after all the whispering, andascendingand descend-
ing and turning in the passages of the prison, we
arrived at the chamt ers of the Procuratore Generale
or Attorney-Generali where I was subjected to an
interrogation,' the learned gentleman's object
being to get me to substantiate certain assertions
which he made. But to return to the intimidation

again, ' take him,' said the A ttorney-General, 'the

liao., having passed through nothing but one welt-.
lighted passage:
" Whatever might be said of the irresponsibility
of the Neapolitan government for the cruelty and
extortion practsed by the oolers upon the unfor-
tunate inmates of the Vicaria, it is impossible to
conceive the intention or source of command of thin
species of ' iwerrogating.'
" I cannot pass over one observation of the
Kinglear ni. Naplesned.lawyer isby dispensed,whose hands
and which
the ' justice'
will
showofth
very clearly-the animus by which he was inspired
in regard to ours Ives. 'lf you were not a party
to ihe iusurie.,tion try movement,' said he, ' why
did you not hin4er the insurgents from proceeding
on their voyage ?" Because we were acting on
compulsion,' answered I. ' But, having charge of
the engines and boilers, you could have altered the
course of the ship.' The ship's c.atrse is guided
by the helm.' That wo shall have to inquire into
further,' continued be ; ' but it is evident you
might have burst the boilers. Why did you not
do that ?' Such is the manner and the-quality of
the justice dispensed at the Vicar,ia.
" Before taking leave of this wretched place,
the three months' residence iu which had re-
&iced us all to a very low state, and bed turn d
the brain of my unfortunate companion (Mr.
Watt), I will just relate a slight circumstance,
in order to show the brutal character of the treat-
ment meted out to one of the crew of the Cagliar'.
The man, being taken with fever, was ordered to
the prison hospital and taken there handcuffed.
When so far restored as to be'or dered back to the
dungeon, lie was again handcuffed, although E 0
weak as scarcely to be able to stand. The gaoler,
whilst fixing the handcuffs, asked the prisoner what
countryman he was. The prisoner, thinking that
the question was put out of curiosity, reap,nd.ed in
a simple manner, 'lam a Gen ese.' ' And I'm a
Neapolitan,' added the gaoler, wrenching the hand-
cuffs so tight that the man bore the marks for
weeks after.

"At last the time came for our removal to Sa-
lerno, the assize town of the district, where the
landing had taken place, and thiiher we were re-
moved, at night, in vehicles. Mr. Watt and I
were placed iu a carriage together, handcuffed,
and then our arms were tied together above the
elbow-, as we sat side by side, and so tight that on
arriving at our destination we found them quite
discoloured, owing to the circulation of the blood
stopped. We had two gendarme s with their
iirelocks hi the carriage, oppo,ite to us, and one on
the box with the coachman.

" Bad enough as this treatment may appear, still
our gendarmes thought they had been exceedingly
clement, as upon finishing the journey they begged
to be rementl'ered.

" When in Salerno we had a better cell and bet-
ter air, but still very confined and close ; but our
great st sufferings arose from the despair in which
we were, as we were now aboVe six months in pri-
son without seeing our consul or a friend, or with-
out being brought to trial.
"As I have before sfated, Mr. Watt's mind had
become affected, even whilst in Naples, and upon
arriving in Salerno he, in a fit of despondency,
seiz,td a razor and would have saved the King of
Naples and the EA/1 of Clarendon any further
trouble by putting an end to his life, if he had not
been prevented. As for my part, I was attacked
with fits at dill 'rent times, to which Iliad not been
ever subject bcfoie.

" During th,i whole of this time, although to-
tally neglected by our own government, we were
k pt constantly iu the necessary funds by the kind-
ness of our Neapolitan friends ; without which as-
sistance, I have no 'hesitation in saying, we should
have both perished in our loathsome duugcon.
"At last, after some seven months' incarceration,
we received a visit from the Rev. Mr. Pugh, the
protestant clergyman resident at Naples, and soon
after from Mr. Baibar, the consul. There was
some misapprehension caused by the former gentle-
man's report of our condition and of our statements
to him, but the matter was to a certain degree
rectified by the consul.

" The rev. gentleman must have felt inwardly
convinced of our lack of want?, as he reported ; for
he took 20 ducats away with him that had been en-
trusted to his care for supplying our wants, if
needed, without over proffering them.
" When the trial commenced, we were taken in
the morning from the prison to the court-house,
handcuffed two and two, and were paraded through
the town—a goodly show of some 250 released con-
victs, and the passengers and crew of the Cagliari,
who had been rotting in ptisou nine months, in the
same clothes they were taken in, and fed on one
loaf of bread and one plate of soup, besides what
they could purchase themselves.
"I begged the judge not to cause us to be hand-
cuffed, and placed with felons, in one ca'egory.
But he said he had no power to make any al.era-
tions, as it was the law. However, when the affair
began to be discussed at home, and the attention
of the ministers called officially to the subject, the
law' was relaxed, and instead of the parade on
foot we were conveyed to the court in carriages.
This called forth the indignation of one of the Sar-
dinians. bra' ead,' said he, addressing the court,
of sending us hero in carriages to deceive the pub-
lic, it would look better if you were to give us a
cover to sleep under at night, or some more food.'
"At the same time we were allowed exercise in
the prison yard, and a larger and airier room as-
signed to us.
"Of the trial, or rather judicial farce, I will say
no more at present than that the presiding judge
seemed to ma to be a very good old man and just,
leaning towards all the accused, but as every point
of law has to be settled by the telegraph wires from
Gaeta (the residence of the King), he had but little
to say, or rather to decide. The bench of judges is
composed of seven, and there is no jury. The At-
torney-General, whose bias may be tested by what
I related of him above, leaves no means of chicane
unused to push the accusations against all parties.
There were some moments of interest during the
trial. It was said iu the indictment that a certain
number of insurgents were killed iu an encounter
with the troops commanded by Colonel So-and•so.
The prisoners denied this, and affirmed they had
suiTenclered and were shot afterwards, 56 of them.
That is the man,' cried one of the prisoners, point-
ing to the colonel, who had entered the court,
that is the man who commanded the prisoners to
be shot.'

" The gallant colonel's spirit seemed sadly
troubled. Baron Nicotera, who, it will be remem-
bered, was the leader at the' seizure of the ship, still
maintains throughout his courage, proclaims openly
removal from pri-
his intention of subverting the Government ; and,
Upon one witness deposing that be (the baron) had
given orders to cry ' Viva it Re?' he denied the as-
sertion ; for, said be, `Never irill I, nor never did
shEu_sbt,iseieligannupdertiistolnht:evne
