" ORDER OF THE DAY.

" Soldiers !—Yesterday a fresh encounter of our troops
with the enemy was signalized by a fresh victory.
" His Excellency General Bava, whilst hastening to
Borgsoforte in aid of the threatened Modenese, with the
Queen's Brigade, the Genoese Regiment of Cavalry, two
batteries and the company of the 2d battalion of the
Bersaglieri (Lions), having beard of the precipitate re-
treat of the Austrians, on the mere announcement of
his arrival on that side of the I'o, anxiously returned
with his corps to Governolo—a place of passage across
the Lower Alineio, with a bridge of masonry, which was
said to be strongly occupied by the enemy.
"A sharp skirmish took place there, the result of which
was the complete expulsion of the Austrians from Go-
vernolo, and the capture of two standards, four pieces of
artillery,
and more than 400 prisoners.
`iSoldiers ! This victory of your brother warriors
redounds to the common glory of the army, and proves
that wheresoever and with whatever part of our troops
the enemy
can be encountered, they find it impossible
to resist the valour of the Italians, and that the inde-
pendence of the country is now infallibly insured by
your irresistible arms.

" By order of'the King,
(Signed) " SALASCO,
" Chief of the Staff.
" Head quarters of Marmirolo, July 10, 1848."
From this fortunate success something more than
mere military glory will accrue to the Italian
cause, as it secures to the army the only passage
across the Lower Mincio held by the Austrians,
and renders it impossible, or, at all events, extremely
difficult, to attack the Italians in flank on that line.
The enthusiasm of the gallant and patriotic warriors
is great, the achievement of Governolo being only
viewed as the prelude of new and still more signal
victories.

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEV IN BENGAL.—By re-
ference to the Bengal Army List we find his Excellency
General Lord Gough, G.C.8., assumed command of the
Bengal army on the Bth August, 1843; consequently his
time of command, five years, has nearly expired. From
this, and private sources, we gather that a new Com-
mander-in-Chief is about to be appointed.—Allen's
Indian Mail.

MURDER IN MANCIIRSTER.—A man named W.
Adamson (yesterday, after a quarrel) shot a woman,
with whom he had been living for some time, named
Diana Clarke. She died almost immediately. The man
TM committed for wilful murder.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO 71-IRE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
quiet. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares
have been flat, with but a limited business.
The accounts respecting the growing potato crops
are still conflicting, but calculated to excite anxiety
under circumstances.

We have not sooner had an opportunity of noticing
certain interesting statistics relative to the trade of New
York, but now subjoin them, as, in the event of the po-
tato crops proving deficient, there would be a renewal
of grain imports:—
The aggregates exportation in the first six months
of 1847, exceeded, by several millions of dollars the ex-
ports for the same period this year, notwithstanding the
large shipments of specie this season. The most inter-
esting and important result of all is exhibited in the
annexed table, as it shows the balance against us on the
foreign trade of this port, for the first six months in
each of the past three years.

Excess of Imports over receipts 21,617,074 22,992,155 22,633,796
This is a most extraordinary statement ; it shows a
balance in 1847 and 1848, varying but 358,359 dollars
from each other, after the opposite movements in specie,
each year, to such an extent. So far as this point is
concerned, the balance is pretty uniform, but we cannot
say as much of the foreign trade of the country at large,
for the same period. There are so many influences
brought to bear upon the imports and exports of the
country, that it is nonsense to attempt to attribute the
fluctuations from year to year solely to any particular
measure of the Government, or to any movement in the
markets.
Scarcely any business has been transacted in the Eng-
lish Funds to-day, but the market still remains de-
pressed, owing to the accounts received from Ireland,
coupled with the alarm occasioned by the progress of the
potato disease. Consols are now quoted at 854 to 86*
for Money, and at 85i to 86-11 for the Account. Exche-
quer•bills remain steadily ;maintained at 425. to 465.

per Cents. 86 to * and 87.
The chief characteristic of the Foreign Stock Market
is the extremelinactivity of business, and prices have not
in any one instance undergone any remarkable change.
Even the best of the dividend-paying securities are al-
most altogether neglected. Mexican may be quoted 17
to * ; Spanish Actives. nominally, 11i to 12 ; and the
Three per Cents. 21i ; Venezuela, 14 to 17 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 44 ; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 18 ; and Russian, 98 to 100.
In Railway Shares much dulness prevails, the late
rapid reaction in the value of Consols having again
turned the current of operations in this market from
purchases to sales. The orders from the provinces have
since Monday last mostly affected quotations. North
Western are 121 to 126; South Western, 46 to 48;
Midland Counties, 101 to 103; York and North Mid-
land, 66 to 68.
