SICILY.

The Risergimento, of Turin, publishes advices
from Palermo. Every article of the capitulation of
Palermo has been violated by the emissaries of King
BOMBA.

Persons are daily arrested, notwithstanding the
amnesty, and several of them, including many priests
and women, have been tortured. Indeed, King
BOMBA. openly avows his intention utterly to disre-
gard any arrangements FILANGIERI may have entered
into, and to disavow them, and FILANGIERI himself
is but too happy to cooperate with his master. The
events now going on in Palermo show how impos..
sib'e it is to place the least reliance on the most
solemn assurances of the Bourbon KING, or any of his
representatives.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from
10,000 to 12,000 bales, one-third of which were taken on
speculation. Holders were firm. In Railway Shares only a
limited business was done at firm rates.
The Bank of England weekly return to the 30th instant,
exhibits at last some increase of circulation, despite the
augmentation of public deposits, which exceeded the
withdrawals from private lodgments. The advances upon
other securities (bills discounted, &c.) were larger, and this
also is a favourable indication, though not likely, we pre-
sume, to result in a permanent addition to the business of the
Corporation after the dividerds are paid, money being so
unusually plentiful. The slight reduction of bullion may
surprise some, but the recent imports have to a large extent
been in silver, which has to be held by private capitalists and
bankers, or exported.. A comparison with the previous week
gives the following results :

The foreign exchanges were quoted yesterday afternoon at
25 60 to 65 on Paris,l3 121,i 3/4 on Hamburgh, 11 56 to 12 on
Trieste, and 12 214 to 1/2 on Amsterdam.
We are favoured by Mr. William Short with the following
report of the London metal market :
" Welch Bar Iron has been in very moderate request
during the month, yet, at the moment, there is less disposi-
tion on the part of makers to give way in price than existed
in the earlier part of the month, though a shade under my
quotation of 5/. per ton, free on board, in Wales, might he
submitted to. Staffordshire Iron has declined fully 10e. per
ton. Scotch Pig Iron, at Glasgow, advanced within the last
fourteen days to Vs. to 455. 6d. per ton cash for mixed
numbers, ordinary brands, but has since declined to 445. to
445. 6d., at which the market is firm. Gartsherrie, No. 1, is
465. Of Swedish Iron there is extremely little in the
market, and the price is firm at my quotations.
" Copper is in fair demand ; the arrivals of foreign ore
having of late been considerable, is in favour of the present
low price being unaltered, at least for a time.
"Tin—Early in the month a reduction of 41. per ton was
made in the price of English Tin, which has resulted in a
fair demand for the article.

" Tin Plates are in fair request, at a decline on Coke of
about ls. to ls. 6d. per box from the price at the commence-
ment of the month.

" Lead is in moderate request, at a shade lower prices.
" Spelter was early in the month advanced to 151. 103.,
at which some sales were effected. Holders have since con-
tinued firm at that figure, but with nearly a total absence of
business, there being no buyers at beyond 151. per ton. The
Present stock is 1,970 tons, against 2,900 tons at the same
period last year."

The expCirts of the precious metals from London, during
the week to Thursday last. were as follows :—Gold coin to
the Mauritius, 588 ounces. Silver coin to Rotterdam, 2,000
ounces ; to Belgium, 1,000 ounces ; and to Dunkirk, 5,000
ounces. Silver bars to Rotterdam, Belgium, and France,
439,040 ounces.

The advices received to-day from the manufacturing dis-
tricts ate satisfactory. At Manchester a fair business has
been done in light geods at very full prices, and buyers have
operated rather freely fur Bruzil, India, and even Germany.
In the woollen branches at Leeds, &c , the prospects are very
favourable, and in the Leicester market a good deal is doing
for America.

The Funds are still moving upwards, Consols having
touched 92% 1/2 for Transfer and Account. Exchequer-
bills are 455. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 195.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 923/4
to 931 g.
The foreign market is hardening, although the dealings
are comparatively small. Spanish Three per Cents. have
touched 333 and 3.11/2. Portuguese Four per Cents. are
3014. Brazilian Bonds have been 83. Mexican are 2814 to
28 Ve. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are nominally 50
to 51 ex div.

Railway Shares have been more active, and in some cases
are looking up a little, but we must except the Midland and
one or two others, which are dec+dedly lower in consequence
of the probability of very small dividends. Brighton are firm,
as also Caledonian, South Eastern, Eastern Counties, Great
Northern and the French lines.

Alining Shares have attracted but little attention this
week.
