Tho process called " appropriation" is being
actively carried on by the Italian GoWe'nmeh'
men are there night and day, or at least TO
very late hour OF the night, and the sonna Of
hammers ladders, and the miscellaneous noises
attending upon building and altering could DE
heard even in the church on Sunday; and in
deed on all the Government WORKS no attention
whatever is paid to the Sunday, but labor
goes on unremittipsiy:: Already some OF inc
rooms with the adjacent corridors, have been
taken away. aud learn that to-day Q6'h OF
April u wall is being built across the long and
wide gallery which can be seen from the ell

this wall is completed, which will be before
nightfall, the Fathers will be deprived of about
twenty more rooms, including tho inhrmiry

dispensary. This is really very cruel as there
are no tirc.places in the few bare cells left to
them and The sick and aged of the house viii
be deprived of many material comforts essen

TIE LATE RIOT NEAR THE GEsr.
see by a letter in the Times that one DR..
Barbcri Borchini states that the clercals'
that is, Mr.. Nansittart and his friends, carried
loaded canes. This is n sheer invention, Mr.
Eau~ittart had indeed a cane of the slightest
and Iighlest description neither did they pass
and repass" but went straight on thea way
home AS to their ASSISTANTS being a 4 gentle

ing upholsterer much employed in church de-
coratou and in hanging curtains and festoons,
etc. on great feasts; Spezzichino Is young
jew rom tie ghetto, and though certainly not
of the lowest class of the people, they can
hardly kc said to be of the highest class of
hurgesses, and scarcely to be classed with the
rest. the letter in the Times puts it as all
gentlemen of birth and education" While on
the subject of letters to the Times, may brief
notice another from soi disant Catholic sign
ing himself" NJ A. F." written from Naples
He admits that "the Liberals of the present
day do not respect the liberty of the Church
They rob her of her property, deny her just
rights. aud treat her with au arbitrary ipjus
tice which they dare not show to any other
institution or body of men, and yet the writer
with great ability produces n long letter TO try
and prove That we ought not to condemn oil
loudly blame the Government of Victor En-
manuel for such conduct, because the Reoubii
cans would be great deal worse. This clever
and plausible letter in fact pleads for support
ing a Government which TINS treats til,

violent, or rather IL less hypocritical party
'loomiug 10 the distance" 1t Is certainly true
as the writer says, that st. Stephen prayed fol
his murderers and, as far as we know. did not
deuounce their actions. The Pope and all The
Catholic Bishops and people pray for theiI
prosecutors aud pardon them, but that is nc
reason why. things should not he called by
their right names, when neither Our Lord noi
Ills Apostles, and notably ST. Peter ard st.

Who doubts the charity, the larse-hcarted
ness, the tender gentleprss of Pope Piss the
Ninth: who doubts that lie prays for and par
dons his enemies. and those who heap atlc'
lie say: Simply what tho Gospel says. mo
man can serve two masters" And again, that
there cannot be auy accord between Christ and
Belial. His Holiness, whilst the very impcr-
souation of Christian charity aud Contlcness,
cnphatically condemns what is called tho doc

letter in question would seem to recommend.
No doubt the expropriators, annexation lists,
and receivers of the spoil in general would be

to suffer, and will have to suffer still moo for
not accepting quietly the spoliation aud perse-
