ITALY.

Later intelligence has not arrived from Rome, but
further particulars up to the 24th ult. inclusively
have been received.

It appears that although the Romans were taken
by surprise by the assault on the 21st and 223 of
June, they managed to fire no less than between
600 and 700 cannon shot against their assailants.
The Italian journals contain accounts of the pro-
ceedings of the French, corresponding with the bul-
letins of General OUDINOT.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 27th,
again contains accounts from Civita Vecchia to the
effect, that the French had been repulsed and driven
hack from the walls to their original positions, and
that hostilities were suspended. It says that General
LEVAILLANT and other superior officers disagreed
with General OUDINOT, and that the latter gave the
order for the assault contrary to their advice. They
propose to change the assault into a blockade. Some
letters say that Ounizior had embarked on board a
steamer for France. The Corriere, however, also
says it has received other accounts that, though the
French have made no further progress, they yet
occupy the breaches, and were still at work erecting
their batteries on the 24th.
While the Paris Congitutionnel declares that " all
the Italian journals, even those that are the adversaries
of the French intervention, coincide in saying that,
but for the French having tried every means i❑ order
to avoid the injury of the Roman monuments and the
destruction of the oppressed population, Rome would
have long since been in their possession"—the
National describes the damage done by the French
artillery to some of the choicest frescoes of DomEm-
CHINO, and to the church of San Carlo at Catinari.

On the 21st ultimo the anniversary of the en-
thronisation of his Holiness Pope Pius IX.
was celebrated with extraordinary pomp at An-
cona. During the chanting of high mass in
the cathedral church of the Crucifix the great Pon-
tifical banner was hoisted on the citadel, and was
saluted by the artillery of the ramparts, and by the
Austrian vessels in the harbour. After the perform-
ance of the religious, there was a grand military,
ceremony, in the course of which M.lrshal WrurrrEN
distributed medals to those who had distinguished
themselves in the campaign, addressing them in eulo-
gistic language.

The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the death
of CHARLES ALBERT must be regarded as almost
certain, according to a letter of the Sardinian Consul
at Bayonne, dated the 21st ult. In consequence the
places of public amusement in Turin were closed,
and the I?isorgimento and Saggiatore were in
mourning. _ _

The Tuscan Monitor of the 24th ult. publishes the
following :—" At Padua a deputation is expected
from Venice to treat for the surrender of the city.
N. BE BRUCK, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, is also
expected at Padua."
Letters from Turin of the 27th ult. state that the
conclusion of a commercial league with Austria had
greatly alarmed the manufacturers of Turin, who
anticipated from such a measure the destruction of
the Piedmontese manufactures. The Government
had refused to accede to the exigencies cf Austria,
and the negotiations were interrupted.
The electoral colleges were to be convoked for the
16 h of July, whether peace were concluded or not.
The 17th and 18th Regiments of Infantry, which
were to have reinforced the garrison of Alessandria,
had been ordered to Piacenza, Parma, and Guastalla.
Another Sardinian corps would, it was believed, enter
Tuscany to maintain tranquillity in that country.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
I The soles of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 8,000 bales, including 6,000 American at 61/sel. to 6%d.,
eOO Pernam at 433 d. to 54d., 200 Bahia at sd. to 54d.,
lao Egyptian at 5/d. to 64d., and 100 Surats at 34d. to
41,-e d. per lb. Of the above 2,000 American were taken for
eaport and on speculation. The market closed very firm.
Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.
'There are important public sales of Wool announced for
the preesent week. In produce generally a suoderate busi-
nes is doing.
The ship,Columbus, arrived at Liverpool, brings advices of
June 4, from Pernambuco. On political affairs there is
nothing of particular interest, and the Brazilian provinces
wens again tranquillized. The exchange was 244. very few
shipments being in progress. Sugar was firm and freights
were low. There is no',hing definitive from the River Plate.
The Royal Mail steamer from the West Indies has arrived,
and does not bring favourable accounts from the colonies.
The letters are itot yet delivered. There is a bullion freight
of 270 300/., and this includes no less than • 300,000 dollars
from California.
&tle idea of the present state of Canada, and the embar-
rassment of _its finances, which unless remedied must bring
about a serious crisis, may be formed from the following par-
ticulars in a local journal received yesterday by the Eu-
ropa :—" In 1840, the debt of Lower Canada was 113,9751.,
we were saddled, it is true, with a debt of 1,271,7451. from
Upper Canada, but united, that of the whole province only
amounted to 1,385,72 Ce. The credit of Upper Canada was
at a very low ebb; the great works which were necessary
for the trade of the province were proceeding
very slowly; it owed nearly 900,000/. to England, and could
procure no snore advances. As soon as Lord Sydenham had
succeeded in uniting the two provinces, the Upper Canadians
lost no time in taking advantage cf our good credit to carry
on and further their public works; they received tenders for
macadamizing roads, building bridges, ports, canals,&c., of
immense cost and extent. Some idea may be formed of their
share in the budget, from the single item in this
year's return, the Welland Canal, being classed at
68,1551., about one-sixth of the whole expenses of
the province. Lower Canada continued after the
union as before, spending little, improving little ;
its credit, however, was, as may be imagined, considerably
impaired by the increased expenditure of the whole pro-
vince. The interest of the public debt of Canada is to day,
according to Mr. Ilincks, 200,000/.; the whole expenditure
of the province was for the year 1848, and will probably
exceed in 1849, 414,177/. ; total, 614,1771. ; against which
the revenue return of last year presents a sum of only
379,7451. 7s. Bd. The annual deficit, even supposing that
notwithstanding the free trade policy of England, Mr.
Hincks' tariff, and local agitation, commerce remains still
as prosperous as before, will be upwards of 200,0001. Thus
the capital of the debt will go on increasing in a very
rapie ratio. To pay the interest, the Government will be
obliged to issue debentures, on a perfect railroad scale ; for
some years yet to come no other available source of con-
siderable revenue will present itself. At what discount de-
bentures may be current we cannot, of course, now foresee,
but any intelligent person will perceive that they will only
be received at a heavy loss in England, where the Whigs
call us bankrupts' and the Tories think us on the point of
annexation. In Canada, if trade continues to decrease in the
ratio it has done fur the two last years, their value will be
positively nominal. Canada Debentures will be placed on
the same par as the Pennsylvania Bonds, and well will
it be for the province if the disgraceful word repudiation be
never pronounced in our Legislative Halls."
There is evidently work here for the Legislature, and
some speedy action should take plack in the matter.
The polling in favour of Baron Rothschild goes on so tri-
umphantly that there is a feeling of ridicule attached to the
efforts of his opponents.
At the London Dock meeting to-day, the usual dividend of
2% per cent. for the half-year was declared, and a very fa-
vourable statement was made of the business of the com-
pany. The new wool warehouses, which will allow of 8,000
hales being shown for public sale, are already nearly full, al-
though not long since completed. 'The dividend will be paid
on the 10th inst.
The Colonial Bank proprietors have also had their meet-
ing this morning, and a dividend of one per cent. for the
half-year Las been declared. The profits have diminished,
owing to the increased caution exercised by the directors, but
the business is sounder.
The English Funds have remained comparatively dull, and
the report of a renewed complication of the Roman affair, and
the recal of General Oudinot, has some effect. ' Consols have
been 913:1 to 91%. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.

Bank Stock is about 194 to 195. Exchequer-bills have

The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, being marked
33 to 4 for Spanish Three per Cents., 28 a to i for
Mexican, 291/8 to 291/, for Portuguese Four per Cents., and
80 for Brazilian. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 50 to 506 ex. dividend.
Railway Shares are again flat, and generally lower, and
the speculators for a fall make the most of the unfavourable
circumstances connected with two or three of the York lines.
The returns of railway traffic for the twenty-four weeks of
this year show a gratifying result compared with last year.

ST. JAMES'S TIMATIZE.—A short dramatic after-
season commenced here last evening, the operatic company
Laving left. The chile attraction of the performance was
the first appearance of those favourite artists, Arnal and
Madame Doche, who performed iu the vaudevilles Ce que
Femme Treut and fiche r Amour. The house was well at-
tended. Some very amusing novelties are announced, which
will employ the talents of Arnal and Madame Doche until
the close of the season at the end of next week.
