Three days ago the Bander was despatched with instructions
to the Neapriitao Ambassador at Paris. It is not known how
long Admiral llosamel will remain here, or whether he will
wait the return of the King, whose departure for Sicily was
quite unexpected. Hie Majesty is fond of creating these sur-
prises ala Napoleon, as they are called here. It is generally
believed that, finding it unnecessary to keep so many troops in
Sicily, he has gone to review them previous to sending them
beck into their cantonments, in order to lessen expense. The
official journal says tnat the King's absence will be for ten or
twelve day's. The English ships of the line Belterophon and
Benbow, the frigate Tyne, and the steamer Phecnix, are still
here, and give daily entertainments to their countrs men on
shore. The French have only the Ocean, the Grenadier sloop,
and a steamer. The Marengo and Genereux left us some days
ago. The Ocean is constantly receiving numerous visiters.
Our Ambassador has succeeded in obtaining permissien for the
Levant steam-packets to touch in future at Naples, affording
thereby great accommodation to the merchants trading with
the East."
GRAND STAND AT EPSOM.—The Gland
Stand will this year be more than usually attractive. Consi-
derable improvements have been made by enclosing the ground
in front with iron railings—raising the lawn—and making better
entrances for the company. There is also a separate enclosure
for the carriages of the Royal Family, to se- down near a private
stair-case which leads to their apartments. Mr. Careless of
the New York Coffee-house, provides the entertainments iii his
