ITALY.

The Piedinontese Gazette of the 2d has intelligence
from Rome to the 27th ult. The French had es-
tablished a besieging battery in a vineyard at Ponte
Molle. It was said they would occupy Albano,
Frascati, &c., to avoid the malaria. French troops
continued to arrive at Civita Vecchia. The statues
and marbles of the Villa Borghese have mostly been
transported to St. Peter's. The pavillions of the new
villa Borghese are already pulled down.
By a decree of the 2d the King of SARDINIA has
granted a full amnesty for all political offences an-
terior to that date committed in the island of
Sardinia.

The Milan Gazette of the Ist states from Ancona
that the Austrian detached naval division had an-
chored at Fiumicino, near Ancona, and concerted its
operations with thoFe of Lieutenant Marshal WIMP-
FFEN, who was on his march against the town. The
Austrian war steamers sew ral times approached
within gun-shot of the batteries, and exchanged fire
with them. Oa the night of the 26th ult. the Cur-
tatore approached the port and began its fire against
the town, while a few shells were thrown into it from
the land side. The forts and batteries responded with
vigour. On the 27th the Venus frigate and Curta-
tore steamer recommenced the attack. The authori-
ties at Ancona gave up the hostages they had, among
whom were Count MASTAI FERRETTI, a relation of his
HOLINESS. They were taken on board the Bellona,
Austrian frigate.

The Presse of Vienna has the following from
Milan, dated 24th ult. :—" The Commission ap-
pointed to assess and collect the war• taxes has seat
into each province an officer of the staff accompanied
by a civil functionary as secretary. The Commis-
sion seems to meet with great difficulties, because it
appears that the assessments have been made without
any previous examination into the amounts of pro-
perties. Hence it has resulted that many persons
have been called upon to pay more than they possess,
and consequently their property has been confis-
cated, which, however, is forbidden by the Consti-
tution. Consequently, the assessments must be re-
duced, and the property sequestrated treated accord-
ingly. The question is whether purchasers will be
found. If the large estates are parcelled out so as
to be sold to the farmers in lots, they must be sold
at such low prices that nothing will remain for the
Government after payment of the debts and the ex-
penses of measuring and litigation. The Princess
BELGIOJOSO has sold her property to M. VICTOR
CONSIDERANT, at Paris, to escape confiscation. The
French Government demands that the sale shall be
declared valid, although it was not made before the
ordinary tribunals, the country being at that time in
a state of insurrection, and the tribunals closed. The
sale was made regularly before the French authori-
ties. To these difficulties must be added that the
execution of the measure often is met with a strong
resistance ; that troops have to be called out, as
occurred a short time ago at San Angiolo, between
Lodi and Pavia, and, more recently, two companies of
the regiment of La Tour were obliged to set off for
Bregenz."

The Corriere Mercantile of the Ist states that the
Austrians have seized all the forts of Florence; a
military contribution of two millions is expected to
be imposed. The city is nearly deserted. The Aus-
trians have retired from Pistoia.
The following decree, dated the 20th ult., has been
published at Florence, in the name of the GRAND
DUKE :—" Art. 1. The decrees of the 25th of March
and 17th of April, 1848, and the successive ordon-
nance of the 25th of October of the same year, are
revoked. Art. 2. The Tuscan State re-adopts the
colours and cockade it had at the time of the pro-
mulgation of the statute, 15th of February, 1848."
The Parma Gazette of the 30th publishes several
decrees of the Ducal Commissioner, Baron STURMER.
Among them is a decree granting an amnesty to all
inferior functionaries and soldiers who belonged,
before the revolution, to the Royal Dragoons and
other corps, who had deserted in March, 1848, and
April, 1849.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAL?? ER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool 3 esttrday wore
20,000 bales, of which 9,000 were on speculation. The
market was very excited, and prices advanced from id.
to id. for American, and 1-16 d. for Sura:; other sorts
unchanged. In Railway Shares only a limited business
was transacted.
The six weeks average price of wheat is 445. 9d. per
Taal ter, and the sales in the provincial markets which
make official returns were last week 82,671 quarters.
This being the Grand Ascot day there is very little
doing in the produce markets.
Ever and anon we are reminded of the disastrous
remanet of the panic of 1847, and certainly few cases
are more distressing than that which appears in another
column of The Sun, under the head of the Bankruptcy
Court. We allude to the matter of Melville, Cruik-
shanks, and Co. This firm began business with an
ample capital, which in the lapse of about six
or seven years was wholly lost, and without any
imputation of recklessness against the partners, who
traded cautiously, and drew scarcely anything out of the
concern for private expenses. We point to this in proof
of the gross inconsistency, and want of judgment on the
part of those who advocate " protection." Under an
srtiticial system, commerce is bolstered up to the injury
of the community, str,d ultimately, if a change of policy
takes place, as it inevitably must, to the ruin of those
who have not made ample fortunes and retired. Let
us have trade, then, upon a sound natural basis.
The proposition or information said to have been re-
ceived by the committee of Spanish American bond-
holders upon the subject of a general arrangement of
the Mexican debt, has excited a good deal of attention
and discussion among parties interested, as well as in
the Stock Exchange, and there is as yet some doubt as
to the exact nature of them. We believe, however, that we
can state correctly, in general terms, enough to prevent
misapprehension, and to corroborate as hat has before
been advanced as to the fair intentions of the Mexican
Government. Some months since it was mentioned,
though not officially, that the Mexican Government were
desirous of effecting a general arrangement of the debt,
and, provided the bondholders would make some conces-
sion, of giving them still better security for the pay-
ment of the dividends. It would now appear that
an offer in this sense has been made to Mr. Robertson,
the agent of the bondholders, by the Minister of Finance
at Mexico, and that there is a promise of a large
amount of the indemnity money being set aside should
a Three per Cent. Stock be accepted, provision being
made, of course, for dividends in arrear. Mr. Robertson,
it is said, negotiates for a Four per Cent. security. Now
without entering further into this matter, we may
remark that no one supposed Mexican Stock would pay
five per cent., or the price in the market would ere this
have been 60 or 70, instead of 30 to 34. Every Active
Bond includes some arrears of dividend, and there is the
temptation now of cash down with better security here-
after. A morning contemporary, the Herald, censures
the committee of bondholders, who are said to have
received Mr. Robertson's letter on Tuesday
afternoon by half-past three, for not having
up to this day, communicated a word thereof to the
bondholders at large, although the matter is whispered
about privately, and speculated upon accordingly. Pro-
bably the committee may give some explanation upon
this point.
The English Funds are heavy and lower again,
on account of the mail from Paris bringing no
President's message, and in part also because of
a Russian loan being expected. Certain it is that
the great Petersburgh banker, Baron Stieglitz is
in London, and that as Austria wants money,
the operation might be intended indirectly to supply it.
Consols have been 91i to 914, and are now 91i 4. The
New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 90i to 91.
Bank Stock is worth 195. Exchequer-bills have been
455. to 48s. premium, and India Bonds 71s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Mexican
have been worth 284 to 29. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are dull at 26. Dutch Two-and•a-Half per
Cents, are at 50. Spanish Three per Cents. are 331.
Railway Shares are not very active, but have not
varied much in price. The names put forward for the
Eastern Counties Direction are not much thought of.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice
WILLIAMS and a Common Jury.)
JONES V. lIIEESON.
This was a running down case, part heard yesterday,
in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation
for a serious injury he had sustained by being thrown
out of a chaise, through the alleged careless driving of
the defendant's servant.

Mr. Sergeant Bvles and Mr. Miller appeased for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins represented thee defendant.
The plaintiff, Mr. Jones, is a compositor in the office
of the Dispatch, residing in Clerkenwell ; and the de-
fendants are lime merchants in a large way of business-
It appeared that Mr. England, a gentleman al°."
connected with the Dispatch, was on 'she 21st August la
the occasion in question, driving a four-wheeled chaise,
drawn by one horse, down to Woodford to see his child-
ren, who were staying there. lie took three or four
friends along with him, one of whom was the plaintiff,
Mr. Jones. They were proceeding at a pace about six
miles an hour, and had reached a bridge situate between.,
Bow Church and the Bird-in-hand public-house, atm
were descending a declivity after crossing the bridge,
when the driver of a lime-waggon belonging
to the defendants going in the same di"
ection, suddenly, as was alleged, whisked his horses
across the road, which resulted in a collision with the
chaise in which Mr. England and his friends were tra-
velling, and the consequence was that Mr. Jones, the
plaintiff, was thrown out, and had three of his ribs and?
his collar bone broken, and his shoulder blade fractured'
He was afterwards confined to bed for three weeks, sea
unable to follow his calling fcr four months. It was
proved that the plaintiff's salary was 51. a week, and
that while he was laid up by the injuries he had received
he had to employ people to perform his work. gts
medical bill was 81. odd; and the action was now brought
to recover compensation for the pain and agony whil
he had suffered, for the loss of his time and salary, e°
for the medical expense he had been put to.
There was the usual amount of conflicting evidence,
which it would be useless to give in detail ; suffice it t°
say, that the witnesses of each of the litigants imputed
the blame to the other.

Mr. Justice WILLIAars, in summing up the case, told
the jury that the question was whether the accident I'M
owing to any misconduct on the part of the defendants
or their servant. He could not help remarking that the
man who drove the lime waggon had not been calleat
which was singular, inasmuch as he might have thrown
some light upon the cause of accident. Assuming that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover, with respect to the
question of damages, the jury would say what they
thought was a reasonable amount of money to corn Pen:
sate the plaintiff for the bodily suffering he had endured,
and also for the loss of the money which he would have
earned if he had not sustained the injury in question.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and nn
their return, at half-past one o'clock, gave a verdict for
the plaintiff, damages 150/.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY)'
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
A PETTY CASE—PRATT V. PROCTOR.
This was an action to recover the small sum of
21. Os. 9d. for goods sold.
The Plaintiff's Attorney stated the case, and said that
he had subrcenaed a witness, who however did not str
pear, and would be called on his subccena; and he (the
Attorney) would give evidence, and prove an admissioei
The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was a most inconrepiell
course for the witness to get into the box, and no on"a
present to examine him.
The ATTORNEY said, all he had got to say was that
defendant had admitted the debt, and only said that,'
was a case which ought to have been taken into toe
County Court.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said, all that the jury bad
do was, to find for the amount claimed, if theyl3eliev`,
the evidence of the witness, which he saw no reason iu
doubt. They had nothing to do with the queition as $o
which Court it was brought into.
The jury gave a verdict of 21. Os. 9d.
AIRMAN V. CLOVER.
This was an action to recover of the defendant, an
auctioneer, at Swansea, the sum of 18/. Is. 3d., the ba-
lance of an account for money had and received on saw
of some property.
An account was put in, in which the defendant ad'
milted the above bum to be due, and a verdict was give°
for the amount.
The other cases were devoid of interest.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT•JUDGE.)
The Court s.it to day to try the prisoners who were at
large on bail.

William Collins, Maurice Foley, and Richard !French:
labourers, were indicted for assaulting a cabman named
Morgan, and Catherine his wife.
It appeared that prosecutor, with his wife and her
o
sister, having been out for a walk, called into tu
Northampton Arms, at Islington, for refreshment, whets
they found the prisoners, who accosted the prosecuto,"
rudely, then challenged him to " toss" for beer, all,
then knocked him down and kicked him. His wife 5.;
tempted to extricate him, when Collins, seizing a Plefr,
of board, struck her with it on the head. The wolnZ
fell, and one or more of the prisoners kicked her in '-
head and face.

The jury ijund Collins and Wrench Guilty, and Ac-
quitted Foley.
The JUDGE sentenced them to one month's impris°°-
ment, with hard labour.

`l'his closed the business of the sersion.
