Pope 'Pins The acts of this distinguished Pontiff are claim ing the attention of the whole civilized world; to •an extent far beyond those of any other monarch; and Rome is now becoming a point of observation, and of interest, more remarkable, than any city of Europe, if not of the world. Nor is this to ve wondered at, when we recollect that, from being the a mistress of the world "—whence emanated all• that was wonderful, or grand, or beautiful in art; all that was great in intellect; all that was I splendid in appearance, and nearly all that was desirable in possession,—from being the fount whence sprung the choicest streams of literature; the purest offerings of patriotism ; the most ardent manifestations of human love ; -H-whence came the most renowned of statesmen add of warriors; the most brilliant architects and artists—she had be come "as the desert, where we steer "Stumbling o'er recollections ;" • • • where a The double - night of ages,• and of her, "Night's daughter, ignorance, 11,3 th wrap and wrap i•All round us." • ; • • • ,"SHE who was named eternal, and array'd "Her warriors but to conquer,—she who reil'd "Earth With her haughty shadow," • • • • " • • • • * She who was almighty hail'd l" Thus, when it is remembered what Rome once vsakand what she had become—the world turns to look upon the present state of the affairs of the "lone'mother of dead empires;" and is naturally led to wonder what will be her course in years to come. Since the accession of Pays IX., many circum stances have transpired, calculated to excite an especial degree of interest, in the minds of our countrymen, in the affairs of Rome. For many years past, the political tendencies in all the States , of Italy have been decidedly republican ; and al % though much of‘tyranny and treachery has been endured and practised, the march of liberty ap pears to have been slowly onward. Pius IX. has, however, given to the cause of liberty and human improvement, an impetus which will not, we think, be overcome. He has released all from bondage who were in confinement for political offences; he has manifested a truly liberal spirit in relation to the expression of opinion on political affairs; he has shown a wonderful degree of concern for the interests .of his people, by enquiring into the cau ses of their grievances, and at once overcoming them, if practicable;_ he has opened the way for more. extended and intimate connections with oth. _ er nations . ; and, in all respects, (so far as we can yet form an opinion of him,) has shown himself to be a man, a statesman, and a true philanthro „ . piat. ;Having expanded and enlightened views, which would elevate the character of a statesman in any'country, he seems, also, to possess that firm ; mess and true courage, which on :e made the name of'Romact the proudest upon earth. As friends of . liberal principles; as humble laborers in the work of advancing human liberty; from our inmost soul werwisk bins that encouragement and success, which ever ought to follow the effort to do good ; and in the expression of this hope, we have no doubt we shall be joined by every man, of liberal mind and enlightened understanding, to whatever religious denominatiou he may belong. There is one point, however, in relation to the course of the new pontiff, which appears to us to . be misunderstood; or, if not, great injustice is de signedly done ham. This is in relation to impris: onmentsi said to have been made on account of re ligious offences. It is said that a number of priests and bishopa.were imprisoned under his predecessor; that these men are still in prison ; that he is aware of the circumstances which led to their incarcera. tion;:and that, until they shall- be released, we are offered but a poor evidence of his liberality or his benevolence, no matter what other acts, of a po litical character, he may sanction. These are among the statements and conclusions made by b a portion - of:the religious press 'of our country which manifest a lack of gravid political acumen, and are calculated, as we think, to do injustice to a man, who we look upon as one of the greatest men of the world—truly great, because of the in fluence against which he hai to contend; the true courage which he has, manifested in carrying out his plans; his profound' sense of regard for the 'best interests of the people; and the radical changes which he has made, and is continuing to make, in affairs affecting tliem It should be remembered, bit those - who thus censure Pius LX., that he is the head,..of a religious, as well as a political govern menfp that the. religious administration of his g ov ernmeut. is:.thainly carried out—iadeed almost en tirely4Y others; that these exert an influence, which all his regal power could not overcome, it estranged from, or brought to operate against him; • SHI Ein WAS -. ~: EOM ENE '.o::-. -, :•' : :, - : ; :f?1:-.1 , '. : .tr-if, ,1 ERNE . . . , ~ , A ~..• ~., _` , ' , , , •,,i,.4 -, ... ..- •..

In his pa. per of yesterday, he says :!.—" Congress has given the Executive the amplest! power to prosecute the war with vigor, and yet, With men ready to volun teer everywhere, and power to keep 75,000 men in service, besides the Naval force, nothing is done rn an efficient manner." We do not know where •the President will find his authority for " keeping ; 75,000 men in service;" but as the Gazette never tells any thing but the truth I (?) we must take it for granted that it is so. However, we think that a man, or a party, who condemns " an unrighteous act," ought to be among the last so say one word in condemnation of the inr&cient manner of its performance. A very natural supposition is, that a moral and reli gious man would wish to see" an unrighteous act " performed, (if done at all.) in the least efficient manner possible. But there is no inconsistency in this; for federal editors, like common scolds, must grumble about every democratic measure. It is natural with them ; and the People du not seem to mind them much. If an unquestionably good deed is done, they find fault *because it was not better done; and when an error is committed, they get mad, and grumble, because the error itself is not of much importance. Perhaps it is necessary in the economy of Divine Wisdom, that discord ant elements should occasionally be corn uined, in such a manner as to give existence to a Federal editor. cO•For specimens of "all the talents, all the decency," and appeals to the reason and intelligence of the People, read the Gazette of yesterday—arti cles " Wilmot Proviso,"—" Politics in the Army," —" Gov. Shunk's charity,"-- &c. &c. However, as we have brought oar neighbor to the acknowl edgment of one of his many sins, and have some reason to hope he may yet become a thoroughly reformed man, we will stand by him to the last : even if he should get " a commission" to command our forces in Mexico. We are determined not to leave him. " Whither thou goest, we will go !" Do try and get that commission, neighbor! We would so love to fight the Mexicans on their own soil, with you as our commander! It would be much more desirable than fighting their apologists at home! New York State Democratic Convention.

They should remem ber that there can be no freedom of religion, ex cept where there is true civil liberty; that the po litician must pave the way for'the priest because 'the wisdom of . ProVidence has wisely decreed, that intelligence and pOlitical freedom cannot exist where religious bigotry and intolerance prevail. We therefore think. it extremely unjust, in-the professed supporter? of religious equality in our 1 Wintry, to. censtire the present, Pope for having 'riled to do what seine may sincerely wish' to see accomplished, and What he may be as anxious to attempt as any of Ilion who condemn him. His position, as we have intimated, is a most respon sible, a most .critical one. Surrounded by the 'most uncompromising opponents of civil liberty,— his administration in the hands of those who ever look with jealousy ](of.whatever sect,) upon any attempt to circumscribe the sphere of their influ ence, or to curtail their power;—with the 'watch ful emissaries of other powers, equally jealous, all around him ;--4can it be expected that he would take the step, of all others most hazardous, which some zealots recomthend; when the taking of it may at once crush all hopes of a healthful politi cal reformation. which, must bring with it the overthrow of all religious abuses? We say that no true philanthropist will, for a moment, seriously recommend such a step, or find fault with him be cause he does not take it. 1 his is a chatter somewhat beyond the sphere of our duties as conductors of a newspapqr--it is a matter not pertaining to our government but , as those who rejoice in every step which is made tot - flake man-a more responsible being, and to ex tend the,circle of his usefulness and happiness, we think It not amiss to say something on the subject. We say it, with a view to condemn the plans of, those who do not see that any thing is right, or good, or praiseworthy, unless done as they would have it done; and to encourage those who believe that a great work will yet be done, in a quarter where so many have looked with poignant regret, when connected with the remembrance of what Rome once was.

In consequence of several arbitrary arrests of ceded by order and under the eyes of the Heredi tary Prince, the population of Lures rose tumult uously on the first instant. The Hereditary Prince, is married to the daughter of the Duchess de Berry. The Prince having departed for the Summer resi dence;of the Duke of Lucca, at San Martino, a body of 5,000 to 6,000 men proceeded in the sane direction, and meeting his carriage, pelted it with stones. The rising having assumed a dangerous aspect, the Ministers of the Duke strongly insisted on his giving some satisfaction to public opinion, declaring, in case of a refusal, that they would resign their posts. The Duke acceded to theirwishes,and issued a proclamation, instituting the Civic Guard. and pledging himself to adopt the improvements contemplated by their neighbors in Tuscany. This calmed the popular agitation, and the per. sons arrested were set at liberty; in the evening a solemn Te Drum was sung in the cathedral, and the town was illiiminated. Insurrectionary move ments alto took place on the 3rd inst., at Messina and Reggio in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.— I These disturbances, however, were productive of Ino serious results, two regiments of infantry hay ing been sufficient to suppress them Reinforce , ments had been sent to Sicily. Letters of the 3rd I instant, state that on the 2nd the Duke, Recoil)... panied by his son, made entry into that city amid 1 the acclamations of the people, who had flocked thither in multitudes from the neighboring towns and States to congratulate him on his accession to the cause of Reform. The Prince issued, on the same day, a decree of amnesty, and ordered all prosecutions instituted against political offenders to be suspended. • Death of the Oman —At the anual meeting of the Association of Am. Geologists and Naturalists sitting in Boston, Commander Wilkes, U. S. N., made a communication upon the subject of the' depth and the saltness of the ocean. The max imum depth has never been attained. Capt. Ross sounded 4600 fathoms, about 27,000 feet, and got no bottom.—There are great difficulties attending deep sea soundings. Bottom has been obtained in 2,000 or 3,000 fathoms. Experiments show that the great valleys of the ocean run at . right angles to the ranges near our coast. The basins of the Southern hemisphere dip and rise alternately from the equator towards the pole, causing very unequal depths of water. Capt. Wilkes hoped that some I, means would yet be discovered to sound by the means of the explosion of a shell. The mean temperature of the ocean is 39,5—in latitude from 54 to 60 South, the temperature is the same at the top and bottom. lit has been as serted, as the result of experiments, that the mean temperature of the .Mediterreanean is 52 degrees. Experiments were made by Captain Wilkes up on the penetration of solar light. A pot painted white was let down into the water, and the point', of invisibility marked—upon taking it out, the point of visibility was marked, and the two were found to vary but a fathom or two. In water at 36 degrees the pot disappeared at six fathoms—in water at 76 degrees, at thirty fathoms—in the Gulf Stream, at twenty seven fathoms—just outside of it, at twenty-three fathoms. Price of Kisses from Countesses.—The recently deceased miser millionaire, the Marquis d'Aligre, was called upon one morning by the beautiful Countess de C— with a subscripticn paper for the sufferers by the recent inundations. " I call upon you, Monsieur le Marquis," she said, with her delightful smile, " in favor of the sufferers of the Loire, and I must open my battery upon your heart." "Upon my purse, you mean to say, Mad ame," replied the Marquis; " but which ever it be, I capitulate—and npw for conditions. How many pieces like this, (showing a gold piece) do you demand for a kiss ?" Ile Countess looked up at his wrinkled face, as if to" count the cost, and gravely replied, "for fifty like that I will give you 1Wo." One would have better contented the Mar quis, but he stepped to his bureau and brought the purchase money—for twice as much as he asked for—receiving upon his bald forehead, as he bow ed to put the money into her hand, the soft corn modifies, valued at twenty-five Napoleons each. (cy The correspndent of the Baltimore Sun writing from the ci o ty of Washington under date of the 4th instant, says : "I regret exceedingly to learn that, on yesterday afternoon, as the Rev. Samuel MuHedy, President of the Georgetown College. and Rev. Mr. Belle, of the College, were riding in a buggy, near the turn pike gate, the horse suddenly took fright and ran off. Mr. Muflatly was thrown out and seriously injured, by having his collar-bone broken, and re ceiving several severe bruises. He was conducted to the parsonage of the Rev. Mr. Van Horseigh, oc Capital Hilt." (j• The Telegraph says that a boy was killed on Saturdarlast, near Sharpsburgh by the caving in of a sand bank. TUSCANY. On the 4th instant, popular demonstrations hay. ing reached a great bight, the Grand Duke Leop3ld 11. was compelled to issue a decree erecting the Civic Guard; and a general feeling has spread throughout Italy so as completely to put an end to all filar of Austrian encroachment, while the cause of progress would be promoted in almost all the Italian States.

Geor 'glen° with Flour.—The American vessel Georgi . ana, Capt. Wilson, which arrived 'at,Du blip a short time since, is now discharging her cargo The vessel was chartered by the Toronto Relief Com mittee, to bring over flour from that benevolent-to ' ciety for tfin'Telief of the destitute Irish. Slit has brought 2,000 bbls. of Flour, 8 bbls. of Peas, and 3 casks of Meal. The breadstuffs, already receiv. ed from the generous people of America, were from Indian Corn. The present cargo is made from the-best Wheat, and the Flour is of the first quality. Many a " Gott bless the Americans," was uttered by the spectators, who witnessed her unloading. • _ . „ - - Fine,7Betyreen 1:;2 ;mist o'clock, on The i rsday morning our firemen aroused by an; alarria : and iit:ahOit time it •Nvas ;discovered ttiat there was a fire on Holmes Hill - 'A &Welling, house, which butwaliort time ago 1.%-as purchased by H. Sprool;was entirely ciansumed.•;" We heard a fireman say:that a stable was also burnt. It is certain that:the building was fired by some mall. cious scoundrel ; as there bad been no fire in or near it for some months. Mr. Sproul had just got it ready for his family, and was preparing to move into it. It will be well for the - safety_ of the city propirty; generally if the incendiary could be' caught and punished._ Arson is a crime that mostly escapes the' penalty• of the law; why, we cannot tell. , the Police,. ; the night - watch particu larly, should be on the alert for such offenders. It is more important that the-community should be rid of them than of drunkards and vagrants, WANT OF W4TEU.—Had die night been dry and windy, instead of wet and calm, the fire which destroyed Mr. Sprout's property in the 7th ward might have been very destructive to the neighbor hood, on account of the want of water. The Or dinance to extend that great element of health,' cleanliness and protection, good hydrant water, over the upper wards of the city, has passed the Select Council, and is yet to be acted upon in the Common Council,but we greatly fear itwill belost in this branch by the influence of - certain wealthy bond holders, who have resisted its pas"o4eVery - step. We cannot see:the policioVbeifoWing all the comforts on-the hody, and leaving - the extrem ities bare and unprotected. While Allegheny is about supplyin g the good people there .with water, we hope our Zrty will not be behind•hand in extending its blessings to all her people. A ROUT AND Ay ExciremENT.—The Alle gheny City Constables must be a very ungallant, uncivil and unmerciful gang of felloWs. They perform the most harsh actions without respect to persons. So we are infortsied ; and as evidence of the fact, we are told that some of them emptied a house, on the north Commons, yesterday, of all' its stock—chair; beds, pots, pokers, women and, babies! The inanimate articles they piled on the .pavement; and the animate were seen to cluster; around the door, keeping watch over their " little all," while some trusty agents were on the look out for another shelter. To make a long story short, the ladies who dwelt within the habitation referred to, would not, or could not, pay the rent; and the landlord came to the conclusion that they must go; and the constables were called upon to enforce the provisions of the law; which they did unhesitatingly. The whole city *a in ex citement—men stared, boys ran, and the women looked out of the windows. CCU The Theatre has been very well attended during the week, although the weather has been .unfavorable, and the bills no more attractive than a judicious selection of plays and good stock ac tors could make them. John Dunn's Drama "Joe the" Orphan" has been well received. On Thursday evening, Mr. Oxley personated that difficult char acter of Virginius. We did not see him, but those who did were warm in the praise of his style.— Mass Anna Malvina appears to sustain herself as a dancer, not.vithstandidg the performances of Blangy and her corps. She had a fair audience last evening, on the occasion of her benefit. Nosracxsz.—The clamor against the nightly proceedings in the Market Houses. The sensibili. ties of some very rich persons may be wounded; . but we believe a majority of our citizens are will ing that those who choose to address audiences I that assemble in such places may have the privi lege of speaking. We go for freedom of speech; and the practice of preaching in Market places is both ancient and common. We are not so destruc tive in our ideas, as to wish the system abolished by ordinance. DEATII or AN Acron.—We observe by Cincin natia papers, that Mr. Morris, an actor of some celebrity, who is well known in this city,fell dead, on Monday, while studying the part of Adrastus in lon, which he was to appear on that evening at the National Theatre. The cause of Efis sudden death is not noticed. Arrastersn Suicros.=-06 Tuesday last, an unfortunate wretch, who has been sunk deep in degradation, and disgraced by liquor, attempted to destroy himself. He was found by a neighbor, lying upon a bed, with his suspenders so affixed' around his neck, as to cause strangulation. He had evidently been in the posture for some time, as his face was black from the effects of his a tempt. He lives in the - third ward, Allegheny, T. sseaovrpro.--On Wednesday morning, there were but two cases in fhe Tombs, and but 'three yesterday morning. As the winter approaches, the morals or the city appear to improve. The information for assaults and batteries, are not quite so frequent as a month ago "R stiotoN."—A fellow was thrashed the other day, for having a libel upon a neighbor published in one of the Morning papers. As soon as he could, he ran for dear life. When asked why he did not fight, he said,.• belong to church, and do not believe in fighting." But he could lie and at tempt to injure a neighbor. What congregation permits such people to worship with them? R. .AIN.—We have had rain, and nothing else, for :he last forty-eight hours. What big rivers we shall be blessed with soon. We saw a coal boat man dance a jig yesterday, as the water came down from above. Should he sink his boats he will dance again. The. Chronicle of yesterday; contained an inter. resting letter from Captain R. Porter' to his father We quote the fallowing: Sue A01:1137117E September 4th 1847. The Ist Pennsylvania Regiment is in garrison; four companies at Perote under Colonel Wynkoop, and six at Puebla under Colonel Black. Aly opinion of the salubrity of this climate is far from being favorable, and I am sorry that the " oranges" are poetical creations.—Few volunteers have seen them. The company I command numbers torty-five men, rank and file, and is one of the largest in the Regiment. Lieuts. Rankin Kane and Skelly, and Sergeants McCann, Murphy, Dougherty and Nich olson, are all well, and also Edward Smith, John D. Mahon, Larkin, Solomon O'Brien, and Joseph Burke.
