ITALY.

Accounts have been received at Paris from Turin,
which state that the definitive treaty between Austria
and Sardinia has been concluded, notwithstanding
the efforts made by France to prevent it. Piedmont
has consented to pay an indemnity of 70 millions of
francs, and the Austrians give up the occupation of
Alessandria,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. QUARTER TO 7 HREE.

The sales oF Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation,
The market was very firm, and prices showed symp-
toms of improvement.—ln Railway Shares there was
but little business done, and prices of most kinds of
stock were lower.

The quantity of Wheat sold in the markets which
regulate the averages, was last week 72,705 qrs., and of
Oats, 12.935 qrs. The six weeks average price of
Wheat is 445. Bd. per quarter.
By direct arrivals we have letters and papers from
the Australian colonies, viz., to the 21st of February,
from Van Diemen's Land; the 10th, from Port Philip;
and the Ist, from South Australia, &c. The Hobart
Town accounts state that it was believed there would be
no further importation of convicts, but that the inhabi-
tants were as anxious as ever upon the subject. Wheat
was at 4s. 2d. to 4s. 3d. per bushel. The whaling fleet
was increasing materially, and this seems a branch of
maritime enterprise that will prove of the highest
advantage to the colony. Many fine vessels were build-
ing, and new ships had also arrived out from England.
It appears that the proceedings of the Marylebone
vestry, in reference to emigration, had attracted con-
siderable attention in Port Philip. Since the resump-
tion of immigration 5,000 free persons had arrived out,
and half a million head of cattle had been sent to the
smelting-pot and the shambles, and yet tha flocks were
larger than ever, and the country had absorbed all the
labour, and wages were still as high as in times of
dearth. The Superintendent had arrived at Portland
Bay having been lost seven days in the thick scrub on
his way towards Cape Otway. Catarrh was said to have
appeared at some of the stations in Gipp's Land. A
mine was about to be opened in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of Geelong, but it is not by any means certain
whether it offers much chance of success. The shares
at least were in great demand, and there seemed to be a
provising vein.

We have New Zealand papers of March 3, and one of
the late.t date has a statement upon the general affairs
of the Wellington districts, in which it is remarked—
" We consider it a fortunate circumstance to be able to
offer the strongest and most unequivocal testimony of
the friendly disposition of the native inhabitants of the
Southern Province towards the settlers, and their implicit
confidence in Sir George Grey in the following memo-
rial to the Queen, from the Ngatirankawa and Ngatiawa
tribes living at Otaki avid Waikanae, which we feel
persuaded will be read with the greatest interest both in
the colony as well as out of it. This document (which is
written by Levi. the native teacher at Waikanae, a very
intelligent native), is signed by the principal chiefs of the
Ngatirankawa, and also of the Ngatiawa tribe, who still
remain at Warkanae, and is the spontaneous expression
on their part of their sense of the benefits which
they enjoy under the benifieient government of Sir.
George Grey.

" When we find Rangihaeta also exerting himself to
save the property of the settlers, it must be admitted
that a very great change has been effected within a brief
interval, and the natives themselves, the best authority
in such a case, ascribe this change to the sagacity and
personal influence of Sir George Grey."
The barque Cornelia, which brings the accounts from
New Zealand, is the first vessel of the season, and has a
valuable cargo of oil, wool, &e., the produce of the
southern settlements.

The Vice-Consul of Mexico for Philadelphia has given
notice that the following modifications have been made
in the Mexican tariff:—
" TARIFF OF MEXICO.—TREASURY DECREE.

tom-house of Paso del Norte, State of Chihuahua."
This is of much importance to the commercial com-
munity. The decree is dated April 4.
The Amsterdam market on Tuesday was well sup-
ported. Spanish Bonds wt-re in more request, and other
foreign stocks were also brisk.
The Stock Market here continues flat, and sales of New
Three and-a• Quarter per Cents., and of Reduced Three
per Cents. Annuities, have been made for cash, said to
be on account of the Insurance Offices, which have
changed their investment into Long Annuities. The
New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 91i to
92k. Bank Stock in worth 1931. Exchequer-bills are

In Shares very little is doing, and prices are much the
same as yesterday.
