ITALY.

The Constitutional Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the
27th ult., announces positively that the POPE has
resolved to stay at Gaeta. The Tempo of Naples,
however, states that apartments had been prepared
for him. He is stated to be in excellent health. The
Ambassadors of France, Spain, and Bavaria had ar-
rived at Naples, where all the corps diplomatique
were expected. The official journal announces the
arrival in that city of seven Cardinals, among them
Mgr. tLAmssituscuiNi, and says that others were ex-
pected.
The Nazionale of Florence states that the Grand
Duke ALEXANDER of RUSSIA, the eldest son of the
Emperor had dined with the POPE at Gaeta on the
Ist. The Grand Duke afterwards proceeded to
Naples, where he his about to marry one of the
daughters of the King.
Mr. TEMPLE arrived at Naples on the 6th inst.
with the ultimatum of England and France, on the
Sicilian question This ultimatum which, it is under-
stood, gives the Crown of Sicily to a son of the
King of NAPLES, and establishes a Neapolitan
army in the island, will not be accepted by the
Sicilians. Meetings have been held in vari •
ous parts of the island, which have: been
attended by immense numbers of the inhabitants, in
which resolutions have been agreed to pledging the
islanders rather to submit to extermination than
suffer a Bourbon to reign over them.

The Alba has a letter from Rome of the 30th ult.,
which states that the city was tranquil. The Minister
of War was, however, making preparations for de-
fence. The Tempo of Naples of the 28th ult. states
that persons who ,had arrived from Rome brought
word that the clubs were in permanent sitting, that
a committee of public safety had been elected, and
that the arms of France and Bavaria had been burned
in the streets.

The Assembly, which has hitherto received the
greatest support from all classes of the community,
is about to dispatch envoys to the different Courts of
Europe to explain the circumstances attending the
late revolution.

Prince BOUGUESE has left Rome and joined the
POPE at Gaeta.

The resignation of the Turin Ministy has been
officially announced to the Chambers.
The Concordia of Turin, of the 6th instant, states
that a second popular demonstration had been made
on that day, notwithstanding a heavy fall of snow.
The mob, preceded by a tricolour flag, marched to
the residence of M. GIOBERTI, and by the honours
they rendered him they appeared to salute him as the
future President of the Republic.
Count Lino, who had been applied to by the KING
to construct a new Cabinet, had declined the task,
and had advised his MAJESTY to send for GIOBERTI.
In the sitting of the Roman Assembly on the Ist
iust., MAsuAra, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. A
SIR,—As one greatly interested in the price of bread'
viz , a coffee-house keeper, I beg to call your attend°
to the following facts:—The returns of the price of call
shows the price to be 51s. the imperial quarter—that is:
eight bushels to the quarter. Now a bushel of wheat
weighs sixty pounds, and when reduced to flour yield;
not less than fifty pounds in weight, so that each quartea,
produces 4001 b. of flour, equal to one sack and 1200^
over and above the sack. Thus you will see the flour
costs , just three halt-pence and a fraction per polo,'
Now the full-priced bakers make about 100 four pounho
loaves from a sack, they not, weighing their bread; t'
cheap bakers, when they give weight, make about ninety'
four loaves from a sack of flour, they always alloil.
least one and a half pound of water to each loaf far
mixing—thus you will see how it is that bakers 5101
charge one penny more for flour than bread. The plain fact is the best bread does not cost 111°id'",.
than 3id. per loaf, while the cheap bread is nearly l
per sack cheaper to the baker. Trusting you wWou"-
good enough to insert this, you;,will confer a benefit ,„;
the trade to which I belong, and also the public, and .1".•
the bakers answer the question.-1 am, Sir, yours, 86C.

only 3ilb. for the quartern of flour.

announced to the Chamber of Deputies that ;the
nisters, in order to maintain their promise to the
people, had determined to proclaim an Italian Con-
stituent Assembly forthwith, inasmuch as they" be-
hewed it was the only mode of safety for the coun trY•
He in consequence demanded of the Chamber the ton"

other Italian States, to begin with Tuscany, slid
subsequently with the other States.
AlantrAm then presented the following draft
of a Bill to the Chamber:—

Article 1. A Constituent Assembly is convoked for
all the Italian States. Its mission will be to frame ti
federal pact which, whilst it respects the existence o!
isolated states by leaving their form of: government end
their fundamental laws unchanged, will secure the
liberty, the union, and the absolute independence of
Italy, and Swill :establish the happiness of the nation.
Article 2. Each state will send an equal number of repre-
b,entatives to the Constituent Assembly. Article 3. The
representatives of all the states will be elected in Lb'
manner to be determined by the Government and bf
the legislative bodies. Article 4. The mode of repro'
sentation of the countries occupied by foreigners will be
determined at a later period by the Governments vr.l3°
must adhere to the eonstitution. Article 5, The Coe'
stituent Assembly, before it proceeds to the discussion
and to the compilation of the pact, will make peeposeli
to the different states for the adoption of such measure§
as may be required for the prompt and complete realise'
Lion of the national independence.
The draft of the Bill was then received, and vas
ordered to be printed and distributed amongst the
