ITAL Y.

The Ministers of England and France have given
notice to CBARLES ALBERT
,that if he recommence
hostilities against the Austrians they should demand
their passports.

The following manifesto has been published a
Rome :

" THE ROMAN REPUBLIC TO ALL NATIONS.

" THE CONSTITUENT ASSEDIBLY.

" A now nation presents itself to you to solicit and to
offer friendly feeling, respect, fraternity. The nation
that formerly was the most illustrious on the face of the
earth, presents itself to you as a new one. But between
the ancient grandeur and this resurrection the Papal
power stood for upwards of a thousand years. People
of Europe, we knew each other when the name of the
people of Rome inspired terror ; we have known each
other when our name excited pity. You may abhor the
memory of that age of dominion and violence, but you
cannot condemn us to excite for ever the pity of the
world. Which of you would wish to be pitied? The
people of the Roman State have determined to re-
form their political constitution, and have created a
Republic; and before this great act of the imprescripti-
ble sovereignty of the people, the past is destroyed and
vanishes. The people have willed it. Who is above the
people? God alone; but God created the people for
liberty. The people have willed it, and they need not
scekjustification for the past; their reason is anterior to
every human act. But, if we turn our eyes to the past,
we may with tranquillity contemplate the ruins of the
Papal power, much more so than the latter, when it con-
templated the ruins of our ancient political greatness.
The history of Italy was a tale of sorrow, and a large
portion of it was ascribed to the Papal power. And,
notwithstanding, when the Pope came forward and
placid the cross on the national banner, the world saw
that the Italians were ready to forget the faults of the
Holy See, and the revolution began in the name of
a Pope; but that was the touchstone of what a
Pope could or could not do. The predecessors of
the last Sovereign had been too cautious to attempt the
trial, and their power was measured only by the
misery entailed upon the people. The last Sovereign
was the first to risk the attempt, and wished to stop
when he discovered that he had revealed a terrible truth,
namely, the impotency of the Papal power to render the
Italian nation free, independent, and glorious; he wished
to withdraw from the work, but it was too late, for
Papacy had judged itself. It is hence that the down-
fall of Popery has been so near its glory; the glory of
the Papal power was the northern light that precedes
the darkness. We still hoped, but a system of reaction
was the answer that came from the Papal power. Re-
action fell; the Pope at first dissembled, saw the tran-
quillity of the people, and fled; and in his flight he bore
with him the certainty of exciting civil war; he violated
the political constitution, left us without a Government,
repelled the messengers of the people, fomented
discord, then threw himself into the arms of
the most ferocious enemy of Italy, and excommu-
nicated the people! These facts sufficiently show that
the Papal Sovereignty neither could, nor would,
modify itself, and nothing was left but to bear it or de-
stroy it. It was destroyed. If the liberality of kings,
or the toleration of nations, had placed the Papal power
in the city of the Scipios and Caesars, instead of in the
heart of France, or on the banks of the Danube or the
Thames, was that a reason for depriving the Italians of
all the rights common to nations—the country and li-
berty? And if it be true that the possession of a tem-
poral Sovereignty be necessary to the spiritual power of
the Pontificate, although it was not on such a condition
that Jesus Christ promised immortality to his Church,
was Rome then destined to become the patrimony of the
Pope, and be so for ever? Rome, the patrimony of a
Sovereignty, that to subsist was forced to oppress, and
to be glorious was forced to fall? And, as a patri-
mony of Papacy, was Rome to be the permanent
cause of the ruin of Italy? Rome, whose tradi-
tions, whose name, nay, whose ruins so loudly
speak of liberty and patriotism? Provoked and aban-
doned to ourselves, we have effected the revolution with-
out spilling a drop of blond—we have re-edified almost
without letting the sound of demolition be heard—we
have completely uprooted the sovereignty of the Popes,
after having patiently submitted to it for so many ages
—not from any hatred of Papacy, but from love of our
country. When a revolution has been effected with such
morality of purpose and means, it is at once proved diet
this people did not deserve to be under the sway of Papacy,
but was worthy of being its own master, worthy of the
Republic! It is worthy, therefore, of being admitted
into the great family of nations, and of obtaining your
friendship and esteem. The Roman Republic will bear
the stamp of its origin. It will m,,ke a free people de-
fend the religions independence of the Pontiff, to whom
the religion of a republican people will be worth more
than a few roods of territory. The Roman Republic
proposes to apply the laws of morality and universal
charity to the line of conduct it intends to follow, and to
the development of its political life.
" For the Assembly,
" The President, G. GALLETTI.
" Rome, March 2."

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in his court in the
Old Hall, Lincoln's lon.

EVANS V. PROTIIEROE.-JUDGNENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to day in this
case, the arguments in which were concluded on Wed-
nesday last. The case came before his Lordship upon
appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram,
who had ref❑sed to grant a new trial of an issue relating
to the ownership of a house in Wales. The contest,
which was a family one, turned upon the question whe-
ther the title under which the plaint ff claimed was a
legal one, by means of an assignment to one James Evans,
or only a permissive one. The jury at the trial found a
verdict in favour of the plaintiff, and th• defendant ap-
plied by motion to the court below for a new trial on the
ground that the verdict was against evidence. The Vice-
Chancellor Wigram refused to grant the new trial, and
from that decision the defendant appealled to this branch
of the Court. His Lordship, after going shortly into
the case, stated his opieio❑ to be that the defendant was
entitled to a new trial, thereby reversing the decision of
the Court below.

Judgment reversed and new trial granted.
The Court then proceeded to hear unopposed lunatic
petitions.

ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The Master of the Rolls heard causes to-day, but no
case of any interest except to the parties concerned came
before his Lord.hip during the morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
TWINING V. PO% ELL.
Mr. TOLLER said this was a petition of Miss Mary
Powell, one of the defendants, and several other persons,
to whom she had conveyed a piece of land for the put,
poses of an almshouse, which she had built and en-
dowed with a sum of 14,0001., at Bidswell, in Leicester-
shire. The object of the petition was that out of the
sum of 14,0001., standing in court, 6,000/. should be
appropriated to the purpose of endowing those alms-
houses. Elizabeth West, the testatrix in the cause, gave
all the residue of her real and personal estate to her
brother and niece, James Powell, and the petitioner,
Mary Powell, having previously given a legacy of 10,0001.
to a lady of the name of Lydia Moss, with a proviso
that should the said Lydia Moss and the petitioner,
Mary Powell, die and leave no children living at their
deaths, the property so left was to go in charity.
The case, on a previous day, came on for further
directions, and his Honour declared that the petitioner,
Mary Powell, her own right, or in right of the said
James Powell, deceased, was entitled absolutely to the
clear residuary estate, except the petitioner should die
without having a child living at her death; and that
one moiety (excluding certain property not pure per-
sonalty) would be applicable from that time to charita-
ble purposes. Then there was a reference to the Master,
and the Master made his report that 14,0001. odd, con-
sols, was the sum in question now to be disposed of,
under the provisions of the testatrix's will. Miss Mary
Powell, the petitioner, in the month of December, 1847,
executed a deed by which she conveyed some land in
the parish of Bidswell, in Leicestershire, to the other
petitioners, having previously built some almshouses on
that land. The short provision of the deed was, that
the trustees named in the deed were to have the nomi-
nation of the occupiers of those almshouses, subject to
Miss Powell's approbation, so long as she lived; and then
after her death the nomination was to be in the trustees
alone, two of the trustees, who were ex-officio, being the
clerg) men of the parish of Bidswell and the adjoining
parish. Miss Powell was now desirous of relinquishing
her interest in 6,0001., part of the 14,0001. Consols; pro-
vided that sum was to go to the permanent endowment
of the almshouses in question. That scheme had been
approved of by the Attorney-General.
His Hozsour. asked if the land was now officially
in mortmain, and if the charity was now fixed on the
land ?
Mr. TOLLER replied that the charity was now fixed
on the land. There were twelve persons who would
occupy the almshouses, and the income of the 6,000/.
would be MN. a year, exclusive of income-tax ; and it
was now proposed that the trustees should apply ss. a
week to the twelve occupants of the almshouses,
which would a mount to 656/. per annum, and it
was also proposed that the surplus should be re-
tained by the trustees to meet any contingent expenses

for repairs and so on. It was likewise proposed that
the trustees should be at liberty, if they found thore was
no innedi4te requisition for the surplus income to in-
crease the income of the occupants in the almshouses.
His IloNoun, thought if the pay of those almshouse
people was 3s. a wet k, and if they livt d rent free, that
was very good. He did not think there should be any
addition except in cases of illness, or special misfortune;
and his Honour granted the prayer of the petition.
The Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM did not Sit to-day.
(Before the Vice- Chancellor of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England was oc
cupied the whole morning with unopposed cause peti••
tions, short causes, and petitions.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 70 THREE.
There was a dull Maraet for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices were -id. lower than on Friday last.
The sales amounted to about 3,500 bales, including 500
for exportation.—Railway shares were dull, and very
little business was doing.
There are no arrivals with later intelligence from the
colonies or distant parts, but there is almost
exclusive attention paid to the continental ad-
vices. Scarcely, as it seems, can any one rightly
coma to a conclusion as to the quarter whence danger is
to be apprehended, fo,r if half the rumours to baud were
true, there would scarcely be any part where matters
could be said to look well. We must Le collected, how-
ever, in these times, and not foster that want of conti
deuce so detrimental to trade. Already the money
market is seriously agitated, and in business walks there
is a disposition to hold back until some definite news
transpires. This news an hour may bring forth.
A fair busii ess, circumstances considered, has been
done this week in the Produce Markets, but no derided
activity can be quoted in any article except Sugar, which
well supports its value.
The ratty of discount dces not vary to any extent, and
there is perhaps rather less demand for money than there
was a short time back.

The Corn Market continues i❑ a most depressed con.
dition, and sales are extremely difficult. Wheat has
ranged, for Essex white samples, from the low figure of
365. for very inferior, to 525. for the finest white.
Attention has very properly been called to a case of
considerable importance connected with the shares of
joint-stock companies, which, it is, perhaps, scarcely
known to one in a hundred persons, have
been held to be alternately real and at other
times personal property, a most serious state of
things to legatees and others, and one demanding a
prompt settlement.

The English Stocks have been materially influenced
by the heavy decline in the French Berites, although our
mi,rket did not sympathise much therewith when they
were so rapidly, and as most persons thought, unduly
advancing, It is reasonable even now to infer that
the Paris Bourse gives way more in consequence
of the arrangements for the settlement, and the
heaviness of the Bull account than from any other cause,
the Ita:ian news coming, nevertheless, in aid of the
speculators for a fall. As usual at such periods, it re.
quires great nerve to operate against the current of
opinion among the jobbers and dealers, and our own
Funds are nearly in the same position. To-day a B ull ac-
count, which bad been allowed to be carried over from
Tuesday last, had to be arranged, and thus, with-
out much dealing in money stock, there has
been a further marked re-action in prices.
The future course of the market now mainly depends
upon the foreign news, and according as it reads well or
the reverse will Bulls or Bears predominate. A
slight circumstance turns th© scale. Consols have
realised 90,i j for Transfer, and 901 to 91 for Account.
Later they have been done at 901 4, and at 90.,i Ex-
chequer-bills have been marked 40s. to 425. premium.
The Foreign Market is heavier. At Amsterdam, on
Thursday, there was a decline. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 15i to 16k; and the Three per Cents 284;
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 2011 Mexican are
28. A. to 274; Austrian have been 751; Dutch Two-and-a
Half per Cents. 484 to 491.
Railway Shares are lower, but there has not been
much doing. Among the holders of Irish Shares great
anxiety is manifested to learn what will be the nature of
the assistance granted by Government ; and the Dublin
and Belfast, it is again reported, will now receive a suffi-
cient advance to bring it to completion.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

During the present week the fresh arrivals of English
Wheat for our market, coastwise, has not exceeded 2,770
quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. By land-car-
riage the supply has been extremely limited. To-day
the stands were very scantily filled with samples, yet the
demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in
a very depressed state. To effect sales lower rates must
have been accepted by the factors. Upwards of 10,000
quarters of Wheat have come to hand. That article
met a very dull inquiry, and most descriptions might
have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The
sale for Barley was heavy, at barely Monday's currencies.
The foreign import has exceeded 5,000 quarters.
In Malt next to nothing doing, at almost nominal figures.
The supply of Oats was again small, neverthele►s the
demand for that grain was heavy at the late decline in
value. Beans, Peas, and all other articles were ex-
tremely dull.

Notwithstanding our market was very scantily sup•
plied with Beasts to-day, the total number not exceeding
556 head; the beef trade, owing to the thin attendance of
buyers, was in a very depressed state, and Monday's
quotations were with difficulty supported. The highest
figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per 81bs. Sheep, the
supply of which was small, met a dull inquiry, at
barely stationary prices, at which a clearance was not
effected. The few Lambs on offer were disposed
of at from 6s 8d to 7s per 81bs. Prime small Calves
produced last week's currencies. The middling and in-
ferior kinds of Veal had a downward tendency. There
was scarcely any inquiry for Pigs, at our quotations.
Mich Cows were heavy, at from 141 to 181 each, in-
cluding the small Calf.
