FRANKFORT.

The Regent has appointed General VON PEucxEn
to the command of a corps of 12,000 men, who are to
garrison Frankfort.

HANOVER.

The Members of the First Chamber presented an
address to the King on the 11th, urging him to at
once convoke the Parliament.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES
Frederica still held out on the 19th.

ITALY.

The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 16th, states
that M. DE LESSEPS was the bearer of an order to
General OUDINOT, not to attempt to enter Rome,
unless invited by the inhabitants. In consequence
of this order, hostilities with the French were sus-
pended. M. DE LESSEPS was to have an interview
with the Triumvirs on the 16th. On the 13th, Rome
was suddenly alarmed by two violent detonations.
Every one flew to arms, thinking the enemy was at
the gates. But the cause of the alarm was soon found
to be a corps of French. troops, which, having
occupied the Via Flaminia, had prevented the
courier from passing. The latter had imme-
diately given notice of the fact to the soldiers of the
Roman corps of Engineers, who on being apprised of
the proximity of the enemy, fired the mines, and blew
up the bridge. General AVEZZANA has retired from
the command of the troops, but keeps the portfolio of
war, Col. ROSELLI is named Commander-in-Chief
of the Army.
The Riforma of Lucca states Jim-- Ancona, 10th,
that the extraordinary commissary of that town has
arrested as hostages two brothers of Monsignor
BEDINI, the Papal commissioner who accompanies
the Austrian expedition against Bologna, as also
several members of the MASTAI family, related to the
Porn, as reprisals for the arrest by the Austrians of
a member of the municipal deputation of Bologna:

Mr. Charles Mathews has engaged Mr. W. J.
Hurlston, who has appeared so successfully in the
amateur performances of the Whittington Club, and
will make his first appearance at the Lyceum, in a new
farce, written by Mr. J. P. Wooler, author of Founded on
Facts, &c., entitled Discharge your Tiger, on Thursday
neat, the 31st instant.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE11,7`..
C/7 Y, /? 7EP I'o 7BR LE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yestei day were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, ireludirtg 1,000 for export at.d
speculation, without alteration in prices.—Railway
Shares were exceedingly dull, and priees continued to
decline.
The statements relstive to the abundance of money,
have become much more general within the last few days,
and there is proof on all sides of their correctness. First
rate mercantile bills are discounted at 2,-1- to 2} per cent.,
and money upon the security of stock is not worth more
than 1 per cent. We can haidly expect but that this
should tell upon the circulation of the Bank of England,
and it is agreeable to find, upon reference to the weekly
balance-sheet made up to the 19th instant, that, the pri-
vate deposit; are not larger, because we may infer there-
from that parties are investing their surplus assets in
securities which, from the. recent depression in price,
and strict investigetion, appear to c tier some temptation,
or that they are enabled to employ a portion thereof in
commercial pursuits. Certain it is, that the business of
the Bank does not at present increase, and that the tem-
perary turn in the bullion tide has reached its limit,
with every probability of flowing steadily towards this
country, while the political affairs continue so unsettled
abroad. The following is a comparison between the
past and tho previous week:—

The rates at which bills of exchange on the principal
Continental cities were negotiated yesterday atternoon
were not quite so high in one or two cases, more iucli
nation to draw being exhibited, though the want of con-
fidence is still tett as a serious bar. On Paris the terms for
three month' paper were 25 65 to 70, on Trieste 12 12,
but nominal; on Hamburgh, 13 13 to 13k; and; on Am-
sterdam 12 2 to 2i.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the wet k to Thursday last were only 86,000
ounces of silver, all to the Continent, and 250 ounces of
gold coin to Belgium.
There has been an increased business doing to-day in
Public Securities, and the market is more buoy ant, sustain-
ing the improved tone remarked yesterday. Consols have
been 91; to and now are 91* j. Exchequer-bills
continue at 445. to 475. premium, and India Bonds at
71s. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have realised 901 to e.
In the foreign market there is not much doing. Mexi-
can have risen, being 30i .11, with the Coupons. Chilian
Three p(-1- Cents. are 52, and Equador Stock is at 3i.
R'tssian Bends have been 10li to 102, being decid. city
lower than they were a few weeks site:. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 15i to 16i-. Dutch Two-and-a Halt per
Cents. have been 48i to
Railway Shares are heavy again, and generally rather
lower, but there is very little doing. The provincial
markets being depressed, recourse is had more to the
metropolitan markets, which requires the support of more
buyers, and these, no doubt, would come tern ard if there
were greater certainty as to future dividends. We
know that beta are made that shares will
be lower yet, but this only increases the
necessity that holders should keep cool, investigate, if
thought desirable; but at least not to yield to undue de-
spondency or play into the hands of interested patties,
by sacrificing their property. Caledonian are heaviest
this mottling. The Foreign lines are dull and almost
nominal.
