The Pope has erected three new Sees in the Wrist Indian
colonies of France.

POPISH INTOLERANCE.--The Swiss Protestant place of
worship at Florence has been interdicted from holding an
Italian service, and from distributing the Bible in Italian.
The parties attending, the service have.been prosecuted by
the police. ,
The Tablet announces that Dr. Cox is to be the new
Romanist Bishop of Southwark ; Dr. Newman the new
Bishop of Nottingham ; Dr. Errington of Salford ;- and
Dr. Tate and Dr. Grant of the two other vacant dioceses ;
'and that a general Provincial Synod will, be held in the
summer.

CONSECRATION OF THE " BISHOP" OF Ross.-7 The
Cork Examiner exultingly: proclaims that " the deed is
done, and in the face of the open day too, and in the pre-
sence of some 5,000 liege subjects. of Queen Victoria."
The plain English of this means that on Sunday week
the ' Bishop' of Ross was consecrated "by virtue, and_
in command, of the bull of his Holiness. Pope Pitts IX:,
successor of St. Peter, and visible head of that one, holy,;
and apostolic church, of winch • the Catholic church of
Ireland is one of the oldest and most honoured branches."
VIOLATION OF THE CONFESSIONAL.—(To the Editor
of, the Church and State,' Gazette.)—Mr. Alexander
Cochrane, in, his,book " Young Italy,". p.. 239, relates
the following circumstance, which,,if well founded,- would
show that inextreme cases the secrecy of the confessional
is sometimes violated:-" On the day that Rossi was
murdered a priest touched his arm as he was stepping
into his carriage, and related to him in a faltering voice a
confession which had been made to'him on'the preceding
night, in which the assassination of Rossi was the prin-
cipal feature." If there were. really a desire -with the
priest to repress crime, these disclosures might probably
occur more frequently.—JAMES‘EDMESTON.—Homerton,
January 30, 1851. .
Romisn TOLERATION.A cerrospondent 'of the
Athenaeum writing from the ancient. Parthenope states
that :—" ` The excellent Chaplain of the British Embassy,
who has formed a small library for the use of invalid
British seamen at Naples can now obtain books only
thrnugh the English Minister.' This writer, after stat- ,
ing that neither the object nor the charaater of the works
, !ma any weight with the Jesuit Tarty, continues 'as fol-
lows A book is as much dreaded by the advisers of
~the Vatican as if it were a child of the devil. Diodati's
Italian,Bible is a special object of fear. Martini's garbled
edition of the sacred volume is the only one allowed in
this part of the world—arid that on the condition of the
individual having a special permission. Speaking with a
priest'a few days since I said to him—' If Veto studied the
Scriptures, what Italian Bible would you use ?" He re-
plied--' Diaclatt's edition. most certainli.'—' Then, ifyou
think that it is the hestand most correct, why would ,you
not give it to the people ?'---‘`,We do not hold (said he)'
that we have any right of private interpretation ; we can
rerid the Scriptures only 'by the lamp of the Church.' I.
''mention these faCts by the way, because' T see that it is
sometimes contended in England that, the Dible is not a
sealed book in •the,R6rnan Catholic Church. I maintain
that the-Bible is here a sealed-book—perfectly dead, stone
Itead to the great masses—whilst the priest himself must

WHAT THE POPE THINKS OF THE ENGLISU
•CMP9§ITION, TO, 49,q11,E§SION.

The correspondent of the London Times, writing from
Rome on the Ist instant, says
" I believe. that the measures which thP British Gre.
vernrnent has thought• proper to originate, and which are,
ere this, public with you, have been, through an indirect
channel, communicated to the Vatican: They produce
no sensation there, and may be said to be viewed witb
perfect indifference. The church considers that it is
playing a srire'gari3e, and that the nuniber of titled con-
versions more than compensates it for the obstinacy of
public.oninion in general., It :is' riow Adrilitted that the
conversion of Protestant England to the RI:Hi-an Catholic
faith is the. object proposed, and the Propaganda says,
though the movement has been checked" for a time, the
impulse has been given, and that the future progress will
equal railwayspeed. The only person, lam told, who is
not pleased with the policy:of the Vatican, is Cardinal
Antonelli. As the question was religious,,' not political,
he could not constitutionally interfere ; hut it is but jus-
tice to-his sagacity to, say; that he disapproved not only
the thing' itself, but the manner in whichit was carried
out, and the great indifference exhibited to English feel-
ing by the heads of the Propaganda, in whoSe department
the matter lay.:

The Cardinal Secretary of State was so, frightened at
even the menace of Lord Palmerston, that he dare not
gratify his anxious desire to expel our. Consular agent,.
though he had more than once publicly announced his
intention of so doing, and he naturally is annoyed that
for. &religious cause alone such a storm should be raised.
I have been assured that Pio Nono participated in that
feeling; though I cannot believe the fact, -anti that he too
was only borne down by the violence of the Propaganda
and the urgenny of the British delegates.
The Ministerial crisis at Paris occasions serious filarial
at the Vatican, and the Pope and Cardinal•Antonelli have
all their attention fixed in that direction. Should the
French garrisembe withdrawn, its place will be supplied
with Austrian or Neapolitan troops. But, if affairs in the
north of: Italy look threatening again, or an attempt at
revolution be renewed in Naples, these auxiliaries must
,be recalled, and Heaven in that case only knows how the
Papal Government is to be carried 0n.,: The majority of
the citizens of Rome find their interests so mixed up with
those of the Pope that they,do not desire a. change, but
the Mazzini faction has energy and numbers 'sufficient to
overpower it, and without foreign troops this Government
cannot last. As to the provinces they are, ripe for revo-
lution, and so little capable are the friends of order of
protecting themselves, that only a few days since the
bandit Passatore pillaged a large town in defiance of the
Papal troops.

1 pm told that Mr. Sheil has arrived at Florence, and
that he proposes to pay a flying visit to:Rome.

. _
NONO, 1846N11 1850,

By a private letter from Rome, we learn that the ora-
tions of the Padre Gavazzi, at 'the Princess's Concert-
room, in the metropolis, have been talked about with a
zest and an interest in Rome itself that only,ltalians and
'Romans can know, •

,When the population of. Rome will learn-7-as learn it
must within the next three or four days—that this elo-
quent Italian priest arraigned before a crowded London
audience, on SundaY, February 2nd,-their insincere and
Sybarite, Pontiff, denounced him• as a mysOfier and de-
luder, as a. traitor, ,a. coward,' as a man false at heart,.
cruel, and unfeeling ; and denounced him, too, it;
branding- and in burning words, the over-taxed and
priest-devoured people will know one half hour of
ardent and enthusiastic exultation, at the very least. We
should ourselves much wish to see these orations of the
rev. father puplished in flying leaves, in choice
and distributed by English travellers as they went their
pleasant way in the States of the Church. .This would'
be a counterblast to a system of fair reprisals against that
bag of wind and chaffy words sent us by Nicholas Wise-
man, D.D., from the Flaminian Gate. in thus acting we
would return goolfor evil—for thOviordS'of Gavazzi are
words of gold, whereas the words of. Wiseman are mere
dross.

Here is Gavazzi's description of the avatar of Masai
Ferretti, now Pius IX., in 1846 :
"Christianity had passed the ordeal of a century of sar'
casin ; the irony of the scoffer and the shaft of ridicule had
failed; it remained to see how the Papal system- would stand
the test of calm reason and the scrutiny of a thinking genera'
tion. It was no fair trial of its efficiency to view it under the
vacillating policy. of Leo XII., or the stolid and drunken
tyranny (il übbriaco neroniggiare) of the sixteenth Gregor -
Give it a chance under the sway of a gentleman with a heart
in his bosom was the cry of its apologists. The hour caree.
and the man. Did not the nations of earth clap their hands 10
the sight of the long desiderated spectacle 7—was not the
Popedom at last to set at rest the doubts and misgivings of
mankind? Could they still say a churchman never yet for'
gave when the word amnesty was proclaimed?—when the;
power of the 'keys was for once used to unbar a, prison ?
the programme of a hierarchy linked' with our common
humanity after 'centuries of disseverance, Europe rose In'
rapturous recognition ; Germany and England, the great labo,
ratories of intelligence, began to study the phenomenon with
eager gaze. France, even under Guizot and'Philippe's leaden,
influence, caught up a sort of spasmodic enthusiasm ; Amerielt
wafted o'er the Atlantic on the wings of steam- the exulting
plauditg of her freemen ; and even Turkey (not to speak of tbe-
Spanish peninsula) hailed the civilising change; The JeVfn
joined in the -general gratulation, and began to expect the
coming of their Messiah, so stupendous was the prodigy of e,
philanthicipic Popedom. Need I describe the effect in ItalY
The 'social mischief of ages at 'once eradicated—hypocrist
abashed—religion redeemed from the baseness of a trade to
become a sentiment and a boast—youth and manhood won n`

SAILORS' HOME BAZAAR.—From the advertisement,
which appears in another page, our readers will be glad
to perceive that the arrangements for the bazaar in aid of
the Sailor's' Home are progressing most satisfactorily. We
refer wit h pleasure to the names of those ladies who have
already consented to take stalls, and are assured that many
more contemplate giving their aid to the same good work.
We would urge upon all to contribute something to the
bazaar, ii the shape of articles of use or ornament, money,
curiosities, or any of the thousand and one little things
which ladies know so well how to make.
STEAM NAVIGATION.—COST OF CONVEYING THE
MAILS.--,The British steamers (Cunard's) carrying the
mails between Liverpool and America are paid £145,000
for making 44 voyages in the year, which is equivalent to
£3,300 per voyage. The United States steamers (Collin's)
plying between Liverpool and New York, receive 385,000
dollars per annum for performing 20 voyages in the year
—say ac the rate of £4,000 per voyage. The American
steamers from New York, vid Southampton, to Bremen,
a second' subsidised line, get £3,000 per voyage, or as
much as the oldest established, most efficient, British
company, whose vessels have performed the service in a
creditable manner for a series of years. The Royal West
India Mail-packet Company is paid at the rate of 9s. 10d.
per mile, whilst the American steamers from Liverpool
to New York are subsidised at the rate of lls. id. per
mile, making a difference of ls. 3d. per mile, or 121 per
cent. more in favour of the ships of the United States.
We are indebted for these particulars to the Morning
Herald, which draws the inference which, it says, is
"evident, that the English ocean steam companies have
an uphill work to fight, and a fair claim on the govern-
ment for additional compensation."
