ROME, Sept. 2.-The incessaut falseh oods
of the hostile papers make it necessary to
repeat once more, what the Osserv0tore
Romano of the 3lst ult., assures rs is the
fact, that the Popes health is perfectly
good. There 10 nothing in him to indicate
that he may not live many years to come.
The confinement. he has undergone during
the last twelve months has done him no
harm. At his time of life it may even
conduce to his preservation. He has Ger.
tainly gained by it exemption from all
those fatiguing public ceremonies which
and which have unquestionably tended to
shorten the lives Of some OF them.
An application has been lately received
at Rome from the Archbishop of Bourges,
for the grant of new pdlliMm from the
Sovereign Pontin, the one originally grant
ed having been destroyed, amongst many
other valuable things, in the burning of the
Archiepiscopal Palace at Bourges. The
Holy Father was not satisfied with grant
ing the new pallium, but, in demonstration
of his paternal affection to the ArcholshoP,
clergy, and Catholic people Of Bourges, he
added the gift of PectOral Cross Of gold,
set with precious stones, and gold chain
for the same, richly chased also q nsgot "
ficent episcopal ring, containing large
emerald surrounded with 6ran 6rlinants; sae
id gifts were conveyed to their destination
bv the hands of the Nuncio Apostolic, and
by him presented to the Archbishop, ac-
companied by a letter from Cardinal Anto-
neili, couched in language OF great sympa
thy and kindness.
The Unita Cattolica states that the Pope
has done a noble act Of munifcence to-
wards the Oriental Catholic Church. It is
known fact that the Church in the East
has for q long time laeored under serious
financial embarrassments. Possessing no
revenues for the support of the clergy and
for the maintenance OF public worship
even on the most moderate scale, ana ue-
irving but scanty aid from the laity, the
Church was becoming every year less able
to pay the enormous interest on loans con
tracted for the most needfuT purposes
The Holy Father has felt SO deeply for the
Distress Of the Orientals, who have recent
ly manifested more strongly than eve'

the liabilities of the Apostolic vicariate o

and their gratitude unbounded."
The confiagrations continue Throughout
Italy, and their ravages daily extend thei
area thev have now reached even to Sar
dina. where an immense fire took plac
the other day. Amongst recent conhagra
tions may be reckoned barracks OF 5roop
in the Romagna, at Ravenna, the Otc'o
Journals publishing office; at Florenc
the Office of the Ministry of the interior
and near Modena an extensive villa' VIII

These, and an immense number of otht
fires that have recently taken place, al
known not to be accidental, but to be tt
work of incendiaries. Everybody is in te

victim. The quantity Of petroleum store
