THE PILGRIMS.


TO RoME-ADDREss FROM THE CLERGY TO
THE POPE.
The Inman steamship City OF Berlin sailed Yesterday
afternoon for Liverpool taking on board, among hcr
other passengers, number or pilgrims their way
TO Rome Owing to the inclemency OF the weather It
was expected that the crowd Of friends and relatives
OF the pilgrims accompanying them to the steamer TO
bid them adieu would not DO very large. but quite
largo throng assembled on pier No As, North River,
long before the hour OF sailing and the drizzng rain
seemed 10 have effect in cooling their ardor. Men.
women and children were there in great numbers,
all anxious TO have q last look at tho depart
ing pilgrims and to wish them hearty
God speed on their way to the Eternal City The elite
Of the Catholic population Of the city we'll repre-
scned, but the crowd confined to any particu
lar class Of the community. Working men, merchants,
priests, fashionable ladies' and humble women werc
all mingled in ono enthusiastic thropg and seemed to
vie with each other tho hcartness OF their express
sions OF good will and Of regret Mt their III luck In
not being ablo to accompany them In their Journey In
any case the wish TO be able to accomplish the pill
grmage was unmistnkabo, but the crowd, rs mat
ter OF course. made up exclusively Of
devout cnurch-gocrs The City Of Berlin swung
out OF the dock about hai-past three
O'Clock, and tho of leave taking on board
very animated. The pilgrims looked well and in good
bay by few OF their friends IL intended that
quito large party should accompany the steamer but
the heavy rendered tho trip too uncomfortable and
but friends of tho pilgrims went further
than the pier.
Two addresses In Latin. from the clergy OF the
diocese Of New York. the other from the laity, have
been prepared for presentation to tho Holy Father by
tho pilgrims The address from the clergy is signed
