The dates from Rom 20th inst., but they give more precise details of intel-
ligence. It appears that after the answer of the Con-
stituent Assembly e are still no later than the
had been given to M. LESSEPS,
that plenipotentiary retired to the French camp. He
then informed the French in Rome that they must
leave the city daring the day, as the attack was im-
minent. The triumvirate had demanded two days to
consult, but this request was refused by M. LassEps.
The news of the defeat of the Neapolitans by
GARIBALDI at Velletri is confirmed.
The King of SARDINIA was better on the 25th.

LANDSEER'S RANDOM SHOT.—This beautiful and
singular picture—now on view at the Messrs. Col-
naghi's in Pall-Mall East—has been recently con-
fided to the hands of Mr. Charles Lewis, for the pur-
pose of being engraved. The admirers of Landseer
cannot but feel rejoiced that a work so indicative of
his great artistic abilities is by this arrangement in a
fair way of becoming popular.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QU4RI ER 7'O THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday ampunted
to about 3,500 bale of which 1,000 American were taken
for export, including 3,000 American at 3id. to 61d.,
60 Bahia at 4id to 5d., 50 Eg3 ptian at 6d. to 7d., and
200 Surat at 3d. to 31d. per lb. The market was steady.—
Railway Shares continued to decline, prices of all kinds
of Stock and Shares being lower.
In the produce markets to day there are a good many
sales, and there is a disposition to purchase to a moderate
extent of the principal staples. The supplies generally
are good, but so also are the deliveries.
The corn trade is steady, at about Monday's prices.
The arrivals of foreign grain include 6,140 quarters of
wheat, 6,610 of barley, and 12,530 of oats.
There was, yesterday afternoon, a slight improve-
ment in the rates of bills of exchange on Antwerp, and
on Paris previous rates were given, but a slight decline
occurred in Hamburgh, Frankfort, and `Priests.
We have just heard, per electric telegraph, of news
which is considered to be of some importance to the
mercantile community, and at the same time rather
ominous likewise. The Rob Roy steamer has returned
to hull with the mails on board, having been refused
by the Danish squadron permission to pass into the Elbe.
This looks serious, not so much on account of the act itself,
as of the circumstances which some unavoidably connect
with it, viz, that the presence of the Russian fleet of
observation has encouraged the Danes to be stricter than
before, even to the extent of refusing the entry of the
English mail. We may assume that while the unfortu-
nate contest lasts all correspondence must be sent by
laud, and the suspension of trade between this country
and the north of Germany will be complete. Whether
Russia intends active support a few days may determine,
but the future is pregnant with interest, after the famous
declaration of the Czar in the Hungarian matter.
There was no Bourse at Amsterdam on Monday.
The important firm of Bethman of Frankfort is about,
it is stated, to remove the seat of its operations to
Amsterdam. Indeed no part of Germany offers great
temptation at. present either for extent of business or
security. At Berlin on the 26th inst. the stock market
was dull, but without any particular alteration, and at
Vienna on the 24th inst. prices were firm.
There aro no arrivals from the colonies or distant
parts.
In the English Stock Market there has been an in-
crease of real business, the operations being chiefly in
the New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents. and Reduced
'Three per Cent. Annuities. The former have ranged
from 90i to and the latter from>:94 to k, being yester-
day's va ues, but there is. an appearance of firmness. As the
Transfer-books for Consols will shortly be closed, parties
may be changing their investments. The quotations for
Consols have been 9 to 91k; Bank Stock has touched
193, but since receded again to 1931. The accounts from
France are looked upon as rather favourable in respect
to the ascendancy of the moderate party, but there is
very little confidence, seeing the frequent assemblages of
'the people, that attempts at disturbance will not be made.
The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 455. to 475.,
and on India Bonds 695. to 71s. East India Stock has
realised 250.
The market for Spanish Bonds has been rather
favourably influenced by a communication which the
agents at Madrid of the Dutch and English bondholders
have made to the London Committee, per Mr. James
Capel, respecting their efforts to obtain some settle
ment of the foreign claims. A Commission is ap-
pointed by the Spanish Government specially to
negotiate with the agents, and since hope is
inextinguishable, the creditors are still looking
to some result. A more important circum-
stance to our thinking, however, is the forth-
coming marriage of the Count de Montemelin to an
English lady, and his probable renunciation of all claim
to the Spanish crown on consideration of receiving a
restoration of property commensurate with his royal
descent. The Five per Cent. Bonds have been 161 I,
and the Three per Cents. 33 to i. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been nominally 26 to 23. Mexican
Bonds are 29i to 30 with the coupons. Russian Stock
has been at 1011. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 49 to f.
Shares are very dull. Caledonian, Great Western,
and Midland have been better. North-Western not
quite so good.

RETURN OF THE COURT PROM OSBORNE.—Iier
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
accompanied by their six illustrious children, and
attended. by Viscountess Canning (Lady in Waiting),
Major-General Bowles, and
Major-General Wemyss,
Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon (Equerry to, the
Prince), arrived at Buckingham Palace this afternoon
from Osborne, Isle of Wight, having crossed from
East Cowes to Gosport, in
the Fairy, royal steam-
tender, Commander Crispin, in the absence of Lord
Adolphus Fitsclarence from indisposition. A party
of the 11th Husears escorted the Queen from the Nine
Elms terminus to the Palace. The Lord Chamber-
lain, the Marquis of Breadalbane, by command of her
Majesty, has issued cards for a Grand State Ball on
Wednesday, the 13th of June, on the usual scale of
magnificence. The Court is expected to proceed to
Windsor Castle on Monday or Tuesday next, to re-
main during Ascot races.

UNPROFITABLE PROPHETS.—Our old friends the
twopenny prophets are at work again, as busily as ever.
We had recently the satisfaction of seeing, .
THE THIRD WOE—ONLY TWOPENCE 1
announced for sale, and could not help thinking that it
was very cheap for the mega y. One enterprising fellow
bas started the" three vials" also. At first we imagined
that he had been employed to dispose of a glass business
at a great reduction; but we speedily found that the
" three vials" were some very empty productions con-
cerning the fate of Europe. These industrious dogs are
never at a loss when a prediction breaks down, but coolly
substitute another in its place, and the end of the world
has to our knowledge been unavoidably postponed on
many different eccasions.-7 he Puppet Show.
