without enjoying the advantages. This is not just.
The religious corporations, medeval remains,

much material and moral damage IL Is supernu0us
to say. AS II Rome had not equal rights with her
sister cities, the Governor proposes an exceptional
law, which, under che speclou5 title or suppression,
is only legal recognition of reactonary associa-

rendering our Rome moral lazzaretto-the sink
OF Italy.
At the hour appointed for the meeting the entry
OF the amphitheatre was occupied by police, gend-
armes and police delegate, who requested the
people collected there to dispense. They did SO,
vut only to congrcgate in larger numbers on the
Piazza Iii san Lorenzo, IN Lucina, whence they
proceeded up the Corso, with nags and shouts Of
"AbbdsSO le cOpOydziOnj TefgOSe, Uiud III te00e del

ROUGH HANDLING OF CLERICAL CLOTH.
Near the Cafe Bagnoli the procession was stopped
by olllcer OF gcndarmes, but allowed to proceed
as far as the Via dell Umita where the ascent to
the Quirnal was barred by posse Of police and
gendarmcs On the Piazza di Trevi an unlucky
prelatc, Monsgnor Pila, whose brother was Min
lister OF the Interior under the P0ntitlcal govern
ment got surrounded by the demonstrationists as
he was passing in close carriage with a monk Of
ST. Anastasio and vincenzo, and two other ecce-
sastics. The mob discovered the sacerdOtal garb
OF the occupants of the vehicle, and would have
overthrown carriage and all into the ample basin
OF the rrevl fountain II an opportune rescue had
not appeared in the form Of patrol OF gendarmcs.
The poor priests had terrible fright and glad
to take refuge in house on the Piazza Poll. At
the foot of the Quirinal hill as have said, the
progress Of the procession was
PREVENTED BY AN ARMED FORCE.
Their orders were only to use their arms In case
OF great provocation. apd they endeavorcd TO per-
suadc the demonstrationists to desist from their
avowed purpose OF proceeding to the Royal Palace.
1t was all useless The citizen Panico harangued
his companions, informing them that the King
could see and hear them.
NOT WORK WITH SWORD AND FIREARMS.
police delegate ordered the arrest OF Panico.
A scufile followed. The gen darmes drew their
swords on which man named Eugenio Fogosi, OF
Ancona, threw down one OF the gendarmes ana
was trying TO disarm him, when he was attacked
BY the other gcndarmes and wounded In the arm
ana ioins Some reviewers were fired, but probably
only in the air, to intmidate the crowd, for there
are no persons wounded with bullets on the list OF
damaged emonstrationsts. gendarme was also
slgntly wounded, and doubtless good number Of
people got squeezed and crushed in the general
stampede winch followed. Twenty-threc Of the
most active rioters were arrested on the spot.
They are mostly Of the lower orders.
RIOTS IN VARIOUS QUARTERS
After the dispersion or the mob, on the ascent to
the Quirinal, which was about half-past five O'Clock
+. NJ some other disorders took place In different
parts OF the city. The eloquent Deputy OF the
Right, Signor Mn1hetti whose speech reported
in a preceding letter az having somewhat cleri-
cal tendency, was recognized, mobbed ana beaten
on the Piazza Iii venezia, where he was walking
peaceably with his honorable colleague, General
Cevrott. The venerable Duke OF Lermoneta, Dep
uty Tor Rome who is blind, but OF ultra liberal prin-
cipes was recognized by band OF demonstra-
tonists on the Corso and escorted with great
honor TO his palace, where he addressed few op-
perfume words to them, admitting the justice Of
their demands to DC governed by the same laws as
other Italians, but inviting them to remain within
the bounds OF legality by dispensing quietly.
PARLIAMENTARY REORGANIZATION
The Duke was In his place in Parliament to-day
and surrounded by friends. The sitting was
very animated. severe questions were put to the
Ministry the prohibition Of the publication OF the
programme OF the Progressst Club, on the prohbl-
ton OF the meeting OF yesterday on the events OF
Yesterday afternoon and on the intentions OF the
government for the maintenance OF public order.
Deputy Seismlt-Doda, or the Left, accused Prime
Minister LAMA OF having had different opinions be-
fore he came to power and OF having upset the
Ricasoh Ministry on question OF the popular right
OF holding meetings, which right he now denies.
Cairol said that no conservative Ministry ever
dared to he so rcpressve as LAMA.
LAMA replied, defending his policy and stating
that he mad only done his duty.
Mingh ETH related his adventure OF yesterday,
saying that the crowd shouted, "Death to the Par
lament Death to the Deputiesln but that he got
safely into the barracks near the Jesuits convent,
and without any beating. Carroll finally proposed
that vote OF blame should be passed on the Min
stry as the test OF the religious corporations vote
was near at nand.
On tho Deputies coming out Of Parliament just
now tnalfpast six p. NJ found crowd OF people
collected to hiss or applaud the different orators.
A military force maintained order.
