"A letter from Naples, Italy, dated September4,
IN the boston Transcript gives an account OF an act
of heroism performed by Mr.. Gustavus F. Hall, of
Boston, at fire in that city. The letter states
that large house was in flames, when, to the sur
prise and horror of all, several persons at
the window of the third floor. ssThe spectators
seemed parayzed, and no one dared venture to res
cue them, when Mr.. Hall threw off his coat and hat
into the hands of soldier, and darted up the stairs
Finding that access by the door of the apartment
was impossible, he dashed out of the window upon
balcony which led near the room, but did not reach
the window within several feet. So striding the
railing and bracing himself the best way he could
he called to the lady nearest him to throw herself
into his arms, which she did, 1t was well for Hall
that he is remarkably powerful man, or he and
his burden must have fallen into the street After
carrying her down, he returned for the two chill
dren, and then going up once more he brought
down the nurse. The braves of the admiring but
not courageous crowd, when they saw the whole
family rescued, were long and loud. Prince
Luigi, brother of the late King, who was there
and witnessed the bravery of Mr.. Hall, expressed
in voice above all others his delight and appro-

he autographs of Milton and his wife were sold to

These two receipts are now at the Messrs. PEN
lngton's, and are apparently authentic But a
correspondent OF an English journal threw discredit
IN them, since the sale, and the London Aheneum,
u September Il, has the following corroborating
he doubt:
"The recent sale of an autograph recent, by
'onn Milton, for TO, on account of paradise Lost
las raised question as to the genuineness of the
hilton autographs. There are two sets of auto
.raph receipts in existence-one set in the poses
ion OF Lady Cullum: a receipt for f5, signed with
ne name OF Milton, April &c, 1861 receipt for
IS, signed by his widow, December Il, 1850; final
discharge, drawn up in legal form, signed by the
widow, April 70, 1851. second set is that which
occurred the other day in the sale of Mr.. Dawson
urner collection, consisting of a receipt for f5,
lgned by the name of Milton, April &C. 1869,
nd a receipt for f8, signed by his widow, Deem
er Il, 1850. So far as they go, these two sets of
documents coincide in date, and we NAV add. in
wording. Both cannot be originals If Lady
;uliums autographs are genuine, Mr.. Dawson
urner's were copies. How came the two sets into
xlstencef We are able to state fact, which,
aKen In connection with the discovery of a pre-
ended receipt by Milton among the Dawson
lurner manuscripts, almost involves of necessity
mother fact. Many years ago the Milton manu-
cllpts were lent by Sir Thomas Cullum to Mr..
urner, who kept them for some time in his hands,
nd, ultimately, restored them to their owner. It
} impossible to doubt that Mr.. Dawson Turner
estored the originals which he had borrowed 1t
all but impossible to doubt that he took adyan-
age OF their temporary possession to make copies
'r ms private satisfaction-and, of course with
iaea that these copies would ever be mistaken
u the originals. Were not these copies disposed
the other day by Messrs. Puttick & Simpson ?'
The Atteneum, it will be seen, makes an error of
x years in the date of the second receipt-putting
oSo Tor 1856, and speaks of final discharge,
ated April 20, 1851.
