that it soon got nearly an hour and a half behind
time, to the intense annoyance and wrath of
Messrs. Flannigan and Co. The result of this
untoward delay was that the Prince had been
received before the train arrived, and so the chance
of a further insult to the" Royal guest was lost.
The display of illuminations, fireworks, and arches
at this town has been very beautiful. The Prince
went to a ball here last nigl't, which passed eff
most successfully. In an hour or so he will start
for Peterborough and Port Hope, en route for
Toronto. Before he leaves Mr. Flannigan intends
attempting something like an Orange demonstra-
tion, which, I fear, may end in his getting his
head broken. It is said that all has been satis-
factorily arranged at Toronto. I sincerely hope
so, but, as sonic of the Kingston men are going
up there, I fear the affair will scarcely pass over
without some disturbance. The Kingston leaders
have expressed their firm determination to follow
the Prince everywhere, an announcement which
has greatly raised the wrath of some American
gentlemen, who swear that if they come after
him to Niagara they will be thrown over the
Falls. So bent are the Americans on giving
him a good reception, and on consulting his
wishes in every way, that I am certain it would
cost the lives of half concerned in it if even the
semblance of an Orange demonstration were
attempted to be • forced upon the Prince during his
visit to the United States.

G.A.RII33LDI IN NAPLES'.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)

NAPLES, SEPT. 14.
If there ever was a Muratist party in Naples it
was because the Neapolitans despaired of getting
rid of the Bourbons by any other means ;—better
the "old gentleman " himself than a Bourbon. If
there be ever any &lance for the success of a Mu-
ratist party, it will be because of the divisions of
the Liberals, and the efforts of the leaders of the
national movement to obtain impracticable objects.
At present there is not a man who does not pro-
test against such a solution of the Neapolitan diffi-
culty, and who would not resist it even with arms.
The bare idea of substituting French influence or
domination for Austrian is universally scouted with
indignation. This is undoubtedly the present feel-
ing and opinion of the people ; but should discords
arise—should the Republican party make head, as
it does—l will not answer for the consequences. It
is partly from a fear of such dangers—as yet distant,
but by no means improbable—that I have always
maintained the advantage of limiting the objects of
Italian ambition, and of resting contented for the
present with the consolidation of the Southern
Italian kingdom. It seems, however, to be deter-
mined otherwise, and Englishmen can only express
a hope that the final result may be favourable to
liberty. With the profoundest love and veneration
for Garibaldi, I have met with many a thinking
man who shakes his head at the announcement in
the address to the Palermitans that the annexation
is to be proclaimed from the heights of the Quiri-
nal. If it points to an immediate march on Rome,
it appears to me more like the dream of a poet than
the decision of a statesman ; but late events have
set aside all the usual rules of calculation, and all
that we can do is to wait and hope. Meantime,
whatever meets the eye and ear is very inspiring,
and he must be a cold-blooded man who does not
rejoice and sympathise with the Neapolitans
in their newly-acquired liberties. ' The flags
still wave from the windows as in the first
days of rejoicing, and the streets are marked
by an animation which they have not known
for many a year. In fact, the nation has been
dead and buried for a quarter of a century, and I
can scarcely realise the scenes which mark its re-
surrection. Where one stood watching spies and
policemen in plain dress we sec now the feathers
of the Piedmontese riflemen or the red coats of the
Garibaldini. Where once, reigned a silence that
chilled, and a suspicious glancing to the right and
left which marked the amount of E ersonal insecu
rity, men speak out boldly, discuss questions of
high interest, and in the freest way, and chant in
chorus in the public places in a style which would
have filled every vacant prison in the city a few
weeks since. What a moral change must all this
produce in the character of the people l—for it was
the priests and policemen who made them hypo-
crites and untruthful.
General Ebez's division came in on Monday
night, and was marched on to Caserta on Tuesday
morning, where it will repose before going to the
frontier. The General is, lam sorry to say, down
with fever, but insists on going on. In fact, ill-
dressed and dirty as most of the troops are, and
many very young, there is a resolution which dis-
tinguishes and unites all; in will they are giants,
and, morally speaking, there never was a finer

army. Great numbers of our countrymen have ar-
rived, noble looking fellows, ready to dare and sac-
rifice everything for the liberties of their country.
Colonel Peard has been appointed to the command
of the English Legion. I mentioned in my last that
General Turr's division had been sent to Avriano
and Avelino to put down an oneute fomented by
the priests. They returned yesterday, bringing
with them 100 prisoners, but the ashes still smoul-
der. On Wednesday night the generale was beaten,
and troops and a detachment of the National Guard
were sent off to St. Antonio and Mileto, a few
miles out of the city, to put down a disturbance
headed also by the priests, and yesterday morning
70 prisoners were brought in, consisting principally
of the lower classes, who had been stirred up by
their spiritual advisers. There was a little move-
ment, too, last evening at the Porta Capuana, close
to the Vicaria. Some of the Garibaldians who
were there were surrounded by the populace,
and ordered to cry " Viva Victor Emmanuel.
Viva Garibaldi !" cries which were, of course, re-
sponded to heartily, but in an instant afterwards.
cries were raised of" Viva a Re,emorte a Garibalet
and two of the red jackets were killed and

unless the work of consolidation is substituted for

the , expression of reactionary feeling • it is
impossi-
ble that one who has for so many years under cir-
cumstances which made it dangerous to speak or
write never hesitated to expose the horrors of the
old Government can otherwise than rejoice in the
downfall of the Bourbons, and sympathise with the
people in the enjoyment of their newly-gotten liber-
ties. But I am not blind to the danger of the
situation, and I should bitterly regret any acts of
omission or commist,ion which could check the pro-
gress of fiber ty. A Government must be established
at once. If my dream of a Southern Kingdom,
with a Pi ince of the house of Savoy, cannot be rea-
lised, for Heaven's sake let there be immediate an-
nexation under Victor Emmanuel. Government
and order are the first necessities for such a country
as that of the Two Sicilics.

The Cfficial Journal for the 12th and 13th pub-
lishes the following important decree:—" All
Royal property is declared national." " Governors
of Provinces are. appointd as substitutes for the
existing Intendents, who are to be the first civil
and administrative authorities of the provinces."
" A college for the sons of the people' is esta-
blished, where the children of the poor of the

Two Sicilies will be educated at the expense

of the State. They are to be received from the
age of 7 to 10, and instructed, not only in read-

ing, writing, and arithmetic, but in a practical
