by English and American Professionals for
that purpose. A large school for boys and
girls has been established in Vicoio
Soderini by Mira. Gould. who has just
published pamphlet, Italo American
Schools In Romep in which. she desires to
Messrs. Rebetti and Pons, the Yaudois
clergymen, who have given personal aid in
the direction of the school. We see from
this pamphlet that funds are sent to the
school from New York and Boston. Other
schools or conferences are established in
we'll as some other Protestant preachers,
are doing their best-or their worst. We
have not the least fear Of seeing real Pro-
testantism settled In Rome, but we do fear
great injury being done to Christian
faith and morale, by the calumniating and
abusing of the Catholic Church and her in
situations. These sectaries will destroy
the faith in many hearts without giving
them any thing in its place. 1t is a work
of destruction, not of building.
THE HOLY FATHER.
The Holy Fathers health is now per-
fectly established, and he resumed his
daily walks in the garden on Tuesday last.
Daily visitors are filling the halls of the
Vatican, and Populations of old Catholics
of Rome as we'll as foreigners are con-
tinual. According to rumor, an Encycli-
cal of great Importance is expected in a
few days. The Creation of the Cardinals
seems to be put off to better time, which,
as we hope, win not be long in coming.
THE NEW BISHOPS AND THE ITALIAN GOV
ERNMENT.
The Italian Government has not only re-
fused to give to the new Bishops appointed
by the Pope the temperatures and their own
palaces, but has also refused to acknowl-
edge them as legitimate Bishops, and goes
on considering tile chapters as legal repre-
sentatives of the Episcopal power. When
the Capitular- Vicar of Cremona, Tosi, died,
the Sindaco of Cremona asked the Chapter
to choose new vicar. The Chapter re-
piled that a month ago the new Bishop,
duly elected and consecrated, had present.
ed his Bulls to the Chapter, taking public
possession of his church, and had exercised
all the acte of his ministry. The Sindaco
Tavolotti replied, that he had not submit
ted his Bulls to the Royal exequatur.
similar things took place in other dioceses.
A long article in the PersereranSa of Milan,
whose editor is NJ. BOngh, the author of
the Guaran tee law, says c early that the
Government will never give up the resi-
dences or any stipend 10 the new Bishops,
nor accept the nominations to vacant
! parishes, nor give TO thenew curates either
| house or s,ipends until tbe-Bishops and the
Roman See have submitted to the Govern
ment. And the article ends with this
| ubiquitous dilemma Either the Catholic
| u
and SO we shall have clear proof that it
does not need any support from the Gov
| ernment-which had taken all its proper
| ties-or, the test will prove too severe, and
the stubborn, obstinate Roman See, and
the Bishops and clergy will finally be
Church will receive such q humiliation as
will never be forgotten. The official
Opinione yesterday says exactly the
4 same thing. The Vocc della Ver;ta
replies that it is trne that in many
States Catholics support their clergy
bu !, firstly, that the people in other coun
tries are not ruined by taxation as in Italy
secondly, that in Italy the aims of the PEG.
pie to the clergy will be taxed and dimin.
ished, as is now the case with the stipend
of the Mass; thirdly, that under such
} Government it would be impossible tc
establish a sy stem of trustees UNDER such
legislation aud legislators. But, after all
do what they can for the poor, destitute
clergy. The qualification of seeing the
: Pope and the Bishops kneeiing down before
the Italian Government to receive aims will
never be afforded to the enemies of the
Church.

/ PERSECUTION IN RUssIA.
We hear that Russia ia going on trans
! porting or exiting priests. The Able
Dzicanicki, Dean of Grodno, and the Able
Szumowski, a parish priest, have been
lately exiled.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The report of the technical commission
for the transfer of the Capital to Rome has
just been printed, accompanied by the doc
lments on which it is founded, showing the
total amount of landed property taken
possession of at Rome in consequence of
the said transfer. The properties are forty
one in number, and of these nineteen
belong to religious corporations.
