Maccaroni- misunderstanding and Hospitah
tn at Palermo-H Nadine Sutton's Debut at the
Royal Theatre
J. G. BENNETT, ESQ =
After a terribly rough voyage, we arrived safe
ly at Naples Head winds and head aches almost
constantly, rough short seas, but by means short
ness OF sea stores-noise, ccnfusien and oaths IN
stead of appetites Not bottle OF champagne
was touched for the first fortnight. We arrived al
Gibraltar in time to hear the bombardment Of
Tanglcr by the Prince de Joinville's squadron. A.
Marseilies saw nothing 10 admire more than the
fine French beds we found there. There are no
beds like French beds, no dinner like good Eng
lish dinner, no chair to compare with an American
rocking chair, and as for blazing coal fire, what
can surpass il. From Marseilles travelled here
by steamboat along the Mediterranean, touching
at Leghorn, Genoa, Civita Vecchia. Naples is
densely populated, even to Inconvenience. Tht
Via Toledo, at Naples, presents one continued
throng Of persons and carriages from morning III
uight, equal 10 what is seen in Broadway on tn.
Fourth Of July; and, go into whatever street you
vii it is almost alike in this respect II is no easy
matter to refrain from getting in passion anc

instead OF them, fowls, like so many threads

And yet living is dearer here than in New York
which perhaps can hardly excite surprise when tn.

extremely high The climate here and at Palermo
(of which shall afterwards speak, } is much abOu'

less cold, but damper, as il rains every other day
during the three winter months incessantly. J

About three weeks ago returned from visit to
Palermo, which is about seventeen hours sail from
Naples. The same winter weather, the same bad
