THE NATIONAL REGISTER. THE QUEEN'S CONDUCT AT NAPLES. A pamphlet has been published from which the following are extracts ; it is from the pen of an Englishman of great respectability, and with some of our Readers may gain credit in spite of the con. trary swearing of the Italian canaille. " I was at a masquerade in the gay theatre of San Carlo, at Naples, in 1814; among the distinguished persiemges present on that occasion I alum. sod her Royal Highness. The Attorney-General has asserted, in his speech, that she appeared that night in three characters: six. as a Turkish peasant, its a Neapolitan peasant. and as the Genius of History. I say, that I saw her Royal Highness from twelve o'clock till three, when the more respectable part of the company retired. As on Englishman I was mutually inclined to watch the steps of this distinguished character; at times she was in a box of the theatre on. masked, with Murat and his Consort; and times she was in the pit (which, according to custom, was cleared of its seats, &c.); and at times she was in the Ridotto; but during the whole of the time, viz. from twelve till three, when she departed, she was liabited in the character of a Neapolitan peasant. " Her Royal Highness was accotnpanieJ all the night by two ladies, and at thieve a man was with her, who ap peared to be in the rank aim attendant. She had sustained her assumed character, in which there was certainly no thing of indecency or lightness of carriage, with Glace and talent. Again, it is asserted that whenever her Royal Highness appeared at the theatre, she and her companions were generally hissed, and compelled to retire Oil account of the indecency of their dress. This is a bold assentor, but it carries its contradiction with it. What ! hiss the Princess of Wales out of a theatre! such a thing never could have entered into the heads of& Neapolitan audience:—they durst not do it; Murat would have sent the best man in his dominions to the castle, or to the petite., mohair (mad house), had he dared to idler such an insult to her Royal Highness. Ilow silly to make such an assertion! it carries lie—lie—written clear in its very face;—it required all die ignorance of the asserter to broach it, and he has plainly shown he knows nothing of the language, customs, and manner of Italy. A word to him by way of information. In the theatres of Naples, soldiers are placed to suppress, per force, any sign of tug mutt ;—no hissing or hooting is allowed even towards the actors on the stage; but, as for 11 , ssing or hooting a per ton in the house, they would as soon think of hissing their sun in the dog-days because lie shone too hut. I repeat, ' they durst nut do it. Somewhat too much of this:' that her Royal Highness never excited that remark and a.m. nishment by her dress and conduct, which some fair English ladies have since dune iu the sane theatre, I can assert. " Her It vyal Highness for several mouths remained at Naples, during which lime she was invariably received with every testimony of respect at the court and at the mansions of the most distinguished Neapolitan families. Among the ladies with whom she was most tamiliar were the Princess of Cassano, the Marchioness of Gallo, (wife to the Minister for Foreign Affairs), the Marchioness of Cavalcanti, and the lincliess of Sant'Arpino. " Her way of living, during her residence iu that de lightful capital, was *on the whole retired; her charities were incessant, and nothing seems to have been wanting to procure her Highness's assistance but the claim of real vast and " tier Royal Highness left Naples attended with the respect and good %lakes of the most respectable part of the community, and the prayers and blessings of many whom site had relieved iu the hour of want or on the bed of sickness. " 1 afterwards met with her Royal Highness one even• ing at the theatre of Pesaro. Tier Royal Highness was in a front box of the theatre, and seemed to participate in the wit and character of the piece (a comedy of Goldoni's) in such a manner as could only be felt by a person who had well studied Italy and its inhabitants. The audience paid her a %cry marked respect. " From this time I did not see her Royal Highness until one morning that I met her in the streets of Milan. In that city, the most polished and literary of Italy, she was every where received with a respect due to her rank, and a reverence and affection which only her great talent and superior beneficence and virtue could ensure. "In my excursions afterwards via the Lake of Como, I have fretprently seen her Royal Highness sailing iu a little boat, with a book in her hand, and a lady by her side. In my wanderings round that interesting country 1 have heard the name of ' La Principesas d'lnghilterra' (Prin cess of England) echoed with respect, and in the cot- tage of the pour that name was ever followed by the aspiration of gratitude, and prayers for her happiness and longevity." The Great Tandem Malch.—This match, which drew together many sporting characters, took place on Wednesday over a circle of four miles, at Attie ton, on the Ipswich road. Captain llawlinson, fur a stake of 300 guineas, undertook to drive two horses, tandem, 13 miles in an hour, and to lose a minute tbr every break from the trot; he had lately purchased the leader fur 1(R) guineas. The per. tiirmance was considered a great one, and time was backed freely. The following is the state of the performance Irma the umpire's timing : MILES. MIX. SEC- I MILES. BEIM SEC.
