A letter from Naples of the 28th says—
" The news of the insurrection of Lombardy reached
us on the 25th, and as soon as it became known the
people went en masse to the Austrian embassy, tore
down the imperial .arms which decorated the **deg
dragged them to the Place della Vittoria, and burned
them. From thence the crowd went to the hotel of the
Minister Bozaelli, crying .4 Down with the .4inistry
Down with Bozzelli, the renegade, the traitor to the
country !' In the morning of the 26th, more thtbil,
three thousand persons assembled near the Row
Palace, with two tricolour flags and a Lombardian flag'
crying Down with the Ministry! Succour for 0,1
Lombards!' The cavalry was immediately ranged
before the gate of the Palace, and ordered to prepare
for a charge ; but this demonstration increase':
the exasperation ; the crowd at every moment
became greater, and the cries were more menacing'
Thereupon M.
,Gabriel Ptipd, colonel of the Nation.
Guard, went from the Palace, and in the name of the
King promised that the Ministry should be cbangto
and that orders should be given to assist the Lombard* '4
In the evening of the 26th the people assembled apt*
with the intention of burning the arms of the Russia°
embassy, but the Swiss troops had received orders t,
oppose this project. At eight o'clock in the evening'
the crowd assembled before the hotel of M. Serra Cr
priola, and subsequently before those of the other IV
nisters, uttering the same cries of Down with the
Ministry !' All the Ministers have given in their resit
nations, which have been accepted, but-the composition
of a new Cabinet encounters grave difficulties, because.
it is desired not to abandon old habits. However, if the
King does not act quickly, the people may say to 110
It is too late!' and act in his place."

t.t Y and COMiiIERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

. -
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
hales. There was no particular alteration in the mar-
ket. Railway Shares had a downward tendency. There
was an absence of demand, and lower prices were sub-
mitted to.

The markets for produce and manufactures suffer
materially by the political agitation being so industriously
fomented; and there are very unfavourable accounts from
Manchester and other places. The suspension of Birley,
Corrie, and Co., is confirmed, and Mr .Bauer, of Man-
chester and Amsterdam, has suspended, but whether
only temporarily remains to be seen, as a period of three
weeks has been allowed for the purpose of his agent in
England communicating with him. It is most unfor-
tunate that at this time, when we have abundance of
money, low prices for staples, and many other advan-
tages, that confidence should be shaken by the senseless
proceedings of disloyal men.
The West India accounts are satisfactory in regard
to the weather, but nothing more.
The following are some particulars of an important
branch of trade:—

"Iron—ln Welch and Staffordshire (although the
unsettled state of Continental affairs has les,ened the
amount of current business) the price has not been so
materially affected as might have been anticipated,
several of the makers being well supplied with orders
previously taken. Makers of rails,shew no disposition
to reduce prices.
"Scotch .pig iron has however declined very much,
partly owing to the expectation that considerable quan-
tities bought during the winter, and intended for ship-
ment during the spring and summer to Germany, may
be thrown upon the market for re. sale, and partly to
the circumstances that some large holders have been
selling their stocks. Considerable business was done
from 48s per ton down to 425, cash for all No. 1, and in
some instances for inferior brands 40s per ton was ac•
cepted. The market has again rallied to about 41. s to
42s mixed Nos., and 42s to 43s per ton all No. 1.
" These prices have drawn the attention of speculators
and consumers to the article, as they are under the cost
of production, while the stock of Scotch pig iron is much
smaller than for several years past, and the makers who
are supplied with orders are not sellers at current rates.
"Spelter has sustained a very heavy fall in price.
Political events in France, which country is one of the
largest consumers of the article, have entirely destroyed
the usual demand from that quarter for Silesian and
Belgian Spelter, nearly the whole of which is conse-
quently expected to find its way to this market. Busi-
ness is said to have been done so low as 121. 10s. per ton
on the spot, and 121. per ton for arrival, but since the
sale of a large parcel at 131. 10s. per tcn the market hi,s
assumed a somewhat firmer aspect. The low price has
caused the English makers to blow out their furnaces,
and as it is under the cost of production on the Conti-
nent, the attention of speculators has been turned to-
wards it."

The revenue accounts are of so satisfactory a charac-
ter, under circumstances, that they afforded a topic for
cheerful conversation among the City men, but political
events seem to have stifled the importance of every other
consideration, though we hope only temporarily.
The English Securities have been very heavy, and
there is a further material decline. The resumption
of transfers, after the closing of the books during the
dividend calculations, has brought forward sellers, and
Consols are affected likewise. There are reports also
as to intended delivery of Stock by large holders ; but,
of course, during a period of uneasiness, the speculators
for a fall are very active. Consols have been 80i to 801
for present Transfer, and the same for Account. Exche-
quer-bills continue to advance, money being placed
in them for want of any other medium. The
premium has been 403. to 443. Bank Stock has been
worth 1831 to 186. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents, have been 801 to 791.
Foreign Stocks are all lower. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 91 to 10, and the Three per Cents., 171 to 4.
Mexican Bonds are 141 to 141. Dutch Two- and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 341.
In Railway Shares there has been very little doing,
and prices are flat.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY )
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Buracum.L.)
RORRY V. ROWCROFT.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
191. 14s. 6d., the balance of an account for literary work
performed for the defendant. The plaintiff is a gentle-
man in the legal profession, and the defendant was pro-
prietor of Hood's Magazine. The claim was for a series
of articles furnished to the magazine in 1845 and 1846
under the title of " The Bar of England." ,
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. Harrison, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, proved
that he had seen the defendant on several occasions, and
the latter admitted that the amount was due, and he
also instructed witness to take out a summons to stay
proceedings on payment of the debt and costs. A. sum-
mons was taken out, and left with defendant's solicitors,
but it was not returned.

The defendant cross-examined the witness, who said
that it was probable that he (witness) ;.had suggested
that the summons should be taken out on defendant
stating that he wished for time to pay.
(A letter signed by the defendant was put in, acknow-
ledgii g the n-ceipt of the first article, and offering six
guineas for a sheet of 16 pages.)
The witness produced the numbers, and pointed out
the articles, intttul d " The Bar of England, from the
papers of the late J. E. A., Esq." Did not know that
they were taken from the papers of the late Mr.
Adolphus.
The defendant addressed the jury, and said that the
plaintiff, when he proposed to supply the articles, said
that they would be written from the papers of the late
Mr. Adolphus, and it was only in that belief that he
received the
papers and gave them insertion in the ma-
gazine, and it was not until after all the articles had
been inserted and he had given up the proprietorship of
the magazine that he heard they were not taken from
any such papers, and he (defendant) believed they
were not original, or had, at all events, been published
before. He would read an article in the Moining Post
of the 4th of August, 1845, and then one of the ar-
ticles in the magazine in September, 1845, and then
