NAPLES AND SICILY.

A letter from Florence of the 17th, states that at
Naples Kink FERDINAND is so unpopular that a
aleversement appears inevitable.
Intelligence has been received from Palermo to the
10th. A letter of that date says—
.t,'` Immediately after the decree had passed, declaring
says—
that the King of Naples, and all his family, were .for
ever removed from the throne of Sicily, all the bronze
aver
of the Bourbon race which existed in this city
ref(' overthrown, and carried to the foundries to be con-
i~led into cannon. At Messina, also, the same process
11 to take place. Only two hare been preserved, that of
4_oll John of Austria, the conqueror of Lepanto, a vic-
MjY which preserved the islands and coasts of the
editerranean from a new invasion of the Mahometans ;
and that of Charles 111., because he was a just and good
,4tiog. The sitting of the Sicilian Chamber, which
ts day pronounced the memorable decree above
alluded to, was presided over by the Marquis de Tor-
vursa. 'The Minister of Foreign Affairs declared that
Sicily wished to form Inn of the Italian League, and
That she would know how to baffle the intrigues of the
Xing of Naples. M. PaternOstro said, that the beat
plan was to act with decision; and during the present
sitting to vote the deposition of Ferdinand of Bourbon,
and. all his dynasty, fro es-the throne of Sicily. M.
Lafarina declared that he was -of opinion that Sicily
could choose between only two families, that of Tuscany
and that of Savoy. • niit first of all,' said he, • lot us
think of ourselves'; let us organise our forces, and let
the whole world learn that we are determined to be free.
The future will decide if we are to be a constitutional
state under an Italian. prince,, or a republic.' After
some further observations from 11. Perez and M. Inter-
itonato, the decree was drawn up and voted forthwith.
When this act was known outside, the greatest possible
joy iras,mauifested, and the loudest cries were uttered
against the bombarding King (re bombardalore). It
'.itait'thea that the people .proceeded to tear down the
statues."

he Government Contract of 100,00 G gallons of
for the navy, was again taken yesterday by Messrs.
4"11•111 Hart, and Son, of Fenchurch-atreet.

"%lONE and 'COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liierpool yesterday was rather
heavy, but without any change in prices. Sales, 5,000
bales, including 4,000 bales American, at 31d. to sd. per
lb. In Railway Shares business was limited, but the
market was rather firmer.
Doubt is expressed as to the accuracy of the intelli-
gence from Rendsburg, but it is nevertheless deemed
probable that the Prussians may have obtained some
advantage.
From Paris the advises are still rather satisfactory,
and the probable ascendancy of the moderate party is.
regarded as most important in the interest of the indus-
trial community of France.
The Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum
is said to have been taken at Is. 7d. per gallon.
There are so many English capitalists, large and '
small, interested in Belgian railways that the remarks
contained in the circular, letter of a party having a
stake in the Sambre and Meuse Railway may prove ac-
ceptable ,to many, without, however, being taken for
more than they are worth, because they ire ex parte.
The writer, who professes to have personally inspected
the line, suggests that at the next meeting of proprietors
it should be resolved to nominate a committee of the
shareholders, to
_investigate the affairs of the company,
and. to report generally thereon, with instructions to
ascertain particularly,
lst. The amount already expended upon the line, dis-
tinguishing the amount expended upon that portion
about to be opened for traffic, viz., the main line to %Val-
court and the Morialmi and Leneffe branches, and the
amount expended upon the other portions thereof.
2d. The additional capital required to construct the
main line with the Morialme branch with a double line
of rails, distinguishing the amount required for con-
structing the line so as, to receive the double line, and
that required for the cost of the second line of rails.
3d. The propriety of applying to the Belgian Govern-
ment to extend the time for completing the works until
the expiration of five years, and applying the whole
resources of the company to the completion and work-
ing of the-line to Walcourt with the Morialme and
Lencffe branches. .

The Corn Market has been well supported to-day.
In the English Funds there has been much firmness
to-day, and the quotations are rather better, Consols
being 82; 4 for Money, and 821 4 for Account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter. per. Cents. have realised 811
to 82, and the Three per Cents., sot to 81. Bank Stock
is worth 187 to 189. Excllcquer-bills have been worth
40s. to 445. premium.
In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have been
limited. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 124, and
the Three per Cents. 211 to .22. Portuguese Four per
Cents. brought 16, and Brazilian 68. Mexican Stock
is worth 15 to 154. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 401.
Railway Shares keep steady. Brighten have been
rather higher.. There is very little doing.
