A description of one of these rooms will suffice for the rest, and I will take No. 1, in which Poerio was confined. Some boards were fixed on the side of the cell on which was placed a mattress about six feet long and 2 feet wide. We saw some of these mattresses, which were filthy in the extreme. To render the punishment of imprisonment more severe, the view from the windows was denied to the unhappy in mates of the cell, heavy shutters were put up, which were kept closed, and in these shutters were pierced four round holes, of about an inch in diameter, but so high that the prisoner could not look through them. Behind these shutters were windows, which were necessarily closed also, so that no air could be admitted, and the same stench that rendered the cells of the Prefettura pestiferous must have been inhaled by Poerio and the other victims of tyran nical persecution. These shutters were useless as a precaution against escape, inasmuch as not on:y was there a heavy iron grating to each window, but, supposing this impediment to escape had been overcome, the height of the window from the ground was so great that any person attempting to leave the prison must have been dashed to pieces. But every species of suffering that the ingenuity of tyranny could devise seemed have been in flicted on the prisoner. Th ere i s ne cell so lo w as lo not to admit of an upright posture. In this cell was confined a pt named-Saro. He was a cousin to Agesilao Mildho, and, being his cousin, and for no other reason that I could learn, he was suspected of being implicated in a conspiracy with his cousin. I was told that a sort of wall was built in one corner of the cell, out of which inclosure the pri soner could not stir, and at different periods vases containing the filthiest matter were emptied upon him. In No. 7is a large sketch on the wall of a Madonna, and scratched on one of the folds of the garment are these words :—" Virgine imma colata, liberate "quest'uomo innocente," and on the other side I saw the following inscription, evidently written by a different hand :—'' Virgina Santis sima, ajutate l'innocenza, 20 Marzo, 1860 ;" thus showing that the unfortunate prisoner was con fined there up to the very time when Garibaldi made his attacks on Palermo, one of the conse quences of which was the pardon or release of many political prisoners. In cell No. 8 was also inscribed—" Guglielmo Martinese de Lecce sepolto vivo per 4 mesi in questo carcere nel 1860." On descending the staircase, but before leaving the building, we perceived a sort of cavern hewn in the rock. It was a long subterranean passage, the end of which was walled up. The people denied at first that it was ever used as a place of confinement; but there were apparent traces of the contrary, and the officer of the prison, on being pressed, said that he would not declare that it had not been so used. Leaving the Santa Maria Apparente, we ascended, some on mules and some on foot, to the fortress of St. Elmo, which crowns the city, and which has for years and years kept its inhabitants in awe. After enjoying the glorious view which we witnessed from the ramparts, and which is the finest in Naples, we proceeded to the subterranean prisons by a series of inclined planes; over the entrance to which might be written with great truth the well-known words of Dante, " Lasciate ogni veranza voi the entrate." The first cell into which we were shown was No. 13. It was dark, damp, and gloomy; at one end of it was a small grated window, being a borrowed light. In this cell Felice Cappellano was immured for eight months. Near to it a small winding staircase led to a sort of well, in which a man could only just stand without moving from right to left, and which we were told was con structed by order of the King. Another staircase led to the " Nuova Galleria," a large vaulted room with a broad piece of stonework built round parts of the two sides, which we were told was the bed Fifty-three Swiss soldiers who had mutinied were confined in this chamber. It would be useless to enumerate the different cells and dungeons and the places of terror which were shown to us. If I at tempted to do so I should only repeat the horrors I have most imperfectly described, and if I were to enter minutely into the details of St. Elmo I should fill at least two sides of your paper. It is probable that this great fortress may be dismantled by Gari baldi ; at the present moment the guns which were pointed towards the town, and which were a con stant source of terror to the inhabitants, are re versed in their position, and the fort is occupied by the National Guard and a few of the Bersaglieri from Piedmont. It was my intention to visit the prisons on the various islands, and I commenced with Ischia. The castle in which the prisoners were lodged is at the north-east point of the island, and about 20 miles from Naples. It is built upon a rock, which is approached from the mainland by a broad cause way. After passing through the gates at the end of the causeway, and winding our way on mules through the tortuous passages that led to the upper part of the fortress, we were shown into a room recently occupied by some criminals. We had not been in this room three minutes before one of the party, who wore white trousers, gave the alarm that his legs were covered with vermin ; and when we got into the outer yard we were each rubbed down by the soldiers, in order to get rid of the animali that were swarming on our clothes. This fact will "speak volumes" as regards the state of a prison recently occupied. We gave up further inspection of that part of the castle, but before leaving the fortress I was anxious to see the place in which Poerio and other political prisoners were confined. We entered a guardroom in the centre r of which was a raised structure, somewhat like a table, but under the top part were gratings, through which the soldiers could look down into the rooms in which the prisoners were confined. We were conducted down a flight of steps to a lower floor, and approached a heavy iron-grated gate. Inside this gate and in the thickness of the wall was a "turnabout," similar to those for the exit of visi tors at the Zoological Gardens, but as high as the roof, and made of strong timber, and through which only one person could pass at a time. Inside this " turnabout" was another heavy iron-grated gate, and having passed this we were in the courtyard in which Poerio and others were permitted to walk in chains, and chained in pairs ! The courtyard is open to the sky, but has no side view excepting through the grated gates above de scribed. In the wall of the yard, and on the right, there is grating about three feet square, at the bottom of which is a nearly semicircular opening of about 12in. across and 9in. high. We were told that this was the " taverna," that the prisoners were allowed to buy some extra food if they could do so, and which food was delivered to them through the little opening I have alluded to. I inquired what became of those who could not provide the means of purchasing extra food, and the answer was, " They were obliged to do as well as they could on the prison allowance," which was described as both " wretched and insufficient." The other said that Poerio did much for his fellow-prisoners and that.he shared with them all he had. The room in which these unfortunate men slept and lived in chains was of the same character as those we had previously visited, and in this place Poerio was in carcerated for about two years us a political prisoner. I send this account of what I have seen, but h ave said little of that which I have heard, and of the horrors which were detailed to me. I intended, as I have already stated, to see more, but my inten tions were frustrated by the filth which I had to encounter, and which was perfectly intolerable. However, one additional scene was only the coun terpart of a former one. ties surround the present state of affairs here, but upon one point the people are unanimous, and that is the earnest hope and belief that the reign of the present dynasty is brought to a close. Your obedient servant, Naples, Sept. 22. LLANOVER. THE NAVY. The Foxhound, 4, screw, Commander A. Mitchell, arrived at Spithead yesterday at noon from Sheer ness. The Tartar, 20, screw, Capt. Hayes, arrived at the same time, also from Sheerness. The Tartar on anchoring exchanged the customary salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in- Chief. She is reported for China. The Landrail, 4, screw, Commander Martin, and the Spiteful, 6, paddle, Commander Wilson, both arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Woolwich; the former reported to join the Channel squadron, and the latter for the coast of Africa. Her Majesty's steam storeship Industry, Master Commander J. Hodges, which sailed on Saturday from Greenhithe on her way to the Island of As cension and Rio de Janeiro, put back to Woolwich the same day, on account of some displacement of her machinery. The hired transports Guadelete and Mystery arrived alongside the Arsenal pier, Woolwich, and commenced shipping shell and other war stores on Saturday. • The Trusty, 14, another of the iron-plated steam floating batteries which have been ordered to be overhauled and repaired at Chatham Dockyard, having completed her repairs, has been removed from the second dock and taken down the river, off Upnor Castle, where she is at present ' lying with the other steam floating batteries. During the time the Trusty was in dock she underwent some very extensive repairs, the whole of the worm. eaten and decayed- portions of her planking and timbers having been cut out and replaced by timber of a sound description. The portions of the bat tery loosened by the tremendous concussions and shakings she underwent during the recent experi ments made upon her with the elongated shots from the Armstrong guns were all firmly secured and strengthened, and the battery in every respect put in a state of the completest repair. On Saturday an order was received at Chatham from the Admiralty, directing that the entry of mechanics, artisans, and labourers into that dock eysatrd ab s is h m to e n c t e s a s e h a u v n i t n i further er f u d com er s,ll p t l he em s e e n v t e r o a f l hands. The Miranda, 15, screw steam sloop, 250-horse power, was on Saturday commissioned by Mr. Arthur Thomas, Master, for Commander H. C. Glyn, recently appointed to the ship. The Lizard, 1, iron paddle wheel steam vessel, 150-horse power, Lieut.-Commander E. E. Mann sell, has returned to Sheerness from Scotland and Berwick-upon-Tweed, where she has been engaged for the last three months protecting the fisheries. Steam was got up on Saturday on board the St. George, 90, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, in Ply mouth Sound, and she was taken into Hamoaze and placed alongside the hulk Vigo. The paddlewheel steam storeship Rhadamanthus, 4, F. IL Sturdee, master, was hauled, on Saturday, into the basin at Keyham Steamyard, and placed ender the crane to unload. The screw steamsloop Curlew, 9, Commander Shaw, at Plymouth, was swung for the adjustment of her compasses, on Saturday, by Commander Thompson, the Queen's harbour master. She is expected to sail about the 10th inst. The crew of the steamship Centurion, 80, Captain H. D. Rogers, C. 8., in Plymouth Sound, were paid wages on Saturday, and granted leave of absence. The training ship Implacable, 24, Commander J. W. Dorville, was removed on Saturday from her moorings in Hamoaze to moorings off Wilcove. Steam was got up on Saturday on board the gunboats Goshawk and Partridge in the basin at Keyham Steamyard, to try their machinery. The repairs of the screw steamship Donegal, 101, Captain H. Broadhead, at Plymouth, will be com pleted about the 10th inst.

On Saturday afternoon the London Rifle Brigade to the number of upwards of 400, mustered in Guildhall, and thence marched, with Lieut.. Col. Hicks, the commanding officer, at their bead, pre ceded by their bugle band, to the Shoreditch ter minus of the Eastern Counties Railway, and pro ceeded by special train to Forest-gate station. Alighting there, they marched to Wanstead fiats, less than a mile distant, and spent the remainder of the day until dusk in battalion and skirmishing drill, which was maintained with great spirit, each man firing five rounds of ball cartridge. The rest of the officers in attendance on the brigade were the two adjutants, Capts. Ewen and Smith, who with Lieut.-Col, Hicks were mounted, Captain Pawson, Surg. Probert, Liouts. Sewell, Simms. Finch, Hop kinson, Bainbridge, and Haywood, and Ensigns Carson, Stretton, Worth, Valiance, and Frodsham. The brigade was also accompanied by 25 of the cadet corps, now being raised in connection with it, who were in charge of Sergeants Ladd and Cuth bertson. Preparations are now being made for a ball upon a scale of some grandear in the interest of the brigade. The Court of Common Council at their recent meeting graciously corplied with an appli cation for the use of the Guildhall on the occasion, and the entertainment will probably take place about a week after Lord Mayor's-day. A committee of 24 gentlemen has been or is being embodied for superintending the preliminary arrangements, half of whom are effective members of the brigade, in cluding, among others,Lieut.-Col. Hicks and eight of the executive committee of the regiment. It is ' expected that the officers and many of the members of the various metropolitan corps, besides great numbers of the citizens, will join the festivities, and that alto ge th er th e ceremony w ill b e attended with considerable splendour. On Saturday the effective members of the 7th Surrey Rifles a ssem bl e d at the Sessions-house, Newington causeway, for a march out. Six companies were present, under the command of Major Beresford, Major Parrott, and the other offi cers of the corps. At 5 o'clock the volunteers fell into the ranks, and the order of the day to "march" having been given, the men, headed by the excell en t band of the 3d Surrey Militia playing "The Rifle mens' March" and other martial airs, paraded through the streets two deep, down Newington causeway, past the Elephant and Castle, to the parade ground in Mr. Nesbitt's field, Kennington. lane. On arriving at the parade ground the volun teers went through the evolutions of a light infantry field-day, the various evolutions being performed in a skilful and accurate manner, which reflected con siderable credit on the Major Commandant for the manner in which he has brought the 7th Surrey to its present high state of efficiency. Since our last notice the men have improved wonderfully in their military education, their movements being now per formed with that precision and regularity which is witnessed in regiments of the line. In the evolu tions of bodies of volunteers it is generally noticed that they often fail in executing the manoeuvre technically known as wheeling round. The 7th have, however, by their constant and unceasing at tention to the minute details, mastered this difficulty, their wheeling being executed in beautiful style. Ten rounds of blank ammunition having been handed to the men, they were exercised in firing in companies in volleys, &c. The fine weather attracted a considerable number of spectators, the ladies tak ing great interest in the movements of the volun teers. At the conclusion of the field-day the men marched back to the Sessions-house, the band play ing various airs. - In the evening a meeting of the Volunteers was held in the Sessions-house upon the general business of the corps, Major Beresford pre siding. The gallant major, on entering the room, -was received with loud and enthusiastic cheers. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, said the meeting had been called to consider important business. Anything was 'important when it affected the pockets of tha men. As their numbers were about to be increased by the addition of another company from an eminent firm in the neigh bourhood, and as the present headdress of the corps was not of a military character, the new com pany were waiting the decision of the corps as to the kind of head-dress to be adopted, and that was a part of the business that evening. He re commended them to adopt the peaked cap with a ball at the top of it. The ball was of a military character and he wanted the 7th Surrey to be pre dominant for its military appearance. (Cheers.) The plume of feathers at the top of the cap did not look military, and if they adopted it he should be compelled to resign his commission. (Cries of " Plume !") After a discussion the Major's sugges tion was adopted. The chairman then said the amount of subscription to the band fund for the last month was only Id. It was smaller by degrees and beautifully less—not beautifully less for him, as he had it to pay. A compulsory payment of 2s. 6d. per quarter from each member was agreed upon to support the band, and the proceedings terminated with three hearty cheers for the Major and his officers. Thirty-two members of the Bth Surrey (Epsom, &c.) Rifle Volunteers competed on Wednesday last in shooting for prize medals given by Mr. Robert Carter, Treasurer to the Epsom Committee— five rounds each, at 600, 300, and 200 yards range, with the following results :—Private Keeling gained the trst prize, a silver-gilt medal, making seven points at 600 yards; Privates R. Wood and Radford each made seven points at 300 yards ; and in shooting off the tie the former gained the second prize, a bronze medal, and the latter gained the third prize, a plain medal. Captain Hastie made 10 points at 200 Tirds, and received also a plain medal. The Birmingham Volunteer Corps had the las t field day for the season at Malvern, on Saturday. Soon after nine in the morning the companies mustered 700 men, exclusive of officers ' • they pro ceeded to Malvern by sp ec i a l t ra i n , Major Mason commanding the force. After arriving at their destination, the companies were formed, the men looking really in first-rate trim. Earl Beauchamp reviewed the corps, which was put through various evolutions, each of which was efficiently performed. The men were marched in companies past the re viewing officer at quick time ; then in close column; solid squares were form e d, an d various man oeuvres oeuvres gone through ; the s kirmishing confused and interrupted, andwasp ut sham out by the number of spectators; a The men fight concluded the proceedings. 1 were afterwards entertained by the ir officers, and returned to Birmingham in the eye R A em . g ~ inspected On Thursday Lieut.-Col.

Mr. Wontner appeared for the trustees of the' turnpike trust, and Mr. Lott, jun., for the defen dant. silver v r e i a r It appeared from the evidence adduced on a R m ifi ed es al to vv a a l s lo t w o b former occasion that Captain Ebsworth, comman dant of the ith Middlesex Rifles, offered a prize of a silver medal to be shot for by his men on the first day set forth for ball practice. The corps, the head-quarters of which are situated at Birch's-build ings, Islington -green, have no butt of their own, and it has been the practice of the adjutant of the Vic toria to that corps at Kilburn. The 11th ult. was be them contested the use of the b o u n t t t b h e e l belong ing of the regular field - days appointed for ball practice at Kilburn, and it was on this day that the prior (the 10th) Captain Ebsworth ordered of a tradesman the ammunition for and it was promised that it should be sent down by horse and cart to Kilburn. The promise, however, was not kept, and Captain Ebsworth on the morn ing in question, ordered the defendant to go to the West-end and get 1,000 rounds of ball cartridge, each round weighing one ounce and a quarter, and convey them in a cab to Kilburn,where he was to meet the corps. It was whilst he was riding in this cab with the ammunition that toll w as de manded of him, and which he refused to pay, alleging that he was on duty at the time. in con sequence of this refusal defendant was summoned. In reply to questions of the worthy magistrate, Captain Ebsworth said this meeting would haver taken place at Kilburn whether he had offered his prize or Lot. Ile gave it as an inducement to his men. It was not a select meeting of marksmen, but the regular meeting for ball practice. Mr. Mansfield now delivered his judgment as follows :—This case was argued before me on the 29th ult., and adjourned to this day for judgment. The facts were not contested, and the evidence was to the effect that, on the day in question a volun teer regiment assembled for ball practice at, Kil burn, on which occasion a prize was offered by the commanding officer for the best marksman in the regiment. This latter circumstance, however, itz no respect altered the character of the meeting, which, it is admitted, was a regular meeting of volunteers for drill and exercise. The ammunition to be used upon this occasion was to be entrusted to the defendant, and he was commissioned to convey it to the place of meeting. For this purpose he hired a cab and proceeded to the place of meeting with the ammunition in his charge. Toll was de manded, and refused at the gate, and this refusal is the ground of the present summons. For the defence is argued that there is an express exemp tion by a clause in the Turnpike Act in favour of volunteer infantry, the clause directing that no toll shall be claimed or taken" on any carriage convey ing volunteer infantry," and the clause then pro ceeds to exempt the horses of cavalry volunteers when proceeding to exercise and the like public service. On the other hand, it is contended that, though the words " any carriage" appear large enough to comprehend every species of vehicle, the interpretation, according to the known rules of dealing with acts of Parliament, must be limited to carriages conveying infantry on a march, or supplied by public authority, and not merely such vehicles as a volunteer may retain at his own charge for his personal ease and conve niences, and a decision of one of my learned colleagues was cited to that effect. If that de cision were binding upon me my duty would be a very light one, viz., to ascertain whether the case before me rested upon the same grounds as the de cided case. This summons, however, is in reality brought before me de novo, and whatever respect I may entertain for what has been adjudged else where it is incumbent upon me to give my own opinion in the matter, and not merely to acquiesce in a foregone decision. The words of the act ap pear plain enough and large enough to support the case of the present defendant, and when I am called upon to admit a limitation which would produce a contrary effect, it becomes necessary to refer to the object of the Legislature in making mention at all of an exemption in favour of volunteers. This I apprehend to be readily intelligible. The volunteers perform an important public service at their own pri vate cost, a necessary part of such service consists of assemblage for practice, and to pass along highways and through toll-bars to the practice ground is inevitable in most parts of tha country. Such journeys as the one in question, therefore, are not undertaken for the private 'pleasure or advantage of those who make them, nor would they be made at all, except for the public service. It is, therefore, easily conceived that the Legislature should deem it. unwise to mulct volunteers in the tolls of turn pike-gates on such occasions. It must be admitted that hired carriages or private carriages are not ordered by authority to be provided for infantry volunteers going to or returning from exercise. I mean they are at liberty to 'proceed on foot if they so please; but the object of the act being, I presume, to encourage volunteering, it would be a strange anomaly to put such an interpretation upon very plain words as would have precisely the opposite effect. If the liability to pay toll now insisted upon be esta blished, its effect pro tanto would be, in most parts of the country, to discourage the attendance of volunteers at the practice ground ; for it is certain that, but for a more rapid method of proceeding to the practice ground than ordinary walking, a vast number of volunteers would be unable to attend at all. Further, if only wounded volunteers, or volun teers conveyed in carriages on a march, had been intended to be exempted—rare contingencies, after all, to occupy the contemplation of the Legislature —it is only reasonable to suppose that the language of the act of Parliament would be such as to give a hint of such intention. It may be further remarked that the use of such vehicles as have been supposed to be supplied by public authority would be quite anomalous in the case of volunteers. They supplY everything at their own cost and charges, jour neys and conveyances included; and any march of volunteers on duty that would believe, as public aid to convey them in a body is,l*.me the act vet without example. Finally, at the time was passed, the necessity that a large r equire distant volunteers must be carried ou s p e r o o n i Ve r y t a io n n ee o s f to the practice ground was, of the act are, I am n a s va a r f l oresaid, as it is now; and, large as the wor ds were principally, if not e uipt a volunteer under defendant.

Lex THE ARMY. Preparations for the election of the testimonial about to be raised at Woolwich to the memory of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery who fell in the Crimean war were commenced on Saturday, and the monument, which has been executed by Mr. J. Bell, the sculptor who produced the Guards' Memorial also, is expected to be in its place during the early part of next week. Some delay has been occasioned in its erection by a difficulty in procur ing appropriate blocks of granite to form the pedestal, one of which, unfortunately, was damaged while under transport to Woolwich. His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in- Chief has sanctioned the transference of Major Wel man from the 9th battalion in the Colchester gar rison to the Bth battalion at Pembroke. Assist.- Surg. O'Connell, of the 83d Regt , has arrived at the camp, and has been posted to the 10th battalion. A draught of the 61st Regiment, consisting of four Ensigns and 154 men, women, and children, from the Bth depot battalion, left Pembroke Dock on Friday last to join the service companies of their regiment at Plymouth. The names of the officers are Ensigns Madden, Hon. E. J. Chetwynd, Dash wood, and Long. The whole are under the com mand of Capt. Ashe, 85th Light Infantry, who rejoins on the completion of the above duty. The sth Field Battery Royal Artillery Depot, consisting of 240 non-commissioned officers and gunners, in command of Capt. Jones, at head-quar ters, Woolwich, received their route on Saturday for Sheerness, where they are to be stationed for the winter. With the desire of promoting a more intelligible intercourse between our own troops and those of our foreign allies, when called into the same sphere of action, Major• Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, with the sanction of the General Commanding-in-Chief of the army, has established a French class at the Royal Artillery barracks, Woolwich, for the in struction of the non-commissioned officers of the corps in that language. M. Baron, who has been attached for some years to Dr. Bridgman's and other military academies at Woolwich, has been appointed instructor to the class, which promises to be very numerously attended. The assembling of the class will commence to-day. The entire force of Chatham garrison was engaged on Saturday morning in a series of mancouvres, having for their object the instruction of the officers and men in defending the garrison from a supposed attack by an invading army advancing from the river and the direction of the Dover-road from New Brompton, the operations being precisely similar to those carried out by the troops at Chatham, assisted by the local Volunteer Artil lery and Rifle Corps, a short time back. The forces engaged in the attack and defence of the garrison included the Royal and Indian Engineer corps, the depots of the several East India regiments, composing the three battalions of infan try, together with the division of Royal Marines, the whole of the arrangements being under the im mediate superintendence and direction of Major- Gen. Eyre, commanding the garrison and Chatham district. The operations supposed an attack to be imminent at three different portions of the line of defences, extending from St. Mary's Creek to the Spur Battery and Fort Amherst, a distance of about two miles, the whole of which were defended by strong bodies of troops, aided by the siege gith The attacking party was a l so ver y s trong, and, _ ..0.

Sir,—ln the year 1851 Mr. Gladstone addressed two letters to Lord Aberdeen upon the state of the prisons of Naples, and on the manner in which po litical prisons were treated at that period. The revelations contained in the letters were so startling and so full of horrors that those who had neither visited this country, nor made themselves ac quainted, even superficially, with the administra tion of justice, could hardly credit the statements which they perused. But the letters have passed through 14 editions, and the material facts con tained in them remain uncontradicted. It is true that some months after they appeared the Neapoli tan Government of that day published an answer. But the answer did not deny the principal allega tions of the grossest cruelty and the most foul in justice which had been perpetrated under the rule of King Ferdinand. It evaded the real question at issue, and dwelt upon some slight inaccuracies in regard to details, without attempting to refute or to explain the glaring enormities and moat horrible facts contained in those famous letters. Since that period various communications on the condition of the prisons in those States have been made to you by your correspondent here, and last spring an in teresting account of the prisons in Sicily was for warded to you from the same source. As soon as it appeared the admirers of "the mild and beneficent Government" of the Roman States and the Neapo litan kingdom endeavoured to induce the public to believe that the statements contained in that account were incorrect. These endeavours were however, silenced by the very clear and circum stantial description given by a clergyman of what he had himself seen, and to which declaration he affixed his signature. I have not seen the pri sons so described—with the thermometer varying from 85 to 90 deg. in the shade, and a prevailing and most depressing sirocco. I have not visited Sicily ; but a few days ago, on going over some of the prisons here, I happened to converse with an official who had been employed at the Silician prison described by your clerical correspondent, and he corroborated all that was so graphically portrayed, and exclaimed, " Ali Signore, quello era veramente l'lnferno ; questo, in paragone, e Paradiso !" On being pressed he gave an account of the atrocities, surpassing those set forth in Mr. Gladstone's letters, and spoke with an evident feeling of horror of the scenes he had been compelled to witness. Having obtained the necessary order, and accom panied by some English gentlemen staying in Naples, I visited a few days ago the cells of the Prefettura, the prison of the Santa Maria Appa rente, and the dungeons of the Castle of St. Elmo, and I will now proceed to give you some account of that which the official, to whom I have already referred, set down as Paradise in contradistinction to the prisons of Sicily, which he described as Hell. But he spoke of these prisons as a comparative Paradise when they were filled with prisoners —when those unhappy men were the subjects of persecu tion, when the law was set at nought, when men on the merest suspicion of an officer of police were plunged into prison, and dragged out their miser able existence chained together in couples, perhaps for years, and denied the trial which the constitution provided. It is a well known fact that innocent men have been kept for months and years in filthy cells, chained, perhaps, to a criminal from whom they were not separated for any purposes. But this I was told was " Paradise" in comparison to Sicily. The first place we visited was the Prefettura. This large building is entered under an archway which leads to a square court, round which are various offices; among them are the printing-presses of the official papers, &c. Having passed through the arch way and crossed the central court, we were taken to a low archway, exactly opposite that under which we had entered the Prefettura. An officer preceded up with a lamp and unlocked a door beyond and on the right of the low archway. We were then shown into a dark room. We ordered the door to be closed, and the light was very imperfectly seen through an iron grating over the door. The room was about 12 feet square. We were assured that it had been cleaned out some time ago, but the smell was very bad. At the end of this room was a door, which, on being unlocked, was found to open into another cell. Into this place no light or air could enter. It was about 10 feet wide by about 16 long; near the door it might be 9 or 10 feet high. But a few feet from the door the roof sloped down wards until it nearly touched the floor. These two rooms may be called the " lock•up" of the Prefet tura. They were used to receive persons of all kinds who were taken up on suspicion, and who were lodged there previous to their depositions being taken. These rooms were seldom cleaned, and were described as reeking with filth and every sort of abomination when they were occupied, and they were used for purposes too disgusting to describe and too horrible to contemplate. In these rooms persons were placed on bare suspicion, and there they were detained for eight or teri days, or more, at the arbitrary will of the authorities under whose orders they were arrested ! After leaving these cells and recrossing the courtyard we were con ducted to another room. We passed under an arch into a sort of vestibule, on each side of which there appeared to be places for the use of soldiers and others, with little light, and without doors or any current of air, or apparently any drain, for the filth was running over the pavement and the stench dreadful. Beyond these horrible places, which we passed on our right and left, there ap peared in the wall a door which the officer un locked ; we were then shown into a room about 20 feet square, without any light or air, and in which the stench was so bad that not one of the party could remain in the room for literally one minute, and yet this room had been cleaned out and is not now in use. What must have been its condition when the tyrannies practised by the late King were in full operation ! But in this room were placed persons of all de grees, suspected of political or other offences. They were left there for days without any trial or any inquiry, and we were informed by one of the offi cers that instances had been known of persons so incarcerated who, when taken out at the expiration of eight or 10 days, had been partially devoured by the rats, which swarm in this charnel-house. It is marvellous how any human beings could have ex isted in such a place for even a single day, without light or air, with the filth of the prisoners on the floor increased by that which flowed under the doorway from the places to which I have alluded. I have already stated that not one of our party could remain in this cell for a minute, but we were as sured that when we visited the place the stench was as nothing to what it was when in use. Such is the state of the " lockup" of the Prefettura. We then proceeded in carriages to Santa Maria Apparente. This large pile of buildings originally formed one of the monasteries of the city, and it is said that no less th an 180 monasteries and convents yet remain. The church of Santa Maria is high above the principal part of the town ; at the back of the church is the ancient monastery. It is en tered by a great gate, and on the left of the en trance irce m , with very eas y " r i sers " for steps, the former sl o thf u l i n h a bi tants of the monastery. After asce n di ng a b out 100 of these steps there is a grated iron d oor , d enot i ng clearly file modern purposes to which th e b u i ld i ng wellis the s u e i t t e e d . to has been applied. After mounting about 70 more steps there is another of these doors, and then ano ther which opens upon a long gallery used formerly by the monks, and on the south side of which are the rooms occupied previously by the members of the brotherhood, and more recently by the victims of the late Ruler of the Two Similes. These rooms are about 14 feet long by 12 wide. They have each a large window, from which there is a splendid view of the Bay, and facing south.
