.Adminiatfaier of the Empire. The national hymn
once more struck up, and was sung in chorus by the
immense multitude.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

UNION OF VENICE WITH SARDINIA.
The forces of CHARLES ALBERT have been for some
time concentrating at Cremona, and there is every
probability that by this time a decisive action has
been fought with the'Austrians in the neighbourhood
of Legnano. Intelligence has been received from
Venice to the 3d instant. On that day the union of
the Venetian provinces with Sardinia was proclaimed,
in accordance with the resolutions of the Chamber,
the Civic Guard, and the people.
The Avvenire d' Italia of Milan, of the Gth, an-
nounces from Peschiera (30th ult) that CHARLES
ALBERT has changed his plan of operations, and
given up the idea of uttacking Verona. His present
plan appears to be, to leave a body of 25,000 men to
defend the line of the Mincio, while the main body
would pass the Po at Borgeforte, traverse a part of
the Modenese, pass the Po again at Brescello or
Ferrara, and deliver the Venetian provinces from the
presence of the Austrians. After these operations
Verona would be blockaded. The present inaction
is relieved now and then by skirmishes with the ad-
vanced post. On the Ist. inst. the Duke of GENOA
repulsed the Austrians at Rivoli.

BLOCKADE OF TRIESTE.
Admiral ALBINI, Commander-in-Chief of the Ita-
lian fleet before Trieste, has replied to the protest of
the German Consuls, that he should recognise Trieste
as appertaining to the Germanic Confederation when
the Austrian flag was substituted by that of the Ger-
man empire. He, however, notified his intention of
sending the protest to the King CHARLES ALBERT
by the route of Ancona, but that he should continue
the blockade until he received instructions to the
contrary. The Sardinian fleet consists of 13 ves-
sels, one of which, the San Michele, is a noble frigate
of 64 guns; the other vessels carry 24 guns. The
Bellone, of 52 guns, is the largest vessel of the Aus-
trian fleet, and she is backed by 11 gun brigs.

CITY, QUARTER TO 711 REE
There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The market
had an upward tendency. American realised 31d. to
sd. per lb. Railway Shares were better.
Accounts of June 5, from Pernambuco state that the
exchange on London was 25d. for sixty days' bills, with
very little doing. Freight to Liverpool 31. and 51. per
cent, for sugar.
The first entire cargo of West India pine apples, this
season, by sailing vessel, has arrived. At the Bahamas
this article of export has now assumed some importance,
and the accounts just received mention that property
was becoming more valuable, and that one estate, which
yields annually half a million of pines, would shortly
be offered for sale in England.
The Grantham Bank has declared a first dividend of
10s. in the pound.
The Peruvian Bondholders, at their meeting yester-
day decided upon rejecting the paltry terms offered by
the Finance Minister, and decided rightly, as we think.
They have the support of Lord Palmerston and the ad-
vantage of the cooperation of Mr. Addams, the British
Minister at Lima. Experience has shown that " conver-
sions" are dangerous, both in principle and practice,where
guarantees alreadygiven are to be resigned, and much less
valuable security is offered for the performance of the
new agreement. The Peruvian Government is fully in
a position to carry out an equitable compromise, and
from what we observed yesterday of the temper of the
meeting, the bondholders desire nothing more. They
are not hard taskmasters, as their patient endurance dur-
ing many years sufficiently testifies, and it must go forth
to the world that national faith, if not respected abroad,
shall at least be considered here as a thing not lightly
to be estimated.
The stale of the Colonial Bank, as appears from the
report of the directors, is still far from flourishing. The
sad prostration of credit in the colonies has entailed
such losses upon the establishment as it will need a long
time to redeem, but there is still some hope, aad a further
trial will be given.
The Corn Market is heavy to-day.
Money continues abundant, and railway debentures
are taken up more freely.
The English Stock Market has been firm again, with
a moderate business doing, and in the absenee of any
particular foreign news. Consols are 87k to 87k for
present transfer, and 874- to 87k for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 41s. to 445. premium. The New
Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87i. to 87k.
Bank Stock is worth 194.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
very limited. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted
114, and the Three per Cents. 21k. Mexican Bonds
have been at 17; Brazilian are 68t; Russian Stock is
99k; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 45 to k.
Railway Shares are firm.
