Rome-A1locutiOn of the Pope

Rome (Feb. 22) Telegram London Times.
At secret consistory, held this morning, the
Pope announced his intention to canonlze Bro
ther Leonardo, Of Porto Maurizo. His Hoi-
ness then delivered a shsrt allocutlon in which
he adverted to his letter to King Victor
Emanuel in 1865, written with the object of
providing for the vacant blshoprlcs, and
declared that the negotiations for that pur.
pose, which have now been resumed, were not
broken off through the fault of the Holy See
His Holiness lamented the fact that the bishops
whom he sends to empty churches, will find
their proDerty appropriated and their religious
congregations expelled, adding:-
"They will find affection and misery. Never
theless, we send them tor the salvation of souls.
They will 90 IN the name OF Jesus Christ, con-
tdIng in the protection of the Mother Of God"
His Holiness concludedTby stating that it was
not expedient to say more in the present state
Of things but unless God interposed, the future
was clearly to be toretold by the deplorable
events which have already taken place.
''Nevertheless,' said his Holiness, I'VE must
rely upon the protection OF Heaven to change
our sorrow into joy"
The Pope then announced that he had pre-
cognized several bishops and hoped to be able
to increase the number at future consistories
The number of bishops precognzed this
morning is thirty, two of whom are for France,
three for the Island OF Sicily four for Tuscany,
two for the Marches, two for the patrimony OF
st. Peter, five for Hungary, one for Bavaria,
one for Ireland and hVe IN pdrttb1S.

The Paris Presse attributes the omission of
any mention of the exhibition in the Emperor
Napoleou's speech to his Majesty's dissatlsfac-
ton with the whole arrangements, and his eX-
pectation thatit Will turn out gigantic failure.
According to the Presse, the general public
takes little interest in the affair, and the prices
fixed are altogether too high for most pockets.
The writer goes on TO say:-The external ap-
pearance OF the Exhibition Palace is far from
satisfying To the eye; II Is vast, but without
grandeur: low and heavy; OF a sombre tone,
which the lively colOrs OF flags or hangings will
not neutralize. The erection. which, from the
entirely modern character Of its destination,
afforded full scope for the genius ofan architect,
does not pre-. ent the great and pure lines which
that art so willingly reploduces in France, nor
has II the powerful originality which was so
! striking in the Crystal Palace
THOSE who have had the privilege of pene-
| tratIng into the interior speak In still less
| favorable terms The oval form adopted in the
! construction does not permit any extent OF
! view and the eve falls upon column after
| column which succeed each other perpetuallv
! Gke a moving wall. In this building, which
| COVERS 10000 square metres (about lS2, 600
s1uare wards or 275l acres), space Is wanting;
| there Ia not enough for the manufacturers ot
the departments, sorich in products OF all kinds,
tissues of silks, cotton, wool embroidered or
printed; perhaps there IS not even sulnclenV lor
| Partisan industry itself: ,n -. -
And then, with exorbitant tariffs, what pc
comes of the hospitality which France Is unqer
stood TO offer to manufactures and art! doW
are those two great principles Wnlcn ought 10
preside over every universal exhlpitlon, pre-
serving its double character, natohbl auu pun
lie, to be realized and guaranteed naunely, tna M
every facility might be offered TO whoever car
