We extract the following from a letter from
Gaeta :

GA ETA, OCT. 26

" Gaeta and its vicinity have quite a martial
aspect. Between the barren mountains and the
sea runs a road where there are a few thinly-inha-
bited villages. At present that road and those
villages swarm with soldiers. The theatre of war
is gradually approaching us ; the distance to Capua
is about 54 kilometres. The river Garigliano,
which runs through the plain between this and
Capua, is about 30 yards broad, where it divides
the road ; it is a sluggish stream of no great depth ;
the left bank is flat; the right bank is somewhat
steep, and more capable of defence. The Neapoli-
tans have a camp there of from 3,000 to 4,000 men ;
they have commenced erecting a tete-de-pont and
some unimportant earthworks.

" Between the Garigliano and Gaeta, on the
seashore, is the town of Mola, in the very Bay of
Gaeta. Here there are some LOCO troops. In
Gaeta there is a numerous artillery, 600 guns, all
the artillery depots, a battalion; of Chasseurs, the
Swiss veterans, 1,500 sailors, hussars, dragoons, and
miscellaneous troops.
" As France does not recognise the blockade of
the place, Kiug Francis 11. may quietly remain
here till he has no mole money to pay the troops.
He still possesses an army of 50,000 men eager to
fight, and volunteers continually join.
" The King holds reviews, shows himself, and
endeavours to inspire confidence; but he is no soldier
and is surrounded by inefficient officers. In the
Neapolitan army rank goes by seniority. The Com-
mander-in-Chief is Marshal Ritucci, whose energy
and skill do not respond to his good will. The same
may be said of the generals. The officers gene-
rally are intelligent.
" The Neapolitan soldiers will in all probability
be badly led, badly placed, badly engaged. As on
the Ist October, they will fight well, but this time
they will have to compete against the regular Pied-
mouteso troops, who will take advantage of every
fault.

" OCTOBER 27.

" The day before yesterday the Royalist army
received the order to beat a retreat; during the
night it took up position on this side of the Gari-
gliano, after a sharp artillery engagement between
its rear guard and the Piedmontese vanguard, which
had passed Sessa. Thus the struggle is come to the
Bay of Gaeta. In Capua were left 6,000 men and
artillery. Behind the river there are already
20,000 men, who can be reinforced by the garri-
sons of Mola and of Gaeta. The bridge is being de-
stroyed, and barricades thrown up in front of Mola.
" The army still hopes that there will be some
foreign intervention ; it is confident, chafes at being
ordered to retreat, and complains of not being well
commanded. There is a certain want of order
visible. The commissariat is no longer regular in its
supplies, and camp utensils are wanting ; but this
might happen anywhere. At the present moment
no serious defence can be made, except behind the
walls of Gaeta, and there, with the sea open, the
Royalists may hold out for a long time.
" To-day six Sardinian steamers came to shell
the only road of communication which, following
continuously the sea-side, joins Gaeta with the
Garigliano. At the same moment the Redoubtable
came in from Beyrou t• She was signalled to place
herself across the road, while the Saint-Louis
cleared decks for action, and performed the same
manoeuvre. A Sardinian officer came to take the
orders of the Admiral Barbier de Tinan, and con-
veyed them to the commander of his division, which
immediately sailed again for Naples."

Two MEN KILLED AND Two INJURED AT BIR-
KEN111311).—On Thursday morning two labourers named
John llamas and Edward Davies were killed, and James
Ankers and W. Price were injured by the falling of a jenny
at the Birkenhead dock works, near the Wallasey Bridge.
The jenny fell in consequence of the balk which supported
it snapping in two.—Liverpool Post.
TIIE DOUBLE MURDER AT BRADFORD.—DEATH
OP THE MURDERESS.—For several days hopes were enter-
tained that Margaret Sutton, alias Gowland, who cut the
throats of her two children, at Bradford, and then cut her
own, might recover, but she gradually grew weaker, mental
agony tending as much to keep her prostrate as physical
suffering from her wounded throat. Yesterday morning,
however, she expired in the infirmary, having been calm and
sensible to the last. A police officer was in constant attend.
ance in the ward. Though quite penitent, and evidently
preparing for her death, she was yet frequently, for some
days, suffering from agony of mind, and expressed herself
to the effect that she intended, when taking the lives of her
children, also to take her own, that all might have gone
to Heaven together. Indeed, her agony was frequently so
great that she started up in frantic paroxysms, seerningly
imagining that she heard a child scream, and evincing. the
utmost horror: but at other times she was calm, sensible,
and perfectly indifferent as to whether sho recovered or
not. The inquest on the body is expecte tot beheldhe at
ren' the
same time when the adjourned inquest on hilds
bodies is resumed—that is, on Tuesday next. The fellow
Gowland is still about the town, displaying the utmost
bravado and impudence.
