PIO NINO. The Twenty-fifih Anniversary of the Pontificate. SKETCH OF THE CAREER OF PIUS IX. Celebration of the Jubilee in the Metro- polis ard Elsewhere. ‘The celebration yesterday in this city of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Pius the Ninth’s reign | proved to be a much larger and more enthusiastic | femonstratton than people were led to expect. | Its unlooked for extent and spontaniety gave tall | the greater significance 1the greater indication | | | that the Catholic heart was stirred to its pro- foundest deptus of sympathy, of pity, of love for the venerable Pout! at Rone, who years has worn the white dower of a blameless lie And preserved through ali the vicissitudes of earthly fortune the same serene look of almost divine benevolence, the samme cabin spirit of wast in | (od, the suine wavering solicitude for the ever- Jasting welfare of ais flee: There was comparatively li\tle preparation for the ‘great display, but it was easy to see that what wa Jacking in forethought was abundantly made up forin earnestness and enthvelasm. The churches through. out the city hel} services of a more or lesa elaborate character at ether a late or carly period of the day. | I some high mass constituted tne leading ce mony; in others benediction and pulpit preachin and again in many more processions of menand | boys with banners made a feature of joyful and impressive show, In one street on the cast side of town occupied principally by our German fellow citizens block alter bi of hot on borh sides ‘Was literally enveloped tn fags, streamers and ever- greens, until noiling showed from cellar to atte along the tail tene t fronts but bright, wavy bunting and plaited green leaves in endle: toons, Amv ailthis display a pious Catholic hand laid here and tbere over leaves and streamers some old, weil worn picture of Ps uth, en from the | bea room wal!, aud precions to 1ts Owner as gold or | glistening Jewei. In truth, this demonstration of yesterday was of no ordinary character. There entered mto it that personal fee!ing which, apart trom the religions ele. mevtof reverence tor the head of the Church, ein- braced the Indiviual Ponuft himself, tils realy gave that warmth and heartiness to the celebration Which formed iis most salient aud significant ebar- actertetic.

Love of the Pope, not so much as Pope, but as @ real prince of humanity, wila a face giving Index to a broad, capacious + anda boundless | for four-score soul, was the main impulse of the jubilee. As fer as New York 1s concerned, its Catho- he population may well feel proud of the honors paid the Sovereign Ponufl, They were not | demanded. No decree went forth commanding that | ob such a day the people should rejotee and iil the | heavens with the peal of thanksgiving anthems, It | & most voluntary ebuliltion of joy, not contined to New York, but making tue circuit of the enure | globe. Where is the sovereign wiio canshow sucha | | | mighty aliegiance held in the mystic bonds of love and faith? As will be seen oy the subjoimed reports the jubilee was general m the elty, and wherever it was celebrated abounding joy for the Pontif’s triumph thus far over morta tis and affection for the grand old man himseif prevatied. PIO NONO’S EVENTFUL CAREER. Stydent, Priest, Prelare, Cardinal and Pou uit—Remarkable Incidents fa His Lic. For the first time since the death of St, Peter, the founder of the Papacy, the chair wnich ne left vacant has been occupied by the same Pontifffor a quarter of acentury. There ls no wonder, then, that Friday, the 16tn of June, i871, the day on which Pio Nono completed the twenty-fifth year of his Fontifcate, has been a day of jubilee throughout the Catnolic ‘worla, In view of that event, then, it is interesting to sketch the career and especially the prolonged and eventful reign of the sovereign Pontuf, who, should he survive but afew weeks longer—and there seems at present but little doubt that he will— ‘will have ev n exceeded St. Peter in the period of tome during which he has ruled the destinies of the Church. The story of nis life isan exceedingly tn- teresting one, being full of incident, and will well repay perusal, FARLY LIFE OF THE POPE, The Chnstian name of Pio Nono is Giovanni Marie. He was born in Sinigagha, Italy, on the 18th of May, 1792, and he is cousequently now a ttle over seventy-nine years of age. His fatuer was the Count Mastal-Ferrett and his mother the Countess Catharine Salazzi, At the age of eleven— beng intended for the Church—young Mastai was placed in the college of a religious body av Volterra, where he soon distingnished himself in his stadies, | so \bat on a visit to that place of Eloise Baccioch, | then Queen of Etraria, and aunt to the ex-Eimpress Napoleon IIL, he was called upon to preside at “An Academy in Verse” given in his honor. At the age of sixteen, while pursuing bis studies, he was seized with epileptic Mts, which were a bar to his entering the priesthood, i he continued his col- Jegiate course, and received the first tonsure from tne Bishop of Volterra at the desire of bis mother, who was much esteemed for her Chrisuan virtues, A year after this, In October, 1809, the young student removed to Rome, where he resided with his uncle, @ canon wm the Vatican Basilica, but both uncle and nephew were soon compelied to fy from the ternal Cry tn conseguence of the seizure of 4he Roman States by Napoleon, In 1812, being then twenty, by reason of Nis disunguished tirth, young Coant Masta was re- quired to Join the Guard of Honor im Milan, but ob- ato enubie them tO complet | to tie Spot | pe and’ immediately extended to the Papal provin | ald menaced Lome and tne Papal government, | Austians eventually suppressed tiese revolute | but t NEW ‘YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1871—TRIPLE SHEET. the breaking out of the revolution in Chile he | Pope was not now viewed as the head of a reform | Vatican, the first general council held since that of returned home, reaching Rome in December, 1825, | movement, but as the after an absence of two years and a half, He was at once appointed by Leo XI1., who nad ascended the Papal throne shortly aster his departure, to the presidency ot the Osptyio of San Michele, the labo- rious duties of Which he taithfuily discharged, BECOMES A PRELATE.

This new cry soon spread beyond the boundaries of the Papal States and, in fact, animated the entire peninsula, and en- listed the sympathies of the’ higher and educated classes who were desirous of emancipating their couutry (rom the degrading guardiansiip of foreign Powers. THE COUNCIL OF STATE which the Pope had promised in a cirenlar of the 1th of April, assembled in Rome on November 15, i847, aud the piauaits of the people, t hoves of the mocderates, the appreheasions of the timid and the evil expectations of the anarchists. ihis Counct, Which consisted of a cardinal president, a preiate Vice president and twenty-lour councillors elected by the provinees, Was msututed for the purpose of aiding Ue Sovereign Pontiff in the secular adminis tration of his dominion; and the occasion of its meeting Was the first on Which laymen and popu. lar representation were admit to the Papal comic's. Cardinal Antonelli was appointed the President and Monsignor Amici the Vice President, and the first act of tie body was to pay homage to the Pope, who delivered an address to the members, ‘This innovation led to Pio Nono being awarded (he approval of the people of several foreign nations, Among the saiutations he received was one trom a meeting, held in the month of November, in the Tabernacle, in our own city, ab which mavy of our leading statesmen expressed thei warmest sym- pathy and admiration.

At the same time the French ambi jor told the extreme ltoerals of the dangers they Were incurring, and poiated ont to them the feeble resistance they could offer to Austri: But whatever the Pope dia he was unable to satisty the revolutionary crowd whitch was as- sembied in Rome. His vacilations, too, were not Jnducive to the retention of popular approval. A RECIPIENT OF NEW YEAR'S INSULTS. New Year's Day of 1548 was a clistasteful one for tie Holy Father. In consequence of frequent ex- hibitions of the reversal of public feeling, conse- quent upon the tntroduction of some conservative Measures, led him to forbid a see proposed tor the new year, as he was feariu) of a public demonstra- tion; and a clamor being then raised, he revoked his order, und even agreed to show himself to the people, He aid so, and on the very spot where, eighiven montis beiore, the maltitude had idolized him on their knees, ie now met with the foulest dnsulis; his carriage was surrouneed by a violent crowd, rouga !eclows mounted the steps, while one, late Pope, which had extended | more audacious than the rest, seated hiunself behind and waved a tricolor flag over the carriage in which che Ponti was seated, THE UPRISING OF 1848, Towards the close of January the Pope made farther concessi and promised more.

On the eveulbg of the i6th the choice unanimously fell on tue lader, Who was bg more than a dozen years tie Youngest of the candidates, and on the morning of the i7th Cardiual Mastat was prociaimed from tie Dasconies of Lie Quirinal as the new Pope, uader the uile of Pius £X,, ana he was crowned on the 21st. ins section was the cause of great rejoicing a@moug We haiian Mberals, who eit inspired rn the hope that tne new PontuY would inuugarate nis reigu with a course of liberal measures, which tney imagined In the end would conduce to Italian unity, which had been teir “bewitching dream’? for many years, ‘There can be little doubt but that Cardinal Mastat wes indebred for lis election to the induence of Louis Patuppe, and his first act was to acknowledge to Count Rossi, the Freneh Atibassador, lis lndebt- edness and gratitude. INAUGURATION OF A CHECKERED "EIGN. The new Pope did not disappoint the expectations of the Hberals, as he commenced his reign by the introducuon of reforms of a vature more progres- sive than any that had been granted by previous Popes; but he soon round hitaself overwhelmed by the revolutionary Wave which passed over Europe in 148, from witch date tll the thine of its total extiuction last year the temporal power of the Pupe Was dependent for its existence on foreigu bay- onets, ‘The first important act of Pius 1X. was to issue, one mouth after he ascended the throne July 16), & general auimesty for political offences, which caused him to become enminentiy popular for the time, and led crowds of all ranks and professions to hasien to the Quirinai to express to him the joy which his act of grace had diffused. fact, so great was the excitemeut that vbough twice in the space of a few houra he had given lis blessing to tne assembled multitudes, he Teit constrained again, contrary to etiquette, alter nigiitfall and py torchiight to ‘bestow his blessing, and a spontuncous illumination lit up the whole city, CHANGES IN PUBLIC FEELING. The Pope was, however, lacking in firmness, Which led to him, after bemg a proguessive leader, lending too attentive an ear to the infueuce of the aristocratle ty, Who had objected to Lis sweepin; anmesty, While at the same time he was tormente by the liberal leaders, Who considered they had a ciaun to offices, pensions or succor of some sort as a recompense for the:r past oppression; but whe great number of the applicauts aud the embar- | rassed finances of the Holv See rendered bim unable to meet the demand, and caused constder- abié strife between the fortunate and uniortanate applicants, This source of disquietude, added to the reputanon the new Pope had obtained for vacii- Jation and inconsistency, soon caused wie Pope's popularity to wane, so that on November 7 of the Sume yer, on bis appearance in puolic, he was deeply mortified to fd bunseit coldly treated.

But the Pope was now beset wiih new diMiculties. | The liberal measures he was introducing ito his dominions induced a horde of the dissatisiied of other countries to flock to the Papel city, as an asylum m which (hey would be unmolested by the | goveramenis they had oifended. Rome tus be- came, at the Clone of 1846, the headquarters of the revolutionary element in Kurope, where aggressive acts were organized, Aware of tue haired with which these irrepressihbies viewed Louis Philippe, Count Rossi, the Frenct Ambassador at Rome, be- came alarmed, and used his influence to limit the Papal reforms to those of a practical and useiul nature; wile, on the other hand, Lord Valmerston favored turbed the relations between the French’ and the tained exemption, owing to the continuance of his distressing malady. He remained in his native city, whither he went after leaving Rome, until the re- turn of Pius the Seventh to his States, and to whom jhe Was p:esented on his passage through sinigagita, He returned to Rome in 1814, where he attended the EKeclestastical Academy, but ony as & layman, as the continuance of his disease was a preventive to his aspiring to sacred orders. Still he did not de- spair, but hoped that the obstacie would in ume be removed, and he soon reassumed his ecclesiastical garb and commenced a course of theological studies, uncer the ceiebrated Professor Joseph Grazios!, In course Of Ume lis epiiepuc atiaeks became less vio- lent, 80 a8 to permit his being admitted to minor orders. FIRST RCOLASIASTICAL LABOK: Young Mastai’s iirst services in the Church were in convection Wiil a mission to his native province, 1) Which he was invited to Join in an endeavor to awaken @ spritof religion among the people, and jn Which he eugaged with singular zeal and with gratifying results. Returning to Rome in tnproved eaith, he obtained a «lispensation and was promo- ted to sub-deacon, to which office he was ordatned December 18, 18 net afterwards to that of deacon. Aspiring to the priestuwod, he eventuaity solicited a further dispensation, Which was granted on the condition that he should be isted by another clergyman when offering the holy sacrifice. He, Nowever, m time, deteriuined, tf possible, to obtain the removal of this restriction, for which purpose he asked for and obtained a special audience of the ‘Pope, Who had always looked kindly upon him, In this audience he was granted the favor he desired, the Holy Fatherpelling Lim that he believed be would be no longer vontiat dd With lis disease; ana from that (tne he bas had no return of the malady, He ceiebra- ted mass for the first tine on Easter, 181% in the Church of St. Anne det Folignami, which adjoined An orphange where he had devoted himself to the care and maimtenance of 100 poor orphans, Who were being trainea to various trades, and to whom he personally gave religious instruction.

Shortly aiter tuis, on August 10, another cause Of disquletude Was the setzure by the Austrians of the city of Ferara, under a presumed authority given by the treaty of Vienna; but evidently for the purpose of keeping watch over the Romau liberals, the spread of liberal opinions, which dis- | The hberals viewed these decided expres- | ud did not hesitate to assert | VERSARY CELEBRAVION OF (HE AMNESTY PRO- | Or IWgit introduce a Dew policy which | cerity by forming a new Cabin Consequeutiy, | { i | { r | | | i | | i i ! net, , composed of ten lay and only three ecclesiastical members, This Ministry ttediately set about iraming a new con- stitudon, the extension of the National Guards, aud woe of part ior active service in tae eld, ‘Nhe Pope was next dragged into the war which Was now being waged between Sardinia and Austria, being forced against his will to declare war against the latter power, and to coutribute a small force to the Italian league.

The war Was Not a pro- tracted one, soon terminating by the success of A. stria and the abdication of Charles Albert in favor of his son, the present King of Itwily.
