LONLBARDY.—The advices of this morning are
not more recent in date than those which I sent in
the postcript of my letter of yesterday, but I am
enabled to supply some further particulars. lip to
the Gth, no engagement of any importance had taken
place. At Mantua General Walmoden had under
his command a body of 12,000 men. The Sardinian
troops were advancing and taking up their positions
on the right bank of the Mincio.
At the Sardinian heed quarters it was not expected
that any serious engagement could take place -before
the 9th. It was conjectured that Radetsky was wait-
ing for reinforcements from Austria.
The division commanded by General Walmoden,
occupying Mantua, was said to be incapable of taking
any part in a general action.' Almost surrounded
by the Piedmontese troops, it was menaced
in the rear by General Durand°, who was advancing
from Rovigo with a corps of Roman and Tuscan
auxiliaries, including 6,000 Swigs of the Pontifical
army. It was also menaced in another direction by
the Venetian &oxalates descending upon it from
Padua under Sanfermo. The danger in fine appeared
imminent that the Austrian line would be broken
above Mantua, and the left of the reserve cut off from
the main body. In case of extreme necessity it was
said to be the intention of Radetzki to throw his
entire forces into the fortresses of Mantua and
Verona, and there wait the arrival of reinforcements
from Vienna.

Letters have been received from Naples at Milan
which somewhat damped the hopes which had been
entertained of considerable aid from that quarter. It
was said, that the King had offered Gen. Zepe the
Presidency of the Council, with a ministry of his own
choice, which the general refused, unless the crown
also granted to the future Chamber of Deputies the
powers of a constituent assembly, and would consent
to send 12,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 32 pieces
of artillery, to Lombardy. The King declining this,
Gen. Pep"! withdrew, and the ministry announced in
tho letter of our correspondent of the 4th was formed,
by whom one regiment of the line and some mounted
gensd'armes only were sent to Lombardy.
Advices from Parma of the sth say that the Duke
was still there, and had pledged himself to swear to
the constitution.
Although the advices direct from Milan of the 6th
say that Peschiera was still occupied by a part of the
Austrian reserve, the Piedniontese Gazette of the Bth
says that that place had been surrendered to the
Sardinian troops.
The following are the heads of the constitution
which the Duke of Parma has offered to his states:
The state shall be governed by a moderate, hereditary,
and constitutional monarchy, with the representative form.
The Reman catholic religion is declared to be that of the
state, but others are is be permitted. The sovereign is in-
violable, hat the minisees are responsible. The sovereign
possesses the usual powers, and can grant pardons to c n-
demned persons, but not to ministers wko have betrayed
their duty. The legislative power is to be exercised by the
sovereign and a Chamber of Deputies. Every citizen is to
be an elector at the ago of 25. A law is to declare the con-
ditions on which a citizen can be elected as deputy. The
deputies are to be paid by their respective communes. The
Chamber of Deputies is to be assemnled every year. No tax
can be imposed without its sanction, and that of the sove-
reign. Toe press is to be free. Judges net to he liable to
removal. No foreign troops cantle takes into the sexvice of
the state, except in virtue of a law.

PRODUCE.— MINCING-LANE, Half-past Ms.—
The public sale of 6,500 bags of Mauritius Sugar went off
steadily, at fully previous rate*. The sales of Bengal and
Penang are progressing without showing any material alte-
ration in prices.—Coffee: Very good ordinary Ceylon was
offered, and bought in at 31c ,in public sale. A parcel
of about 1,600 bags good ordinary is reported to have been sold
by private contract under3os., but the transaction has not been
officially acknowledged.—Rice : 1,000 bags and 1,000 pockets
of white Bengal were offered, and all bought in at 10s.—
Pepper: 700 bags black Eastern were offered, and bought
in at 201. per lb.—Cotton dull.—Rum out of demand.—Tea
has been in but limited demand to-day.—The week closes,
as it commenced, with a very heavy appearance for most
articles ; the want of exportation orders has a depressing in-
fluence, and there seems to be no immediate prospect of
amendment.

CORN.—MARK-LANE.—But little addition has been
made since Monday to our supplies of English Wheat,
either coastwise or by land-carriage samples. The few par-
cels that remained over from last market-day were with
difficulty disposed of at previous rates. Several cargoes of
Baltic red Wheat have arrived during the week, and these
are obtainable on easier terms. Barley, although the busi•
nese done was not large, was quite as dear. Oats were a
better sale, with the turn in price in favor of the seller.
Beans and Peas much as last quoted.

BANBURY, April 13.—The Corn trade, in all its branches,
is much the same as last week. The following are the
prices : Wheat, per bushel, ss. 6d. to 6s. 4d. Barley, per
qr., 30$. to 335. Beans, per bushel, 4s. 6d. to 6s. Oats, per
qr., 225. to 28s.
BARNSLEY, April 12. We have bad another very dull
market for Wheat; last week's prices were barely supported,
and a great deal remained unsold. The supply of Barley
was small, and firmer prices were maintained. Oats and
Beans steady.
. _

BIRMINGHAM, April 13.-During the present week we
have experienced more inquiry for Wheat, and some quan-
tity has changed hands at about previous currency ; but we
can note no improvement in the demand for Bosley. We
have a good consumptive sale for Oats, at a further reduc
tion of 6d. to Is. per qr., and the same remark applies to
Irish alms. Some good Danish Beans have been forced off,
at 11s. per 1961b5. At this day's market there was a less
supply of English Wheat, which sold at rather over the cur-
rency of this day se'nnight, but the improvement did not
extend to foreign. Barley in demand, and fully as dear.
Some quantity of Oats and Beans have changed hands,
at the decline noted below. The following are the
present quotations : - Wheat, English, white, goer bush.

BRIGFITON, April 13.-We have to report a dull market
to-day for every description of grain, especially for Wheat,
which moved off slowly, at our quotations. Barley
maintains its value, and sells Feely. Oats In moderate
request. Beans are very dull. Peas are scarce, and much
inquired after. Seeds still remain in such a depressed state,
that few sales can be effected. Wheat, white, 121. 10..

to 365. per qr.
BRISTOL, April 13.-A cargo of 2,175 quarter, of Wheat
from Odessa, with 943 qrs. of Wheat, 2,120 qrs. Oats, and
78.5 qrs. Barley coastwise and from Ireland, is this week's
supply, and the state of the market has remained lifeless.
We had a very poor attendance at to-day's market, with
moderate supply from farmers, and a very poor demand for
everything but Barley and Oats for seed. Fine malting Barley
was held firmly at fall prices, 3.55. to 386. per qr. • grinding
quality saleable at 275. to 295. Farmers' Wheat, 44a. to 495. ;
fine Polish and Odessa. 475. to 495. Low foreign Wheat,
445. to 465. Seconds Flour, 35e. to 395. per sack. Barrels,
per 4801h5., 241. to 275. Oats, black, 17s. to 19s. per qr. •
white, 18s. to 225., being a decline of Gd. to Is. per qr., anti
great difficulty was experienced in making sales.
DIT/ZES, April 6.-Wheat today was in rather short
supply, and the trade was brisk, best qualities selling freely
at Is. per qr. advance, while inferior sorts fully maintained
last week's prices : almost every thing was sold. The supply
of Barley was pretty fair, and the demand for the beat qua-
lities, which realised fully last week's prices, was good ; in-
ferior parcels ware rather dull of sale; but a good clearance
was made. In Oats, Beans, and Peas, there is no alteration
to note. The prices were : Wheat, white, per quarter, 51s.
to 565.; best red, 50s. to 535. ' • middling, 43a. to 491. ;
Inferior, 40s. to 435. Barley, 27a. to 395. Oats, 21s.
