EVENING STAR. Brtoaxp Rospery oF Amenicax Taaver- fourth ans iv Iray.—A correspondent of the Lon- 1 Cy thirty sea MO on News, writing from Naples, August 8, 2 following incident was ly made the subject of # despatoh by Mr. Owen, the American Minister at Naples, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs: Three American ladies— Mrs. Kyle and her two daughters—accompa- nied by a guide, not iene sinee, paid a visit to the height of Camaldoli. As being ladies, they were, of course compelled to wait outside the monastery, and whilst wandering about that delightful spot, four hw -looking rob- bers, in the shapes of Neapolitan soldiers, darted out upon them. Oze seized the bridle of Mrs. Kile s donkey, whilst another drew did nut give up her parse, adding thot he and id mot up her purse, a his dcuapenieas weieial ing with hunger and must eat. The guide interposed, but this on- ly called down fresh oaths, and the fresh ex Pression of a determination to have their money or their lives. The en teen tae the ladies had only two abo which they consented to take, and the soldier Teluctantly put up hissword. How the mat- ter has termin: Ido not know. It seems that the men had deserted, and that they had Jain concealed for three days. A Rewarkasce Caampermaip.—A notice of @ recent steamboat explosion ends as follows : “The captain swam ashore.
