Edmund Yates Denies Ingrstitude

Edmund Yates Denies Ingratitude.
NEW YORK, September S.-Edmund
Yates has written letter in reply to the
accusation, that in his latest ActIon he
had given personal description Of Amer
ican celebrities, and had repaid much
kindness by personal ingrstituds. In
the course of the letter Mr. Yates writes:
The plessantest six months of my life
were passed in the United States. The
greatest personal kindness, hospitality
and attention which have ever expe-
rienced We're received there This is not
said with any view TO the future, for
there is no present prospect of my again
visiting America. This is simply rec
ognition of what have continually eI-
pressed orally and in print since my
return 10 England, and it is protest
which desire to place on record against
an unfOunded charge, BY which | have
been very much distressed"

Rome.
A letter from Rome SAYS in going on
with Its work of hquidsting the church

week made TO feel for the first time the
pressure, and the first turn of the screw
brought to the auction blocks the fine
property of Montallo, a large villa or
palace in in an admirable situation above
Froscati. A portion of the great house
has been place of resort for the students
of this seminary, during the hot months
of summer and it will be n great sac
rifce for them to give up the
retreat where they have for long time
enjoyed the most agreeable recreations.
All sorts ofprotcsts were put in by the
directors Of the Propaganda, and by
friends connected with foreign establish
mentS in Rome The upset price was
100000 francs, and it was Knocked down
at $27,00O francs. The Propaganda will
receive annually sum equal to about
$4,000 francs, As the benefit from this in
vcstmcnt in the public funds.
