ITALY.

The loan that has been stipulated at Rome with
Messrs. Rothschild is for 26 millions of francs, and
the conditions are 83, and 5 per cent. interest.
Messrs. Rothschild undertake to pay this sum in
four instalments. This money is being raised in
order to withdraw the paper currency, which
amounts to three millions of scudi. The Govern-
ment promises the total extinction of the paper
money by the end of next October.
The continuation of the works of the Pialatina
Railway from Rome to Frascati, which had been
commenced by the company Altieri and Conti,
and subsequently abandoned, has been conceded to
a French society (Messrs Dupre and Rampon), who
have undertaken to finish it by the end of next
August.

The question of the Universy paper has been sub-
mitted to a congregation of bishops and civilians
for decision. This is in consequence of the solici-
tations of M. Veuillot, who has had several inter-
views with the Pope on the subject.
On the 2d, the charge of homicide against Duke
Sforza-Cesanni was brought before the Roman
criminal tribunal. This nobleman had the misfor-
tune some months since to kill one of his servants
by accident. Notwithstanding his well-known in-
nocence, it is to be feared that he will be sentenced
to punishment on the plea of inadvertence.
Mr. Lyons, the new British unofficial represen-
tative at Rome, is daily expected there.

The annual firework; did not come off on Easter
Sunday, on account of the bad weather. On the
3d they were fired from the Monte Pincio, in the
presence of an immense concourse of people. Every-
thing terminated peaceably.
The official journal of Turin publishes the memo-
randum of the Sardinian Government on the' diffe-
rence with the Austrian Government respecting
the sequestration decree. The memorandum ends
as follows :—" It is a grave attack, against which
we appeal to the conscience, when better informed,
of the Cabinet of Vienna, and against which we
also invoke the good offices of the sovereigns our
allies and friends."

AUSTRIA.
A telelgraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, nth inst.,
announces that an Imperial commission, presided
over by Count Rechberg, will shortly proceed to
Italy. _ _ _

N. Lackenbacher and General Benedeck will, it
is said, be members of it.
The commission will not be an acting one. Its
duties will consist in examining the definite mea-
sure of organisation.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign sOci‘i
the time of year considered; whilst the general qualiti ° •
the supply was good.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of bees°
fresh up this morning were on the increase, and in il;
cellent condition. On the whole, the attendance of bot,
town and country butchers was tolerably numerous ; Y;),
owing to the change in the weather, there was less acts
in the trade. However, last week's prices Nfere well °DP;
ported, and the general top figure for beef was the same
on Friday last, viz., 4s 4d per Sibs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and C°111;
bridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots and short ; fr°
other parts of England, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, Z4°,•
and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots.
Oa°
Comparatively speaking, the numbers of sheep
very Moderate ; but the general weight of the supply to I
a fair average one. Notwithstanding that the Mew.
trade was considered in a very sluggish state, late 0.
rencios were paid by the butchers. The primest old Dow!"

Lambs, the show of which was by no means extensiel
sold at from ss. 4d. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. From the 1010 -

We were rather scantily supplied with calves, the B.

dared, that "if it is thought that the in-
terests of the public require a line, he will
not allow his own personal feelings to stand out
against it, however much he may otherwise re-
gret it." This is as it should be ; affording, as
it does, almost a certainty as to the ultimate and
complete success of these meritorious projects.

THE POLTIMORE COPPER and GOLD
MINING COMPANY.
Offices, Vernon House, No. 50, Pall-Mall.
EXTRACT OF CIRCULAR.
Saturday, April 16, 1853.
The annexed Is a transcript of the Report of Messrs. Rawlins and
Watson. of St. Helen's :
Bridgewater Works, St. Helen's, Lancashire,
14th April, 1853.
Gentlemen,—We have now finished the reduction of the 50 tons of
Auriferous Gossan from the Poltimore Mine.
The parcel consisted of 2 sorts—the Brown and the Red; the first
(being, we understand, from the west lode) when dried weighed 23
tons 14 cwt. ; and the lied (from the east lode) weighed, dry, 21 tons.
The Brown yielded 7 oz. 2 dwts. of gold, being at the rate of 6 dirs.
per ton of dry ore.
The Red produced 28 oz. 7 dwts. of gold, being at the rate of 1 oz.
7 dwts. per ton of dry ore.
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen.
Yours most respectfully,
RAWLINS AND WATSON.
To the Committee of Management of the Poltimore -
Copper and Gold Muting Company.
P.S.--In order that the Company may have additional data for
farming an opinion respecting the value of the Gossan, we add, that
we are willing to-undertake the reduction of the Red ore, containing •
the same proportion ofgold as the lot we have reduced, and return to
the Company one ounce of gold per ton of dry ore, ftee from all
smelting charges; or we should be willing to give at the rate of 41.45.
per t nof dry ore. Now, assuming that the cost of the raising and
carriage of the ore would amount to about 11. per ton, this would
cause a net profit of 31. per ton, which, at the rate of 300 tons weekly,
wont.' give a net profit of 9001. per week, or upwards of 46,0001. per
annum,—and this from auriferous ore alone, irrespective of any cop-
per or other lodes.
As a proof of our confidence in the undertakinf, we now take the
500 shares which were placed at our disposal. R. and W.
Circulars, in detail, may be had on application at the offices.
By order of the Committee.

You will thus see the advantage for the north of Scot-
land of adopting the American plan of cheap construc-
tion ; and, as I have said before, to obtain cheap con-
struction we must have liberal terms from the landed in-
terest. I hope, therefore, gentlemen, the entire north
will combine in promoting this most important measure.
I trust no petty jealousies will operate in the mind of
any one to prevent them coming forward to lend their
aid to this work. Many influential parties, whose
opinions are entitled to the utmost respect, consider that
the Great North of Scotland line is the most natural
route, and should be first promoted. To this, of course,
you cannot agree. The seven northern counties of Scot-
land are surely entitled to the most direct comm • urnca-
tion that can be obtained. There can be no objection
to the North of Scotland line. No one more rejoiced
than I did to hear that it had commenced. What I ob-
jected to, and what I have all along objected to, was that
the Aberdeen people should construct a line and obtain
exclusive powers to force the northern public and their
traffic round by Aberdeen—a detour of 70 miles. The
promoters in Aberdeen, however, have now adopted
more reasonable views. They have fixed their northern
terminus at Elgin, where the traffic naturally would
divide ; and if they adhere to that point, they will have
a good paying line from their local traffic, as they are
constructing their works on a moderate scale ; but we
must watch them, as they still threaten opposition to our
direct line of communication. Now, in respect to
whether this Perth and Inverness line will pay, I may
add a few words. In the statement which we have
printed, it will be seen that for a double line the return
will be upwards of 5 per cent., and for a single line
6 2-sths, even according to the outlay by the original
estimates of 10,2321. per mile for a double, and 8,8171.
for a single line. But it is to be hoped that considerable
saving may be effected on this sum. If our railway
should not exceed the American cost of 7,0001. a mile,
allowing even the working expenses at 50 per cent., a
traffic of 141. per mile per week would amply suffice to
pay a dividend of 5 per cent. In Canada extensive
English companies have undertaken the construction of
as many as 1,112 miles of railway on this scale, and
about this cost. The only thing analogous which we have

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for
all kinds was in a sluggish state at drooping prices. Barley
moved off steadily at full quotations. Oats were quite 11
dear ; but malt, beans, peas, and flour were very dull, an
lower to purchase.
Advices from New York state that both wheat and flour
were in active request, at higher terms. In most of the
continental markets the general• demand has ruled heavy,
notwithstanding that the supplies on offer have been by no
means extensive.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Engles
grain were limited. From abroad we received 9,439 qrB*
of wheat, 5,703 barley, 2,110 oats, 1,700 rye, 1,724 beans,
2,005 tares, 2,796 linseed, 112 mustard seed, 66 sundry
seeds, 700 sacks and 11,076 brls. of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of wheat
from Kent, coastwise, were rather limited ; from Essex,
moderate. From the east coast, the supply was trilling'
By land carriage the receipts were small, hence the show
of samples of both red and and white were limited, but In
fair average condition. The attendance of both town and
country millers being far from numerous, and the pressure
of foreign flour rather heavy, the demand for all kinds of
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. In prices'
however, no change took place, and a total clearance was
with difficulty effected.
The amount of business doing in wheats for forward de',
ivory was trifling in the extreme.
With foreign wheat we wore again extensively supplied',
chiefly ex granary. Good heavy qualities sold slowly a"
last Monday's currency ; but low and middling kinds were
much neglected, and almost nominal in value.
Floating cargoes, the arrivals of which have not been
large, met a dull inquiry,. on former terms.
We were but moderately supplied with barley. Maltini
samples were quite as .clear as last week. Grinding Oil'
distilling sorts sold sloWlyi yet the quotations were we"
supported.
We were extensively supplied with malt, the sale for
which was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
The show of oats was seasonably good. Most kinds were
in fair request, and late rates were fairly supported.
We were but moderately supplied with beans, in whir'
only a limited business was doing, at late rates.
The sale for peas ruled very inactive, but 'ho change
took place in prices.
The flour trade was heavy, and the top price of the heat
town-made was 445. per 2801bs. American parcels wen°
very dull.

EXPERIMENTAL SIIICIDE.—A most extraordinary act
of accidental suicide—if the verdict of a jury empan-
nelled by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, on
Saturday last, can be relied on—was perpetrated on Fri-
day, at Messrs. Coutts's banking-house, in the Strand.
It appears that a father aad son, named Jones, in the
employ of Mr. Rigby, a builder, of Belvedere-road, were
engaged in plastering and whitewashing one of the
rooms at the bank on Friday last. The father left the
room for a short period in the middle of the day,
and, on his return, was horror-struck at discovering
his son a corpse, suspended by the neck from a
line attached to a pane of glass used for ventilating
purposes in the window. The line merely passed
under the chin and at the back of the ears, without
encircling the neck, and as the feet were upon the
ground and the knees within two inches of it, it appears
very remarkable that the deceased, if inclined only to
try the effect of experimental hanging, failed in saving
himself. The fact, however, is certain that animation
was suspended, and, although the body was warm when
removed, to Charing-cross Hospital, all attempts at re-
suscitation proveefruitless. The jury returned a ver-
dict of " Accidental death." An improper attempt to
stifle the inquiry, by the offer of bribes to the reporters
present, was made by certain persons, with what view it
is not very easy to divine.
EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVALS OF GAME FROM NORWAY.

EXTRACT OF CIRCULAR.
Saturday, April 16, 1853.
The annexed is a transcript of the Report of Messrs. Rawlins and
Watson. of St. Helen's :
Bridgewater Works. St. Helen's, Lancashire, .
14th April, 1853.
Gentlemen,—We have now finished the reduction of the 50 tons of
Auriferous Oman from the Poltimoro Mine.
The parcel consisted of 2 sorts—the Brown and the Red; the first
(being, we understand, from the west lode) when dried weighed 23
tons 14 cwt. ; and the lied (from the east lode) weighed, dry, 21 tons.
The Brown yielded 7 oz. 2 dwts. of gold, being at the rate of 6 dwts.
per ton of dry ore.
The lied produffd 28 oz. 7 dwts. of gold, being at the rate of 1 oz.
7 dwts. per ton of dry ore.
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen.
Yours most respectfully,
RAWLINS AND WATjON.
To the Committee of Management of the Poltimoro
Copper and Gold Mining Company.
P.S.—ln order that the Company may have additional data far
fenning an opinion respecting the value of the Gossan, we add, that
we are willing to undertake the reduction of the Red ore, containing
the same proportion ofgold as the lot we have reduced, and return to
the Company one ounce of gold per ton of dry ore, free from all
smelting charges; or we should be willing to give at the rate of 4/.45.
per t nof dry ore. Now, assuming that the cost of the raising and
carriage of the ore would amount to ab, ut 11. per ton, this would
cause a net profit of 3/. per ton which. at the rate of 300 tons we( kly,
would give a net profit of 9001. per week, or upwards of 46,000/. per
annum,—and this from auriferous ore alone, irrespective of any cop-
per or other lodes.
As a proof of our confidence in the undertaking, we now take the
500 shares which were placed at our disposal. R. and W.
Circulars, in detail, may be had on application at the offices.
By order of the Committee.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.)

MAYO.
At the sitting of the committee this morning,
Captain John Floyd, a captain in the 3d Regiment,
stated that he was stationed at Castlebar during the
election. One night, a short time before the election,
he was called up at 11 o'clock in consequence of a dis-
turbance which had taken place in the town. He found
a number of priests making violent and seditious
speeches from the windows. of the Armstrong Hotel.
They alluded to what had taken place at Stockport,
and exhorted the voters not to vote for the Crown and
the Castle. Colonel 11/PAlpine's voters were assaulted
in a most brutal way, and Colonel APAlpine, if he had
not been guarded by an escort of dragoons, would
have been in great danger. Stones were thrown
in great numbers, soma of them very large ones. The
minister of the parish was pelted in a most brutal way.
On the day after the nomination witness was ordered
with his company to Ballinar. On enterinc, the town
the troops were hissed, an occurrence which he had
never witnessed in Ireland before. The town was in
great excitement all the day, and the magistrates were
obliged to release several persons who had been taken
by the police in order to quiet the mob. On the first day
of pollinc, there was no disturbance until after the polling.
Witness had to escort a large body of Col. M'Alpine's
voters out of the town they had great difficulty in getting
through the mob. A violent attack was made on the
voters, and the mob attempted to get the voters out of
the hands of the escort. The troops were so closely
pressed that witness was obliged to order his men to
load, and threatened to fire. On hearing this some of
the Roman Catholics priests came forward and per-
suaded the mob to decline, though up to that time they
had been urging the mob on. The voters from Killala
were brought up in a steamer which was procured for
the purpose. Without an escort it would have been
quite impossible for any of Col. M'Alpine's voters to
have got in or out of Ballinar. Previous to the Riot
Act being read, witness gave orders to his men to run
any of th mob through who attempted to lay hands on
the voters whom they were escorting.

Cross•examined—Witness did not see one individual
voter preveuted from giving his vote.
Francis O'Donnell, clerk to Mr. Ormsby of Castlebar,
was under examination when our report left.
