Atrocitics I'm Italy.

The pamphlet of Mr.. Gladstone, member of
the British Parliament, exposing the atrocities
committed by the Neapolitan government in
punishment Of alleged political offences, pre-
sents picture at which humanity shudders. Not
less than twenty thousand persons, it appears,
are immurcd in prison, where they suffer the
last extremities of physical and mental anguish
A large proportion of these victims to despotic
rage have been condemned in violation of every
form Of law; many are entirely innocent; while
the worst have been guilty only Of striving to
obtain the enjoyment Of liberty, that blessing
which is here free rs the air we breathe, and
which, on that account alas we scarcely value
as we should. The eprisoners, according to Mr.
Gladstone are chained two and two, and these
chains are never undone, day or night. The
filth of the cells, in which the sufferers are con-
fined, is intolerable. Disease, as consequence,
RACES with terrible fatality but death, instead
of being dreaded, is welcomed by the miserable
victims for any thing, even the grave aud the
worm, is better, they declare with dying BREATH
than the horrors Of their prison vaults. Many
Of the prisoners have been wealthy and accus
toned to every luxury Of life, so that the pangs
of their present condition are thus infinitely exI
aggerated In fact, the worst cruelties of the
worst ages would seem to have been initiated by
this royal beast Of Naples.
In Rome, where christian charity should pre-
vail, if anywhere, cruelties almost rs inhuman
prevail. late article in La Presse, translated
for the New York Tribune, exposes, with terri
BILE severity, the horrors of political imprison-
ment In the religious capital of the world. The
oncermeek Plus TX, whose first act when he
summoned the tiara was to proclaim liberty
to the captive" and "open the prison doors
for them that were bound, = has, since his re.
turn from Gaeta, placed himself in the hands

GETTING WEDDING CoAT--Among the an
ecdotes detailed by DIR. Bushnell in his sermon
Mt Litchheld, illustrative Of the Age of Home
spun, was one which deserves to be told by it
self, and better than we can repeat it. One of
the aged divines Of that county, still living was
married during the Revolution, but under sin
gular difficulties. There was an obstacle TO the
wedding that seemed insurmountable. He had
no wedding coat nor was wool to be had to
make one; and it was in the dead of winter.
Yet all parties were ready, and he was anxious
to be married without delay. At last the mother
of the intended bride discovered the difficulty,
and promptly had some of her sheep shorn and
seged up IN blankets to keep them warm, while
of the wool she spun and wove q coat for her
reverend son.in-law. H #
