ITALY.

On the 24th the Constituent Assembly of Rome
drew up a protest against the French invasion and
dispatched it to Civita Vecchia to General OUDINOT.
The Assembly then summoned the triumvirate to its
presence to give an account of the proposed French
interference, who having attended, M&ZZINI stated
that they had received no official communication on
the matter; that they had faith in the good intentions
of France, but it was nereetheless necessary not to
neglect all measures requisite for the country's safety.
The Assembly then, at the suggestion of AlAaztNi,
resolved, in conformity with the new Constitution,
that though firmly determined to resist the union of
the temporal and ecclesiastical powers in one and the
same person, they were ready to assure to the Poem
the full and perfect exercise of all his ecclesiastical
powers. A large meeting was announced for the
26th, to protest against the invasion, and the domi-
nancy of the ecclesiastical authority in Rome.
The Austrian General NUGENT died at Brescia on
the 27th ult.

LEVANT MAIL.
Intelligence has been received from Athens to the
18th, and from Constantinople to the 14th ult. The
Ministerial crisis still continued at Athens. Intelli-
gence had been received at Constantinople that an
insurrection, which had broken out on the 12th of
March, at Teheran, had been put down by the per-
sonal energy of the young Shah of PERSIA.

KING'S COLLEGE HosrlTAr..—Yesterday evening a
meeting of the committee of this charity was held in the
board room, Portugal-street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields; Charles
Heberden, Esq., in the chair. From the report, it appeared
that the number of patients during the year had amounted
to nearly 20,000, making a total since the foundation of the
charity of about 130,00). It appeared that the Right Hon.
the Earl of Carlisle had consented to preAde over the tenth
annual festival on Saturday next, when a very energetic
effort will be made to render the result beneficial to the ge-
neral funds of the charity, as well as adeptate to supply the
deficiency of income during the past year. Some routine
business having pass:sd, thanks were Toted to the chairman,
and the meeting separated.

been rather an improved demand, and fair sales are the re-
sult. The crop in the United States promises, nevertheless,
to be considerable.—The Railway Share Market has been
fluctuating, and the tendency has been to decline.
In the London produce markets during the present week
there has been more firmness. Holders have rehetined from
pressing their staples, and buyers seeing this evince more
disposition to collie forward and operate. This was most
perceptible yesterday, when Sugar advanced, and Coffee was
brisker, other articles manifested a better tone.
The account of the Bank of England for the week to the
2Sth ult. indicates noi augmented demand for accommoda-
tion in mercantile circles, and the continued reduction in the
stock of bullion has thus far had no particular influence. In-
deed, as we have before stated under this bead, it must go
much further before it will have such an effect, both because
the supply already in the Bank vaults is superabundant, and
the arrivals from South America and other parts serve to fill
to a great extent the void occasioned by exports. When we
see the deposit accounts sensibly drawn upon, the note cir-
culation augmented, and advances upon securities more de-
manded, it will be time enough to inter that the shipment of
bullion is acting on the Money Market. The results of a
comparison with the previous week are as follows :

The rates at which Bills of Exchange were yesterday
afternoon negotiated upon the principal cities of the Conti-
nent were firm in nearly every instance, and rather higher
upon Austria and Italy. Paper dated at ninety days was
taken at '25, 50 to 55 on Paris, at 11, 39 to 42 on Trieste, at
13, 113 to 12 on Hamburgb, and at 12, 2 to 214 on
Amsterdam.
The exports of the precious metals from London during
the week, to Thursday last, were as follows :—Gold coin, to
Belgium, 2,500 ounces, and to the Mauritius, 449 ounces.
Silver coin, to Belgium, 72,500 ounces; to Rotterdam, 2,000
ounces; and to Mogadr, 5,120 ounces.
The steamers to Hamburgh, much to the gratification o
parties interested, are again taking cargo as well as the mails
and passengers, and as this must necessarily be done by per-
mission of the Danish Government, the hope grows stronger
that peace will be promptly concluded.
The accounts received this morning from the manufactur-
ing districts read better in some respects. At Manchester
there is more activity within the last day or two, and from
Halifax we are advised as follows:
"As has been the ease for two or three weeks past, there
has been but little activity in this day's market, either in
Yarns or Piece Goods. The makers of both, however, are pretty
well employed in the execution-of former orders, and feel no
apprehension about those being followed up by fresh ones to
a greater or less extent. Prices, which latterly showed signs
of weakness, are now more likely to sustain a firm front, par-
ticularly as Wools seem to be making a pause in their down-
ward tendency. In Combing Wools and middle %Venters are
quieted 101. • Middle Hogs 101. 103. per pack. In the 'short
Wool market there appears a slight falling off in prices of
Noils and Broke."
The steamer Hermann, from the United States, furnishes
accounts of April 20, from New York. The money market
was easier, and the exchange on London firmer.
In relation to the movements in the Cotton Market during
the past two weeks, Stewart's Circular, of New York, says—
" The receipts of cotton at the southern shipping ports
continue very large, and maintain a greater compara-
tive excess over those of the last year, than appeared at
the date of my last circular, without exhibiting any
indications of a sudden abatement, except that
in the Atlantic interior depots, the amount there awaiting
transhipment is 40,000 bales less than it was at the same
date last semen. At Apalachicola, however, the receipts are
on the increase, the high stage of the Chattahooche enabling
the largest class of boats to be again employed. At Mobile,
also, the receipts have increased slightly the last two weeks;
the prices current of the 3d instant contains the following in
explanation :—`As was anticipated in our last, the rise in
the rivers has brought down a considerable quantity of Cotton
which has been detained for months by the low water,
and the receipts of this week amount to 15,516 bales.'
The receipts of the week ending the 7th inst., only amount
to 10,471 bales against 16,046 bales of the preceding week.
At New Orleans, the falling oil in the receipts as com-
pared with that of last year, is 32,700 bales. The re-
ceipts of the week ending the 7th instant, being only 27,676
bales against 42,153 bales of the preceding week. The
season has now so well advanced, that it is not probable,
and barely possible that the crop receipts can be kept under
2,600,000 bales, as, although the high stage of the Missis-
sippi, and its tributaries, has undoubtedly hastened the ship-
ment of the Cotton deposited on the banks of those rivers, it
must be considered also that the excessive rains have pro-
bably retarded to as great an extent the hauling of it to these
depots from the interior plantations."
The number of vessels which had left the United States
for California, up to the latest date, was 309, and they con-
veyed 19,717 passengers.
There has been a flatter market for Public Securities, owing
to the disposition to sell after a rise, and to the stress which,
in such cases, is laid upon circumstances which previously
were unheeded, or treated as of no importance. We allude
now especially to a matter we bare not failed to notice under
this head, viz., the possible results of Russian interference in
Germany. Consols have been 9214 921 A, and are now 92

to increased orders to sell, but sosne of the Scotch lines, and
also the French, are still an exception.

THE RELIEFS OF TIIE ROYAL ARTILLERY.--The
Board of Or:',nanee intend forwarding the reliefs of Royal
Artillery to North Britain direct by steam ships from

Vience reshipped for further conveyance. Much trouble
and annoyance will be prevented by this new route, and
the expense will bo very little more than that incurred
