The Sun.
London, England, 1867-07-15 00:00:00

The following letter, dated Rome, July 7, says:—
Before commencing a detailed account of the
ceremonies of Saturday and Sunday, I must go back
and supply some details, wanting in my account of
preceding events. The Pope's address a
sistory, of the 26th, of which you will have had the
text last week, is said to have created so much
enthusiasm that the bishops could hardly restrain
themselves from applauding.
The First Vespers of the Feast were sung at half-
past five on Friday. On the Pope entering St.
Peter's the Chamber, which had been sitting, ac-
cording to custom, to examine the entry of various
kinds of tribute due to the Apostolic Chamber, had
to render an account to him of any tributaries which
are found wanting. On this occasion they had to
notice that Victor Emmanuel had failed to send the
gold chalice which he is bound to pay for the prin-
cipality of Masseroni and Crevecceur, alienated in
favour of one of his ancestors by Benedict XIV.
This has been left unpaid since 1858. Pius IX.
pronounced the usual protest against these defalca-
tions, and against the usurpers of the temporal
possessions of the Church.
But the special celebration of the Vigil was the
illumination of the dome of St. Peter's. As Ino
longer ago than Easter spoke of this beautiful
spectacle, I will not detain you with any descrip-
tion of it now, but only give you the benefit of a
piece of symbolism it suggested to a friend who was
looking at it with me. He said it reminded him of
a luminous tiara descended from above, and myste-
riously suspended over the shrine of the Apostles.
And in truth the form of the dome bears a striking
analogy with that of the triregno, and the illumina-
tion is so exquisite, it is much easier to believe it
has been let down from heaven than that it is the
work of human hands. The celebration of the
festival. itself was begun by a salute of 100 guns
from the , castle of St. Angelo, and the ringing of
all the bells of Rome for an hour at twelve o'clock
on Friday.
The Canonization of the Saints, however, is not
the work of a day. It is the solemn declaration of
the highest authority in the world, that certain
great and holy men have been depositories of su-
pernatural graces in an order above their fellows;
and this decision is only arrived at after the most
rigorous and lengthened inquisition, aided by con-
tinual and earnest prayer for the guidance of the
Holy Ghost. It is only after these long deliberations
that the Sovereign Pontiff proceeds to name a day
for the public celebration of the result. At the same
time he nominates a prelate whose duty it is to pro-
vide, together with the postulators, for all the de-
tails of the function ; he further elects a cardinal
to be the procurator of the Canonization, whose
part in the function is to stand at the foot of the
pontifical throne and implore the final sentence
from the lips of the Pope.
How the appeal of the Holy Father has been
responded to by the clergy and laity from all parts
of the world, to give effect to the solemnity of this
great occasion, you have seen in my former letters,
and when the great day arrived Rome truly repre-
sented its position of capital of the Catholic world.
Very early in the morning, while the clear blue
sky was as yet serene, and the air comparatively
fresh and cool—for the sun had not yet put on its
strength—the streets were already rejoicing in the
appearance of a gladsome holiday. So many were
astir that I could not help doubting whether num-
bers of the picturesque peasants had ever been to
bed at all, and whether the fervour of their devo-
tion and the love of their beautiful shrine, which
brought them from their mountain homes many a
steep mile on foot, had not also kept them astir all
night. I wonder how it is, if the roads be as unsafe
as we hear men say, that no one despoiled them by
the way of the massive " jewels of silver and
jewels of gold" which these peasant maidens wear
so daintily. It is an equal wonder how they manage
to appear without a soil of travel—their large white
sleeves and embroidered head-cloths refreshing one
in the midst of the heat with a thought of snow—
or a speck of dust on their bright petticoats and
many-coloured aprons. The attire of the men who
accompany them is not so spotless, but gay enough
in blue and red to help them out in diapering the
whole crowd of ordinary folk. Another diapering
it receives, too, from the habits of religious orders,
and congregations, and colleges, in a variety which
Rome only can display. Every vehicle of Rome,
too, is called into movement to-day, and the bridges
are thronged with files of them betimes.
The first external act of the function was the
starting of the procession from the left side of the
church down the straight part of the Colonnade,
and then across the piazza under an awning to the
other side, and so round to the great central door
--the procession being substantially the same as
that for Corpus Christi, consisting of representa-
tives of all the various orders of clergy, secular and
regular, seminaries, colleges, &c., &c., all bearing
lighted tapers, but, on this occasion, the banners of
the new saints, with their effigy on one side, and
some miracle of their lives on the other, were also
borne along. The distance traversed, also, is very
much shortened by the line of the awning I have
mentioned.
While this colossal procession was forming and
moving on ifs way, he who was the life and soul
of the day's mysteries was slowly descending
through the historic Loggie of the Vatican, pale and
serene, as after a night of watching and prayer.
In the Sistine Chapel, and flowing over into
" the Regal Hall " beyond, there awaited him,
ranged according to due prescription of precedence,
the procurators-general of Religious Orders, his
private chaplains, the Avvocati Concistoriali, the
Cameriari di onore e Segreti, a number of officers
of the household, and functionaries whose titles 1
forget, Uditori di Rota, the Maestro of the Sacred
Palace, &c. ; then came two chaplains, carrying,
the one his mitre, and the other the lighter tiara
which his Holiness wears in solemn functions ;
then an acolyte, swinging a censer ; and then
seven others, with seven candlesticks, and, in their
midst, an Uditore di Rota, bearing the pontifical
cross. After them, the sub-deacon and deacon,
who were to sing the Epistle and Gospel in Greek,
and an Uditare di Rota, who was to be sub-dea-
con in the High Mass ; then, the Grand Peniten-
tiaries of the. Vatican Basilica, preceded by two
little boys who carried the two long rods which
typify their office, wreathed with flowers.
- , Next, there fell in the long file of mitred abbots,
and of all the bishops in Rome, the archbishops,
and patriarchs, and the cardinals, in their respec-
tive orders—of bishops, priests, and deacons—and,
after them, the Conservatori del Popolo Romano, the
prefects of all the Rioni, or districts of Rome, and
the Governor of Rome. Then the cardinal who
has to sing the Gospel at the/ High Mass, walking
I between
prnvirtnoees, cardinal-deacons, and, finally, some

The choir intoned the Ave ! Maris Stella, and the

place in the Sedia Gestatoria. The cardinal I have

fully painted and wreathed. Two of these, which
were very large, it is the custom for him to hand
to the Roman princes named above as " in attend-
ance on the throne ;" the third he bore in his left
hand during the procession. This one was lighter
than the others, and,
furnishedwith a lace fall,
to protect the hand from the dropping of the
melted wax. Thus they bore him along in the
Sedia, lifted high in air, according to our ancient
rite, symbolizing the authority and vigilance of the

As this procession joins the
other, the Chapter

The court was densely crowded, and the greates
interest seemed to be felt in the proceedings.
Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. Ribton, in-
structed by Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marl-
borough-street, appeared for the prosecution ; and
Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. F. 11.
Lewis, instructed by Messrs. Valiance, for the de-
fence.
Mr. Coleridge read the clause of the. Act 6 George
IV. c. 24, under which the prosecution was insti-
tuted :—" If any person shall, by violence to the
person or property, or by threats or intimidation,
or by molesting or in any way obstructing another,
force or endeavour to force any journeyman, manu-
acturer, workman, or other person, hired or em-
f ployed in any manufacture, trade or business, to de-
part from his hiring, employment or work, or pre-
vent or endeavour to prevent any journeyman, manu-
facturer, workman, or other person, not being hired
or employed, from hiring himself to, or from ac-
cepting work or employment from, any person
or persons; or if any person shall use or employ
violence to the person or property of another, or
threats or intimidation, or shall molest or in way
obstruct another, for the purpose of forcing or in-
ducing such person to belong to any club or associa-
tion ; or if any person shall, by violence to the
person or property of another, or by threats or
intimidation, or by molesting or in any way ob-
structing another, force or endeavour to force any
manufacturer or person carrying on any trade or
business, to make any alteration in his mode of
regulating, managing, conducting, or carrying on
such manufacture, trade, or business, or to limit the
number of his apprentices, or the number and
occupation of his journeymen, workmen, or servants
—every person so offending shall be imprisoned for
any term not exceeding three calendar months:,
The learned gentleman then proceeded to say :—lt
is manifest the last part of the clause points to work-
men only, and is used for the protection of masters
only. But the same remark does not apply to the
earlier portion of the section. I have read both, in
order to direct your attention to the fact that the
first part is general and applicable to employers and
employed ; the second only applies to persons who
employ workmen. What is this first part? It is, if
a person endeavours, by molesting or obstructing, to
force or endeavour to force any workman to depart
from hiring, he shall be guilty of an offencu created
by the statute. I humbly submit it is not legal for
the masters to combine, as I shall prove them to
bare done. I have thought it my duty to point out
the distinction between the first and last part of the
section, and my argument is that the first part
applies to the rich man as well as the poor man.
James England—l was formerly in the employ
of Messrs. Mitchell and Harris, tailors, Cornhill. A
few days ago Mr. Harris handed me a circular. It
was like the one produced, but I do not think it is
an ex.act copy.
The circular was read by the clerk, and was as
follows :
" Master Tailors' Association of the United King-
dom, 25, Old Bond-street, London, W.
" Sir,—l am desired by the committee of this
association to annex for your information copies of
three resolutions passed at the bi-monthly meeting
of this association, held under Role XV., on Mon-
day, the 30th of June.—l am, yours obediently,
"N. F. PEACFI7 Secretary.
" ' Resolved, —That, after seeing the report of
the sub-committee appointed at the last general
meeting to consider the establishment of a non-
union house of call, this meeting is of opinion that
it is desirable to establish a register office for non-
unionists, as suggested, and that the same sub-
committee be instructed and empowered to take all
necessary steps at once to carry out their views as
expressed in the report.' Resolved,—That after
the formation of this registry office the members of
the Trade Tailors' Association will give to men who
have their names registered there the preference in
employment, and the members of the Master Tailors'
Association will give no work whatever to union
men.' Resolved,---That the thanks of this meet-
ing be given to the chairman for his courteous and
able conduct in the chair.' By order of the com-
mittee. . "N. F. PEACH, Secretary."
• Several witnesses having been examined,
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said—l ask you, Sir,
whether there is anything that calls on me to
answer it. Ido not wish to say a word in aggra-
vation of the existing feeling, which I hope soon to
see allayed. I submit, however, the prosecution
has not made out any case. I take a legal objec-
tion ; and first, with respect to the defendant
Lewis, his name has never been mentioned, and
there is an end of the case so far as he is concerned.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—As well as I can comprehend the
matter, the charge lies between Mitchell and Harris.
There is no case against Mitchell, nor against Abney
or the others.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—The only case, then, is
against Harris ; and Harris cannot conspire by him-
self. I ask you, Sir, as a lawyer, as I would ask
the judge, whether you think it necessary for me
to go on with this matter?
Mr. Coleridge—The way I venture to put it is
this, that resolutions were passed apparently at a
meeting of master tailors ; that Mitchell and Harris
directed the attention of the master tailors to a por-
tion of them—that portion containing conditions
that no master belonging to the association should
give work to a union man. That is direct
evidence against any one belonging to the associa-
tion—direct evidence in law of conspiracy, by com-
bining to give no work to union men. It is an illegal
thing to combine together to limit the class of men
the masters shall employ, and to do injury to a cer-
tain class of men in the trade of tailors. One person
may have a right to do certain things ; but if three
or four combine with the object of affecting the fair
gains of men working for their bread, that, we say,
is an illegal act, subjecting the parties to punish-
ment.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf two men meet in a room and

the union, could that bring
ing of the act? If masters, seeing that there is a
strike, met and said, " The workmen want more
money ; we will not employ union men, because
they ask higher prices, but will give the preference
to other men," does that form such a conspiracy as
the law contemplates ? It is but common sense if
one party says, I will work only for such prices,"
for the other party to say, " We will not pay them."
That cannot constitute a criminal act. I cannot
see that the means used are illegal, and the evidence
does not attack the difficulty in any way. I will
not cle6ide this case, but if asked by the prosecution
I will send it to another court.
Mr. Sergeant Ballautine --I understand that you
dismiss the case ?
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l dismiss the case in the words of
the act, without conviction or bail. If the other
side choose, they can have an opportunity of going
to another court.

Then the Cardinal-Procurator of the Canoni
zation, accompanied by an Avvocato Concistoriale,
was led up to the throne by a master of the cere-
monies, and after the prescribed salutation, the
Avvocato, in the name of the Cardinal-Procurator,
asked the Pontiff to be pleased to inscribe in the
catalogue of the saints the twenty-five Beati pro-
posed for Canonization. The following is the form
prescribed for the purpose :
BEATISSIME PATER 1
Reverendissimus D. Cardinalis N. Mc prmsens
instanter petit per Sanctitatem Vestram catalogo
Sanctorum D. N. J. C. adscribi, et tanquam Sane-
tos ab omnibus Christifidelibus pronunciari vene-
randos B. N.N.
To this the secretary de' Brevi a principi an-
nounced in the name of his Holiness that in a
matter of such sacred import it behoved first to
apply to the Throne of Divine Grace, invoking the
intercession of the great Mother of God, the Holy
Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, that
all might be celebrated piously and holily. The
Pope then knelt at a faldstool placed at the foot
of the throne, and two cantors of the Pontifical
Chapel intoned the Litany of the Saints, all the
people joining in the ready responses with the
gushing entrain, which commanded a remark in
my hasty letter of last Saturday.
At the last Agnus Dei the Pope rose, and the
Cardinal-Procurator advanced and proffered the
same petition as before, only adding instantius to
the instanter. The prelate who responded before
again made answer that, penetrated with the
sublimity of the offic-, to be performed, his Ifoli-
ness desired that yet further supplications should
be addressed to the Holy Ghost as the source of all
light, and holiness, and sanctity. The Pope knelt
again, and a cardinal standing on his left sum-
moned us to fulfil his Holiness's injunction with
a loud Orate. All knelt in silent prayer till the
cardinal on the right pronounced the Levate, when
two bishops advanced bearing lighted tapers and
the book, whence in clear, resounding notes, the
Holy Father began the VeniSreator, after which
he knelt for the first verse of the hymn. Once
more the people took up the familiar strains and
sang their prayer to heaven as if they would
"take it by force."
At its close the Pope said the prayer proper to
the office of the Holy Ghost.
Then the Cardinal-Procurator approached the
throne for the third time, saying the same words,
with the addition this time of instantissimus. This
time the prelate was charged to make answer that
the Pope was pleased to comply, upon which the
whole assembly rose to their feet, while the So-
vereign Pontiff seated, and wearing his mitre in
token of the plenitude of his powers at last pro-
nounced the great sentence, according to the fol-
lowing formula :
"Ad honorem Sanctm et individum Trinitatis,
ad exaltationem Fidei Catholicm, et .Christiance
Rcligionis augmentum auctoritate D. N. J. C.,
Beatorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli ac Nostra :
matura deliberatione prmhabita, et Divina ope

piscoporum et Episcoporum in Urbe existentium

cernimus, et definimus ac Sanctorum catalogo ad-

fices •, Marim Francis= die 6 Octobris ; Germanic,
die 15 Junii, inter Sanctas Virgines, pia devotione
recoli debere. In nomine Pa 44 tris, et Fi 44 lii,
et Spiritus 44 Sancti. Amen."
Some minor formalities were then completed,
and the Pope, once more submitting to the removal
of his mitre, gave out the first notes of the great
Ambrosias hymn, the triumphal completion of the
most jubilant acts of the Church. It was re-
marked that in this, as on each occasion that the
Holy Father had to speak aloud, his voice, always
ringing and majestic, was peculiarly loud, sweet,
and powerful, showing a vigour most unusual at
his age ; the notes, too, in the musical sentences
were singularly true and clear.
As if all Rome was sensitive of her new joy, there
burst at once on the ear from one point after an-
other of the Seven Hills every festive sound which
man has devised as a token of triumph and delight.

swered by the gladdest peals from those of St.
Peter's, while all around one the very air seemed
alive with the voices of the earnest people, going
up in exultation and thanksgiving before the
Throne of God.
Then, as if impatient to fill up the measure of
honour to the new impetrators of grace, ere the
last echo of the Te Deum had died away, the Car-
dinal-Deacon, standing on the right of the Pope,
intoned the versicle, Orate pro nobis sancti, &c.,
and the cantors having made the due response, the
Pope pronounced the prayer proper to the comme-
moration of the new saints. Then the Cardinal-
