The correspondent of the London Times at Rome,
in detailing the at the various Easter fes-
tivais, relates the following incident which occur
red at the grand annual display of fireworks on
the evening OF the I'd instant.
The only extraordinary incident of the evening
was one in which the United States Minister Mr.
Stockton, played the most important part. With
out the least fault his part that gentleman came
in collision with papal dragOons who got by no
means the best of it. Mr.. Stockton, it appeared
drove down the Corso from his residence in that
street to the Plaza del Popoo, where a stand had
been erected Tor the accommodation of the Neapo-
Titan royal family, the diplomatic corps and other
persons OF distinction. On reaching the entrance
to the plaza he was now informed that he could not
pass that way.
He presented the ticket with which foreign min
listers are furnished to secure them free passages on
all occasions, but it did not produce the desired
eHect, and he was requested to go round BY the
Ba6uino street. This he did, but with no better
result. Again his coachman checked, and
told he could not pass that way. | am not sure
whether he did not try the only remaining avenue
10 the plaza, the Via Repetta. But at last his pa
thence was not unnaturally exhausted, and he in
sisted on his right to pass, and dered his servants
to drive on. ThereupOn there was much excite

duty, and three Poutitical dragons pranced about

down upon it, brandishing naked swords and dis
playing, as the Portuguese say, ferocious faces tC
the enemy.

the recurrence Of such misbehavior on the part o
