RIDOLFL

A distinguished Italian, whose letter we published
oa Thursday last, felt himself entitled by his know-
ledge of the Marquis Ridolfi to call in question the
accuracy of Mr. Scarlett's report to Lotd Maim...
bury of his interview with that nobleman, published
in the Blue-book on Italy. Mr. Scarlett related that
the marquis expressed to him the belief that " the
mhjority of the TWICIIIII were attached to the Grand
Ducal lazily, and would gladly see it restored."
Our correspondent's confidence has been justified.
To the Monitore Tograno, the marquis writes :

The despatch addressed by the British minister plenlpo •
tentiary at Florence to the Hui of Malmesbury, dated June?,
glees an amount of a c lawmen= between that diplomatist
and the undersigned. The undersigned regrets that in tbo
account of Ufa conversation, addressed to his government,
Mr. Scatlett, no doubt led into error by an imperfect recol-
lection of what had pained, should have attributed to him
opinions which he does not entertain, and expresaMets which
he never uttered; the undersigned having simply declared
that to the cauwa which render a restoration of the dynasty
of Lorraine in Tuscany impossible there must ass be added
its having teken refuge in Austria, and remained there per-
manently. C. RIDOLPI.

LIVERPOOL, WIDNELDAY.

The steamer Indian, from Quebec, June 18, has
arrived, bringing 108 passengers, amongst whom is
Mr. Cobden. The Indian, on the 18th, passed
the Aoglo•Saxon, hence bound up the St. Lawrence
to Quebec.

Letters from Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Rus-
ton were handed to Mr. Cobden on board the vessel.

Canadian news unimportant.
It was reported at New York that the Collins'
steamers, Atlantic and Baltic, had been sold to run
in the Galway lice.
The government at Washington had published
their promised document, in regard to the rights of
naturalised citizens who may visit Europe. Govern-

ment will not interfere in cases where individuals
volnntarily return to countries to which they owed
military service at the period of their departure for
America.

Instructions had been sent to the American
minister at Chili to demand reparation for the re-
vocation of th 3 American consuls. Equator at
Valparaiso, and a ship of war had been ordered to
Valparaiso to see to American interests.
New York papers of the 16th report the stock
market firm, but quiet. Latest prices:—lllinois

SOUTHAMPTON, WEIINZSDAT.

The Atrato, with the West Inaba and Pacific
mails, has arrived with 178 passengers, and nearly
one and a quarter million dollars in specie. She
left St. Thomas on the 16th. The islands are gene-
rally healthy; trade dull, except at Jamaica, where
it was unusually active.
The Atria() brings the Consuls of England, France,
and Spain, who have broken off political relations
with the government of St. Domingo. The cause of
the rupture was owing tothe Dominician government
calling in the paper money issued by the previous
administration, and fixing upon it a mere nominal
value.

The Consuls of Holland, Denmark, and Sardinia
have also suspended their relations. The American
Coruna still remains at St. Domingo.

THE BRAZILS.

LISBON, JUNE 28.

The Tyne has arrived here with the regular
monthly mails from the Brazils, and with advice.

Argentine Confederation. Paraguay promised to

Brazils remain neutral, but they are increasing their
naval forces in the La Plata. Buenos Ayres has
bought the steamers Camille, Urquizt, !dente, and
Pamfrero. No political news from the Brazils.

passengers, 61,2611. sterling in specie, and dia-
monds to the value of 2,325/.

day for the loan of this stack until the next settle-
ment. Transactions are recorded between :3 and
76j, and the closing quotation was 76, " buyers,"
being about 11 per cent. above that of yesterday.
The approaching drawing for the sinking fund bas
some effect. The New Loan rose about 1 per cent.,
closing at 601 to 61. Other foreign stocks were

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day are firm, with very little busi-
ness. Consols are now quoted 1.16 or per oent
higher than at 4 o'clock yesterday. Throughout
the Stock Exchange, complete stagnation
prevails, but prices in all instances are
well supported. A few of the British railway
shares are again rather higher, owing to the scarcity
of stock. Were it not for the fortnightly settlement
now in progress, the dealers would have no occupa-
tion to-day.

oteadi, with wiew
off at 17/ to 18.

The first official quotation of the Three per Cent,
Rental at Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, was 62.30 for the account, being about
per cent. higher than the last price of yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 924 and 921 ex
di,. for the Bth of July, and are now quoted 921 to t.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt
in at 921 to 931 ; the New Three per Cent/.
at 921 to 931 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Deben-
tures of last year, at 941; India Bonds, at se. to
10s. dis., and Exchequer Bills, at 225. to 235. prem.
The few transactions which have taken place in the
foreign stook market have been principally confined
to Turkish Bonds. The New Loan has risen to 61
to 62 ; but the Old Six per Cents., after being marked
751, have relapsed to 74 to 75. There have
been some enquiries for Mexican Bonds, as well as
for the Spanish Coupon Certificates. Sales are
recorded as follows Mexican Three per
Cents., 181, 18 ; Spanish Three per Cents.,
424 ; the Committee's Certificates for the Unfunded
Coupons, 31, 4 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 75,
731, 741 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 611, 601;
ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1031.

1. Me;ican Bonds left

Oriental Bauk shares were again inquired for to-
day, whilst Union Bank of Australia, hank of Aus-
tralasia, and Bank of London, were heavy. In the
market for miscellaneous shares no alteration
occurred. St. Katharine Dock stock was officially
marked, 661, 84 and 871.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 14th
July for the supply of 60 qes. of mustard seed.

The active demand for money usually experienced
at the close of the quarter continues, and few bills,
however good, are taken below 2; per cent. At the
Bank the business yesterday was to a fair extent,
some of the bill-brokers themselves being applicants
for the advances which are now granted by the Bank
for a period of a fortnight.
At Frankfort the rate of discount is now 3 per
cent.; at Amsterdam 3, and at Hamburg 2, per cent.
The amount of Australian gold sent into the Bank
yesterday was 30,0001. A large portion of the recent
imports is being refined, and its destination will not
be determined for • few days. 80,0001. in gold
from the United States was taken for deportation,
together with 16,000/. in Russian gold, the latter
forming part of a sum of 26,0001. which arrived at
Hull from St.Petereburg on Monday per the steamer
Leopard. Further parcels of gold from St. Peters-
burg to the amount of 80,000/. are now overdue, per
the steamers Hercules and Kier.
The influx of gold from Turkey is slackening.
Only small parcels, it is believed, will henceforward
come to hand.
On 'Change yesterday afternoon bills on Holland
and Naples were qaoted slightly less favourably for this
country, but paper on Paris and Frankfort was rather
more offered. Generally, the alteration in the rater
wars unimportant. The quotations are shown below :
Amsterdam, three months, 11.141 to 4; ditto short,
11.12 to 4; Bettordarn,three months, 11.141 to 1;
Antwerp, three months, 26.10 to 15; Hamburg, nurse
M
months, 13.31 to 4; Paris, three dag=4...5.71
to 16; ditto, three months, 26.30 to 6 ;
tho-Msdns, three months. 1161 to 4; Petersburg, per
rouble, this. months, 334 to 3 ; Vienna, of 60., three
months, 14.60 to 70 ; Trieste, ditto, three menthe, 14.70
to 80; Madrid, three months, 491 too: Cadiz, three
months, 491 to 4; Leghorn, three months, 29.93 to 30.05 ;
Genoa, three months, 25.70 to 80; Naples, three months,
411 to 1; Palermo, three months, 122 to 1; Marius, three
months, 122 to 4; Lisbon, 90 days, 611 to 1 ; Oporto,
90 days, 611 to 1.
The minimum price fixed by the government of
Victoria for the 760,0001. of New Six per Cent.
Bonds now awaiting disposal in London, is 108 per
cent., irrespective of accrued interest. The price of
the last issue must therefore rise farther before the
new series can be issued. It is possible that instead

At the extraordinary meeting of the Royal Mail
Steam Company, held yesterday, the shareholders, by
a deliberate vote, authorised the directors to tender for
the conveyance of the mails to Australia via Panama,
and also empowered the board to apply for a supple.
mental charter, which will enable the directors to
raise further capital by the issue of new shares, or
debentures to the extent of 600,0001. This coarse is
considered preferable to calling up the amount un-
paid on the existing shares. A proposal for the
appointment of a committee of five to aid in deciding
the terms of tender was withdrawn, confidence
being expressed in the experience and judgment of
the directors.

the balance of 23,671/. on the 31st May. 1858. De-
ducting the dividends paid in July and January last,
the balance on the 30th ult. becomes 42,077/., of
which the reserve will receive 10 per cent, and will
thus be raised to 65,742!. The net profits available
foe division will then be 37,8701., and the directors
accordingly recommended a dividend of 9 per cent.
per annum, payable, as usual, in half-yearly instal-
ments. The directors expressed their " unaltered

temporary depressions, cannot fail to afford in its im-
mense resources, and with its increasing population,
safe and abundant employment for capital." The
report was unanimously adopted, and the dividend
declared.
