POPCLAI ICOCCATION IN N•PLIB.--Sbortly niter
the thassation of Naples to Northern Italy an attempt was
node to enlist the sympathies of ladies both in Italy and
England in an effort to open schools for the bistro •Won of
the poor in Southern Italy. la an address to his country-
women, General Garibaldi strongly commended the
ethane, sad it wee warmly taken up in this eonotry by
a number of ladies, who collected subscriptions and
transmitted them to Italy. These efforts have not been
unavailing. One school in connexion with them was opened
in 1863, at No. 13, in the Strada Medina, Naples, at which
for the first time in that city an attempt was made to le-
aked the poor without referesce to med. All doctrinal
questions ware excluded from the lessons taught, aad try
priest w allowed to enter the school. It was famed.
however, that catholic children readily sought admittance,
sod that the advantage of the instinctive given was very
generally appreciated. A report of • retest examiaatime
of the school appears in tie Ppolo d'ltelia, • Neepolitaa
newspaper. There were present between 60 and 70 pupils,
• etunber of whom were dressed in clothes mode oat of
materials sent to them from England, but made up
in the school. The progress the children had made
was remarkable. Many who, on entering the school
• few months before, neither knew them own ammo
nor the names of the streets they lived in, and who
of course knew sobbing of the 'alphabet, had been taught to
read and write with mosiderable flusacy. The more ad-
vanced pupils had made some progress in grammar,
giephy, sod arithmetic. In cionnexios with the school in
the Strada Medina a clam his been opened for the imam-
thin of sewieg-girls. They only attend during the interval
allowed them for dinner, sad yet even with this short limbs
at their command they have made eurprisiog progress. The
prometem of the @Asol are now very anxious too:imbibe
with it industrial education. No institutive for this psrpas
exists at present in Naples, and the want is mach felt.
English ladies to whom the school has bees so math ie.
debted are still exertion themselves to callieet sabscrip.
Moos, sad they hope ultimately to be able to epee similar
lestitutions in the Neapolitan provisoes. Coetrilmliena ere
