(MOW OM OWN CORR

NAPLIB, Dec. S.
Victor Emmanuel arrived yesterday Boning and
received similar hononrs from ore vessels to those he
received on leaving. We have now heretbeHannibaL
the Renown, and the Queen ; all three were
dressed from bowsprit to mast, and made • very
gay mqsarance. The band of the Hannibal played
the Hymn of Victor Emmanuel, and the officers of
the several vessels were on the quarterdeck in full
kg; as for the King, his steamer, the Victor Em-
manuel, was taken as close as it could be under the
bows of the Hannibal. His Majesty stood on the
quarterdeck uncovered whilst the bead played
" God save the Queen ;" indeed, the very best
feeling prevails between the two services.
lam glad to report that the small-pox is fast
dhiappeanng from the fleet. The Renown bad two
fresh came:. last Sunday. In all I think there have
been 120 cases, dve of which have died, and two,
who are now suffering from confluent small-pox,
are not expected to live. By Admiral Mundy's
girders the buys have all been reevaceinated, and the
crews have presented themselves. A.s far as I can
make out, one or two of the deaths occurred in
cams which bad never been vaminated. All the
sick I mentioned in a former letter are on the
island of Nisida, where the lasaretto—an admira-
ble building, much improved of late, was
placed with the utmost courtesy at the dis-
posal of the admiral. On the death of oar
men taking place a request was made for par-
esis-4m to bury them on the island. It
was immediately granted, and permission was 00S•
• in the very flattering terms, "We eaa
refu..e nothing to Admiral Mundy and the British
government.' The pour fellows were aosamiMmly
buried in the cemetery, which I take for graated
was consecrated ground, and if so, wooed* to the
forms of the Roman catholic church. If this was
the case—though I unlit make further inquiries
before I can guarantee it—it marks a meet important
epoch in the religion, history of this country.
Long before this reaches England you will have
received intelligence of the death from apoplexy of
his Royal Highness the Count of Syracuse, the
eldest uncle of Francis 11. It was the curse of his
existence that he was a Bourbon prince. Had he
been born or had he lived in any other country, his
natural qualities, which was good, would have
been properly developed and directed, and
be would have been an agreeable and useful'
measlier of society, pez haps a distinguished
painter or sculptor, fur he bad much theta
for the arts. As it was, be was affable'
awl good-natured, and much liked by a large
class of persons ; he was • dabbler in art
hill time, which hung heavily on his bands ; be was
liberal in his politics, alwa; a is oppoarion to his
brother, Ferdinaudi I 1., and as Lord-Lieutenant of
Sicily was a popular governor. A man of strong
passions mei considerable abilities, no career was
opined for the exercise of them • bewail condemned
to ivaction, and then only was considered harmless,
when livings life which his best friends regretted.
His history is that of tens of thousands of others in
this unhappy country, where the king, priest, and
policeman united to smother all that ass great and
good, and to develop and encourage all that was
evil. Yet Leorld, Count of Syracuse, was the
best of his family, and there are thousands in
Naples who will lament a good-tempered, affable,
and familiar friend.

I have omitted to state that there were two small ,1
French steamers in port when the King entered
yesterday—the Mouette and the Prony. The former
dre.sed ship and manned yards; the latter bad been
there a very short time, and had her topmasts
down, so that she had no time to do anything ; and
perhaps bow eenneander, a tremendous legitimist,
was not sorry of an excuse.
An attempt WWI made to assassinate General
Dunn last night, by, it is supposed, a Sicilian major
under his command, who had been refused his
brevet. The assassin hae not been raptured. The
ball entered the back, and is still in the body ; but
tit%) report this morning of our brave countryman's
health is as farourablo as could be expected.
