Ball storm in the Eternal f.'lty—vn» sanity of cardinal TalbotTlie rope's Letter to llic archbishop of of Boaa T riddel-A Paris—Death l(o in an senator. (Correepcndesce of the Philadelphia Eveuliii Bulletin.! Rome, Italy, Piazza di Bpagna, March 19th, 1869.— Feu comme le temps de Genes— “ Mad as Genoese weather'—is a Tuscan proverb,and well applies to the .weather In Rome this season. Last week wo hod two hall-storms, and cold that made ns think of January instead of March. On the first day the Piazza was cleared Instantly; 1 beard the hail pattering: and looked oat the window beside me; clear down the distance by the Virgin Column was a single “trap" driving for dear life, and the usually crowded Piazza was solitary and forlorn. The gray hail-Btoncs lay liko little balls over the ground, and the water poured In torrents along the various channels. It Is said that the bail-stones lay an inch deep on the Pinclan. The weather this week is fine, snd to-day tbo air Is bo delicious that travelers are going off to Tivoli, Albano, Frascati, and In all the various directions attract ive for cscurslons. As next week is Holy Week, visitors ere anxious to seize on the pleasant days beforehand, as during Holy Week nothing is at tended to but the various interesting spectacular ceremonies. There has been an unprecedented rush on the backers for tickets to the Functions; and Mr. Grant, Mr. Hooker’s obliging and agree able junior partner, tells me that their house has received tbe largest number of tickets distributed., Tbe popularity of Americans in Rome Is pro verbial,—it seems only necessary to have it known that an American asks for a favor and It is granted. • Talking of being mad, poor Monslgnor Talbot, who has been tbe Pope’s Cup-bearer ever since Plus IX's accession to tbe Papacy, Is afflicted elth insanity. He has gone mad, It is said—tbe n suit of a lodb state of ill-health. His physi cians have ordered him to the East, whither he has gone accompanied by Monslgnor Howard. Just now tbe subject of conversation among hote who feci interested in ecclesiastical polities 1,1 be ODly kind of politics that is a fioe art instead ..1 a science or an inelinet, as civil governments make it) Is the letter that has been lately pub .iebtd. written by the Pope to the Archbishop of Paris. It was written os far back as 1869, bat as tbe immobility of Roman affaire is proverbial, the a lter possesses all the force of an actuality, and tbe situation It defines may be‘regarded os still existing. Tbe Uniui Cattulicu gives the memorable docu ment in toll, and everybody is reading and corn men ling npon it. One thing is remarked byout -iders—the letter must baye been published by ibe consent of all parties, Pope, Emperor and Archbishop, and its appearance, coming jnst now on the eve of- the approaching Council, increases ‘ its * importance. One of the gravest questions that . will be presented to the Council is this very subject of • pitcopal independence, which is treated npon lii ihe Papal letter of '6O. I would give this in •crceliDg epistle entire, bnt it is quite long, and, moreover, yon will receive it in your ioreign journals. A few words will present an outline ut its principal points. The Pope reproaches Monsignor Etarboy with ■ being in opposition to .he Council oi Trent and acting as Febroniua did. The celebrated Father Lainec, on the morning uf the 90:b October, 1562—over three hundred years ago—delivered a long dlsconrec,which was listened lo with profound attention by the assembled prelates of that great Connell of Trent. In it the learned Jesuit reduced to a, formula { f ormulated as Emereon would say) the Roman doctrine of the universal Papal jurisdiction. By ibis formula the Bishops ore in their administra tions simple mandatories or proxies of the Fope; their subjects always have the right to refer to ihe centre of authority at Rome, and the Pope bas power lo take away any part of their juris diction, such as the surveillance of the religions oidtrs, &c. Father Lainez exposed this doctrine with great energy snd eloquence, and it was adopted by the Connell of Trent. He was a great man, this Father Lainez, in more things than one. I re member a story about him which the late Dr. Ryder, who was formerly President of George town College, told me many years ago. Father Lainiz one day went to Father Ignatius Loyola, Ihe founder of their order, and told him, with some eagerness, of the latest news from Rome. It was jnst at Ihe period when Papal elections came quick in succession. Panl 111, Ju lius 111. and Marcellos Il.had followed swiftly on each other’s path. The friends of Lainez talked eainistlyof proposing him for the Papacy at a coming election, and the zealous Father, eager for tbe success of his order and their principles, hastened to inform his snporior of the plan and its feasibility. Father Ignatins listened attentively; Father Lainez grew more and mere earnest, and un folded every plan and mode of action. \Vhen be reached the end his superior looked at him quietly and said: “Brother Lainez, go into the kitchen and wash difhte for a month.” There was an instant of silence; then Brother Lainez Inrned, went into the convent kitchen, iiDd washed dishes for a month! But to return for a few moments to Monslgnor Darboyand the Episcopal independence which be claims. Since that Great Council this doctrine of Papal jurisdiction has been often attacked, and one of the most celebrated assailants was the Febronins to whom Pius IX. likens Monsignor Darboy. Now who was Febronius ? A churchman friend tells mo the following: In 1763, there was at Treves, in Luxembourg, tin old Electoral Archbishop,George deSconborn, who was strongly infected with Leibnitz theories and notions of fraternizing the various Christian communions. Archbishop George had for coad jutor a certain learned Doctor, famous for his skill in canonical law, and this fine art, ecclesias tical politics—John Nicholas de Hontheim. He was the real administrator of the diocese, the shining light or the Church of Luxembourg. One fine day in 1763 this Doctor John Nicholas published a famous book under the pseudonym of “Febronius,” and gave it a loßg Latin title, the words of which have ever since echoed in the cars of the clerical parly with discordant sounds. "Juste Febronil do statu preßenti I. C. ecclesl® et legitima potestate romani pontlficU, liber sln gularis, ad reunlendos dissidontes In religionem cbristlanos comoositas.”- There you have the full title of this pestiferous publication, as it has been considered by the Papal party. What a noiso it madel The anchor sustained, without expressing any-dogmatical heresy, that the Pppe nad na effective authority in the diocese; that ho is only Primate by honor, and he overwhelmed with criticism the large body nf Kccleslaßtlcal “rcgulars” that are spread over the Catholic world,—'the noble, army"of saints and martyrs,”—the monks, and various religious brotherhoods who ore everywhere outside of Episcopal authority, and amenable only to tho Pope. Never did any work make a greater bustle at, the Vatican. “Hontheim, alios Febronins.” was excommunicated, Clomom B. Clement 14 by bis own pen uvon,and Pius VI. denounced him and hie work to tbo Catholic world. - * In the height of the fidget the poor Archbishop; George dti Scon born died. The succeeding Prelate: was a Prince of tho house of Albertlne de Saxe, who agreed with the Holy Sco, acd Hontheim found Tiovfs too hot to hold him. Howas ban ished from Treves, of course. At that time ho was 78. Solitude, disgraco, or tlmo for reflection, whatever it might have been, made tho old Doctor PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1869. think better (or worse, as one’s opinion may be on there matters) of the qnestlon. After a little while, he made a solemn recantation, which was received affectionately at ihe Vatican and praised us much as bis book had been abused. Hon ibelm, alias Febronlus, lived quietly the rest of bis life, and dltd in Rome twelve years after, .at peace with bis Papal Father. The Pope comparts Monslgnor Darbov to Fo: i.ronius. Now, it remains to bo seen if the Arch bishop of Pariß will take the back track as old John Nicholas did.. Rosa Taddei, sister of the famous Taddei, the Prince of Garaiteiisii on the Italian stago, died lately at an advsnerd sge snd in great poverty.: Roßafaad a romantic life, fnll of ops and downs, Hite was a brilliant improvisatress, and for many rears was a great attraction in. Roman drawing rooms Bnd academies. The princes and sovereigns who visited Rome used io'delight in listening to Ross, and giving her subjects. She improvised both verse and rhapsodical prose, and it la satd she sometimes poured iont very elevated and even grand passages. Poor-woman, her day of glory passed away as it does to every one; and for some years she has been entirely forgotten. When Rosa died she left to the kind peasant woman with whom she bad lived for many years all that she owned cf value—her papers! I fabey it will tie a useless heritage; ana yet there le something icc-xpiessibly mournful and attractive In this, faith which the dying woman must have had in in r powers. Tbe world had forgotten her, bnt the mi mory of her success hung in a musical atmos phere about her, and underlie influence she put on paper her rhapsodies, which doubtless need all the diviDe coloring that youth, beauty and a “3 mp&lhetlc voice and manner gave them. For iuiaginatlsn in itself is a little tbiDg—lt isafacnlty •hat needs nourishment, and education is,lts proper food. -i i-- - The Roman Benatehas lately Inscribed on the Goldtn Book of Patricians the name of the otilr bteeindant in direct line of tbe Emperors o£ the East, ond also ol the last Lascarls of 1789—An cnio Lascaris Angelo FlavU Comnenus, Grand Duke ol Epirus, Larissas, Media and Macedonia, I’iince ol Pelopcnnossus, and Perpetual Grand ‘ Master, by right Of birth, of the Supreme; Order ut the Chevaliers of St George, Instituted by Constantine.

Anne Bbewstek. AtBVoeiIIJENXS. —Tbe opera of Faust, by Uoonod, te beyond all • inestion, very popular in Philadelphia; for last even leg. at its representation by tbe Maretzek troupe, tbe Academy of Music woe excessively crowded, and this - m the extraordinary condition of an extra charge of one dollar for a reserved eeat; making two dollars the eat cost of each seat not previously secured by sub scription. Inasmuch as an assumed supreme and earned authority bas decided that the people here 1 will not pay more than one dollar per seat for the opera, there most be something extraordinary to fill be great theatre at two dollars a seat as it was last ■ ijrnt filled when Faust was played. Evidently tbe people have made a mistake In violating a published canon; bnt whatever may have been the motive, or tba attraction, or tbe lasblon, there can be no disputing ihe fact that in spite of what ihe people say, or tbe press may say. tbe numbers in tbe house,.and the money In tbe house, for last evening’s perfoimance of Faust, were quite remarkable. Of tbe performance of tbe opera so much cannot be said. In general effect and in some particulars b' Das been mucb better done on former occasions. Miss Kellogg makes up well for the part of •■Marguerite eingß. (he music faithfully and elegantly in all except her trills, which are not the well marked vibrations between atone and a semi-tone which a careful teache r of the old ecboo! would exact. But she is, in all other respects, a great vocalist, and she has studied this pail of “Marguerite" with an intelligence and eouscien • iousness that deserve tbe highest appreciation from the critical portion of the public, as well as the uncriti cal portion, that finds its highest enjoyment in tbe re lincd and exquisite beauties of tbe opera bouffe, and that baa more to say of toilette than of talent, when f peaking of an artist. With all her faithful slndy and careful performance, there can be no disguising a natu ral coolness of temperament that shows itself whenever Miss Kellogg undertakes any character re quiring passion for its proper interpretation. A mu sician can find no serious fault in anything she does in ihis or any other opera. Bnt there have been poorer ringers than she is, who have produced much more inipicssion in the same opera than she did In the )ier li irmacco of last evening. And yet she sings and acts so well, and there are now so few women on the stage, in this country or In any other, that can sing ■jud act sq well, lbat it seems wrong and arias! to point out her deficiencies in temperament or in tech nical ckill. She is one of the few very good vocalists, Hill young In years, that remain on the lyric stage, and she deserves as high appreciation in this conntry as has been awarded her in Europe, where her rank is very high. As to her special performance in Faust, last evening; it did not vary In any respect from that of former seasons. The other principal personations call for some men tion. Mr. Habclmann, wbon he last played “Faust” here, was new In the part, and. to the embarrassment arising from this source was to be added that of sing ing in German, while the rest of the company wero singing In Italian.. He bus now mastered both hi B nefvooßness and bla Italian, and his "Faust” of last evening was in every respect a really fine performance- His acting was free, graceful, intelligent and easy, and bis noble voice and remarkably pure method gave unu sual effect to tho exquisite music that fell to him. We have had no “Faust"’ here so entirely satisfactory as Mr. Habelmann's. Signor Antonncct surprised every one by his capital personation of "Mephlstopbeles.” It was not so totally diabolical and so repulsive as that of Mr. Hermanns, and therefore It was more true to one's idea of a character that was fascinating both to women and to men. So for as voice and sing ing go, Antonuccl’s performance was unexceptionable- He was encored In his grand aria, and In all the other parts of the opera gave perfect satisfaction. Madame Cellini as “Btebel” and Signor Orlaridlni as “Valen tine” were good. The chorus and orchestra were, neither of them, as fall and efficient as they ought to have been; but with avast and well-paying audience, like that of last evening, an lmpressario. may think that he can afford to be Indifferent concerning details, and there Is no nse in attempting to point out the many defects of >lnst .evening’s opera. If it should be repeated, some effort should be made to correct them- This evening Fro Diatolo is to be played. In this opera Miss Kellogg appears to unusual advantage. Ualielmann, too, Is In his glory as "Fra IMavolo,” and Konconi, ns the English lord. Is immense. So fur as real enjoyment goes, this evening’s performance will "pay” better than any one of tho season. . , To-morrow he Prophete will be.prodnccd for the last time. As this will bo the only opportunity offered to see I 'Mad i I,a Orango In the great impersonation of “Fides," we recommend our readers to improve It. ' Tbepcrfprmance isonooftho bost'ovorgiyen in this .countryi ■ . . . ■ “souoor.,” AT TU* ABOII. The fliet performance of School, at the Arch, last OUR WIIOIsE COUNTRY. evening, was. In every respect, a success. , School is a four set comedy, charmingly simple in Its construe lion,Tree from strained effects. composed oi possible. Incidents, and very original in its design ; The story is so slight, that tbe dramatist might have taken for hie motto the words of the weary knire-grinderp ‘•Storyf .Heaven bless you, T have hone -to tell." There la the merest ghost of a plot. An heiress, an orphan, a lord, a poor lover asda baffled villain; and then the lord married to the orphan, the Impecunious iipver in the bonds with the heiress, and a substantial ’heavy nncle on band to bestow a Messing and a . tear. The sketch Is nleeiy tlavond with a suggestion oi Cinderella, to whtm, in some degree, the heroine . jieare tesimblatcc. and tbe likeness Is prettily borne not by the presentation o! a glassslipper to thei bride by her basbsnd.wbofaasasoal for poetic coincidences,. Upon Ibis llttlo iheme Mr. Robertson has, constructed nte of the most entertaining of recent dramas. The situations tire always striking;, tbe climaxes are ap proached ikllfully and are pleasantly ‘ SurprtJiog; the dialogue la natural, wily and rapid, and the interest Is well sustained from first to last. This play is a.'good illustration of tbe fact that an intricate plot.ls sot. be- , cessary 10 a good drama. It proves that an intelligent playwright can accomplish a great deal with very little - material,' It demonstrates that action, rather than U volved.machinery and lofty rhetoric, is the real essen- , -rial fo success in dramatic literature. School Is ninths good as Caste. It Is not as pathetic as that model play, and It has not the power to move an audience so deeply. But its merit la considerable enough to Insure its permanent popularity. The very superficiality which makes It inferior to Mr Robertson's master piece, will, perhaps, recommend'it to that large- class of playgoers who care more for sprlghtllness and - hu mor, than for sentiment and deep passloD. ' Tbe characters In School are all interesting, and a few of them possess strong individuality. “Naomie Tigbe”:iathe heiress. OBd the leader in the school. She is lively, audacious, sentimental after the fashion of some school girls, Bnd a good warm friend. Mrs- Drew, .whose versatility is eqaal to anything, from “Lady Macbeth" to "Mrs. Toodles,” played the charac ter witb-exqaisite grace and spirit; and, indeed, this may be said of the whole company. We have none bnt words of commendation to bestow. There is abso lutely no Cault to find with tbe personations of ally of ihe performers. Miss Price represented , “Bella Marks,” the poor girl who Is the “Cinderella” of the -chool,—a gentle, unsophisticated maid, whom much bullying has made timid and humble. The character s a difficult one, bnt Miss Price looked It and played t inamostsatislactoryinanner. Perhaps Mr. Kveriy deserves the next mention. There is a rusty, forlorn, mildewed tutor la the school. He ia sly, treacherous and uncommonly disagreeable. He Is a “Uriah Heap’’ of a!pedagogue; the butt of the bolder pupils, dud. the tyrant of the fcarfnl ones, like “Bella Marks/' Mr. Evcrly.’s personation of this unpleasant gentleman was >hperb—better indeed than any of thp other good thing* attempted by this actor of late. His costume displayed the inspiration of genius, and the by-play— particularly a very villainous wink of the left eye—was worth whole volumes of text. Mr.-Macksy appeared as “Beau Farlntosh," an ancient worthy, who, in the first three acts, tries to appear young, bnt, at last, comes out as a repentant, earnest, old man. Mr. Hack&y’a performance Wad Very excellent. His mate-up deserves especial men ion. It was a triumph over grave difficulties. Per sonally be is young. In assuming this character, he had to make himself appear old, witiran attempt at youth. He conquered, and so completely, os to be en titled to -congratulation. Mr. Barton Hill and Mr- James, both gave capital performances. The latter gentleman improves with commendable rapidity. Mrs. Thayer, as. ecbool-inarm, was naturally and,cleverly severe ; Mr. Hemple was sufficiently pedantic as the head of the establishment, and Mrs. Creese inado such a charming pnpil that the principal's fondness for the profession found a natural explanation. Tbe scenery is new, and Tery beautiful. The forest scene, and the garden of the school, deserve separate mention. We would suggest to Mrs. Drew that the piano-playing in the third act is a nuisance, and ought to be suppressed. The instrument is a very good one, and the performer exec's; but there-is no earthly reason why there should l>e music at that particular time, and the noise partly drowns the dialogue, and entirely distracts the attention of the-audience. Mr.. Dodworth’a orchestral music was- very fair. The “thunderstorm galop!' was the most successful selec tion. Tbe imitation of pouring rain-and biting blasts was so natural that an old lady In the parquet circle was observed to grow nervous and assume her gum shoes and waterproof.

None of the esseniial'feaitnres of the bill are to bo changed. The Committee on Foreign Relations had the Isthmus and Darien Canal Treaty ap this morn ing, bnt reached no conclusion.

Forty-first i;ongre>i»-FlrstSeesioh. Housk.— 'The House proceeded to consider the bill providing for taking the ninth and subse quent censuses. ! Mr. Garfield took tho floor ond explained and advocated the bill. Mr. Butler (Moss.) demanded that the bill be read. Tbe Bpeakcr remarked that if was quite un usual to have bills of its length read. Mr. Eldridge hoped it would be ruled ont of order to have printed bills read. The Speaker remarked that the hill had had Its first ond second readings. The bill was then read In fhlL Mr. Garfield said that the importance of A hUI on the eensnsconldnot bo overrated. He should, not have taken the floor bnt for the. request of the Chairman of the Census Committee (Hr. Stokes) hecause he (Mr. Garfield) had been chairman 'of that Committee last session. He reminded' the House ot tbe remarkable fact that the Constitution of the United Statee wns the only constitution of a modern govern ment that in itself provided for the manner of taking.tbe eenauß. They were living under a new dispensation of government, in which popntaUon was the gfeat sqnrce of wealth as well as of power. He believed the time was c lining when eveiy legislator mdst come fur nished with facts,not theories—come with a great array of facts exhibiting the wants, the wealth, the industry, the tendency and progress of the people for whom he proposes to legislate. If he came without them he wonld be unfit for his place. This was the age of statistics. Who' wonld doubt that the next cebßas Would reveal more imnortant troths concerning the situation of tbe people than any census had ever been taken before? In regard to representation, he expressed ole opinion that instead of the number of repre sentatives being a fixed number, the basis of rep resentation should be fixed. The Committee hod chosen as that basis one hundred and fifty thbu suLd. This wonld give for'the next’decade two handled and ninety members of the Honse, which. "Would-be an increase of twenty-seven. He believed that a population .of one hundred and; eighty-five thousand was ioo much for any one man to represent, and tbe result of the late war, aDd the personal relations in which a membor is now brought to his constituents, would render It impossible for any one to do faithfully and well all thednties of his station-for that number of population. In reply to a question by Mr. Law-; re ncc, he remarked that it was impossible to say , what the expense of the census would be. He knew that a million and a half of dollars had been expended tbe first year-in taking the, census of 1860, bnt he thought thin one would be more economical. ' ! Mr. Lawrenco suggested thot $5 per day was too much to be allowed enumerators, whose Ounce wonld not be of any higher order than those of mechanics. A smaller rate should be fixed, and the General Superintendent might be authorized to mike an additional allowance in large cities, States and Territories,where the com pensation fixed might be too small. Mr. Waehburne (Wls.), moved to postpone the tel] so as to take up some oi- the appropriation bills. Mr. Scofield moved to noßtpone it till the first Monday of December next. Tbe vote was taken on tbe latter motion, and it was not agreed to—yeas 65,nays 88—the Demo crats for tbe most part voting against postpone ment. The House then proceeded to consider the bill by sections, for amendment. Mr. Jenckcs moved'to strike ont everytblng.ro lating to subsequent censuses, ao that the hill should be a temporary matter, to be superseded by a bill to bo reported and acted on at the- neat session. The amendment was agreed to. ' Mr. Jenckcs moved to make the salary of the Superintendent of the Census 95,000 instead of $l,OOO. Rejected. Mr. Morrill (Me.) moved to reduce the, salary (o $O,OOO. Rejected. Cram Boston.
