The prospects of die silk crop continue to be
anxiously watched throughout Europe. Great apprehensions
Lace been co:mimed by the recent severity of the season,
but up to the latest dates the so:mato are not scab al to
cause discouragement. According to oddest from AL Arlo

Dufour, of Lyons, of the had tali, a rise equal to between 4
end 6 per oust. 0000MPli in the silk market during the last
few days el April, swing to the cold end threatening weather,
bat the new eabeseninGy rewired hoot the eolith of France,
Italy, Napiee, Speen, the Levant, end Greece had not been
in any degree anfaroursbie. It less certain, however, that if
the cold about continue to cheek vegetation, even without
heat, the cop would be seriously injured.

Bowe ha's been very full this season, and British
residents have as anal been the most nunaroua. Upwsrds
of 800 passports have teen signed by the British Consul
sham the beginning of the year, which, with about bOO
re-
massing, will give an approximate calculation of more than
3,000 British visitors for longer or duster periods during the
winter. As many more Eastlake, French, and &micas'
may be :schomed on ; so that altogether the Eternal l ity has
had six or wen thousand profitable zuomey-spending
foreigners to furnish the periodical resources calculated upon
by so large a clam of the Roman population.
