Cardinal Bonaparte has received the title Of St:
Pudentia This saint Is very little known; but the
title has, nevertheless special significance in the
present case Tradition says that ST. Pudentla was

the reign of Claudius. The house which sheltered
ST. Peter is, therefore, the Oldest church IN Rome,
and the Pope wished to convey an intimaton OF mis-
expectations from the eldest son OF the Church IN
appointing Bonaparte as protector OF st. Peter's
first house.
No great opinion is entertained in Rome Of the
new Cardinals ability, and the Pope's own idea ID
that he possesses less talent than any member OF tn
Sacred College. Another important elevation 10 the
Cardnalinate is that of Mgr Berardi who has long
acted assistant to Cardinal Antonei, and s de-
some time past been suffering greatly from gout,
which threatens to ncapacitate him entirely from
continuing at the head Of the P1ntlcal aamniss nd
ment. Heb He had already begun 70 entertain some me

merce and Public Works. Cardinal Antonelli has
hitherto ruled the Ponticsl administration with abb

effort has been vain and Cardinal Ant0nelll's ascen

the greatest fatigue and at times made an evidently
strong effort to avoid complete break down. Never

Preparations are being made for this great event
by numerous meetings Of the different religious con-

this the worst possible recommendation for the
Roman Court. Mgr. D'ArbOy Is the only prelate who
has courageously and constantly withstood the en-

Galican Church. The other French prelates are

may be to tho Gallican liberties. Mgr D'ArbOy has
therefore long been under the ban of Rome, and the

Before listening to any application on his behalf the
Pope required written retractation from Mgr

was naturally refused by the Paris Archbishop, who
