HOW TIE POPE Is CHOSEN.
A late number of Chambcrs's Edinburg
Journal gives history of Pope Plus, from
which we copy the flowing very interesting
account of the mode in which the Popes
are chosen:
The word conclave defines admirably the
state of sccluson and secrecy in which the
sacred college is kept during the important
period OF an election. The cardinals shut
themselves up in tho Qurinial with their aids
and their physicians. Once there, they
canno, quit the palace without Pope
Each day may be seen their respective equ-
pages bearing along their dmner; sometimes
poached egg, escorted by four horses and
as many plqucarcs
These rcpasts arc conveyed through a
trap door, the onl mode of communication
permitted with the outer world, All the
doors and windows are hcrncticaIIy scaed;
each voter inhablts a separate cell, and they
only meet IN The central chapel for the cleo
ton of a Pope. There arc three modes of
ceclion-lhal by acclamation. by compro-
misc. and by scrutiny. The latter is the
most usual, and its form is as follows: The
dean of the sacred college votes first. lie
takes out Of silver basin ballotling ticket
prepared beforehand for the purpose, and
ills it up in the presence of the cardinals
so that al may sec his act, and yet none can
read what he has written upon the parch-
mcnt. L ch candidate goes through the
same fnrmali,y. The voter next holds up
his ticket between his thumb and forcflngcr,
and turning towards the altar. utters aloud
the following oath: II take God, who is my
nudge, to witness that elect him whom !
deem mos, worthy Of being Pope ?
Upon the altar is placed large silver
clacc, in which the voters place their tick
cts :: and afterwards the names are read
aloud by one of the SCI utotar', each ot the
cardinals holding printed list. on which he
notes down the names as they are uttered.
IT, in this first operation, one Of the cardinals
has obtained sufficient number oil VOTES,

this purpose iwo-thirds Of the votes is rcqnI-
red. Roman affairs usually progress but
slowly, and conclavcs have been known TO

Piazza. Thousands Of eyes are fixed upon
