FROM ROME.
ROME, August 2.-The Feast Of st.
Peters Chains was celebrated yesterday by
a vast concourse of worshiPers in the
Church of St. Eudoxia, where those vener-
able relics are exposed. To-day the fran
ciscan churches are crowded with persons
ciscan pardon. I observe amongst the m
many italian soldiers, who seem afraid OF
being recognized by their comrades at
their prayers. They look miserable enough,
starvation and misery is printed In tneir
faces and squalor on their uniforms. kevo-
iutionary Italy has managed to degrade
one of the noblest races OF men IN che
world, and doubt if 10 Asia or in Africa
there can be found soldiers looking more
dirty, disreputable, and unhappy 'han
those of Victor Emmanuel.
A committee has just been formed at
Rome, under the presidency of the Marquis
Cayaletti, formerly Senator OF Rome, 70
present to the Pope throne OF gold, on
the occasion of the Feast OF st. fetes'
1872. In circular which has been issued
the project is recommended to the gener-
osity Of the faithful. The committee asks
the concurrence of Catholics throughout
the world. The address speaks a. fHhews
Mit is proposed to erect and dedicate 20
pins TX the Great, in the name OF tue
whole Catholic world, a Throne OF eoie.
TT the chair of the first Vicar OF Christ Is
still preserved in the most august tempe
on earth, does it not seem right thas 'ne
chair Of the present Pontif should also go
down to posterity he having been Tue
