t, the Funds received a fresh impulse this morning, owing
tprogress made towards the construction of a new
istry, coupled with an increased hope that the war in
aI.Y will not be of long duration. In the other markets
elded buoyancy was again shown. On 'Change, this
4t
,teraeon, there was a fair demand fob bills on the Conti-
Ot; and as regards Ilamburgh, Frankfort, St. Peters-
trgn, and Naples, the tendency was less favourable for this
Natry.—Daily News City Article, Tuesday Evening.
The statements regarding the progress of the formation
ot
the new ministry produced a good effect this morning,
,
consols opened with great buoyancy. This led to
leral realisations, both on the part of speculators and
td!? public, and a reaction took place, but the closing
V„,e,s were k per cent. above yesterday. There were no
ion operations at the Bank to-day. The banking-
Ise of Messrs. Fuller and Co., of Xfoorgate-street, is to
algarnate at the end of the present month with that of
titssrs. Yapte, Banbury and Co., of Lombard-street. The

attention, you will permit me to notice one more incident
connected with that interesting episode in the career of
those public men—an incident which honours the accused
and his defenders. M. Berryer and M. Dufaure declined
receiving any remuneration for the professional services
they rendered to their distinguished client, probably
on the ground that, in defending him, they once more
defended the liberty of the press and of the subkcf—
a labour of love, with which, in other times, they were
familiar. M. de Montalembert, appreciating the
delicacy of their conduct, and the value of their
services on that occasion, ordered two statues in silver to be
made ; one of Demosthenes, copied on a small scale from
the statue in the museum of the Vatican ; the other of
Aristides, on the model of that in the Museo Borbonico, at
Naples. The statue of Demosthenes is presented to M.
Berryer ; that of Aristides, to M. Dufaure. The War and
Marine Departments have made every arrangement for
providing for the wounded of the army of Italy. After
being treated on the field of battle they are, as soon as their
state shall permit, to be removed to the numerous hospitals
established in the principal towns of Piedmont. When
they have gained more strength" they are to be taken to
Genoa and embarked for France. Two steam frigates, the
Ulloa, and the Eldorado, a steam corvette the Gregeois, and
a steam advice the Meteore, have been fitted up as hos-
pitals, and are to be constantly engaged in going to and
fro between Genoa. and France. A battalion of the
Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard has just loft Paris for
the theatre 'of war ; and two divisions of the army of
Lyons are also making preparations for leaving.

TURIN, June 11.—The most recent news 'from Lombardy
ms • the •retreat of the Austrians behind the Adda,
vacuating Pavia, Tqacerizd, and Lodi, and destroying the
bridge at the last named place. Garibaldi reached Bergamo
on the Bth, and is said to have had a successful brush with

guey d'llilliers took a gun and 1,000 prisoners; the Ist
Zouaves and the 33rd of the lirle suffering considerably, and
the Colonel of the former corps being' among the slain,
besides 50 officers and 800 soldiers hors dc combat. This is
a very large proportion of officers. In the citadel of Milan,

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN

The screw-steamer North American, Captain Aiton,
arrived here last night, with Quebec dates to the- 4th inst.,
and about 120 passengers. The North American made the
run from Quebec to Liverpool in about
.10 days.

The news to hand is not of much interest or importance.
The Toronto Leader advocates the strengthening of the
Upper Canadian section of the Ministry by such a recon-
struction of the Cabinet as would ensure a
.parliamentary
majority from both Upper and Lower Canada; considers
that there is no difficulty in effecting this, and hints that it
it will be accomplished by the aid' of some of Mr. Ex-
Premier Brown's revolted adherents.

Colonel Munro, C. 8., becomes Commander of the Forces
in Canada, in consequence of the departure of Sir W. Eyre,
and Major Currie takes command temporarily of the 39th
Regiment.
In accordance with instructions received from the Horse
Guards, officers commanding corps in Canada may enlist
recruits there now.

The Montreal Gazette, of the 2nd inst., says :
The Honorable Charles Mondelet, Justice of the Superior
Court, took his seat yesterday in the Court of Appeals as
assistant judge, named to supply the place of his Honour
Mr. Justice Caron, acting as commissioner to codify the
laws. A rumour is current at the bar, among parties likely
to be well informed, that S. Cornwallis Monk, Esq., Q.C.
is about to be appointed a Justice of the Superior Court,
Mr. Monk's abilities, learning, and standing at the bar,
eminently qualify him for the post. and we believe, the
appointment, if made, will meet with the approbation of
the bar generally.

The Legislature of Prince Edward Island was prorouged
on the 19th May, when his Excellency, the Hon. D. Daly,
who is on the eve of his departure from the colony, took
leave of the members in the following words :

In bidding you adieu, IferVently trast that the favour of
Divine Providence. which has been so signally manifested
towards this island, may be ever ,continued to it, and
conduct its inhabitants to the condition of prosperity and
improvement which is ever attainable by the united and
harmonious cultivation of such capabilities as are possessed
by Prince Edward Island. Farewell !

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Qui €c, Saturday, June 4

ASHES are somewhat lower, indeed the quantity offering
on our market is so small that there is little inducement
for attention to that part of business.
PRODUCE: As anticipated in; and subsequent to date of
our last, prices particularly of flour declined materially---
the week's business in this branch has been meagre indeed,
and our quotations are to-day's rates, influenced of course
by the news per steamer America, three days' later from
Liverpool, bringing advices of a general downward
tendency. .

Pnovisrows: Mess pork is easier. We also quote prime
mess and prime lower; likewise beef, the usual demand for
ships' stores does not seem to exist.
Co .Ls : The arrivals have not been large, on consign-
ment, and prices are slightly firmer, at a small advance.

SALT : Sales have been made to arrive at our prices

Einsmuss in a general point of view continues dull ;
shipments to the lower provinces are very light, and the
high prices, combined with a want of circulation, restricts
our local buyers.

MONTREAL, Thursday Evening, Stine 2

There has been a soaking rain since our last, which has
done immense good to vegetation, and the weather is again
bright. The accounts from all quarters respecting the
appearance of the crops continue very favourable. The hay
crop in this vicinity will undoubtedly be good.
FLOUR. &c.: There has been great stagnation in the flour
trade. Good Upper Canada brands are held at $7 for super-
fine ; fancy, $7 25c ; and extra $7 50c to $8 50c. according
to quality, but there are no sales except at retail for con-
sumption. The lower grades are not active. The price of
oatmeal is nominal there being no sales of any consequence.
Grain is also very dull, and little doing. The only kind of
food shipping to Britain is peas, and which bring $1 to
$1 10c per minot.
PROVISIONS : Pork is again very dull, and several sales
have been made to dealers at the following rates : —Mess,
$l9; prime Mess, $l6 to $l6 25c; prime $l4 to $l4 50c.
Beef is also dull—prime Mess may be quoted at $l4 to
$l4 50c, and prime at $9 to $9 50c. Bacon, shoulders, and
hams are very difficult of sale. Lard is 124 c to 13c.

Burma is brought in freely by farmers, and fresh in rolls
is selling on the market at 10d, and even lower. This
brings down the price of packed butter, for which' it would
be difficult to make a quotation, there being no considerable
transactions. Very choice might bring. 10d to Ild.
Wool, is beminning to come in, and is worth is 8d to is 9d
per lb., for that which is clean and of fair (panty. It -is
likely that the demand from Canadian manufacturers will
be quite equal to the supply raised in Canada.
As LIES continue to arrive freely, and since our last Pots
have declined about 5 cents, and Pearls about 15 cents.
The current prices of to-day are Pots, $6 25c ; Pearls, $6 50c.
FREIGHTS : The greater part of the vessels which have
come to Montreal, have to return to Quebec to load timber
or deals. There is in fact nothing for them here but ashes
and a few peas, and the rates of freight continue low.
EXCHANGE has an upward tendency, but the bank is still
selling at 11 per cent. There is rather more demand for
money.

LOVE.—It is a singular fact that two of the most vigorous
writers of the English language appear to be in total
ignorance of all the feelings which take their rise from the
passion of love. We know of no single line that has fallen
from the pen of Swift, or from that of LeTcl Macaulay,
which indicates any sympathy with that passion which, in
the greater number of minds, affords the most powerful of
all motives.--" Lord Macaulay qua MarkopPik in Mack,
