ITALY.

It was said that General
1 OU DINOT was to advance
against Rome on the 14tha.s at the head of 6,000 men,
h
and that he had disposed troops en echellon from
Civita Vecchia to support hisi attack. On the same
day the regiment of Roselland several other corn.
panies from Perugia marched into Rome for the defence
of the city.
The French were endeavouring' if
rpeossible, to
form a junction with the Neapolitans, previously to
commencing the attack. The Romans, says
Opinione of Turin, coolly await them to give the
them a
second lesson. The same journal states that the
POPE has protested against the French and Spanish
intervention in a letter addressed to Father VENTURA.
England is stated to have offered her mediation
through the medium of the American Consul. A
Neapolitan column is in the Marches on the side of
the Abruzzi.
The Contemporanco of the 13th instant has corre-
spondence from Ancona of the 9th, from which it
appears the inhabitants of that city are prepared to
make a desperate resistance. Tbey had warned off
two French vessels of war, threatening to fire on
them, on which the French Consul lowered the
French flag, and with his family quitted the place.
The Consuls of Naples, Austria, and Spain were in-
vited to follow his example.
The Duke of PARMA entered Piacenza on the
evening of the 16th instant, and was but coolly
welcomed. Ile set out for Parma the following
morning.
Official news of the surrender of Bologna was re-
ceived at Milan on the 18th, from the head•quarters
of Borgo Panole. On the 15th at noon a general
bombardment commenced, and in about half an hour
flags of truce were displayed, and shortly after a depu-
tation arrived at the Austrian head-quarters to request
a cessation of hostilities. A truce was granted till
five the following evening, at which time another

deputation came and announced the surrender of the
town, and a capitulation was forthwith agreed on, and
in accordance with its conditions the Austrians took
possession of the gates of Castiglione, S. Felice, and
Galliera, the barricades were removed, and the guns
deposited in the Apostolic Palace, and a disarmament
of the Bolognese effected. General RADETZKY im-
mediately sent the keys of the city to the POPE, at
Gaeta.
The Austrians were defeated by the Venetians at
Malghera on the 7th. The Venetians made a sortie,
and drove the Austrians hack to the entrenchments at
the same time destroying a considerable portion of
their works. The Austrians lost 300 men in this
affair.

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS:
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, and
prices remained much the same as on Friday last. The sales
were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, 500 of which
were for export.— Railway Shares were quite inactive, and
very little business was transacted.
The six weeks' average price of grain is returned at 455.
3d. per cuarter.
The Continental advices have again been the general
theme of comment, and are unfavourably construed.
Indeed the impression becomes almost daily stronger.
that some strong coup d'etat will be attempted in France
with the view of crushing the war party, or other-
wise, that a mischievous quarrel will arise. All seems
chaotic at present, and the sensitiveness of the Money Market
at Paris is likely to endure until some settlement of pending
difficulties can be reasonably foretold. The French Funds
lost yesterday part of their previously improved tone, but
rallied a little after the Bourse, according to what is
stated in private letters that have been shol‘n to us.
In the Amsterdam Bourse on Tuesday there was great
excitement, owing to the news from Paris, and large
sales of French rentes being pressed; the Three per
Cents. declined 46k, nor did they rally subsequently. Dutch
Stock suffered likewise, being 47 for the Two-and-u-Half per
Cents. Spanish were most depressed among the foreign
investments. _ _

It is stated in the continental papers that England, France,
and Russia have acquiesced in the plan of a federal govern-
vernment for Germany, because such does not violate any
existing treaties.
The advices by the overland mail report very favourably
upon the markets in our Eastern possessions, and in most
articles of British manufacture a fair business was doing at
Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras.
The China market report is not altogether satisfactory.
There had been a moderate business done a short time pre-
viously, but a suspension of dealings occurred, owing to the
uncertainty about the opening of the gates.
The Committee of Spanish American bondholders have re-
ceived another communication from Messrs. Manning and
Mackintosh, in which the great probability of a further
appropriation by Congress of the United States indem-
nity money towards the payment of a dividend
is reiterated, with a hope that the Mexican Government
will make certain concessions in respect to the cotton
licenses that will render them more saleable. It is like-
wise intimated that we may soon expect a further remittance
from the tobacco duties.
At the meeting of lonian Bank shareholders held to-day
a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared,
with an addition to the reserve fund.
The English Stock Market opened firmly upon the in-
telligence from India of the entire subjugation of the Pun-
jaub ; but the Continental news by the second delivery
has since had an effect. Consols have been 91%
14, and are now 91 to %. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. realised 90% to 3/4. Bank Stock is worth 193%
to 195. Exchequer-bias hare been 475., and India Bonds
68s. to 71s. premium.
In the Foreign Market there is not much doing Spanish
Five per Cents. are 16 to 14, and the Three per Cents. 3214
to % ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 48%.
Mexican are steady at 30% 34, and Equador are 3%.
The Share Market is dull, and prices rule heavier for Cale-
donian, South-Eastern, and Brighton. The French lines are
cheaper again.
