The Florence Nazione of Tuesday has the fol.
lowing remarks upon the speech recently delivered
at Cossato by Signor Sella, the Italian Minister of
Finance :

The Minister of Finance has given a good
example for our constitutional life, by appearing
among his constituents and explaining to them, in
English fashion, at a banquet, his own views re-
SPecting the administration to which he belongs,
and the political course of the Cabinet of which he
is a member. . .We are rejoiced to find that
the *views of Signor Sella upon the Roman ques-
tion are in complete accordance with our own
programme. With much simplicity and distinct-
ness he has explained the judicious and appro-
priate reasons which induced the Cabinet to reject
the, pretensions of the Roman court with regard to
the abolition of the royal exequatur ; and in speak-
ing of the Convention of the 15th of September he
has admirably defined its political value, and its
inevitable effects. "We shall fulfil our engagements
with scrupulous loyalty," he said ; " the experiment
Of the temporal power of the Pope depending on its
Own Strength will be made without a trace or shadow
of violence on our part." This is the course, neither
More nor less, which the Italian Government ought
to impose upon itself with regard to the Convention
of the 15th September; this is the just and realinter-
Pretation of that treaty. Upon the Venetian question
it might have been desired that the minister should
have
explained his views more clearly; but his
official position sufficiently justifies the reserve he
io3posed upon himself on this subject. We are, how-
ever, rejoiced that instead of the discouraging re-
signation, and the timid counsels that we deplore in
other distinguished politicians, we find reasons in
the words of Signor Sella for believing that the
liberation of Venetia is still the first and most im-
portant object to which the efforts of the Govern-
ment point. We have on other occasions declared
that we do not ask from the ministry a promissory
note at a fixed date, that we do not ask it to tell us
the precise time and manner in which it means to
settle the Venetian question; but we ask it to con-
tinue in all earnestness the accomplishment of the
national
programme, and not to discourage the
Country by imprudent declarations, or arouse
Mistrust in the honest intentions of the Liberal
party. And Signor Sella satisfies our wishes
In frank and noble words. " The situation
i 8 a difficult one," he said, " there are not
wanting in the country representatives of a really
imPossible past." " Behind us is the abyss,"
acid General Lamarmora, amid the applause of the
110Usel " nor could a backward step be even
dllagined without terrible ruin to all and every-
g• There is thus no other alternative. We
Must go forward and complete the national pro-
gtarame." In these words our whole policy is ex-
pressed, and we gratefully welcome them from Signor
Sella. And we heartily join with him in the homage
Italians owe to the noblest and most patriotic
Of kings. The speech of Signor Sella comes oppor-
tunely to dispel the absurd rumours recently circu-
laied by malice and credulity, with respect to plans
of abdication, concordats, and the separation of
certain provinces from the rest of the kingdom. It
will strengthen, we are sure, the moderate party,
and revive that confidence in the destinies of the
country, which grows weak and oscillates when
doubt arises as to the convictions of the men who
stand at the helm of the State.

The Money-market presents an easier appearance

however, is shown by the brokers to negotiate the
best bills upon lower terms than have lately pre-
prevailed, viz., 6 and 7 per cent.
The sum of £lB,OOO in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday.

moderate amount of business transacted in the

inquiry, while slightly enhanced rates have beet
obtained for tea. Rice has commanded full prices,
While for tallow there has been a better inquiry at
enhanced quotations for both present and forward
delivery.

FRIGTHFUL DEATH.

Yesterday Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner for Mid-
dlesex, held an inquest at the Alfred's Head,
William-street, Stepney-green, on the body of
Mercy Ellis, a married woman, aged 44, who re-
sided with her husband at 47, Silver-street, Step-
ney, who met with her death under very painful
circumstances.

From the statements of the witnesses it appeared
that the deceased had been drinking hard for the
last three years, and had not been sober for a single
day for the last three months. It had been her
custom when the time approached for her husband
to return home in the evening to lock herself in the
parlour, and when he entered the house to make her
exit by the window and proceed to obtain more
drink. On Monday, the 23d of October, her son
Henry, aged 20, upon returning home at six o'clock
in the evening, found her so drunk that she did not
seem to know what she was doing. She proceeded
upstairs to the first-floor front room and locked
herself in. Shortly afterwards an alarm was raised
from the street, and it was found that she was lying
on the kerb with her head fractured, having evi-
dently fallen or jumped from the window. From
statements she afterwards made, it appeared that
when she got upstairs she was so drunk that she
thought she was still in the parlour, and proceeded
to get

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
;Titer's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
"f. 45c. Finn
There are the same indications of easiness in the
general appearance of the Discount Market.
Q,l3ll°Yancy was the characteristic of the English
Market this morning, and a farther rise of I
per cent• took place. As
per cent. advance oc-
rred yesterday, the additional improvement led to
..,sales in realisation of profits, and the per cent. has
Bner,en lost in consequence. Consols for money are
1 and for the account (ex div.) 88 e. Business
not very active, but there are signs of speculative
dealings.
In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have
been rather numerous, and quotations generally
Show an improvement. Turkish Consolides have
risen
to 47i 481; Mexican, ex all, are 25* .g-;

From the 'medical evidence it appeared that de-
ceased might have recovered if her blood had not
been thoroughly poisoned by drink. An enormous
ulcer formed on her back whilst confined to her bed,
had hastened her death. The ulcer had been
caused by lying in the wet.
The husband of the deceased said that there were
tbree females waiting upon her during her illness.
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."

The United States Consul at Leghorn, in a com-
munication to the State Department, under date of Sept.
30, represents that there is a constant inquiry for Ameri-
can vessels, which are given the preference by parties
desirous of chartering, but as they cannot be had others
are taken. Twelve American ships would have been
chartered during the past three months if they could
have been obtained.
