even of Mr. SLEIGH, who had a clear 207 ahead of
him—Mr. WILKINSON, while at the close of the

the whole middle and upper-class population of
Naples, which did not owe its safety or success to
sycophancy, crowded to the theatre to welcome

their deliverer.

Still, account for it as we may, it is gratifying to
see that the class of whom our Tories cannot pretend
that it has nothing to lose, were as hearty in their
place—the theatre—as the multitude the preceding
day in the streets, and on the housetops. The same
enthusiastic shouts for the King of an United ITALY
were heard there, as in the open air. And what
was received with the greatest enthusiasm of all
was a song, in which the star of Savoy (no jealousy
of a North Italian King) was invoked as the Saviour
of Rome and Venice, and the possessor of the crown
of the CASARS. One of the largest and most beau-
tiful theatres in Europe was crowded with loyal and
enthusiastic attendants from top to bottom, many
of them having purchased admission at exorbitant
prices. There can be no mistake about such a meet-
ing. Let the oppressors of Warsaw, and of Pesth
and Venice contrast this with the receptions which
they could obtain in their outlying capitals. We
should add that the officers of the French and Eng-
lish fleets encouraged the people by their presence.
Let us hope that the former will not report what
they saw in vain.

A most useful and judicious Royal liberality has,
however, been shown towards other classes. All
pledges below two ducats have been redeemed by
the KING. It seems that, expecting a visit from
GARIBALDI, the pawnbrokers had been largely re-
sorted to, but the KING has shown that Royalty
can do what is hardly in the power of the most
justly popular General whom Italy ever had, or is

likely to have. Equally wise was an amnesty, the
appropriate grace of Royal fetes, for all offences of
the Press, and all "contraventions of discipline" by
the National Guard. " Let byegones be byegones"
was the truly English sentiment of his MAJESTY
and his councillors. What a contrast to the vin-
dictive amnesties of the Bourbons and the Haps-

burgs.
The Royal visit to the South must do great
good. It will reassure the Neapolitans, and enable
them to see, as well as to believe, that the KING
is not a mere Piedmontese but an Italian. It will
give the impetus of social confidence to foreign
trade—which, indeed, so far as England is con-
cerned, has more than doubled at Naples, in three or
four years; and with encouragement of agricultural
commercial and social energies for the rule, instead
of repression, as under the Bourbons, we shall soon
see the South of Italy rapidly advancing in wealth.
One of the fairest countries of Europe will soon
become one of the most flourishing. Such is the
blessing of shaking off the paralyzing yoke of
tyranny and priestcraft.

DEPARTURE OF ThE CROWN PRINCE

place for Petworth.

Lord and Lady Farnham have arrived at Cla-
ridge's Hotel for the season,

poll, while nearly 5,000 less than the chosen candi-
date of the constituency, had himself once upon a
time taken his seat in the House of Commons as
M.P. for that very borough of Lambeth ! A ques-
tionable advantage, however, as it appears, judging
from the result of the voting on Saturday, as but
just now particularised. Upon the whole, we can-
not but feel that the electors of Lambeth have out of
the three candidates who stood before them made
a really judicious selection. But as to the apathy
of the rest of the great mass of 24,000 electors con-
stituting the Lambeth constituency—we feel tole-
rably well persuaded that that illusion (actually
floating just now before the mind's eye of some
observers) would be quickly enough disasipated
whenever any genuine contest should put the Lam-
beth constituency to the test. Let us say, if upon one
of these fine days—when there is another vacancy
in the representation of the borough—a real live
Tory candidate should venture to make his appear-
ance upon the hustings. In that contingency we
warrant we should hear no more about the electoral
apathy now sneered at.

Our readers will observe with gratification that
the loyalty of the Neapolitans to the King of their
choice continues to be demonstrated in the most
decisive mannar. The point of this day's news
we take to be that not only the many, but the
" select classes," if we may use such an invidious
expression, are unanimously in his favour. These
were indeed the classes whom the Bourbons per-
secuted most. They had education and could think
for themselves—the most undesirable qualifications
possible for the subjects of either vigorous or
feeble tyrants. If they kept silence, it was supposed
their thoughts were such as a tyrant could not
endure; if they spoke submissively, it was rea-
sonably suspected to be hypocrisy ; if they dared
to doubt royal wisdom or the merits of the
police, why, St. Elmo or the island prison was a
certainty. Nothing but a heavy bribe could save
them from months or years of incarceration with-
out trial, or from a trial in which every witness
was perjured. We cannot wonder, therefore, that
