LETTER FROM ROME.
AUDIENCES.


AUDIENCES. .
ROME, May l1.-Last Sunday, the Feast
of St. Plus ", there was a large gathering
at the Vatican of the Roman nobility, who
came into Rome for the day to offer their
dress was likewise presented by those who
formerly belonged to the Ministry Of the
Interior. In the evening the Duke of Par
ma arrived, and was received by the Holy
Father, and Immediately after returned to
Florence. His visit has been much COM
mented upon by the revolutionary press.
DEMONSTRATION AT PoRrA ST. pANcRAzIo.
The revolutionary meeting at the Porta
st. Pancrazio turned out great failure.
The Government had prohibited the pro-
,cession from the Piazza Navoha, and conse-
quently some of the chiefs of the Republi-
can party, with Ricciotti Garibaidi at their
head, met outside the gate; and after the
| delivery of few revolutionary speeches,
the assembly, which did not consist of
more than 200 or 800 people, returned to
Rome. 1t is a curious fact that even the
Republican papers state that hardly any
Romans were present, and that the Assem-
bly, was composed of foreigners. This was
the case at the plebiscite, and has always
been remarked whenever there has been
any demonstration in favor of Victor En-
manuel or the Italian Government.
FEAST OF ST. Plus V.
On the same day immense crowds of peo-
| pie visited the chapel of st. Plus V. at Sta
Maria Maggiore, where his body was. ex-
posed to the veneration of the faithful. On
Monday, after the nomination of the new
Bishops mentioned in the last number of
the Tablet, the Holy Father read decree
appointing for the future q 'Cappelia Pa
pale" on the Feast of st. Joseph.
| THE PROTESTANT PROPAGANDA.
The ex-Pere Hyacinthe, Gavazzi, and the
Protestant missionaries, both male and fe-
climates. In spite of all attempts to per-
vert the Romans, of which the chief agency
this last winter has been money. there has
been a complete failure; after the example
of Naples and Florence, it seems extraor-
binary that SO much money should have
been wasted in Rome. A few needy peo-
pie will consent to send their children to q
Protestant school for the sake of franc a
day or a substantial meal, but when this
comes to an end, or Other more honest
means of gaining a livelihood are found,
the attendance ceases altogether.
DECORATIONS.
The Prince of Campagnano, the Presi-
dent of the Society of the "Interessi Cat
toilet, >" has just received the Grand Cross OF
on the Duke of Sora, and also on the Mar
cheese Serlupi; Marchese G.. Cavalletti and
Count Pianciani have been made knights
of the-sape order.
PRINCESS MARGARET.
The Princess Margaret has left Rome fol
Milan. Her stay in the Quirinal during the
winter does not seem to have been very
pleasant, as she was constantly ill. The
people look upon it as q judgment for liv-
ing in one of the Popes palaces.
STA cHocE AND IS. oUATTRo.
There seems to be no doubt that Santa
Croce is to be turned into an establishment
so old and venerable sanctuary to such q
purpose is revolving, but the Government
seem to have no sense of what is becoming
Prince Pallavicini, the head of what il
called the Charity Commission, has been
lately showing his zeal in driving out the
SIS. Quattro. The Holy Fatheris looking
for suitable place to lodge them.
CHARITY OF THE POPE.
In the midst of his poverty the Holy Fa-
Their does not forget the distressed, and
has just sent 5000 lire to the Archbishop oil
Naples for those who have suffered in the
late eruption of Vesuvius.
ELECTIONS OF GENERALS.
The religious orders have lately been
electing their Generals. The Capuchins
have chosen a most capable and intelligent
man, Fra Eglolo "a Cortona, who after the
suppression in Tuscany has succeeded in
buying back all the houses of the Order
which were confscated. He has done this
almost entirely by the aims of the poor.
THE GERMAN EMBASSY.
The most absurd reports have been
spread about concerning Cardinal Hohen-
, lobe. Perhaps his only fault is that he is
in Berlin instead of being in Rome, where
the rest of the Sacred College has remained
since the imprisonment of the Holy Father.
He left for Munich on the Oath of Sept,
