was a Mnjo& by Pa lestrina.
•
I fancied, because so many travelers had left
Inane, that :there Nvojt Id be no crowd; hat I
found myself mistaken. The ()hum!' was well
filled. and the immemse piazza crowded
with carriages and people:
,titer - masts the Pope was carried on the
NAlia yesliatorla—the white feather fans,spotted
with peacock's eyes, On either side of hint—up
to the front portico of. the , ehureh,- which is
called the Clementine - portico. There His Hon..'
nem intoned the prayers 'which precede the
_fitteet.lictimb.afterzyvhiellAcjatame„,.. rniserl hig
arms to heaven, then thade three signs of the
eross, and chanted, in a high, powerful voice,
the Apostolical Blessing,
Et ten rclictio Dei tannipotenteY Pearls: et —Filet". et
Spiritus .Sanctity dryrendit yelper rex tt inaneat scalper."
I never saw or heard anything' so effective.
The prayers, responses of the clergy from the
body of the church, and the Benediction, rung .
out in the air in sonorous, vibrant tunes,. The
piazza of San Giovanni is immense, and the'
spectacle is far finer-than at St. Peter's. There
is nothing to obstruct the view; itls wtlimite d,l
and extends along the southwest, south and
southeast, from the Alban to the, Sabine hilts'; -
far around to Sortcte, whose solitary peak,
on Thursday, stood up golden in the midday
sun, and the snow on the distant Appenines
looked like far-off towers of some celestial city.
The eye ranges over the beautiful Campagna,
and the long lines of ancient aqueducts give a
boundless continuity to the landscape.
Smile distance off from the Piazza of St
John's, towartls.thsast, stands another old
basilica, St. Croce •in Gerusaletnrue,—St.
Helena's Church. Its foundations are built in
earth which was brought from the Holy Land
by the Empress mother of the great Constan
tine. Its beantifid campanile, of the thirteenth
century, lies picturesquely against the sky.
At the north side .of the Piazza of St. John.
of Lateran is the Scala Santa building, on the
outside of which—at its south end—is the Tri
bune or Absis, that contains a reproduction of
some grand old mosaics of the eighth century.
The mosaics formerly decorated a hall in the
old Palace of the Lateran, before it wai de
stroyed by tire (in Clement V.'s time,
1:m-16), known by the name of the Trielin
imn. This hall was built under Leo
who had it decorated (795-816). The original
building and mosaics Were; in course of thne,'
through injuries c . aused by workmen and fires,
so nearly destroyed that Benedict XIV., in
1743, while the walls were still standing, had
the Triclinium and its mosaics copiedexactly.'
There was au ancient design in the library of
the Vatican which enabled him to have it
done faithfully.
When I reached the Piazza of St. John on
Thursday at mid-day ,1 left the carriage, walked
in towards the steps of the Chureh,and stood on ,
a spot from whence I could see the grouping of •
the army, the .crowd on the Piazza, the steps
of the Triclinium, and the Church. - There
were carriages far and near; rows of benches,
and chairs, tilled With people, under the trees
to the right of the church; and petty venders
of fruit and wine, which last are to be found
in all Roman crowds—and, I must admit most
unwillingly, they give
,these,d2therwise „pic
turesque assemblages something 'the look of
one of: our Jersey trainings in olden times.
The military was grouped finely,for the PiaZza
is large enough to admit of a full display. ),
BeyOndthe Piazza to its right is the St. John
of Lateran Gate, the walls and the ancient
Porta Asinaria,with its two round brick towers
(now walled up), through which Belisarius
tered Borne, and also Totila.. To the leftof the
Piaiza is the south end of the Scala Sapta
building—the Triclinitun of which I spoke
above. On the vault, of this Triclinium the
mosaic .repre4ents the Apparition to the,
Eleven Apostles after the ResurrectiOn; all
the figures aro standing, our Lord hi, the
centre, with, a book in- one hand, the other
raiSed in .the act Of benediction. This Tri.
elinium or Absis, with its open vault, gives a
fine echo to any noise or speech proceeding
from St. John's, andon Ascension , Day the

• The Pope has gone to-day to 7astello, but re
! turiis to Rome this evening. Five of the Pope's
kinsfolk were in the city during the jubilee
festivals of the llth, 12th and 13th of April—
his nephew, Count Louis Mastal Ferretti, a
quiet old gentleman of sixty, and wife ; his
niece, a middle-aged lady, `, wife of a petty
country Count, her' husband and daughter.
The whole five lived on a furnished floor
which was hired for them by the Holy Father;
two carriages and the Vatican kitchen were at
their disposal for promenades. and repasts
tinguished kinsman - gave them 'beyond the
sacrament and beneeliction.
The Pope's two brothers, Count Gabiele
(father of Count Louis) and Count Gaetano,
live very simply at Sinigaglia, in the family
homestead. The Pope has neither ennobled
nor enriched any of them, and'it is said is not
Very well pleased with some of his family.
The Mastais have always been Liberals., and
One of them actually serves Victor Emmanuel
in some branch of the Italian Government.
Pius IX: himself, when he was Bishop of
Intokt, was so strongly suspected of liberalism
that the Government used to watch his com
ings and goings. Old Gregory XVI. made His
Holiness wait eight years for a Cardinal's hat,
and gave it to him most unwillingly. He used
to say : "The man is a Liberal; in the Mastai
family everybody—even the cats—is LibeMl."
The closing sensation of the week was the
attempted ascent of a balloon, yesterday after
noon. from the Villa Borghese, by an Ameri
can aeronaut—Mr.Welles. He made an ascent
some weeks ago, and he and his balloon were
blown off :about 40 miles north of Naples and
120 miles from Rome. As he made his ascent
without permission from the authorities, .Er.
Welles has met with some difficulty and delay
in obtaining consent to make a second one.
At last he obtained it, and yesterday the aihtir
came off at 5 o'clock P. M.
Seats in the liorghese Villa were tilled with
a pay audience, and the Pincian Hill was
~.•rowded with outsiders who'did not pay. The
balloon started, but, unluckily, got entangled
in the trees; the..gas escaped, and the poor
aeronaut Vame to grief. He showed so much
courage and spirit, bowevier, that the Borghese
audience cheered him, and when he at last de
.scended to terra firma, he met with the reeefi::
tion of a victor, and was escorted too — the gate
by an admiring crowd; but lo! there he met'
with the indignant crowd 'from the Piacian,
whp had paid no money and • had no sight.
They greeted. Mr. Welles with anything. but
applause, and the unlucky man would have re_
ceived rough handling, probably, if some of
his friends had not hustled him most inglori
ously into, a one-horse "trap." . Away they
drove the discomfitted aeronaut at the full
speed of a tired hack horse, and the hootino .
crowd of disappl dined outsiders followed - elose
behind.
We ,Lad just returned frinn a drive on the
Canipagna, - : and were watching from our
Windows the after-glOry of ,the sunset, and
looking at the immense crowd which surged
like sea in the Piazza di Spaina, poured in
torrents down the Spanish steps and out of the
Babuino, and flowed rapidly down the Vias
della Croce; Condotti Propaganda and due'
Marcelh. Suddenly out of the. Bahian() came
bumping along the sorry little trap and jaded
horae,with the ragamuffin train behind it. `We
hardly-knew wliitti to tkink . ; and watched the
droll race as far as - we could see. To-day we
heard the:account of the failure of the aeronaut
and the explanation of the one-horse Mil) race.

Molunetit of Americans and Europeans, stout

with miihearty good Will, that by three in the

before her appointed time, and to. our great

By the steamier City of Paris we have late
foreign exchanges, from which we clip the
following: • '
—The Queen of England is said .to have
written an 'autograph letter to the Emperor s
.Napoleon, thanking him for the attention
shown to the Prince and Princess of Wales
during their late stay in Paris.
—A shocking catastrophe is reported to
have occurred on Tuesday, the lSrle instant,
off the Shetland Islands, where eiglill7!en
were drowned by the capsizing of a boat.
The unfortunate men leave upwards of thirty
children destitute.
—The Paris Gaulois says that the Prince of
Wales,before leaving Paris, invited the Prince
Imperial to visit England, and that the Em
peror Napoleon accepted the invitation.
—A letter from Turkey says that some time
ago the Ottoman Bank received a kit of green
backs from an Anu•rican traveler, which were
sent to New York for negotiation. They have
been returned as' spurious and counterfeits,
and the bank is in for several thousand
dollars.
—The Pittslotion of Paris publishes an en
graving of a great spreading tree. near Cairo,
under which, according to tradition,
Joseph
and Mary and the infant Jesus took shelter
during the flight into Egypt. - The tree which
stands on ground belonging to the Istlimns of
Suei Canal Company, was marked to be cut
down, but the Empress Eugkiie has purchased
it standine . , and now pays a keeper to watch it.
—A. German Roman .Catholic newspaper,
the Deutsches Vollcsbleill, makes some rather use
ful announcements regarding certain new
plans on the subject of education, which, it
says, are just now in great favor in Rome.. It
is proposed, weare told, to establish Episcopal
special schools iii Germany for the education
of priests, add in this way, by putting it out of
their power to attend the University, to de
stroy the Catholic theological faculties in the
German Universities.
—TheTaiis 'correspondent of the London
Doily Net mentions that by way of precau
tion the guard at the Tuileries has been in
creased by 500 men, who sleep fully accoutred
and with their loaded Chassepots close at hand.
The troops, too, have been kept to their bar
racks.
—The frequency of fires in cotton mills in
this locality of late has, sass the Liverpool
Mercury, aroused a strong suspicion that many
of the conflagrations are the work of incendi
aries; and this feeling will he still further
