ITALY.

The Genoa Gazctte states from Rome, 28th ult.,
that General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS answers all those
who apply to him for redress, that he cannot meddle
with the acts of the Roman Government, and that the
object of his mission is limited to hastening the return
of the Pope to Rome. The General is anxious to
proceed to I'ortici as soon as the quarantine regula-
tions will allow him.

The Nazionale of Florence has advices from Bologna
of the 28th ult. All the professors of the University are
suspended from their functions: many functionaries
have been dismissed, and those who remain in office
do not get their salaries. A letter from Leghorn of
the 29th ult. in the same journal says that refugees
are constantly flawing in in consequence of the
amnesty. All the political prisoners comprised in the
amnesty have been released. By a decree of the
GRAND DUKE the Civic Guard of Gavorrano has been
dissolved. The quarantine for ships coming from
Elba is shortly to be taken off.
The accounts from Naples still dwell on the harsh
proceedings of the Government. It is said that a
flying column is moving through the Basilicate,
not to repress brigandage and seize assassins, but
to force the municipal authorities to sign the peti-
tion against the Constitution. The English Ambas-
sador is reported to be on very cold terms with the
Government.

RIVEIt PLATE.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
By the arrival of the William Pelle, in the
Mersey, we have received advices from Buenos
Ayres to the 7th October. They contain no political
news.

The market was glutted with English manufac-
tures, in consequence of numerous arrivals. Produce
was scarce, and shipping very abundant, and many
vessels leaving in ballast for Brazils.
Freights 40s. to 455. per ton for salted hides and
tallow, and 255. for bale goods. Exchange was
quoted at 635. ; doubloons, 2 SO dolls.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The cotton
market at Havre was yesterday somewhat less depressed
than on Wednesday, but the sales amounted to only 75
bales.

LYCEUM THEATRE. - The Beggar's Opera was
revived last night, and cast with attractive strength.
Madame Vestris resumed her old character of Lucy, and
Polly was sustained by Miss Rainforth, with whom the
management has entered into an engagement. This po-
pular English vocalist, who has not appeared upon the
metropolitan stage for a considerable time, was received
with a welcome that showed she has not been forgotten.
She sang with her accustomed ability, and was loudly
encored in the celebrated air " Cease your funning."
Mr. Rafter was the Captain Macheath, and acquitted
himself with respectable effect; and Mr. Harley repro-
duced some pleasant comic scenes as Filch. The house
was well attended,

MONEY and. COMMERCIAL NEW
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 hales, including 1.500 on spsculatien.
The transactions comprised 200 Brazil at 61d. to 61d.,
200 Egyptian at 7d. to 72d., and 300 Surat at 41d. to
411 per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done
at full
The arrivals of foreign Wheat returned to-day in
Mark -lane amount to 17,340 qrs.
In the Mincing• lane markets this week there has
been a moderate business done. The transactions can
hardly be called extensive, but they are mostly legi-
timate, and there is great firmness still in coffee,
Ceylon having the preference. Sugar has been rather
dull, though British Plantation has within the last two
days had a brisker sale. Rice is rather in favour. Cassia
Lignea has dropped materially after the late important rise,
and Cotton is heavy at d. per lb. decline. Wool at the
auctions supports the advance of Id. to lid. per lb. Tea
of the new crop has been in request. Upon the Metal
market we have the following monthly report from Mr.
W. Short, a broker :—lron—We have experienced an
improvement in Welsh bars. The stock in Wales being
exceedingly light, has induced dealers arid others to
come forward, and large purchases have been made from
makers at prices ranging from 41. 12s. 6/1. up to 51. per ton,
free on board in Wales. Most of the makers are now
asking Si. ss. per ton. Rails are firm at 54 to Si. 55..
according to section. Following the movement in Welsh
bars, Scotch pig-iron advanced to 48s. to 495. per ton
cash, for mixed numbers, free on board at Glasgow, but
the stocks in Scotland being large (the reverse of the
case with bars in Wales) no inducement was offered to
substantial buyers. and the advance has in consequence
not been sustained. The price may now be quoted 455.
to 465. per ton, mixed numbers of ordinary brands; 48s.
to 48s. 6d. No. 1, Gartsherrie. Staffordshire iron
has been in moderate request. Swedish iron and
keg steel aro held firm at quotations. Copper
is in fair demand, with prices firm as quoted.
Tin is in good demand. The price of English is firm,
and foreign has advanced a shade. Tin Plates are in
fair request, with prices on the advance. Lead has been
in much request, and an advance of full 10s. per ton has
beeps established. Spelter—Owing to the speculations at
Hamburgh the price of this article advanced, about the
middle of the month, to 15/. 15s. to 16/. per ton, with
considerable inquiry, but since then it has not been in
request, though holders are firm at my quotation of
151. 103. The stocks in warehouse at Ist instant were
3,930 tons, against 2,550 tons at same period last year.
Quicksilver has advanced to 3s. 4d. per lb.
The advices received to-day from Amsterdam state
that the Funds were very firm there. Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. 54 1-16, and Spanish Three per Cents.
28 11-16, being a further improvement. Peruvian and
Grenada Bonds were also rising.
At Frankfort, on the 4th instant, Austrian Bonds
were down to 84 for Money, and 841 for Account, with
a dull Bourse, owing to the non-arrival of the courier
from Vienna, detained by the heavy fall of snow.
Spanish Three per Cents. were 291 for Account.
At Hamburgh last Saturday, Spanish Three por
Cents opened tolerably firm, but declined a little subse-
quently, and other stocks were dull. The weather at
Dantzic on the 26th ult. was very severe, the cold being
at 12 degrees.
The following is a statement: of the week's railway
