Much alarm was felt at Naples of an anticipated
French invasion, now that diplomatic relations be-

Mr.. Owen, United States consul, had arrived at
Naples. o..
A naturalized American, named Paperi, had
been kept in custody at Ancona by the Austrian
authorities on no charge except that of entertain
ing liberal sentiments. The American consul had
interposed, and, after numerous delays, Paperi
was finally liberated. He was, however, still kept
under surveillance, because he refused to sign a
declaration that he would never again visit Italy.
This seems to be demanding the prompt
action ofthe United States.

BALTIMORE ITEMS.
From the Patriot. I1th.


Bold Robbery gentleman, named Samuel
Young, who arrived in this city yesterday by the
Norfolk boat was accosted, upon landing, by two
young men, respectfully dressed, who proposed
walk TO the Washington monument. The unsus-
pecting stranger assented and on their way thither
an attempt was made 10 get him to bet upon the
'ball game" but he refused, when one Of the
rogues thrust his hand into Mr.. US coat pocket
and distracted his pocket-book, containing four
hundred dollars in bank notes, with which he i'm
mediately ran off, followed soon after by his ac-
complete, who prevented the victim from giving
the alarm.
Sherif's Deputies.-Mr. Hines, the sheriff
elect. has, il is said selected the following gentle
men 10 act as his deputies: Robert Wilson, Leo
nard r. Woollen, J. J. Daneker, VIM +. Wright,

Larcenies.-A man, by the name of Samuel S.
Benjamin. was arrested on State warrant at
quarter past one o'clock this morning, charged
with stealing a coat from the hall of Dr. Steven
SON dwelling in the western section OF the city.
Tobias Cook charged with being accomplish.
was also arrested, and both were admitted to bail
for their appearance at court by Justice Kemp.
Elizabeth Lloyd, charged with stealing sixty dol
lars, the property of Christopher Burke, of Harris
burg, Pa, was committed TO Jail by Justice Stump.
An Affray.-A man by the name Of VIM. Nor
gan, boiler maker by trade, while in state of in
toxcation, left pair of boots in the confectionery
and dram shop of Francis Valentine, on Light
Barre street, and on calling for them while
afterwards, they were delivered to him, and he
left the premises. After some considerable lapse
of time, however, he again called at Valentines
and demanded his boots.
On being told by VS. assistant that he had al
ready obtained them, he became very much ex-
cited, and gave the lie to the assistant, while the
latter resented itby knocking him down. Morgan
then drew knife, sprang upon the assistant with
great impetuosity, and succeeded in infictng
wound upon his thumb. AT this juncture Valsn-
tine caught up a billet of wood, and with it feed
Morgan to the floor. The latter lay insensble for
an hour or more but, so far as we can learn he
was not materially injured. Valentine was ar
rested, but discharged by Justice Rowe on the
ground Of intoxication.

Railway Discipline In England.-Mr. T.
was taken into custody on Wednesday, and
charged before the Rev. G. Atlay, at Barrowden,
with an offence against the railway act He was
fined Co. II appears that about fortnight ago he
went TO the village of Barrowden, intending 10 re-
turn by the train due at Stamford at 10 i. M.
On arriving at Luflenham, he found he was too
late for the train and he then proceeded to walk
towards home along the line. When he reached
Ketton, being exceedingly tired, he persuaded the
porter al that station to get out truck in which
he proposed to ride home, thinking that, as the
line from that station TO Stamford is on descent
he would be able TO get over the three miles with
out propulsion.
Having been pushed toward short distance,
the truck kept in motion till it arrived at the
bridge approaching Easton-wood, where il stopped,
and being partially laden with beans, Mr.. Liddel
could not again move il. He went TO the Easton
gate-house for assistance, and the gatekeepcr and
his wife helped him TO get il on after much labor,
10 Stamford. BY some means the foolish transact
ton reached the ears of the directors, and Mr..
Liddell had 10 attend before the board at Derby on
Tuesday. He returned TO Stamford that evening,
believing that he had got over the difficulty but
the next morning an officer arrived and took HIM
into custody. Had luggage or any other train
come in contact with the truck so recklessly put
upon the line, the consequences might have been
fearful. Hence the directors have thought II
necessary TO make an example of one of their
responsible servants. Mr.. Liddcll is dismissed
from his duties as station master.
