funds of the union. liellewell engaged t
at-
torney, but we did not tell him to do so. Thomp-
son was innocent. I believe Hellewell did not see
the money paid by Baylis for committing the out-
rage. I only agreed that Wastnidge should be
beaten, and I never gave money for the purchase of
powder. Renshaw asked me once for money, and
I told him I had nothing to do with it. Baylis, who
was with me, said he would make it all right.
Have you seen Renshaw lately?--1 saw him yes-
terday, and ho told we I ought to go to hell for
" snitching" (telling).
IVhat dia you say ?—I told him it was his own
fault, as ht.: had gone up and down telling what he
had done. lle slid it was a-- lie. I then
walked away. I had nothing to do with any other
outrage. No one ever told me anything about
threatening letters sent to the men .at Mr. Hoole's.
All I had to do with the outrage in Acorn-street
was to receive money from Baylis, and pay it to
Renshaw. I quite, however, disapproved of the
act. The only persons present when the outrage
was planned were myself, Renshaw, Baylis, and an
old man whose name Ido not know. No one else
to my knowledge knew anything of the outrage,
and I only agreed that Wastni( lge should be
thumped.
On your oath had you not deliberated among
yourselves and agreed that he should be blown up ?
—No, we had not. Baylis and Ite•ashaw wanted to
blow him up, but I would not hear of it. Thompson
also was anxious that Wastnidge sb ould be beaten,
but not blown up.

A letter from Rome, dated June 19, says :
The series of feste has commenced. The Pope
held a Cappella Papale in the Sixtine Chapel the
day before yesterday, on the occasion of the anni-
versary of his election. The Mass was celebrated
by Cardinal Morichini, the second cardinal created
by his Holiness. The Pope afterwards received
the congratulations of the Sacred College, ad-
dressed to him by Cardinal Patrizzi, subdean of
the Sacred College. The reception was made as
short as possible, in order to spare the Holy Father
unnecessary fatigue, in consideration of the ar-
duous work before him. There was no political
allusion either in the address or in the Pope's reply.

Irs:st;.•.rday, and four following days, were to
be devoted to audiences of the various members of
the corps diplomatique, ministers, prelates, Govern-
ment officers, the Senator of Rome, &c., on the
occasion of the anniversary of St. Peter and of
the Pope's Coronation, on the 21st.
The members of the corp..; diplomatique are ad-
mitted one after another separately, so as to avoid
jealousies as to precedence ; prelates, college by
college ; State officers, all together.
On the 21st is to be another Cappella Papale ;
the Mass to be celebrated by the first cardinal
created by the Holy Father.
It is announced that his Holiness will take
part in the annual procession of Corpus Christi,
which shows he is pretty well. Ile walked also
in the Pinico yesterday, and for a long way up the
Corso, followed by an immense crowd of Romans
and foreigners, who hailed him loudly in his cha-
racter both of Pope and King.
The number of superior ecclesiastics arrived has
risen now to between 280 and 300, and the streets
are filled with pilgrims of every degree.
We continue to hear of an occasional isolated
case of disorder which people like to call cholera,
in the most crowded and poorest districts—the
Trastevere and the Monti, but the Municipality are
growing very particular and vigorous in their
sanitary regulations, which will prove of great be-
nefit to the salubrity of these localities.
The only news of brigandage we have heard of
late is a report of a band of about forty in the
province of 'Viterbo, chased over the border by a
detachment of Pontifical soldiers. We seem
guaranteed for any question of an &Lenge for
some time to come, by the spirit of division which
has been developing in the ranks of the revo-
lutionary party. One faction wants the rising to
begin in Rome among the Romans, only the Ro-
mans wont rise ; and another faction wants to
send in a revolutionary column raising the country
as it moves along. There is no doubt that they
are to a great extent kept in check by the Ponti-
fical army, which, in spite of the smallness of
its numbers, is formidable by its enthusiasm and
devotion. Consequently their great work is to thin
its ranks, and nothing is left untried towards this.
The Tivoli poisoning was part of a great scheme
with this purpose, which,, however, had no very
extensive success. They are now bribing a consi-
derable number to come over to their ranks, and,
by suggestions of discontent, inducing others to
desert. It can only be the worst spirits, however,
who can be thus influenced, and a little such weed-
ing, though it may thin, will not weaken the Pon-
tifical forces.
Most of the foreign bishops have brought consi-
derable offerings to the Holy Father from their
dioceses. Mgr. Ledochoweki, Archbishop of
Posen, brings 100,000 thalers ; Mgr. Stercka, Car-
dinal Archbishop of Mechlin, 400,000 francs ;
Mgr. Gainza, Bishop of Nueva-Citceres, 500,000
francs ; the Archbishop of,Westminster, £5OO, as
you know, and so on. The Florence revolutionary
papers appear to be greatly incensed at this, and
write as it they would like to waylay the bishops
and annex to the Revolution the money of which
they are the bearers.
As St. Peter's day falls this year on a Saturday,
which is kept as a fast in Rome, the Cardinal Vicar
announces a dispensation for this year only.
The Municipality has voted 50,000 fr. to defray
the expenses of a conversazione with musical and
poetical recitations to be given to the foreign
bishops in the Capitol, from the windows of which
they will have the opportunity of seeing the ruins
of the Forum illuminated by Bengal lights.
Pius IX. intends to crown his pontificate by an
act worthy of himself and of his eventful age—so
full both of light and darkness. On time 26th or
the 29th of .Tune he will announce to the assem-
bled bishops his intention to hold a general council
in a year and a half from this time.
Though this resolution has only just transpired,
Italian revolutionists are already up in arms about
it. Thoy apprehend its importance better, per-
haps, than many Catholics ; and feel the effect such
a move is likely to have on their late develop.
meat, and how it is likely to increase the strength
and vigour of the Church.
When one seriously considers the relative situa-
tion of the world and the Chub'', one sees, indeed,
that this act is necessary, that it is not the simple
result of the will of one man, but that it issues
from the dictates of the Holy Ghost Himself.
For the world has undergone great modifications
of moral attitude, and he whom St. John calls
Princeps hujus mundi reigns supreme, and this, it
must be confessed, is more true of the so-called
Catholic countries than of those in which religious
error is established. Thus, at this very moment
Pius IX. is surrounded by members of the Epis-
copate from England, Holland, America, and the
extreme East, who come to him full of joy and
hope at the daily-increasing proportions of their
