It appears from the repast of the governor of the
bask to the bank oonunithee, that the earns advanced
to the state by the bank sines the month of May,
1848, amount to 72,000,000 guilders, and that the elm
total, hada-bac previous grants, amounts to nearly
180,000,000. By open coedit the state may stall em-
ploy 14,300,000 inthebank, and when this is exhausted
the eon total of all the sums advanced to the state
will amount to nearly 192 millions. The discount
besieges of the Bank amounted last year to 4291
'Billion guilders, or above 63,000 stock. The loans
amounted to above 1641 millions on mortgages, and the
advane. sin prolongation of the same to 72 millions.
Is the deposit department there was at the end of
December, 1848, a balance of above 87 millions.
The current business had a circulation of 121 mil
hens, and the total transactions of the Bank tor the
year 1844 amounted to above 2,335 million guilders.
The w.girtrates have prevailed upon the Bank to
convert tae 4 per cent. loans into 2 per cent., and to
cover the deficit of 1849 by a loan at 2 per cent.

ROME, JAN: 9,

On Sunday morning it was whispered about town
as a great secret, and thereby got more rapidly circa-
Isted than if it were broadly placarded, that some-
thing in the shape of an excommunication bad arrived
from Gis to directed against all who had taken part
or brought about the disenthroning of the Pontiff.
Instead of there being an immense and immediate
demand for sackcloth and ashes, the population began
to prepare for the grand festival in honour of a banner
presented by the " heroic city of Venice" to Room If
you are not satiated by this time with description
of Roman triumphs and marches through the Corso, I
am, and so make short work of this tremendous display
of horse, foot artillery, tapestried windows, digs, and
jubila. ions, opening with a brass band adding Matra-
mental accompaniment to the vocal performance of
D rostra dace 2 Pio,
11. rid. 2 Berta.
Prince Corsini received the banner, in the name of
Rome, at the Capitol, and made an appropriate address.
Towarils evening, I regret to add that a number of
the young men of Rome, of the middle dames, to the
number of several hundreds, went about in search of
every hatter's shop in the metropolis, and as these
tradesmen generally sport a red beaver as a sign of
their aspiration to court patronage, every emblem of
that character was carried otf, and the number of these
trophies being very coneilerable, it became a question
what to do with the collection. To make a bonfire
therof struck them as difficult, inasmuch as they were
mostly made of block tin. They were ultimately flung
into the Tiber, which, like the Simla, Lao often
wafted similar spoil.

The excommunication, it appears, ie so worded as to
bear on those persons only who have b:ought about
the loss of the Pope's temporal authority. The gene-
ral apple:aloft of it made by the Romans is to Count
Harcourt, Spear, Antonelli, Martinez de la Ross, the
coachmen who drove, and the horses who carried off
the 1' pe from Rome. These latter quadrupeds will
not be allowed, on the Fah instant, to be blessed with
the other calls at the porch of St. Antonio.
The use of excommunication for obtaining temporal
objects is a topic unlit for newspaper paragraphs :
each readers as are curious on the subject, can study
the case tithe Republic of Venice when placed under
interdict for similar reasons. The theologian of that
republic, Frs. Paulo, had something to say for his
countrymen.

of 1848, 66 millions 6w the ordinary taus, sad 291 millions

taxation, bet the difference still is 'samosa. Durint the
first nine wanks of 11548, the 46 matinee produced 126 mil-
lions, or nearly two-thirds of the whole. October then gave

The pal meat of this tax appears to have been made each
month with greater difficulty,-may it be the only difficult
inkelitance left by 1848 to 1849!"

Pref. cure of Police of the number of carriages and vehicles

of the 3,111 public carriages running in the city is 62,5251 r.
The 'cadets caused by bursts and carriages in Paris show
an annual average of 309, of which 24 are fatal. The 'mai-
bus, favourites, hirondelles, and other public carriages run
along 36 lints; they &Menet tO 397, and are not included is

by the proviocial states. It appears from this document
that the extraordinary receipts are estimated at 110,55511.58,
sad the ordinary receipts at 651,17311. 191; total,
761,728/1. 771. The ordinary expenses are estimated at

760,838 d. 111, being an excels of receipts 8908. 33. The
population of the city of the Hague is estimated at 69,492
souls. The official report of the Minister of Marine shows
