LOMBARDY A.ND VENICE.
The report of a battle having tiken place between
the Piedmontese and Austriani is not confirmed by
the Italian papers which have arrived. They state,
however, that the communications between :Mantua
and Verona are completely open to the Austrians
who cross the Adige at Legnano.
The Dicta Italiana of bologna of the Bth, states
that on the 6th General PEPE ordered the two
Bolognese battalions, and the battalion of Lom-
bardy, to march to Brondolo, to attack the body
of Austrians stationed there. The General him-
self male a sally to destroy the works begun
by the enemy against Maighera. The results of
these two operations are not known. Letters from
Vicenza announce that two-thirds of the population
have emigrated ; that the Austrians have imposed
new contributions, and that a great mortality prevails
among the 20,000 men stationed in that town.
The linparziale of Venice of the sth, states that in
consequence of the repeated refusal of MANIN and
TOMASEO to resume the Executive power, the follow-
ing Ministry has been named by the Assembly :

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday had
been active. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of
which 6,000 were American, at 34d. to 54c1. per lb., at
fully previous rates. In Railway Shares only a mode-
rate business was transacted, and the market was very
firm. Holders in some instances demanded higher
prices.
There are no arrivals to day with news of any parti-
cular interest, the ship letters not being generally of
later date. We are glad, however, to notice the most
favourable reports upon the state of the crops on the
continent, as well as in the United Kingdom, and par-
ticularly in Ireland, and there seems to be every pro-
bability of food becoming even cheaper and more
abundant than it is at present. The grain market
this morning evinces unmistakeable symptoms of weak-
ness.
The Money Market is exceedingly easy as far as the
bankers and others are concerned, and even in general
quarters there is a greater abundance. The railway
'6 calls" absorb, however, a portion of the surplus which,
in the absence of that source, would be seeking em-
ployment. For the present month they amount to
3,833,2551. on English, and 157,E001 on foreign lines.
For August the amount as yet announced is about
1,500,0001
A report of the state of the iron trade appears in Aris'a
Birmingham Gazette, from which we take the following
extracts :—" The slight amendment in the export and
home demand for iron, noticed in our last as a ground to
hope that little underselling would be resorted to, has
since that time considerably increased, and not only
proved sufficient to realise such expectations, but, with
the aid of some heavy orders for railway bars brought
forward just upon the quarterly meetings, has induced
considerable anxiety on the part of our manufacturers
generally to obtain supplies of metal before any de-
cided reaction in price should take place."
"Although we think that we may now congratulate
the trade upon a very general impression that the
lowest point has been turned, and that a more cheerful
feeling may be reasonably assumed, still this beneficial
movement cannot be referred to such a permanent re-
vival of activity in the iron' market, or in the general
aspect of mercantile affairs, as would warrant the
expectation of any immediate advance in prices;
and, above all things, a wild resumption of opera-
tions or increase of make should be guarded against,
The flush of orders which has lately been felt may be
accounted for, even by the distribution alone of that
business which was formerly executed at the various
works unfortunately closed under the late pressure; and
it should be borne in mind, that sales made at the pre-
sent prices arc affording little or no remuneration for the
outlay of capital, if, indeed, they do not entail an abso-
lute loss upon the manufacturer."
The abundance of money still has a strengthening in-
fluence upon Consols, and although the " fag end" of
the settlement may be in part the occasion of the ad-
vance, there is also, no doubt, an indisposition on the
part of the jobbers to sell stock, seeing the manner in
which the quotations were lately "run up." The trans-
actions have been exceedingly limited. Consols have
been 874 to 88 for Transfer, and 874 to 88 for Account.
The premium on the March Exehrquer-bills is again
455. to 495. Bank Stock has been 197 to 193, being a
very decided glee for the first named. East India Bonds
have been 295. to 31s. premium. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87i to 888, and the
Three per Cents. 87:2 to 88.
In the Foreign Bonds there has not been much doing,
but the quotations are steady. Spanish Five per Cents.
have realised 11'41, and the Three per Cents. 21i to 22.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 174, and Bra-
zilian 69. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 45
to 452. Danish Bonds have been at 70. Mexican
are 17A-.
Railway Shares are looking very firm again, and are
still tending upwards. There is a small business doing,
but holders are not inclined to press business.
