The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th instant an-
nounces the departure of General LA MARAIoRA,
Minister of War, for Lyons.
M. ODILoN BARROT arrived at Genoa on the 16th,
on his way to Naples.
The Genoa Corriere Mercantile, of the 16th inst.,
quotes the following :
" Count Giacomo Mnozoni, who was Minister at War
at Rome during the first months of 1849, had with
difficulty obtained leave to reside at Genoa and in the
Sardinian dominious. His family, which inhabits
Lugo, being desirous to see him, had applied to the
Tuscan Government, which agreed to grant him per-
mission to visit them. A safe conduct, delivered by the
Governor of Leghorn, and legalized by the Chief of the
Tuscan Police, was accordingly forwarded for him, with
special instructions, to tho Tuscan Consul at Genoa.
Furnished with that authorization, M. Mar_zoni em-
barked for Leghorn, but the Austrian Commander, dis-
regarding that act of the Tuscan authorities, refused
him permission to land. A guard was placed upon him
on board the steamer, and it was by special favour he
was allowed to continue his journey to Malta."

A paragraph, which originally appeared in some
of the continental papers, has been copied into several Eng-
lish journals, stating that the Earl of Westmoreland had
proceeded to Florence with a view to settle some pending
dispute between Tuscany and England. This report is ut-
terly without foundation—the visit of Lord Westmoreland
being purely of a private nature, and unconnected in any
way with public affairs.—Herald.
Mr. Paul Bedford's benefit will take place at the
Haymarket Theatre on next Wednesday, when, in addition
to the revived drama of Jack Sheppard, in which Mrs. Keeley
and Mr. Bedford will sustain their original characters of Jack
Sheppard and Blueskin, there will be a grand military con.
eert, and the new melodrama of Vie Writing on the Wall.
It would be superfluous to recommend the public to support
their old favourite on this interesting occasion. We have no
doubt that he will have a bumper house.
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—The second tube of
the great bridge over the Wye at Chepstow was to have
been raised last Thursday, but, in consequence et the incom-
pleteness of the arrangements, it has been deferred, and
cannot now take place until the 14th or 15th of October,
when there will be another high spring tide. It is nem.
shall taken of
sary, in order to the success of the delicateg operation of float-
ing this tremendous tube, that advanta
spring tides to raise it to a certain point where it can be
lodged, and thence lifted by powerful tackle to its final des-
tination of the intended roadway. In the mean time the
traffic is carried on with success on the one line of rails
already completed over the bridge, and over which some
heavy trains have lately passed. It is understood that the
new section of line from Swansea to Carmarthen will be
opened about the 15th of October for public traffic; it will
not be ready earlier.
The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, accompanied
by the youthful Marquis of Douglas and suite, arrived at
his Grace's sporting seat, Brodick Castle, Isle of Arran, on
Thursday last, via Ardrossan, from Hamilton Palace, near
Glasgow, where their Graces have been staying in strict re-
tirement since the recent death of the late memorable Duke.

The Noble ex• Premier, who is still sojourning with
Lady John Russell and family at Gart House, Callender,
N. 8., will be presented with the freedom of the burgh of
Stirling this day, when Lord John, it is expected, will deliver
an address of thanks for the compliment.
STATE OF TRADE.—The accounts from the manu-
facturing districts continue to report a generally favourable
state of trade; but a great disproportion exists between the
price of the raw material and the manufactured article. At
Manchester, the spinners are stated to be firm, and in some
cases higher rates have been paid for twist and yarn ; but
domestics are still very quiet, and the value of most of the
heavy fabrics leaves a loss upon their manufacture. At Brad-
ford, the manufacturers are steadily at work on orders. At
Leicester, the demand is active for most kinds of woollen
goods, and the mills are expected to be fully at work for some
time. The market at Liverpool for the raw material has
been very active at an advance in prices, caused in a great
measure by the accounts received from the United States re-
garding the prospects el the cotton crop.
