ITALY.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Roman
Republic, has addressed the following letter to the
Ministers of France, England, Sweden, and Den-
mark, at Florence :
" Sir,—The readiness and dignity with which you, as
also your colleagues of the corps diplomatique at Flo-
rence, used, on the Bth August, your good offices to
avert from Bologna the evil with which the impudent
Marshal Welden menaced it, induces me to denounce to
you, in the name of humanity, an enemy not less despi-
cable and detestable than Welden. A certain Haynau,
styling himself marshal or general, after having stclen
from Ferrara 200,000 crowns, has taken with him six
eminent citizens, in order, as he says, to guarantee the
innovations that he has ordered in the city.
" The carrying away these hostages must lead to ter-
rible reprisals, and it is for the purpose of avoiding them,
and to preserve pure and holy our revolution, that I now
beseech you to have these victims of barbarity set at
liberty. Italy resorts but to legal warfare,
,though she
fights against her oppressors. She does not rob, nor
carry away honest citizens from their families, nor mas-
sacre defenceless women. Such ignominy she leaves to
the Croats. But the European Powers ought to lament
such atrocities, and render assistance to those who suffer
in the holy cause of liberty.
"This conviction has led me to write to you, urgently
to desire you, in the name of the Republic, to use your
good offices, that the six hostages may be restored to
their country.
"Persuaded, Sir, that you will not hesitate to per-
form as you have done under former circumstances, the
noble act I now request of you.
"I have the honour, &c.
" Rome, March 1. 1849."

In the sitting of the Ist of the Constituent Assem-
bly of Rome, Minister Gurccrou proposed a Bill
adopting the Tuscan tariff instead of the Roman ;
another for the abolition of the barrier tax along the
frontiers ; and a third abolishing the customhouse
line between Tuscany and Rome.
According to a letter from Rome, quoted by the
Concordia of Turin, the Roman army at this moment
amounts to 41,670 men, with 54 pieces of artillery,
and a sufficient number of waggons. Two .thirds of
the soldiers have already seen fire at Cornuda, Vi-
cenza, Treviso, Mestre, and Venice. There are be-
sides 1,200 mobilised National Guards at Rome, an
university battalion 700 strong, and many Neapolitan
and Milanese emigrants, who have not yet been in-
corporated. _ _

The Alba of Florence quotes a letter from Naples,
dated 26th ult., stating that a detachment of Neapo-
litan troops stationed at the frontier had fraternized
with the Roman troops, and had been immediately
recalled in consequence.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.— By the
Atalanta, just arrived from Havre, we learn that the
cotton sales yesterday were rather languid, prices hav-
ing declined from 1 to 11 francs below those of last
week. Sales to two o'clock, 700 bales. The Charle-
magne arrived yesterday from New York with a cargo
of cotton.'

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
crry I I.? TE R 0 THREE.
There was a steady market for Co.ton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices of A inerisan were id. lighsr. The
sales w. re estimated at about 7,000 biles, and cerpprised
6 000 American, a: to 6d.; 300 Egyptian, at 51d. to
6a 1. ; 300 Sur ins, a, 341.- I. to ai I. ; and 60 Se.i idsod,
at 9d. to 1 lid. per 16.—Railway Shares were dull and
heavy, with but a very limited business doing.
The advices received to-day from abroad are less
favourably construed, but upon going carefully through
the foreign papers we do not find that there is much be-
yond mere rumour. The Dates are certainly muking
preparations; but they may be simply precautionary, and
it is to be hoped that if any act of violence occurs, pend
ing the negotiations in which Lord Palmerston has taken
so warm and disinterested an interest, England will with-
held at once its further good offices, and leave the par-
ties concerned to fight it out. What Italy will hrii•g
forth it is impossible to say, but the preparations at
Toulon are interpreted as being for the purpose of re-
instating the Pope.
There has been part of the wreck of the Floridian
emigrant ship picked up off Katwyck-sur mer, in
Holland. Two corpses were lashed thereto, and one or
two articles, with a letter, were also found.
The steamer Avon has arriv, d with the West India
mail, but her accounts are not in town yet, further than
wh.it is known per electric telegraph, which informs us
of the vessel having on board 1,000,000 dollars in coin
'and bullion, brought from Panama. The reports upon
the state of the colonies are represented 'to be rather
more favourable, but we expect no psrticular im-
provement until there is a thorough carrying
out of free-trade principles. The colonies cannot be
expected to prosper under a patchwork system, and it
deprived of protection they should have other compen-
satory facilities afforded them.
The result of last night's division upon the naviga-
tion-laws, although not leaving a very lsrge majority, en-
courages the hope that this vexatious question will soon
be disposed of, A moment's reflection shows us that
our commerce is " cabined and confined" by the anti
quatea restrictions put upon it, and that the great ma-
jority in this country—the consuming classes—are sacri-
ficed to the supposed interests of the shipowners who,
alter all, are never con ented, and, if we are to believe
themselves, never benefited.
The Funds have been exposed to some fluctuation
again to-day, the settlement showing a still more
"Bullish" state of things than had been expected, for
the speculators have postponed their arrange-
ments to the last minute, and have experienced the
usual fate of being severely punished for their temerity.

VICE-CHAN CERY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Vice- ChancellorWicßear.)

EARL GRANVILLE V. M'l'ilEL.
His HONOUR give judgment in this cause this morn-
ing. 11., said, by a settlement made on the 11th of
Jute, 1833, power was reset ved to a gentleman, named
George Alexander Fuilarton, his executory, adminis-
trators, and assigns, in a certain event which after•
wards happened, to appoint a new trustee in the place
of a person named Stone, one of the original trustees of
he settlement. Stone died in 1834, and George Alex-
ander Faarton is since dead, having made a will, by
which he appointed thrt e persons to act as his execu-
tors. One ut those executors had renounced the execu-
t,rship, and the will bad been proved by the surviving
executors. The acting executor of Stone's will had ap-
pointed a trustee of the settlement in the place
of his testat9r. The surviving trustees of the
setiknient- of June, 1833, had called on the
trustee appointed under ,t,tone's will, to convey the
property to them; and the question was, whether the
appuintment of a trustee by the acing executor of Stone's
will was a good appointment. His Honour was of
opinion that the appointment was a good one.

ING V. ICENNY.—JUDGMENT.
ILS IiONOUR also gave judgment in this cause. The
circumstances of the ca,e, he said, were these. The tes•.
tator directed his residuary personal estate to be divided
into four parts; two of those parts were to go to two
persons who took absolutely; and the otht r two parts
were directed in such a way as that the persons now in
eossession should take a life estate only. Upon the hear-
ing of the case on further directions a sum of 5001. ass
reserved out of the general estate to answer further coats;
and subject to that reservation, two shares of the resi-
duary personal estate were handed over to
the persons entitled absolutely, and a refer-
ence was directed to the Master to carry
on the general estate; secondly, to inquire whether the
slums of the real estate of the two persons who took ab-
solutely should be sold; and, thirdly, to ascertain how
much of a certain fund in court, part of the settled shares,
consisted of principal moneys, and how much of interest.
The Master had made his report, and the only question
raised before him (the Vice-Chancellor) on Saturday
last, was to what extent the 5004 reserved to answer costa
was liable to the costs incurred under the last reference
to the Master. Thera could be no difficulty in answer•
ing the question on the first point. The first related to
the general estate, and the inquiry, whatever its result
might be, was for the benefit of all the parties interested
in the general estate, and the costs of that inquiry must,
therefore, come out of the 5001.; on the second point, as
to the shares of the real estate of the two parties,
entitled absolutely, he thought the costs ought to
come out of the shares of those parties ;- the
third point, as to whether those costs ought to be
paid out of the 5001., part of the general estate, or out of
the shares directed to be settled, was more difficult of so-
lution under the circumstances of this case. Where a fund
was severed from an estate, and inquiry became neces-
sary with respect to the severed portion of the fund, that
fund would bear the costs of the inquiry, although those
costs might have been paid out of the general estate if
the inquiry had been directed before the severance, but
the reservation of the 5001. had kept the question open,
and obliged him to consider whether it was originally
chargeable on the general estate. There was no abso-
lute rule on the subject, but in this case he thought
those costs ought to come out of, and were originally
chargeable on, the general estate. He must treat this
case as one of due administration of the estate by the ex-
ecutors, and consequently that the inquiry under,
which the costs in question had been in-
curred were incident to the general administration
of the estate in a due course of administration ; and he
ought not to diminish any one share of the residuary
legatees in favour of the other shares. Therefore the
costs of the inquiry would come out of the 5001.; and the
second, as to the sale, would come out of the shares of
the parties interested; and the costs of the third part of
the inquiry would come out of the general estate.

B W-STREET.—( THIS DAY.)
Edwin Perkins, a carman late in the emplo)ment of
Mr. Charles Hodson, of Brydges-street, Covent-garden.
manufacturer of mineral waters, was charged before Mr.
Jardine with embezzling several sums of money, the
property or his employer. There were charges respect-
ing moneys paid on Mr. Hods,,n's account for goods
delivered, by Mr. Blockey, of Pimlico, and Mr. Thomas,
the hotel keeper of Hatchett's; but these cases were
postponed.

- A-charge of embezzling two different sums of Bs. 6d.
and 12s. 6d., paid on account of Mr. Rockley, of the
New Ilummums, Covent-garden, on the 26th of Fe-
bruary and the sth of March last respectively, was
proved by Mr. Wiltshire, the manager of that establish.
ment, and a boy named Thomas Ninan, through whose
hands the payments were made. In each of the eases
the hand wriiing of the prisoner in the receipts was dis-
tinctly sworn to by the complainant and other witnesses.
A solicitor, who attended for the prisoner, cross-exa•
mined the witnesses at great length, and elicited from
the prosecutor, that when he ascertained from Mr.
Blockey that the latter had paid 31.85. 3d. for which the
prisoner had not accounted, he (Mr. Hodson) asked
Perkins to give him an account of all the sums which
he had received and not accounted for. The prisoner
immediately drew out an account, which the witness now
produced. It was not obtained by any promise or
upon any understanding that the prisoner was to be
allowed time to pay up the deficiency.
The MAGISTRATE observed that the list furnished by
the prisoner at the prosteutor's request created a diffi'
culty in the case. The charge of embezzlement misery)
which required to have been well examined and pro'
pared for full inquiry before it came to this court. 1‘
would be necessary to remand the prisoner to a future
day, when the evidence might be completed.
After some further proceedings the prisoner was fullf
committed.
