which seemed perfect, Notwithstanding his advanced
age. Aherward the pacha asked of the sultan per-
mission present to him his officers, assuring his

The NEW PoPE.--A correspondent of the Journal
des Debats relates the following anecdotes of the
new pontifl: -
"a few days since he was informed that tri-col-
cred Italian cockades had been found scattered
about the streets in certain cities Of Romagna, and
as some importance was given to this fact he re-

stance for it proves that now, the liberals finding
nothing to do with these cockades, throw them into
the street,
"On another occasion, having learned that Mon
seignir Marini, the governor of Rome, wished to
oppose the subscriptions in favor of the people who
were in want among those included in the late am
nesty, he Immediately gave his authority TO the SUBJ
scription, and when the next day the governor had
an audience Of the Pope, he said to him with gente-
ness and az il ignorant of the matter, 4 beg you
to send for the directors OF the subscriptions which
being made in favor of those persons lately par
doned, and thank them from me for the good they
have done, for no one appreciates more than do
their generous conduct in this matter"
Il will be recollected that year since, says the
London correspondent of the Journal des Debats,
large sum, in bills on the Bank of England, was
stolen from the house of Messrs. Rogers a. Co.,
London and that house took care to publish exactly
the numbers of all these bank notes. The officers
Of the Bank Of England have just now perceived
that in the course of the last month"; several Of the
bills taken from Messrs. Rogers d Co. have been
exchanged for SPECIE without their having been de-
tected, for, by skful alteration, made by some
chemical process, the numbers of other bank notes
now in circulation Of similar sums, have been sub
sttuted for the original and real numbers. 1t is
only when these others were presented at the bank,
and on comparing them with the numbers first
forged, that it was discovered that change in the
bills had been made.
Professor Heine Of Worzemburg, the most cele-
brated orhopedist Of Germany, died on the 3lst of
July, Mt Glochenthal, near Thun. He had gone to
pass the summer in Switzerland for the re-estab-
lishment Of his health.
What hos always been dreadcd for electric tele-
graphs has just happened in England The COM
munoations by electric telegraph between London
and Portsmouth, were recently interrupted by a
storm, during which the lightning struck the wires
in several places and severed them entirely. AT
Foreham the schock was so violent, that the posts
which support the telegraph were thrown down. AT
the Gosport station the needle played all night
IL communications were being made, and the appa-
ratus for receiving the signals was altogether disor-
dered Il was fortunate that these disturbances
took place in the night, for ifany one had been in
the room where the telegraph ended, he would in
evitably have received severe shock.
A Russian journal states that in the month Of
August, lS47, the city Of Moscow founded in ll47,
will celebrate it's seven hundredth birthday. Bril-
liant fetes viii take place on the occasion.
A Berlin paper mentions that one of the last
