i'APAL ELECTION.
M lien we conuiiler that tho number of Ro
man Ciuholies amounts to one hundred and fif
ty millions ot hein-a, who are scatterred over
almost ihe entire snrfaeo ofihe globe- forming
themselves nearly the whole population of
some eonritries, its in Franco, Austria and Spain
nml ronsiitiititig no ineonsidernhle portion of
the inhabitants of others, ns in Great llritnin,
Germany nnd Switzerland, wo may denomin
ate the di-util of a Pone an event which excites
universal interest. Tlie election of a sucees
sor to wear tlie tiarn, ns it is a circumstance of
the greatest moment, itfi'eeting so large a pro
portion of the human faintly, necessarily nwak
Gitsthe highest solicitude, and sets various pas-
sums in motion. \ lather, a spiritual guide, is
demanded by one 11 n ml red ami fifty millions nf
persons from tlie hands of fifty or sixty old men,
who constitute the Sacred College. Although
they appear to take extraordinary precautions
against the caprices of fortune, and the ina
oeuvres ofiutrigue, yet they ecu rarely, if ever,
succeed in freeing themselves from tho infiu
cnee of either. It is a fact well authentica
ted, that instructions nnd intelligence have
been conveyed to tho members of the conclave,
whilst in ilicir temporary confinement, adroit
ly concealed in the rides of a stuffed fowl, or
hidden under n second rovering of pastry;
tints verifying tlie remark that neither the
thickness of walls, nor the strength of bars
nnd grates, presents nil obstacle insurmounta
ble by politinal tut.
As we have no adequate idea in this country
of the interior organization of the conclave,
and the ceremonies nnd formalities which pre
cede its opening, our renders, perhaps, will not
deem tlie space badly employed, which we in
tend devoting to nn abstract of an article in the
French Journal ites dibfiles, containing an excel
lent account nfthosa matters.
The custom of the conclnvo originated in
the year 1270. two years after tlie death of
Clement the Fourth, at Viterbo. During that
period the cardinals summoned there had been
engaged in discussions concerning the choice
of n successor, but seeing no probability of
soon coining to nn agreement upon that head,
as well as fir.iguod by so long a residence in a
smalltown, they evinced an inclination to dis
perse. Tlie inhabitants, however, becoming
apprised of this circumstance, determined to
prevent their departure; and rinsing tlie gate-
nf the town, confined them within the palace,
released un-
enses; Provided Tlint no more land «liali be leporl-1 til an election was completed. This expedi-
cd for i-onfirmaiion. by virtue of this section, tlmn is! ent was attended by a successful result, and in
actually claimed by the party, nr than i« contained | two days tho want of a Pope, which tile Chufcli
within the acknowledged and nscertained boundaries i | ln( | experienc' d for two years, was supplied.-
"I the tract claimed ; nor shall the provision uf litis Jt algo set the example of a practice which lias
section authorize tho confirmation of any land here-1 | ie „„ af! | 1Pre( ] to eVRr sin( .„.

Old men, for the mnsi ptirt scptuagonnriBlts,
do not commisurc a journey so easily, or pursuit
such with ns celerity, couriers ofan embassy or
cabinet, riio interval therefore of a month nt
least is requisite, before the Sacred College
can enumerate its hillrompletncnt, nnd thcright
of exclusion be as fully exercised. Thence
arises the insigniiifinnce of the preliminary
operations,
Viiis right of exclusion is the great pivot
upon which nil the political manoeuvres first
turn, nnd is employed hy citcli power with grent
caution. Some Cardinal put forward, to
whom opposition may he mafic, who appears
to have some chance of Mteces.\ but who is
known to bo obnoxious or'hostile to one or
other of tin- powers. All are nw'nre that lie
will not be elected, hut endeavours u'rc used to
induce the belief that such an event is not im
possible. It is a false attack which saves on
ly to cover one of n more serious nati ve. II
eijher party should lull into the snare, the right
ol refusal is expended, and there is no fn.-ilior
remedy. Hut it is palpable that no very su
perior skill m diplomacy is requisite to render
nugatory so diinsy a stratagem, and tho pnjA'r
to which vve are indebted for the preceding in
formation, sai-ins to labour under little fear
that tho ambassador of France,JM. dr Chateau
briand, will he in that or indeed'in any other
Assoon as the repast was over, I told them V"
that they now knew tho grand secret of being y j\
able to marry with safety, for that if they, as
they might, if they would, live just in that mnn-^
ne>-, nnd no other, am! avoid the accursed tea
nnd all its accompaniments ; resolve to use
nothing in the way of fond or raiment which
the land of England did not produce, each ot
them might marry to-morrow ; and with their
incomes, might each save fortunes for their
children. There were we four (including my
Clark, or Secretary of Stale) who had dined
upon about one pound of bacon, about a pound
ami a half of pudding, a pound of broad, tw<p
penny-worth of beer, and u farthing’s worth o

ponce farthing, or less than three pence apiece.
Now, a young fellow will bo mari iedfor some

As soon as ilio Pope linn hieulitetl liis last
nnartments aro immediately prnpared in tlie
Vatican, equal in number to tlie tnctnhors of
the Sacred College. They are a species of
cell, constructed by joiners in tlia vast halls of
tlie palace, and are modestly furnished with
green or violet serge. No one of them is p
videtl with a chimney, tho want of which
Ktipplind by nAtniwon li-no.tGI. '1 tin * Lumbers
appropriated to tlie cardinals, as well ns ikon®
allotted lo the officers of their suite, who are
styled conclavists, and are shut up with their
superiors, are wrapped in almost utter oliscuri
ty, nil the windows being entirely darkened ex
eept the highest pane.
The demise nf the l*opo nnd the vacancy of
tlie Holy See are announced liy the bell of tlie
capitol, which is tolled during nine days nud
nine nights without intermission, that being the
period set apart for tlie celebration of tlie fit
nernl ceremonies. On the ninth day tiio Imdy
of tlie deceased Pontiff takes the place nf that
of his predecessor in the basilisk of St. Peter
and in the upper ptirt oflltc chapel of St. John
On each day mass is celebrated in commemora
tion of the defunct with tlie grentest pomp.-—
The Inst day witnesses the performance of the
obsequies, on which occasion, it is almost su-
pnrlliious to remark, th it all the tnngmfieenee
of tie- Homan Catholic ceremonies is displayed.
Outlie death oftiie Pope, the sovereign au
thority devolve* upon tiio Sacred College, and
tilt- executive power is exercised by tlie great
chamberlain.
Consequent upon that event also is the revo
cation of the powers of the embassadors nt
Home, who only resume them when they have
exhibited new credentials from their respective
courts, nnd obtained their ratification from tin-
Sacred College.
The legal term for tiio opening of tuc con-
clnve is din ing the ten days subsequent to tlie
decease of tlie Pontiff, hut it rarely happens
titnt tit® necessary arrangements ofthe interior
of tlie Vatican nre completed nt tlie appointed
time. It is therefore ctistomnry to prolong tlie
term for throe or four days, assigning as a pre
text tlie imperfect stale of ilio preparations,
though tho real cause is tlie ndeessity of allow
ing time for the absent cardinals to repair to
Koine. L"o XII expired on tlie 10th of Febrti
ary, consequently on the of(d or 21th of the
same month, tiio conclave was ripened.
This measure is sufficient to facilitate the
timely arrival oftiie cardinals who reside iu
Italy, but not to effect the assemblage nt tlie
proper moment, of those who dwell ill more
distant countries. Nevertheless, the conclave
eomniences ; though only, it i* conceded, for
the snko of form. Mutters destitute of all in
terest occupy the early attention ofthe Kacretl
College, hut after tlie successive arrival of tite
French. Austrian, .Spanish, Polish, Amliassa
dors, &c. their operations assume n more se
riotis diameter ; until then, to employ a popu
ler French expression, “on pelote en attendant
parti®.”
This circumstance is not merely the effect
, i nf n simple management. The three greet
d him"hai k to th® j Catholic Powers, France, Austrin, nnd Spain,
are respectively entitled to exercise a right, of
which each is with reason extremely jealous.---
This is the right of exclusion, which consits in
imposing an absolute vein upon whatever indi
vidual is regarded as likely to entail any danger
upon (their policy. Hut iheso powers, having
no longer kny representative at Home, would
not Ire able to make known officially the can-
lidafo to whom they might object, and the
cardinals of each country could riot lie present
in time to support ami avail themselves of that
objection. It is therefore indi-pensable to
await the arrival of new credential*, and of nil
tlie foreign cardinals. Hut a delay of thirteen
or fourteen days would not he sufficient for tho
necessary diplomatic arrnngoments. The min
isterial courier must first be despatched to the
nuncio, who then notifies to the Kings the dealli
of tho Pope. On the reception of this intelli
gence, the King addresses a circular lo tlie car
dinals residing within his dominions, contain-
tabling hiR orders or permission for them to
repair to Rome. This is an indispensable for
mality, since Cardinal do Houillon presumed
in similar circntnstnnees to iufringo a formal
prohibition of Louis XIV
luesoftlinl minister the Journal des Debnts
passes a lofty encomium, and intimates that In-
enjoyed the entire confidence ofthe late 1’,'pc.
The sumo pnper deprecates, in no measured
terms, tlie elevation of any cardinal who is de
voted to the interest of Austria to tiio pontifi
cal throne. It entertainssertpusnpprohenaions
of the consequences of such no election, which
would have the efloel, according lo its opinion,
of subjecting entire Italy to tlie deplorable in
ffuonoe of ,11. de Metternich, and of causing the
re appearance of those restless doctrines nnd
turbulent men, who during the pontificate of
Leo XII were restrained » it bin certain hounds.
How far these forebodings nre entitled to at
tention we arc not competent to decide ; but if
there bo tlie slightest foundation for thorn, we
enn only repeat with tlie Journal Di meliorn
piis!
Finally tlie conclave enters actively nml ill
earnest upon the discharge of its duties. Its
powers nr® exercised by three cnrdiuuls, clto
sen from th® three orders (.f the sacred college,
that ofthe Cardinal Bishop*, Curdinnl Priests,
nnd oftiie Cardinal Deacons, who nre changed
everyday. It is to those ephemeral delegate*
ofthe supreme authority, that on a day nppoin
toil tiio ambassadors of tlie different govern
menlH represented nt Rome, nre obliged to pre
sent their ere Icntiuls. 'Phis cercinoninl occn
sinus a pompous spectacle, which compensate:
in great measure for tlie privation ot the amuse
ments of tho carnival and of the theatre, ami
oven of tlie employments of th® liar, which the
inhabitants of the city suffer in consequence of
a Pope’s deconse. The ambassadors nro pi*
red on tlie outside of the entrnneo gate, * 111 '
there address the three cardinals in a sti't'I'C"
discourse, to which it to whom one of |icm rc
turns nn answer. When the Pt* Is #ieclod the
andinssadorsnre again tin'* r ’heneressityofob
tnining fresh letters -*' cr odencc, and the pro
Mentation hunts cause of additional
point- lestivity.
oueli is tlie substance of tho article in the
Journal des Dehuts, tlie information contained
in which, it is nssnrted coma from n source
worthy ofimplicit credit. It is ardently to be
desired, tlint tlie couelave now in session may
he as fortunate in its choice ns the precnoding
one, ami give to the Catholic world a Pontiff'
entitled fry his genius and his virtues to fill tlie
j station upon which tho varied excellence of
Leo XII, has sited so hallowed n lustre. For
under whatever point of view we regnrd tlie
diameter of him whose loss is now so goner-
ally nnd so justly deplored—if we contemplate
him either us u scholar, or u Pope, or n snint-
we will be constrained to acknowledge tlint
Ids name is worthy of being transmitted to pos
terity in conjunction with those oftiie most em
inent of Ids predecessors who have adorned
tiio lofty station from which he lias been Hnntolt-
ed by dentil. R. M. W.
COHHETTS ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN,
ff’ho hare the laudable tcish lobe married.
I am tempted to relate an anecdote which
will afford, I nrn certain, great consolation to
muny young persons of both soxi s, who would
feign obey tlie divine precept (increase and mul
tiply,) but who are deterred from the fear of not
being able to obtain a livelihood after they have
entered upon the holy work. Not long ago,
two young gentlemen, who have genteel cm
ployments in London, dropped in upon meet
my farm, about 11 o’clock in tit® forenoon. Eapb
had his gun and they had a pointer between
them. One of them I had known pretty near
ly from his infancy, the other was u stranger to
me. I asked the young man whom I knew,
whether he was married, the answer was, n con
gratulation to himself, he was not. | inquired
after another young fellow that I hud known
formerly : lie wns married, I was told, and great
sorrow was expressed ^pr the poor fellow. I ap
peared, as I r-ally was, uneasy, to a considerable
degree, nt hearing this sort of language from
young men, & began to fear that Maltltus and
Cnrlile hud made great & general impressions
by their teachings. I foil ml, however, that the
grent obstacle to matrimony, wns tlie fear nf not
being aide to provide for tlie wife and family
While I was talking with these abstemious
bachelors, upon the subject, the maid catno to
lav my cloth for dinner, it being now within a
few minutes of twelve o’clock. Seeing two
gentlemen with me, site drew hack, held the
cloth up to her body, nnd looked mo very hard
in the face. “Go on,” said I, ‘lay tlie cloth,
and when you have put down the men’s dinner,
bring mo a cut off their joint," My visitors
rose, preparing to go nwoy, nnd not interrupt
m® at my dinner. I begged them to lie seated,
nnd to do me the pleasure of dining with me ;
which they seemed not to disrelish by any
means, having probably had ten-slops for their
breakfasts, and having hail their appetite shar
pened by coming from town on a frosty morn
ing with guns in their hands, rambling back
ward & forward amongst tlie hedges & hushes
Dinner wns quickly served. About four pounds
perhaps of solid fat bacon, without one morsel
of lean in it, but exquisitely good, rosy as a
cherry, und transparent as glass. This was the
joiaf|"f which they had lienrd me speak, along
with it came the pudding, mad® of com meal
and mutton suet, u tlisii of Swedish turnips,
boiled along with the bacon, ns tlie puddin
hnd also been ; besides those a loaf of bread
made partly of rye flour, and partly of corn
meal, mid a full pot of fresh beer, thirty gallons
made ftotn a bushel of malt. Wo drew up to
the tnlde without my offering any apologies
seeming to look upon tlie dinner as a matter of
course, being quito proper for me to invito them
to tuke a part of; nnd without nny ceremony, I
furnished their plates, which by-the-by, ns well
as the dishes and beer mug, consisted of good
solid pewter; nml to tny agreeable surprise
they not only played a good knife nml fork, but;

FIRES—By M.Caruy.
It is probable tlint there never was an in
stance of a simple, chenp nml efficacious plan
uf accomplishing nn important object, so often
fruitlessly urged on the public attention, ns the
mode of preventing tlie extension of fires by
providing a sufficient supply ofconrso cloths to
■spread over tlie roofs of houses near such ns
arc in flames. It was first suggested^ in the
Port Folio, about the time of its commencement;
nml has been since urged above a dozen times
in various papers in the tuned States—but
hi'herto in vain. 1 annex the plan :
“ Procure as many coarse und thick cloths,
of suitable lengths, ns will suffice to cover the
roofs often or a dozen houses ; and ns soon us
ti fire breaks out, spread them over the roofs of
the eircumjaeent houses, keeping them con
stantly saturated with water by mentis of en
gines. Two engines would,in such eases, af
ford more effectual protection against tlie
spread of fires, than six or eight playing ,on the
naked roofs. For however numerous tlie en
gines mny he, and however grent tlie quantity
of water they discharge, the roofa, in ’Wo min
utes .titer tlie engines cease, become as com
bustible ns before tiiey began. Whereas, u
single engine, plnying moderately on roofs cov
ered with cloths, would afford protection to tho
houses on each side of tlie one in flames, how
ever violently they might rage.
“Although this plan would be highly bene
ficial every where, it is peculiarly important iu
places where water is scarce, ns is the ease irt
various towns and cities of the United States.
So far as regards expanse, lltere cannot be a
doubt, that the cost of a single engine would
purchnso cloiliscnotigli for tlie largest city in
tlie Union ; nml if this plan were adopted, half
tho engines now in use would lie sufficient
It might have been supposed that tiio benefit
derived from the use of a few blankets, collec
ted occasionally from beds, in arresting the ca
reer of the devouring flames, would iiavo re
moved all dntilit ns to the cflicary ofthe cloths
in question, which would be far superior to
common-blankets, ns covering at once tlie entire
roofs of houses, independent of being ut all_
times ready lo be conveyed to tlie scene of
destruction with tiio engines. I have seen
three buildings at the corner of n street, in
Newlmryport, the roofs of which were cover
ed with blankets, preserved from injury, while
the houses on both sides wero burned to the
ground, and the flames were frequently blown,
by a high wind, over the blankets, which were
preserved in a state of saturation, and thus nr-
, o,;tcid the progress of the flames.
It appears (but from the 1st of January to tho
ffd of December, 1823, there wore 131 houses
injured, or totally destroyed by fire, in New
York, tlie loss estimated at tiio enormous sum
of $080,(100. From tlie sulutnry effects of blan
kets, used for tlie purpose of preventing the
spread of tiio fires, it is probable that tlie use of
cloths in question, would have saved two-thirds,
r at least one half, of this sum—but say only
one-tenth, or $68,000—what utr immense sa
vin® for so small an expenditure us would her
necessary! To any single office insuring
houses, it would have been well wortli while
u, pay tenfold tlie sum necessary for the pur-
This plan lias been before the public about 19
teen years. Suppose the annual loss through
out the United States, to ho only equal to that
experienced in New York, as stated above,
from Jnn. 1, to December 3, it would make ato-
tnl of about $13,000,000, a sum not beyond pro
bability, when vve consider tlie great frequency
of fires, and tho extent of the ravages in many
instances—30, 40,50 and n hundred houses nt
n time. It would bo n curious calculation to
try to ascertain how much of this loss might
have probably been prevented, by the adoption
of tlie plan in question.
By ihu recent lire in Augusta, it is stated
that between three and four hundred bouses
have been consumed—half a million uf proper
ty destroyed—-and two hundred and fifty fami
lies reduced to poverty. It is more ^lintl proba
ble, judging from tite experience.Qf tho use of
cotnmou blankets in preventing the spread of
fires, that the plan proposed would have pre
vented two-thirds of the destruction.
