NAPLES AND SICILY.
A letter from Naples of the 17th says :
" Naples is apparently tranquil, but there is some
anxiety about the King's state of health, and a family
council was held at the palace yesterday evening, re'
specting it. Ho has quarrelled with his brother
Laigi ' who is going with his wife and family to Mal"'
The troops have been bcaten in Calabria with great loss,
chiefly in wounded. The Calabrians have offered seven
thousand ducats for the head of General Nunziante, who
commands them, and the father of a noble family has
offered his daughter with a handsome marriage portion
head. to any one who will bring in Nunziante's'Prince
The
person who makes this offer lost two sons in the con'
!Het."

The state of siege has been taken off. The French
fleet is still in the Bay of Naples, and Admiral
BAUDIN is very positive in his demands upon the
KING. On the 16th a line•of-battle ship and two
steamers (French) went off for :Messina, where it
was reported there had been a recommencement of
hostilities between the citadel and the town. The
English frigate Thetis and the steamer Porcupine
are also here. Most of the foreigners have left
Naples, and many Neapolitans also, the latter for the
Vomero, Portico, Sorrento, Castellamare, 6:1
fearing another outbreak before the opening °
Parliament.
The Sicilian Parliament, sitting at Palermo, has
published the list of four candidates for the throne of
Sicily. They are the son of the King of SARDINIA,
the son of the Duke of TUSCANY, Louls
BONAPARTE, son of the Prince DE CANINO (Lveol4
BONArARTE), and the Prince DE BEUHARNAIS.

LOMBARDY.
It is rumoured that Verona has surrendered to the
Piedmontese. We are not inclined, hovvever, to
attach much credit to this report. The admirals °t.
the Italian fleet have officially declared the blockade
of Trieste.

WILLIS'S ROOMS.
Mr. Julian Adams's third chamber concert tool'
place last night, when his friends and the admirers
of his talents as a pianist of premiere force flncl°.l/
around him. The programme was admirablyselecteuf
and was strictly adhered to except in one instance:.
The most remarkable instrumental performances ol
the evening were Mr. Viotti Collins's perfect exeer
tion of Paganini's beauteous violin fantasia, ``,„i
Clochette," which was played so beautifully by to"
young virtuoso that nothing was left to be wished for.
The duett pt,-formed by Mr. Julian Adams and Mr*
George Collins, upon the pianoforte and violincello,
was applauded several times during its masterly 019:
cution : it was supposed to be arranged by Reissige;
and Merk, but we strongly suspect it was by tb
talented executants. The vocal encores of the 0'61;
ing were numerous and well deserved. Miss Ned°l.
Collins received that honour for her sweet interpre.
tation of Baker's " Fortune-Teller ;" Missother
Flower was equally successful in Mr. Linley's
Girl," and the Misses Williams and their br
dre
sung the exquisite terzettino, "Ti prep ° 1713hare-
pia" (by the way, a sweet inspiration), with sue—
fined taste, beauteous expression, and perfect eugenic, 0
that an encore was unanimously demanded °heir
kindly acceded to by the fair cantatrices and was
talented brother. The chief novelty of the evening can
a prettyx duettino, by Mr. St. Leger, "Alas se') r-
(A t e
forget, the poetry by Robert Power, Esq., °, it is
stone. The melody is flowing and origins' dby
carefully arranged, and was deliciously rendere
Miss Anne Williams and Mr. T. Williams ; this it's'
in its way, a little gem, and if we may judge fr°lllthe
success last night, it promises to find a place en :tb
pianos of all ladies who sing duetts, particularly' w'r,
n
gentlemen : Mr. W. H. Holmes accompanied to Pe g
section. We were much di.appointed at not beigise,
the three highly-gifted young virtuosi the 3-"-:ite
Emma, Rosina, and Victoria Collins, whose Wit! no,
singing and admirable performance upon
the Persal aiy
violin, and violoncello, was the theme of U
praise at the two first concerts. The concert
with
crowded to excess, and everything went °6,,. in,
such eclat that we believe it is Mr. J. Adorns '.
tention to give another soiree, when new attraction
will be brought into play.
