Pio Nono in His Twenty-sixth Year of Reign— Feeiings of the People—Description of the Ceremonies—Inci- dents of the Day. Rome, June 16, 1871. ‘To-day Pio Nono has equalled the years of St. Peter, and his Pontifical jubilee to celebrate the twenty-tive years completed began this morning. This event has been awaited with considerable joy by the Pope’s partisans and with some anxiety on the part of the Italian government, from fear of disturbances and brolls in the streets between the \wo factions, the patriots and the Papalines. So far the feast has gone on well, and, although it will last until the 2ist, tmoiusive, the conviction is general that no trouble will take place. The greatest pre- cautions have been taken to keep the peace of the city, and to-day the streets have been picketed with troops of the line, carabineers, policemen and national guards, as if really the Count de Chambord, with the temporal power in his pocket, stood under the walls of Rome. The royal commissary here, Minister Garda, issued yesterday his proclamation to the Romans, in which he expressed the hope that they would, with their usual moderation and good sense, allow the Ponti- fical jubilee to pass off unmolested, as a splendid confirmation of the entire liberty which religion aud its servants have enjoyed and do enjoy under the new rule, The jubilee is taxen for a solemnity. The city is rather fattered to have on hand now and then a rare performance which could not take place in other towns, and the excitement in specu- lations of all kinds has been rife for the last few days, THE VARIOUS DEPUTATIONS which have arrived from foreign countries brought with them nuze sums of money collected at tome asa present to his Holiness, as well as many other gifts and valuables, all of which have graciously received an abiding place at the Vatican. Pius IX. thus touches a pretty round sum, roughly estimated at several millions of francs; and, if such things as jubilees were of more frequent occurrence, he would soon be the richest rater of Europe, even having lost his subjects and taxing powers. It 1s not likely that Victor Emmannel would receive a like gratification, 1f, by hook or by crook, he should lose his throne. Among the deputations arrived there are ecclesiastics of ail colors, dresses and ways of thinking, There is no stir made over them as was made at the time of the arrivals for the Ecumenical Council, It ia true, they are by far fewer In numbers, THE GRAND TOTAL of clergy and laical visitors from abroad being esti- ated at 3,000, not enough to content the hotel- keepers, who, bestles, do not recognize in them the qualities of the spendthrift, The visitors are as much astonished at what they see in the streets as the Romans are over the unusually ordinary quality of those who, it was said, had this time come to molest instead of to purchase, to fight instead of to laugh. At this rate foreigners would soon lose that prestige which so-many past years spent here nad gained for them in the eves of the natives. Decidedly the most striking feature of the festivity 1s the pecaliat giance which the citizens bestow on jubl- ators as they pass in the streets; the look means plainly to say, We do not fear you, but would respect yoa if you ouly had some money to furnish us—oh, what skeletons of foreigners! Can these be jores- tert—stant nominis 2? You must observe that both the factions charge each other with having driven that valuable animal, the forestere, away from Rome and completely out of the market, by their misdeeds, CARNIVAL IS COME AGAIN, Yesterday, at un early nour, the visits of presonta- tion and congratulation commenced at the Vatican ; along chain of carriages, from the interior of the city to the colonnade at the Pope's door, was kept up throughout the day. The devout, who seemed to be engaged in a very different business from the inaif- Jerent lookers-on; in fact, to be of a distinct and sep- arate race, such was the coldness of the one party and the fervid, hot zeal ot the other, consisted of Ital- Jans, Romans and the members of the foreign dele- gations, ‘Tncre was on hand to recetve ail comers at the door and at the colonnade a company of Italian soldiers, yendalmes aid City police, while at the en- trance of the statrway leading up to the Papal apart ments stood a full bevy of Swiss sentinels and ex- sergents-de-ville, All ‘THE VISITORS were compelled to have and present authority to enter, and the greatest precaution was used to keep away from the ceremonies all those suspected of ever having pulled or wished to puil @ trigger for Italy and its King. Most of those who entered were old ladies and genuemen ; sometimes three or four Priests arrived; only & sprinkling of the aristocracy of bishops and nobility lent their presence to ve gazed at by the detested soldiers wearing the national cockade, and by the equaily detested curious: rabble gathered behind the gendarmes to catch a peep at what they could see of and imagine to be the famous jubilee of Pio Nono. After entrance was once obtained the visitors were duly PRESENTED TO THE POPF, by the /amiere on service, and as the various ad- dresses Were read the Pope expressed his thanks and greeted lus felicitators with endless smiles. His benevolent counienance is always attractive and pleasiug when hes clothed In his robes «i gala, as on this occasion, and, notwithstanding the rumors in regard to his feeble health, he looked un- commonly heaithy,as if he had been kept and strengthened up expressly to fulfil the number of years: required to obtain the spezial honor of the day, Which we all have been compelled to observe in one way or another. Toe working women of the meaner quarters of the city were allowed the honor of a visit, and in thelr humble finery gave color and variety to the sceues. No one saw or was presented to Pius IX. who did not ae him a handsome ent in coin or in Kind. To-day something of the same sort been goimg on since eight o'clock A. M., when the vehicles began to flow towards St. Peter's in much larger number than yesterday. To-day more gifts and ad- Gresses were offered aiso, in return tor which the apostolica! benediction was bestowed liberally. After the visitors had retired from the Vatican the inspected the painted portrait of the Pope, whic! has been set in me.ailion form, and, as a high and unique honor, just over the bronze statue of St. Peter. He 1s the only Pope who has lasted as long as St. Peter, ami, of course, he 1s the only one wno enjoys the privilege of having his likeness to deco- rate the walls of the church. Under the portrait 1s a} bronze slab, with the following inscription in raised letters:-—- Orercceorscservecsereness iE MaKe reg in of n PIO TX. PONT. MAX. Qui, Petri, Annos, In Pontificatt Romano, 2 é Sacram Ornavit Sedem, XVI. Kal, Quint, A. MDCCCLXXT. 5 OAT NLC COLELLO REE ROLE DOE TE LOO LELELE PE LELE EE: UNDER THE SLAB there has been placed a carved wooden canopy, with tassels hanging Py above the head of St. Peter's statue; on the sides of this canopy are carved tiaras and keys, or the Papal arms. ‘Two little wooden angels, Kneeling, are represented holding up the portrait in their nands; they are chubby, as all angels must be, but wretched specimens of work- manship—downright botches, The likeness 1s good, although Pio Nono has heen given quite youthful, ruddy cheeks under his gray locks and white skull cap. True, the purple cape, bordered with white fur, necesssrily heightens up the coloring of the whole, This 18 the only permanent mark that will remain in the church of the jubileeical event, al- though the ordinary ceremonies of mass, “*te Deum,” big candies and the lighting of many chandelicrs record the fact to the ne spectators now in Rome. Several army and ay police officers were seen strutting about the church with their Swords dangling by their sides when the cloths Covering the pvortalt were removed, ut twelve M. 1 observed parti Gre they did not dup their fingers in the bowis of holy water, as the faichiul did; they gave it a wide berth, and why not?—excommunicated soldiers who beat down the Pope's gates with cannon could scarcely go through with the farce of sprinkling themselves with holy water on such @ day and in such proximity. ‘The King sent a General to the Vatican with his felicita- Uons to the Pope ; Cardinal Antonelli toid the bearer that all he could do would be to take the Pope's orders; and those commands express are to receive or tolerate no scommuntcato. But at present writ- ing we do not know how the feted Pontif has spoken. We shall see, and you will hear py tete- graph ere this letter reaches its destination. Weare to have four more days of the festivity. Only one little yellow flag was hung out ofa window to-day with the inscription—‘Long live Pius 1X.” It was soon removed by the authorities. In view of the hostule feelings of the majority of the citizens and the repression which the government could use, the clericais have determined not to demonstrate pub- liely or to Muminate their houses. PIO NONO AND BIS WORK: The Encyclical, says the Poll Malt Gazecte, in which Ptas IX. omficially announces the jubtiee of the twenty-fifth year of his pontificate, contains a summary of his religious acts and tho modifications he is believed to have effected in the spiritual world. His performances in the material world are also above mediocrity. He is essentially a building Pope:— * Thad noticed this tendency in Pius 1X.

The public garsea of Moniarto and the splendid tobacco manu- ‘tory below it are his work. His name is on seve- ral baths and washhouses, workmen's lodging houses and four or five asylums for young girls. He has restored the hospital of Santo Spirito and the Emporio, an aucient part of the Tiber still full of the marbles which were sert up tothe Emperors and Prefects from Lucca, Airica and tne East. In short, Pius IX., without feverish activity or talka- tive fussiness, has beeu au exvellent promoter of useful public works. But he is most remarkable as. & restorer of churches, Some five or six Popes have been noied for reconstructing ruined churches. Adrian |. is especially eminent in this respect, I think that the memory of Pius IX. will deserve equal honor.

Demonstration of the Catholic Congregation Against Their Clergyman—He is ‘Turned Away from the Church with Threate—He Excommunicates the Riugleaders. Aupson, N. Y., Jaly 2, 1871, ‘The Catholic rebellion in this city was continued to-day with unabated vigor. The rebels were up brignt and early tnis morning, and long before the hour for the morning services had arrived had their Pickels thrown out m all directions in the neighbor- hood of the church, so that the pastor might not take them unawares and get imto the building through some back way. The gate of THE CHURCH YARD WAS GUARDED by five men, who stood on the outside, and two who took up # strong position on the inside, as @ sort of reserve for the first line of defence. Strange to say, although the rebellion and its probable conse- quences formed the chief subject of conversation all over the city yesterday and to-day, but very few Protestants thought it worth their while to be on hand to see THE UPSHOF OF THE RUMPUS at church time, It is none of their fmneral and they act wisely in showing by their absence that they were well aware of the fact.

General Frightiul Consequences of Froa Love—President Lincoln’s “Pet’’ Perforated with a Bullet from a Charcoal Cart Driver's Fistol— The Wanton Woman Wilson and Her Pair of Paramours—Arrest of the Murderer andthe Coroner’s Inquest. Never was tie truth of the old saying that “still water rons deep” more amply exemplitied than by an occurrence in Newark, N. J., yesterday, which Startled that quiet city to its very core and is des- tined to create a profound sensation throughout the entire country. Beneath the smooth, calm and placid surface of social life in New Jersey's “City of Churches” it 19 a well Known fact that a sweeping undercurrent of vice and immorality really flows, carrying with it into the ocean of infamy and per- dition representatives of the very best families of “ye ancient towne on ye Passayak.’’ The occur. rence of yesterday, the details of which abundantly prove the accuracy of the foregoing, was A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, in which General Oliver S. Halsted, of Newark, figured as the unfortunate victim. General Halsted 1s better known as ‘Pet.”” He was murdered yes- terday morning, between seven and eight o’clock, at No, 95 South street by one George Botts, a charcoal cart driver, residing at No. 80 Belleville avenue, The details of the shocking aifair, gathered by tne HERALD representative after hours of labor, appear to be as follows:—Between two and three o'clock yesterday morning some of the residems of No, South street were aroused irom sleep by loud knocking at the back door, The first floor 1s taken up with # lager beer saloon, kept by one John Spies, His daughter, Henrietta Spies, and her sister went to the window and observed a@ man pounding at the door. Un questioning him as to what he wanted, the man told the girl he desired to get in—he WANTED TO SEB HIS WIFE he sald. She told him to go away, that his “wife” had gone to South Orange and was not there. He left, but returned an hour or two tater, when pretty much the same circumstances transpired, Off he went again and remained away for several hours more, when once more he tumed up, The girls were afraid: of him and aus- pected that something frightiul would’ happen should he once get inside, About half-past seven o’clock the milkman turned up, and while Mr. Spies’ little boy was securing milk for break- fast the strange man, who had all along beea prowl- ing in the vicinity, watched his chance and DARTED UP STAIRS, swiftasa wildcat, There was presently heard a double crash, as of doors being smashed in, and the ringing report of a revolver. The little boy Spies was instantly despatched for ofMicer Cullen, of the police force, who lives in Tichenor street, near by. The officer promptly started for Spies’ place, and on reaching there learned ot the murder, and that the murderer had escaped. He followed quickly in the direction taken by the latter, and overtook him tn Tichenor street. THE MURDERER MADE NO RESISTANCE, but quietly accompanied the officer to the station house. On the way thither he freely admitted hav- ing fired the fatal shot, but alleged that the mur- dered man first fired at him. This is not possible, as will presently appear, He remarked to his cap- tor, “Well, I'll spend a bad Fourth, 1 suppose, but ‘Pet’ Halsted will spend a worse.” He was lodged in cell No. 8, and strict injunctions given to allow mo one to have intercourse with him. lo re turn to THE SCENE OF THE MURDER. lt appears that on reaching the top floor Botts burst am the door of one ot the two rear rooms occupled by the wretched female, the cause of the tragedy, Whose name 1s Mrs. Mary E.

She was nearly dressed, but he had on only his drawers and undershirt and one stocking. ‘They heard Botts bounding up stairs, and when he broke open the first door the guilty pair rushed into the pedroom. The door of this soon gave Way despite ‘Pet's’ efforts to hold it fast. Botgs 18 aman of powerful build, while “Pet” wa’ quite small and slender in frame. The moment the door was open Botts presented his revolver and tired one shot. Then foliowed A FRIGRTFUL DEATH STRUGGLE. ‘The two men clinched and scumed out into the large room. Then **Pet”? realized that he was shot and cried to the woman to take the pistol from Botts. This she coulda not do, however. Presently “Pet staggered over to a lounge and dropped ex- hausted, Botts maae his exit and, as above reiared, was subsequently captured. A few minutes before eight o'clock Sergeant Wilson, of the police force, Taade his appearance. Mr, Halsted was stili alive. He died soon after, within forty minutes of the time of being shot, without uttering a word save «Pm shot.’ Joseph Osborn appeared soon after death had taken place, and soon alter hirh came the county physician.
