Bleached and printed fabrics are quiet, and unchanged in value, except plain Turkey reds, which are, if anything, a shade lower. In twist there is nothing doing. Metals are very dull.

The religious instruction communi cated to her has had, so far, a soothing influence upon her mind. She has acknowledged her awful crime to the chaplain, and given minute details of its commission, all of which have been taken down in writing, and communicated to the sheriff, by whom the statement has been sent to the Lord Ad vocate, who will doubtless lay it before the Home Secretary. It is in effect as follows :—She states that she and her husband (who had been married ten years) lived happily together till they came to re side at Carpsbad about two years ago. Some time after that, she says, the deceased Ann Hannah acquired a great influence over her husband, which caused differences between them, and originated in her mind a jealousy of the deceased. On the morning of the fatal occurrence she went to gather some sticks for fuel, taking with her a rope with which to tie them, when Ann Hannah seeing her object cried, " Are you coming here to steal more of my sticks ?" An altercation ensued, and bloWs were exchanged. The prisoner • then returned to her house ; but, still heated with the quarrel, returned to Ann Hannah's house to give her .a beating, but with no intention, she declares, of taking her life. The prisoner no sooner entered the kitchen than she was met by Ann Hannah, who gave her a violent kick with a clog above the knee, inflicting a severe wound, the scar of which is still visible. The fight was then renewed, blows being strack on either side ; and, in the course of the - battle, Ann ' Hannah struck the prisoner with a wooden mallet or beetle (and was thus the first, if this account be true, to use this formidable weapon, which figured so much at the trial). Ann Hannah having dropped the mallet, it was picked up by the prisoner, who struck the deceased a heavy blow with it on the side of the head, by which she was stunned, and in the frenzy of passion she followed up this blow with others. The prisoner positively affirms that the mallet was not hers, and w as not taken by her to Ann Hannah's cottage.--Dunzfries Standard. THEATRE BY FIRE. DREADFUL SUICIDE IN BLACKHEATH 2 U.N . EL. The following is a more detailed account of this attempt than has yet been given :—" The passen geners by the twelve o'clock down train from Lon don-bridge, soon after entering the long dark tunnel under Blackheath, were affrighted ou Wednesday by the report of a pistol shot in one of the carriages, which reverberated along the vaulted. Tkof with startling effect on the occupants of dithost every carriage, many of whom imagined it to be some danger signal, and were in momentary expectation of a collision. On reaching the Charlton station it was discovered that a respectable-dressed man, apparently about fifty years of age, was crouching in a half recumbent posture in one corner of a third class carriage with a frightful wound over the right temple, which was bleeding copiously. The pistol was still firmly retained in his grasp, the contents having torn away a clear passage through the rim of his hat, passed through the occiput, and lodged, it is supposed, in the brain. Dr. Gatehouse was promptly in attendance, and, together with the stationmaster, accompanied the sufferer, who still survived, to Woolwich, where he was placed on a shutter and removed to one of the waiting-rooms. Two other passengers, a man and a woman, occupied seats in the same compartments, but they were unable to assist the inquiry, the place being at the time in utter darkness. It was ascertained by several documents found in his pockets that the sufferer's name and residence were as follow :—Henry C. Missing, draper and mercer, Waterloo-house, Tranquil-vale, Blackheath. A banker's memorandum-book, containing entries of money transactions and deposits at the London and Westminster Bank, 17s. in silver, and a return ticket from London to Blackheath, were found in his pockets, and on a leaf of his pocket book was written in a clear mercantile hand the following My most beloved Wife—l am in a peaceful state of mind this morning. My oppres sion is going off. I feel bow blessed it must be to be at rest ; and where, surely, we shall meet again, to part no more. When I die—and I know not how soon that may be—l trust you will not grieve for me as one without hope. I know Christ came to save sinners, and into his hands I commend my soul. I cannot help rushes of despair, which have 1 been on me so often of late. They are not to be got rid of. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away. I hope by one manner or another a decent maintenance will remain for you. If I live it must be otherwise, for my mind is utterly incapable of working out the bias towards a good result. Farewell, farewell ! God protect you, and forgive your distracted hus band !' Information of the event was telegraphed by the station-master at Woolwich Dockyard to Blackheath, and at half-past two the sufferer's wife and one of the neighbours arrived in a cab. It was, however, considered advisable that she should not be permitted to see her husband, who was still breathing but pulseless, and who survived till five minutes past three, when he expired, Dr. Gatehouse being constantly in attendance. It was stated at the time that the probable cause of the act was the withdrawal of his stock in trade , which he had held on commission, and a want of confidence on the part of the mercantile house in London, where, it was supposed, he had that morning made a last and successful attempt to redeem his credit." ANOTHER FATAL ROCK OIL ACCIDENT.—An in quest was held a few days since at the Court-house, Keigh ley, before Mr. Thomas Brown, coroner, on the death of William Gill, a retired factory operative, whose death was caused by the ignition of some American oil which was being stored for use at Mr. Sugden's mill, William Bar rett, of Keighley, factory operative, deposed,—O° Fri. day week, at night, I was in the cellar of Mr. S u gden's old mill, in Keighley. I had taken in soma Yar n ' Tw° young men took a cask into an adjoining room. I was told it was oil. They pumped it out into a elate'''. I had closed the room I was in. I went throug h the roo m where the oil was. Tho men had a lighted lamp . I we nt to look at the oil, w hich they sail was likeivarta:barco 2 yards of the water, taking taking the la m p reaching in my hand. When I had got within oil it exploded and burst into a flame, the top of the room. One of the young me n ran for an engine. I ran for wet sheets. When I ca m© back th e c i stern h a d b een pulled over. The oil covered the floor. I saw the deceased come out of the room sally burnt about the face. Mr. Angus Cameron, o f NeighleY, surgeon, said—l was called to see the dec eas e 3 on the evening of last Fridayweek. He was very severely burnt in the face, neck, and hands. I saw little hope of his recovery. I continued to attend him till his death. He died from the effects of burning. The jury returned a verdict that " Deceased died from accidental burning from the ignition and burning of a quantity of rock oil." The jury recommended that great care should be taken in using this oil or storing it in an unpurified state. , BOR.4_ZILE S*7STQS~^`S?.. Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, a fire af very alarming character, and nearly attended with: fatal results, happened on the premises belonging t Mr. G. Bowes, rag merchant, Nos. 21 I, ad 22, Al— , fred-place, Newington-causeway. The discovery was made by a policeman, who roused the iomates, and sent off for the escapes and engines. Semnlens, the conductor of the Elephant and Castle escape, promptly attended, and succeeded in saving the lives of Mr. Bowes and a female. The engines of the brigade quickly attended, followed by Mr. Hodges' powerful engines and others. A good supply of water having been obtained the stand pipes of the engines were placed in the plugs, and they acted as hydrants, without the expense of setting the engines to work ; but the fire could net be extingui,h,± until the stock in trade was nearly destroyed an d the adjoining premises of Mr. Hopkinson,: saw and tool maker, damaged by water and removal. The cause of the fire is unknown. Insured in the Alliance and Northern Fire Offices. During the night another fire happened on the premises of Miss E. Brasier, confectioner, No. 62 1 Bethnal-green -road. As in the previous case, thcr cause of outbreak is unknown. 'The engines of the parish and three of the London brigade were early in arriving, and were brought into operation, but it: spite of the exertions of the firemen and a large 211p ply of water the flames continued to spread, and eventually the whole building presented a huge sheet of flame, threatening destruction to the pre— mises of Mr. Case, a builder, No. 60, and those of Mr. E. Harrison, a whip maker, No. 64. The fire men at length succeeded in getting the mastery over the fire, but not until Miss Brasier's premises and all they contained were destroyed, and the two ad joining houses considerably damaged by water and removal of the furniture. Mr. Harrison w ag in sured in the Phenix Fire Office, Miss Brasier in the Sun, but Mr. Case was uninsured. A fire also took place in the premises of Mr. J. Nelson, No. 20, Devonshire-street, Commercial-road East. This fire was caused by a spark flying out of the grate. Several of the neighbours rushed into the building and extinguished the flames, but nut before a poor little girl named Emma Nelson was frightfully burned over the whole of her body. She was taken to the hospital, but little hopes can he entertained of her recovery. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE .vATir The beautiful theatre, which was one of the orna ments of the City of Bath, and which since its erec tion in 1805 has contributed so much to the reputa tion of the city as a place of amusement by the excellence of the dramatic representations constantly presented, was yesterday (Good Friday) totally de stroyed by fire. It was built at a cost of about £25,000, and was regarded as one of the, if not the most compact and elegant of provincial theatres. The present lessee is Mr. Chute, who is also the lessee of the Bristol Theatre, and the last perform ance was on Wednesday last, when the sensation drama, " Peep o' Day," was splendidly presented. No business had been subsequently transacted, but on Thursday the chimneys were all swept, and a charwoman was in the theatre cleaning up. When she left all appeared safe, and it was not until shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning that smoke was first seen by a woman living in ►he vicinity issuing through one of the windows,which turned out to be the window of one of the dressing rooms. An alarm was given, and the police with the city hose, and the firemen of the West of Eng land Insurance Office, were speedily upon the spot. Five hoses were attached to the city water plugs and a copious supply of water obtained, but so rapidly had the flames spread throughout the building that in a few minutes the whole theatre was a cauldron of fire. The flames burst through the windows with terrific fury, and it seemed for a time certain that a large amount of property surrounding it must destroyed. The contents of the houses were removed, and the greatest consternation prevailed amongst the inhabitants, but by strenuous exertions the flames were confined to the theatre itself, the strong walls of which resisted their further pro gress. So rapid were the flames and intense the heat that everything within the theatre, even to the iron pillars that supported the tiers of boxes and gallery, were consumed or milted in less than two hours, and the place was a bare ruin—a well of burning embers—which continued to blaze and fizz under the copious streams of firo poured on them. lind the fire occurred at night the conflagration must have been terrible, as the police and firemen could not have cut off the communications with other buildings. The building was insured in the West of England and Norwich Union Offices for about £6,000, but this is wholly inadequate to its value. Besides, the magnificent wardrobe and valu able library were utterly consumed. Mr. Chute, the lessee, who is not insured, loses about £5OO, and members of the company and the orchestra are also sufferers by the fire. The origin of the fire is a mys tery. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean Yiewed the con flagration and were visibly affected. THE SUN, LONDOPT., SAIIJRDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1862. (IHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.

These were hauled over with the rest, and because no one present understood English two Piedmontese officers were sent for from the town to see what these letters contained. After perusing them for some time both declared they were not written in English, but in what language they could not exactly tell, and the younger of the two turned to question me. _ , " A savage yell burst from the crowd surrounding the table on which lay strewn my desk and papers, and I saw the " delagato" holding up a photograph of my mother in one hand and a portrait of the King in the other, on the back of which was his signature. I tried to obtain them, driven is I was almost to madness by the ill-treatment J had re ceived, but was held back by two policemen, and my arms pinioned, while the operation continued. The portrait of the King was then thrown with that of my mother on to the ground. Some pre tended to tread on them, and: the delegate' spoke out a sort of form implying that the King and all who followed him were the most infamous of crea tures, to which the whole company shouted 'Amen,' and Viva Garibaldi !' " I was then taken guarded by ten policemen to the inn, where I was locked into a bed-room, two policemen being left with me during the night. It was 10 o'clock, p.m., when I reached the inn. I had not tasted food the whole day, and was almost fainting from exhaustion and the brutal treatment I had had to endure during the 11 hours I was de tained at the Delegation. The master of the inn, who knows me well, brought me some supper, and I went to bed, the policemen sitting beside me. I was not allowed to stir from my room the whole of the following day, being told that I must hold my self in readiness to go to Naples. At 4 o'clock p.m. they allowed me to telegraph to my Consul at Naples for the first time, begging his interference. I received no answer to this despatch. I was treated in the most shameful manner during the whole of this day by the police, who never left me, and was constantly assured of what the Piedmontese officer had menaced me with in their presence the preced ing evening—that I deserved to be hung, and that this would probably be my fate. I did not feelthat my life was safe an instant, and if I had not been so strictly guarded I should have jumped out of the window and fled for safety. "On Friday morning, the 4th, I was forced to dress myself in a few minutes, and hurried away without being allowed to touch a morsel of any food whatever. In the carriage were two delegati, two policemen, and myself. There were four loaded guns and three revolvers. The carriage was accomp an i e d by two mounted Carabineers. It was in this way that I was escorted back to Capua. I was there placed in a railway carriage, and arrived at Naples at 6 o'clock in the evening, having again been ob liged to pass a whole day without touching food. I attempted to drive to myconsul, but was surro un d e d by two or three men dressed in plain clothes, whom I had not perceived before , one of whom said, 'ln the name of the Questura,' &e., and I was half handed, half forced, into the carriage, and the unknown speakers followed. Arrived at the Questura, I am bound to own that I was shown every attention possible, the Questor giving me his office to lie down in, and sending for some refreshment for me. I requested to go to my Consul's, bnt was refused. At the same time the Secretary-General went himself to inform the Consul of my arrival, and of my wish to see him. The Secretary returned alone, saying that the British Consul had not found it necessary to come himself; and, as regarded the papers, which should be opened by the Questor, he (the Consul ) had said that the law should have its course.' Accordingly, witnesses being called, and the Ques tor having allowed me to name whomsoever I pleased for myself, the packet of papers taken from my desk was opened, the papers read, signed, and a proces verbal made of their contents. In this man ner the night of Friday was spent. I was cross examined, and refused to enlighten them upon what did not concern myself; nevertheless numbers of arrests were made that night from mere suspicion, others from their names having been found written in my book of addresses; among these latter was that of an old doctor, who had been recommended to me three years ago when I was ill, but with whom I had certainly had nothing to do in politics, for I had never seen him since. This poor old man is now in the same prison with myself. " The following morning (Saturday) Mr. Turner, the Vice-Consul, came to me, heard my complaint, assured me that the Consul would protect me as well as any other British subject, and then left me. I have never seen the Consul at all, and the Vice- Consul only once. I remained at the Questura during Saturday and Sunday, and am bound to bear testimony to the great kindness and consideration shown me by all the officials, and the regret ex pressed by the Questor at being obliged to act against me. I was also informed that the British Consul had been asked whether he wished me to be placed in conditional liberty, he answering for me, as in this case the Questor would have no hesitation in doing so. The Consul answered that he could not take any part, and that the law must have its course. " Accordingly, on Monday morning, at 7 o'clock, I was conveyed from the Questura to dm prison of Santa Maria Apparante. There, with all due re spect, I was placed in my cell, my hat being first taken from me and my things examined. I have not yet seen my Consul, and have no idea of what steps are being taken, or if any at all, either to hasten on my trial or procure my liberation. But as the Count de Cristen is in the same prison, where he has been detained nine months without ever be ing brought to trial, I have not much better to hope for. The injustice of the whole proceeding is ap parent ; the ill-treatment I have received monstrous. All proof against me is reduced to this,—that I car ried correspondence upon me which, if authentic, tended to subvert the present Government atNapl es- For letters written by others and given to me sealed up I am not answerable. There are no proofs what ever that I had taken any part in what comes un der the name of conspiracy, for I am alone, and have no associate, " At the same time, I am treated as a condemned criminal, and was for the first three nights obliged to sleep on the stone floor of my cell till I had ar ranged to have the necessary furniture of bed and chairs sent me from the town. " The situation of the prison is healthy, and I must own that the officials do not appear to do their duty with unnecessary rigour. They are respectful and well conducted. " My health is already beginning to suffer from the confinement, and would eventually, I feel sure, quite break down if I had to endure this life long. lam writing this in the night, as I should not be allowed to send what had not already been seen, either by the delegate here or the Questor of Naples. 46 JAMES F. BISHOF. gi The Prison of Santa Maria Apparente, Naples, April 11." AN "AFFAIR OF HONOUR."—On Tuesday, early in the day, an information wes taken before Mr. O'Donnell, sitting magistrate, at the Capel-street Police Court, by Alexander Staples, brother of one of the parties concerned, to the following effect That from information I have received, I have reasonable grounds to suspect, and do verily believe, that a hostile meeting is likely to take place be tween my brother, Robert llughes, and a man named Gerald Rochfort, and that arrangements have been made that the above -named parties are to meet this evening in the neighbourhood of Clontarf, at 5 o'clock, for the purpose of fighting a duel." Acting on the information received, a warrant was immediately issued for the apprehension of the gentlemen who were about to encounter each other with such a deadly purpose, and at betweenthree and four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day they were conveyed to Capel-street Police-office in a cab, and in the custody of a police officer. They were immediately brought before Mr. O'Donnell, who had not left the bench, and bound over to keep the peace, as well as to find sureties for their future conduct towards each other. The cause of quarrel did not transpire, but it is preowned there Was a lady in the case.— ih46lin Mail. .EMBELLISHMENT OF THO MANSION ROUSE. To-day the finishing stroke will be given to a work which has been in progress at the Mansion House for some months, designed materially to en hance the interior splendour and convenience of the official residence of the Lord Mayor s and executed at a cost of some £2,000 to the corporation of Lon don. As the fabric, about 120 years old, was origi nally designed and completed under the supervision of Dance, the architect, that part of it located be tween the vestibule and the entrance to the Egyp tian Hall, and now called the saloon, was a sort of courtyard, quite open at the top to the weather, and that within living memory. Many years ago, the pre sen t however, the saloon was covered in with a horizon tal roof in glazed compartments, but this w as a l ways rather unsightly, at so low an elevation a s t o de tract d f rom nothingthe in character harm o o n f y.m e r buildin g, with w hi c h Cubitt, Lord Mayor, with other gentlemen connected with the corporation, had long desired to see an altera tion in that part of the structure, and the Court of Common Council having willingly voted a sum of £1,700 for the purpose, he has cheerfully put up for some time with the discomfort attendant upon the necessary works with a view to the convenience of those who shall succeed him in his office, and to the general internal embellishment of the official residence of the chief magistrate for the time being. A very elegant curved roof, with panels or compart ments of embossed glass, designed by Mr. Bunning, the City architect, has been thrown over the saloon, supplanting the old flat ceiling, and some 10 or 12 feet higher. The effect has been to give a very im posing appearance to the interior of this part of the building, and most agreeably to light it up, pre serving at the same time a harmony with the gene ral character of the whole fabric. Simultaneously with this change the vestibule, saloon, and princi pal staircase have undergone a costly and tasteful process of embellishment, which for years past had been much wanted. Of these portions of the building, throught the whole interior, the ceiling, and the panelling and niches of the walls have bees painted in fawn, white, and grey colours, blended with a profusion of gold etching, and presenting on the whole a very handsome appearance. For the first time these improvements will be seen by a portion of the public on Easter Monday, when the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress will give the customary banquet, which will he served in the Egyptian Hall. Within the last few days, how ever, the hall has been partly denuded of some of the finest pieces of sculpture which adorn it, eleven of the principal figures having been removed to grace a department of the International Exhibition, including all the more recent ones by the most emi nent :of our native artists, in the production of which the corporation have from time to time lavished large sums of money. 211 E BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 27th of March, and from Calcutta to the 18th of March. We take the following from the Bombay Gazette of the 27th of March : " The English mail of the 18th of February ar rived in Bombay on the 12th of March.

" The Government of India has sanctioned the construction of a line of telegraph between Agra and Deesa ; the expense of such portions of it as pass through Jeypoor, Ajmeer, and Meywar, being borne by the States benefitting by the same. This does not refer only to the expense of construction but to the permanent maintenance of the staff and material requisite to keep the line in working order. After the cost of construction has been defrayed, each State will be assessed at the annual rate ac cording to the importance to it of the line, or the benefits derivable therefrom. "In consequence of the new notes of the paper currency not being numbered in Bengalee and other characters, the native Mahjuns, of Bengal, particu larly in the Mofussil, where the English language is little understood, intend to memorialise the local government on the subject, on the ground of great difficulties having been recently experienced by them in making proper entries of such notes in their account books.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Times of India of March 27.) The London mail of the 18th ult. arrived at Bombay on the morning of the 12th inst., bringing telegraphic advices up the 26th ult. The commercial intelligence brought by this mail is of an encouraging nature, and has had a favour able influence on our markets generally. As we are still without our usual telegraphic news t>ia Galle, per Calcutta IRE NEW BOTTLE TRICK. Clever as Frikel is acknowledged to be in his cabalistic art, it is to be doubted whether he has not lately been surpassed, at least in one part of his per formance—the bottle trick. How this wonderful act has just been capped may be briefly told. Within the last week or two the inhabitants of Denmark hill have been favoured with the visit of an indivi dual, who under the pretence of acting honestly, has enriched himself at the expense of the householders. The plan pursued by this person is to call early in the morning, while the family are at their matuti nal meal, and to hand to the servant who opens the door a letter, which upon being read turns out to be a circular, to the effect that C. Baker gives above the average price for old bottles. The consequence naturally follows that Paterfamilias advises Mater families " to get rid of all their old bottles, especi ally as the price offered is so tempting." The fellow is told he can have what he desires. Upon this he says he will call at 12 o'clock to give time to make the necessary arrangements. Accordingly at the ap pointed hour he arrives, and surveys the quantity of glass bristling in the hall, and declares that ho will have a large amount to pay, but still he w ill cheerfully make the disbursement, having require menteig for an immense quan tity o f bottles. He then n goes on to stat e th a t hi s car t b e ing in the h bourhood, taki ng awa y some b o dy else's store of old bottles, he should like to purchßee some old elothe,l, boots, and indeed anything of madam. She at length complies, and ransacks the wardrobe; the off er f or the things thus produced being ridiculously sma ll , on' unles e man the trifling aofglass and brass deli cately refused, observing but that o taownnaeyt sum be ac cepted he will no t take the large quantity of bottles the controller of the household give s wa y. M r . C. Baker i r in capacious bags coats, gowns, e t o r s w , s s, boots, jackets, frocks, collars, waistcoats, shirts, and o th er ar ti c l es o f wear e; v B s enough to supply the wants of Australia, New Zea land, or Vancouver's Island in clothing for a consi derable period. He at once pays the ridiculous price agreed upon when the sum promi • sed for the bottles Nvas taken i n t o consideration, at the same tituo in a tradesman-lik e manner insisting that 1 ic always lik€d to settle upon the completion of a transaction. The next stage in the proceedings is to get rid of any men or boys there may he by begging them to procure him as much straw as possible for the pack ing of the bottles. During their absence the tn?n rushes to the door to call an imaginary Jack to bring the cart, hut es the mythical gentleman eoes not answer, Mr. C. Baker then tells Materfcmi lies he will look after man and cart. it is perhaps un necessary to name that the researches of the adven turer become so extensive that ho is never seen again, unlike other conjurors, in the same place. As his visits, therefore, h ave recently been confined to the sweet south, the i n habitants of north, east, and c rest would do well to be fully alive, when the riv a l of the evil magician, who cried " New lamps for old" in the " Arabian Nights," is amongs them, to' preparation" for—the bottle trick. TILE ARREST oF MR. BISHOP AT NAPLES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I trust you will have the kindness to insert the accompanying letter from my brother, Mr. James Bishop, who has been arrested and confined in the prison at Naples on suspicion of conspiracy. I forbear any comment upon his letter, trusting that the insertion of it in your paper will in some mea sure obtain for him that justice which he has failed to receive alike from the hands of theltalian autho rities and the British Consul at Naples. The gross violence and ill-treatment my brother (an afflicted man, without the smallest physical strength) sus tained at the hands of the former before he reached Naples speaks for itself. I should be greatly obliged by your insertion of this letter with that of my brother. I have the honour to enclose my card, and re main, your obedient servant, HENRY BISHOP, Lieut. 89th Regt.

" I left Naples at 4 o'clock in the morning of the 2d inst., intending to go to Rome, and occupied the seat which is vacant for one passenger in the courier' which conveys the letters par terre, tra versing the route of Capua, Gaeta, and Terracina• At Gaeta I was asked for my passport, gave it, and received it back again without any remark being made. We continued our way till the carriage came to the Delegation, where it was stopped by four policemen, and I was forced out of the carriage, as they pretended to speak to the delegate. On going upstairs I found myself in a room occupied by a number of the police, and two young men who called themselves delegati. These were the same who had asked for my passport but a few moments be fore. I asked what they wanted, and what their motive could be in acting with such suspicion and roughness. The only answer I received was an order given to the police, who stood surrounding me, to search me and my luggage. I remonstrated, and showed my passport, which had the vise of the British Consul at Naples and that of the Roman Consul. " I was answered by a coarse laugh, and told to hold my tongue, for that I was a Swiss in disguise, and no British subject at all 'and that they, the two delegati, ' would teach the Government how to deal with all such reactionists: The order was given to the police to search me. My things lay already strewn about the floor, where they were left. Nothing was found among them. They then proceeded to search my person, stripping me to my shirt, and forcing me to take off even my shoes and stockings. This lasted some time, I refusing to submit, and was held by four policemen, while the rest stripped me of my clothes. Great violence was need, and I was left completely exhausted, being in a very weak state of health, and told in the most insulting way to dress myself. I expostulated, threatened, and asked, but all to no purpose, except to bring a torrent of abuse and bad language. Nothing had been found appa rently to satisfy them, and there only remained my writing-desk, of which they had not found the key. They threatened to break it open if of my own accord I did not open it. I refused to do so, declaring that I preferred returning to Naples, or sending a telegraphic despatch to the Questura ' and my Consul, who would be able to satisfy them. They refused to listen, declar ing that they were the authorities of the place, and as for my Consul, I had none, for the Swiss were no longer tolerated in the kingdom, and I was one of the last to be sent away.' " The courier then appeared, saying that he could not possibly wait any longer, and that if I were not ready to go on he must leave me behind. The two authorities answered for me, that I was detained by them, and could not continue my journey. I asked why, and was told that I had come with a false passport, and should be taken back to Naples. I protested, but in vain. The room was full of police, who prevented me from stirring hand or foot, for I was surrounded by them. " The courier was a Piedmontese, and said to me in German,—' But you speak German. I don't believe you can be an Englishman, for I heard you talking German to your friend who accompanied you to the door of the carriage at Naples.' He then turned to the delegati, assuring them that I was either an Austrian or a Swiss. The paper was then given him allowing him to go without me. " I have since heard that this man had suspected me, from a remark my friend hal made to me before starting, and that as soon as we arrived at Calm he sent a telegram to Gaeta warning the police to have me searched. This man was a Garibaldist, and is called Matteo. " As soon as he had left, I was again attacked, to make me open my desk. Having many letters which had been given me by friends to take to Rome, I persisted in refusing to give the key, which they had not been able to find. I was called the most obscene names by the two authorities, one of whom declared that he would see whether I was an Englishman,' and challenged me to fight him. I began to doubt whether I was really in the hands of the authorities, and feared to have fallen into the hands of thieves dressed in the uniform of the police, as this is a means employed almost daily in the provinces ; but the Sardinian flag and cross removed my doubts, and just then the Under Prefect entered the room. A cabal ensued, in which I could net make myself heard, and all I could perceive was that the Prefect laughed a good deal, and then left the room. " The fellow who had challenged me then came up, and, haranguing me after the manner of a savage chief, told me that I had given the last proof of not being an Englishman by not accepting his challenge ; that I was a vile Royalist, he was sure s u a 1 7 0 1 dsw fromts such his fist as s t his. at my of it, a n d h e wou ld t eac h m y ent ra il s t o res p e ct Italia and to k now th e wor th of the precio u s blood of such a r i Mybb chesta answer stwh that r t I broughtreel reeled back and fell over the chair which stood behind. Another man entered and poked his first under my chin, telling me it was all right ; I should soon be done for. Some time elapsed. They then agreed to telegraph to Naples, and after an hour, pretend ing that the answer had come giving them plein pouvoir,' they called in some 10 men of the National Guard, the mayor and judge of the place, and or dered the police to search me again. I was then literally stripped to the skin, and again left to dress myself. The key of my desk was found; they opened it, and amid the most coarse and obscene language they began to search through the papers it contained. There were three letters given me to deliver to friends of some of my acquaintances in Naples, in which reference was made to the efforts they were making for the return of the King. In another was a detailed list of the forces throughout the kingdom, which were armed and in readiness to begin the general movement as soon as the King should approve it. These forces amounted to 80,000 men. The rest of the papers were private letters, the - greater part of which were from my mother, In— to ors, ast ion• re into hen d a heat tho 7 is amo s is 01 D7(l 0 71d 61. 1 15,.. 1 18. 1 12,, 1 18.
