A letter from Rome states that Mr.. Cass,
our Charge d'Afaires, in paying his con-
gratulatory visit to the Pope, did not kneel
and kiss the Pope's slipper (or toe), as
did the Ministers from other foreign courts.
His brother Diplomatists demonstrated
against this breach Of etiquette. TO this
Mr.. Cass replied, ''that as a Representa-
tive of a Republican Government, he
could not kneel to any Monarch on earth,
and as Protestant, he could not perform
such an act of homage to the Papscy."
If this be true, there is more in the
young man than we had given him credit
for.

a route fifteen miles shorter than that Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Pitts

about the matter, and the Legislature and
Governor are censured freely.
Under the llempfcld charter, a road is
authorized to be constructed from Green's
burgh, in We 'tmoreland county, to the limo
of Washington county. about nine miles
from Wheeling. What is next wanted. is
a charter for railroad from Wheeling to
the western terminus Of this road, nino
miles in length, and this it is supposed
Virginia will grant without any hesitation.
This done, the line OF the Central Ohio
Railroad will connect with the Central
Pennsylvania road at Greensburgh, which
is thirty two miles east of Pittsburgh, and
shorten the distance to Philadelphia as
already stated.
