The following letter, dated Rome, Aug. 26, says :
The cholera continues its ravages, and it is
very remarkable that as in 1837 and 1854, it is
all the lowest part of the town by the river which
is spared, while heights of the Ccelien, the Aven-
tine, and the Esquiline are the worst stricken.
What is more remarkable, Frascati, Tivolio, Alban,
and Velletri, generally so healthy, are now more
suffering than Rome, so that those who had taken
refuge there have made their way back in all
speed, and some are trying Viterbo and Civita
Vecchia.

Two Lazarettos have been appointed in Rome
for, the poor--one near the Hospital of St. John
Lateran, for women,and one for men at the Hos-
pital of San Spirito. The Pope has added ano-
ther donation of 25,000 francs for distribution
among the poor and suffering. The people had
begun getting up among themselves processions
with Litanies and prayers against the cholera, but
they have been stopped by authority as tending
to excite alarm in the people. Triduos, however,
ai' going on at many churches.
,‘ The attacks of cholera are every day decreas-
ing, and even in Albano it is on the wane. When
it was at its highest the gallant bearing of the
Zouaves had a wonderful effect in allaying the
excitement of the people. One of the officers
was frequently seen fearlessly bearing the bodies
of those who had died of it on his shoulders to
their last resting place. Many have received de-
corations from the Pope in acknowledgment of their
conduct. Besides the fund already mentioned for
the relief of the poor of Rome, the Pope has sent
2,000 scudi for distribution among the distressed
Jews. Those who could afford it have gone away
to any near place of refuge. Thus Ardra and
Pratica, two poor villages by the sea, usually the
resort of none but shepherds and goatherds, have
been crowded with visitors. We have had none of
the fearful scenes which have been enacted at
Naples. The latest report of the

was afterwards published with his name in a Ger-

would do its duty." The French Government
demanded his surrender, and it was only by great
firmness on Mgr. de Merode's part that the de-

BOCLOGNE, Aug. 21.
Perhaps a few words about the fetes of Boulogne
may interest your readers. They began on the
15th inst. Our glorious Cathedral was seen in
full splendour in the morning of that day. Two
of the principal parishes went in procession, headed
by the suisse, the cross-bearer and acolytes, and
accompanied by their respective clergy, to the
Cathedral, to pay homage to Our Lady of Boulogne.
At ten a.m. a grand High Mass was celebrated
by Mgr. Rappe, Bishop of Cleveland, Cincinnati,
U.S., and formerly a student in Mgr. Haffreingue's
well-known college here. As most of your readers
are no doubt aware it is to Mgr. Haffreingue's
untiring exertions that Boulogne has her noble
Cathedral, that magnificent monument built in
honour of Mary Immaculate. The Abbe Debette,
acted as Master of the Ceremonies, with his usual
success. In the evening Grand Vespers were per-
formed, and at seven p.m. the first sermon of the
Station was preached by a Jesuit Father, con-
cluding with solemn Benediction. On Friday
several pilgrimages went to the Cathedral, and
among them the parish of St. Nicholas, where the
preceding day a grand official Te Deem had been
sung for the Emperor. Two sermons in the morn-
ing and one in the evening were preached by one of
the three Jesuit Fathers. After the last solemn
Benediction given on Friday night by the Vicar-
General the Lord Bishop of Arras, assisted by
Mgr. e and Mgr. Manelli, Bishop of Porphy-
ril m (RaPinPpartibus), and Papal Sacristan. He is an
Augustinian, and highly esteemed and respected
at Rome, not less for his great learning than for
his virtuous and holy life. He is accompanied by
an attendant of his order. In virtue of his office
as Papal Sacristan, he presides absolutely over all
the churches and chapels attached to the Apostolic
Palace, wherein he exercises episcopal jurisdiction.
He has also the care of the Pontifical treasury of
holy relics. Owing to his peculiar functions he
rarely quits the Holy Father, so that his presence
is an unusual honour. lie has been named by
the Pope to offer the homage of his Holiness
at the shrine of Our Lady of Boulogne ; also to
present to the zealous founder of the Cathedral
the expression of his benevolent regard. On Sa-
turday morning the great edifice was filled by a
countless assemblage of children of both sexes
from the different parishes and schools assembled
for the sacrament of Confirmation. The excellent
behaviour and neatappearance of all these children,
who were attended by the good nuns and the
brothers of St. Joseph Calasantius (Christian Bro-
thers), must have edified all beholders ; only in a
Catholic church could such a scene be witnessed.
The kind, good bishop spoke feelingly to the as-
sembled little ones, and besides his lordship's ad-
dress an eloquent discourse, suitable to the occa-
sion, was preached by a worthy priest of one of the
parishes. The church was thronged with strangers,
among whom were many English, who were, as
usual, easily recognized by their eccentricities of
dress and behaviour. During Saturday some Eng-
lish Catholics from London arrived to take part in
the grand procession of the Sunday ; but their
number fell far short of what a London Catholic
paper had led us here to expect. Among these
came the celebrated Father Hermann, of Kensing-
ton, Dr. Fan di Bruno, of the Italian Church, and
some other priests. The venerable Bishop of Troy
was also looked for, but did not appear; his ab-
sence caused general regret. On Saturday even-
ing, after the sermon, Benediction was given by
Mgr. Cataldi, Roman prelate and Master of the
Ceremonies to the Pope. Sunday came, but the
morning was wet and cold, so that all hopes of the
procession were at first abandoned. However, our
good Lady of Boulogne did not desert her children ;
the afternoon cleared up, and at the hour named
for the starting all was bright and genial. The
houses were all tastefully decorated with blue and
white draperies, the colours of our Lady. And
hereess
English residents in the town, who
always refuse to show any gratitude for the hos-
pitality they receive. No houses in their posses-
sion displayed any token of respect ; not even the
Consulate hung out so much as a single drapery,
passed down the Grand
houses are let to the
English, the deficiency was particularly conspicu-
ous. In the upper town the Church of St. Joseph
was beautifully adorned, and under the arch of the
pvreorycesmsioanny
doorway a temporary altar was raised, decorated
with a statue of our Lady. Next came the Con-
vent of the Annonciades, which was prettily got
up—blue and white draperies with garlands of blue
roses and very neat spangled flags in the principal
windows ; in other streets, garlands from house
to house. All seemed to vie with each other in thus
testifying their love and affection for their powerful
patroness over the Porte des Dames. On each side
of the statue of our Lady, which stands over the
principal archway, were the Papal arms, with those
of Boulogne, surmounted by the tiara and keys
and flags of the Papal colours. The public build-
ings were all decorated ; the windows all well
filled ; for, though the English Protestants decline
ornamenting their balconies and houses, yet their
curiosity prevails over their Puritanical antipathies.
They insolently apply the term idolatry to the true
worship of God in His Holy Church, and yet it is
a well-known fact that in every continental city
these very people are the first to run and stare at
the church functions, where they invariably dis-
tinguish themselves by their vulgarly offensive
behaviour. Their conduct in Rome is too well
known to require comment here. Who has not
seen them at St. Peter's in Holy Week ?
The procession started at 4.30 p.m., preceded by
those of the different parishes of the city and
neighbourhood. First came Portel, a fishing vil-
lage outside Boulogne.
The dress of the women
is peculiarly interesting and striking. After the
cross-bearer and acolytes came a party of cabin
boys, dressed in the Imperial sailor dress, carrying
the image of our Lady in its bag, they having
chosen her for their patroness. Then followed a
banner of the Holy Infancy, borne by boys, fol-
lowed by girls bearing baskets of flowers ; then the
Sodality of the Rosary—the banner borne by young
girls dressed in red. Then came girls clad in
white, bearing different attributes of our Lady ;
then a group of women, with the ex voto ; again,
young girls with white veils and blue scarfs, carry-
ing an ex cot°. Then a number of married women
in their national costume—black. The image of
our Lady in its boat, with the two angels, was
borne by young women sinning Ace Maris Stella.
0
Lastly came the clergy of the parish. Next in
order was the parish of St. Francis de Sales.
After the suisse, the cross-bearer, &c., came a
group of gardeners, with a banner of St. Francis
de Sales, followed by children in white, with dif-
ferent attributes; then the banner of Mary Im-
maculate and its attendants ; then young girls
with the emblems of the Sacred Heart of Mary;
banner of St. Augustine and its accompaniments,
followed by the children of the Christian Brothers'
school. Next the relic of St. Francis de Sales ;
statue of Our Lady of the INlost Precious Blood,
followed by cantors and the parochial clergy ; then
came the parish of St. Peter ; after the suisse,
the cross-bearer and acolytes, came a cross in
flowers carried by girls ; then a banner of the Holy
Infancy borne by girls, and followed by other
girls carrying baskets of flowers and a banner of
our Lady; then the boys' banner of the Holy Child-
hood, and banner of the Holy Angels, escorted by

Brothers' schools in two lines, bearing stan-
dards, in the midst of them a very beautiful creche
with the Holy Infant Jesus ; children of the
same school singing hymns ; initials of the sweet
name of Mary borne by children from the schools
of the Sisters of Charity (Tivoli) ; Confraternity of
the holy Angels of the same school ; children of
Mary (same school) with very elegant baskets
of flowers from the Asylum of the Sisters of St.
Joseph, Rue du Château ; the pupils of the
Ursuline Nuns, with banners ; forty young ladies
of a private school (Mdlles. Fontaine), carrying a
large cross formed of flowers, garlands, and im-
' mense nosegays ; the initials of Marie, carried by,
and the streamers held by, young ladies ; banner
of the Immaculate Conception, carried by girls
dressed in white and blue, others dressed alike
bearing oriflammes and the initials of Mary in
flowers, very beautiful; a basket of roses and
lilies, carried by children in white and gold, fol-
lowed by the children who had just made their
First Communion ; some of the children of Mary,
with a banner and basket of flowers ; then came
a splendid reliquary with relics of St. Maximus,
bishop and patron of Boulogne, carried by young
men of the parish ; banner of St. Joseph; patron of
the parish, followed by the reliquary with relics,
escorted by a group of men carrying red gauze
standards ; banner of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
borne by men with red sashes, followed by the
lady members of the confraternity, bearing a
heart suspended by a red ribbon ; the day boarders
of the Ursuline convent, with a banner of silver
gauze and golden bouquets, wearing silver gauze
sashes; banner of Our Lady, the young ladies who
formed the escort carrying lilies ; a golden heart
which is offered by the parish as an ex voto to
Our Lady of Boulogne; a beautiful silver statue
of Our Lady of Boulogne in her boat, carried by
eight young girls dressed in white, with wreaths of
white roses and blue shoulder scarfs. Then came

the :acolytes, choristers, and parochial clergy.
Sixthly, and lastly, came the procession of the
parish of St. Nicholas, a description of which I will
forward for next week, as it is particularly in-
teresting. This was followed by the religious con-
gregations of the place ; namely, the Little Sisters
of the Poor, the daughters of St. Vincent de Paul,
the Sisters of St. Joseph, the Sisters of our Lady
of Bon Secours, and the Brothers of the Christian
Schools. Between the ranks of the Brothers of

the Christian Schools walked young clerics, vested
in alb and dalmatic, carrying the holy relics of the
following local saints :—St. Ida (widow), St.
Godeliva (virgin and martyr), St. Julius I. (Pope
and confessor), St. Agatha (Pope and confessor),
St. Folquin (bishop and confessor), St. Fuscienus
(martyr), St. Vincent (Levite and martyr), St.
Martin (bishop and confessor), St. Cecilia (virgin
and martyr), St. Maximus (bishop and confessor),
patron of the Boulognese ; St. Martha, St. Mary
Magdalen, and St. Lazarus, St. Joseph (ex veste),
the Most Holy Virgin Mary (ex veste, ex fascia
pectorali, et ex capillis).

Then came the cortege of honour, consisting of
a group of young children escorting the banner
of the Queen of Angels ; a group of young ladies
in white dresses and tunics starred and fringed
with gold, veils and crowns white and gold ; a
group of young ladies in blue dresses and white
tunics starred with silver, veils and crowns white
and silver. These two groups last named carried
in turns the hand of the miraculous statue, upon
a litter, with bearing-staves. The ladies who were
not engaged in carrying the litter ranged them-
selves on either side as an escort to the precious
remains of the miraculous statue.

Lastly, the procession closed by the principal
object in it, namely, the Statue of Our Lady of
Boulogne, carried by sailors, and accompanied by
the cantors of the different parish churches of the
city in two ranks ; the clergy in two ranks, all
chanting hymns in honour of Our Lady of Bou-
logne. Then came the incumbents and canons
from this and: other dioceses, all vested in copes ;
the rev. preachers on the present occasion, Mgr.
Ilaffreingue, Protonotary Apostolic, Mgr. Rappe,
Bishop of Cleveland, America, Mgr. Lequette,
Bishop of Arras, Boulogne, and St. Omer ; persons
of distinction of the city, and strangers ; military ;
and, last of all, the faithful. Of these last the
concourse was, I need not say, immense.

August 29.
I believe I forgot in my last communication to
state that the English pilgrims mustered, all
things considered, pretty strong, and carried a
handsome banner of St. Simon Stock giving the
scapular to our Lady. The celebrated Pere Her-
mann was the chief agent in arranging this first
visit of the English pilgrims to the throne of Our
Lady of Boulogne. They sung hymns in English,
and they had assigned them the place of honour
in the procession. Let us hope this will be only
the beginning of their visits in a religious way.
On Sunday, the 25th, a very touching procession
took place round the old ramparts of the ancient
town, and the pilgrims from the parishes of St.
Severin and St. Roch, of Paris, who arrived on
Saturday, accompanied by their suisse, cross-
bearers and clergy joined the procession. The
people had the satisfaction of seeing their vener-
able and beloved priest, Mgr. Haffreingue, taking
part in it, accompanied by Mgr. Marinelli, Bishop
(in partibus) and Papal Sacristan, who gave Ponti-
fical High Mass in the morning, assisted by Mgr.
Cataldi, one of his Holiness's Masters of Cere-
monies, distinguished by his placid and saintly
bearing. In the evening Pere Hermann preached
a most eloquent and touching sermon on the love
of God, manifested towards his creatures in so
many ways, particularly in the Holy Eucharist.
Although the discourse lasted an hour, the audi-
ence were attentive and interested all the time, and
seemed only to regret the conclusion. This was
followed by some sacred music, splendidly given
by some members of the choirs of St. Roch, from
Paris. The procession was favoured by splendid
weather. The bishop of the diocese had to leave
for Arras on Thursday to be there to meet the
Emperor, who was to be there on the 26th. The
number of priests from Paris was remarkable.
Every day is marked by numberless pilgrimages
from all parts—from Calais, Amiens, Abbeville,
and the neighbouring towns, villages, &c., and
who witnessing these can ever doubt how truly
Catholic the French are, and how zealous and
faithful in loving Mary, the Queen of Heaven
and Earth, Men and Angels ? Surely she must
look benignly on her faithful children, and grant
them all their lawful requests. It is something so
refreshing to see this unaffected genuine piety and
devotion.

On Wednesday, tse Feast of the great St.
Augustine, there was a solemn High Mass at the
Ursuline Convent, and at Vespers a splendid ser-
mon by Pere Hermann.

To-day, at the Redemptorists Church, High
Mass was sung by Monsignor Cataldi, and sermon
by Pere /lemma, Every day the sermons con-

his (my father's) intimacy with Sir Charles Barry.
The following is corroborative evidence which I
have just obtained :-Ist. A considerable number
of the Westminster Palace drawings which were
made by my father are in the hands of a gentle-
man who will, no doubt, give his testimony in
the case. Among them are also to be found some
of Sir Charles's drawings from my father's designs.
2nd. These designs are of the same character as
those prepared for Mr. Charles Scarisbrick, of
which ten volumes exist. 3rd. An intimate friend
of my father's has written to say that my father
told him in confidence that he was the designer of
the Houses. 4th. One of the first publishers of
the day writes to me as follows :--" I know that

your father assisted Barry and Graham, by his
stating to me that his own designs would suffer
by so doing." The same gentleman has since
informed me that he mounted some very elabo-
rate designs of my father's, which were prepared
for Mr. Barry for Trentham, several months before
he began upon those for the Houses. sth. I have
lately come into possession of a considerable
number of Sir Charles's original letters, which
completely disprove Mr. Edward M. Barry's
assertion that my father had not designed for Sir
Charles since 1850.

The following is negative evidence Mr.
E. M. Barry states that his father destroyed the
whole of his correspondence. 2nd. Mr. W.
Wright, who traced many of my father's draw-

ings, refuses to give any evidence whatever. I
have, however, other witnesses to call, should it
be necessary.
I will now proceed to test the value of the ad-
verse evidence. Mr. Talbot Bury says, "It was
not until Sir Charles had completed his design in
pencil that my father had anything to do with
the work ;" and " the assistance he subsequently
rendered was undoubtedly confined to details."
Mr. 'Wolfe, in direct opposition to this, states
that " Pugin, under Barry's instructions, made
some perspective views of the building before
the competition, but these were ultimately set
aside, and the building as it now stands does not
exhibit a single feature designed by him." So
between the two it does not appear for what work
my father was paid 400 guineas. It could
hardly have been for acting as temporary draw-
ing clerk (although candidly admitted by Mr.
Wolfe to have been " one of the highest
order"), even were the " amusing criticisms" and
" valuable suggestions " thrown into the bargain.
This mutual undervaluing is as incredible as it

is ungenerous. It is not denied that for an entire
set of drawings Mr. G. Graham paid 300 guineas.
By analogy may it not be inferred that what Sir
C. Barry purchased for 400 guineas were designs
still more valuable ? Mr. T. Bury asserts that
"Mr. Graham's designs were completed before
Mr. Pugin touched any drawings for Sir Charles
Barry." I can show that both sets of drawings
were prepared simultaneously, and that towards
the end my father had the entire direction of
both, and worked at both on the same day. Re-
garding the period when Mr. Bury says that my
father first saw Sir Charles, I have only to observe
that the diary proves this statement to be altoge-
ther incorrect.

Mr. Talbot Bury can also "positively deny that
my father's letter of 1845 was written at Sir
Charles's solicitation ;" while Mr. Wolfe frankly
avows that "it was written by Pug in in concert
with Sir Charles Barry and himself," an admission
for which my best thanks are due. Mr. Wolfe
also writes that " Sir C. Barry was the last person
in the world to adopt other people's ideas of art ;"
and adds in the next sentence that my father's
" valuable suggestions " led to the " production
of new ideas." It would seem from this that
what were " new ideas " in Sir Charles's mind
were simply " suggestions " when described in
reference to my father. Altogether the evidence
of these two gentlemen is somewhat conflicting.
The statement contained in my former letter, in
allusion to Mr. Talbot Bury, was made to me by
Mr. Bury himself, on Sunday, August 11. This
information was so far useful and correct that it
enabled me to discover the drawings on the follow-
ing morning, and to see with my own eyes proofs
of what he had told me on the previous night, and
of which I had, up to that time, been in entire
ignorance.

To Mr. Banks I will devote one line. His letter
may be taken for what it is worth. As regards
Mr. Ferrey, it is clear that his testimony is based
on the letter of 1845, and, therefore, can have no
weight. In reply to Mr. Edward M. Barry's
question, as to why this matter was not brought
forward during his father's life-time, I have only to
answer that the case was opened in February, 1860,
whilst Sir Charles was alive, and his death alone
prevented justice being then done to my father.
Sir Charles owed all that referred to Gothic art to
my father, but it is equally true that my father had
the highest appreciation of Sir Charles Barry's
talents as a classical architect, a draughtsman, and
a planner.

The facts of the case in the beginning were
simply these :—My father intended to be himself a
competitor ; and he had prepared a complete set
of designs for the purpose, which were finished
and mounted before he put pencil to paper for
either Mr. G. Graham or Sir Charles Barry.
From the day they were mounted they appear to
have been lost sight of ; but there is little doubt
that these were the designs for which Sir Charles
paid 400 guineas, and which, as far as possible,
were engrafted on Sir Charles's ground plan. The
designs thus prepared were eventually successful,
and my father was called in to complete the work
which he had commenced.

I will now refer to my father's diary for 1835.
From the entries contained therein it appears that
he began working on the Parliament House draw-
ings for Mr. Barry on the 15th of May. After
this date numbers of drawings were sent at fre-
quent intervals to Mr. Barry, and my father was
working almost daily for him. On the Ist of Sep-
tember Mr. Barry was at the Grange, Salisbury,
with my father, who was all day on the composi-
tions (sic), and he continued to be engaged on the
same work up to the 19th, on which day the draw-
ings were sent off. Ile was on Mr. Barry's work
again the following day, and every day up to the
26th, when he worked all night. On the 29th of
September nineteen drawings—central portion—.
were sent to Mr. Barry, and similar entries con-
tinue throughout October. On the occasion of
Mr. Barry's second visit (2d November) I find
the following entry, "On river front, five com-
partments." Mr. Barry left on the Bth, when my
father received £99.

Although the general drawingti then and sttime-

(From the Tomahawk.)
If all Mr. Pugin, jun., has written about the
late Mr. Pugin, sen., and the Barry Design for the
Houses of Parliament is to be accepted without a
grain of salt, it is much to be feared that the fame
of Sir Charles Barry will lose some of its lustre.
Be this as it may, we have learnt by the recent
correspondence that has appeared in the pages of
our contemporary, the Pall Mall Gazette, the fact
that eminent architects have not the smallest com-
punction in passing off as the work of their own
hands the labour of rival contemporaries. Such
a practice is much to be deprecated, and we can
only sincerely trust that it will never be adopted
by the members of other professions.
Should our worst apprehensions be realized, we
may confidently expect to hear of the following
bills being sent in to the people to whom they are
respectively addressed :-
