LONDON, August 9s.-Recent advices
from the Vatican, believed to be entire

healthy and vigorous to remarkable
degree considering his advanced age.
He seems to be much worried because
of the steady diminution of the Peter

of the church universal at any given
time. the marked falling of now ex-
hlbited does not fail to receive his
anxious attention.
His advisers endeavor TO account Tor
the situation on the theory of the pow
ertv of the masses rather than on that
of their diminishing zeal for the well
fare of the Pontiff, but this explanation
affords but cold comfort. The decrease
of revenue has become so marked that
His Holiness has found it necessary to
withdraw certain investments in order
to meet the expenses Of maintaining
the establishments whose cost has
hitherto been betrayed out Of the Pc
