"To describe these poems honestly" saws the
London Morning Chronicle, sis to declare that they
care the best things of their kind that have come
"betore the public for many day. Some of them
care exquisite in the extreme" More cannot well
be said, nor less justly of this first published collec-
ton OF young Bulwers poems. The man who has
written them can hardly fail to write more and, if
possible, better. The book is most beautifully got

THIS SHEET is the first fruit of enterprise long
and greatly needed in the city of Baltimore, to
make fair presentment of her claims as one of the
grand commercial centres of the United States
Standing within the limits of the South, and near
est to the West of all the great Atlantic cities,
Baltimore has relied more on the natural strength
of her position, than the energy which is neces-
sary to make that strength available. None of the
essentials of success are wanting. She is up with
the age in every important particular. Her capt.
tai is yast-her merchants are full of integrity
and mot slothfu in business her manufacturing
resources are not only immense, but developed to
an extent hardly credited, by her own citi-
zens. Content apparently with the consciousness
of possessing all these elements of power and
wealth, she has not felt it necessary to resort
to those means of making her advantages
known, which less favored communities have
been compelled to use-and which thew
have used with adroitness and pertnacity
which have largely contributed not only to COM
pensate the deficiencies of their position but &C tu

has arisen from defective modes of advertisement
the enterprise of which the present number is the
Inauguration, is intended in some degree to apply
the corrective. We herein offer what we think the
most appropriate evidence of the extent and vital
ity of the business of Baltimore picture painted
by her own business men in their own way. 1t is
by no means complete picture Many interests of
large proportions, have not yet perceived the
advantages which we hope will be found by those
who have so literally, at the very outset made use
ofthe agency ofour MONTHLY ADVERTISER These in
time will be better advised-and each succeeding
MONTHLY SUPPLEMENT of the EXCHANGE will
doubtless present attractions and addi-
tional inducements to those upon whom, by
close neighborhood and juxtapostion and com
mon social and political interest, may with the
greatest proprety urge our claims to more extend
ed commerce and more intimate relations of bust
ness and friendship. AS Southern City, Baltimore
has some reason to expect favor from the South
She makes no parade OF her loyalty to Southern
rights, because her sentiments and instincts are
Southern and such parade would be unnatural,
Nor does she derive from the fact of her Southern
position any claim to Southern support, not based
upon her capacity to supply every demand that
may be made upon her, on terms at least as favora-
BILE as those of any other market Other things
being equal, it is certainly more pleasant to be
in the house of those who are friends
by community of interest, than that of friends,
only for the hope of gain. This is the
extent OF her appeal to Southern sympathy The
Press do much, and it is the duty of those who
ask the support of an advertising community, to
see that the money they receive, is not money
thrown away. We recognise this obligation in its
fullest extent, and shall not shrink from the re-
sponsibility it imposes. But the Press cannot do
everything. '1ou may lead horse to water but
you cannot make him drink" The advertisement
may attract customer, whom the advertiser may

therefore becomes all the business interests of this
community to move forward the same plane,
taking care that it be of truth, honor and JUS
tice An advertisement without merit, is not only
dishonesty but folly, sure to react in disgust and
disgrace-merit without advertisement is eight

THE KING OF NAPLES ON HIS DEATH-BED
A Paris letter says: One cannot help being struck
with the poetical justice in act of administration in
the case OF Poerio and his companions, now, after
long years OF suffering, Just beginning to draw
free breath; while, at the very moment, the King
of Naples is seized with horrible malady, which
now threatens to end his life, if indeed, he be
not already dead.
The King has been for three months covered with
assesses, which cause him the horrible suffer-
ing Never, says one of his doctors, did victim
of the inquistion suffer such fearful torture Re-
duced by the violence of constant fever, and
forced by exhaustion to stimulating regimen the
remedy feeds the disease. The august invalid is
shut up in his palace at Caserta, and sees no one
but the Queen, his doctor and his servants. When,
from time to time, surgical operation lessons the
severity of his sutferings, and he receives, during
the short interval either his brothers or some dig
nitary of the court the church. the official papers
announce the convalescence of his Majesty and the
prospects of speedy restoration. The usual coun-
Gil OF ministers then takes place. presided over bv
the hereditary prince or by the eldest son of the
Queen After the session. the ministers are intro
duced INTO the apartment of the King, and, achom
seeing him, kiss the hand which he extends from the
closed curtains of his bed. The court newspaper
then announces that his Majesty presided at the
ministerial council.
All the affairs of Europe, and even what passes
in Naples is all carefully concealed from the King
1t is certainly true that large party is formed
against the legitimate heirs of the throne who do
all in their power to discredt him in the public
opinion, and accuse him at once of obstinacy
weakness and ferOcity; and these ntrigues confuse
and trouble public opinion, and are not without
their i'll effects on the dynasty. The hereditary
prince disconcerts, by strange contradictions the
serious minds W no seek to discover the truth He
leads very secluded life and is evidently kept at
distance, isolated from court and, above all from
the city. He is watched like a revolutionist. a
prisoner In Caserta, and even close confinement
His education has been ill directed his teaching
much neglected, not without intention or without
effort While yet infant he was placed exclu-
sively in the hands of the priests, and they have
spared no pains to teac h him nothing, and they
have succeeded in perfection. He is verv assidu-
GUS in the practices of devotion, his bed is COM
pletely covered with crucifixes rosaries and anu
lets, and he passes the greater part of the day
uttering pater-nosters and Ave Marias. Timid and
almost shy in the presence of strangers, he knows
no one and no one knows him.
He has, nevertheless, his party among the royal
lists and the very moderate liberals. These attri-
butte to him the most excellent intentions They
believe him to be kept down by the authority of
the King and the hatred of the Queen, and forced
like the ancient Roman, to play the part of brute
until he shall show himself Brutus. They assume
that his exaggerated devotion is but feint to dis
arm suspicion, and they cite various actions of
trmness and benevolence; and promise, in his
name, Immediately his accession to the throne
the constitution and general amnesty. But,
though this party has at its head of the high
est personages, it is doubtful if they are in the con-
dence of the Prince, and thus far it is by no means
proved that he is either led by or leads them The
only influence which the most serious minds can
found any hope is that of the Duchess of Calabra
his wife. 1t is notorious that from the first day of
her arrival at Naples this young princess entered
into direct opposition to the Queen. 1t has at pre-
| sent been only shown by small insubordinations
| which seem without Importance but which are in
strange contrast to the rigid stricness ofhe
extravagant luxury dress and passion for pleasure
taste Tor hunting and horses, and, since we must
tell all, the cigar makes its appearance in broad
daylight and in the open air. But the Young
| duchess has held out against reproof and remon-
STRANGE and proves thus that she can resist and
| will know how to command. She is very affable
! with certain persons who are now at the head of
the opposition, always the road to power Just be-
| fore new reign. The General Filangieri, for ex-
ample, who, in ls4S, depressed the instruction in
! Sicily and has now entered the ranks of the mode
rate opposition, is of her most favored friends
1t is, however, feared that she will not be favorable
| to the Italian movement. Her family, indeed, owes
| all its Importance to Austria. She, and she alone
animates little by her youth and vivacity, the
| palace of Caserta, which is more like hospital
! than the seat of court and has already the ap-
pearance of a tomb, closed to all visitors and hid
ing from all eyes its royal patient, crowded with
priests, who bring relics and miraculous objects
thus to restore the poor King, abandoned by the
physicians. The palace recalls forcibly the gloomy
scenes so strikingly painted by st. Simon of Yer
sailles, during the last days of Louis XIV
| In the midst of all these are the Muratist in
trigues. Prince Lucian Murat, of whom believe
you in America have no very pleasant recollectons,
has been raised by the success of Louis Napoleon
from poverty to affluence He has never renowned
the hope of regaining the throne of Naples.
Hitherto his low personal character and scandal
