ITALY.

The reaction is triumphant at Florence, and the
latest news from Leghorn announces the embarkation
of the Republican Chiefs, and the approach of the
Tuscan reactionary troops to that city.
AVEZZANA has arrived in Rome, for which city the
Legion of GARIBALDI is in full march, to protect
it against the French. Should the French enter
Rome, the Provisional Government will retire to
Ancona.

The Sardinian fleet is in the Venetian waters.

SICILY.

The News from Naples is that. the Government of
palermo has offered to surrender on such terms as
Admiral BAUDIN can procure for them. We do not
believe a word of this intelligence. It comes from
Naples, a most suspicious source, and it speaks of
Admiral BAUDIN as though he were at Palermo, the
fact being that Admiral BAUDIN is at Ajaccio.

THE RAILWAY VIADUCT.— The extension of the
line of the Dundee and Perth Railway to the General
Terminus by a viaduct behind Marshal-place is now in
active progress in three or four different I laces. The
masonry for sustaining the arches—which will likely be
iron ones—aercss James-street and Scott-street, as well
as the retaining walls of the embankment or mound
betwixt these localities, are already nearly finished; and
on other portions of the ground, even within Mr.
Mount's old wood-yard, the work goes on rapidly. With
the same rate at which the job is presently pushed,
there can be little doubt that, by the end of summer,
the whole . of the Dundee and, Perth line will be com-
plete from
vertiscr. the ode end to the other--Perthshire Ad-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market eit Liverpool yesterday was
steady, and prices were firm. The sales were 6,000
lisle's. 500 of which were taken on speculation. Rail-
way Shares were in less demand, at rather lower prices.
The report upon the affairs of the Eastern Counties
Railway corroborates the outline given yesterday under
this head, and we have only to add that the statement
excites unusual interest, and lively discussion, although
the condition of the market does not indicate this, the
fall as yet being only 10s. per share; ina-much as the
mere speculators have already sold to a sufficient extent,
and the report has not been out sufficiently long to
judge of the course that will be pursued by the public,
in sending in their shares for sale. It would appear that
at least half a million sterling, in addition to the exist-
ing capital, must be raised in order to complete the
branch lines, and compete with the Great Northern, and
that last liabilities will have to be cleared off before the
capital account can be made up. 'Aced this latter
task will occupy the parties appointed during the
next month or two. Provision must be made
to relay parts of the line within the next
two years, and this will either trench uron
dividt ude, upoii tresh ea; ital, or upon new leans. A
balance of less than 7,000/. remains over from last hell
year's takinss, and meny extra expense's must be met
this half year, so that upon the whole" the prospect is
exceedingly discouraging.
There are later advices from New York, and they
again iJlude to an easier state of the Money market,
partly in anticipation of Lullion receipts from Europe.
The markets for produce are drooping.
The Hamburgh mail, just arrived, advises no alte-
ration on Tuesday last in the rate of exchange on Lon-
don, or in the value of money. The blockade by the
Danish ships was becoming more effectual at the different
German ports.
The second report of the Leipsic fair is favourable. A
large number of buyers were present, and they seemed
disposed to operate freely, though with some caution.
Zollverein fabrics seemed relatively to have rather a bit-
ter sale than English piece goods. Perhaps on the
whole it may be said that the fair was scarcely so active
as had been expected.
The Amsterdam Bourse on Wednesday was without
any marked alteration. Spanish Bonds were more
offered.
The further information contained in the Mexican
correspondence sent by Mr. W. Parish Robertson, will
be exceedingly gratifying to the bondholders, and really
justifies the hope that the stock, at a fair price, will be-
come an eligible security for the investment of a portion of
surplus means, where parties are blessed with more than
they can well employ. The establishment of a National
Bank is one great object to be accomplished, and
Messrs. Schneider are requested to make exer-
tions to pay a whole dividend, and which no
dou'st they shortly will do. The Government of Mexico
has presented a project of law stipulating that the bud-
get shall be reformed, that the annual expenditure shall
not exceed 7,000,000 dollars, that the debt shall not be
augmented, nor the interest capitalised, and that the
United States' indemnity money and other resources
shall be placed at the disposal of a board of credit, to
carry out the contemplated objects. Such a disposition
to be honest has for a long time not been exhibited by
any foreign state.
The Funds are very steady to day, with rather less
money business doing. Consols have been 92 to 92k,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market during the present week, as well as fresh up to-
day, have been very moderate, they have exceeded the
demand. The show of samples of bo'h red and white
this morning was small; yet, as the country markets
come lower, and the weather has become more season•
able, the demand for all descliptiors was heavy, sit a
fall in the pi ices Alouday of from is to 2s lr r gum ter,
without th cling a clearanc,, The tot4l import or
fore.gn 11 i.eat has built uniy 7,590 quarters,
from the Baltic. All kinds were a very dull inquiry,
and the quotations receded Is to 2s per quar-
ter. In floating cargoes, scarcely a transaction took place.
The finest Saale Barley moved off steadily ut full prices.
Grinding anti distilling sorts w (re somewhat easier to
purchase. In Malt very few sales took place. In its
value, however, we have no change to notice. Oats, the
supply of which was short, moved off slowly at late
rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour dull, at
barely stationary prices.
