NAPLES, DEC. S.
It has been known for some time past that consi-
derable discontent exists in the Neapolitan army.
By some it was said to arise from jealousy of the
Swiss, who number now nearly 12,000, and receive
double the pay of Neapolitans. Be the causes what
they may., it is certain that within the last few days
several military arrests have taken place, chiefly
amongst non-commissioned officers of infantry regi-
ments. Gold money is said to have been found on
their persons, and many have spoken openly with
disrespect of the government and King in the wine
shops. Amongst the Swiss, too, there are many re-
cruits who fought in the revolutionary armirs of
Is4S, so that much alarm is felt should the events of
Europe affect this country.
The Neapolitan government has refused a British
subject to enter the kingdom, for no other reason, as
far as I can learn, than that of having identified
himself with political exiles in Paris and London.

and to drive the piles on which the bridge will ran. The
elevation or frost of the Melbourne statics will be either in
the Roman or Italian order of architectare; which of the
two it will be, has sot yet been decided on. Whichever it
may he, the plans show that it will be a very handsome
building, the most so of any in the city, and it will have a
large public turret-clock over its front parapet. The piles
and timber for the proposed bridge and station are now
here. With this brief account of the doings at the Mel-
bourne terminus, we will proceed to the other extremity of
the line, where a great deal more has been done, and much
more is to be seen. The eastern side of the Hobson's Bay
station is situated about a quarter of a mile westward of
the present pier at Sandridge. Proceeding from there
westward, the company's ground has • southern water
frontage towards the bay of 330 yards, by a depth of 400
yards from south to sorth. This large piece of ground is
intended to be used for the end of the pier, the station-
house, and other buildings required at that terminus. The
pier is already begun.—Australian and New Zealand

The Dr. Louis Gaj, whose arrest at Agram and
umniee to Vienna was noticed on Thursday, was
one of the molt influential leaders of the Anti-
Magyar party in Croatia, in 1848, and u such did
great service to the power which now holds him to a
severe account. Letters from Vienna state that the
Austrian government has discovered a widely-
ramified organisation, having the promotion of
l'aulavism for its object, and basing its opera-
tions on Servia. Independently of this movement,
it is stated that great excitement prevails amongst
the Germans at Vienna, and numerous arrests have
been made in the Austrian capitaL
