The price has fallen to 31. 16s. per ounce. The
receipt of gold at Melbourne for the three months

bnding May 11 was 861,700 ounces, against 495,460

of news we give elsewhere will be found highly

interesting,

Our papers, foreign and English, arc full of

doubt, fear, and speculation, about some contin-
gent revolution in Italy. The only influence for
the actual state of things, is that of Austria and
the Roman Catholic church. The great movement,
though largely affected by the Mazzinian policy of
an Italian republic, is evidently directed towards an
Italian monarchy. The point d'appui is Piedmont,
but the Archimedes directing the action of the
lever would appear to reside at least as remotely
as the Tuillefies. Our last accounts represent
the Sardinian Government lending itself to an
active agitation in favour of Italian nationality,
while Austria is placing herself in a state of war-
like preparation unprecedented, even during the
late campaigns.

Our Parisian Correspondent gives an amusing
account of the last of the Imperial difficulties,
lath, which- wa have been made acquainted. The
Elpperor had been so effectually protected from
the manifestations of his subjects' love or hate,
during • his late railway trip from Luneville
tb Paris, that on his arrival there were no means
of exit, for him and some obese courtier or
two, except through the carriage window. We

may easily suppose the Empress in her pretty
English receiving him as he emerged with
an adage • not, perhaps, unfamiliar to her
thoughtful wisdom—" When poverty enters at the
" door, love flies out at the window l"
::The delay and difficulties which the Russians place
in the way of fulfilling the late treaty, are so bold
iind unexpected, and have so little warrant in any
facts known to the public, that they are beginning
to cause serious uneasiness, and no doubt prevent
that rise of prices which the favourableness of
nearly all our harvest reports, and the immense
arrivals of gold, tend to produce. The anxiety is not
diminished by the fact that the French Government
has declined to join its fleet to that which our
GovernMent has ordered back to the Black Sea,
and has advised the Sultan to restrict himself to
diplomatic manifestations. The loss of influence in
Turkey, in favour of France, which we have pur-
chased by our late costly war, will be ill indemni
fled by fiading ourselves isolated as an European
Power when protesting against the renewed

encroachments of Russia.
Our news from Spain add to the horrors of a
civil war, scarcely finished, those of an impending
famine, and an actually experienced cholera. As
if these were not enough, however, incendary fires
are spoken of as common in Castille. The cholera
reigns at Valdemorlelo, near the Escurial, and

at Madrid. As we are going to press, it is
announced by the electric telegraph, that serious
discords have arisen between O'Donnell and Ros
de (Marta, which forbode a break-up of the present
government, in which ease Narva' z will problibly
refuse the ambassadorship to St. Petersburg, said
to be offered him.
