The Arrival OF Mrs. stowe nm Rome.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch
writing from Rome on the 2d of April, says:
=, The event Of the day is the arrival here of Mrs
Harriet Beecher Stowe. The contrast between
the circumstances of hef arrival in Rome and her
trlumphal reception at the Duchess of Suther-
land =, will bring smile to many Southern lin
Ii seems she had engaged, through a friend
apartments in the Via Maria de Flore The Pad,
roma was notified that she would arrive on GER
tain day. and due preparations were made to re-
Ceive her, but the steamer from Marseilles to
Civita Necchia, in which she had taken passage
broke wheel. and arrived at the latter place ex-
actly one day behind time. But her troubles had
only begun with this accident. Between Civita
Necchia and Rome her veturino broke its wheel
and instead IF 3 O'Clock in the evening, il was
near the next morning, before she and party en-
tered the eternal city on three wheels and fence
rail. Repairing in This plight to their quarters
they found all dark and silent, and by no amount
OF exertiOn at bell and knOcker could they succeed
In arOuslng their drOwsv host. The driver of
their veturino, instigat by his prev ,us msfor
tunes, declTred his contract fulfilled and insisted
on their quitting his vehicle instanter As an act
of humanity, he drove them to the vacant space i'm
front OF the Piazza de Spdgna, and having depOs-
tied their effects in the centre thereof, compelled
them to alight. Here they were discovered in the
gray dawn, by party OF Americans who chanced
to pass that way.
Mrs Stowe formed the centre Of the group She
was elevated several feet above the Surrounding
leather trunk, with dilapidated bandbox under
her head, having her feet wrapped i'm gentle
mans snuff colOfed cloak. Her attitude and posi-
ton Were striking, and perhaps the best possible
for catching the first glimpse of the comet or
making astronomical observations. Her sister
Mrs. Perkins, repOscd beside and below her
Two gentlemen, with crooked hic ckory sticks,
guarded the Divinitics against the attacks of the
Lazzaroni. One of the discoverers mischievous-
ly encouraged the ours, whilst another addressed
the beggaTs He assured them they might look
upon the arrival of the distinguished individual
on the trunk as god-send, the Signorina being
famed for generosity to every petitioner of every
color This information had the instant effect of
increasing tenfold the number and importantly of
the beggdrs, and consequently the noise and ex-
citement of the dogs. My informant, however, is
not able to say whether the Lazzaroni were
riched by their applications.
