ITALY.

General RAMORINO has paid the penalty of his
treasons. He was executed at Turin at five o'clock
on the morning of the 7th inst. It would have been
well for Poland, for Savoy, for Italy, for himself, had
this man never been born.

The Tuscan Monitor of the 4th publishes a pro.
clamation of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, dated
Gaeta, the Ist, announcing that, as it is necessary
for a time to adopt extraordinary and exceptional
measures for the restcration and maintenance of order,
he has appointed General SERRISTORI Governor of
Tuscany, with full and absolute powers. The
GRAND DUKE declares that this measure is only pro-
visional, and that he remains warmly attached to
constitutional principles, notwithstanding the rebel-
lion which attempted to deprive him of his authority.

The Tuscan Monitore of the sth announces the
entrance of the Austrians into Tuscany. General
D'Asrse, who commands the expedition, has published
a proclamation declaring that his expedition has no
further object than that of restoring public tranquil-
lity. The Extraordinary Commissioner of the Grand
Duke, Count SERRISTORI, immediately sent Lieut.-
General D'Axco; FERRARI to explain to General
D'ASPRE that order reigned already in Tuscany, ex-
cepting at Leghorn, and therefore begged that he
would limit the operations of his troops to Leghorn
alone. The vanguard of the Austrian cavalry entered
Pisa on the evening of the sth, and the rest of the
troops, amounting to 14,000 men with 36 cannon,
arrived during the night. All the members of the
Tuscan Cabinet had given in their resignation.
The Genoa Gazette, of the 7th, states that the
Arno steamer, which left Leghorn on the 6th, has
brought the intelligence that the people of that town,
on hearing of the arrival of 15,000 Austrians, in-
creased the strength of their barricades, determined
not to surrender. All the subjects of foreign coun-
tries bad taken refuge on board the ships. It was
expected that Leghorn would be attacked on the
Ith. The Dante steamer, which arrived at Genoa
on the morning of the 7th, has brought the news
that the Town Council of Leghorn had determined
to let in the Austrians, who were only at the distance
of half a mile.
Our news from Rome comes down to the 4th inst.
General MASI was charged with the duty of watch-
ing the French army. The latter raised the bivouac
at Castel de Guido on the 2d, and on the evening of
the same day were at St. Severe. GARIBALDI was
at Malagrata. The commission of the barricades
were making preparations to resist the Neapolitans,
who, it was expected,
_would arrive before the city
on the sth.

The Italia del Popolo of the 2d publishes a cir-
cular to the Presidents of the provinces, dated
the Ist, in which, after an account of the at-
tack upon Rome of the French, not differing
materially from those already given from other
Italian sources, it is stated that the French
troops had retired to an estate of the Berghese family,
called Bravetta, and that General OUDINOT had sent
a flag of truce to propose the exchange of the bat-
talion Melara with the French prisoners, stated by
the Minister of War to amount to 560, and that the
exchange had been consented to, on condition of re-
ceiving also the 4,000 muskets that had been landed
at Civita Vecchia, and detained by the French. The
same document states that the regiment Roselli, and
two battalions of the Ist and 2d regiments of the line,
were on their march from Terni to Rome, and that
National Guards were flowing in from all the neigh-
bouring towns.

ThePiedmontese Gaze*e of the Bth quotes a letter
from Rome of the 2d, stating that the Neapolitans
were at Velletri, and marching upon Rome ; 4,500
of them are commanded by Zuccui, and 0,000
by a Swiss General. The letter further says ;
" Believe me, we shall fight the Neapolitans with
more resolution even than the French ; first, be-
cause we owe them a grudge for their scurvy be-
haviour in Italian matters ; and, secondly, because
the consequences of a Neapolitan victory would be
infinitely worse." In the streets of Rome stones are
piled at intervals with the inscriptions—" Arms for
women." Many women stand fearlessly in the most
dangerous posts armed with muskets, knives, or sti-
lettos. The carriages of Cardinal ANTONELLI had
been burnt the day before.
Another letter states that the King of NAPLES
commands his army, amounting to 12,000 men, in
person. It also says that Rome contains 50,000
armed men, but they have not sufficient artillery to
defend a circumference of sixteen miles, which is
that of the city.
A letter from Gaeta, of the 4th, says:—" The
Holy Father having learnt that the French army. had
not any priest with it, gave orders for such of the
priests who were here as could speak French to go
immediately to Civita Vecchia, and thence join the
French troops, and administer to the dying and the
wounded the succours of religion."
The Corriere Livornese publishes the following
letter from MAzzmi ;

" Rome, May 2.
" 1 hope you have already beard of our good news:

at any rate I shall tell you briefly that en the .10th
a despb,rato struggle ensued, which lasted the whole
day under the walls of the town and in the
neighbouring country. The troops, the volun-
teers, the national guard, and the people have be-
haved admirably. All the attacks have been repelled.
We have made 560 prisoners. The loss in dead and
wounded, on the part of the French, has been consi-
derable. We have had about 160 dead or wounded.
To•day the French are retirini to Civite Vecchia, and
I hope they will leave us time to brat the Neapolitans,
who are advancing 15,000 strong—they will be annihi-
lated. What influence will these prodigious facts have
on Paris? It is clear that the French believed they
would enter Rome without violence. It is even asserted
that General Oudinot had ordered his dinner at Rome
for six in the evening. .

" GIUSEPPE MAZZINI."

A letter from Bastia announces that the Sani left
in the military hospital of that town 215 wounded
men, who3e condition, however, was not dangerous,
and who,.on the contrary, presented hopes of a speedy
recovery.

The "friumvirs, in publishing a proclamation an-
nouncing the approach of the Neapolitan army to
Rome, say—" In the ranks of this army is hidden
that KING to whom Europe has given the name of
the Bombarder of his own subjects. May the blood
of the best of Neapolitan patriots, the blood of our
brothers of Sicily, weigh heavy on the head of this
traitor KING ! GOD, who blinds the eves of the per-
verse, and gives strength to the defenders of the right,
has chosen you, Oh! Romans, to be the avengers !"

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TBREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool closed heavily on
Saturday, but prices were without alteration. Tho sales
were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American
for export ; 4,500 American realised 31d to 60, 70
Pernams, ,Qd to sd, 300 Surats, 34-cl to 31d,:and 100 Sea
Island, 81d to 9id per 10.—In Railway Shares very little
business was transacted, and the market closed flatly at

lower prices.
The Corn trade in Mark-lane is tolerably steady this
morning, at about last Monday's quotations.
The state of the Iron trade in Staffordshire is thus
reported on in Aria' Birmingham Gazette of this day:—
" The position of this trade still remains wavering
and unsatisfactory. Repeated shocks susta.ned by the
railway interests, in consequence of the lati uttpl.asaut
disclosures, have told fearfully upon the spirit se enter-
prise; and, combined with the general depression of
foreign commerce, have confirmed the desponding tone
of feeling, and the almost universal cessation of busi-
ness noticed in our last report. The few home orders
that have since then crept into the market, have been
picked up by makers, who do not consider themselves
under the regulations of the trade, at prices
much below the nominal rates; and the reports from the
Welsh and Scotch markets speak of lower terms there
also. Different views are taken among those best able
to form a judgment of the iuture. Some influential
houses are reported to have given notice to their work-
men for a withdrawal of the late advance in wages, and
the opinion is loudly insisted upon that it would be
better at once to return to the position of last year.
Others are inclined to attribute much of this
vehemence to cousumere and manufacturere, who
are daily receiving intelligible hints that their
stocks must shortly be recruited, and it is stated that
matters are so nicely upon the balance as to be easily
susceptible of either an upward or downward tendency,
and that by carrying out the determination not to give
way for a short period longer, orders will become more
plentiful. A general reduction in the make of Iron
has also been hinted at. As an experiment to restore
confidence, it has too often failed; but, as a necessary
result, it must sown follow diminished consumption.
Whatever steps may be decided upon, or what-
ever impulse may affect our summer transactions,
it is certain that au unusually large quantity
of all sorts of Iron is at present beiug produced in
South Staffordshire, while for sales scarcely the cost
price can be realised. Stocks both of raw and menu-
lectured metal are on the increase. Orders are very
scarce. The Coal and Ironstone trade is also becoming
less animated, wages are advanced, and the condition of
the manufacturing districts is altogether much less satis-
factory than during the first quarter of the year."
There are arrivals from Van Diemen's Land and
other distant parts, but they do not bring later dates.
The Continental news is chielly of a political bearing,
and, as t egards monetary affairs, reads more favourably
than could have been anticipated; for at Vienna, Berlin,
Hainburgh, and Amsterdam, the funds were steady, and
at Paris they had advanced. Even trade was not so
stagnant as might be supposed, the part of the Continent,
where it rules quietest being the Baltic countries, and this
from the effect of the blockade chiefly. At Pillau,
however, the Danish cruisers proved of very little hin-
drance to commerce. At Hamburgh, on Friday last,
the rate of Exchange on London was 1 higher, being
13 91. In the produce markets the dealings were limited,
but owing to the restricted supplies, prices were fairly
maintained.
The means of improving railway property are being
very axiously discussed in all quarters, and we hear
mention chiefly of the plan for working them by
private contract, and of establishing a general transfer
office. With respect to the first of these propositions, it
may be enough to say that it seems to have answered
upon one of the Irish lines, although not very successful
in France, and that it is likely to be tried upon the
hrewsbury and Birmingham and the North Stafford,
at least the latter has advertised for tenders. The plan
is to provide rolling stock to the necessary extent, and
to leave to the contractor the task of keeping it in repair,
and of working the line. A new line, therefore,
would be in the best position for trying the expeii-
ment, and to prevent interruption of the traffic from
a throwing up of the contract, many parties deem it im-
portant that the company should be the proprietor of its
own carriages.
The idea of a transfer office is at present less de-
veloped, but there is no reason why it may not be ma-
tured. The immense capital now invested in
railways, second in amount to no transfer-
able security but the funds, might render it
expedient to form a central department, as at the Bank
of England, where all railway property shall be regis-
tered, and where all transfers should be made. The
several companies must necessarily be armed with a
certain power of supervision, but special facility, upon
payment of a small tee, should be afforded to any share-
holder to inspect the transfer books, within reasonable
hours, and judge for himself, whether the market rules
high or low in consequence of bona fide purchases or
sales. Indeed, this point might be carried still further
by a weekly publication of the transfers made
we should then no longer have shares depreciated or un-
duly enhanced, for the one may be made as injurious to
the public interest as the other, at the mere caprice of
speculators acting recklessly but with determination and
in concert.
There is a rally of to 1 per cent. in the English
Funds, and rather more confidence is exhibited. Consols
have been 91 to 911. The majority for Ministers at
Paris, and the peaceable progress of the elections, serve
in part to dissipate the uneasiness that has prevailed
during the last day or two, but there is certainly not
much security felt. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 90e to I, and the Three per Cents.
891 Bank Stock has been done at 194, and India
Stick at 245. Exchequer-bills have been 475. to 495.,
and India Bonds 695. premium.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have been very
small, but here also prices are looking firmer. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been quoted 17, and the Three per
Cents. 33 to 1. Grenada Deferred have been at 34, and
Equador at 3i Mexican Bonds with the Coupons
have realised 30i. Dutch Two •and-a• Half per Cents.
have been 491 t, and Beligian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. 81k.
In the Railway Share Market there seems rather a
better tone, but without any particular alteration in
prices, except as respects the French lines which have
decidedly improved owing to the rise at Paris.

The foreign imports were

1,023 ditto of Beans; 913 ditto of Peas; '56 ditto 01

Danish question is expected to be speedily settled, the
trade here are looking forward to the re•opening of ai,
Baltic to our shipping, and, consequently, heavy arriva 0
of Wheat from that quarter as the season advances. Th
millers, therefore, have operated with considerable cautioe'
A very limited supply of Wheat reached us this morning
from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire. From all othet
quarters scarcely any grain came fresh to hand. ht
stands were again scantily filled with samples of ElSgliesh'
Wheat, while the demand, notwithstanding the attenu;
ance of both town and country buyers was small, an
the reports from the country favourable in respect to PI
growing crops, for all descriptions was steady, at pricey
about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight, and I
which a clearance was effected. The general condition
s
of the Wheat was good. The quantity of Foreign WO:
on the market was by no means extensive ; 110 T:
theless, it was seasonably large. Really fine qualitl,"
of both red and white moved off steadily, at folly
last week's currencies. In the middling and out e$
condition sorts, only a limited business was passing, yep
the importers would not sell except at very full priced
Floating cargoes of Wheat were rather more inquire'
for, but we heard of very little business being tritae;
acted in them. No English Barley on offer; and tl3s
supply of foreign was far from extensive. The bee
malting parcels were held at full rates of curreucl;
Grinding and distilling sorts were neglected, yet Ifa
cannot call them cheaper. The show of Malt was sgai
trifling, all descriptions met a very dull inquiry, both On
the spot and for delivery, and prices were with ditfical,
supported. The quantity of foreign Oats on sale was ga° ;
very few of home growth were offering. On the whole
fair business was doing isthis grain, at late rates. 130'i3

Flour moved off slowly. In the quotations, however,

Although the imports of foreign stock into Lento

moderate, the time of year considered. The total erli.
comprised 1,486 head, against 2,434 ditto at the e°4:-,08

BOROUGH AND sprnsianzLns.

Coastwise and by railway conveyance the arrivals of
Potatoes up to our markets last week were on the in-
crease, owing to the high prices lately realised here.
The imports from abroad were again extensive, viz.,
933 tons 6,779 bags from Rotterdam, 547 bags from
Amsterdam, 338 bags 93 tons from Ostend, 3,462 bags
from Antwerp, 744 bags 85 tons from Ghent, and 108
bags from Calais, forming a total quantity of about
4.320 tons. This is by far the largest supply of foreign
Potatoes ever received in one week in any English port.
Ita general quality having been tolerably good, the de-
mand for all kinds of Potatoes has fallen off, and prices
have not been supported.

BOROUGH SOP MARKET.
Scarcely any really fine hops are on offer. Such
command a steady sale, at fully last week's quotations ;
but all other kinds are neglected. Current prices of last
year's Hops as follows•—Sussex pockets, 21 4s to 21 18s;
Weald of Npnt ditto, 21 12s to 31 8s ; Mid and East
rent ditto, 315 s to 6/ 18s per cwt.

WOOL.
The public sales of Colonial Wool, at which nearly
25,000 bales will be offered, commenced on Thursday.
The attendance of buyers has been good, and several
Parties have arrived from France to purchase the finest
qualities. The biddings, up to the present time, have
been steady, and a full average quantity has changed
bands, at prices about equal to those paid at the pre-
"ling auctio❑s. In the private contract market very
little business is doing; yet the quotations are fairly
supported. The imports last week amounted to about
400 bales, chiefly from Germany.
