Moscow, the Empress goes back to St. Petersburg,
and the Emperor proceeds to Warsaw, where he is
expected about the 15th proximo. His route thence
to St. Petersburg will be by Kowno and Wilna, and
he is to he back thrre early in October. At Warsaw
the final arrangements for the camp are being
actively completed. It is said that the Prince of
Prussia and other German princes are to be present
at the reviews. At Wilna a large number of Lithu-
anian proprietors are expected to await the Emperor's
passage, and to solicit the re establishment of the
University at Willis, suppressed under the reign of
Nicholas. Tee same letter supplt•-)s a statistical
document in proof of the intellectual progress of
Russia. It states that in 1857 1,425 original works
and 201 translations were published in the empire.
Compared with the population the number is not
large, but it is more than thrice as great as it was a
few years ago. The number of books lin vorted From
abroad in 1857 was estimated, by the censor's
returns, at 1,613,8(32 volumes, of which 3,547 were
forbidden and re-exported.
NAPLES.

Madame Poggi, whose son has just been condemned
to twenty-five years in irons in the Isle of Faviunana,
and who for some months has displayed such a devoted
maternal atl'ection, received an order from the police
authorities last Saturday to quit the kingdom in
eight days. She asked the reason, and received
no other satisfaction than that it was by superior
orders.

Tajani, the advocate of Nicotera, is still "continato"
to the little town of Vietri, and has given up his briefs
to other advocates.

Nicotera himself is detained in the prisons of the
Vicaria at Naples, and is shut up in a dark room in
which those condemned to death are placed when
said to be put in Cappella.
An incident has taken place during the last week
which occasioned some sensation amongst the
English ; the incident being no less than that Henry
Knight, a groom in the service of the Duke of Mi-
randa, has had his arm and his head broken by
some ruffians in the service of General Nunziante.
The Nunziante family have lately built an enormous
palace, and the general placed five of the convicts in
his employ as a guard outside the palace to prevent
any of the building materials from being carried off.
Knight was passing there a few nights since, and,
following a custom but too prevalent in Naples, was
challenged by the convicts. As he did not move off
they attacked him with cudgels, broke his arm and
his head. They possibly, in the service of so great a
man as Nunziante, thought they had done a great
thing in not breaking both arms. Mr. Acting Consul
Barbar, on hearing of the assault, immediately in-
sisted on the arrest of the men. The police hesitated.
On Mr. Barbar's threatening, however, to apply to
superior authority, and, that failing, to report the
affair to his Government, the men were arrested.
General Nunziante and the Duke of Miranda both
made efforts to arrange the matter. At last the
families of the men who were arrested entreated
Knight to intercede in their behalf, and the prosecu-
tion was finally suspended, Mr. Barbar insisting on a
written agreement that either Miranda or Nunziante
would guarantee all the expenses, and his usual
salary, if it turned out afterwards that the man could
not resume his work.
