NAPLES, May 3l-For the last two days
Naples has been in a State Of unusual contu-
sion. Thousands of people have come in
from the country to see the great show, u
King living in state. Around the palace the
streets have been almost impossible, notwith-
standing the efforts OF the cavalry, who rode
up and down, to maintain order; hut in the
midst of all this crowding and disorder, the
predominant feeling rs far as | could lind
from externals, was curiosity and nothing
more. | have not heard one word OF COM
passion, or regret, or affection, escape from a
single person, though must i'll truth observe
that there were many who were attached IL
the man, not the King, Ferdinand The
body or what is exhibited AS the body Of the
late Sovereign, was brought into Naples at
midnight on Saturday, surrounded bya mum
Der of the body guard.
During the whole of Sunday the palace
gates were open at intervals to admit the vast
crowds who were waiting outside. In the
room of the Vicerny, on Il lofty catatalque,
surmounted by canopy Of state, now lie the
mortal remains Of ferdinand. The whole
| ceremonial has been conducted with the
strictest rigor of Spanish etiquette, with the
exception of the attendants asking the lie,
less body questions, as OF n living man, and
requiring to know what were his Majesty 3

The Occupancy of Milan.

Twice within the last seventy years, the
French have seized the capital OF Lombardy:
first ON the 18th May, 1896, and five days
after the terrible passage Of the bridge OF
Lodi when the army of the Republic. to

Italy.

NIT of the Apprentices aud overwhelmed and
dispersed everything which opposed their
progress.
On that occasion Napoleon made u trium-
plant entry amid the acc lamation OF the c'-
tizens, who hailed him rs the Regeneration OF
Italy. To the Italians, writes an eminent
historian describing this scene. Napoleon APP
peared "as the hero who was to achieve their
liberation from Transalpine oppression and
bring back the glorious days of Roman virtue.
Even the coolest heads began to turn at the
brilliant career thus begun by II General not
yet six and twenty years Of age. and tho
boundless unticipations of future triumph OF
which he spoke with prophetic certainty
From every part of Italy the young and ar
dent tiocked to Milan balls and festivities
gave token of the universal joy; every word
and look Of the conqueror was watched; the
PATRIOTS compared nun =" ''iPio anu iiahhi'
bal, and the ladies on the popular side knew
no hounds to their adulation."
Four years afterwards, says the Journal
of Commerce, and during the celebrated
campaign of Marengo this scene was nearly
repeated Murat had effected q passage OF
the Ticino at Buffalora. which is only few
miles from Magenta, on the great road from
Turin to Milan, the Austrians retired with
out any serious opposition, and Napoleon
made his second triumphant entry into Mi
Ian, where he was received with transports
Of JOY by the populace and the Democratic
party. This event took place on the I'd Of
June, 1900, just before the great battles of
MontebelIo on the 9Th, and Marengo on the
Nth of June, and exactly tifty-nine years
and two days before the engagement at
Magenta.

MANY such citizens are under the impress
sion that the Emperor Alexander II. of Rus

Russian Minister, Baron Brunnow, has in

ALEXANDRIA,:
THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 90. 1859.

The subject Of a Railroad from Warren,
ton to Fredericksburg, has again been start
ed. A series of articles written by citizen
of Fauquier in favor Of that scheme, in
1854, have been published in pamphlet
form, and extensively circulated. Mr.. Ed
win Robinson, the President of the Rich
mond, fredericksburg, and Potomac Rail
road Company. has, also, published letter
in the Fredericksburg News, advocating the
measure. He says
"The construction of the % miles betw cen
the Warrenton Junction and the road of this
Company, cannot exceed in it's cost the sum
of $500, 900, and here the outlay is at an
end The motive power and official manage
ment is already secure at the hands Of the
Richmond, fredericksburg L. Potomac Com
pany, on easy terms, DC"
He further adds that, in his opinion, "the
income from the business over this branch
would not be less than 100000 per annum,
whilst the expenses attendant ON the work
ing of the road will not exceed the sum Of
$4,000 per snnum." And he concludes his
letter as follows:-
IF two-ffths of the necessary amount can
be raised in the country between Freder-
icksburg and Warrenton by subscription TO
the stock authorized to he raised for the pur-
pose, have little or no doubt, even if
State subscription cannot be obtained, that
the large stockholders of the Richm ond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Company. will
furnish such remaining subscription as may
be requisite. This they will certainly do.
in the event that the Court of Appeals shall
sustain in January next. when the case will
be adjudicated, the claim of this Company
for an infraction of its charter by the Nir-
ginia Central Railroad Company. On this
head have an assurance, and | know that
but for the failure of the proper tribunals
thus far TO terminate the matter satisfactory
" to the stockholders of this Company, an
extension of the Road of the Company to the
Valley of Virginia, would long since have
been contaminated"
The attention of our own citizens, and
others interested in existing Railroads, will,
doubtless, be drawn to this matter-and,
for the present, the statement above given,
will suffice for that object.
