Letters from Rome of the 18th February are
calculated to raise still higher the reputation of
Pope Pins TX for wisdom and benevolence. On
the 22d February, Mr.. Golden was honored
with private audience by his Holiness, and
retired from it filled with respect and admira-
tiou. In the evening of the 9Th deputation
from Bologna were admitted to the Pope,s
presence and presented him fag-an offering
of love and respect-from that CITY. On the
oath the Turkish ambassador had another pri-
vate audience of the Pope, at the conclusion of

ed to his Excellency, the Catholics OF the East.
Touching the political condition of Ireland,
a change appears to have been wrought by the
illness and absence of Mr.. O'Connell, the suf-
ferings of the whole country, and the split in
the rank of the repeaers themselves, inducing
the formation of the "Young Irelandn PARTY.
The principal features in this change are an
entire absence of that unanimity which used 10
attend the meetings at Cancellation Hall. What
the Young Ireland repealers actually pro-
pose or hope to accomplish it is impossible to
determine.
OF Mr.. OConnel himself, the latest account

to try change of air.
