A Rome letter, October z, 10 the New
York Times says:
The Pope has taken . step this week
which will help to break the illusion OF hie
exists. Tho Holy Father has presided 81 .
mass meeting of his friends In the Church
Of St. Peter, and has given great many Of
10 an opportunity TO have another sight q
him and to hear his voice, after having
been denied that pleasure for more than
six years. Some have estimatod tho num-
Der present % high - 5000, but do not
think the number Of tickets distributed wa0
more than half that. For ton days past the
the country of Loyols and st. Dominic
each squad ranging from 300 to 800 or 800.
As one of the first objects of these visit
0rs 10 to see the Pope and have their beads
blessed by him, it soon became . question
where, except in the public square, it would
be possible to give audience to 90 large .
company. No room in the Vatican il Of .
capacity equal to such numbers, and by
general consent St. Peters was pitched
upon. The fiction runs that Plus TX. has
NOT been in the church since the new public
has had control of Rome. 1t is certain that
the pontiff has never appeared before an
audience there, although it 10 probable that
he has wandered about over its marble pave
ment when the building has been closed.
At any rate, . novelty was to be offered,
both 40 to the numbers and the place,
and many, not of the company Of the
'pilgrims," asked the privilege Of join
ing the crowd. The arm of the cross on
the eide of the sacristy, or on the left side
a. one faces the high altar, was the part Of
the building chosen for the meeting. Mon.
day was the day, and by twelve O'Clock the
throng that for two hours had been ding
into the Basilics by tho two entranoes-
can for the Spaniards, and the passage ON
the side of the Palace Of the lnquisition for
the others admitted-had arrived ct it, full
measure. Full ninety Of every hundred
present had never yet seen tho Pope, who,
if he was not before, il now, certainly, tho
greatest curiosity of Rome. There was .
hush of expectation, but not of long CON-
tinuance, and the curiosity of the Spsniards
had its satisfaction.
The Pope descended from the Vatican by
the private staircase which leads 70 the
Chapel of the Holy Sacrament. Hero he
mounted the sedia gestGt0ria, proceeded,
and followed by . large number Of the
papal court, including most Of the cardinals
having residence in Rome, by the Noble
and Pslatine Guards, and the Swiss in
their fantastical costumes of ceremony. A
the cortege moved across the church, nearly
the whole Of the vast company fell upoa
their knees. Arrived ct the end Of the
transept, his holiness left the platform upoa
which he was carried, and mounted tho
throne which had been set up before tho
altar. The archbishop of Granada read IN
address of some length, to which the Pope
replied, also in Spanish, . language some

After the speech was impaired the apos-
tclic benediction. The voice of the Pontiff,
at the beginning of his discourse, was clear
and vigorous, but fell off to . lower
tone before the end. The Pope has lost
color since We last saw him, and begins to
give signs that his forces are running out.
Still his aspect il such - to encourage his
friends to hope that his life may for some
time yet be prolonged. His health 10 cared

that can be reasonably asked. and the

This incident Of the presentation passed
off without any serious jar being given to
the susceptibilities of the Romans. A con-
siderable crowd had collected in the square
of st. Peters to witness the going in and
coming ont, and, az is almost always the
case, there were some mixed up in it who
would have been glad to be spectators of or
actors in Q row. A few Kisses we're heard,
and attempts to raise . shout for Italy and
Victor Emmanuel, as Q demonstration in
opposition to the Pope's party, but . stop
was at once put to all such ill-bred CON
duct. Within the church the inspection of
tickets of admission was pretty rigid, where
there was the least suspicion that any
with pr0fane intentions had succeeded
in obtaining ingress. A good many Jour
nalists were looking ON, with NO moro
malevolent purpose than to pick up such
facts as were worth taking notice OF. The
chronicler of the Opinione, which news
paper has lately taken up the defense Of
the rights OF the clergy, was, according to
his own account, pretty severely oatechised,
with the threat Of being put out, but saved
himself BY diplomatic maneuvre. Others
escaped by keeping we'll in the shade. The

l omitted to mention that in the church,
after the Pope had given his blessing and
was carried back toward the staircase BY
which he entered, followed by the whole
mass of his adherents, the enthusiasm of
the less educated part of the crowd broke
out into vivas of applause, without regard
to the Injunction put upon them by their
priests, that the sanctity of the place must
not be violated by such manifestations.
