NAPLES.

NAPI ES, Sept. 28.—The Neapolitan Goveia-
ment had sent, or was about to send, a Neapolitan_
volu-
minous despatch to the great Power, which was
to be considered as a defence of the King and his
Government.

The late State trials had terminated ; most of
the accused having been found guilty. Captain
Acuti had retracted his assertions about the King
having ordered the prisoners to receive so many
lashes, by which means he he s, no doubt, saved
himself from imptisonment.
We find the language of the Neapolitan Govern-
ment thus shadowed forth in the Debats
:
"We beiieve that the wi ,ngs attributed to the King
of Naples have been exaggerated, and that the number
of political prisoners is far less numerous than has been
stated. Two and even three thou-end untried prisoners
have been mentioned ; but this appears improbable. It
is not conceivable that so large a number, belonging
almost exclusively to the superior classes of society,
can have been separated with violence from their
families and :placed in dungeons where they have
been rotting for years. According to reliable inf.)r-
illation, it appears that the Neapolitan Government
held in confinement less than 206 political offenders,
and that, as soon as the protocol of the sitting of
the Bth April hee-neknown in Naples, the King ordered
more than half the prisoners to be released ; thus, when
Austria made her first step, not above remained 100 in
prison. Since that step, and the notes of France and
England, the King has accorded other pardons, but with
a secrecy which he believes calculated to preserve the
tranquillity of the kingdom and his personal dignity."

had joined in the insurrection. it, moreover, de-
cided that an inquiry should be instituted into the
conduct of the officers, who, although holding their

to re-establish order and restore the legal rule in

that these suggestions are Oarrit3d into effect, In my offi-
cial action here I will do justice at all hazards. Influence
by no other consideration than the welfare of the whole
people of this territory, I desire to know no party, no
section, no North, no South, no East, no West—nothing
but Kansas and my country. Fully conscious of my
great responsibility in the present condition of affairs in
Kansas, I must invoke your aid and solicit your gener-
ous forbearance. Your executive officer can do little
without the aid of the people. With a firm reliance upon
Divine Providence, to the best of my ability I shall pro-
mote the interests of the citizens of the territory, not
merely collectively, but individually ; and I shall expect
from them in ratan that cordial aid and support without
which the government of no State or territory can be
administered. Let us all begin anew. Let the pest be
buried in oblivion. Let all strife and bitterness cease.
Let us all honestly devote ourselves to the true interests
of Kansas—develope her rich agricultural and mineral
resources—build up manufacturing enterprises—make
public roads and highways—prepare amply for the edu-
cation of our children—devote ourselves to all the arts of
peace—and make our territory the sanctuary of those
cherished principles which protect the inalienable rights
of the individual, and elevate states in their sovereign
eepacitiee:

" Then shall peaceful industry soon be restored:::
population and wealth will flow upon us—' the desert
will blossom as the rose'—and the State of Kansas will
soon be admitted into the Union, the peer and pride of
her elder sisters. " JOHN W. GEARY."

The new Governor has issued a proclamation disband-
ing the volunteer militia, which has attempted to enforce
the territorial laws under the directions of his predeces-
sor, and commanding all the Free-state men to disband
at once or quit the territory, and commanding all male
citizens between 18 and 45 to organise at once into a
militia, and to bold themselves in readiness to be sum-
moned into the service of the United States.

SOUTH WARK.

CRUELTY TO A DONKEY.—John fording, a genera
dealer, residing at Mitcham, was brought up in custody
of Jabez Heifer, one of the constables attached to the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
charged with cruelly working a poor, worn-out, aged
donkey, totally unfit for work.

Heifer said that on Saturday afternoon be saw the de-
fendant driving a donkey and cart along the Borough
towards the Elephant and Castle. Perceiving that one
of its hind legs was perfectly useless, and that it could
with difficulty move along, he stopped it and found a
large wound near the hock. The poor beast was also
spavined, and in that deplorable state that it would be a
charity to have it slaughtered.
The Magistrate left the Court to look at the animal,
which stood trembling in the yard. On his return he
said he never saw a donkey in such a state before. They
were generally well taken care of by the poor, and never
allowed to be in that condition. He was of opinion
that it must have been cruelly treated.
The prisoner said that since he had had the donkey
he had allowed it to go on the common, and he used
it well. The sore and complaint came on without li is
knowledge, and be did not intend to use it any mare.
He should put it on the common again.
The magistrate told him that all • tha care in the
world would not cure the animal. Would he consent
to have it slaughtered immediately ?
The prisoner replied that he would, although he did
not like to part with the donkey, as he had promised
the man from whom he had it that he would not.
The constable and prisoner then took the poor animal
to the knacker's, where it was killed, and on returning
with the tail he was discharged. The magistrate, how-
ever, cautioned him how he acted for the future.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.

A HUSBAND, WIFE, AND CHILD DROWNED.
BATH, Monday.—One of the most distressing acci-
dents which it has been our duty for a long period to
record took place on the river Avon, Bradford, Wilts,
about six or seven miles from this city, on Saturday last.
The catastrophe, it appears from the best information
which has reached us, occurred in the following way
It seems that a very respectable tradesman, Mr. Tauner
(who carries on the business of an ironmonger in. the
town of .Bradford), possessed considerable mechanieal
genius, and within the past few months had devoted
much time in constructing an engine by which to propel
a small boat (a rowing one). Having accomplished his
desire in this respect, he has frequently of late used his
" steamer" as a pleasure beat on the river Avon. On
Saturday last he unfortunately took Mrs. Tanner (his
wife) and only daughter, about 2 years of age, out with
him on an excursion to Staverton, a village about one
mile from the town of Bradford. They steamed up there
safely, but on their return, near the " Wood," about
three quarters of a mile from their home, the accident to
which we refer occurred. It was stated at first that the
boiler had burst,,but this was net the fact. It appears that
by some means or. other Mrs. Tanner fell overboard, an
her husband, in his endeavour to rescue her from drown-
ing, sprung to the side of the boat, which being very
" crank" naturally, rendered more so by means of the
engine, capsized, burying himself and his helpless. little
daughter under water. We learn that no one was
present to witness the deplorable calamity, except a
shepherd's boy, too young and feeble to render any
assistance ; consequently, after a short struggle, the
father, mother, and child, sank to rise! no more. A
shooting party were not far ,from the spot wl ere the
disaster occurred, and were attracted thither
ere theyhitherbye(ituhlde
agonised cries for help of the deceased, but
reach the boat, the unfortunate family had met their
untimely grave. The accident took place about 6 o'clock
in the evening—Mr...Tanner about two hours before
being in his shop nerving customers. A search was
at once made for the bodies, which were found, broueht
to their house, and laid in 'shells. On the person of Mr.
Tauner were found a gold watch and some gold, &o.
but we are not aware if the former bad ceased to wove
Bssides the little girl who thus met her death, Mr. Tan
nor had one boy, an infant about four months old. This
catastrophe has thrown a gloom over the town, as both
Mr. Tauner and his wife were considered most amiable
persons, arid Mrs. Tanner's father had but a few hour
left her house, where he had been on a visit. Mr..Tau-
ner. was not more than 30 years of age, and it is worthy
ofremark that his friends had frequently urged him to
learn the art of swimming before he, commenced his ex
cursions ; and, had he done 80, this calamity might not
have happenedv. •

TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO THE BISHOP OP DURHAM.
Desirous of paying some tribute of resp4ct to the Bishop
of Dirhala on hikijcavine,b Auckland Castle, thu inhabi-
tants of Bishop Auckland and neighbourhood have con•
ceived the idea the.t in no way more appropriate or
gratifying to his lordship could this be done than by
inserting a memorial stained glass window in the east
end of South Church—his lordship's parish church.
The id. a of placing a new window in the church, which
is much needed, has been talked of for some time, and
it is thought if the plan could be carried out by a general
subscription, it would be the moans of at once beauti-
fying the church and of showing, probably in the most
acceptable way, the respect entertained of the high cha-
racter cf his lordship. It is also intended to present an
address to his' lordship.—Durham Chronicle.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last evening the ' bill" of Old Drury preSetited t
double attraction. It consisted of Shesidan Knovvleo
play of " Love," with Mrs. Wailer as the countess, and
a rid* burlesque founded on Sheridan's play of "Pizarro."
The attraction in the first instance, to us, was the per•
formanee of the lady, certainly not the play, for we can.
skier• " Love" to be one of Sheridan Knowles's failures.
In sustaining the pan of the proud countess Mrs.
Waller exhibited great taste and feeling, albeit, we
think, she scarcely gsse her passion "rein enough •"
but, taken as a whole, the performance was a delightful
and pleasing one. Mr. B. Sullivan sustained the part
of Huon very excellently ; but with this character we
find the same fault as with that of the coun-
tess, namely, its want of filling up. The play
was followed by the burlesque, which, with such a
cast, could scarcely fail to meet with decided success.
Imazine Keeley as Pizarro, attired in black velvet, with
steel breastplate, helmet, and gauntlets, and a pair of
imineme leather boots ; and Mrs. Keeley, in a sky-blue
over-coat lined with crimson, as Rolla. The applause
and laughter that greeted both of these talented artistes
can be easily guessed. The other parts of the burlesque
were cleverly sustained by Mrs. Frank Matthews, Miss
Cleveland, and Mr. G. Honey. The plot of the original
pl ,y has been closely followed by the author, and had a
little originality been introduced into the burlesque it
would not have suffered by it. The scenery was exceed.

HAY .11A.RKET THEATRE.

Last night the "Inconstant" was revived for the de
but of Mr. Murdoch, a gentleman who has long held a
high reputation in the United States, and has there main-
tained the fame of a piece almost forgotten (save by
students) on this side of the Atlantic. His appearance
was decidedly in his favour. Tall, well built, and with
a strongly-marked countenance, he awakened the re-
membrance of those rakes of another century in
whom a certain degree of physical strength was a
necessary element. Hii swing had the old school assur-
ance about it, the sparkling dialogue was delivered
with the confidence of a professed wit, and the deli-
neation might generally be pronounced forcible. On the
other hand, he seemed to be deficient in that etherial
buoyancy which was once found consistent with mus-
cular development, and which, by giving a show of im-
pulte to all the acts of the unvirtuous heroes of comedy,
carried their rascalities easily along. His talent was
most advantageously displayed in the last act, where
the most force and the least lightness are required in
bringing out the effect of a really terrific situation.
The inclination to cry like a child, when one of the
cowardly villains into whose hands he has fallen tweaks
him by the nose, and the check which he puts upon
his feelings that he may not risk a fatal quarrel, were
excellent touches, and admirable was his rush back
into his habitual hilarity when the moment of peril
was past, and he felt himself restored, as by magic,
to the enjoyment of life. A most violent tran-
sition was contemplated by the author, and this
was completely realised by the actor, who by his per-
formance in this remarkable scene brought down the
curtain with loud applause.

The piece generally was fairly acted, and we may
especially pick out the Duretete of •Mr. W. Farren, as
marked by a great deal of ease and confidence, and the
" Old Mirabel" of Mr. Chippendale, which was a highly
coloured picture of the old school. Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam
sustained Oriana with considerable effect, though the
part is out of her usual line, and Miss Talbot looked
magnificent in the character of arre, the Farquhar
"Beatrice." Altogether the play, which was given in
a three-act version, moved on merrily enough ; and
indeed, notwithstanding the faults of coarseness and
improbability, it is still a luxury to listen to the keen
and highly.polished dialogue. •

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.

-
A HUSBAND, WIFE, AND CHILD DROWNED.
BATH, Monday.—One of the most distressing acci-
dents which it has been our duty for a long period to
record took place on the river Avon, Bradford, Wilts,
about six or seven miles from this city, on Saturday last.
The catastrophe, it appears fr)rn the best information
which has reached us, occurred in the following way :
It seems that a very respectable tradesman, Mr. Tanner
(who carries on the business of an ironmonger in the
town of Bradford), possessed considerable mechanical
genius, and within the past few months bad devoted
much time in constructing an engine by which to propel
a small boat (a rowing one). Having accomplished his
desire in this respect, be has frequently of late used his
"steamer" as a pleasure boat on the river Avon. On
Saturday last he unfortunately took Mrs. Tanner (his
wife) and only daughter, about 3 years of age, out with
him on an excursion to Staverten, a village about one
mile from the town of Bradford. They steamed up there
Wily, but on their return, near, the iyood," about

three quarters of a mile from their home, the accident to
which we refer occurred. It was stated at first that the
boiler had burst, but this was not the fact. It appears that
by some means or other Mrs. Tanner fell overboard, an
ber husband, in his endea.vour to rescue her from drown-

I;g'
sprung 'to the side of the boat, which being very
"crank" naturally, rendered more .so by means of the
encine, capsized, burying himself and his helpless little
daughter under water. We learn that no one was
present to witness the deplorable calamity, except a
shepherd's boy, too young and feebly to render any
assistance ; consequently, after a short struggle, the
father, mother, and child, Ea ti k to rise no more. A,
s'aooting party were not far from the spot wl • e the
disaster occurred, and were attracted thither by the
agonised cries for help of the deceased, but ere they could
reach the boat, the unfortunate family bad rnet their
untimely grave. The accident took place about 6 o'clnek
to the evening—Mr. Tanner about two hours before
being in his shop serving enstomers. A search was
at once made for the bodies, which were found, brought
to their house, and laid in shells, On the person of Mr.
Tanner were found a gold watch and some gold, &c.
).nt we are not aware, if the former had ceased to move
Besides the little girl who thus met her death, Mr. Tan.
ner had one boy, an infant about four months old. This
catastrophe has thrown a gloom over the town, as both ,
Mr. Tanner and his wife were considered 'most amiab'e
persons, and Mrs. Tanner's father had but a few hour
left her house, where he had been on a visit. Mr. Tau -
opt. was not more than 30 years of age, and it is worthy
oift-emark that his friends bad frequently urged him to
14arn the art of swimming before he commenced his ex
,cbrsions ; and. had he done so, this calamity
_might uc t
hove happened,

The funeral was attended by her two sons, who, before
the earth had been closed over the coffin, disputed
respecting the few articles of furniture their deceased pa-
rent had left. The words used were anything but be-
cominz, resulted in blows, and eventually a regular
stand-up fight took place amongst the gravestones.—

TIIE NEW DIOCESE OP WESTMINSTER

Her Majesty's Government have determined on
a subdivision of the diocese of London, and Dr.
Tait, who is to have the supervision of the metro-
politan see, will have only one;half the field over
which the Bishops of London have hitherto pre-
sided. The diocese of London will henceforth
consist of all that portion of the metropolis which
is within the City-walls, in addition to the exten-
sive parishes of Bethnaltreen, Clerkenwell, Isling-
ton, Limehouse, Shoreditch, Stepney, St. George's
East, Whitechapel, Hackney, and Stoke Newing-
ton, together with several parishes in &sex, Kent,
and Surrey, which are at present under the-juris-
diction of the Bishop of London.

The Bishop of Westminster will have in his gift,
amongst other livings, the vicarage of Kensington,
worth 1,4001. a year ; the vicarage of St. Martin-
in-the-Fields, worth 1,4001. a year ; the incum-
bency of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, worth 1,2001.
a year ; the vicarage of Fulham, worth 9001. a
year ; the incumbency of Brompton, worth 1,7001.
a year ; the vicarage of Hammersmith, worth 6001.
a year ; the incumbency of Highgate, worth 4001.
a year ; and several minor benefices. No one is at
present named for the new bishopric of Westmin-
ster.

PICCOLOMINI'S CONCERT.—Piccolomini is a gem of a
girl. If she is a descendant of a line of popes, she does
honour to St. Peter's chair. She acts perfectly ; she sings
deliciously. We went reluctantly to her concert, for the
wretched old screech owl that edits the A thencem said
81,e could not sing : and we were foolish enough to fancy
that although he lies uniformly on things literary, he
might tell occasional truth on things musical. No such
thing. Her music is without flaw : as to her acting, its
charm is indescribable. The very spirit of music dwells
in her ; she is eager to sing ; she carries all the humour
and pathos of Italy in that statuesque head of hers ; her
voice has the intoxication of champagne. This was the
effect of a bare morning concert. What would it be with
the costume and colouring of the opera-house ? And
Piecolomini is only 18 ; what will she be at 25 ?
THE CONCERT OF MONDAY.—A correspondent, better
up in matters musical than we, sends us the following :
—Piccolomini and the artistes of her Majesty Theatre,
Belletti, Beneventano, Charles Braham, and Madlle.
Finoli, and Pilotti gave a morning concert here on
Monday last, which was attended by all the elite of
this fashionable watering place. Madlle. Piccolumini
continues to astonish her audiences by the fresh elec-
tric style of her singing ; in all her movements there
is a natural ease and grace. Madlle. Finoli possesses
a fine deep contralto voice. The artistic Belletti, aided
by the deep tones of Beneventano, gives unusual de-
light. Braham promises to become a great singer,
fully maintaining the name his family has secured by
its musical knowledge and talent,—Qountry paper.

lif R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
,erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
