The RETURN OF PIUs TO ROMA
telegraphic dispatch, which appeared in
our columns yesterday. announced, among
other items of news, that the Pope had
entered his capital On the other hand,
adispatch published by morning cotem-
porary, states precisely the reverse, VIZ,
that Plus TX had refused to return to
Rome. We think this latter report the
correct one. We have before us Italian
journals of 2Sth of October, and we can
find no indication in them of any intention
on the part of the Papal Court, to ex'
change the more quiet ard secure palace
of Portici, or Gaeta. for the Vatican. A
letter from Portici, dated about the md
die of October, and addressed to the OIL
cial journal of Rome, gives it as the
settled purpose of the Pope, to take up
his winter-quarters at Gaeta, and to re-
main there as loEg as the French Govern
ment should set any condition to MS
restoration. The preparations for his re-
ception, which had been going on IN the
Vatican, were also suspended about thai
time. Besides, the difficulty with France
must be arranged previous to his return
for although we are certain that LOUIS
Napoleon will at last surrender uncon'
ditionally to the Priest party, yet some
time will be required by those diplomatic
man9uvers by which political tergiversa'
tions and contradictions are masked from
the public view-N. o. Delta, Nor. 5O'

THE Bitter BIT.-Some time since a
resolution was introduced into the Lower
House of the Legislature of Tennessee
to protect the property Of married ladies.
While the resolution was under discus
sion, Mr.. Moody, of Dixon, moved to
amend it by requiring the ladies to wear
the breeches half the time. In the pro-
ceedings of the House on the 7th ult., is
the following:
"The Speaker announced that he found
upon his table bundle labelled "import-
ant documents" which he was requested
to lay before the House. Upon taking
off the wrapper, the "important docu-
ments" proved to be q crimson 2'ettacodt

SOCIETY IN PHILADEi EiPHIA.-The Daily
News states the estimated population of
Philadelphia at the present time to be
5000; or, in other words, 10000 fami-
lies. Of this number, only 1000 families
have a competency for support above
manual labor 10000 depend upon me-
chanical and professional branches; and
the residue of Al 900 is divided into two
parts, viz: $4,000 who labor or are desir-
Gus of laboring, and 1900 who resort to
illegitimate and criminal means for live
Hhood. Or the latter class, 5000 are sup
posed to be beggars; 1000 who depend
upon the offal of the streets and what
they can collect from the kitchens of the
wealthy; 5000 who steal; 1000 who
starve for want of any kind of support;
and 5000 who follow promiscuous live
lihood Such is the state of society in
Philadelphia and the elements which COM
pose it.

The LouIs1ANA.-The Louisville Cou-
rier has the following remarks upon the
ill-fated louisiana:
The steamer Louisiana was nearly a
new boat as far as the hull was concern
ed, but all Of her machinery and boi@rs
a0ere old, and had been very much used.
The boat was made up from the wrecks
of three or four worn out boats. Wien
built she was designed for cotton bat,
to fill the place of the steamer Dallas,
which was broken up, and three of1the
boilers of the Dallas, together with one
other boiler from the wreck of the Gov.
Jones, were placed i'll the neto tDat
She was also furnished with portions of
the machinery of the Dallas, the Memphis,
the Gov. Jones. and the upper works of
the old Cincinnati Thus made up, the
only wonder is that she did not explode
much sooner. Engineers were difficult
to procure to go on the boat, as the
opinion prevailed that ner boileis were
not safe.
