The ATROCITIES OF THE KING OF Naples
In consequence of Mr.. Gladstone's expose of the
cruelties of King Bomba, the Neapoitan state
prisoners have been treated with more inhuman-
ity than ever. We learn by q recent letter from
Florence, that the government, exasperated in
the highest degree by the revelation Of its out.
RACES, is unrelentingly prosecuting its crusade
against civilization and humanity though there
is reason to believe that one of the kings adj
visers earnestly admonished him of the danger
Of creating such feeling abroad as might ex-
cite and support another insurrection at home
1t seems that the poor prisoners doomed to
incarceration have been treated with fresh cru
city, in consequence of the gratuitous suspicion
that they or their friends had some agency in
communicating facts to Mr. Gladstone during
his visit to Naples. The young Count Poerio,
formerly Minister of Public Instruction and
Member of Parliament under this very king, in
1881 whose unjust condemnation is feelingly
referred to by Mr.. g., has been loaded with
new chains, and incarcerated in a dungeon at
Isohia, twenty-four feet under the level of the
sea! Observation-Disclosures heroic speech on his
trial, together with his touching letter to his
wife, have been published in this country-is
uow grooming in tomb" on a solitary rock
of the sea, called Santo Stephano, (St. Ste
phen y
Fifteen more worthy men have been lately
arrested on suspicion Of entertaining still some
hope of the revival of the stitution and their
fate hangs in suspense. But why (says n letter
now before us) multiply cases, where the only
end of the dreary recital is already but too
clearly established? The indictment and the
evidence against the government of Naples is
now before the world. We wait in hope and
confidence of its righteous verdict, having full
trust in the mighty power of public opinion.
