"Rome and her 'Churches Misbehaving Travelers The Colosseum by . Moonlight ExomiSCUOUi. Sightseeing Paintings and Sculptures. 4C. Rome, March 1, 1807. For several days past, at about ten in the morning,-1 Lave seen Cardinals t descend from their carriages, drawn up in front of a plain looking -Louse adjoining the Church of Maria Sopra Minerva It was ' evident that theytwere on some official business, and my curiosity was naturally aroused to -know what the heads of the "'74" " ' i ' " ' T. i uatnonc worm were aoiog iu so numJbeJoQ;ing aplace.UOn inquiry.! ascertained they were-holdingr the sessions of the inquisition or congregation of the Santo Uffizio, and that tiria -unostentatious front upon which I haLQen, j staring;; in f ignorance,' was no less than the en trance to thos halls in which the astronomer Galileo under Pope Urban Yljifip ;4bJSj:iad-tOr retactrupon bis knees 'before the" Court bf ten Cardinals,, at the head of vWhichaat iKrgia isH.ben new theory uppn ofar planetary system and the earths revolving around the sub". From hej-e went forth the authorization of cruety t heretics, and the persecution pf tnose wno dissented irom tne aqc- . trines of .the jChurch. -The inoiiisitiou thanks to progress, has to-day lost its terror; and though thei ten : Cardinals may yet:; continue.., their sittings, '-. they .? are . no. more.'i feared. .When ; I,' gee these venerable looking old divines undoubtedly all men of .$be highest culture, uressea in ineir-vesimems of ''glaring, red descend from their state 'coaches, drawn by coal black stallions, going to their task, and then take into:consideration the' state of affairs abroad and public opinion, not only in Rome but in all Italy,' I cannotbut associate their fate , with that of several Churches of that religion, the head. of which, they . ae, -f These Cjhurches are'some -of 'the great ad tune-honored landmarks of Christendom, suchaa Santa Maria Maggiore. Sn Giovani ' ' in "Dateraho, and Sin Paolo Fuori le Mura. Although tte grandest of templesat which the christian woTld Las worshipped, thiy stand alone and in- desolate places in all their grandeur.. Life has gradually ebbed away from their holy preciucte, and ithas left -. them, as . it were, o uiourn over; their' departed glory. ,TLe churches of Rome, and their nnmbez is nearly three. hundred,Uo:a population of two , hundred thousarfd souls, ' ' necessarily ,, . fcrm , one of ils ffeat distinguishing features. At tlje pad of - them all is the world renowned"' Saint Peter's,' with its' magnificent dome, the diameter of whiqh latter is inferior only to that 'bf the Pantheon and the Duomb, of Florence. The .buldachino over the , high altar, at which only, the Pope officiates, and .which; f avera1, the relics St. Peter 'rises uwithinj the body of "the s church to n6t much' less than - one - hundred feet. N In fact the proportions in r thiB monster' church are, almost: beyond ponceptjpU.;r.Itnarine that the circumference of each of 'the great pillars carrying the dome ii253 feet, and that even the smallest cnerubr angel sedasjcessQjxtp the many sculptured groups " i u the body of the church is one-third larger than the largest of ordinary-sized me a, and you will form some idea of its , dimensions. ,; As to-ttBeTdetails of what every one . in , jChristen- J dom knows; : it is unnecessary ! to make repetition, and most people, perhaps, are aware that it cost over fifty million dollars ; that it took three and a half centuries, 'extending over the reigns aof forty-three ; Popes, to complete it, and that no less than three hundred thousand .dollars, annually is required to keep up its repairs. t Notwithstanding all this, added'to -whatever is aid by the highest authorities upon architecture as to the matchless proportions and the architectural harmony f this great structure, I cannot help but express -nay-preference for the plainer shape and design of the more simple and plain basilica, representative of wbwbl&St'iPaiiL's,: outside tbp;walls. Prior to the year 1823, this, one of the 'mostl ancient of - all ' Rome's churches Jthe erection of which was feagunTin bsfiburtt; eeifaryX .- rvel its basilica form intact. Since its destructionTLyjfireyinnovations of style have taken place, but yet it is, io some of its parts, the basilica almost Dure.; and although it is, fully two" hundred feet" shorter Hharf St. Peter's, that matchless, nave, with, its side-aisles supported by eighty granite cclumnsfrom.thSimplon, gives an impression of space" and grandeur ..iardlyiexperienced.ijn any other class of building. Take yOur" position7' under the portal near the main entrance, lean against one of the two beautiful; columns - of Egyptian, alabaster, 'presented , by the Viceroy pf Egypt, look down over ifs almost acres of polished marble pavements, through and amongst these simple. colonades of granite,. and, there wirfi5taf over-you that sense of satisfied beauty: and calm: repose, nowhere else experienced excepunder the long lines of mighty, trees in the depths of .the paxkr, tehady forest, Religious .devotion in thta country has i pro ' 'duced and brought together ; the beit ; efforts of art'iri , all , of. its' branches, but more ; especially"1 in ' "the art Of tainting is cnatolic .. Italy superior. The churches of Italy yet, after repeated spoliation and the "gathering

numbers of fine paintings; you often como.upQ3 them, quite. unawares. I did ?o the other dav in the crypt of Santa Martina, near the capitoline for&aiwher ih -cu&iod&, pointed out to me a Madonna of soft and dreamy beauty, by Andrea del Sarto, within an obscure little altar, placed in such darkness that he had to light it up with his taper before I could see that iheie was a nicture at all. The day following, while strolling, we, without any previous knowledge', stepped into what proved to be the Church of the .Capuchins, which contains Guido's . celebrated Saint Michael, one of. his finest productions, called by Forsyth the Chatolic Apollo. The Saint, unlike most others, is of the most graceful and youthful proportions, breathing ' the warm soft hues of youth, lit up as it were by a holy light. The head of the very ugly devil, upon whose neck the Saint's foot rests, is said to be a portrait of Cardinal .Pamfili, afterwards Pope .Innocent X, who had offended :,the artist by .hiscriticisms.' The .church contains o$Le,fgood paintings, ' and is .' richly endowed by; the Barbarini family,whose;t9mbs are here : underneath "are four Jow fault ed chanjbexs, shown us.' "by, qnk? rdf' the ftiaTsV which constitute .tjift cemetery ot the orderjiWne&oneiof the friars dies, he is bufiedv in hbly earth brought from -Jerusalem, in one of the four- gave3! which-',1s emptied of its forjpre 'becApant fprthe, benefit, of the newly deceased brother. The skeletons so taken up are either clothed in the" cowl of the order,- and with a rosary in their fleshless fingers set up . ina niche of the wall, or taken to pieces, the skulls, crossbones, and larger morsels piled up with as great regularity as brick ' in a kiln, and all the small bones ' made into the most fantastic designs imaginable to decorate the ceiling and walls. Even the lamps suspended in each chamber are made of human bones. Strange sight, this, denoting certainly a very singular taste. To fully describe all the churches of Rome would normal! task; their interest is varied f'sdtnd' are magnificent architectural achievements, others interesting for their age and their history, while very many attract by the works of art they contain, and their magnificent interiors."1 'To the devotee they should, of course, all be attractive alike, and I always assume that they are so, and try to conduct myself with that decorum land respect while withinMheni du to 'the Embodiment of that sentiment representative of that which i best and most loveable in,ourf .nature, I ,am. sorry to. say, howver-thdtlhavd'now-andnhew observed travelers Americans in some instances--displaya brusque behavioanioanting to rudeness, quite out of lace. 'They1 would sniff around everywnerewhethet permitted or not, talk loud while people were at their devotions, and make themselves generally conspicuous, to the great annoyance, of others,-:'"!, for myself, envy not the head or the heart of that man who, when he sees the pavement of a Catholic Church sprinkled with -living formsi rapt with devotion al fervor, is conscious of no other emotion than a sneering protest against the mummeries of superstiioriJ ACi tf. - LV i !-,VA r.Ao The oldest of all church edifices, perhaps, is the Pantheon. It is at the same time the only- structure of antiquity (erected twenty-seven years before ChristVr which l is 'preserved en tire, and, although it has been strin--ped of its ornaments long ago, in its present state ot unadorned nuditv it yet conveys to the beholder an idea of grandeur and - solidity seldom " met with elsewhere. Its portico or one hundred and ten feet width, although it counts' twenty-seven years'1' more than does the Christian Era, is, in its magnificent proportions, still borne aloft by those sixteen matchless granite columns,' each cut out of one piece, nearly fifty feet high.' ' The centre of the dome is open, and admits rain as well as sunshine, neither of which ever interferes with the service, as the altars all range in a circle close up,againstthe walls. A simple slab and' inscription near one of the altars marks the place "where the '-remains nf th a great Raphael rest. There are also other masters of painting buried here The oldest of all Christian Churches howeverbuilt for thatLpurposehas, within the last few years, been excavated under the present old church of Saint Clemente, which again has been found to set on top of the very exnKVve; lemalna of teutp.le, dating hatfk'tothe Republican7 pirfoff ancient Rome, giving lOQlytone .ofithe many illustrations how one generation builds "tip but of and- upon the ' decay ,ofa 3 ts,i predecessor.

JJeep silence reigned around, not even "The watch dog's bay beyond the Tiber'' ' or " f'the owl's long cry," which Byron seems to have heard, disturbed the quiet of the place until we tor there . were three of us struck up the "Red. -White and Blue, and right-willingly aa xjie tnu arcnesi ana . vaults ring with, tne ftchq ot. our yoices.-, , ecarceJy,i jnore i 'obedient , could .they . have been jto " tbV shouts of.' the assembled multitude,'1 while . they hailed tbettriumph of!, rthe victorious gladia.tora in tha olden 4ays- ;.:Fr6m the C1lsseum,"! passing1 under the arch of Cpntahtipe at the head of yia Sacra, .vouireacn tne lAPPian t way. - nassme out of the walls tbTough' the arch ' of xrusus ana iue-uaie .ui oi, oeoasuano. -This road, though narrowyis 'as Tar , as me, eye can ipiow it un the Alban mountains, as straight as an arrp.w would fly.. .' Just then yoti have passed the , baths of.'

' ,' The campagna here opens but with all its vast and level expanse, intersected 'only by ; the .'lbng, long line of arches, once aqueducts,- sup-plying-Rome' with water, and f which now form such an appropriate ' ornament 1 to that , peculiar ; .if landscape. Not ; fm , ' .'off, is the ; sacred wood,i a -j littler knoll '-of ' ground fbickly ; set ; with', ; olives," ; making s a complete grove, and the Fountain of Egeria, where Numa came1, nightly to consult .with the Nymph both leasr aj?t, spojts .to visit. Ib; this same direction but out through the Gate of St. Paul, is the Pyramid, of Caius Cestius, a tomb of. over; one! hundred feet iu hight, and near by the two Protestaht Cemeteries; the old one 'containing the remains of Mrs. Browning and Keats'; the new one, what.was left of, Shelly. I also found many American names engraved upon the tombs here.It is a nleasant spot, one side of it leaning against the old city wall and quite retired. UncleEugene, an old bachelor friend, who is often with us on our ramblesi' i calls '. the . ruins of ; Rome " old rubbish " and old rubbish they ertaiiily arej; in the . dollar and cent sense of the word, worth very little ; but what portentious monitors'bf the past ;; what wealth of warning instruc-i tiondoi they not' contain tor the Hying,',' and what .reminiscences of departed glory are i not clustering around them ! For, the thoughtful each of, these silent solitary columns is a isrgn-post,' pointing 'out that -road: which, through the experience of . the past, diligently- studied and intellig$$t)x'j; applied,' '.leads ;Jtp,.l,1 pros-' perity and greatness of present and future"' generations. What 1 wholesome lessons may not . we . Amer icans, who to-day are building what e fondly 'wish, to; endure 'for ages, learn from the past ar d its- teachings. But why pbilosophize, when ;l ought only here and there gather waifs and jot them down? Why attempt to : give a J colored picture,1 with light1 arid shade filled in completely, w4ien-1 am unable even to give a simple etching or. pen-sketch?. The fact is: that the raw material to be worked up into a letter here is in such bewildering profusion that you. scarcely know how to choose, and, therefore, often run off the track entirely. It is, for instance(, very dry to count up in regular ! rotation J the. fights you. have seen, the reader-upon whom such arprocesETis inflicted; can dd much better by buying Murray, Baedecker, or any other (except Harper's) guide-book, and read timVelf up, than-waste; Lfstime by 'following tne ; wanderings of the tourist;) which often describe very eccentric, curves. This morning, for instance you could j have found me in tae Cloaca Maxima, not - far from where this twenty-five centuries' old drain empties into the Tiber or you could have; followed ; me ; down two stories deep underground into' the Mamertine Prison,! where St. Peter was kept in confinement. ' You could have drank some of the water with me from "the spring at K the, '' bottom, of the dungeon, which, by a miracle, gushed forth at the Apostle's ; command,; to furnish him watet.with which to baptize his goalers.( Y"ou would have seen the pretty little circular temple ot Vesta, with its Perestyle of Corinthian colnmns, complete too small for a house, and too large to be hung on one's watch-chain, as a celebrated wag remarked; or, perhaps, if you are very delicate, you could have caught a sneezing cold in -the Church of St. Georgio m Velabro,f decay and damp of the centuries giving it the musty atmosphere of a :" badly ; ventilated cellar. This is an old . Basilica, the nave1 with flat "ceiling t carried by two rows of columns," each one of a different pattern and b'e!ong? ing to a different order. In the nave ) and in front ot the altar: on each side

are the iambones or clumsy: marble reading desks only found in "one or two other.of the most ancientcburches in Rome, together with an ancient marble " candelabrum, ' with mosaic work- for thePaclial-candle --This church dates its erection back to the third or fourth century. Near by is the arch of Janus Quadrifrous, and the Arcus Argentinus the latter erected to Septimus Severus by the money changers and merchants. ; The house .of Rienzi, remains of -.various temples, and not far off, what remains of the Tarpeian Rock farther up the the river from the PonteRotto which bridge (part suspension) crosses just below the' Island, you , come to, the Theatre of Marcellus, once a circular building capable . of holding ; twenty thousand spectators,- now full of filthy holes for hucksters., rag. and old iron mongers.
