LETTER FROM ROME.
THE sroPrAGE OF p1LGR1MAGl

unoer pretence of fear of sanitary conse
9uences, Is most ty ranncal measure, an.
of the Radical papers put forward anothe
pretence-that TIE pilgrimages are in real
ity political demonstrations. This il
equally groundiess; pilgrimages have nj
way been devotional practice in Italy
They are traditional acts of Catholic piet,
and devotion, aud have never been turned
to warlike or political ends.
Inc following is the order issued by the
slndaco OF Rome on the subject of pilgrim.
ages.
In pursuance of instruction received from
the Prefecture of Rome:-
Noftce- In consequence of orders emapatinp
! from the Prefecture of the Province of Imbrig
aud Amona, the Procession of Pardon, tho Phi.
grlmages directed to San Angelo of Perugii, to
the Madonna Of the Angels, to San Francesca
dAssisi, aud to the Holy House is Loreto, are
prohibited on the ground of the public health
me pilgrims, whether single or in company,
shall DO sent back from the territory of both
provinces; and wherever, by eluding surveil-
lance, they shall have succeeded in entering
they will render themselves liable to police
penalties; they shall be arrested and conduct-
Ell back to their own country under escort"
Thus it appears to be foreseen that so
great concourse of pilgrims is to asscp,-
bic, as to constitute danger to the public
health. We have been told that pilgrim
ages had had their day aHd that religious
superstition was at an end in Italy. and
that every body was Satisfied with the new
order of things. This police edict seems
to tell different tale. 1t would not have
been wanted for few dozens or even a
-ew hundreds.
AT THE VATICAN.
Last week the Holy Father gave a pri-
vate reception to Signor Vlncenzo Bugeia,
OF Malta, gentleman who had been a In ost

riety of ways. The Sisters of the Good
Shepherd at Malta, the Asylum for Peni-
tent Women, aud the Society of St. Vim
cent of Paul, have largely shared ia his
charitable generosity. The Voce della Ve
rita says, that Signor Bugeja was accom-
panied by an English gentleman, Mr.. Ing
lott, to whom the Holy Father gave q fine
silver medal, struck in commenoration of
his entering on the twenty eighth year of
his Pontlfcate, mmissoning him to pre-. |

said that whilst in Rome Signor Bugeja Sc

the House of Charity which he is about to |
build in Malta.
