ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 14th announces that a portion
of the old Palace of the SPINOLA family, situated on the
Piazza di Santo-Giacomo-Scossa Caralli, at the foot of the
Vatican, is about to be devoted as a special establishment to
.prepare for the priesthood Protestant ministers as, alter
their conversion to Catholicism, may feel themselves called
on to enter into Holy orders. Cardinal Casrai,m, who in
1685 became the pr prietor of this Palace, bequeathed it at
his death as a temporary asylum fur such persons as had
sacrificed their position by embracing the Catholic religion,
whence it derived its present name of the Palace of the
Convertiti. The POPE has taken on himself, from his
privy purse, to defray the expense of these pupils for the
priesthood.

MARKET AEWs.--(TkilS DAY.)

CORN EXCH A N GE.7-(FRID A Y.)

A fair average time-of-year supply of English Wheitt-
-3,310 quarters—has arrived during the present week coast-
wise, but, as the receipts fresh up to-day by land-carriage
were small, the show of samples -as again imited. Not-
withstanding that our foreign advices are mostly in favour
of higher rates, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce ruled inactive, yet Monday's prices were supported..
For forward delivery we heard of very few transactions.
From abroad 3,380 quarters of Wheat have reached us,
partly from Holland. Selected qualities sold slowly, at full
currencies. In low and middling kinds next to nothing was
doing. Floating cargoes were tolerably firm as to price, but
the sales were comparatively trifling. We were but scan-
tily supplied with both English and foreign Barley, for
which the inquiry was dull, at late rates. The Malt trade
was heavy, but no change took place in prices. Good fresh
Oats were quite as dear as last week. In other kinds very
few sales were reported. Fine Flour was firm; but Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were heavy.

SMITEITIALD.
Our market, to-day, was very moderately supplied with
beasts ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in a de-
pressed state, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday—the extreme top figure tor Beef being 3s 8d per
Blbs. Although the number of sheep was by no means ex-
tensive, that description of stock moved off slowly, at barely
late rates. A few very superior old Downs realised 4s 4d in
the wool. In Lambs, the supply of which was on the in-
crease, only a limited business was transacted, at our quo-
tations. Calves were a slow sale, but not cheaper. The
Pork trade was very dull, at barely last week's currency.
Mulch Cows were heavy, at from 141 to 181 each, including
their small calf.
