AT early hour this morning, the Cunard
steamship Rhcin, from Bremen, arrived at New
York, and from the files which have been fur

Excavations nj ROme-A chnOlOgicaI DiscOVe-
ries-The Pope Delighted.
An undertaking highly interesting TO archco-
loglsts is about TO be commenced with the sane
tion of his Holiness being the clearance of the
ancient monumental facade of the Marcian
Aqueduct from the medieval Notifications and
superstructures of the Porta San Lorenzo.
The present Popes predecessor, Gregory AFl,
authorized similar operation at the Porta Mag

magnificent facade and inscriptions of the Clau-
dian Aqueduct from rude towers and buttresses
hastily thrown up in remote and troublous
times, and the revelation of an interesting
Roman tomb under the rubbish, erected to the
memory of the wealthy baker Vergilius Fury
aces, and his wife, monument decorated with
portrait statues and hass-relieyi Illustrative of
the occupation of the defunct.

| has promised Archbishop Manning an assOrt-

ment of the future Roman Catholic Cathedral OF
London. The Prussian Government has re-
turded thanks for the munihcence of his
| Holiness gift TO the Cathedral of AiX-la-
| Chapele. Switzerland will not be forgotten
in the dispensation of these long-hiddcn
treasures. Only two columns of African
marble of size and importance were hitherto
st. Peters. The Emporium has furnished If
teen others, of which the largest has been des-
