ENGLISH COLLEGE AT ROME.

( EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROII ROll9

On the 29th of October his Holiness honoured
the students of the English College, whilst passing
their autumnal vacation at their country house, at
Monte Porzio (once part of the estate of Portius
Cato, and distant from Rome about 14 miles), with
his company at dinner. His Holiness and suite, in
three carriages, escorted by a party of dragoons,
alighted at the villa, about eleven, and were re-
ceived at the door by the Rev. Drs. Gradwell and
Wiseman, the superiors of the establishment, toge-
ther with the Rev. Dr. Baines, Coadjutor to the
Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, who was
there on a visit. His Holiness received the Stu-
dents and Officers of the College in the hall, where
a temporary state chair had been erected, and then
retired to the private apartments prepared for him,
where he called in the Superiors and Students, and
in the most affable manner conversed with them till
dinner was announced. His Holiness presided at
the table, and delighted every one by the unaffected
affability of his manners. After dinner, he once
more received the Members of the Establishment,
with the most gratifying cordiality, and was pleased
to express himself highly delighted with the manner
in which he had passed the day. It is impossible to
describe the joy and enthusiasm of the villagers on
beholding the Holy Father amongst them. As the
Students were kneeling down to crave his benedic-
tion, as he was leaving them, his Holiness was sen-
sibly affected, and, after he had prayed his blessing
on them, turned round to Dr. Baines, the English
Prelate, and said, -" Oh, Monseigneur ! Quel beau
tableau l 7 To mark his approbation of the system
in which the College is conducted, and to testify his
gratification for the success of the SfuJznts in the
academical exercises of the University, were the
motives which his Holiness was good enough to
assign, for this extraordinary and very flattering con-
descension.
