SWEDEN.

On the 12th instans the credit of two millions of
thalers called for by the KING was voted by the no-
bility and the order of peasants. The Council of
State sat for six hours on that day under the
of the KING. It wai announced that the
troops would occupy the islands in order
tpBhrwaetseidtdike,senhcpyaish army might be able to march in full
force against the Germans.

I T AL-Y-.
LOMBARDY.

The Turin journals of the 21st of May state that
tbt Piedmontese artillery had dismounted some of
the Austrian pieces of artillery at Peschiera.

ROME.

`Letters from Civita Vecchia represent the intelli-
gence from Rome as being of an alarming character.
The Ministry was dissolved, and there were fears
that the events of the Ist of May would be repeated.
BOZZELLI was entrusted with tho formation of the
new Ministry.

. NAPLES.
.The accounts from Naples are truly horrible, and
prepared as we were to expect falsehood and treachery
from a Bourbon, we must confess that we were not
prepared to find even a Bourbon KING openly en-
tering into a compact with avowed and professional
thieves and robbers for the plunder and murder of
the industrious and honest portion of his subjects, in
order that he himself might be permitted to indulge
with impunity in the luxury of perjury. Queen
CsousTINA of Spain is under infinite oblige-
tiOns to her brother, the King of NAPLIIS. She
is not, after all, the basest of the Bourbons. The
following is the account of the massacre of Naples :
" On Saturday, the 13th, in the morning, the deputies
were assembled in the Salle de Monte Olivetto, in pre-
paratory session, to modify the form of the oath to be
taken at the opening of Parliament. This oath was in
these terms—" I swear fidelity to the King and Consti-
tution of 29th January.' The Deputies were opposed
to this form, because it was not in consonance with the
concessions of 3d April. Saturday and Sunday passed
in negotiations. In the evening, at eleven o'clock, it
was announced that the Kiug would not modify the
form.

"The Deputies, to the number of 80, met, declared
themselves in permanence, and sent a deputation to the
Kirrg to treat as to a modification. The King refused. The
national guard went in great numbers to Monte Olivetto
to persuade the Deputies to persevere. About midnight
another deputation was sent to the palace, when the
King demanded time. A modification of the oath was
then proposed, in which a reservation of the rights con.
f erred by the decree of the 3d of April should be made.
"The King pretended to accept this, but the Chamber
learned that the troops had, meanwhile, been ordered
cut, and force being thus resorted to, all conciliation
became impossible. Soon after midnight
.the National
Guard commenced constructing barricades. At half-
past vne the generale was beaten, and at two the troops
—ii.fentry, cavalry, and artillery—issued from their
barracks, and occupied the spaces around the palace, the
male, and the market.

• " The King, being informed of the construction of
the barricades, ordered the soldiers to withdraw, and
consented to the Parliament being opened without any
oath; this formality was to have taken place with ex-
planations on the subject of the statute.
" The National Guard, however, refused to lower the
barricades, except on the condition of the abolition of
the Chamber of Peers, the surrender of the fortresses,
and the iemoval of the troops from the capital. This
being declined, the troops were again ordered out, and
the squares of the Palace and other places were
covered with armed forces, including a great quantity of
artillery.
At nine o'clock the Swiss troops were drawn out
around the castle. At half-past nine there was an ap-
bbeytr aac;eidde,n commencedt when the National
Guard,
ap-
parent movement to retreat, but about eleven o'clock a
musket was
believing Discharged itself'
" The Swiss and the other troops then opened a mur-
derous fire of musketry by battalions, and the artillery
commenced a murderous discharge of grapo ; the con-
flict, in fact, became general. At the barricades of San
Fernando and San Bridgida the National Guards sus-
yielding an inch of ground.
ooun
to the
tamed a fire of musketry and artillery for three hours
without
commencement, the lower orders seemed dis-
posed take the side of the National Guard, but being
itht
offered by the King and the troops the privilege of pil-
lage they took the other side. Doors and gates of shops
and private houses were soon forced, and a general pil-
lage and massacre commented to cries of 'Viva el Rey!'
given by three guns from the
flagartetdack was
was raised.
" Unheard-of atrocities were perpetrated by the lszza-
roni and the troops. They rushed into the private houses,
and massacred the inhabitants without distinction of age
fTohrte, signal
whena tolife
or sex, flinging the bodies of their victims from the
windows. In one house were shot a father, mother,
and four children. Other victims were dragged alive
through the streets to be butchered, struck as they went
along, and insulted by the agents of the police and the
soldiers, who compelled them to cry Viva el Rey.'
When they refused, they were pricked in the face by
the points of the bayonets. The royal guard murdered
two sons of the Marquis Vassatori in his own palace ;
the father went stark mad. The palace was sacked.
The emissaries of Del Caretto, and, according to some
accounts, Del Caretto himself; were employed in goad-
ing o a the rabble to these acts of atrocity. Several per-
sous known to entertain liberal opinions were dragged
from their houses and shot.
" The massacre continued for eight hours. The hos-
pitals were filled with wounded. In one Swiss regiment
alone there were 800 killed and wounded, of which 30
were officers. Government was proceeding to disarm
the National Guard.
" The aspect of the city was deplorable. It seemed to
be converted into one vast tomb.
" The correspondents of the French journals say that
the French admiral, Baudin, expressed the greatest
indignation at the conduct of the King, and anuomaced
that treaties and the law of nations having been vio-
lated by 'the Neapolitan government, he would give one
hour to stop the disorder and guarantee the inviola-
bility of persons and properties; that otherwise he
would bring his fleet from Castel Mare, and disembark
9,000 men to defend the rights of humanity and nations.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet;
sales, 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway shares were
rather in favour of buyers.
The continental arrivals this morning furnish no
intelligence of importance, but there is a better feel-
ing in some respects with regard to political
matters. The probability of an arrangement of the
Danish :question, although it will be for the German
Confederation to ratify it, has afforded satisfaction, and
from France the accounts are more promising for the
Railway shareholders. There is an important matter,
however, not to be lost sight of, viz. that the rejection
of the spoliation project, will be another mortification
to the Executive Government that may result in their
resignation. The Naples accounts excite a feeling
of unmitigated disgust here, as well as at
Paris, and even if irregular, the humane in-
terference of the French Admiral at Naples, is
hailed with pleasure. The French Assembly seems
likely to take up the question, but we think it may fairly
be left to the Italians at large. City men who know
well the character of Ferdinand, conceive that his expul-
sion must inevitably occur.
The Colonial produce markets have been rather firmer
this week, and there has been a steady business done for
consumption, although the " races" have interfered with
the public sales.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts seem
rather more favourable, but it is home orders chiefly
that afford employment at present. For export there is
very little doing. It is expected that there will be in-
creased shipments to India and America—prospering,
we may do a good stroke of business this year with
brother Jonathan. We have plenty of cash to buy or
execute orders.
There is a heavy market for grain, and prices are
rather tending downwards, owing to the large arrivals.
The Public Securities have been firm this morning,
although Stock is still rather more plentiful than it
was. Thus Consols have been 841 to 1 for transfer,
and 841 to i for account. The possibility of the Spanish
Ambassador being ordered to quit England should Sir
Henry Bulwer be exonerated from blame will probably
deter money purchases at present. Exchequer-bills
have been lower again, viz., 425. to 375. premium.
Bank Stock is 191 to 193. The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 831 to 1.
In the Foreign Market business is excessively dull.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been done at 12, and the
Three per Cents. at 211 to i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have realised 41 to 42, and the Four per
Cents. 611. Portuguese Four per Cents. are nominally
164 to 174. Mexican Stock is worth 151 to /I.
Railway Shares have not moved decidedly, but in
some instances they are flatter, viz., North-Western,
Midland and Great Western. South-Western have
been supported, and also South-Eastern, &c.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord
Chancellor sat in his court at Westminster, to-day, at ten
o'clock.
IN THE MATTER OF THE LUDLOW CHARITIES.
This case was spoke to at some length to-day, and the
Lord Chancellor said he wculd pen out his decree, in order
that there might be no question among the parties.
THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD V. THO3IAS SLINGSHT DUN-

COMB; ESQ., M.P.
The appal in this case, from the decree of the Vice-
Chancellor of England, ordering Mr. Duncombe to execute
the disentailing deed, was appointed by their Lordships to
be heard ( n Monday nest.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal notices.
Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the other
equity courts.
