BELGIUM.

The 19th anniversary of the Belgian revolution was
celebrated on Sunday and Monday with the usual
pomp and popular rejoicings. In the course of the
day the first stone of a Cit 4 Ouvriere was laid by the
Minister of the Interior.

The King of the BELGIANS, on the occasion of his
visit to Antwerp, sent 5,000 f. to the poor.

ITALY.

The Nazionale of Florence has advices from Rome
up to the 16th. The French had sent 19 pieces of
ordnance to Civita Castellana. They were actively
engaged in repairing the walls on the side of the
Porta San Pancrazto. Thousands of workmen are
employed there. Large quantities of pozzolane
are being conveyed night and day to Civita Vecchia,
for the purposes of fortification. Early on the 16th.
General ROSTOLAN summoned all the officers of the
French army to attend a Council of War, in con-
sequence of the arrival of a courier from France. It
is said the French will occupy Spoleto, Fermo, and
Falingo, and the Spaniards will retire. A person
from Castello arrived at Florence on the 18th, and
stated that the French had just occupied the former
place at the moment of his departure. A rumour
was current that the Frencli had occupied Perugia,
and that the Austrians had.eitieuated Ancona.
The Statuto of Florence' publishes a letter from
Rome of the 16th, horn which we glean the follow-
ing passages :
" No step has yet been taken on the part of French
diplomacy. Rostolan, after having threatened to post
up the famous letter at every street corner, has done
nothing. If you saw how delighted the abt As are every
time they check-mate the French! The day before yes-
terday they had given precise orders to Ahh4 Coppi, di-
rector of the official journal, to close the office rather
than allow his Holiness's presses to be profaned. A
rumour is current that the French intend to resume the
administration of the state, but few give credence
to it. The proscription .of the deputies is inexorably
pursued. Audinot, Pedrini, Betti, Cristofori, who risked
their lives to stem.the revolutionary torrent are of the
number. Even the celebrated professor Pasquale De
Rossi, late Minister of Grace and Justice under
Mamiani, and afterwards- in - the Xabbri Cabinet, De
Rossi, who purposely accepted his electiOn to the Con-
stituent Assembly, in order to protest viva voee
against the dethronement of the Pope, and
who resigned as soon as that • act was passed,
and still later refused to adhere, even he has
been condemned to exile !—Calandrelli, the late
commander pf the Roman artillery, on being ordered
to leave the State, has answered that he is a Roman
and a soldier, aid that he consequently has a right to
be shot itt Rome. A functionary lately applied to the
three Cardinals, to be maintained in his office which he
had obtained by a rescript of Pius IX. One of the
triumvirs answered him with a sneer, 'Pius IX. used to
make rescripta very easily; we should have enough to do,
were we to observe them all!' "
The Milan Gazette announces that the Grand Duke
of TUSCANY passed through Bologna on the 16th,
under the name of the Count of PITIGLIANO.

Mx. AND M. CHARLES KEAN.—These popular
artists have been performing at Portsmouth with ex-
traordinary success. The houses have been so crowded
that the management converted the pit into stalls, all of
which were instantly let at box prices. Mr. and Mrs.
Kean will shortly appear at the Haymarket Theatre,
but have previous engagements in Southampton and
Brighton.

THE HOP DUTY.—We (Rochester Gazette) un-
derstand that Mr. Hodges has received a letter from
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, appointit g to receive
a deputation of the Kent and Sussex hop planters in
Downing-street on Friday next, at one o'clock, to pre-
SE nt the numerous memorials for the postponement of
both moietieaof the duty for 1848, coming due in Oc-
tober and November next. This was communicated to
the committee of Kent and Sussex planters by Mr.
Hodgt sat a meeting of the committee on Monday last
at Staplehurst.
THE WEATHER.—Since our last, the weather has
generally been fine anti warm during the day, although
the mornings and evenings have inclined towards fog and
cold. Some rain fell early on Saturday morning, and
there was a rather fresh breeze from the east during the
day. At noon on Saturday, and again on Monday, the
temperature reached 63 degrees; the minimum temper- ' ,
ature was on Sunday night, when it fell as low as 49
degreez.—Arandester Guardian.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverrool yesterday was dull,
and closed heavily. The sales Occluding 1,000 for ex-
port) amounted to about 5,000 bales, and comprised
4,000 American at 4id. to 61d., 300 Perlman and PrJaren-
haus at 50. to 51d.; 350 Bahia at S:IJ. to 5-'d., and 200
Surat at 4d. to 4kd. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a
moderate business was done.
A further reference to the letters received by the over-
land mail, shows that both in Ceylon and the Mau-
ritius, two colonies that most suffered by the commercial
crisis, affairs are brightening. The value of coffee estates
in the former was, however, most ruinously depressed,
and.one instance is cited where a plantation, upon which
6,0001. had been expended, was put up, and one third
share realised only 221. The advanced price of coffee in
the home market will, however, materially assist the
Ceylon growers and mereants. The Labuan settle.
ment is stated to be getting on rather slowly, and what
Mr. Cobden asserted as to the inexpediency of :a large
staff of officials where there wasno trade, is being already
exemplifie d.
Under date of the 3lst ultimo we have accounts frem
the West India island St. Thomas. The writer states—
" All kinds of business are quite dull here at present,
owing to its being the hurricane reason. It will so
continue till the end of October, when we expect a
brisk trade. The coffee and sugar crops at Porto Rio
were never so promising as they are this serfsQn. There
have been but few American vessels at this pcirt
St. Thomas is, beautifully situated on three hills, and
contains a population of twenty thousand, four•firth‘
of whom are black. There is quite an extensivow,busi--
ness done here in the course of the year,. the imports
amounting ~to about 12,000,000 dolls. Most of the
goods that arrive here are entered for exportation, arid
are sold to the adjacent islands and the Spanish main.
The houses are mostly built of yellow stone, and are
quite open. The climate is delightful, and we always
have a fine cool breeze; but from ten, A.M., to three,
Rat., the
.sun is very hot. The society in St. Thomas
is very good."
Steps are being taken by the Government for the in-
troduction of Europeon emigrants. We read the fol-
lowing official notice in tee Martinique papers:
" In conformity to a recent dispatch from the Minister
of Marine and the Colonies, a credit of 100,000 francs
has been allowed in the budget for the service of 1849,
to facilitate European immigration to the colonies.
This credit is to be employed under the conditions
laid down in the law of 19th July, 1845, which requires
a contract to be previously entered into between
the immigrant and the proprietor ; preference to
be given to those engagements which tend to encourage
the migration of families and companies of workmen.
The Government will allow expense of passage, at the
Irate of 250 francs for adults, and 150 francs for children,
out of which 50 francs will be given to the immigrants
and the residue to the contractors, so soon as they shall
have completed all the necessary arising, meats for the
voyage. The Administration hastens to give publicity
to these arrangements, which, however, should be con-
sidered as only temporary, the marine department being
occupied upon a combined plan to be introduced on this
important question."
It is satisfactory to find that the insurrection in
Venezuela is effectually crushed, awe-that all the
leaders of any note bare surrendered, because whatever
.may have been the right, or wrong of the case, and we
believe that General Paz stands high in his country,
the prevalence of civil war cannot but be injurious in
eveTryherespect.
Continental advices to hand this morning bring
us the following quotations :--Frankfort 88} for Aus-
trian bonds, and Vienna 86i for the Metallics. A good
deal was doing in the riew loan, not only in that city
but in German towneyand the Russian Government was
stated to have subscribtitfor two millions sterling. The
loan for 30,000,000 livres on behalf of Tuscany is ex-
pected to be taken in Holland.
Referring to the above paragraph, we may reasonably
say a few words in reference to the letter of Mr. Cobden
upon the Subject of foreign loans, a matter affecting,
no doubt,!the public at large, but coming entirely
home to City men. It may be thought that Mr.
Cobden's warning against participation in the AcasTrian
loan is unneeded, but let any one refer to the ap-
parent favotfr;With which the stock is being taken up
abroad, and we believe there is every reasgp to credit
the assertions to that effect, and ask himself, whether
he supposes our great firms here have nut co-ope-
rated ? If there have been no books opened to re-
ceive spbscriptions, we are quite satisfied that for
themselves and friends some houses here are taking
rather considerable amounts of the new loan; and when we
bear in mind that during the present year 20,000,0001
are expected to be required by the various European
Governments, it will be clear to any disinterested party
that there is danger, and that Mr. Cobden's anti-loan
movement may be really beneficial.
In the English Securities there is very little doing
this morning. Consols have been 92i for Transfer,
and 924 k for Account, with a firm tone. Exchequer-
bills have been 35 to 38; and India Bonds 71 to 74
premium.
In the Foreign market, business has been very re-
stricted. Mexican have been quoted 27i, and Spanish
Five per Cents, have ranged from 17 to f. Dutch Two.
and-a-I-lalf per Cents, have been 53i, and the Four per
Cents. fil-q to 85k.
Although less business is doing in Railway Shares,
prices have hardened again. North-Western aro nearly
11. bitter than yesterday; and Great Western have
undergone n similar improvement. Midland are los. to
cleorcr, and Y. irk and North Midland aro
better. South-Eastern and Eastern Counties arc much
the same. Small-Western aro a little flatter. North
Stafford firmer.
In making up the tabular statement of railway traffic,
given under this head a day or two sine', we emitted to
state that the Great Western receipts were this year
exclusive of the Bristol and Exeter takings. We had at
the moment no account before us concerning the last-
mention( d railway, but intended to mention the fact,
and a correspondent now states that the average re-
ceipts of the Bristol and Exeter up to the Ist May,
1819, were upwards of 4,0001. weekly, while a
shareholder writes that were they added, there
would be an increase shown on the Great Western
traffic. It seems really a pity that in the official weekly
comparisons
