of the Ministry, seeing they have
no chance of attaining power, as the oppo-
nents of M. GUIZOT, for so large is his personal
following in the new Chamber, thet he could beat
the MOLE and DUFAURE sections, and all the Oppo-
sition united, by a majority of from.7o to 80 votes—
a majority numerically greater, and more compact
and united than any Government has obtained since
1830.

The Chambers meet on the 17th to elect the Pre-
sident and officers. M. SAUZET is the Ministerial
candidate for the Presidency, and M. DurlN and M.
DUFAURE will, it is said, be started by the Opposition.

The heat continued intense. The thermometer was
at 98 Fahrenheit.

The impression produced upon the country by the
triumph of the Government in the elections is demon-
strated by the continued improvement in the prices of
Public Securities. The Three per Cents. closed on
Thursday at 83E 80c.
Shares were also firmer. Those of the Bordeaux
line closed at 575 f.; the " Northerns" at 712 f. 50c.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST CORNWALL.—A hint has
been given, apparently an official one, that Mr. Rashleigh,
who is gone to the baths of Aix to recruit his health, will not
again offer himself for the eastern division of this county.
The honourable gentleman has acted wisely, as there is no
probability of his election a second time. His successor is
printed out by circumstances which cannot be mistaken.—
IY est Briton.

some of our contemporaries have been very busy in
finding a successor for the gentleman who was appointed to
the situation of Counsel to the Irish Office by the late Go-
vernment, and have even gone so far as to name the fortu-
nate individual who was to succeed him. We hear, however,
that no change is likely to take place, as it has always been
held that the situation was wholly independent of ministe-
rial changes, and had nothing whatever political in its cha-
racter.— Observer.
THE LATE HURRICANE.—MEETING OE FLORISTS
AND NULSIZZYMEN.—A meeting of the florists, nurserymen,
and market-gardeners of Lambeth, Stockwell, Brixton, Clap-
' ham, Wandsworth, Camberwell, Walworth, and its vicinity,
was held on Tuesday evening, at the Swan Hotel, Stockwell,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the most effectual
measures to be adopted, in order to repair the dreadful losses
occasioned by the gale of last Saturday, whereby their hot-
houses, plants. fruit, and other property, to an immense
amount, was destroyed. Mr. H Groom, the tulip-grower,
was called to the chair, supported by Messrs. Field, Fairbairn,
Cathill, Altec, Chapman, Chandler, jun., Dixon, and about
thirty other of the principal florists, market gardeners, and
nurserymen of the southern districts of the metropolis The
statements made by the several speakers were truly aistress-
in,g, many declaring that the storm had been their utter '
ruin, and that nowhere had the hurricane committed such
frightful ravages as in the South London districts. One firm
estimated their losses at upwards of 2,0001., while another
party had between two and three tons of the finest hothouse
grapes destroyed, which would have fetched in the market
from 3s. to 4s. per lb. Au immanse quantity of pines had
also been destroyed, and the value of the glass broken in
their hothouses, greenhouses, frames, &c., was of an enormous
amount. It was resolved that this meeting should be con-
si4ered as preliminary to a general one, at which each party
would then be enabled to give a pretty correct estimate of
his losses.
The members of the Irish Society, Suffolk-street,
Pall-mall, had their second and last dinner for the season on
Wednesday, at Blacku all, where they mustered numerously,
and in genially harmonic accord, in-Lovegrove's chief salon.
Viscount Castlereagh took the chair on the occasion, and
ruled the board with a tact and spirit which ensured the
happiest completion in the festive re-union. Amongst those
present, and whose he,!th was given with warmest cordiality,
was Mr. T. Birmingham, vice president ,oi the Society for
the Improvement el Ireland. This gentleman, in returning
thanks, introduced to the notice of the society the Rev.
T. Rosh, an excellent clergyman of the well-known Clad-
degh district, in Galway, where the singular race of fisher-
men, who have been so frequently noticed by travellers in
Ireland, monopolise, as it well may be said, the coast. The
reverend gentleman, who is over in Enland on a mission to
g
raise funds to aid in establishing schools of practical education
among the most primitive, and, unfortunately, as ignorant
and impoverished people, gave a very feeling account of their
condition, which drew towards his charitable purpose the
warmest sympathy, and, in the end, some more substantial
intimations of approval.
We never recollect so much corn, particularly wheat,
secured in so short a time, and in such good order, as was
done last week in this neighbourhood. The weather seems
now rather unsettled; but we escaped the fury of the storm,
and no mischief is as yet done to the corn. The late rains
have refreshed the grass land a good deal; but the turnips
do not grow well at all. Stock of all sorts is doing well,
but the prices are Wray 3Q high as they were.
