ITALY.

Accounts from Portici state that the POPE has
decided to expedite the promulgation of the organic
laws announced in the mote proprio, and to extend
the too narrow limits of the amnesty.
His HOLINESS left Naples on the 30th ult. for Be-
nevento.

The Legge of Turin quotes a letter from Rome, of
the 29th ult., in which it is said that Cardinals BER-
NETTI and LAMBRUCHINI are shortly to replace
Cardinals DELLA GENOA. and VANICELLI in the
Commission of Cardinals. Count PIETRO FERRETTI,
who had made his escape from Naples, has arrived at
Ancona. it was again rumoured that the POPE
would return to Rome in the beginning of next
month. An order of the day of the 28th has
announced to the Roman troops that they are no
longer under the command of the French military
authorities.

On the 28th ult. General ROSTOLAN, Commander.
in-Chief of the French troops at Rome, held a grand
review on the plains of Acqua Acetosa. The troops
present at this review consisted of 22 battalions,
8 squadrons of cavalry, and 4 batteries,

The Constituzionaleof Florence states from Bo-
logna, 29th ult., that the military authorities have
been obliged to distribute arms to the country people,
that they may defend themselves against the robbers
who infest the country.
The Turin journals of the 3d confirm the intelli-
gence of the resignation of General BAYA. They
generally concur in saying that this resignation is
owing to a difference of opinion existing between the
late Minister of War and the Superior Commission for
the re-organization of the army, and is of no political
importance.
The Opinione of Turin of the 3d states that
General LAMARMORA is spoken of as the probable
successor of General BAVA to the Ministry of War,
and that M. PALEOCAPA is likely to accept the port-
folio of Public Works.

The Risorgimento of Turin states that the King
of SARDINIA has sent one of his aides-de-camp to pay
a visit to General PETE in his name.

A letter from Naples of the 30th ult. says—
" Arrests, which for a moment were suspended, have
again begun here, without any one being able to explain
the cause. There is certainly danger, even at Naples,
in proceeding with measures as abrupt as rigorous, with-
out taking the precaution of putting forward some pre-
text for them. The society of Jesuits has been solemnly
and officially installed here, and the effects of it have
been already felt ; a royal decree, dated the 27th, has
just been promulgated, which enacts that in future
every tutor, whether public or private, male or female,
whatever may be the nature ot the instruction given,
sciences, letters, languages, or fine arts, must be pro-
vided with an authorization from the King, another
from the University, and undergo a written examina-
tion on the great catechism of the Christian religion,
and must, moreover, answer before the members of the
Faculty of Theology to questions on the special points
of his instruction, which regard religion. The decree
seys in express terms that this examination shall even
be required from masters who teach writing and reading,
and from the professors of foreign languages and
drawing. An indication not less certain of
i the re-
appearance of the celebrated society, and of its influence
in the councils of the King, is visible at the theatre; the
female dancers have resumed the green drawers which
they had laid aside last year when the Constitution was
preclaimed, and an order has been given that they are
to avoid anything red in their costumes, the mixture of
the red and green with the white of their petticoats
having the inconvenience cf calling to mind the trico-
lour flag of Italian independence."

nONEY and COMMERCIAL -SEW.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday specu-
lators operated to a large extent, say 10,000 bales—th«
sales for the day being 20,000 bales. Compared with
Friday's rates prices were td per lb. dearer for nearly
all descriptions.—Railway Shares were worse, and lower
prices were taken. _

- In the markets which regulate the Corn Averages
for the Kingdom, the quantity of Wheat sold during
the week to Saturday last was 100,427 quarters.
The Flanders mail has not yet arrived, and there are
no later ship arrivals.
The project for a railway to the Pacific has been
taken up as none but Americans would take it up, viz,
in a spirit of enthusiasm. At St. Louis a convention
has been held, at which a resolution was introduced
calling upon Congress to act promptly in regard to the
Pacific Railroad, and other interesting proceedings took
place, of which we may give an outline. A letter was
read from Colonel Fremont, requesting the Convention
not to designate any route across the Rocky Mountains.
He believed the pass between the head of the Arkansas
and the Rio del Norte the most practicable and nearest
to the Pacific. General Persif or F. Smith has sent an
exploring party, with a view to report before the termina-
tion of the next Congress. Mr. Benton dwelt
long and eloquently on the importance and nationality of
the road. Four hundred and sixty-five delegates were
present, of whom seventeen were from Missouri, three
from Pennsylvania, twenty-five from New York, thirteen
from Ohio, thirty-one from Tenessee, three from Indiana,
two hundred and sixty-four from Kentucky, forty-seven
from Illinois, three from lowa, and five from Michigan.
A delegate from Louisiana offered a resolution, which
was passed, that a committee of one be appointed from
each State, to draft a memorial to Congress, in which
should be presented the objects designed by the Conven-
tion. Judge Birch here presented a resolution, recom-
mending 48 degrees as the parallel of latitude for the
best route for the railroad. The Committee ,on
Resolutions reported a series of resolutions for
consideration, setting forth the object and spirit
of the convention as truly national, and observing
neither party, sectional, or local interests, and recom-
mending Congress to make immediate provision for the
construction of a great trunk road to the Pacific, in
California, with a branch to Oregon, from acme point
on the Mississippi, or frontier, as may be found eligible.
All the eastern lines now tending towards the west may
be considered parts of the same. Also, that Congress
establish military posts for the protection of settlers and
emigrants, and that grants of land be made encouraging
population, and that Congress be memorialised to con-
struct a telegraph on the road, and that a committee of
five be appointed to prepare and publish an address to
the people of the Union, urging them to procure the
action of Congress. The Hon. J. W. Thompson, of Indiana,
addressed the convention in an able and eloquent manner,
and offered,the following amendment:—" That the grand
trunk railroad be constructed with branches to St. Louis,
Memphis, and Chicago, and that a committee of fifty
be sent to the Memphis Convention, requesting tho co-
loperation of that body."
The report of the topographicalengineers, as to the
various routes for the railroad, was referred to a com-
mittee. Some parties were in favour of a resolution
being introduced, that Congress should be memorialized
to favour the immediate commencement of the road, at a
point west of the organized states, to be continued to
San Francisco, but this was opposed, and it was said that
the road west of the organized states would be com-
pleted within ten years. The Convention: ultimately
adjourned after adopting a resolution to re-assemble at
Philadelphia on the lst April next, to resume the consi-
deration of the subject.-
Guadeloupe papers of September 26 have come to hand,
and the following are extracts :
" The colony enjoys a perfect calm at present, thanks
to the energy of the Governor. The President of the
Court of Appeals and the Commissary of Police,
Messrs. Hardoin and Babeau, had been called to France
to give an account of their conduct. They both belonged
to the Socialist party. Everything has been re or-
ganized on the European system again, under the pro-
tection of France. Five hundred francs of indemnity
for each slave was the sum fixed upon to be given to the
planters.
" We see that 14,790,334 kilogrammes of sugar had
been exported on the Ist September. The harvest was
ended, but the produce was less by one-half than in
I former years. _ _

" The Administration is actively engaged in the es•
tablishment of places of asylum, or, rather, of civil
hospitals, for the sick, the miserable, and the aged, who
are now as thick as blackberries at Guadaloupe ever
since the emancipation of the slaves. The object in-
tended to be attained, if possible, is to prevent mendicity,
which would otherwise become the pest of the colony.
One of these hospitals has been established at Daulle;
the situation of the other, which it was desired to place
at Grande Terre, is not yet decided upon."
The exportations from this colony havo been, from
January Ist to September Ist, 1848 and 1649, as
follows:

1849. 1848.
Clayed sugars 226 kil. 403 kil.
Raw sugars 14,790,334,50 „ 25,707,583 „

Lloyd's Subcription Rooms and 9 offices will be closed
on Thursday next, and no doubt the North and South
American and other places of resort and business will
follow the example.

and also Caledonian. Midland and South-Eastern
much the same, and North Stafford a trifle better.
Namur and Liege are higher, and Orleans and Bordeaux
flatter, as well as Sambre and Meuse.,

A Pox AUNT IN NEWCASTLE.—A few days ago A
fine fox was observed running about near the copperas
works of Mr. Hunter, Ouseburn. The manager, Mr-
Robert Rutherford, set a terrier after reynard, who soon
took refuge under one of the fireplaces of the factory,
where it was pursued by the dog and speedily drawn
forth. As soon as it appeared, Mr. Rutherford at-
tacked and killed the intruder with a shovel which he
had in his hand. It had all the appearance of a wild
animal; but how it ventured into a densely populated
place like Ouseburn, seems curious.—Neweastle Guar-
dian.
