NAPLES, THE CITY OF BEGGARS. By (From Italy mulm' Victor Emmanuel. Count Chas. Arrihamtc ) TiiE news immediately spreads that a ‘ Milordo lnglesc ’ has disembark- cd; that he gives aims; and that lie lodges at the Crocclle or at the Vittoria. In the innocence of his Soul, the newly-arrived traveller is ignorant of all this. He has been told so often to see Naples and then die, that, as soon as he has reached the hotel, and plunged his face and hands into fresh water, he opens his window to look at the beautiful which is before himâ€"the Gulf. Capri, Posillippo, Vesuvius.â€" He sees all this, and a cry of udmi~ ration escapes him. But at the same moment, in all the notes of the scale, in all kinds of intonation. he hears, ‘Excellencyâ€"General- Highness! we are dying of hunger â€"we are dying of hunger !’ He .looks down, attracted by the noise, and sees no longerihc five or six beggars to whom he has given some trifle in coming to the hotel; but a band of beggarsâ€"a troop of tbcggarsâ€"a very army of beggarsâ€"- who are all endeavoring to exhibit their misfortunes. The heart of the traveller is touched: he throws to the miserable creatures all the change he has, and shuts the win- dow. Thenceforth he is condemned to look at the port, at Capri, l’osd- lippo, and Vesuvius, through his window-panes; he dares not open the window again. He rings the bell, and asks the waiter what. he can do to get rid of this eighth plagueâ€"a plague unknown to Pha- roah. ‘You have probably given them some money,’ says the waiter, philosophically. 'Certaiiily,’ re- plies the traveller. ‘Tlien, excel- l l l lcncy, there is no rcmedy,’ rcjo‘us the water, in the tone of a man who has made up his mind to an- other martyrdom. An- idea sug- gests itself to the traveller. ‘Order a carriage; I am going out, only 1 wish to get into it in the courtâ€" yard, and not at the door.’ The waiter bows, and leaves the room without replying. Ten minutes af- terwards, he comes up again, saying. ‘ The carriage is ready, cxcellency.’ His excellency goes down; the beggars, lioweVCr, have made an ii'ruption into the court-yard, and he is obliged to pass through the midst of them, and to push them forcibly aSidc ere he can reach his carriage. Hardly is be seated before [16 shouts with all the strength of his lungsâ€"‘ Quick, coachman, quick 1" The coachinan ,licsitates; some of the beggars uretoo close to the horses; some are before the pole, some before the wheels. At last, however, he starts. His e‘xcellency hears cries, groans, lamentations; no one has been touched, but every yone appears to have been frightfully iliurt. As long as the carriage rolls Jalong a plain or descends a hill, there is rest; the beggars know waiting for him.

Should his excel- lency stop before a cagfe to take an ice, or at a shop to buy some trifle, he probably gets out of the vehicle quietly enough; but, in returning to his carriage, he finds it literally stuck fast, hemmed in by women, old men, and childrcn~like a ship in the ice in the midst of the Polar Seas. He imagines that, on leav- ing Naples, he will escape this an- noyance Half distracted, he cries, ‘ To I’ozzuli l’ Alas ! mcndicity outside the city is even better or- ganized than within.

At the end of a fortnight, the traveller’s patience is exhausted, and he is almost tempted [to say, “It is not ‘sce Naples and ldie,’ but rather die than again see ‘Naplcs.’ should not stand him in like good stead now. In this frame of mind he withdrew to his domain, the kit- chenâ€"the waiter, a Frenchman, going with him to point out thc cup» boards and other dependencies. Presently, a smart liouscmaid came in with a brace of Wild ducks to be roasted for dinner; but not content with delivering the birds, she lin-. gored about in the kitchen, much to my friend’s annoyance; for though his assured self-confidence was such that he would have undertaken the reasting of a rattlesnake, if necesâ€" sary, still he knew very well that his manner of procedure with the defunct duck would not bear the test of prying eyes. At last, she took herselfot‘f; and then, as a prepara- tory step, he began to chop up the stuffing; but he had hardly begun when the housemaid, under some pretext or other, returned again; and no sooner had she gone than the French waiter came in with a mes- sage, and, instead of departing with the answer, remained, evidently to watch. The new cook naturally felt indignant that the sacred mys- teries of the kitchen should be thus Open to vulgar eyes, so he told the Frenchman that as the kitchen was small, he wanted all the room to himself, but the fellow evinced no intention of going. The prelimin- ary operation of preparing the stuf- fing would not last for ever, and the waiter was evidently remaining to see the next move. Had the ducks required plucking, the evil moment might have been put off a little, as the waiter could have had no reasonable pretext for idling in lthe kitchen any longer; but there was nothing left to be done but pre- pare the birds at once for the spit, and cokec felt convinced that the (From Kangarm’ Land: by "w Rm Art/H" waiter was sufficiently versed in Polehamptmr. ) ' . cookery to see at once, from his i, "new a manâ€"‘3 genlleman by manner of handling the birds, whe- b'flh‘ at Geelong. 1“ a like Pl‘edlca- thcr he understood the minutiae of men} abou‘ this time. who was so his business; and no sooner had be hard pushed for something to do,[bcgun upon the birds themselves that he went into a labour-office, than the waiter interfered. What where the proprietor read out a list cook could stand this? A chef, 01 “Gimmes. hm Wine Seemed SUit- who trusted to the inspiration which ' O 1" y ‘ ' I able.

The wagesâ€"£3 a week, board) and lodgingâ€"were not bad. After a few minutes’ conSIderation, my friend agrees to give the plaCe a trial. He confessed that he had certainly had a few misgivmgs with regard to his fitness for the place, as he wcndcd his way towards the inn; so . much so, that at times he had almost made up his mind to turn back, especially when he found that the inn was a much more im- portantâ€"looking affair than he had been led to suppose,_and situated in a rather central posniOn ; but as he had gone too far in the matter to re- treat with honour, he endeavoured to delude himself into the idea that, after all, cooking inspirations might W_.__/W_._â€"â€"aâ€"â€"___.

No sooner was the man turned out than the inspiration left my friend, and he regaidcd his position as any other ordinary mortal with average com- mon sense would have done under like circumstances. It was useless to make any further attempts,- for the Frenchman was evidently a spy,- and was even then probably employed in effectually undermining the character of the new Cook ; so the latter, taking everything into consideration, resolved to beat a speedy retreat. Dcvoutly hoping that he might not stumble upon the landlady, he sought the landlord at once in the bar, and told him lionâ€" cstly how matters stood.

Suddenly Lord March awoke, and,- recognis- ing his chief, faintly expressed a hope that he had been successful on the previous day. ‘1’ve given them a good licking,’ the great rrlan' replied, ‘andI shall follow it up.’ The exhausted youth then turned to doze again; and as the Duke quitted the room, tears slowly trickled down his check, at the thought that he had taken a last farewell of the son of one of his dearest and oldest friendsâ€"Mc- moirs of the Duke of Richmond.
