Gasetta del Popoto, the leading revolutionar,
journal of Florence, comments on the events o
the Jubilee with moro precision than any ofth'
English organs; it writes thus:--" He who ha.
not lost the gift Of reason or is not in bad faitt
must recognize, In this manifestation of Cath
Ollie Europe towards the Pope, an act of the
highest Importance; and the anxiety of the
soyereigns of the mest powerful Kingdoms Of
Europe, including the Protestant King Of
Prussia to send their homage to the Pope, il
also an act of the highest Importance. 1t il
time then. at last, to Danish fond illusions and
ridiculous boastng" 1t is noteworthy that
the celebration Of the jubilee originated i'll the
faith and instincts of the people, which drew
at last into its wake the kings, even the Protes
tant soyereigns of the earth.

The streets appeared like SO many swollen
rivers of foot people and carriages. When
the Holy Father arrived on the Piazza of st.
PETERS, the wonders reached the climax.
Imagine the entire facade colonaded, and piazza
packed with some thousands sOf carriages,
artistically illuminated by Bengal lights. It
was sight never to be- forgotten. The waving
OF hats and handkerchief from the carriages,
the tempest of ecrisas that echoed Through that
immense space, the enchantment and briiiiancy
of the illumination, all united, produced an
effect that no one who was not present could

to add that the order, Cecorum, peace and
politeness OF about 4O0, 600 people (the passport
register acknowledges to about 10000 people,
strangers in Rome, during these three days)
that inundated the streets of Rome on the
evening of the 18th, whether on foot or in the
10000 carriages that were employed, formed
the theme of universal praise and admiration.
The "thrce days of Rome" were genuine feasts,
but feasts OF love, and may say family feasts.
Tho centres of every demonstration was the
