THE POPE ON THE EASTERN QUES- TION. {Romo (Aug. 30) correspondence of Manchester Ex- aminer.} Tne Pope latoly received the young studonts of the Propaganda Fidm and delivered a considerably long discourse, The Pope, after a brief allusion to one of the Lord’s miracles, commenced speak about the political condition of Italy, about the laws voted and presented to Parliament, avout the moral and social condition of Rome since tho transfer of the capital, and, again protesting against the usurpation of his States, hoped that all would come right again, Con sidering that Vins IX. was addressing foreign youthe, one might have expected from His Holiness at least some allusion to foreign politics, But the Pope tock precious good care not to touch so delicate an argu ment, What could be have told those poor seminar- ists preparing to preach the doctrines of the Catholic Church among tho infidels? Could he have toid them that, thanks to Cardinal Franchi and Patriarch Hassan, and thanks more cepeciaily to all the Roman monsignor! who hed preferred Turkish bonds to Italian consola, the Church was at tis mo- ment on the best terms possiblo with the Sublime Porte, and that, sotaras the Vatican was concerned, the triumph of the iniidels was all they cared for? What would those poor boys have said it His Holi- ness had uteriained them with along explanation of the Church’s views on the Eastern question? The cries of indignation aguinst real or pretended massacres of Christians in the East may proceed trom any quarter, there is litle chance of its proceeding from the Vau- can, unless # be assured that somebody else will guarantes the foluers of Turkish bonds. ‘This may seem an exaggeration, but ail those who are a littic acquainted with the reat state of matters here must admit that tt 18 positively so, If you talk to sume of these geutiemen ihey will tell you that the Church must not encourage the insurgents, because it is bho auty of the Church to prevent, and not to fomont, revolutions—a very convenient ‘maxim when necessary; but then they will add that the Caurch has no reason for supporting a sect of Christians who ob- stinately refuse recognizing the authority of the Roman Ponutt, ‘The fact is that the Pope has agreed to treat with the Turkish Minister at the Court of King Victor Em- maanel, and has condescended #o far in order to per- sande the Porte of his goodwill to do all that he cun to favor Turkey. Whiie the Pope is thus proclaiming himself a champion of Turkish integrity the liberal Journals, both Ministerial and opposition, are oxalt- ing Count Molegari, the Minister tor Foreign Affairs, and are entreating lim to insist on tho separa: von of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Empire and their constitution as separate provinces. Tho i:beral journals deciare the scheme impracticable, and that there is little chanee of tho question being thas solved. Indeed, they declare that is is Italy 8 mission to submit to the Kuropean Powers sol ns of a dui able and practical character, ltuly hos ambitious views in the Kast, and her interests are as great as those of any Continental Power, and her proposais mast be considered as coming trom a State which aims at securing really peaceiul results, A BICKENING TRAGEDY.

The sandy beach ut Coney Island and Rockaway was frev of footprints and the ‘excursion boats made their tips with empty decks, As the day progressed the storm increased in fury, and when night came onit blew a perfect gale. The rain, too, came down in torrents, aod the wind dishing it through the oir made umbrel- Jas a useless coverttg.

ALONG TIF NORTH RIVER, The wind and rain, which seemed to increase in fury during the evening, culminated aboat hall-past nine o'clock in a perfect tempest, Along West, Greenwich and Washington streets, and the streets running ut right angles with them irom Canal street to the Bat- tery, there was hardly a ary cellar, The river rose so much and so rapidly as to prevent tho sewers from carrying off the water, which in consequence found a channel through the streets. The river, still risin; forced the water back In the sewers, flooding cellars. basements, in Fome cases to the depth of tour and five feet. The suriace water, unable to. find an outlet, flooded the strects, and at one time Cortlandt street, In tho neighborhood of West, was covered with a sheet of water (rom house to honse. At this time the street was entirely impassable, and pedestrians were obliged to make a wide detour in ordef to reach the river. The writer passed through the flooded districts just after the storm had reacled its height, and some of the os witnested were almest indescribable, In Cedar street are many sailor boarding houses located in basements and cellars. Into ono of tbeso writer descended, Tho entire floor was covered with water to the depth of four leet, and everything of a movable naturo moved, Beds, tables, chairs, te and clothing floated around in the greatest confusion, while a number of MEN, WOMEN AXD CHILDRRE, perched upon soinething ubcve the water, pationtly fished the things ont, article by articic, At every suc- cessial entch there would be a cheer of en- couragement from a crowd of sympithizers around the door, some of whom seomed sorry that it was not their house, so that they might enjoy tne fishing. As each article was caught it was taken to the street, until the sidewalk presented the appearance of ajunk snop. The boarders of these cellars were gen- erally accommodated for the mzht by their more for- tunate neighbors who lived on the second floor, who, on account of the fact. assumed an air of intense re- epectability, that was not in the least catmsaid them by the humbied denizes of the lower floors, Said one an- cient dame to the wiiter, as she calmly paifed on a short clay pipe, ‘Yer see, sit, wevo had floods before, but never so much; the water has allery ron in a the top slore, so we had the floors caiked like a ship's bottom and would bait ber out. But it’s no use bailing to-night, ‘cause the water runs in faster than a fire engine could pump tt oat.”” i Her story about the calking wns jound to be true. In many basements the water has risen before, but by kocping the floors tight very httle got through, but last night's proved too much for the floors, us it did | for the ancient dame’s good nature, who went down the street with the remark that ‘she had never seen tho hkes atore.”" All slong Cedar and adjacent streets like scenes were transpiring. In Liberty street a bakery wns flooded, and in the cellar a number of barrels of floar floated peacefully in and out of the open door of the largo oven. A number of berreis un the sidewalk were without beads, and their contents, reduced to the con- ristency of paste, was engerly sought alter and car- ried uway by the gafhins of ‘tho neighborhood. As soon as the fury of the storm was spent pumps of all order was restored. On Broadway during the hetght of the storm a largo plate glass window in front of Kaldenberg’s pipe store, under the Astor House, was biown out and fell with a crash upon ihe pavement, 1ollowed b¥ a chotco selec- Hon of meerschauim pipes. The police were promptly | on hand, however, and taking charge prevented the | not unlikely diminution of the proprietor's stock. Kurly in the evening @ large tree on Fourth street, near Sullivan street, was prostrated across the street. For sevoral bours the Seventh avenue cars were obliged to jump the track and take the pavement around it The number of signs and small trees carried away by the gale were almost counticss, and a choice collection ot stray signs was to be found at almost any police sta- Hon last night.
