Tauffkirchen. Minister of Bavaria to tn
Holy See. who presented his letters o

ton of several Roman and foreign gentle
men and ladies'. A deputation from
Buenos Ayres, introduced by the Rector o
the South American College, waited on hi
Holiness on the 18th, to present an offer
ing OF 22,700 hundred francs in gold, and
some embroidery worked by the " Dame d
Cordova," IN the Argentine Republic. The
Pope conversed with the deputation in the
18th, n most interesting scene was wit
messed in the Vatican. Over two hundred
and fifty children of Roman citizens with
their parents were assembled in the Hall OF
Consistory, which was adorned with
Aowers. The children presented to the
Holy Father their Epiphany offering. Then
followed Rotations and response from
the Pope. The children, before they left,

hymn specially composed for the occasion.
TRINIrA De- MoNTI.
The French Convent of the Nuns of the
Sacred Heart attached to the Church of
tho Trinita de- MONT, which stands near
the entrance to the Pincio above the Piazza
di Spagna, is now in dispute between the
Giunta and the French Government. The
expropriators have called on the French
this property. The church aud premises
were built and beautifed by the French,
but just now every point is raised which
can lead to dispute with France.
ARCIIBIsuorLYNCH.
The Archbishop of Toronto, the Most
Rev. John Lynch, preached on the 18th of
January ore of the English sermons in the
Church of st. Andrea della Vale. The
audience was large, and included Bishops
Conroy, MacDevitt, and MacCormack, the
principal Catholic Irishmen and Englis

clergymeu. The Archbishop preached for
nearly al hour, ana was listened to with
much attention. He gave an account of
the wonderful spread of Catholicism in the
British Colonial possessions, and in the
United States. and brought forward some
most interesting statistics in illustration of
his subject.
TIE FORGED BULL.
The Bull of Cologne, published on tho
eve of the German elections, excites great
controversy at present. Some say it was
concocted in Germany. Others declare it
was written in Rome and paid for by the
Prussian Legation. Tho price is reported
to have been 10000 francs. The purchasers
are said to have been taken in by clever
italian, who pretended to have access,
through means of a servant to the private
CARDINAL ANToNELLI.
Certain newspapers in Rome, much pa
by Republicans and Revolutionists,
pander to the depraved taste of their read
ers by reporting all sorts of scandalous in
ventiOns to the detriment of either the
Monarchcal or the Papal party. The
illness and death of the Pope were favorite
topics with these interruptions writers,
who. provided their canard creates a mo-
sensation, care little for the pain
or annoyance they may cause to individ-
uals, and seem incapable of feeling any
sense of shame when their statements
are discovered to/be untrue. The Pope
accordingly, has been Oftentimes killed off
in the chlumus ofthc Garibaldian journals.
Now it is>the turn of Cardinal Antonelli.
His brother died lately, and this circum-
stance, which among gentlemen would be
enough t" check idle or painful gossip con.
corning the Cardinal, has drawn upon him !
The attention of the italian Ners and the
Idpitdic. The former journal is printed {
n the English tongue for the benefit of J
hose English and American travellers
whose education did not include the study I
# French or Italian. 1t is edited and con- g
lucted IN the courier and valet de place q
lyle. Its issue of Thursday, the 18th, g
contained an apparently authentic account t
# the mortal illness of Cardinal Antonelli, Il
o whom the Pope himself had, with his t
WI hands, administered the right of ex- '
RENE JUNCTION. The Capitalc Of the day 6
stated that the Cardinal was n
onfined to his chamber by an attack of il
out. Both paragraphs were utterly with a
ut foundation. His Eminence, Cardinal o
Antonelli, was at all the Vatican functions o
airing the week, including tho consecra- q
ion on Sunday and the consistory on Fri t
ay. fl
