THE ENGLISH PRISONERS AT SALERNO.

Mr. Watt, of Newcastle, the father of one of the
British engineers confined in the dungeons of Na-
ples, has received the following letter from the
chaplain to the British Embassy at that place
"Naples, Deo. 9.
" Sir,—l received your letter on Monday, the rthr
and knowing how anxious your son was to hear of all
his dear relatives at home, I took the very first oppor-
tunity (i.e., yesterday) of going down to Salerno to show
it to him ; though it was a testa, or holiday, and I was
in danger of going for nothing, as all officials are gene-
rally absent from home on those days. I found that the
Procurator-General was from home, but after sending
for him in various directions I gained admittance to the
prison. The delay, however, was the cause of my being
longer with the prisoners, as it made me too late for the
afternoon train, and so I stayed for the evening one, and
spent considorabletime in conversation with them. Your
eon seemed better in health than he was before—though
he made no complaints to me—but he now looks stronger.
with more colour, and more cheerful. This, I suppose,
arises from their having been removed into a larger room
where they can take exercise, and have the company of
all their fellow-prisoners. Indeed, they all seemed quite
cheerful, and conversed freely with the officer who ac-
companied me, as well as with myself. Your son and
his companion, Parks, assured me that they acted by
my counsel, and constantly prayed to God to support
and relieve them, and read their bible every day; they
also returned 16 religious tracts I had lent them, and
dwired to have some more. So I really trust that their
affliction may, with God's grace, be turned to good ac-
count, and that they will for the future be more sincere
and earnest disciples of Christ than they have hitherto
been, and be abietosay with the Holy Psalmist, Blessed
is the man, 0 Lord, whom thou chastenest ; before I
was afflicted I went Wrong, but now I have kept
thy statutes.' I paid them a second visit the week
after I wrote last (Thursday, 26th ult.), and found
they had been moved two days to the larger
apartment. You perhaps have seen in the news-
papers a report that one of the prisoners had attempted
suicide. I heard this after I returned from my
ht
first
thou vis
to them ; and, therefore, on my second visit,
I g
it right to question them about it. Your son
ledconfess
thatue
d t. makeso,hehad
thean attemptd as, far
by a
asl could
melancholy
dchefeeling w as
ofdespondency, which led him to imagine that all was
against him. His companion told me it arose from mis-
understanding what was said about him by his com-
panions through his not understanding the Italian lan-
guage thoroughly. On the 26th of November I talked
very earnestly and seriously to him upon the subject,
and he assured me he would never attempt anything
of the kind again, and I have good reason to hope
he sees it in its true light, and will keep his promise.
I talked to him again about it yesterday, and he said
cheerfully that there was no danger of such a thing
again. He is evidently of a silent and nervous dis-
position. I suppose they did not like to confess this
sad thing, and so said nothing about it on my first
visit, Being permitted by the king of Naples to
visit them as a minister of religion, when nobody
else was allowed to see them, I did not cross-question
them about anything, as it would have been dishonour•
able to act in any way as a spy. I merely desired them
to tell ma anything they wished voluntarily ; and their
statements I gave you the general summary of iu my
last letter. Besides, my object was chiefly religions, to
lead them to take their affliction patiently, and to bear
up courageously, in dependence upon God's help and
protection ; whereas, if I had spent my visits in qua&
tinning them about grievances, they would have fancied
themselves, perhaps, worse treated than they have been,
and been irritated and more cast down in spirit, instead
of being calmed or cheered. I therefore, I repeat, only
heard and have written to you what they told m®
of
their own accord. Yesterday .your son said he was
very much comforted by your letter and those of
his friends, which I let him read for himself. He
begged me earnestly to write directly, and
