matters I have had to write about, little time is
left me to speak of the popular fetes which in

themselves deserve a lengthened notice. I cannot

say I have been able to go into many of them my-
self ; but I hear various accounts of the delight
they have afforded to this holiday-loving people,
and no less to their numerous visitors. One of the
amusements most dwelt upon were the biga races,
in the grounds of Prince Borghese. These were
on the model of the ancient Roman chariots, driven
by charioteers in antique costume.
The Museums have been thrown open ; those of
the Capitol lighted in the evenings by artificial
light. All the public buildings and private houses
have been frequently illuminated with great taste
and magnificence.
In spite of the immense crowds from all parts,
which, it is said, doubled the population, there has
not been the least absence of order in any part
even for a moment. In fact, the forbearing con.
duct reigning throughout, must have struck and
. edified every one used to the rougher and noisier
, manners of the North.

The Duca Salviati and several of the Roman
princes have thrown their houses open for brilliant
receptions in the evenings.
I have heard it frequently asserted of late that
several of the young scions of noble Roman families
have entered the ranks of the Pontifical army in
the simplest and most unostentatious way. I did
not like to mention it as long as it appeared to be
merely on dit. I was, however, assured yesterday
of the truth of the report, from a most authentic
source, so that I no longer feel hesitation in an-
nouncing it to you. There is no doubt this step
will have the best effects here.
I hear the Pontifical Government has, at the
present moment, sufficient funds to pay all expenses
up to next July. His Holiness intends to take a
month's villeggiatura at Castel Gondolfo this
autumn. Last year he did not leave Rome at all.—
