ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette states from Rome, 11th inst.,
that the Pontifical army is at present reduced to
three regiments of two battalions each of infantry,
and one regiment of cavalry of six squadrons.
Foreign officers, of whatever rank they held in
the Pontifical army, are not to be re-admitted
to the service, unless they• have resided three
years in the state. Those officers who have re-
ceived employments at the hands of Cardinal Amat,
and Generals Durrando, Zucchi, Ferrari, and Pepe
are also excluded, their right being, however, sub-
mitted to examination. The discipline of the French
soldiers is excellent; they sleep in the open air
without a murmur. At the hour of their repasts the
barracks are besieged with poor, with whom the
French willingly share their rations. The deputy of
Imola, M. Faella, has been arrested ; the reason of
his arrest is not known.

The Veterano of Naples publishes the speech of his
Holiness addressed to the clergy in the Archbishop's
palace at Naples, previous to his imparting his bene-
diction to that body :
" On the 26th of November of last year I axed my
abode in company with the most pious of Sovereigns and
his august spouse, on a rock which still preserves the
pious traditon of the miracles that took place at the
moment when Jesus Christ expired on Golgotha,
thus destroying by his most precious blood the ben-
tence of our eternal c.mdemnation ; on that day, pros •
treed before an image of the crucifix, nay more, Wore
the most august sacrament, I pray ed that peace might
be granted to the sovereign who accompanied me, and I
also implored a blessing upon you, my beloved children,
of every order. I th. n was u•:conscious of the decrees of
Providence which were to be accomplished upon me;
I did not know that I should come i❑ per-
son among you, and again shed my blessing upon
you. I therefore implore this benediction upon you,
and especially upon the younger members of the clergy,
that you, my beloved children, may know the duties of
your station. The people who, more than ever in-
volved in darkness which is becoming more dense from
day to day, rt quire a light to guide them in order to
perceive the snares laid for them every instant, arid to
see in you their guide; be you indeed their guide by
your example, your words, and your charity. My
beloved children, study carefully the dangers annexed
to your state in order to avoid them ; and you will
learn to study aid avoid them, if you attend to all that is
so often repeated to you in the place of your ecclesiastical
education. A blessing, then, upon your souls, which,
created after the image of God, wi:l be, I trust, the copy
of the divine original, Jesus Christ. Blessed be your
studies, your prayers, all your actions. With this inten-
tion, thee, I give you the Pontifical benediction, and do
you receive it prostrate."

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 21.)

SUGAR.—To-day full rates were obtained fur all sorts
of West India, and a fair business was concluded in
both grocery and refining kinds. At public sale 120
hhds Barbadoes realised 38s 6d to 40) for mid to fine
yellow. The purchases amounted to 410, making for
the week 2,890 hhds, &c. Prices close the same as on
Feiday last., and with firmness.
REFINED.—To -day there was an improved demand for
Refined goods for home trade purposes, and prices were
firm; brown lumps 48s and fair grocery 48s 6d to 495.
In the value of Bonded Crushed there is no variation
and little business was done.
MAUBITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in
steady request, and a public sale of 1,197 bags and 365
casks went at full terms; low and mid brown at 29s to
33s 6d, good and fine 345 to 365, fine yellow 39s 6d to
40s, and ord to good 36s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a good demand ex-
isted for Bengal Sugar, and the public sales of 3,979
begs went off at full rates; low and middling white
Benares 38s 6d to 40s, good to five 40s 6d to 425, yel-
low like Mauritius 37s 6d to 40s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day the market was more freely:sup-
plied with Foreign Sugar. Of Havannah 5,331 chests
were offered at public sale; sound was nearly all taken
in at full rates; low to good white at 25s to 295, brown
18s to 193 6d, yellow 19s 6d to 1249; but damaged sold,
white 23s to 255, yellow and brown 18s Gd to 225. Of
Bahia 500 pkgs were offered, when sound was taken in
at 17s Gd to 225 6d for yellow and brown, whilst da-
maged sold at 17s to 24s per cwt. Of St. Croix 156 hhds
163 barrels at public sale realised 42s to 428 6d for fine
yellow, and good 40s to 41s per era.
MOLASSES.—The market is firm for West India, and
sales to a fair extent have been made at 15s Gd to 18s for
low to fine. There is a less amount on offer than in the
former week. The value of East India Treacle is 15s
to 15s 6d, with a firm market, and a more active demand
has been experienced.
Cocos.—West India is not offered at any further re-
duction. At public sale 41 barrels 526 bags Trinidad, 61
begs St. Lucia, and 22 barrels Dominica have been
offered, but nearly the whole was withdrawn, and the
market has a dull aspect, whilst further parcels have been
imported. There are few buyers of Foreign, and sellers
are ready to accept 25s to 28s per cwt according to quality.
TEA.—The operations here this week have been al-
most confined to the public sales which have consisted
of 35,000 pkgs, of this quantity about 11,000 comprised
green Tea. The lower qualities of Congou went
off briskly, and at stiffer rates—common realised
9d to 9id, medium kinds 10d to Is 3d, and Com-
pany's Bid to 8:1d, but good and fine sorts meet
with little attention, and were nearly all taken in at
the previous currency. For young Hyson and Gun-
powder a good demand was experienced, still holders are
compelled to take former prices. The lower sorts of
Imperial from is to Is 3d have been largely dealt in, but
better sorts met a dull sale. Hyson attracted little at-
tendon, and the small part sold barely realised former
terms. The market for other sorts of Green Tea has
also presented a flat appearance, and the tendency of
prices is to recede.
COFFEE —This afternoon a fair business was con-
cluded in Native Ceylon Coffee by private treaty at 39:
6d to to 40s per cwt. Of Plantation 159 casks 676 bags
were offered at public sale, and sold at full rates; fine
went at 665, low middling and middling 53s to 58s 6d,
and other sorts 41s to 52s per cwt. The market for
Coffee has a firm aspect, and of home trade sorts the
supply is smaller.
RlCE.—Holders of Bengal have been desirous to realise
this week, and the market has been well supplied, whilst
the rates accepted have been 6d per cwt under those
current previously. At auction 9,084 bags were offered,
and rather more than half sold at and after the sal,. ;
pod white rather dusty at 9s to 9s 6d, mid ditto Ss
to 8s 6d, low 7s 6d to Bs, and damaged 5s to 8s
6d. By private treaty the purchases made have been
extremely limited. For Madras prices rule much the
same on this day week, but there are few buyers, and of
935 bags offered at auction a part only sold; pinky white
at 8s to 8s 6d, damaged 6s to 7s 6d, sound barley grain
Bs, and damaged 6: 6d to 7s per cwt. Cleaned Rice is
not so much sought after, still prices remain at 23s to
28s for town dressed Carolina, and at 12$ to 19s for Patna.
spoze,—Black pepra is ant offered at any reduction;
