LEVANT MAIL.

Accounts have been received from Constantinople
of the 15th, and from Athens, of the 18th.
The news from Greece is not of the slightest interest.
At Constantinople, on the 11th, a terrific fire oc-
curred, which destroyed 300 houses.

ITALY.

TUSCAN Y.

The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has at length yielded
to the wishes of his subjects, and appointed a Demo-
cratic Ministry. The New Ministry is composed of
MONTANELLI for Foreign Affairs and President of
the Council ; GUERAZZI for the Interior; MAzzom,
Grace and Justice; ZAMIELLI, Public Instruction.
The GRAND DUKE has also promised the immediate
convocation of the Italian Constituent. This pro-
ceeding of the GRAND DUKE has caused the greatest
satisfaction among the people.

The insurrection in Baesano against the Austrians
still continues, and there have been risings at several
places in the Vulteline. The whole of Lombardy is
ripe for revolt.

Great improvements are making at the Guildhall,
to increase the convenience of the company at the
approaching Lord Mayor's day—it being intended
to open a new entrance through the Courts to afford
a better access to the Hall, and also to give greater
accommodation and protection from any cold wind
while waiting for the carriages. It is understood
that all her Majesty's Ministers will honour the Lord
Mayor with their presence, and that a large number
of naval heroes will be present in honour of the naval
Lord Mayor—perhaps the first old sailor who ever
obtained that digr;ty !

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. 1
The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was
ex`-crisive, but holders supplied the market sparingly.
The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000
on speculation and 500 for export. Prices of Ael,a-can
were also higher from the lowest: point on Friday.—
Railway Snares improved, in the morning, but st4ler:
appearing did not leave off quite so well. The rise at
the outport has not been equal to that which has occur-
red in London.
The continental advices are again to-day the object
of great interest, and the extremities to which matters
have arrived at Vienna have caused the termination of •
the contest to be regarded as much more proximate
than was the case a short time back. The opinion
seems to be, that the Imperialists will triumph, disunion
prevailing in the capital. The election for President
in France is, however, more a subject of interest
here than any other in connexion with foreign affairs. '
It is a matter for sincere congratulation, that the
German states, in accordance with France and Holland,
are likely to relieve the navigation of the Rhine fro/a
the trammels imposed upon it, and to abolish the tolls,
&c., levied at various points, and therefore most ob-
noxious to traders, as much from the mode of levying
them, as from the amount. The measure, when brought
into opetation, will be some step towards free-trade
principles. A circumstance still more cheering, how-
ever, is that the states of the Zollverein have deter-
mined to admit British manufactures at the
duties levied before the advance was made to
protect German fabrics from the effect of the
French bounty system. England and Belgium now
stand, therefore, in their right position as favoured na-
tions, trading upon something like reciprocal terms, to
which they are so fairly entitled, as having never en-
forced the protection or bounty system against Germany,
and all duties surcharged will be returned to our mer-
chants. It thus becomes extremely problematical
whether, even at a great loss to the nationel treasury,
France is in a position to do good to its industrious
population, by bolstering expedients opposed to the en-
lightened commercial tenets of the present day.
A ship (one of the monthly " liners") arrived direct
from Australia, furnishes the Post-office mail with let-
ters and papers dated June 14. Business at that period
was tolerably good, although we know from accounts
a little later, per overland mail, that the markets sub-
sequently became more inactive. The grazing interest,
owing to the low price of wool, is doing so badly in the
Sydney district, and we fear also at Port Philip, that
absolute prosperity could not he expected.
There has been considerable excitement again to-day
among all parties connected with the Share Market, and
the !greatest difficulty is stated to exist in procuring the
delivery of shares purchased.
.We can, of course, feel no
sympathy with the gamblers who, by depressing the
market value of other persons' property, have them-
selves incured enormous losses, that will strip them of
their ill-earned gains; but there is another class who are
really entitled to commiseration—viz., those who sold
(under the apprehension that their shares would become
almcst valueless), after having held, perhaps, for years.
The Funds are buoyant again to-day, and there is a
favourable opinion entertained of them, chiefly in view
of the abundance of money. Consols have been marked
85:1 to 86k, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 854 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 841 to 25.
Exchequer-bills have touched 468. premium for those
dated in March. Bank Stock has risen to 1881 and 189.
India Bonds of 1,000/. are 435. premium.
Speculation in Foreign Stocks is quite neglected. In
Spanish Bonds not a bargain is reported. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been up to 24. Mexican have
been firm at 21 to Brazilian Small Bonds aro at 72.
Dutch Two-ace-a-half per Cents. bring 45} t.
Railway Shares have been in great request, and there
is much excitement. The settlement of the account is
exceedingly heavy. Midland have touched 85 to 86;
North-Western, 120 to 122, &c.
