Pentecost.-The Cardinal-yi has pub
llshed an Invite Sacro, ordering public
prayers and professional visits to the
Pentecost, in order to obtain in a most
special manner the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit for the conduct of the Council. The
Exposition will take place at eight of the
large churches of Rome, SO as to enable the
Iinhabitants of each quarter to profit by it.,
and the -Confratesaisies-e each district
will visit the churches nearest them in
solemn procession.
Agriculture.-The Roman Cattle Show
took place on Sunday, and still continues
open. The show of cattle from the Cam
|pagna was very good, and oxen especially, j
lanG some mountain sheep from ArsOliI
|-ere also much admired. Prince BorgheseI
and Duke Salviati, with Don Filippo OrsiniI
Prince of Roccagora.) are the promoters|
work, and deserve all credit for having
initiated it. A number of agricultural
machines were exhibited and excited great
interest. The show was held in the
amphitheatre in the grounds of the Borg
hese Villa, and the Pope honored it With
personal visit ON Monday. A new agri-
cultural and industrial journal is spoken of
as likely to be established, and it is much
needed in the Pontifcal States, and indeed
throughout Italy.
May, 2.-Ascension Day and St. PAilip
Neri.-The Holy Father assisted at High
Mass at st. John Lateran yesterday, and
lfterw gave his benediction to the peo-
pie from the Loggia. The crowd was mott
great one, on account, probably, of the
he next days ovation at the Chiesa Nuova
made the Romans reserve themselves for
hat occasion. On the Pope's arrival the
ries of ".Five lie Pape Infailible !" were
leard on every side, and the cheering of
he Romans was unmistakable in it's
enuine loyalty.
The discourses of the greatest interest in
he Council this week have been those of
igr. Darboy, whose silence in opposition
hitherto has astonished even his own col
eagues, and Of Mgr. v. ketteler, in the
anne sense, but more moderate in tone.
The Archbishop of Westminster spoke
n Tuesday at great length on the ques.
ion before the Congregation. His Grace's
lscourse lasted nearly two hours, and
'as, it was agreed on all sides, one of
he most mastery orations yet made. 1t
'as directed in great part against the ar

lalhtains that such decision would be II

immense impression, aud it is spoken of en-
iuslastically by the Fathers of every e
