[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.
—nflammations of sensitive parts' piles, fistulas, and such
like painful diseases, may without consulting auy one, be
presently relieved and ultimately cured by . tas proper and
diligent use of this cooling and healing ointment; whose
action should in such cases be assisted by judicious doses
of Holloway's Pills. Ere many days have elapsed the
anxious patient will experience a wonderful degree of ease
from this treatment. Doubts and fears will soon disap-
pear, and the sufferer will bliss the day on which he first
applied these remedies. They are equally suitable to both
sexes, all ages, and any climate ; nor is their efficiency im-
paired by long keeping. Their action on the frame is
soothing, safe, and certain.

The many different events that are now before the rac-
ing public, which may be truly designated legitimate races
to speculate upon, unlike what we have seen in previous
years at this period of the season, are productive of compa-
ratively little wagering. The Northamptonshire Stakes, so
far as the bating at present indicates, has the appearance of
being a very open race ; Rattlebone almost daily becomes a
worse favourite; and although 100 to 7 was the current
offer against him, we question if ho could have found sup-
porters to money at 20 to I—in fact, nchorse is in anything
like request for this event. For the City and Suburban
Handicap, the favourite Chere Arnie teemed to have had a
bad night, she receding, without any outlay, to 13 to 1,
offered ; while Homeward Bound increased in favour, and
would have been backed against Chera Arnie at the close.
The Chester Cup is at present almost a dead letter in the
betting market, only Viatka and Herne having stanch sup-
porters. 800 to 50 and 450 to 30 was taken about the for-
mer. An extensive commission was in the market to back
the latter at any advance upon 100 to 3, the only investment
made upon him that came to our knowledge was 700 to 20.
Buccaneer for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes seems to
have settled down at 5 to 2, take 3 to 1. 5 to 1 was takes to
a little money about the Wizard, and a point more would
have been taken about Lupulus. The only wager made on
the Derby was 1,000 to 18 against Richmond.

2HE NAVY.

It is stated that Vice-Admiral of the Blue Wm.
Faushawe At rrtin, is about to relieve Vice-Admiral
of the White Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., in the com-
mand of the Mediterranean fleet.
A rumour was prevalent yesterday in naval circles
that Captain G. Seymour, C. 8., commandinc, her
Majesty's ship Hero, would return to England for
the purpose of being intrusted with the command
of the vessel which conveys his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales to Canada.
The Meg era, screw troopship, Commander las.
Hunt, fitting at Portsmouth, on completing her
outfit, is expected to proceed to China.
Tho Ariadne, 2(, screw, Captain E. W. Vansit-
tart, will sail to day from Spithead for Cork, and
thence on a short cruise. She has been detained at
Spithead to have some repairs carried out to the
hoisting gear of her propeller.
The screw steamship Trafalgar, 90, Capt. E. G.
Fansha we, in Ilamoaze, Plymouth, broke adrift
during the storm of Wednesday, in consequence of
a defect in one of the links of the mooting chain.
The watch let go both anehnr4 in a very seamanlike
manner. Had the link been broken during the
night it would have been very difficult to avoid ,
doing damage in the crowded anchorage.
The lighter Haumaze, Thomas Webber, master, 1'
with supernumeraries and sails for the Centurion,
left Plymouth on Tuesday for Portland.
The screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. K. Barnard,
was removed from Keyhain-basin on Thursday, to
her moorings in Hamoaze. She will make a trial
trip early next month.

The paddlewheel steamvessel Harpy, 1, having
received supernumeraries and stores, left Plymouth
on Thursday for Greenock, where she takes the duty
of the Goshawk as tender to the Coastguard ship
Hogue.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty ;—Francis 11. llosall, surgeon, to
the Mogrera ; Charles Benjamin Hargrave, acting
third-class assistant engineer to the Cumberland, for
temporary service in the Adder ; Joseph Churcher,
chief engineer, to the Asia, for charge of machinery
of the Medea ; Sampson Harris, chief engineer, to
the Wellington, for service in the Howe; George
K. Kenton, chief engineer, to the Wellington, for
service in the Brunswick ; Thomas L. Walker, chief
engineer, to the Asia, for service in the Sutlej.

The :Void publishes the chief portions of the reply
of the Papal Government to the despatch of M. de
Thouven el respecting the Romagna. The document
(says the Nord) is too long to give ill extenso, but
we extract those passages which make known the
resolutions of the Court of Rome ane. its secret hopes.
Cardinal Antonelli commences by denying the
motives attributed as the cause of the rising in the
Romagna. What proves, b' says, that the Romag-
noles were not dissatisfied is that the other pro-
vinces of the Church did not revolt. Piedmont is
at the bottom of it all. The Cardinal dwells at great
length on this point. He also endeavours to throw
blame on France for the campaign in Lombardy,
but prudence gets the better of his resentment, and,
suddenly coming to the real point in question, he
declares that it ought to be well understood that if
the Pope rejects the counsels of his protector it is
because he is compelled to do so by a higher prin-
ciple, and that, moreover, that is not the exact
point to be considered, but the promises of assist-
ance given last year, in the month of March, by the
ambassadors of France and Austria.
The Cardinal then continues as follows :
" But every one sees that this has nothing to do
with the means best calculated to restore the patri-
mony of the Church in all its integrity to the Holy
Father, according to the declarations made at that
period.
" Relative to that supreme object the past offers
many rernini.geenees which may facilitate the
means ; the present consists of a refusal of effica-
cious help. Difficulties are thrown in the way of
any one attempting it ; detrimental delays are oc-
casioned ; advice is given to submit to men who
are by no means conciliatorily inclined; reforms
are proposed which the Holy Father has first to
weigh before God ; finally, advice is given to ab-
dicate in part what cannot in any manner be done.
" If it was still possible some months back to en-
tertain the illusion of the possibility of pacifying
the different States of Italy by means of reforms
and concessions ; such an illusion can no longer be
entertained, since those parties have publicly de-
clared, as in the pretended memorandum of the
Government of Bologna, and as one of the chief
authors of the revolt hai done in a recent pamph.
let, that no reform can satisfy them except the fall
and absolute destruction of the temporal power of
the Church. Is it possible with men so inclined,
fo conic to an arrangement by means of reforms ?
" Despite all this, the Holy Father has not turned

a deaf car to the proposals Of reforms submitted to
him by the French Government. He even eagerly
welcomed them ; he only made one condition--
that those reforms should not be contrary to his
conscience and to the real welfare of his subjects.
"M. Thouvenel cannot be ignorant of the nego-
tiations which took place at Rome between the
Pontifical Government and the French Ambassa-
dor, and he must be aware of the result. The
Imperial Government was satisfied with it.
This is evident, first, from a declaration made
by Count Walewski relative to the subject; then,
in his despatch numbered 1,367, dated the 13th of
October of last year; and finally by the eagerness
shown a few months since by the same Govern-
ment to behold the said reforms inmediately pro-
mulgated. The reasons, however, which indaced
the Holy Father to postpone such a step until the
insurgent provinces had returned to order cannot
escape any one.
" To have acted otherwise would not have been
conformable either to the dignity of the Sovereign
Pontiff nor suitable to achieve the object in view.
On the one hand, it would have appeared as if the
concessions were made under pressure, and not
voluntarily ; on the other hand, there was the
danger that the reforms might have been disdain-
fully received. In either case authority would
have suffered.
" The Prole!' Government understood the
strength of this reasoning ; consequently, through
the said Count Walewski, it made known unto us
at that time that it would cease to urge them, as
new imperious conjunctures might advise a diffe-
rent course—a prevision which has not been rea.
lised. Moreover, the publication of those reforms
was not the means to reduce the insurgents of the
Romagna to obedience. In their pretended memo-
randum they stated what they wanted.
" But, if the Holy Father can consent that re-
forms may be spoken of, it is impossible for him to
listen to a partial abdication. Motives of a far
different bearing than terrestrial interests forbid it.
Now, nothing less than a partial abdication is sug-
gested in the letter forwarded from Desenzano
under date of the 14th of July of last year.
The principal portion of that letter is given textu-
ally in the despatch of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs ; this seems to denote a renewal of the pro-
position, or at least to make it believed that if the
revolt is not suppressed in the Romagna the cause
is to be attributed to the refusal to adhere to that
proposition. Now, your Excelleney will easily
understand that a separate administration, with an
elective council, with no other dependence upon the
Sovereign Pontiff except the nomination by him of
a lay governor and the payment of a tribute, would
be equivalent to absolute abdication. There would
remain, it is true, a certain suzerainty, but that now-
a-days means nothing.
" I shall not endeavour to show, as I easily might
do, the vain hope of expecting from such a combi-
nation a termination or trouble, a guarantee of
tranquillity in the other Papal provinces—the seeds
of a future of peace and tranquillity. It is clear
that it would be precisely the contrary that would
have to be feared. I shall simply observe that the
Holy Father cannot consent to an abdication of
any sort whatever, and that he never can do so from
the motives indicated in his encyclical letter of the
19th of January last. He cannot do so because his
States are not his personal property, but belong to
the Church, for whose advantage they were consti-
tuted ; has cannot do so because by solemn oaths he
has promised to God to transmit them to his succes-
sors intact, as he received them ; he cannot do so,
because, considering that the motives for giving up
the Romagna may be applicable or may follow is
other portions of his States, such renunciation would
imply, in a certain degree, the renunciation of the
whole patrimony of the Church; he cannot do so,
because, as common father of his 21 provinces,
he must either procure for all the good he destines
for the four provinces of the Romagna, or shield
the latter from the evils which he should not like to
see fall upon the others ; he cannot do so, because
it cannot be indifferent to hire to behold the spiritual
ruin of a million of his subjects, who would be aban-
doned to the mercy of a party which would com-
mence by laying snares for their faith and by cor-
rupting their morals ; finally, he cannot do it
because of the scandal that would ensue to the de-
triment of the Italian Princes de facto unthroned,
and also to the detriment of all Christian Princes
and of the whole of civilised society—a scandal
which could not fail to arise when the felony of a
faction is seen crowned with such success.

"Pius VI., having in vain attempted.to defend
himself against the arms of a powerful enemy, was
compelled to give in to irresistible violence, and,
not to see the remainder of his territory invaded
by French troops, to resign himself to the abandon-
ment of a portion of his States by the treaty of
Toleutino. But, if the different circumstances are
considered, it will easily be seen that the same mo-
tive which induced that Pope to cede obliges the
reigning Pontiff to reply by an absolute refusal.
Pius VI., under circumstances totally different from
the present, found himself opposed to an invincible
violence and material force ; Pius IX., on the con-
trary, is struggling with a principle which an at-
tempt is made to enforce. Now, material force is
simply a fact—from its very nature it is limited,
and it is only felt within the circle of its action, be-
yond which it cannot go. But it is far different as
regards principles. Irom their nature they are
universal they are inexhaustible ; they are not
limited within a fixed circle of action, but are
applicable to all things. Thus, Pius VI. by ceding
to material force might reasonably rope to save the
rest of his States, while the reignine. Sovereign
Pontiff; ceding to a pretended principle,° would vir-
tually abdicate the sovereignty of all his States,
and would authorize a spoliation against every
principle of justice and of reason. Thus it will be
seen that the example quoted in the circular leads
rather to a conclusion the very opposite to the one
aimed at.

" Thus, if hitherto no efficacious remedy has been
found to put an end to the ievolt in the Romagna,
the fault must be attributed to others rather than
to the Holy Father, who cannot get any aid what-
soever to suppress it, who showed himself quite
willing to condescend to the proposal of reforms,
only asking to wait for the proper time to intro-
duce them, and who, on the proposal of a partial
abdication, could only reply by a refusal, without
the example of a Pontiff who ceded to ♦iolence and
to the consequences of war suggesting to him any
other line of conduct.
" The reasons giyen above to demonstrate the
