THE CECIIKENICAL COUNCIL.

The Patriarch of Constantinople and the Bishop of
Orvieto have arrived in Rome, making sixty-six Fathers of
the Council. Cardinal Reisaeli has left Rome for Switzer-
land. He has injured his health by overwork in the con-

Government has stated that the Bishops may go to Rome
and attend the Council, but it holds out threats
to those subjects who may agree to anything
contrary to the spirit of the Italian Constitution
The feeling against Rome is more strong than ever in the
revolutionary circles of Florence, and it is not deemei
advisable for the Bishops to travel throu3l Italy, for fear
the mobs in the large towns should hold demonstratiom
against them.

ferred on the inventor of the "Whitworth cannon, and on
Fairbairn, the engineer, asks if the Second Empire will
imitate the example and create a Baron Chassepot ?
Apropos of " Baron" Whitworth, the Gaulois thinks that if
he succeeds in constructing his proposed gun, which, with a
charge of 1001 b. of powder, will send a 1,5001 b. shell capable
of piercing iron plates a foot thick at a distance of 6,400
metres, France, America, and England will have to break
up their iron-coated fleets and sell the pieces for old iron.
For such an achievement Baron Whitworth, in the opinion
of the Gaulois, deserves, at least, the offer of the English
drown:
