Reforms in Naples.

One OF the most sweeping acts Of re-
form ever introduced into any State has
been promulgated in Southern Italy and
Sicily. II abolishes the concordais of
1918 and 1884, between the courts Of
Rome and Naples, and establishes at once
entire freedom OF woiship. The right Of
ecclesiastics 10 innict secular punishment,
or TO be exempted from the operation Of
State laws, is also taken away. All
causes regarding the right Of nomination
to ecclesiasral benefces ere placed un-
der civil jurisdiction. The council Ct
State has authority to decide as TO the re-
srectivc function Of the civil and eccIesi.
astical powers. Diocesan Commissions
are abolished. To these were entrusted
the administration of vacant ch urchcs and
bcnefcos also, the revenues Of bishops,
abbacies, &c. Part of the proceeds Of
such scquestrated property will be applied
TO the endowment Of the poorer clergy
and other acts Of charity.
Another decree lays the axe TO the
roots Of those monstrous outgrowths Of
ignorant superstition, the m0nastic insti.
lulionS. All such orders are to be recog-
nized no longer; likewise the chapters OF
collegiate churchesin places having pop
ulation less than twenty thousand. The
property hitherto held by these bodies
is TO be taken possession Of by the State

obligations, the annual sum Of forty thou
sand ducats is TO be set apart from the
revenues Of such places for educational
purposes, the remaining proceeds to lie
applied to similar obi cts Of usefulness
and charity. Sepera'e clauses provide
for taxing the revenues OF bishops and
alchbishops, when exceeding given
amount. The work OF brushing away the
monastic cob-w webs which had spread over
the best portions of Italy appears to be
done boldly and thoroughly by these dc.

A Passing Incident.

As man Of generous heart, from :le

and Two lads, the latter perhaps the ages
Of seven and nine years. Our attention

as possible, sediments Of comfort 10 the
hearts Of these suffering poor.
As our walk lay IN the direction Of the
market, we determined TO witness the con.

could refrain from her expressions Of graf,

The London Times on the Recognition
of the Southern Confederacy.

From an editorial in tho London Times,
of March 23L. We clip tho following:
Tho men who devised and directed the
great plot of Secession knew well that thoy
must appeal for recognition to tho world
without. On tho reception given to their
appeal it would depend whether their ports
would be trcQueptcd or deserted, whether
tho coercive measures of tho North would
be seconded or ignored, and whether, in
Short tho new Confedcracy could establish
itself successfully among independent ma
tions. Tho question they faucied they
could decide beforehand in their own favor.
They believed themselves Indispensable to
tho world. Thov conceived that tho manu-.
facuturos of Europe, and of this country,
especially, depended absolutely on the pro-
duets Of their soil. Thoy wero tho cotton
growers of the world, and, as the world
could not do without cotton, 1t could not do
without them.
There wos considerable warrant for this
presumption but what is tho turn which
events have actually taken' Instead Of

propositions which havo been made on this
point since tho beginning of the rupture
constitute one of tho most extraordinary
phopomena of tho present ago. There has
been positive scramble for tho place which
the Southern States of the Union were sup
posed to DO vacating.

One Of the Richmond papers recently
published Virginia's ultimatum to the nom
slaveholding States. The following are
among the main features;
THE TERRITORIES.
The territories Of the United States con-
stitute trust 10 be administered by The
eft Of the people Of the United States, and
any policy in respect 10 such territories
calculated to confer greater benefits On
the people Of one or more of the States
than on the people of the other States, is
contrary 10 equality and prejudicial TO the
rights Of some for whose equal benefit The
trust was created. If the equal admission
of slave labor and free labor into any ter
ritory excites unfriendiy conflict between
the systems, fair partition Of the terri
tories ought TO be protected within the
limits assigned TO it by the laws necessary
for its proper development.
FEDERAL FORTS AND ARsENALs.
The sites OF the federal forts, arsenals,
&c., within the limits of the States OF this
Union, were acquired by the federal gov
ernment, and jurisdiction over them ceded
by the States, as trusts. for the common
purposes Of the Union during its coniinu-
ance; and upon the separation Of the
States, such Jurisdiction reverls of right
to the States, respectively, by which tho
jurisdiction was ceded. Whilst a State
remains in the Union, the legitimate use
"f such forts, &C., is 10 protect the country
against foreign force, and to aid in sup
pressing domestic insurrection: To use, or
prepare them TO be used, 20 intimidate o
State, or cons;rain its free action, is per-
version Of the purposes for which they
were obtained thev were not intended 10
be used against the States IN whose limits
they are found IN the event Of civil war.
In time Of profound peace with foreign
nations, and when no symptoms of do
mesic insurrection appear-but whilst
irritating questions Of the deepest impor-
tsnce are pending between the States-io
accumulate within the limits OF a State in
terested in such questions an unusual
amount of troops and munitions Of wsr.
not required for any legitimate purpose,
is unwise, impoliIic and offensive.
NOT SECESSION, BUT uHIoN.
Deeply deploring the present distracted
condition Of the country, lamenting the
wrongs that have impelled some OF the
States TO dissolve the connection with the
federal government, but sensible OF the
blessings Of the Union, impressed with lis
importance to the peace, prosperity and
progress Of the people, we earnestly desire
that an adjustment be reached by which
the Union may be established in It's in-
tegrity. aud peace, prosperity and fra
ternai feelings be restored throughout the
land.

The Hungariars Ripe for Revolt

The Vienna correspondent OF the Lon =

9th: "All the private intelligence re-

Mr.. W. A Booth, tho coast pilot of the
revenue cutter Harriet Lane, reports tho
discovery of boiling fresh water spring at
sea, off tho coast of Florida. He says the
spring is situated twelve miles, north by
east, from ST. Augustine, Florida, and eight
miles OFF shore. II bulls up with great
force, and can be deserted at a distance Of
two miles. When first seen it has tho np.
pearance of a breaker, and is generally
avoided but there is no danger in the
vicinity as there aro five fathoms of water
between il and the shore. Ton fathoms Of
water arc found to tho soaward. but no
bottom can bo reached with the deep sea
lead aud thirty fathoms of line az the spring
itself. Tho water in the spring is fresh,
and is by no means unpslatablo. One pecu.
liarity about this phenomenon is, that when
the St. Johns river is high 1t bois up from
six to eight feet above tho level OF the sea,
and presents rathor forbidding appearance.

have hastily put about from, as they thought,
imminent danger, aud reported seoing u

Harriet Lane has passed through il several
times, and water has boon drawn from it by
