was Mr. James O'Brien's. The next belonged to Mr.
John Woods, and was tenanted by Mrs. Lee, teacher; and
Mrs. Lee, provision dealer. The rest of the block to

and was occupied by Mr. Patrick Brown, shoemaker, and
Mr. Maiim Silvas, sadler, and the corner lot by Mr: Ross
himself as a tavern. We underttand that Mr. Ross was

insured, but did not learn to _what amount. On Carol'ne_
street, the premises owned by Mr. Francis. Sullivan, and
in which he carried on the business of a waggon maker
and undertaker, were burned down. He was insured in
the Equitable:for £2OO. As most of the buildings were old
wooden affairs, the total loss is not very great in propor-
tion'to the extent of ground swept by the conflagration.
Most of the furniture and other property in the houses
destroyed were saved.
The Quebec papers contain late intelligence

heavy cargoes Nom our coasts.- Some of them

NAPLES

NAPLES, OCT. 3J

After much menace and discussion the Ministers
or the allied Powers have at length left Naples.
The curtain has risen, and the opening scene, of a
drama, the characters of which will be determined
by time, has been enacted. What will be the ter-
mination of that drama? Will it see the assoluti
Padroni of Europe strengthened and England and.'
FranCe` become purely ridiculous? or will the
cause' of rational constitutional 'liberty be ' ad:
Vanced ? Such is the question 'involved in the
present strugixle ; for no one entertains for -a
inlament the idea that two ,giants Would come
forth! to slay a stripling,._ though that stripling,
with an. ampulla: of liquified . blood, and a
relique ;of the Madonna, and deluded by the
dreams of some hair-brained ..monk, would not
hesitate to encounter all the giants that were ever
born in Palestine. There was considerable appre-
hension *entertained lest thd Liberals might have
got up some Manifestation- on the occasion 'of thii
departure of the Ministers, for though a Viva
Fraficia, or Viva Inghilterra, are but so-many words,
they -now embody all the hopes of the Neapolitans,
and ifuttered would have Oven expression to the
wishes and prayers of a nation. 7 Such a manifes-
tation would have given rise to; the interference of
the police and: other, inconveniences .of.,which it
would have been impossible .to calculate .the
consequences, and, therefore, it was resolved, as I
understand, to maintain perfect silence. Suah,
however, was the fact—riot a word was uttered, and
I beg to call attention to this proof of the moral •
power of the natiorkwhiCh was strong
,enough to,
keep in abeyance the fire_ which burns- in the.
bosoms of these people. .
' At an early hour on TueSday morning the Com-
missary of the Quarter of the Liviera di Chiaja,.
made' his appearance with, perhaps 50 of his men,
and dotted them about in the neighbourhood of the
-French Legation. These again were supported by
spies in all directions, and still more effectually by
patrols'of gensdarmes—placed within sight of each
other, and' 'extending foil two miles :through the
Toledo, and dpwn the Foria. ' Altogether there
eould not have been a display of less than • 2,000
men in the employ of the police. , The Govern-
ment,. (therefore, made the demonstration, not
the Liberals, and it is a proof of the. arbitrary
system which is practised in Naples, that so great
a force was deemod necessary to suppress all ex-
pressions of respect for the Ministers of two great
nations. Baron Brenier left the legation at about
ten o'clock in a carriage drawn by six horses, with
an outrider, and followed by a fourgon with his
attendants and his baggage. What is that paltry
little one-horse carriage which follows in the train
of the Minister of imperial France? That hired
carrezzella holds a Commissary of Police, and a well-
known spy, whose,n am° I forbear to mention.. This
guard never deserts him till he arrives at the, Cape.
di Chins. It watches to see whether some poor
Neapolitan* may address him some ultirna verba
to the Baron ; and hating ~seen him safely
beyond the barrier, it returns:, I have anti,
eipated- a- little, order -not- to abandon
the -ridiculous group in the carrozzella' - On

„
arriVing at the entrance of the Toledo and through,
out the city there Nya3 the same display of the
civil force : spies, policemen, and gensdarmes
everywhere. Many gentleinen were.in the streets,
and many had retired within the shops, but there
was.a general raising of hats as Mons. Brenier
passed; and in the Largo di Merca.tello, I -am told
that flowers were thrown from the windows. In
the afternoon of the same day, at three o'clock, the
British Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Petre, accompanied
by Mr. Plunkett, and the First Secretary of the
French Legation left Naples. There was the same
display Of- force as in the morning, and pretty
nearly the same incidents, took place, and so the
curtain falls on
,the first scene of—what ? Tragedy,.

comedy, melodrama, or what ? Win alt
this terminate in the acceptance of some
paltry concessions, which, as they are not

founded on and confirmed by some prin-
ciple will be utterly. valueless ? Or will the
King be morally compelled to return to legality,
peace, and prosperity ? Now is the crisis in the
fate of this country and of the whole of Italy, and,
if England and France be sincerely united, mode-
rate counsels will prevail, and chronic discontent,
disorder, and revolution be avoided. But of one
thing I 'am hourly more and more convinced-L-that
half-measures, slight 'concessions, promises here,
will be worse than useless. My reason for thinliing

so is this. The man does not rule here in whom
confidence can. be placed morally or intellectually.
The different circumstances of a country necessa-
rily induce great differences in our mode of reason-
ing. Were a Louis Napoleon on the throne of
Naples, I would place implicit confidence in the
genius of the man, to develope the resources of the
country, and to rear his people to the full stature
and growth of men; but is there a Sovereign in
this country who has known how to profit by the

teeming riebqs of the land ? Who has intersected

it with railroads? who has encouraged mental pro-

gress ? who has known how_ to acquire the respect

and the atreution of his subjects? Let any ono who

knows the country answer.
His Majesty came in night from Gaeta, and
from the tranquillity of the capital no doubt will
derive a proof of the contentment and happiness

see the roofs of houses, monasteries, and churches
