The Naples journals gives the follt4ing as the
reply of the POPE to the Diplomatic Corp 4 guaran-

•" I am, gentlemen, re a vue. My. own guard
has been taken from me, and placed by strangers. My
rule of conduct in these circumstances, in which I find
myself without succour, is to avoid at every price the
effusion of Roman blood. I make everything yield to

bidden that ;my name shall be employed, or that the

Mr. TEMPLE, the English Minister to the Court of
Naples, has arrived at Rome. Be is the bearer of
the ultimatum of France and England in relation to
the disputes between Naples and Sicily,
It is said that the Romans intend to proclaim a
republic, with the Prince DE CANINO as President.

DETENTION OF TUE MAIL.—FLOODS ON THE RAIL.
WAY.—The mail from the south, which should have
arrived in Edinburgh early yesterday morning, did not
reach the General Post-office until about two o'clock in the
afternoon; and the London mail duo at two o'clock, did
not come into Edinburgh until nearly four. The delay,
we understand, was occasioned by floods, which have
carried away two bridges, one near Leamington, the
other near Crawford besides nearly filling up one of the
cuttings on the line of the Caledonian Railway, with
the earth swept on the line by the floods. The country
all around is under water. The railway company have
made prompt arrangements for clearing the line and
keeping open the course for passengers, so that the de-
tention for the present will not be great, and it may b 1
expected to be altogether removed in a day or two.—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were est--
mated at 4,000 bales, consisting of about 3,500 Ameri-
can; 100 Egyptian realised sid.; 400 Surat 24d. to 3id.;
and 40 Sea Islands at Bd. to 10/l. per lb. The market
was firm. There were 700 bales on speculation. For
Railway Shares a better feeling existed, and prices had
en improved tendency.
The mail from Germany does not bring any alteration
in the rate of exchange on London, which continued at
13 9. Money was easy, and a fair business was doing
in stocks and shares.
The commencement of the provision business in the
United States is always an important time for the large
number of persons interested, on both sides of the At-
lantic, and as this branch is likely to receive great ex-
tension annually, the following notices of the prepara-
tions making for the ensuing season will be interesting.
The Buffalo Advertiser states that " packing opera-
tions of beef and pork have been commenced in the
towns where they are usually pursued, on the north-
western lakes, on the upper Mississippi, on the Ohio, on
the Cumberland, the Illinois, &c. The prepara-
tions generally, so far as we observe have
been made with a view to a large business;
still the common impression seems to be that
there will be a good deal less provision packing done
this year than was done last. This will depend very
much, however, we suppose, upon the prices paid; for the
country is understood to be full enough of both hogs
and cattle, and if good prices are held out early in the
season, as an inducement for drovers to make contracts,
me- they. will doubtless be brought in."
The :Cincinnati Gazette says of the business there and
elsewhere-" In this city the business will be active so
soon as the weather shall become a little colder, and
finally, large. To the present time about 8,500 head
of hogs have been slaughtered, and about 2,000
head of cattle. The current prices of the former
are about 3 dolls. 15c. to 3 dolls. 25c., and of the latter
3 dolls to 4 dolls 24c. In Louisville operations com-
menced the first part of this week, and about 1,500 head
of hogs were slaughtered by two establishments the first,
second, and third days ; the last quotation published is
3 dolls. 25c. per 1001bs. net, but buyers were unwilling to
meet these figures for any further lots."
The St. Louis Republican, of the 4th instant, has the
following notice of the commencement of operations in
that city :-" Yesterday, the first cutting of hogs for
packing was made. At the pork-house of the Sigersons
between 90 and 100 heads were received and cut,
and their purchases for two or three days past
have amounted to 400 or 500 head, and at a range of
2 dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls., according to size and condition.
They have also purchased, and are now engaged in
cutting and packing 160 head of very fine cattle, for
which they contracted to pay 3 dolls. 250. per 1001bs.
net. At the establishment of the Messrs. Ames, quite
an active business is going on in tbis line. During the
past week they have purchased between 250 to 300
head, ranging in price from 3 dolls. to I dolls. 50c.
At the new and extensive packing house of Clarkson
and Morgan, we found rather more doing than
could have been expected at the commence.
ment. On Thursday they commenced operations
and during the day cut 244 bead of hogs. Yesterday
they were employed with a lot of 500, which, it was
supposed, would be completed, and ready for the barrels
before night.
"At this early day it is almost impossible to speak,
with any degree of certainty, in regard to the price de.
mended, or the number that will be slaughtered and put
up during the present winter ; but we are assured that
the most extensive preparations have been entered into,
and, without doubt, better and greater facilities are now
offered to the farmer drover, and speculator, than have
over been known during any previous season since the
commencement of the business in this city.
" We hear that there are already orders in the market
for between 25,000 and 30,000 bead, but the limits to
which purchasers, as it is supposed, will confine them-
tielves at present will be dollars 2.50 to dollars 2.75,
turning on 200 pounds; in fact there appears to be a
general disinclination on the part of purchasers to ex-
ceed these figures, and it is confidently asserted by
many that dollars 2.75 will be the outside range for all
large contracts for packing purposes."
The Money Market is looking well again
to. day, . although, as usual after a rise, there
has been a slight change in the Funds. Yester-
day afternoon the Bears commenced buying in
their accounts, and this with the stimulus of money pur-
chases caused a rise from 87i I to 88 and 88i, For
some days past it has been apparent that opinion ran in
favour of higher prices, and that the speculators for a
fall, anticipating that the elections might go in favour of
General Cavaignac, and that thegreat influx of specie with
the favorable Bank returns would induce money purchases
were endeavouring to hedge off. Hence recourse was
had to "puts," and operations for a rise were entered
into. Present appearances are certainly favourable, but
whether any unexpected contingencies will arise it is
impossible to say. Consols opened to-day at 88k 1,
being done at the highest quotations; but upon the
Chancery broker and one or two other parties appearing
as sellers, a reaction has occurred to 87i i. Bank
Stock is firm at 190. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 86i i. Exchequer-bills (June)
have been 38s. to 41s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been wholly neglected.
Mexican have been done at 20f. Belgian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 70i to 71. Spanish Three per
Cents. are about 24f to 25.
Railway Shares have been very firm, and although
the business done is not extensive, higher prices have
been obtained for North-Western, Eastern Counties,
South-Eastern, the York 'and other lines.
