received from the Pope the title of baron
in token of his appreciation of his great
success in the cause of archaeology, has just
added another to his many successful eXca-

cules in the Via de- Pcttinari. While on
the subject of the Pope's patronage of art,
may mention visit he paid to the studio
- of Nj. Ewell LafOnt, French artist, who
is at work on n large picture of the battle
of Montana. He was much interested in
the composition, and spent considerable
time making out likenesses and points of
interest. Observing SOracte in the far dis
lance, he began reciting the lines from
Horace, "Candidum Soractc,' etc. He re-
cognized Generals kanZler and Pelhes
at once, and did not forget to make
sure that the young Duke of Caserta was
in his due place. Then he pointed out Col.
exclaimed: "Ah! there is my brave De
Charette, and to think that of all false
things, men should say that he has left us ~
As a further dement, to this charge to which
l have already alluded, Baron de Charette
has written an outspoken contradiction to

Paris, in which he expressed his intention
Of being back in Rome by the 18th inst, an

News from beyond the frontier continues
menacing; all the preparations for another
Garibaldian invasion are going on the same
as last year recruits enlisted, snister-vi-
saged parties, provided with suspiciously
faultless passports, lowering round the
troops in every disguise. Thus, several
vendors of lemonade were taken up in the
neighbOrhOod of the camp the other day,
charged with tempting the men to deserts
while pretended descrters from the Italian
army apply day by day for admission into
the Pontiical ranks, where they would have
better opportunity for carrying on their
game. The Italian Government remains
perfectly passive. If it had the will, it
would not have the power, to control
matters. Among its own functionaries,
and in high places, too, are men sold to the
Mazznian sect, and ready to risk all to pro-
cure its triumph.
An intrepid lady ;cronaut has been ex-
citing a good deal of notice lately. She
went up recently from garden in the
Quatro FOntane street. The balloon rose
very slowly at first, so that she was able to
scatter some flowers on the people as
sembled to witness the ascent. It's course
was watched with much interest, and many
people drove behind her carriage which
went out to meet her at the Tavolata, a
few miles outside POrta San Giovanni, where
the descent was accomplished very sue
cessfully.

a fresh detachment of Canadian Zouaves
has arrived. They kept the day of ST.
John Baptist patron of Canada, with fes-
tive honor. Mr.. Larrcguc, who had arrived
home the day before, made them q spirited
address on the nature of their undertaking,

about to Join. He excused himself from
speaking at greater length by his weak
health, his Montana wound still requiring
him to carry his arm i'll Il sling.
