"OUR OWN DEAR FILLM0RE'-WHERE AND WHAT
DOING.


Mr.. Fillmore after being "put through a course Of
sprouts Ito use the idom of his Buaonian home by the
Iesus and the Holy Fathers has gone to Naples to the
,vzsroni the macaroni and Vesuyius all in state Of
ERUPTION and has become enRmored Of Italy that with
grief be thinks of leaving or loses the hope oil returning
Dr. Foot writing froR Naples on the 18th February says;
GFew travellers are content With seeing Italy once Most
of them spend but few months in the county Out they
could devote year IT, the time would be snort ana
thousand things would necessarily be passed over huTreo
Nearly all therefore, wish TO come back Mr. Fillmore says
be would like but has expectation ~ dong So Ar
Jewett says he will, and VIII prlng ME- ssVqt VIA
him"
But ii is not with the religious movement Of Italy alone
that Mr. F. is enamored BE finds recreation and amuse-
ment there of another kind. The letter represents
him at the foot Of Vesuvius:
AT the hermitage before taking carriage stopped
for few moments with The good monks, looked the
register Of visitors and Pdrtook q 60is Of choice Laer
Christi"
On the same days excursion find him presiding nj
an arbitration 1t will be recoected that the British gov
eminent requested Mr. Van Buren, act ultimate afb
traitor certain compromises before the joint commission
between our citizens and those Of Great Britain and that
he declined The arbitration imposed on Mr. eX-Presiden
Fillmore perhaps less dgni6ed but appears to have
been more acceptable We copy Dr. Foots account Of it:
"The most amusing and characteristic fight have
occurred sw days ago at miserable little village near
the Cento Cameree on the shore Of Bsia. couple Of
women, followed by troop u children insisted dane
ing the Tarantela for our amusement II they had been
young and good looking we should perhaps have made
objection but they past forty fat and ugly b
we gave them few carliues and sent them of On our
turn from the ruins fierce wordy war was going on
in the street stout young damsel, with limbs
that in suppeness and agility would rival panther and
who looked she would dance the Tarautella with
perfect phrensy vehementy denouncing the antique
ladies OF the intercepted ballet J. threw in few words Of
encouragement which seemed 10 ageravate both parties
the more probably, because they did not understand
word he sid-un they could restrain themselves Ion
ger The fight that epsued beggars all description. Six
teen women, OF oil aqes ! believe were engaged The
world elsewhere hardly furnish such pefsopacatiou
Of ancient ates furies and bacchanas The fray too
srce TO last and il ended in hasty pnning up Of
garments whose rents revealed than artist would
approve and In undertone Of grumbng like the NUT
teriugs Of retreating storm"
Obi Tor caricstgrist to picture the grave and solemn
Fillmore among the azsaranj nsgatng with economic
csrlines the fight of the naked bacehantesl
IL IL the air Of Naples that does this We recolsct thst
Marals Epigrams speak Of The Roman DANES who went
thither Peneopes and returned Heensl And who does
not recollect the story of TIberiuS at Capr@aH
