" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Bitt ) whets something might be done to adapt the woo at home to the inevit able excess of women, custom, pride, the national love of independence, the'very ambition that sends all over the globe, and the nature of women it self, bring their own difficulties. Women are necessarily " spoilt" as compared with men. They have had gentler treatment. Their vanity, or at least their pride, has been flattered. They have been led to expect attention, and to depend on the other sex. Their early lire is too generally a race, with one goal. Their gossip, their reading, all the usages of society point to this. They are permitted, and ever. encouraged, to be comparatively idle. If they do but touch man's occupations, or even share man's talk, they are soon given to understand they are out of their sphere. No doubt, too, man is gene rally right. But while they are thus bred to be use less, and virtually promised that they shall be duly cared for, that promise is seldom fulfilled should they happen to miss their main chance. All the substantial arrangements of life—that is, everything except the little bit that is done in the drawing room, the garden, and the carriage, are for the con venience of the other sex. No wonder, then, that a woman at thirty is apt to be disappointed, and the subject of heartless mirth to men who are then beginning their career, with all their hopes before them. No wonder, too, that women so trained and so disappointed, so prepared exclusively for one career, which they miss, should be difficult to manage, wayward, capricious, unsettled, jealous, and loth to accommodate themselves to the necessi ties of a position which unaympathising observers can see so much better thar they ~But even, these ilifical Hear- vrcisla r existence of institutions specially provided to give fitting employment and an honourable sphere of duty for women, high or hamble, who have no household duties, or who must submit to go out into the world and take theit chance in the crowd. s. STATE OF AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, dated Oct. 29, says : About 12 hours before the Eioaperor of Austria re turned from Warsaw the following telegram was sent to the newspapers by th Vienna " Telegraphic Correspondence-Bureau," wh h, as need hardly be said, is under the control of th Imperial authorities: Warsaw, Oct. 26. "It is asserted that the m ting at Warsaw was of a personal character until e very last moment. During the Conference, which was held on Thurs day last, between the Sovereigns and their Minis ters, no stipulations were put to paper, and no kind of agreement was entered into. Not even a protocol was drawn up." In the foregoing telegram it is said that no agree ment was entered into by the Sovereigns " during the Conference held on Thursday ;" but the two Em perors, the Prince Regent, and the three Ministers had several short interviews,* during which they had time enough to come to an understanding. The three Governments have, however, such stringent reasons forkeeping from the knowledge of the world the resolutions taken at Warsaw that they are not likely to transpire until Cter hostilities have com menced on the Po and Mincio. A person of my acquaintance, who was at Warsaw while the Sove vereigns were there, says the Emperor Alexander was :ill -pleased with the reception given to him by his Polish subjects. " Between the latter and Hungarians there is a secret understanding, and French agents are supposed to keep up the commu nication between the two countries. The Russians in Warsaw were of opinion that the Emperor Alex. ander was so coldly received because the Emperor Francis Joseph was his guest, but the Czar was alone when the Polish nobles at Wilna refused to sub scribe to a ball which it was proposed to give in his honour. The Emperor of Austria, who was perfectly well received by the Czar, was in ex cellent spirits until he received the news of the col lision between the troops and the people at Pesth ; but he afterwards appeared to be depressed and ill at ease. Shortly before his Majesty left Warsaw he had an interview with the Prince Regent of Prus sia, and the two Potentates remained together so long that the departure of the special train was de layed a whole hour." My informant, in contradic tion to the assertion of the correspondent of the Vienna Prase, also stated that the Emperor Francis Joseph opened the ball at Prince Gortschakoff's by dancing a polonaise with the mistress of the house. As a matter of course, the Emperor Alexander al ways gave the place of honour to his illustrious guest, but his politeness appeared to produce an unpleasant impression on the Russian nobles, who are still extremely hostile to Austria. Almost the only Russian with whom the Emperor Francis Joseph conversed at the ball was Count Kisseleff, the representative of the Czar at the French Court. The relations between the Prince Regent of Prussia and the Austrian Monarch appeared to be excellent. The subjoined extract from a letter, which was written by the Warsaw correspondent of the Vienna Presse on the morning of the 26th inst., will serve to show how carefully every movement of the Mo narchs and their Ministers was watched : "At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the Emperor of Austria drove to the Belvedere, where the Czar and. the Prince of Prussia reside. Long before his Ma jesty—who was received at the entrance by his Im perial host—arrived, Count Rechberg had been walking in the courtyard in earnest conversation with Gen. von Manteuffel. After a time Count Rech berg was called into the palace and a conference was held. When it was over the Emperor Francis Joseph came out alone with a blue " heft" (some leaves stitched together like a copybook) in his hand, entered his carriage and drove without any escort to Lazienska. Three-quarters of an hour later Count Rechberg appeared, and shortly after there was a great and general movement among the diplomatists. In the evening it was related in the theatre that the Emperor Alexander, " though unwell," would leave for St. Petersburg the next morning, as the Dowager Em press, his mother, was ill and wished to see him." Several of the Vienna papers continue to affirm that things are progressing favourably in Hungary, but it is known that the statement is not quite cor rect. The old Conservatives are very unpopular in Hungary, and Moderate Liberals, such as Von Eotvos and Von Deak, will neither serve with nor under them. Men of all parties will, however, at tend the " Primatial" Congress at Gran, in order to draw up an electoral law which shall be in accord ance with the spirit of the times and the necessities ' of the kingdom of Hungary. The Hungarians in tend, as they themselves say, to " utilize" the con cessions recently made to them, which probably means that as soon as the Diet meets a formal pro test will be entered against a separation of Croatia, Sclavonia, the Banat, and the Servian Voivodina from the Crown of St. Stephen. Many persons, who a short time since thought it might be well for the empire at large if the Hungarian Diet relinquished its right to vote the supplies and to grant recruits to the Government, have entirely changed their opinion since they have read the statute which has just been given to the province of Styria. They (I speak of Hungarians) say that if they relinquish their rights to a Reichsrath it must be to one com posed of German and Sclavonic, as well as Hungarian notables, which cannot possibly be the case with such a ridiculous mode of election." Since the publication of the Statutes for Styria and Carinthia there has been a great revulsion of feeeling in Austria, and people openly declare that they have no longer any faith in the sincerity of their rulers. A Graz correspondent informs the Oesterreichische Zeitung that " perfect unanimity" prevails in Styria in respect to the merits of the provincial Statutes. Everyone loudly condemns them, and great sur prise is felt that the Government should, at such a critical moment, • promulgate laws which cannot but increase the discon tent of the non-Hungarian inhabitants of the empire. In the Statutes for Carinthia it was said that the Diet was "to give counsel" (Bierath üban) when provincial laws were framed, but Count Goluchow ski must have reconsidered thd matter, for the 4t Th a Conference which was held on I:llurcaiky, th e 25th tut" laded about as hour ea a half, Weiner Zeitung now tells us that the words " to co operate" ought to have been employed. The Ger mans in Austria appear to care but little about the historical rights of the several provinces, but they are exceedingly desirous that:all the nationalities should be properly represented in the Reichsrath, which they consider the last hope of the empire. When the "fathers" of the city of Pesth offered to make Gen. von Benedek an honorary burgher of the city, he declined the proffered honour, because the citizens had behaved so badly onTuesd ay evening. The General, who had previously allowed the muni cipality to care for the maintenance of peace and order, was so enraged at the conduct of the mob that he placed a powerful body of troops near the cemetry when the man who was killed in the even ing of the 23d inst. was buried. That the soldiers would, in case of need, have made use of their weapons cannot be doubted, for Benedek told the municipal authorities that if any attempt should be made to create a disturbance he would have recourse to extreme measures. On the 26th inst. the Bogy futar and Magyar Sajto were confiscated by the police. It does not admit of a doubt that the Go vernment made concessions to the Hungarians be cause it was afraid they would revolt at the very first opportunity if it did not. In fact, the reac tionary party opply says that the Court would not have yielded unless it had been obliged to do so. This Government is extremely anxious to obtain the support of the foreign press, but it is not likely to have it until it ceases to oppress the.

TEE PAPAL STATES. A letter from Rome, dated Oct. 27, says :—Gene- ral Lamoriciere's statement, published in the Gior • nale di Roma could hardly remain unreplied to by the personage whom it chiefly concerned. Its first and not unexpected consequence has been the trans mission, by M. de Gramont, to Cardinal Antonelli, of a note couched, as I understand, in extremely strong terms, and to which it is probable that his eminence will have some difficulty in replying. Penned, we may presume, under feelings of irrita- tion, the severity of its language is said to be such that it seems not unlikely an attempt may be made by the Vatican to induce its withdrawal. To apply For that of M. de Gramont himself is not a step which, under present circumstances, the Papal Go vernment would probably think it wise or useful to take ; neither is it thought probable that the retire. ment of M. de Merode is to be expected as a conse quence of the serious imputations cast upon him in the document that has just proceeded from the French embassy. Should M. de Gramont not obtain what he holds to be sufficient satisfaction for the wrong alleged to have been done, we may suppose that the note will be given to the world, as a reply to the Lamorici6re article in the Giornale. It ex- presses, I am informed, the writer's painful sur prise that the publication of such an article in the official journal should have been sanctioned by the Roman Government, which it accuses, without much circumlocution, not only of indiscretion in publishing telegrams (sent through its telegraph _ . _ office, but not officially communicated to it), but also of having distorted those telegrams—with an object declared to be manifest and implied to be un- worthy. The words _ colla forza (that France would interfere by force of arms) are denied to have been used. The addition is imputed as intentional to the Papal Government that is to say to M. de Merode. There was never, it is added, any question of war between France and Piedmont. Tue despatch to the Ancona consul from M. de Gramont was not transmitted in cypher, but in ordinary language, so that it might easily have been known to many persons, but its publica tion in the official journal could have proceeded only from some one in authority. It is supposed _ __ _ _ .. . that M. de Merode was the offender, and possibly Cardinal Antonelli may have known nothing what- ever of the Lamoriciere article until he saw it in print. As chief of the Government, however, he has to bear the brunt of the indignation of M. de Gramont, who informs him that if his surprise was great on beholding the publication of a surrep titiously obtained telegram it was redoubled when he found that it had been perfidiously altered and added to. He protests against the dishonest prac tice of appropriating private despatches on their transit through the telegraph office, and strongly denounces, as an aggravation of it, the publicity given to that addressed by him to M. de Conroy. He comprehends that a hostile Government, having obtained possession of an enemy's telegrams, may (although even this practice is open to ctiticism), profit by and reveal them; but that an ally, abus ing the confidence its honesty ought to inspire, should thus violate international usages, does strike him with wonder. In short, the whole document is said to be exceedingly pungent and calculated to produce some confusion, and possibly even dis cord, in the councils of the Vatican. It is thought not unlikely that the French Consul at Ancona may get into trouble for having communicated the telegram to Lamoriciere, although the latter had already got it from Merode. The French Government having, since the removal of its Minister from Turin, declared that it with drew its protection from Sardinian subjects in the Roman States, Mr. Newton, her Britannic Ma jesty's Consul at Rome, has received instructions to take them under his official protection. It appears that a quantity of ammunition and military stores, and also some provisions intended for Lamoriciere's army, and actually shipped to Ancona, arrived there too late and were sent round to Civita Vecchia. The ammunition seems to have been sent first to Trieste by the Byzantine steamer, but apparently it was thought it might still serve against Italians, so back it came to the Roman port, and there it has just been reshipped on board the steamer Avenir, which arrived from Gaeta a day or two ago, and returns thither with its cargo of pro jectiles. These seem destined to arrive too late everywhere. Another vessel has come to Civita from Gaeta, it is said, to load flour, which has also reached Ancona too late to be useful. The Avenir brought a Spanish Cabinet messenger. The last direct steamer from Marseilles brought 150 French sol diers, including half a company of armourers, be longing, doubtless, to the division last sent here from France. Some comment has been caused by the considerable number of guns, large quantities of am munition, &e., lately brought from France, and many persons were disposed to draw ominous in ferences from such an accumulation of war material. I have reason to believe, however, that there is nothing extraordinary in it. The French explain it by stating the fact that when a division is moved it takes with it its complete equipment and full com plement of military stores—all that is required, in short, to make it perfectly efficient for any service it may be called upon to perform. About 80 S wiss recruits for the Papal service have been landed at Civita Veechia.

They were formed up the other day, and those who were disposed to serve the King of Sar dinia (or of Italy, I suppose he must now be called) were invited to step to the front ; but the appeal is said to have met with little or no response. An order, or regulation, has been drawn up by the Papal Government with respect to the employes and public functionaries in the towns and districts where the Pope's authority has recently been re established. A number of classes (chiefly the higher ones) are designated, the members of which are to be dismissed if they are shown to have accepted and continued to serve under the revolutionary Govern ment. One of the chief objects of the measure, which is of slight general interest, is manifestly to relieve the treasury. The Giornale di Bonza of the 27th of October says : " The Revolutionists grouped at Orvieto, enraged at the popular manifestations in favour of the Government of his Holiness, are making every effort to repress them. Thus, N Revolutionists went to Bagnozza the other day, and again set up the arms of the revolution.

Do you know, sir, that, according to the accounts which have been made up, it has cost this month a piastre a day for each man (a piastre being a f rac ... tion less than .4s ) ? ' The Governor told me—and r fully acquiesce in what he said—that the only plan to be adopted was to sweep off the present Staff, and introduce as much of the Northern element as possible. The Piedmontes ,e . and Milanese hos. ~ pital attendants are admirable, though their num ..e: ' insufficient. It occurs to m e, howev er, that inspector, a Piedmontese, be e►. to watch over the organisation of matters ,ht every ward. Unless this be done, I am persuaded that the same system of plunder will be continued, and the same disorder and filth. The Dictator visited the St. Apostoli last week, and honourable mention is made of it in a letter written by him and published in the official journal. Though better than the others, it is by no means free from the evils of which I speak. That of St. Sebastian, which I have more frequently visited than the others, and where our countrymen are quartered in Naples, is more open to complaint, but it cannot be judged by the same standard, as it is an improvise hospital, and everything was to be arranged. With all its defects, however, great ameliorations have been introduced, and I repeat from the lips of the English who are there that they are comfortable and well cared for. Indeed, they are far more con tented than the Italians, and while these complain of everything, ours, with true British pluck, make the best of all. To-morrow will be a great day in Naples, for Padre Gavazzi preaches his first sermon in Gesu Nuovo, the principal church of the Jesuits. The subject is to be " Jesus Christ," and after the ser vice he will rebaptize the church by the name of "Gesu Resorto" (" Jesus Risen"), instead of the old title, " Gesu Nuovo" (" the New Jesus"). I expect there will be great excitement. On Wednesday he will give the first of his expositions on the Epistle to the Romans in the Church of St. Sebastiano, and on Thursday, after having delivered a pane gyric on the Italian heroes who have fallen in the struggle for their country, he will proceed with all his congregation to the Campo Santo, a little out of the city, and crown the tombs of the martyrs with garlands. There is too much attempt at effect in the whole thing, but it suits, perhaps, the genius of the people, and is necessary. Friday is the 2d of November, and is the Feast of the Dead; on this day all Naples crowds out to ♦isit the tombs of deceased friends, and eating and drinking, weeping, singing, and revelling, are all intermixed with astonishing confusion. Padre Gavazzi will introduce another scene in the spec tacle. At the time lam writing Garibaldi and his forces have pushed on far beyond Capua, which is' occupied by a small body of the Royal troops, with the intention of effecting a junction with Cialdini. Our countrymen have acquired a great name for bravery, and, though it may be invidious to single out any from so plucky a corps, I may say that I have beard the names of both Mejor Styles and his brother honourably mentioned "Major Styles," said one of his countrymen to me, " is the coolest man under fire I ever saw." Another officer, whose pluck and self-command have been brought to my notice is Edward Courtenay Ha worth, Ensign in the 2d company. He had seen service for several years in the navy, during which he was honourably mentioned. He will be re membered as having rescued a boat which was serving ammunition in the Baltic. Brigadier Porcelli, who married a sister of Miss Flora Macdonald, Maid of Honour to her Majesty, and who is second in command of the Ist Legion of Operations, has been promoted to the rank of General. _ Intelligence has just been brought to me that the bridge over the Volturno was broken down at 10 o'clock, and was not mended at 4 p.m. yesterday. All the baggage waggons and provisions of the English Legion are on this side, and our country men, as cousin Jonathan would say, must be in a precious fix.

There is a class, once in great honour, whom knights•errant succoured in distress, for whom saints built cloisters and aisles, and who are still conspicuous in legendary pilgrimages and proces sions, but now, it would seem, without a patron. If 11,000 virgins, or ten times that number, chose to sail up the Rhine in quest of the Holy Sepulchre, that would not make any percep tible reduction in the number of the hrgest unoc cupied class in these isles. When to the "young women' of England aro added widows and married women of all classes with time on their hands, and to whom it is a very great object to increase their incomes, we have an amount of neglected power, constrained idleness, and undeserved suffering that is not to be found elsewhere on this earth. Lament- able as it may be, it is nevertheless true that the disproportion of the sexes is here far greater than in any other country, there being about half-a million more women than men in this island alone. As a statistical fact this will make little impres sion ; but everybody must be aware of a great pre , ponderance of the weaker sex in his own neigh bourhood, whatever it may be, and of much in the circumstances of many to excite a 'tender and respectful sympathy. They are ladies without position, or they have no object in life and have nothing to do. Unless they " settle" they are apt to find themselves in the way. They are stranded in solitude, or driven into groups , where they sooa- become -old-fashioned, odd in their ways, and obsolete in their talk. If they are poor—if they have nothing at all—their case is so much the worse, worse indeed than can be imagined. What are they to do ? They have generally been educated simply to be " ladies." They are not even properly qualified to be governesses, much less to exercise any trade or profession. Very few ladies indeed, if left penniless and friendless at the age of 25, would know what to do. When a small propor tion thus situated have furbished up and paraded their small stock of accomplishments, and obtained " situations? in families, some of one class, some of another, there remains a crowd for whom no place can be found. In England, where there is this cruel excess of the feeble and more dependent class, there happens also to be greater prejudices than any where else against their employment. Ladies themselves prefer shopmen to shopwomen. Very few women are ever seen in a counting-house. They are almost excluded from railway employments. Many thousands of dame schools have disappeared under the new and grander systems of education. Even in the case of female amateurs in any of these provinces the stronger sex meets them with harsh criticism and insulting suspicion. Bluestockings, female artists, authoresses, lady teachers in charity schools, lady visitors among the poor, lady nurses, are all stigmatised as poachers, and warned off the manor. But what are they to do, particularly when they want not only employment, but food and clothing for themselves and for those who depend on their dependence ? The question, we grieve to say, is one of in creasing dimensions and perplexity : and it is a melancholy fact that it is left to answer itself. Had we not before us in our yesterday's columns a most able and eloquent review of some efforts that have been made from the pen of a woman, we should despair of seeing anything done. As for the men, one would suppose that every gentleman in this island had been ill-used by " the sex," so sullen and so unanimous do they seem in their determina tion to leave half a million women to their fate. All other classes have their patrons. Paupers, criminals, offenders, madmen, idiots, orphans, sick, aged, deaf and dumb, blind—all have the alms houses, prisons, reformatories, and asylums, and any woman, of any age or rank, has only to fall ill, to break a limb, to lose her sight, to commit a larceny or any other offence, and she is imme diately claimed by some philanthropist for his own. But women, simply as women, standing on their own merits, are a drug in this country. They are regarded as social nuisances. They are in everybody's way ; counted at evening parties, put at their right ages, and discussed by hard men with one view alone. They cannot help being what they are, whatever it is. They never have a choice till it is too late for a choice to be worth anything. Were a girl at 15 to express a wish to learn any profession, to prepare herself properly for the duties of a governess, a ladylike trade, an enterprise of any sort, India or the Colonies, she would generally be felt to have lost the delicacy of her sex. Let it be felt still. But why do not men do for women what women cannot do for themselves, and open new opportunities for the beings who are forbidden to seek their own for tunes ? It is a melancholy fact, that while there are many institutions in Germany and other coun tries to prepare girls for good situations in this country, and the proper agencies here, there is no such institution, or good school, or agency, that we are aware of, for the benefit of English girls. Nay, since Mrs. Chisholm did so much, there is not even any institution, or agency, or arrangement of any kind, for sending English governesses or domestic servants to our own colonies, where the want of them is great indeed. In only one case mentioned by the authoress of the paper before us is there pretence of such a plan. There is an agency in London for sending to the Canterbury Settlement, New Zealand, certain proportions of all the classes wanted there ; but there does not appear to be any adequate provision for receiving them out there and finding them proper places —a necessary adjunct of any such plan. What has been done, with great and meritorious exertion, is but little compared with the need. The Registry-offices cannot do much more than other registries do, for they can more easily mul tiply applicants than places. The Victoria Press, and a Copying-office, find a superior mechanical employment, with comparative independence, for some dozen women, and recall the historical fact that for some generations after the discovery of printing women were employed, and often preferred, as " composers" and correctors of the press. Stephanus, for example, said that he found them more faithful to the copy and less liable to be misled by false lights. The greatest and most meritorious move in this direction is the employment of women by the Telegraph-offices. It originated entirely in motives of kindness, and only succeeded by much tact and perseverance, in spite of opposition and obvious difficulties. The Electric and International Company, empl.oy nearly two hundred young women at their various offices, and speeches occupying entire pages of this paper have been transmitted to the North and transferred to writing in a few hours by young women alone, and with wonderful accuracy. This success is a great encouragement to those who have the conduct of new institutions where men have not yet gained exclusive possession. It is, however, a still more important matter, and one lying more in the direct path of improvement, that women should have the opportunity of qualifying themselves for the duties which are either their own, or for which they have a special aptitude. Training Schools we have. Ladies' Colleges we have. But, as the paper we have referred to in yesterday's paper truly points out,while there is much heroism in this country, ever ready to show itself on any occasion, and while that is an element which requires discipline and education 'as much as any other, there is a lack of opportunities. A Caroline Fry, a Mrs. Chisholm, a Florence Nightingale must go through a long and rough ordeal beforeshe can fulfil her generous instincts wisely and effectually. In France and other countries th e Si s t ers o f Charity are something more than the disembodied Militia, or the solitary enthusiasts that the name suggests in this country. They are an institution, they are State functionaries, they have a province and a system. In France, too, there are authorised " Inspectresses" of female prisons, empowered to visit at all hours and open any cell. As every father of a family knows, women have naturally more administrative power and economical sense than the stronger sex. Within any given scope of moderate compass they will beat a man out and out. Now, there are many works of charity, such as the superintendence of " homes" and the tempo rary reception of young people here or in the colo nies, for which women would do vastly better than men. Everybody must have felt a thousand times what a pity it is, when there is so much to be done, and persons so admirably qualified to do it, that the work and the workers cannot be brought together. It would be vain to deny the difficulty of the task undertaken by the authoress of " A Year's Woman's Work," and her coadjuto rs . Experience would not exist except f rom very great evil causes little short of a necessity. We have often had to notice the beginning of the evil in the dis proportionate demand for men involved by the peen liar position of this country. E very year mire vates that national feature. It is not without a STATE OF NAPLES. A letter from Naples, dated Oct. 27, says : There is a report, which has occupied all minds for the last two days, to the effect that a British ves sel of war was to be placed at the disposal of Francis 11. It was added that instructions would be given to it to take the ex-Royal family to any place they might desire beyond the limits of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This report seemed ,o receive confirmation from the fact that her Bri. tannic Majesty's ship Renown left Naples for Gaeta yesterday morning ; the public voice de cided the case directly, and, indeed, it is difficult to conceive for what other purpose it could have been sent, as, had any diplomatic arrangements been on the tapir, I am inclined to think that Ad miral Mundy would have gone up. Another im portant movement is that of Admiral Persano, who left last night with a squadron of some strength for Gaeta, to make some kind of demonstration. I hear the probability is that the catastrophe is now near at hand, and that the last of the Bourbons, after an ineffectual resistance at Capua, is now about to yield his dominions to his successor. At the same time, Victor Emmanuel is drawing nearer and nearer to the capital, and has already passed beyond Venafro. Fresh troops are continually arriving, and—that which is a surer indication of an established order of things under the new dynasty—Piedmontese gendarmes have made their appearance in our streets during the last two days. All are loud in their praises of the conduct of the Piedmontese troops as compared with that of the Neapolitans, who, taken in the first place from a half civilised peasantry, brutalised by the priests and corrupted by the Government, committed every kind of excess with impunity. I have heard interesting reports of the reception of a deputation by their new Sovereign, which was rather friendly than regal. As they were standing before the King, he said, " Gentlemen, I am little accustomed to observe forms, pray be seated." The conversation then turned upon Naples, about which the King asked a variety of questions, and wished to know what kind of a place it was. " Your Majesty," it was answered, " will find a number of beautiful palaces, with plenty of hunting and fishing," at which the King expressed surprise. After remaining in friendly con versation for an hour the members of the deputa- . _ tion rose, saying they would relieve his Majesty of the trouble of their company, and begged the honour of kissing his hand. " No, I will not permit it," said Victor Emmanuel; " they will make me a King— not that I wish it. I will shake you by the hand, and I hope to shake hands with all the Neapolitans on my arrival." By this frank and un-Royal manner the " Be Ualantuomo " won the hearts of all who ap proached him, and the nation loves him by anticipa tion, for few have seen him. At present it is doubtful when he will enter Naples, though on the grounds of delicacy there can be no possible hesitation, nor could there be after he had passed the frontier. The scrutiny is completed, but is not to be pro claimed until the 6th of November ; and the ques tion is, will he enter before that fact ? Many seem to think that his presence is so necessary here that he may be expected on Monday or Tuesday, after which he may retire to Caserta for a day or two before the proclamation is made. Great prepara tions are being made for the event ; the Savoy arms over the Royal palace are in course of execution, a scaffolding being erected, and a large canvas curtain concealing the workmen from the view of the people. Beginning from the Albergo dei Poveri, and so ex tending down to the Royal Palace, there are gigan tic structures of wood at various intervals, on which the most remarkable incidents in the history of modern Italy are to be represented, beginning with the consignment of his kingdom by Charles Albert to his son. As to the mode in which this is to be done I cannot speak, but the ornaments are to be an historical representation of the life and reign of Victor Emmanuel. The King will enter Naples by the wide street in which the Albergo dei Poveri stands, commonly known as the Foria ; turning off to the left, a little before arriving at the Museum, the procession will pass through the Strada Constan tinopoli, then go to the Duomo, and after having heard the Te Deum, which will be chanted in full choir, will enter the Toledo by the Largo Merestello. The road then leads straight to the Royal Palace , near which is erected the skeleton of a gigan tic arch. These will be glorious times for tailor s and milliners, and we were rather surprised at a s li g ht emeute having been got up during the l as t two days by chosen to some of the former gentry, who have m e of the peop appear to hold peculiar v ie ws here strike for wages.

If, possess ing thesc, they have also been the o bj ec t s o f persecution, oQ course that fact would entitle them to a preference. At present, any man who has been in the galleys, or in prison, or in exile, considers that he has a claim to be a Minister of State. This is not patriotism, but egotism ; and the sooner the Neapolitans learn this, the better it will be for the interests of their t coun ry. I have been making the round of the principal hospitals of the city to-day—that is to say, of the SS. Apostoli, the Incurabili, the Trinita, and the S. Se bastiano, and wherever I made the inquiry I found the same complaints made of theft, wholesale and . retail.
