NAPLES.

The following appears in the Patria of Florence
of the 2d inst., under date of Leghorn the Ist :—" A
steam-boat arrived from Naples, announces that the
English fleet presented itself before that city, desiring
that the Neapolitan fortress should first salute its
flag, and giving two hours to the Neapolitan Go-
vernment to decide. The same time was given to
the KING to release the Sicilian prisoners taken by
the Neapolitan ship under British colours. The fleet
had claimed 450,000 ducats as an indemnity for the
damages of British subjects at Naples on the 15th."

UMULBS, AuG. 7.—A quantity of wreckage, amongst it a
green chest, apparently but recently in the water, was passed
6th inst., twenty miles W.N.W. of Lundy Islands, by the
Selina, Green, from Swansea to Fahnouth, put back to this
place. A large ship's bowsprit, broken in the knight head,
and apparently but a short time in the water, was passed by
the Adelaide, from Swansea to Northam, which put back here
yesterday, after having been forty-five West South West of
Lundy Island.

PARISH OF KnrsslNGTosr.—At a meeting of the
parishioners of St. Mary Abbot's, Kensington, held yester-
day, a memorial to the Government was adopted, praying
that the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith,
Fulham, and Chiswick, should be constituted a borough, and
represented by two Members in Parliament.
APOLOGY FOR SMITH OTRIEN.—The courage of
Mr. Smith O'Brien in slinking, under the fire of the police at
Boulagh-common, among the cabbages in Widow Cormack's
garden, may be questioned, but it is to be remembered that
the hero, if he crept out of the way of the bullets, betrayed no
fear of the slugs.—Punch.
CRICKET. —The match between the Eleven of
England v. Fourteen of the county of Surrey, which was
commenced on Monday, was brought to a conclusion-yester..
day, at the Kennington Oval. On each day there was an
assemblage of several thousands of spectators. and as the
game progressed towards its termination, the excitement
arrived at a height which is not easy to describe. Few
matches have been played wherein there has been so brilliant
a specimen of the finer beauties of the science displayed,
By all those to whose names long scores are attached, the
hitting was of the most magnificent character. The follow.
ing was the state of the score :—England, first innings, 129 ;
second ditto, 77 ; total, 206. Surrey, first innings, 131;
second ditto, 76 ; total, 207. Surrey won by eight wickets.
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN ST. LUKE'S.—Yes.
terday afternoon the inquest opened at the George, Old-
street, before ,Mr. Baker, coroner for Middlesex, touching
the death of Amelia Merrick, who it was stated had died
from the violence of her husband, was resumed and concluded.
The jury returned a verdict of" Manslaughter" against the
husband, William Merrick.

MELANCIIOLT ACCIDENT.—FOUR MEN DROWNED.
—a, few minutes before twelve o'clock on Friday night,
as the Thetis (steamer), from Belfast, was coming up
the Clyde, when about a mile below the Cluch, one
of the watch observed a small boat, with four men
in her. He shouted to them to move out of the
way, but they paid no attention, and before the
steamer could be backed her bows caught the sail of
the small boat, but merely turned her about a little,
and in another second or so the boat was beneath the
larboard paddle, and crushed to pieces. As soon as the
Thetis could be stopped her boats were lowered, and
the steamer remained in that spot fully an hour in order
if possible to get the men saved, but no trace of them
could be found, and of their boat only a few frag-
ments were picked up. The night was very dark,
and it was possible the unfortunate men might
not have seen the steamer; this is, however, very
improbable, as a great quantity of flame gene-
rally issues from the funnel of the Thetis, which would
make her distinguishable at a considerable distance,
even on the darkest night. It is therefore conjectured
that the men were either intoxicated or asleep.
There was no sound whatever heard from any of
Ahem, except when the boat was just beneath the
steamer's paddle, when something like a sharp cry
was beard. One of the men, it is supposed, was Dun-
can Cook, who had been previously, for a long time,
in the police force of this town ; another was one
WFarlane, a spirit dealer. We have not heard the names
of the other two. When they left Greenock in the even-
ing they had two women in the boat, whom they landed
at Gourock. They were going to Rothesay to .purchase
herring?, and were about a rude from the shore when the
steamer struck their frail craft, and sent them to a watery
grave. Cook, if it be he, has left a wife and family.—
