ROME, June 2S.-The Pope delivered
an allocutien, yesterday, in which he re-
viewed the condition of the Roman Cath
ole Church in Italy and sther countries.
He declares the Italian law subjecting
clerical students to military CONSUMPTION
as an infringement of the immunities,
rights and liberty of the church. BE
dwells on the evils affecting the church
in Austria and Hungary, and says these
are the complaints of the Bishops in those
countries The events in Spain give
cause for sadness and mourning The
head of the Bishops in Poland being
undsunted by Russian persecution, is q
source of consolation.
The ALLEGATION concludes with these

be crowned with fresh triumphs."

writes reply to the letter of B. W. ellis,
of the State Journal, containing an ar
gument to sustain his position in requir.
ing members of the Legislature to take

he is acting in conformity with all the
precedents enforcing it,

whom are eligible under the Fourteenth

The tardy announcement is made that Gen.
Geo. ii. Thomas denies having ever made the
remark attributed to him by witness III the
Fitz John Porter court martial, that he would
not believe Gen. Pope even on his oath. We
suppose that no intelligent person, at all ac-
Quainted with army matters, ever thought for
moment that Gen. Thomas had said any
thing of the kind He doubtless knew, as
did most army officers, that the reputation
under which Gen. Pope labored, of "belng OF
"all men the most disbelieved," was unjust to
him in that it saddled the sins of another upon
his shoulders. The numerically gigantic bulle-

private residences in the most fashionable
streets, middle-class houses, and tenements,
generally hold their own, or in a few cases,
show small advance. Building does not yet
keep pace with the increase in the population,
and a scarcity of houses and rise of prices
would probably be felt were it not for the
numbers of people who, in despite of railroad
exactions, have been driven by the heavier ex-
actions of landlords into the suburbs The
burden OF city rents has reached weight
which few can bear, and if it is not leSsened
the exodus to the country during this and the
next year will be enormous. Little towns are
springng up all over Westcbester County and
New-Jersey; new roads are being cut new
railways are in active progress; and although
the lack of proper facilities for reaching the
city has checked the development of all these
places, the time seems to have come when they
can be held back no longer. The fact is, New
York landlords have been doing their best for
three or four years to depreciate the value Of
their own house property, and now they seem
OH the eve of succeeding.

obstructing navigation, and this is probably
the only point in which Congress ia officially
interested. We believe the capital not already
subscribed by the two cities is ready to be fur
nshed by individuals, and the sooner the great
work shall be begun the better for the relief
of the ferries, of those who cross them, and Of
our labsring population, to whom the $1,000, 900
or SS,OOO,O0O to be paid for the construction Of
the bridge will be disburscd. Already there !,
a rush of spectators and merchants to buy I'm
the property which will be most benefited by
the bridge, and some of these may seek to de-
lay it until they have made their purchases.
Otherwise we believe the million and half Of
residents in the two cities are as nearly unan-
imous in favor of pushing the enterprise
through to the earliest possible completion az
a million and a half of people can well be on
any matter.
