The above is a portrait of Pope Pius IX (the Cardinal Mastai Ferretti), whose election to the vacant Popedom took place on the 17th June, on the fourth day’s sony a thing unknown for the last two centuries; as, in general, the intrigues of the various parties retard, f>r aconsiderable period, a final choice; but the political state of tne Legations is such that it was absolutely necessay a hasty choice should be made, lest events should occur which might retard unseasonably or altogether prevent it. The Sacred College is composed of sixty-seven Cardinals, fifty-tour of whom only were present in the late conclave, and the majority by which the Pope was chosen consisted of thirty-nine, being six votes more than legal right required. Theother candidate in whose favour the wishes of the conclave, as they were of the whole people, were supposed to be directed, was the Cardinal Gizzi ; but it appears that the Cardinal is of the liberal school of potities, and that his brethern suppaved he would go too far. He is also said to be a man of talentand great decision of character, and allshistory proves that such a Pope is not the person likely to please the Sacred College. sa. Pope Pius IX was born in_1792, at Sinigaglia, near Ancona. He served for some time in the Garde Noble, a body guard of the Pope, and, in that capacity, attracted the notice of Pius VII. His health was delicate, and he became subject to epileptic fits, and by the advice of Pius VII, he gave up the sword for the cassock; and, having distinguished himself in ecclesiastical studies, was raised to the Priesthood in the regular order of time. He was sent as a missionary to Chili, where he was prominent for zeal and ability; but in consequence a ey events of that country, he returned to Rome, and was made a Cardinal by his patron, Pope Pius VI, as a reward for his services and sufferings. He was presented with the Bishoprit of Spoleto, and subsequently of Imola, inthe Ro- magna, where he was looked upon with reverence and esteem as an excellent clergymen and a doer of good works; and it is thought that one of the reasons of his now being selected by the Sacred Col- lege is for his practical knowledge of the Romagna, and of his being best calculated to find the due remedy for the political effervescence which has so long prevailedin that part of the territory of the holy see. The Pope being a native of the Roman state isa strong recommendation to the people, and, as he contrived to live on good terms with them as Bishop 0: Im la, itis hoped that he will, as Supreme Pontiff, be able to control them. The nomination of the Pope is therefore popular, as it is believed to be judicious on the part of the Sacred College, though, as far as the Liberals are con- cerned, both in Rome and in the provinces, the choice of Cardinal Giazi would have been more en- thusiastically received.
