ITALY.

The army of CIIARLES ALBERT, consists of
120,000 men, and is stationed as follows :—" Avant
garde, 3,500 strong, at Castel- San- Giovanni, Fravan-
guola, &c. First division, commanded by General
DURANDO, at Valenza, Mede, Lunullo. Second divi-
sion, Gen. BES, at Mortara, Vigevano, Gumbolo, & C.
Third division, Gen. PERONE, at Casale, Gattinara,
Tornio. Fourth division, the Duke of GENOA, at
Novara Vercelli. Fifth (Lombard) division, Ge-
neral 11AMORINO, at Alexandria, Bosco Solero. Re-
serve, commanded by the Duke of SAVOY, at Casale,
Vercelli, Trino. Sixth division, General LAMAR-
MORA, at Sarzona. Seventh division, General
SOLAROLI, at Arona ; artillery, at Ale xandria.
Each division is composed in general of
two brigades of infantry, two batteries of
artillery, a regiment of cavalry, a company
of tirailleurs, a company of engineers, and a
company of guides. The first, second, third, and
fourth divisions and the reserve have each 10,500
men ; the second (Lombard division), has only 7,500 ;
the 6th, 7,000 ; and the seventh, 5,000. The Avant
grade, 3,500; the engineers, 2,300. The active army
then, shows a force of 80,000, of which 15,000 are
good troops. The artillery is composed of 21 batteries
of 8 pieces, of which 18 are Piedmontese, and 3 Lom-
bards. The cavalry counts six Piedmontese regiments
of from 600 to 700 horses, making from 5,000 to
6,000 horsemen. The KING, according to this account,
is commander-in-chief. CHZRONOWSKI is major-
general, assuming the responsibility of the military
operations ; General LAMARMORA is chief of the staff,
and General CossaTo second ; General Rossi com-
mands the artillery, Colonel ALBERTI the engineers.
There is a park of siege artillery, composed of 80
pieces of heavy calibre."
From this it appears that the Piedmontese army
has its left wing at Novarra, its right at Voghera,
and its centre and reserve at Alessandria and Casale.
The Austrian army in Italy is composed of 105,000
troops and 190 pieces of artillery, but, as it is divided
into two divisions, it does not appear that Marshal
RADETZKY has more than 50,000 men directly avail-
able against the Piedmontese. RADETZKY'S army
has its right at Magenta, its centre, with a part of
its left, at Pavia, and the rest of its left at Piacenza.
It is rumoured that the Austrians have been driven
out of Piacenza, as well as out of Parma,
but the report needs confirmation. It is certain,
however, that they have been driven out of Modena,
and that the GRAND DUKE has fled, and it is probable
that hostilities have commenced in the Roman
Legations. The following official announcement of
these facts appears in the Corriere Mercantile of
the 17th :

" Citizens of Leghorn, I hasten to transmit the follow-
ing dispatch, which I have just received:—
" The Duke of Modena has fled, leaving behind a
proclamation, in which he states the cause of his depar-
ture is the resumption of hostilities between Piedmont
and Austria. A loud cannonade is heard on the side of
Bologna. lam in conference with the envoys of Pied-
mont and Rome. The time has come—the people
must have but one will. Let them take up arms and
fight for their country. Victory is certain, tor a people
never dies.'

" GIIERRAZZI.

" Leghorn, March 17."
The latest intelligence received at Genoa on the
17th states that the Austrians were withdrawing their
troops on the left bank of the Po.
The Neapolitan Chambers were dissolved on the
13th.

The following is the official account of the sup-
pression of a reactionary emeute at Rome.
" Yesterday the law of the Republic was not re-
spected. Three commissioners, conformably with the
decrt c of the Assembly, having demanded of the heads
of the congregation of St. Philip, the delivery of certain
useless bells, they refused, not directly, but they dis-
played hypocritically the Holy Sacrament, as if to avert
a plague, and as if the religion of Christ depended on a
bell the more or less. By these means the said congre-
gationists succeeded in assembling round the establish.
ment a crowd, composed of the most uneducated part of
the people. _

" The commissioners, not wishing to employ force,
suspended their proceedings, thus giving a proof of the
prudence and humanity of the Republic in discharging
its duties.
" But the Roman people, indignant at this perfidious
and hypocritical act, determined that the law should be
respected, so i❑ the evening a large number of brave ci-
tizsas presented themselves at the said establishment to
demand that the decree of the Assembly should be exe-
cuted. No one answering their summons, and the gates
being barricaded inside, the people set fire to them, and
soon opened a passage. The authorities now interfered,
assisted by the National Guards and Carabineers, and
the fire was extinguished. On entering the house it
was found that the young priests had been confined and
chained by the old ones, and the former being liberated
rushed with eagerness into the arms of the citizens and
soldiers who had released them.

Finally, everything has been religiously respected
and the law upheld; the bells are in the power of the
Republic, except that of St. Philip, which has been left ;
but the sons of lying and malignity, who have endea-
voured to mislead the people, will be severely punished;
they are now in the hands of the Republic !
" Rome, March 11." " F. MEUCCI, Director.
The Minister of the Interior has issued a proclama-
tion, stating that the Government have no intention
of despoiling the churches of the necessary bells, they
only require the useless ones to be surrendered for the
public service.

Accounts from Bologna of the 13th state that a
loud cannonade was heard that day in the direction of
Piacenza.
The Ministry of Venice is composed of the Presi-
dent Manin, for Foreign Affairs ; Pesaro Manro-
ganato, Finance ; Calucci, Justice and Interior; Da
Conin, Public Worship; Graziani, Marine • and
Cavedalis, Minister of War. Citizen Milonopulo has
been appointed provisionally to the command of the
Navy.

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 28.—The Divan continues
to hold frequent sittings. We are assured that the
Porte has submitted to the Russian Cabinet the
project of a constitution for Moldavia and Wallachia,
with two Chambers; the president to be elected every
seven years, and the eligibility of every citizen to hold
that office. Whether Russia will give her consent is
dubious.
The Porte, however, continues warlike preparations,
and 40 men-of-war are already lying in the harbour
ready equipped.—llarnburgh Correspondent.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—We understand that her
Majesty has expressed her royal desire that Othello,
with the characters reversed, be performed this
(Friday) evening.

TIIE ARCTIC EPEDITION.—Prayers were offered
up in the parish and established churches at Woolwich,
on Sunday last, for the safety of the officers and crews
of the Erebus and Terror, discovery ships, which pro-
ceeded to the Arcti.: regions under Captain Sir John
Franklin and Captain Crozier.
OPENING OF THE SOUTH DEVON EXTENSION INTO
PLYMOUTH.—Experimental trips have been made dur-
ing the week by the directors and the engineer on the
now completed extension of the South Devon Railway
from Laira into Plymouth, the tunnel at Maley and
the station at Millbay baying been completed. The ex-
tension would have been completed eaalier had it not
been for difficulties in obtaining possession of the land,
and some slides of rock in the neighbourhood. It is to
be opened for permanent traffic on the 2d of April.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. i
CITY, QUARi ER TO THREE.
There weir a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and full prices paid. The sales were esti
mated at 600 bal-,s, and comprised about 5,000 A meri-
. earl et 4.:!. tr. 6c., 4:‘‘, E,,.-; T, ar :.' .51.1 ', '., al 1
300 Surats at 31-d. to 3-11 u. per lb.—The market for rail-
way shares opened firmly, but closed lower. with a large
amount of stock offering for sale.
The Mcney Market experiences no perceptible alte-
ration, and there is no complaint of tightness of dis-
counts. The employment for cash is, ou the contrary,
rather more limited.
The Grain Market is very flat this morning, the arri-
vals of foreign continuing large.
The arrivals this morning offer no colonial or foreign
news of particular interest.
The Produce Markets have not been very active this
week, but there is a larger number of sales in progress
to-day. Holders generally are firm, and it the stale of
business is for the most part duller on account of
Continent al affairs, they still seem to hope for something
favourable ere long. The merchants connected with the
German trade are confidently asserting that the Danish
question is settled; but we find nothing more authentic
on the subject than what has already appeared in print.
The English Stock Market opened with an improving
appearance, in consequence of Lord Palmerston's ex-
planations concerning the Moldavian affair, but the
Bears have again operated, and a partial reaction has
occurred. Consols were 911 i for Transfer, and 91i i
for Account, but have been since done at 91 for money,
and 91k for time. The last bargains reported to us have
been at 91k i, and 914 i. Exchequer-bills have been
38s. to 41s. premium, and India Bonds 51s. The price
of Bank Stock for Account has improved to 198.
In the foreign house the transactions have been more
restricted. Mexican Bonds have been 33 to i for Account,
and since 314 to 31k. Peruvian have been 61 to 62.
Grenada Deferred are 3i ; Equador, 3 ; and Buenos
Ayres for account, 39. Brazil Stock has been at 83.
Danish Scrip is up to 6k premium. Spanish Five per
Cents. are 164 to 17, and the Three per Cents. 30 to k.
In Railway Shares the transactions have been limited,
and the quotations generally exhibit very little alte-
ration.
