Scenes at Naples.
The Naples correspondent of the London
Times says of the recent balloting:
There were deputations and professions
enough in movement, and flags and bands
by the dozen. National Guards were filing
off as they voted, and hollow square was
formed by them round the piazza, and a very
respectable military appearance they made.
! shall give a description of the mode of
voting at this station, which will apply to
the others. The passage up the steps is
guarded by sentIies of the National Guard,
who refuse an entrance to all who are not
provided with the pass" given to every
voter. On getting inside the inclosure the
pass is taken and person asks, "Will you
vote 'Sf or NO? and the ticket corre-
spending to the answer is given by the per-
son standing by. -. r.
There are three large urns like Washing
tubs, only made of better wood and turned
out in somewhat better STYLE which stand in
a line in an elevated spot, so that all the
crowd can see them; the center one is closed
with narrow lid for the admission of the
tickets, while on the right are the ISIS, and
on the left the "Noes." The supposition is
in practice the officer holds in readiness a
number Of tickets of each kind, and shouts
out Isl or No, which will you have?" "Sf
or mo" shouts the President from time to
time; there there is liberty of voting let
every man do as he choses," and the work
goes on merrily enough. Every one takes a
IS" and some come up in body and cry
out ViUa PittOrio ERlmdHueLeF' with all
their might, and deposit their tickets, and
rap the voting box with their knuckles
There are all the renegades of the palace
and of Santa Lucia present, and priests not
a few, some monks as well, and blind, and
iDhIm, and aged persons, who all seemed
anxious TO compensate for their infirmities,
and close long existence by voting for the
Re gdLdntuomo." 81, 81, si,n was uttered
with impatience by many, who, though
probably they did not understand the polit-
ical question, were fully sensible that the
change was TO bring them relief from mis-
cry, and persecution and poverty. / next
go off to the voting place Of NJ. Calvario,
the most liberal district Of the city. But it
is difficult 10 get up there, so vast q crowd
fills the streets, and so many are the various
objects of interest which call the attention.
All the oOloTs of the rainbow were there:
the red jackets of the Garibaldini, the crim-
son and gold of the British Legion, and red
and purple of the Hungarians; the white
and the black, and the gray dresses of the
civilians; and, if half-a-dozen raiuboWs could
be found, all with some unknown and diff
feTent cOlors, all would have been repre-
sented by the Neapolitan ladies, who are
often, each of them, rainbow in herself
There were carriages full of people bearing
flags, and uttering the usual shouts, anC
professions Of the populace and of the Ma.
tional Guards, preceded by bands; and every
now and then, as they paused in their gyra
tions, called out, viva GaribaldiP r.
A HALF-FAMsHED SERVANT IN PARI
STEALING A GoosE.- GaIigHaRi relates thi
story;
A boy named Chappal, fourteen years o
age, in the service ofa woman named Gravel
a Loulterer, was on Monday tried by tn
Tribunal of Correctional Police, on tn
charge of stealing goose, her property. Z"
do not deny" said he, "that took the goose
but it was because my mistress did not Civ
me enough to eat Is it true that yol
did not allow him sufficient food?" aske,
the President. "He always had the sam
as / had, sir" 'The same as youl-yes,
said the boy 'but if you live on almost moth
ing can not do so and | was starving! !!
And 1t was to eat the goose that you stol
il? Pray where did you get it cooked2'
"Dnring my mothers absence ! lighted |

This answer created some surprise and lout
laughter. The boys mother, after com
planning that Nine. Gravel had not allowe'
her son enough to eat, offered 70 pay for th
goofe, and prayed that the boy might be dis
