Twenty-four Years Popo—Pius the Ninth and Gregory the Sixteenth—Corpus Christi— Early Mass and a Grand Religi: Proces- siou—Council Debates and Epixco; reats—What Will Be Decl Rome, June 25, 1870. ‘Twenty-four years ago and over—on the 16th June, 1e46—Cardinal John Maria Mastal-Ferrett! was elected to the Popedom in place of Mauro Capel- lari, Gregory XVI., who was a poor baker’s boy at the age of twelve years, Pius IX. consequently commenced on the 17th inst. the twenty-fifth year of his reign. On the anniversary of his election to the tlara the Chureh celebrated the solemn feast, the most im- Portant in all Cathollc countries, of Corpus Christi, this year, More than ordinary excitement existed as the morning dawned and tne cannon of St. Angelo announced that to-day the great feast of the “Body of Christ” woutd be observed, and that twenty-four years ago Plus IX. was elected Pontiff-King. At half-past seven o’clock the Pope said low mass in the Sixtine chapel, and immediately thereafter the grandest procession of the Blessed Sacrament ever witnessed in Rome or elsewhere was in motion, ‘The cardinals, in fuil dress; four hundred and fifty bishops, with purple and cappa; priests, with jet black cassocks ‘and snow white surplices; monks and friars, booted and sandaled, gray, brown, white, blue and black, ad infinitum, St. Peter's was filled with people. ‘Tho walls of the Scala Regia were hung with the tapestry of gobelins; awnings of immense width covered the square and extended all the way of the Procession to the door of St. Peter's, the ground strewn, as is the custom, with green leaves; the chanting and most solemn music; but the recohection and absorbed devotional air of the Holy Father, as he held the Remonstrance contain- ing the Sacred Host, all contributed to render tiis observance of the festival intensely impressive, and More than ever, since its institution, explatory, eucharistic and edifying. The procession closed with benediction of the Holy Sacrament in St Peter's vy the Holy Father. HOW THE POPE LOOKED. As a matter of course all eyes were fixed on Plo Nono trom tue moment he appeared until he ended the ceremony vy giving the benediction, He looked as well, sung a8 weil, and waiked with as elastic a step on the twenty-fourth auniversary of his elec tion as at the commencement of lus long and mar- Veilous pontificate, A better preserved or finer looking 0.4 gentleman could not easily be found, and the Italians use more than ordinary emphasis when they say, ‘‘Yes, the Pope is good; good in all, and handsome.’ Few entertain towards him per- sonally auy but the kindest feclings. The great target of enmity 1s Antonelli, who 1s credited with all the disorders and misiortunes of the Pontifical ptates, THE COUNCIL. I informed you of the debate in the Counell on the Schema de Ecclesta being abruptly closed. ‘the Car- dinal President and teh infaliibilists acted a iittie too quick; the opposition soon made them ‘draw in thelr horns,” and the Pope found by the protest ho received that there were inen Wearing the mitre who Would not permit him nor any number of bishops to “gag”? them; that they came here to deliberate and vole on measures touching and relating to ihe Church, and that if they were not permitted to speak upon the matlers under consideration as the over bishops they would leave Rome and abide tae conse- quences of their action. Although the Pope may be said to have “infalli- billity on the brain,” and has bestowed the Apostolic Diessing ad libtium Ou all the learned pampiieteers who have written in favor of the same, he has too Much good sense and 1s too well versed in the customs gud traditions of the Church to do anything rashly. Fanatics like Archbishop Manning and the men of his school have a certain kind of influence here, but Pio Nono would rather have the Support of Bishop Dupanloup than ail the bishops in England, The rotest was considered and the privilege of address- fg the Council restored, and the zealous genuemen ‘were informed that a little iess zeal would be very ‘acceptadie, HOW WILL IT END? The question now is how will the matter of infalli- bility be settled? As the HeRaLp has furnished more guthentic news about the Council than any other journal printed in the English language tt will na- turally be presumed that it will tell how the absorb- ing question will be disposed of. Many persons Buppose that 1t will be passed by a majority vote, and the minority dare not oppose it once it is promulgated. No such thing will be done, nor was ever contemplated. The dogma ag advocated by Dr. Manning, Dechamps, and the Univers will not be’ adopted. ‘The Pope will have @ unanimous decree or none; of this be certain. Mf any prelate remains opposed to it, uninspired by the Holy Spirit, the Pope will wait until he be con- verted; but there will be no rushing the matter through, because the minority represent too much in- telligence and genuine Catholicism. The dogma, as reported from the committee who have.it in charge, ‘Wil bot be passed, and if itbe the opposition will not die out, but more than one venerable bishop will resign. But wiil the dogma be withdrawn tn toto from the Council? tt will not. Several members of both sides of the question have been deliberating during the past week, and the concluston, or, rather, re- commendation, of Archbishop Dechamps and Bishop Dupanioup seems to meet with approval, They have on @ project of a decree of papal infallibility Which takes away the odious ‘Se Solo” and resolves the Pope's Infaliibility into that of the Church of which he is the constituted organ—a tuing never de- nied. At present the indications are that thts comp: mise, if it can be so called, Will be effected. If it the Pope will be in the same place he was last No- vember, but, to save appearances, it wil! be neces- sary to inake 4 little {uss and send forth a long docn- ment 10 Latin. Once the “Se Solo” is expunged irom the schenia the whole affair dwindles tuto niente, THE IRISH POSITION. Somo of the Irish bishops have been making them- selves ridiculous, The per enntien Bishop of Cork called the congregation of his cathedral togetner a short time singe and delivered an address upon in- fallibility, and urged ali present to vote for the same, When the venerable bishop finished his recommen: @ation the “ayes” had if, or, as they say, it passed nemine coniradicente. Bishop Buller, of Limerick, fired with the great example of iis brother of Cork, has ‘presented the Pope with an address from his flock imploring the Pope to make limself infallible. The joke was too good to be lost; so the Pope communicated the subsiance of it to his Council a few days past, and of course there was a broad grin from one end of the table to the other. The object of all these Nonsensical addresses ix to receive a Jetter from the Pope conveying the Apostolic blessing, $0 that When the Bishop returns fie’ll have something good to show his people, AMERICAN PRELATRS. Bishops MacKennon, Sweeney and McIntyre, of Canada, have left for home. Archbishops Purceil gud McCloskey will leave Brest in the latter part of July for New York. FRANCE AND JERUSALEM.

Cortes Session Al ters Bound for Home—Political and Royal- iat Parties—The People—What is Said of the Revolution—Against the French—No Progress at Home. Maprip, June 2%, 1870, Congress 1s about to be closed, and the Padres de la Patria (‘Fathers of the Country”) are already packing up for their return home to the provinces te give account of their slewardships to thelr con- stituents—some to boast or what they have done, others to excuse themselves for what they have not done, Few, inceed, can boast of having adhered to their programme—some having been bribed by appointments, others by promises and the majority of the remainder by the hopes of obtaining pro- mises, Thus it 1s that goverament have generally carried all before them, done what they pleased, got evil measures passed and worse conduct ap- proved, So it is they can venture to laugh at the complaints made by the nation through the press, and Rivero, puffed up with pride, can rise in Congress and challenge the country to arms if the people dare, threatening to exterminate the republicans from the face of the earth if they atiempt to move. The republican party is not the only one Rivero and his colleagues have to fear; there are other parties even more eager to take the field and wait but the opportunity. The Carlists are daily gatning ground; they have powerful agents in the ctergy, wio have still sach influence over the people. This party nas on more than one occaston offered to support the repubil- cans, The Isabella and Alfonsisia parties are still strong, and especially so in the army. The people are wearied of the long interregnum; they want something at least with the appearance of stabiltiy to be established, whether monarchy or repubtic, and, as a body, I really believe they don’t care which. The other day @ general tola me that he considered the republic Inevitable, but not just now; the people were not prepared for it. It is, therefore, @ question whether it is a wise polley to walt till the people are suMciently educated or establish tt and educate the people. In the meantime the royalists are gradually but surely ruining the little good that has been done by the revolution of 1868, and are growing stronger every day. The people are already beginning to consider the revolution a fallure, a cheat, They were promised that the result of the revolution should be the imme- diaie abolition of slavery, the suppression of the Conscription act, a mild and liberal government and an economical administration. None of such pro- mises have been realized, notwithstanding it is nearly two years since the revolution was effectea, On the contrary, every possible obstacle is tarown inthe way to preven’ any liberal measure being adopted, and this will last so long as 140 Deputies ate holding civil appointments, How can they do otherwise than vote with the government? How can they be otherwise than slaves to the govern- memt? They aro bribed by the prospect of incre; they cannot act in conformity with the dictates or their consciences for fear of losing their appoint- ments, What minorily can hope to pass a bill with such odds agatast them? Noue whatever, Aud thus it is that Rivero can vaunt of his power. It ts, however, impossible that such a state of affairs can last long, and I doubt much that the next two months will pass without some attempt be- ing made ab least to upset the present government, if not to change the whoie égime. The term ‘galvanized corpse,’ 50 often applied to the Carlsts, has been tansferred to Montpensier since the successfal motton of Seior Rajo Arias, touching the electioy of a& monaren, Montpenster’s agents, however, are indetatlgabie in their endeavors to make hiin a man of the people's liking, or, rather, make the people profess they Itke the man, Heis French, and, conscuuently, hatefui to the people; besides which he has shown too much desire to grasp the sceptre. His only chance was at the battle of Alcoles, at the moment When the tide of events change eople required a change to the person, provided that Lately a great nomber of pet tions tn favor of his being elected have beeu presented by diterent Depu- ties,” The petitions have long lists of signatures; bul what does tt ail amount tof Next to nothing.

Others say, “Lam glad to see the progress Mont- pensier ts making, for it is oniy when there is a chance of his being King that the country will wake up from their long siesta, And it turned out to be true; for he was aimost certain of being elected, Rajo arias brought forward his famous bul! that dashed his brightest prospects to the ground and destroyed the Chateaux en EKspague fe had been so long buliding and so fondly contemplating.

Cruz Ochoa (Caritst) attacked the government for the harsi and illegal measures adopted by some of the civil governors in closing Curlists’ clubs, and hanied the government over the coals for not adopt+ ing severe Ineasures to suppress a secret soclety styled ‘‘Partida de la Porra,” stating that, not con- tent with attacking different bureaus of opposition papers, 1b had commenced tts attacks on ciubs and casinos, He said that if the goverament did not support these bands of invaders they connived at their proceedings by not adopting the proper mea- sures to put astop to it, Figueras interpellated the government respecting the suppression of re- publican Town Councils during the late dis- turbances in the province of Barcelona, ana d manded the reposition of the former municipal cor- rations.

Berthemy, who is desirous to return at once to France; but after presenting his credentials he proposes to make @ short sojourn at Newport, in order, among other motives, to give his young and lovely danghter an opportunity to see something of our fastionable life at one of our most aristocratic watering places. Politics, like everything else, seem to have dried up under the effect of this long spell of dry weather, that 1s now becoming a topic of unasual interest, It is stated that twice during this century France bas been visited by excessive drought—namely, in 1808 and 10 1840—but Uiat this season has surpassed them both in extreme dryness. From all parts of the country come outertes of the damage to every kind of crops, and all Ways and means of relief are being devised to diminish the extent of the evil. Paris is get ting on well enough so far, though the price of bread and provisions generally is augmenting; but seri- ous dread of @ lack of water begins to be entertained, and already the necessity of economizing in every pos- sible way 18 almitted. There is a talk of boring for ar- tesian wells, and yesterday a proposition for funds for that purpose was laid before the Unamber. There 1s no doubt the wheat and hay crops have already suf- fered so severely that large importations will be ne- cessary, aud as this involves a large outlay of gold the effect on the Freuch money market cannot fail to be very detrimental. The Bourse or Stock Ex, change is begmolag to exhibit indications of coming trouble; for there have been several serious falis tn the value of all kinds of securities, and the attempts to effect a revival have only been partial and short-lived. Well, nations, like individuals, can- not expect to be always prosperous, and France has of late years enjoyed so large a share of good fortane that she ought to meet any vicissitudes that may be 1” store with composure and patience. She is rich enough to endure very considerable losses without falling to the condition of privation, not say penury, that were not uncommon in her history bys the last previous centuries. pape of drought and high prices there is still a talk of going on with the improvements of Paris, which Were arrested by the downfail of the re- nowned Haussmann, Several new streets were begun under his reiga that are left mcomplete, and it is desirable to carry them through, both for conyenl- ence as well as beanty. Fitherto great tmpedt- ment has been to provide the requisite funds, for so much had been already expended on these gigantic schemes of municipal reconstruction that public opinion — denfurre Joudiy at any further out- lay. Still, it is considered that some two or three of these new streets will be advantageous to Paris; that tv is quite worth witile to go on and fintsh them, and therefore the Chamber of Deputies, which now holds the purse strings, has decided through its committee to whom the maiter was referred to perout another municipal loan of 520,000,000 francs ($104,000,000), which is regarded as sitfMcient for the purpose. There is every prospect, then, of the a nue Napoleon, which will run irom wh ew opera house across to the Place de Palais Royal, nearly a mile in length, bemg completed ta the course of another year, Ithas veen opened aud balt up at both ends for @ shore distance, and promises | to be one of the noblest thoroughiares of Parla for its commanding width and 1 Bplendia character of {ts bulldings. It will out throug one of the oldest and densest parts of Parts, and transform an ugly and wir alubrious quarter Into one of the finest promenades of the eapital. How long will it be before New York raises up another Haussmann? 1s high ticte, as the HERALD suggests, that those hideous evesores, the old wooden docks and piers, should be swept away and that spacious and elegant quays of granite should be erected in thew places, such as we Coulemplate with admiration in London, Paris, St. Petersburg and tle other great bas of Europe. t would be some satisfaction to the tax-ridden community of New York if t coud see some such solid and beneficial returns for their money as the improvements tn question. Cun it be that a democratic municipality is unable to accomplish the same use‘ul and splendid resuits inthe orna- mentation of great citles that we behold tn all the capitais of monarchical Europe? There is tittle doubt that the taxation of New York is nearly equal to some and greater than in most of the chief cities of Europe—with due relerence to rope ee what in the way of grand public edifices and lighways has New York to boast off It would be a good plan to revive the old Reman institution of the ediles, and select some of our leading citizens of known energy and taste lo be specially charged with the task of improving and beautifying the great metropoils of America. We have had some corious and piquant statiatics lately published in Paris on the subject of um mony, You know that in France, a3 in all Catholle countries, divorce is next to tun; ible; but what is aliowed in ileu of tt is a separation, de corps et de biens-—that 18, literally, of body and goos. This can only be obtained by an application to the regular legal tribunal, where the reasons for the demand are Investigated and decided on according to their merits. One singular fact has become very promi- nent as to these separations in France, an that is that they have greatly increased of late years. With- in the last ten years it appears that they have trebied, and increased tenfold if we stretch the calea- lation over a period of thirty years. The progression 18 steady from year to year, Im 1808 ihe number of applications for judicial separation was 3,000, of which somewhat more than one-half is set down to the account of Paris alone, ‘The other great towns, Bordeaux, Lyons, Marseilles, &c., follow in the wake of the capital. It is thus apparent that conjugal contentment is far rarer tn the citles than in the country, for scarcely any of these applications for relief from the burdeus of wedlock come from the rural population. Not only are they confined to the towns, but, What seeins stranger still, they nearly all proceed from the working class. Of the 3,000 cases alluded toin waich t arriage boad bas been found too heavy, 1,258 belong to the artisans class, This 1s ceriainiy a novel feature. In former times the expenses of litigatton were sufMicient to deter the laboring class from any attempts to modilty their conjugal coudition, but recent legislation has placed legal assistance within reach of the neediest, Another fact as remarkable as the rest that 1s gathered from these interesting statistics is that the women, by an immense majority, constitute the lst of complainants, In 2,683 cases out of the 3,000 above mentioned it was the wife who asked for the separation, while the husband opposed the demand, and in the remaining cases, where the husband was the complainant, the wife offered no opposition. Who can solve at all conclusively tnis incredible amount of feminine dissatisfaction with thelr conju- gal state? Are married men of the French working class really greater brutes than other men of the same class in other countries, or are the women of ‘this class become of late years so infected with the prevalent mania of “sirlkes’’ that they have been seized with the irresistible desire to strike also against their lords and masters’ There must be some cause for these odd resuits, but 1 can’t stop now to hunt it ap. ~ Here {s still another strange circumstance, In | the one year I am quoting from (1868) twenty-four separations were asked for after more than forty years of wedlock, exactly the same number that were demanded after one year of marriage. The iatter can easily be ex- plained, but how can the former be at ail under- stood? One would suppose that forty years would reconcile even a couple of hyenas to 1 together for the rest of their short term. Worse still, three oe out of the above list thought 1t worth their wiule atter half 9 century of married life to make an effort to regain their itberty. {t is equally wonder- ful what kept these peopie together so long as that they should make up their minds to separate at last. It would seem that what is usually considered a bind- ing force—the fact of ehiidren—had no effect iu ihe cases Lam now quoting, for tt appears tira two out of every three of these Lil-assorted couples hadchildren, Here is certainly matter for reflec. | tion for the inoralists of the present day; but of all | this “strange, eventful history,” I think the conclu. | sign the most positive that can be drawn 1s that working Claas of {he French towus is tu a really | oralized condition generally. ‘The meu eer (0 live In normal state of rebellion | and disorder—at one time combining in “strtkes’? to | fight heir employers, ane at anotuer conspiring to- | gether to overturn tha xovernment. — It 18 pretty evie dent that these worthiws of the leather apron, who are all the time making such an outery for more Ireedom and less work, are none the tess tyraunical and brutal in ther homes, else such a phenomenon as 2,083 cases out Of 3.000 of application for separa- Mon on the part of their wives would be wholly im- possible, RUSSIA.

Sr. PETERSBURG, June 20, 1870, There is not at present in the Eastern World a Power interested in such @ variety of great ques- tons a8 Russia, occupying as she does large por- tions of both Europe and Asia. She cannot look with Indifference on any event of importance taking place on either of these divisions of the earth, The immense influence which the Russian nation now exercises and must in future exercise to a sill higher degree 1s a fact recognized by all. Of the na- ture of this Influence, however, there Is a great diver- sity of opinion, resulting partiy from feelings of rivalry and partly from a remarkable ignorance of the history, the soctal structure aud the legitimate alms of this wide-extended empire, To an Amert- can student Russla presents an exceedingly inte- resting fleld of study, whether the country be con- immoral and degrading. Its very name was & by- word, It included Riel highway, Tiger Bay, Mansell street and the Minories, with all the courts and alleys; Posner lane, Back lane, East Smith- Held and the adjacent purheus which were the most deusely populated of any district in London, and by the very poorest of residents, Some of the men Were hard working, more were thieves; and while many of the women—Goa help them!—were hard working and honest mothers of chiiaren, by far the Jarger porportion were thieves, The children were Weakly and sick, They had the gutter for a playground and ‘the gin palace for @ school. nto this moral pest howse—this moral fever den— about four years ago, went Father Ring, a Roman Catholic priest, accompanied by & band of devoted brothers.
