ITALY.

A letter from Genoa announces that a Provisional
Government has been proclaimed in that city, and that
energetic measures have been adopted to repel the
Austrians.
The British Consul at Genoa has issued the follow-
ing notice :
The disorder which reigns in Genoa leads to the
impression that there is a desire to overturn the order of
things which exists in the states of the King of Sardinia,
and put in jeopardy the lives and property of English
citizens. In consequence I deem it my duty to rotes
against every act which may lead to such terriblep con-
sequences, and to declare that, the case occurring, the
English forces at anchor in the port will take all the
measures necessary to protect the subjects of her Bri-
tannic Majesty.

" Genoa, March 29."
RADErmor returned to Milan on the 29th, after an
absence of eleven days. The postal communication
between Lombardy and piedmont has been re-
established.

" T. Y. BROWN, British Consul.

The Tuscan Constituent Assembly met on the 27th
ult. in secret committee, to consult on measures for
the safety of the country. After a long. discussion it
was resolved that full power should be concentrated
in the hands of one individual, in order that he
should oppose with all the necessary energy the
dangers which threatened the country ; and it was
finally carried that these extraordinary powers should
be confided to GUERRAZZI for that purpose.
General PERoNE died at Turin on the 30th, from
the wounds he received at Novarra.
The following address of the Chamber of Deputies
of Sardinia to the King CHARLES ALBERT after his
abdication, was agreed to nem. con. in the sitting of
the 27th March :
" Amid the mysterious enmity of fortune, and the
ineffable grief of their country, the Deputies of the
sub-Alpine peopletoine to lay before you the expressions
of their respect for the majesty of misfortune: th,y
come in order to pay a sacred debt of gratitude, is the
name of all Italy.
•` We fully understand the depths of your sorrow, we

feel all tic wounds of your heart, as a kieg, a soldier,
and a cit'zen, nod we bow our bead before to
decision
tellicti you have adopfel. But if the way war loess of
fortune, sod the error a of Mari he vo impressed upon
ye'' tii• (1, z•poli.ezicy on lofty souls, they beve sun lvy not
.heken your faith in the cause of ee,icir you have, heen
hitherto the soelier, and are now the venerate:l martyr.
That glorious cause draws from your self denial new
arguments against the bleu; suspicions of party, and
110 ICS!.OIIt3 to the pees, n: arrd tettere geeerations, that
they neay learnt how its fleet triumph requires the great-
t st secritices. - To that holy cause your name, encircled
by the halo of glory and misfortune,. sill ever prove a
banner end a source of strength. Your career of glory
has not concluded—on every lip and in every heart aro
still resounding the magnanimous words that cheered our
first disasters last year—the cause of Italian independ-
ence is not yet lost.
"'lo any of the phases of that great cause you have
not been a stranger, and if you are now to disappear
from the arena of its unceasing struggles you will be
ever present to the thoughts and hopes of its champions.
" Yes, Sir, if the affectionate eyes of your people
shall seek you in vain among them, their admiration
and their lasting afflictions will always find their way to
your retirement. You will be with them in the Con-
stitution wherein your rights have been entwined with
our own, in the liberal institutions you have founded, in
the provident military dispositions towards an increase
of the army. You wed live in our memories, and in that
of posterity, as an unparalleled example held out to
Kines and to soldiers.
"You sha'l live in your august son and successor, who
will be proud to walk by the light of your example, and
whom you have taughe in laying down your crown,
the only conditions on whi..h, in our days, it may
be only borne.
" Sir, you have wished to anticipate the judgment of
history and posterity, and well you might do so. May
God grant you the peace of solitary retirement—of the
melancholy silence in which you wish to take shelter.
Many painful recollections, many glorious ones, will
follow you there. May the first glide softly away from
year heart; may the latter pour upon it the balm of con-
solation. We can pledge to you our steadfast word that
wherever you may go, you will always be followed by
the affections and respect of the sub-Alpine people, and
of that other unhappy people which it has been your
patriotic aim to make Italian once more, and to whom
the name of Charles Albert will ever be the symbol of
undying hope."
The Sardinian Chamber of Deputies met in Se-
cret Committee, on the morning of the 29th ult., and
at one o'clock both Chambers assembled, in the saine
hall, to receive King Victor Emmanuel, who pre-
sented himself to take the oath to the Constitution.
His Majesty having been ushered in, with the usual
ceremony, read in a firm voice the following oath,
required by the 22d article of the fundamental law :
" la presence of God I swear faithfully to observe the
Constitution, to exercise the royal authority only in vir-
tue of the laws, and conformably to their prescriptions
to render justice to each, and to govern in the sole view
of the interest, prosperity, and honour of the nation."
M. de Margherita then placed before the King
three copies of the oath, and his Majesty hiving
signed them, added—

In assuming the reins of the State, under circum-
stances of which I fully appreciate the gravity and bit-
terness, I have already informed the nation of my
intestions. The consolidation of our constitutional insti-
tutiens, tha security and honour of our common country
shall be the constant object of my thoughts, and I hope
to succeed, with the support of sllivine Providence and
your cu-operation. Being fully aware of the gravity of
my duties, I have accomplished in your presence the
solemn act of taking the oath, which shall direct my
future conduct."
The Minister of Justice next tendered the oath to
the Senators and Deputies, and announced that the
King had conferred on Prince Eugene de Savoie
Carignan the prerogatives and title of Royal Highness.
The King having retired, M. Pinelli, Minister
of the Interior, communicated to the Assembly a
royal decree proroguing the Parliament, during a few
days, in order to afford the Ministry time to inquire
into the real situation of affairs, and make it known
to the Chambers. The Concordia, however, is of
opinion that they will be dissolved,' and not called
upon to pronounce on the armistice.
In the forenoon of the 29th a deputation of the
Senate waited on the King, to whom the President
read the following address:—
" Sire,—The Senate, deeply grieved by recent events,
and jealous of expressing to your Majesty the satis•
faction and confidence witti which it hails the accession
to the throne of his ancestors of a prince no less dear
to the nation, who admires his brilliant qualities,
than to the army, in whose ranks he so often and so
nobly distinguished himself. Your glorious father, in
consummating his last and regretable sacrifice, has
crowned the virtues, which will ever render great in
Italy the name of the restorer of our liberties. Your
Majesty, charged with continuing that exalted mission,
may rely on the sincere co-operation of the Senate for
the maintenance and legal development of these same
liberties. The Senate requests you, in the meantime, to
accept the tribute of its homage and entire devotedness."
'I he King replied, with visible emotion—
" I thank the Senate for the sentiments it has ex-
pressed to me, and it may be certain that I will attend
to them. Our country has undergone and still under-
goes most painful and cruel trials. My hope and most
ardent desire was to have had it in my power to shed all
my blood for it, but that consolation was denied me.
To-day I must endeavour to heal as speedily and as
completely as possible our common wounds, and to bring
to light more fortunate days for the nation under the
liberal institutions which the King, my deeply regetted
father, so wisely granted. I have need, in order to accom-
plish this object, of the assistance of all honourable
men. It is, therefore, most agreeable to me to learn that
I can rely on the support of the Senate, and on that of
all classes of citizens. The evils which we have to re-
medy are immense, and immerse ought to be the assist-
ance of thaie who wish to remove them. I, on my part,
am ready to make every personal sacrifice—rely on toy
constancy and on my firmness as I rely on your intent-
gi nee and your patriotism."

The Opinione of Turin of the 30th ult. has the
following speculations in a leading article :
" As to Italy, the peace with the King of Sardinia
will be concluded on condition of his acceding to the
Italian Confederation, to be formed of the Lombardo-
Venetian, Tuscany, the Roman Status, and the Two Sici-
lies. Our Ministry and the future Parliament must re-
nounce the Lombardo-Venetian territory, and acknow-
ledge the right of Austria to it ; they must give up the
fortress of Alessandria to Austria, mo.lify our constitution,
and pay a certain number of millions, not leis than 30 nor
exceeding 100. In return for its adhesion to the Austro-
Italian League, Piedmont will perhaps obtain the duchies,
except that the castle of Piacenz s will be occupied by
the Austrians. Piedmont will also have to execute
the Giobertine intervention—that is to send soldiers
into Tuscany to restore order, and bring back the Grand:
Duke to Florence; while Kin,6, Bonaba (Naples) will do
the same with respect to the Pope, who in return will re-' cognise in the Austrians the right of occupying Ferrara
militarily. The Lombardo-Venetian will probably form
a state apart, with a tolerably liberal constitution, and
connected by certain conditions with the Austrian
monarchy."

SICILY.
A steamer from Sicily has arrived at Leghorn with
the intelligence that 700 of the Royal troops in gar-
rion at Messina have deserted to the Sicilians, taking
with them their arms, ammunition, and baggage.

In 'the case of this bankrupt, who was a licensed vic-
tualler in Upper Fitzroy-lquare, an application was made
by Mr. Sheard on behalf of the assignees, under the fol-
lowing circumstances. It appeared that a Mr. Wells had
been solicitor to the assignees, and about two years ago
recovered in an action, brought on their account, the sum
of 2501., which he declined giving up, alleging that he
held it till the costs had been settled.
Mr. SIIEARD submitted that Mr. Wells was not justi-
fied in detaining the money on such grounds.

consequence of the great respectability of his recom-

Mr. Field, the inspector, stated that he was not in a
condition to go into the evidence to-day, and from the
information he had received respecting other robberies,
he did not think he should be able to complete the
charges within a week or ten days.
Mr. Chirltscii said that he had been requested by
some Greek gentlemen to appear tor the prisoner, for the
purp,s.! of inducing the magistrate to admit him to bail,
whether in case of a further remand or a committal.
After some discussion,
Mr. JARDINE declined to accept bail at present, and
directed the prisoner to be delivered into the same cus-
tody until the day to which the case is remanded.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, and comprised about 6,000 Arne
rican at 3id. to 6d., 200 Perrams and Aluranhlms at 51
to 51d, and 400 Surats at 31.1. to 32,1 per lb. Toe
market closed with steadiness. Prices of American
have advanced id. since Friday last. There was a very
heavy market for Railway Share?, but the business done
was very small.
The accounts received from the Continental Stock
Markets are not of much interest. The Funds generally,
however, are reported as being firm.
There is a rumour in Mincing lane that the King of
Prussia has accepted the Imperial Crown.
A correspondent sends us the following relative to
Canada, and although the point involved is one upon
which there is great difference of opinion, we give the
statement on its own merits:—

" The public and private accounts from Canada are
such as to create great uneasiness in the public mind,
bath as to the social and political affairs in the colony.
It has been most unfortunate for Lord Elgin that he
did not summon to his council as Ministers
men of known discretion and prudence. Meet-
ings are contemplated in Upper Canada to petition
the Queen to allow a negotiation to take place
with the United States for annexation. This
bold step has been adopted in consequence of the
very general feeling of dissent among the English party
from the appropriation of the public revenue to indem
nify the Lower Canadians engaged in the rebellion.
Under every circumstance, the time selected to make
this public grant has been most unfortunate, for, inde-
pendent of the bad feeling it has created, the revenue is
by no means in a flourishing condition. On the
contrary, the falling off under the administration of the
French party now in power is alarming. The revenue
for 1847 amounted to £506,826
In 1848 —.

"It is generally believed that Lord Elgin will be re-
called by Earl Grey. It was apprehended that if Lord
Elgin gave assent to the Bill granting compensation for
the losses sustained by the Lower Canadians, that his
Lordship would be roughly treated on his way to the
Rouse of Assembly."
The above may be received as a matter of information,
not of opinion on our part, because necessarily we cannot
be supposed to understand the feeling in Canada so well
as those who have direct relations with the colony, and
who cer:ainly appear to be very much dissatisfied.
There will be a suspension of business from this even-
ing until Wednesday next in the produce markets, owing
t) the usual Easter holidays.
Many parties have already left town to make holiday,
and consequently the Stock Market is dull, although the
foreign accounts read tolerably well. We have nothing
later respecting Denmark, which appears now to be the
main source of anxiety. Consols have been heavy at
921 to for Transfer and for Time, being now 924 4.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 445. to 48s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have not been
large, and Mexican Stock has been fiat owing to sales
nude, but, as we believe, rather on time than specula-
tion. The prices have ranged from 301 to 304. Spanish
Active Bonds have been 161; to 164; and the Three per
Cents. 304 to 11. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 98
to 4. Brazil Bonds have been quoted 794 to 80; and
Dutch Two-and.a•Half per Cents. 50 to 4.
Railway Shares, without any particular alteration, are
flat again.
