Letters from Naples to the 28th inst. confirm
that Carini had been taken by assault, after three
days' fighting. The town had suffered greatly.
The government states that only a few hundred
insurgents remain to be pursued. Letters affirm,
however, that the supplies of provisions to the
town had been often intercepted. The recent
struggles had caused great excitement. The
details are still contradictory.

LETTER FROM LOUIS NAPOLEON. TO.
MESSRS. MAPPIN BROTHERS, CUTLERS

The following' copy of a letter, addressed to
Messrs. Mappin Brothers, of Sheffield, and King
William-street, London, who had presented. .4
hunting knife to the Emperor Napoleon, has
been received at Mr. Reuter office :

Cabinet of the Emperor, Palace of the Tuileries,
April 16th.
Gentlemen,—The Emperor accepts with pleasure the
hunting knife which you have presented to him. It is
indeed, as you say, a real masterpiece of its kind, and his
Majesty has deservedly praised it. The offer was the more
agreeable to him, as the treaty of commerce seems to have
inspired the. idea. This treaty, you are right in believ-
ing with him, to whom you attribute the happy initia-
tive. will strongly contribute to increase the relations
and to draw closer the bonds of friendship between the
two great nations who march at the head of civilisation
andindustry, receive, therefore, gentlemen, in the name
of the Emperor, the thanks which I congratulate
myself on being the interpreter. Rely, gentlemen,
upon my distinguished consideration—the Secretary of
the Emperor, Chef du Cabinet.--Signed,
MOCQTYARD.
To Messrs. Mappin Brotheri, cutlers, ;
Sheffield and London.

'On Saturday the French Legislative body discussed,
for the first time, the new commercial treaty between
England and France. The protectionists spoke out,
but they are in a minority.
The Cape Argus says—" Another unwelcome visitor
was landed here in the person of a certain Donna Lola
Fernandez, who seems to have figured at the London
police courts and elsewhere. She was en rot to to Hone
Kong, and the general wish is that she had been allowed
to continue her journey; indeed, it is said to be the
intention of the Government to send her on. It is a
question of identity which nobody here can settle. So
for me.'
ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF HAMILTON. -- We are
sorry to learn that the Duke of Hamilton met with an
accident on Friday night, by which his grace has
fractured his leg. It appears that the noble duke, after
having dined with a few friends, left his residence in
Arlington-street to take a walk before retiring to reit.
In crossing Piccadilly, between Dover-street and Ber-
keley-street, in stepping on to the pavement his foot
slipped, and his grace fell, and sustained a fracture of
the right leg just above the ankle. The noble duke was
immediately conveyed to his mansion, and Dr. Ferguson
and Mr. W. Ferguson, the eminent surgeon, were soon
in attendance, and the exeent of 'the injhry ascertained.
His grace passed a good night pu Saturday, and is going
on favourably,
