NApiEs AS A JoI1y PLACE adj

NAPLES AS A jolly PLAcE.-The edi.
tor Of the Baltimore American writes from
Naples Paris is regarded as a bright and
stirring city, and SO it is, in spots. Some
parts Of Paris are as full of life as Naples,
but Naples is in blaze all the time all
over 1t has no quiet spots. Everybody
seems to be excited and in feverish con-
dition. In its broad streets, as we'll as in
its narrow ones, men, women and chill
dren appear to be at fever heat, and the
whole population are on the streets all the
time. The carriages on the Corso and the
Toledo in the after noon never move along
leisureIy, but whips are cracking and drj
vers shouting as if they were engaged in
a race. As soon as we got relieved Of the
dust Of travel and obtained some refresh
meut, we were flying along among the
maze of carriages, private and pubic,
which poured down from the Toledo and
thronged the Corso. This latter thorough
fare has been extended, and winds around
up the sides Of the mountain upon which
old Naples is located, and the whole front
Of the city has been changed. extended and
beautified. Naples is different city to
what it was under old King Bomba, and
improved as much as Rome has since it
came under the dominion sof Victor EN-
manuel. 1t has now a population of
about five hundred thousand, and is the
largest city in Italy.
