ROME, March s.--Jsstice IN Isuly.-Your
readers will remember that man named
Montesi stabbed Ave priests at Bologna one
night last autumn. Thejury, of course, ac-
quilted him, but on being discharged he
committed suicide. The Court of Assizes
in Naples has distinguished itself by a YER

found the Deputy Matina guilty of "se-
rioasly wounding" Signor Marziani, and
| have condemned him to seven years i'm
prisonment. Signor Marziani died of his
wounds about three months since, after
lingering in agO.y for over a year, and his
! murderer is only condemned for " wound
| ing" him, and, moreover, has never been
arrested. r-
| Local Chronicle.-The Pope has taken his
usual walks and drives, and appears in OK
| cellent health and spirits, although it is not
possible that he should not feel weight of
anxiety at the present moment. He re-
ceived the Lenten preachers last week and
addressed them in most moving exhorta-
ton. Mgr. Berteaud, Bishop of Tulle,
preached a sermon to the ZOuaves on Tues
day at Santo Stefano del Cacco, which was
also attended by most of the French resi-
dents. Mgr. Mermillod has been giving q
retreat to the Enfants de Marie and other
devout ladies, at the Sacre Ceur, for the
fulflment of the conditions of the Jubilee.
The attendance was very numerous. Tie
Holy Father gave Holy Communion to the
Prince of the Asturias on Sunday morning.
in presence of the Count and Countess I
Girgenti, and the persons Of the suite of the
young Prince, among whom were the Condo

st. Andrea della Fratte ON the same day.
The neophytes were two young German
Jewesses, Mdlles Jenny and Emily Auchal,
of Berlin. They were baptized before the
altar of the Blessed Virgin, celebrated for
the miraculous conversion of Ratisbonne,
in presence of a very numerous assistance.

situation in Rome if omitted to mention
the repeated semi-official threats of the
French Government in provision of a
definition. The attitude of the Embassy is
decidedly changed within the last few
weeks, and there are not wanting signs Of
very critical situation for Rome ere long.
1t is reported in official circles here that NJ.
de Bonneville is about to be recalled as too
favorable to the interests of the Holy See,
and replaced by M. de CorcclIes, whose APP
pointment is much desired by the Gallican
party.
The Zouaves.-No colonel has yet been
appointed by the French War Office to sue
coed Comte DARCY, and the inference
drawn from this circumstance is, that the
Government are in no hurry to engage their
official responsibility undsx Nresent cir
cumstances. Several Zouaves of noble
French families, when on the point of
leaving Rome last week, requested an au-
dience of the Pope. care you going to

day has known. The chapter and canon De !
Lntallibilitate Ronsani Pont1fcis, which has |
been added to the Schema, at the prayer of |
the immense majority of the Council, is
couched in the language adopted by former |
Councils, and especially. in that of the for
mula of Pope HOrmisdas, subscribed by all |
the Fathers of the eighth General Council of
in 1904. D., and of the pro-
fession of faith subscribed by the Greeks |
and Latins in the Fourteenth General |
Council of Lyons, 1874. 1t is therefore |
probable that the next general congregation
will be held next week, although as yet no
notice has been received.

Every thing denotes an obstinate resist
