Original Narrative: With a full view of the beautiful bay of Gaeta, and the Mediterranean expanding its glaucous waters on our right, we came in sight of Naples, which is situated, as few other cities are, on tlie declivity of a range of hills whose shores are washed by the sea. These shores encircle a bay some sixteen miles in length, and as many in breadth. Nothing can be nobler than the aspect of the roadstead, which, being dotted with ships and smaller craft of all kinds, for a hundred miles, has a most brilliant and attractive air. Opposite the harbour is the island of Capri, so famous for the orgies of Tiberius, in which the ruins of his sybarite palaces are still found. On the right is the coast of Possilipo, on the left lies Portici, and towards the north the cone of Vesuvius is distinctly seen, with a fine line of blue smoke mounting upward like the streamer of a ship of war. The chief street, the Toledo, three-quarters of a mile long, is ornamented with superb buildings, interspersed with splendid shops. That leading to the Capo di Monte, over a very fine bridge, is also extremely handsome ; but, in general, the streets are narrow, very dirty, and infested with beggars, pickpockets, and armed police, who do but little to prevent depredations. The fortifications, with the castle of St. Elmo, and the Pharos, with the dockyards and magazines, are well worthy of a visit ; and the churches, of a strikingly beautiful architecture, and decorated with pictures by some of the greatest Italian artists, attract the traveller’s attention. The Villa Royale, the noble palaces, institutions, squares, and those indispensable appendages to great cities, where tlie climate is so enervating — the fountains, are amongst the handsomest of their kind in all Italy ; while the theatres, (San Carlo taking precedence,) are not to be surpassed, since the opera of Naples stands deservedly high, though other theatrical entertainments do not reach those of Rome or Florence. One of the most popular amusements is that offered by the Improvisatori, who collect eager and attentive crowds around them, while others recite and expound the poems of Ariosto or Tasso, with as much grace as judgment. Punch, too, but in an inferior form, is a popular amusement of the people, and I have seen groups convulsed with laughter at the gross drolleries of these wooden actors. The promenades and environs of Naples own no superior in their way. The prospects from these latter are so boundless, so beautiful, and so dreamy, as the sea and the sky meet far away over the islanded Mediterranean. One of our visits was paid to Vesuvius, which has so much of the lovely and the terrible blended together. Viewed from across the bay, it is like a picture from the hand of some great artist.
