Hambeidps Private Opinion Of Distin-
guished PersonaGes-The Pnrentnge OF
houis Napoleon aud Count Iorney Deter
mined, -- Il ..Ni- .i' -A ''
Humboldt, in his private correspondence,
does not disguise his opinions of the crowned
heads Of Europe, and, among others, of Louis
Napoleon. On the 2Dth of January, 1852,
Varnhagen's journal reads as follows: Hum
boldt came ut one o'clock, wonderfully robust
for his time of lifel Speaks with indignant
scorn of the coup d'etdt in France, the undis-
guised outrage the arbitrary banishments,
and particularly the robbery Of the estates of
the Orleans family. The King was at first
full Of rejoicing--he and the Court saw moth
ing offensive in the crime committed against
the people, the legislature, the law, and the
sanctity of oaths-but that the adventurer
preserves universal suffrage, rests upon the
people, practices socialism, and even wants TO
be Emperor; this is what makes him detested.
Humboldt is of opinion that in the revolu-
tion of February the establishment of the
provisional government, which was imme-
diately obeyed throughout France, was a
piece of even greater audacity than the pres
ent usurpation of the one man who has al
ready been President and worn the name of
government for three years. reminded him
of the parliament, and the committee of fifty
at Frankfort-on-the-M In the disposi-
tion to acquiesce he sees that national feel
ing of unity and cohesion, which, among
Frenchmen, suppresses all party feeling.
Humboldt says there is no doubt that Louis
BOnaparte is O son of Admiral Verhuel, and
his brother, Morney, son Of General Fla
hault, who, he says, lived with both the sis
ters, the Queen of Holland and the Queen OF
Naples. OF Persigny-Fialin de Persigny-
he speaks with the utmost contempt, calling
him o raw, unkempt, non-commissioned off
cer who still arrogates to himself discoveries
about the pyramids.

He had circulated vile SANDER on the lady,

Singular and Interesting Procession Mt
......r ... Naples. ........
A private letter, of late date, from Naples
says: ..-... ..,..l ..t-H -t..r
A most curious and interesting procession
has been seen here. For the first time, be-
lieve, since l84s the Court sailed forth in
state to visit the churches. The young Queen
was in full dress with large train Of black
velvet and dress covered with black lace,
and wearing on her head the Spanish man
tilla. She walked by the side of his Majesty,
preceded by the chief officers attached to the
Royal service, civilians and military, all in
full costume; a large display of the body
guard, and uniforms of every fashion; the
gay pages in their Spanish attire, and all the
ladies of the Court following, in close attend
ance, with their black velvet trains, in honor
of the day, but with colored ribbons or flow
ers in their hair, in order to mark the alb
sence of Court mourning. 1t really was q
gorgeous sight.
The cortege issued from the Palace on the
square, followed by certain number of old
fashioned sedan chairs, which were carried
in reserve for the Queen and Princesses in
case of fatigue. The whole procession, de-
scribing semi-circular curve, moved along
| one side of the square up to the Church of San
Ferdinando, where the people subsequently
had a sight of the decoration of the chic
altarpiece. 1t was a transparent painting 6
copy of Raphaels magnificent "Transfgura.
tion," very well lighted up from behind, and
producing fine effect.
There was, Of course, a large concourse o
people on the Place, but not half so many al
one might have expected on such an occasion
There was not one cheer, nor did the by
ISLANDERS take off their hats as the Royal cor
tege passed, with the exception of the occu
pants of some of the balconies. The Roya
pair looked sad enough; it might have beei
in honor of the day. but the news from Sicil,
that morning was surely of nature sutfi
GENTLY depressing.

The Withworth Gum

On Thursday, the 10th of February, on the
beach at Southport, Mr.. Whitworth, of Man
chester, conducted series of experiments to
ascertain the capabilities Of the famous gun
which he has invented. The guns expert
mented upon were three-pounder, six
FOUNDER, a twelye-pounder and an eighty
FOUNDER, throwing a shot weighing ninety
pounds. For some weeks Mr.. Whitworth
has been engaged in bringing to perfection
various details in the manufacture OF the gun;
| and, having concluded the preliminary trials, a
number Of scientific and military gentlemen
were assembled by special invitation to witness
| the result which established the fact that the
| Whitworth gun, is, if not superior to the in
| vention of Sir William Armstrong, at least its
! equal in destructive capability. SirJohn Bur-
goyne, the Inspector General of Fortltications
| and several members Of his personal staff, were
present. The three-pounder, at an elevation
Of thirty-fve degrees, threw shot $3.50 yards
and the six and twelve-pounders greatly eX.
| ceeded this distance. When the eighty poun.
der was fired, at an elevation of five degrees
it was observed that the shot first struck the
ground at more than 250O yards from the gun
a second struck at 262O yards, and richochet
ting struck again at 5000 yards. The accura
| cy of the gun was marvellous, and the expert
ments were pronounced t. be astonishing
Properly mounted, so as to receive fair eieya-
| ton, it is believed that the eighty-poundeI
will throw 9O-lb. projectile, using only II lbs
| of powder, from 5000 to 10000 yards, with
| fair degree Of accuracy.
/ The Whitworth gun is rifled of course, and
loads at the breach. 1t is described as being
in fact a tube rifled from end to end, the
breach being closed after loading by "a cap
| like the cap of telescope, which is screwed
on The cap is fitted with hoop and hinge
SO that after being unscrewedi it is not taken OF
but swings aside like door. The projectile,
which is metal bolt uncoated, but made by
| machinery SO as to fit the bore of the cannon,
is put in its place, the tin canister of powder
is pushed in after it, and the door is shut and
screwed up. The bore of the canister is
pierced to correspond with the touchhole,
which is in the centre of the cap, and after
firing the canister is removed, leaving the gun
clean The gun itself is cast solid and bored,
the larger ones being strengthened by wrought
iron hoops forced on by hydraulic pressure
