Account; from Rome a tribute the approaching
surrendr of the city to the fact that the ammunition
of the Romans was exhausted. 14'or two days before
overtures were male to OUDINOT, they had been
glair bottles filled with pieces of iron and com-
bustibles at their assailanti._ _ _

The Roman Monitor of the 27th ult. says it is
right that ail Europe should know that the bullets
and bombs of the French continue to be di•charged
without distinction on all such part: of Rowe and its
people as they can reach. To say that the defenders

of Rome are foreigners is a grog calumby. If a tew

The Piednumtese Gazette of the ad publishes a pro-
clamation ui VICTOR EMMANUEL to his people, in
which, after announcing that he is so far recovered
as to be able to resume the signature of public acts,
and thanking Ws subjects for the interest they have
shown lii his behalf during his illness, he adverts with
gratitude to the unparalleled feeling of grief displayed
by the nation on being informed of the dangerous ill-
ness that threatened the I:fe f a Prince who had given
such unequivocal proofs of his love towards Italy and
his people, and who now was in a distant land a vo-
luntary exile, lie trusts thit the Prince of
CAKIGNAN will by this time have arrived al. Oporto,
and consoled toe illustrious patient with the tidings
of his country. Tbs. KING further states that he has
been called to the throne in a difficult moment, to
consolidate the work or his father, and that he trusts
in the wisdom or his people, who will not mar his en-
deavours to liberal institutions. " Those," he says,
" who give ear to reason and not to passion, who by
means of the past can read the future, will feel that
my words are serious, and relate to the real state of
things. Those, on the contrary, who are blinded by
passion, who nourish desires impossible to realise, who
are, in fact, hostile to me, will suoa become my friends
when they see who I really am, and to what calum-
nies I have been exposed ; if they are honest enemies
they will ne convinced ; if they are not, I shall still
love them and pardon them, on condition that they
disturb not those fundamental laws established by
King CHARLES ALBERT, which I have sworn to main-
tain and to defend. If we look about us, we in many
parts see society, undermined by excess of liberty,
turn in terror to whoever may save it, even at the risk
of losing the benefits of true liberty. It is for you
to follow the dictates of reason, and to avoid such
extremes, and not to render either liberty or the
statute impossible." The KING then adverts to the
question of peace with Austria, assuring the people
that none but an honourable peace will be accepted,
and will give the Legislature leisure to repair the in
juries of adverse fortune, and place the kingdom in
the rank it deserves to hold among civilised States.
He then concludes as follows :—"By the aid of Pito-
VIDENCE, and the frank and active co-operation of all,
my promise will not be vain, nor will the hopes of a
future, calculated to efface the remembrance of former
adversity, becancelled ; and King CHARLES ALBERT,
whom God restore to our frequent and ardent pray ers,
may enjoy, even in distant parts, the noble satisfac
Lion of having laid the only foundations to his fame
which are worthy of a prince—the happiness of his
people, secured by respected and free institutions."

We are advisod in Aris' Birmingham Gazette of to-
ray, concerning the Iron tr ade, as fellows:—
"The transactions of the South Staffordshire iron-
masters at their late preliminary meeting, so far as they
have been a lowed to transpire, have not produced a
favourable impression. nor has the reduction of 10s. per
ton then declared upon manufactured iron been received
with setieaction. No revivsl of orders hes followed, no
underselling has been checked, and it is much doubted
whether that concession will enable the Stafferdehire
makers at all to compete with Yorkshire, Newcastle,
and other districts. It is noeTious that pur-
chases could be made at 5/. 10a already, if buyers
could be found; and judging from the lightness with
which former resolutions of preliminary meetings have
been violated. consumers are quite prepared for the ex-
hibition of a further decline during the ar, ek. Notices
have generally been given for a corresponding reduction
in the waists of the workmen, and, in some instances,
the colliers and miners have been paid upon the reduced
scale. No hesitation is, therefore, r xpeeted on their
part, and a reasonable concession will at once be yielded
in the prices of materials. Circulars from the lime-
stone quarries of Lord Watd at Dudley have been
si,nt cut to the extent of 12i per cent. Ironstone has
given way in a aidh greater proportion, and like meat
other article's connected with tee iron trade, appears to
be nearly unsaleable at any rate."
The ship Berkshire, from Port Philip, brings accounts
of February 21, and they report favourably of the state
of the colony. A dhpetch of art interesting character
had been received out from Lord Grey concerning the
upset price of law], and iu which there are some very
plausible reasons .assigned for maintaining the present
system It is alleged that the old plan has failed, especially,
in Western Australia, and that since the minimum price,
was adopted a million sterling has been realised for the
promotion of immigration, and. yet- the demand for
labour centinuesielerth a prospect, • 00, of the cultivation
of land being more attended to. Certainly sheep rear-
ing has been carried on to an enormous extent, and
almost to the neglect of every other pursuit, the result
of which has been a productien aimed in excess of too
consumpion, or temporarily at least of the demand,
and a ith a very low range of prices. Ultimately
Wool will be a stronger competitor with-Cotten if the
quotations rule permanently moderate, though this ,to
great extent depends upon the facilities tittered to the
settlers in the shape of labour. The number of Sheep
in the western port district, at the latest dates, was
1,092,753, and a wae ion, forty-five miles from Melbourne,
tied been sold with 850 'head of cattle at 245. 6d. each,
including the improv: ments, a six roomed cottage, hut*
&c., the terms basing 50 per cent, cash, and the rest in
six months.

The savings' banks returns are satisfactory, 598 deposi'
tors of the poorer classes having deposits varying fro®
11. to 200/4 bus chiefly from 401. to 501. There were
building societies, &.., which offered greet facilities also.
The Sydney accounts given in the Port PhiliP
papers are not later, viz., Fe-bruary 13, but they
des, ribe trade as being excessively dull there. Pro'
bably the Sy defy people being so used to speculation are
apt to consider the present as dull times.
