BERNE, Thursday, June 9.—Private letters assert

especially among the superior officers. The same

Field-Marshal Lieutenant Urban successfully effected
a retreat with his troops, by Cassano.

stood that such acts as the annexation of Lombardy
are of a provisional character, and are intended
to be in force only during the war. The
Grand Duke of Tuscany has formally protested
against the revolution. He states that the revolu-
tionary party, at the instigation of Piedmont, wished
him to declare war against the Austrians, but he
preferred leaving Tuscany rather than adopt such a
course.

Garibaldi's corps is said to he mainly composed of
the officers and men who belonged to the British-
Italian Legion during the Crimean war.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening.
There was a fair business done in Cotton to-day,
and prices were pretty well supported. The sales
were 6,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation and
for export.
In the Liverpool Share Market to-day there was
a dull feeling, and prices were not so strong. The
following were the day's transactions :-Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 87-&, 88 ; London and North Western,
881 ; Manchester Sheffield and Lincoln, 34y ;
Midland, 971 ; foyers, 191, 19 7-16, 197, ;

nian, 78, 781 ;, Eastern Counties, 101, 10Z- ; East

The Weekly Traffic Returns of the London and
North-Western Railway show receipts of 65,8981,
being an increase of 4,246/.
The Market for the Public Funds and Securitie
was quiet, but steady to-day. Business is in a
tent state, bona fide operations for the publi,
having diminished, and the speculative dealings
represent a very small aggregate amount. Consider-
ing the position of monetary affairs, and the low
prices at which many classes of negotiable property
still remain, it is rather surprising that some revival
of activity has not been experienced ; but it appears
that-the lesson taught by the recent collapse in prices
is still strongly impressed upon the minds of those
who engage in this hazardous description of business.
There are many who consider the present range of
values too high, looking at the state of Continental
politics, and the possibility of England becoming
involved in the struggle; but at the same time they
wisely abstain from effecting sales, with the hope of
buying back at lower prices, owing to the scarcity of
stock, and the absence of any adverse influences in
home affairs to produce immediate depreciation.
To-day, Consols opened at 931 to 93 ~?-7, and advanced
to 931 buyers, closing at. 931 to 93Z-. The market
for some time showed firmness, but declined on a
variety of rumours for which there does not appear
to be any foundation at present. Exchequer Bills
were quiet at 21 to 25, and Bank Stock at 219 to
221. The New Threes were quoted at 921 to 921.
The London Railway Share Market was much the
same as on Tuesday. There may, perhaps, be a
slight weakness to record, but the decline is

The London Wool Sales were brought to a conclu-
sion this afternoon. Very few buyers have been in
attendance during the series, yet, on the whole, the
biddings have ruled steady, and most parcels offered
have changed hands.

very trifling.

At the -annual meeting of the Bank of British
North America yesterday, a report was presented,
stating that the trade of the colony was still
depressed, and that business in all branches was

much restricted. The net profits for the year were
.£61,988 2s. 7d,7 which enabled the directors to con,

thine the dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
unuum free of income tax, and to carry the Ann of
£1,988 2s. 7d. to the rest, which would make the
amount £122,756 on the 31st of December last.
Arrangements had been completed for establishing
a branch at Victoria; in Vancouver's Island. The

chairman regretted that it was not in the power of
the directors to award a bonus on this occasion in
addition to the dividend, as the profits had been
diminished in consequence of the depressed state or
trade. He informed the proprietors that the Queen's
signature had just been affixed to the renewal of the
charter for another ten years. The report was
adopted unanimously.

The Wine Market continues heavy, and transac-
tions are confined to actual wants, the continued
high prices abroad offering no inducement to invest-
ment. There had been a slight advance in white

ruled somewhat higher at the beginning of the
month, but has since then given way, and prices
consequently remain unchanged ; nor is there now
much prospect of activity.

From the North of Ireland we learn that the
clearances .of finished Linens for the different
markets abroad have been large for so far in the
year, but not equal to those of 1857. Upwards of
50 millions of yards of goods were sent off in the five
months, against 45 millions of yards for the same
period of last year. America has taken more than
twice the quantity, while to Cuba the business has
fallen off one-half. The trade with Canada con-
tinues to improve, and, with the increased facilities
of transit, hopes are entertained that, in a short
period, that prosperous portion of the British
possessions will consume of linen fabrics some-
thing like the proportion which a people so essentially
Anglo-Saxon in their tastes and ha
expected to do. With the Hanseatic towns a fail
business has been effected. Home demand continues
to exercise a very favourable influence on the trade.
Stocks are in moderate compass.
Forgeries of bills to rather a large amount have
just been brought to light. The person implicated
is named John Lockhart Morton, was formerly
engaged in business as a civil engineer in Parliament-
street, and is now described as merchant and
bill-broker, of Finch-lane. He appears to have had
transactions lately in the timber trade, and also to
have made consignments to Australia. His connec-
tions are highly respectable, and his attainments are
described as of a high order. This person was yester-
day carried before the Lord Mayor, and remanded
on a charge of forging and uttering a bill of exchange
for 5001., purporting to be accepted by Messrs. P.,
W. Flower and Co., of Princes-street, with intent to
defraud the London Discount Company, who are the
prosecutors. Other bills, believed to be fictitious,
are held by this company, but the amount, as far as
can yet be ascertained, is only moderate. The loss
will be further reduced by the proceeds of property
seized by the company on Monday. At least one
other discount establishment ,is involved, but -is
understood to be covered to a considerable extent.
There is a rumour that the total amount of the
forgeries is not less than £20,000, but this may prove
to be an exaggeration
