TIIE STATE OF NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, January 28, says :--I had
scarcely time to translate and send off by my last
letter the circular of the Director of Police, Signor
Commendatore Ajossi. Of course, it was impos-
sible to make any observations on this extraor-
dinary document, nor do I know that it was neces-
sary ; st.ill I may recap to two points in it, which
establish simple suspicion of political feeling as
ground sufficient for arrest, and the number of
arrests made as a necessary proof of the zeal and
fidelity of the Intendenti of provinces. This cir-
cular, I may observe, only gives in a written form
what has long been the practice of the Govern-
ment of the Two Sicilies, and itself justifies the re-
presentations, called by ignorance or interest
"exaggerations," which I have sent you from time
to time. It proves several points worth noting at
the present moment, as, that the Government has
no doubt of the excellence of its system ; that it is
entirely opposed to all expression of opinion through
the press or otherwise ; and that, most important
of all, there are no guarantees for security in the
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. By virtue of those
words, "seniplici sospeti," a man may be stopped
in his morning's walk, as happens continually, and
hurried off to the Prefecture. He may be
wakened out of his slumbers at. midnight, as hap-
pens continually, and be compelled to finish his
night as best he can in a dingy prison. He may be
stopped at any time or anywhere, as happens con-
tinually, and have his pockets or any part of his per-
son searched, and his letters and papers taken to the
first lamp and examined by one of the worthless
scoundrels who consent for a wretched stipend to
do the dirty work of their masters. There are
numberless facts daily occurring which bear me
out in my assertions, and some ridiculous enough;
take the following as en instance.
A man named
Michele Puente is walking up the Toledo at night ;
he has a sore throat, and is softening it by eating
an orange, the peel of which he throws away. lie
finds himself arrested all at once, and to say why be
is puzzled. In the meantime up come some gen.
darmes with a load of orange peel in their hands,
and give orders that the man shall be released, as
they were not tricoloured objects which had been
thrown about. This fact occurred the other even-
ing. With regard to those who are taken off to
Prison their case is not determined according to
law; they may be detained a few days, or as many
years; they may see a judge or not, according to
caprice: Pandola was arrested now nearly two
months since. The law requires that the Commis-

CORONERS' FEES.

Mr. COBBETT asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Ministers to introduce any measure during the
present session to alter the law as regarded the payment of
coroners' fees and expenses.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was considerable inconve-
nience experienced by coroners, in consequence of the
present state of the law on the subject, and it was his
intention to bring in a bill to allow coroners to appeal to
the Court of Queen's Bench in reference to the payment
of
their fees and expenses.
The Customs Acts Bill went through committeo.
The Probate and Administration (India) Bill went
through committee.
The Prisons (Scotland) Acts Continuance Bill was read
a second time and ordered to be committed.

THE SCOTCH IRON MANUFACTURE.--Our OW:
gow correspondent informs us that on Wednesday 148;
about 87 of the 126 furnaces in blast were damped, °win.
to the demands of the miners for an advance. The resolw,
tion to do this was arrived at last week and on the lot ol
February it was carried into effect. Neither the master/

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2d state that some
placards attacking the General-in-Chief of the
army in Africa had been stuck on the walls of that
city but were torn down by the police. The Moorish
prisoners at Seville are represented to be much
milder in character than had been expected, and
also to be of excessive cleanliness. The Bishop of
Seville having paid them a visit, they treated him
with profound respect.—A letter from Madrid gives
some explanation relative to the Queen's letter to
the Pope :_._.
" The report having been spread that the Queen
had written a letter to the Holy Father, ex-
pressing repect and devotedness to him, the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs sounded her Majesty on
the subject, and is said to have acquired the cer-
titude that her Majesty had written such a letter.
The Minister, it is stated, wrote on the matter to
the President of the Council, who is now in Africa,
and received for answer that the latter shared com-
pletely the sentiments of the Queen. But not-
withstanding all this, the general opinion is that
the policy
of Spain will continue to be one of ob-

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last night Mr. Charles Dillon made his first appearance
on the boards of Old Drury, in the character of " William
Tell." On the occasion a very numerous audience assem-
bled, and a most cordial reception was given to him on his
reappearance in the metropolis, after so long an absence,
With respect to Mr. Dillon's performance of the part of
Tell, we were in some measure disappointed. Not that it
lacked power or sentiment, but it was wanting in lofty in
spiration, dignity, and grandeur. At times there seemed to
be a disposition on the part of Mr. Dillon to degenerate into
rant, which, although it seemed to please a small party who
were profuse with their applause, created a feeling quite the
opposite in the minds of those who remembered the emotion
produced by the original representative of the part. Mr.

FRANCE AND SAVOY

The Savoy Gazette publishes the following pro-
test on the part of the Marquis Costa de Beauregard
against the annexation of Savoy to France :
Monsieur le Directeur, —I have lying before me the Savor
Gazette, No. 2,034, in which I perceive a letter, wherein I
am described as the emissary to Paris of the annexationist
party, and one of its most fervent champions.
As my sole answer to the &due Public of Lyons, and its
commentator at Nice, who have accredited this falsehood, I
beg you, sir, to have the kindness to republish the following
declaration, by which, at another period, I have already re-
futed these calumnies :
" Signalised as one of the warmest espousers of the separa-
tist idea, I owe it as a duty to myself, I owe it to my past
career, with which I shall over be consistent, to give a
formal contradiction to this imputation, that is an insult
to me.

Vv"
I know the situation of my country, and its too well
founded causes of complaint ; therefore, so long as I shall
hold the position of a deputy, I shall defend its interest
with devotedness and constancy, as far as my weak powers
permit. But 1 shall remain true, before and despite every-
thing else, to the flag of leitimaey, to my dynastic affections,
to the hereditary traditions I have preserved in my family.

" Chambery, Aug. 11, 1859."
Such is the programme of honour from which 1 shall
never swerve. As for my political faith on the vital question
so profoundly exciting Savoy, I shall proclaim it aloud : I
cannot, in any case, take part in an internal movement hay-
ing a tendency to provoke separatist manifestations, for in
my opinion these manifestations would be revolutionary,
and become still more capable and unworthy were intrigue
or foreign pressure to be mixed up in it.
Only one power has the right of legalising any appeal to
the people—this power is that of the King. On the day
that Victor Emmanuel should say to the inhabitants of
Savoy, " Choose between France and me," then passions,
interests, fears, and hopes may have free scope ; honour
and loyalty will have no more scruples, for in that day the
cession of Savoy would be the wish of its sovereign.

SPECIMENS OF YANKEE RUMOUR.

(From Wit and liiimour.)
Four fast young men, the sons of gentlemen of wealth,
were b*ught before Cuurt in New Orleans as common
rowdies. The judges inquired what their bad course of
life could be ascribed to. Most probably to their four
fathers.

" Steel your heart," said a considerate father to his son,
"for you are going now among some fascinating girls."--
"I bad much rather steal theirs," said the unpromising
young man.

Compliments, carried to an extravagant extent, become
rude offences. There is a material difference between
prettily asking for a lock of hair, and taking the whole
scalp.

A. sceptic thinks it very extraordinary that an us once
talked like a man. Isn't it still more extraordinary that
thousands of men are continually talking like asses ?
A popular author exclaims, " What a pity some quadru-
peds can't talk !" Wo are rather disposed to say, " What
a pity some bipeds can I"
Dull writers should be careful not to steal brilliant pas-
sages, lest the brilliancy betray them by the contrast. A
fellow stole a fish in the market-place and slipped it under
his vest. A gentleman meeting him, as he passed out, and
seeing several inohes of the tail below his vest, advised him
either to wear a longer jacket or to steal a shorter fish.
There is a man in Exeter whose memory is so short that
it only roaches to his knees. Per consequence, he has not
paid for his last pair of bogs.
The editor of the Eastern Argus is melancholy in his re-
flections upon the close of the year. He says he shall soon
be lying in his grave. When he gots there it will be time
for hire to stop lying. The ruling passion is often strong
in death, but seldom after it.
The editor of the Globe says that he "hopes to reach the
truth." He is laying out for himself a long journey. He
had better make his will before he starts.
The editor of the Star says that he has never mur-
dered the truth, He never gets near enough to do it any
bodily harm.
A democratic editor in Ohio, whose paper is as dingy and
dirty as if manufactured from the unwashed rags of his own
back, abuses us at a terrible rate. We should imagine his
daily beverage must be aqua fortis stirred up with a light-
ning rod.
There is a Sag-Nichts editor in Mississippi, very dirty
in his personal habits, who never holds a political opinion
24 hours. He shifts oftenor than he shirts.
The editor of the New Orleans Republican says that he
it rarely takes the air." The fellow seems very sparing
in the use of the elements—taking the air seldom and water
never.

A democratic editor in Indiana threatens to handle us
without gloves." We would certainly never think of
handling him without at least three pair, and thick ones at
that.

A certain editor, who has had a controversy with us sug-
gests that ke and we look each other in the face. But he
w0:11:1 have the advantage of us; he would have much the
better prospect.

pressed into three, so that the parts of Emma and Michael
afford but little scope for the display of artistic skill. At
the fall of the curtain Mr. Dillon had to appear to acknow-

TILE COMMERCIAL TREATY.

The Independence Belge says that the proposals
to be submitted by Mr. Gladstone to the House of
Commons as a consequence of the commercial treaty,
which was ratified on Saturday at Paris, are as
follows :

" Abolition of duties on all the productions of
French manufacture.

"Assimilation of the duties on French spirits
with those on English colonial spirits. The duty
on those first named is at present 15s. a gallon, on
the others only 75.; the duty on French brandy

FRANCE AND SAVOY.

The Savoy Gazette publishes the following pro-
test on the part of the Marquis Costa de Beauregard
against the annexation of Savoy to France :
Monsieur le Directeur,—l have lying before me the Savoy
Gazette, No. 2,034, in which I perceive a letter, wherein I
am described as the emissary to Paris of the annexationist
party, and one of its most fervent champions.
As my solo answer to the Salut Publie of Lyons, and its
commentator at Nice, who have accredited this falsehood, I
beg you, sir, to have the kindness to republish the following
declaration, by which, at another period, I have already re-
futed these calumnies :

" Signalised as one of the wannest espousers of the separa-
tist idea, I owe it as a duty to myself, I owe it to my past
career, with which I shall ever be consistent, to give a
formal contradiction to this imputation, that is an insult
to me.

" I know the situation of my country, and its too well
founded causes of complaint; therefore, so long as I shall
hold the position of a deputy, I shall defend its interest.
with devotedness and constancy, as far as my weak powers
permit. But I shall remain true, before and despite every-
thing else, to the flag of legitimacy, to my dynastic affections,
to the hereditary traditions I have preserved in my family.
" Chambery, Aug. 11, 1859."
Such is the programme of honour from which 1 shall
never swerve. As for my political faith on the vital question
so profoundly exciting Savoy, I shall proclaim it aloud; I
cannot, in any case, take part in an internal movement hav-
ing a tendency to provoke separatist manifestations, for in
my opinion these manifestations would be revolutionary,
and become still more capable and unworthy were intrigue
or foreign pressure to be mixed up in it.

Only one power has the right of legalising any appeal to
the people—this power is that of the King. On the day
that Victor Emmanuel should say to the inhabitants of
Savoy, " Choose between France and me," then passions,
interests, fears, and .hopes may have free scope ; honour
and loyalty will have no more scruples, for in that day the
cession of Savoy would be the wish of its sovereign.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2d state that some
placards attacking the General•in-Chief of the
army in. Africa had been stuck on the walls of that
city but were torn down by the police. The Moorish
prisoners at Seville are represented to be much
milder in character than had been expected, and
also to be of excessive cleanliness. The Bishop of
Seville having paid them a visit, they treated him
with profound respect.—A letter from Madrid gives
some explanation relative to the Queen's letter to
the Pope :

" The report having been spread that the Queen
had written a letter to the Holy Father, ex-
pressing repect and devotedness to him, the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs sounded her Majesty on
the subject, and is said to have acquired the cer-
titude that her Majesty had written such a letter.
The Minister, it is stated, wrote on the matter to
the President of the Council, who is now in Africa,
and received for answer that the latter shared com-
pletely the sentiments of the Queen. But not-
withstanding all this, the general opinion is that
the policy of Spain will continue to be one of ob-

;elvationso _long as Europe shall remain undis-
turbed by grave events."

The King of Sardinia has issued a decree placing
his army on a peace-footing in so far as promotion
and the administration of military justice are con-
cerned. In another decree the mayors are directed
to take the preliminary steps for the political elec-
tions.

General Garibaldi, in coming from Milan with
his young bride, stopped one day at Turin. He has
since left for Genoa, where he was to meet M.
Alexandre Dumas.
