ITALY.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
517th ult., at which date all was tranquil in that city.
The Raman Advertiser of that date has the follow-
ing from Civita Vecchia, dated 26th :
" Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Portuguese
Ambassador arrived hero in a state carriage, with a nu-
merous suite. Ho had an interview with the French
Consul, and went with him outside the gates of the town.
At five o'clock five carriages arrived ; from two of them
strangers had already descended, and in one of the
others was the French Ambassador and various Secreta-
ries of Embassy. At six o'clock another carriage ar-
rived, with the Count Julio della Porta. The French
steamer lighted its fires immediately, and prepared for
departure. It began to be rumoured that the Pope had
arrived. It was soon ascertained that a group of indi-
viduals, dressed as priests, had presented themselves at
the outports of the fortress, demanding to pass through
that they might see the port, and promising to return ;
but, instead of so doing, it was found that
they bad
embarked on board the steamer, which put itself in a
posture of defence, and allowed no one to approach.
The Ambassadors were known to be on board, and at
nine o'clock the vessel left the port, apparently in the
direction of Naples."
The same journal adds :

" From other letters we learn that the steamers took
up the Pope, with his brother and servant, at St. Severe,
about eight miles from Civita Vecchia. His Holiness
was waiting there in disguise, and went two miles by
sea in a boat to meet the vessel, which then sailed in a
westerly direction."
The following proclamation was published at Rome
on the 25th ult., by the President of the Chamber of
Deputies :

" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE. PAPAL STATES.
" It must be evident to you that in the absence of the
Sovereign the Government of the State remains in the
same turin and with the same legal authority. The
Chamb.:r of Deputies, always resolved to exercise its
rights, and to observe its duties, willingly unites with the
Ministry, to whom his Holiness has confided the power,
and recommended to watch over public order during his
absence. After having, therefore, unanimously voted
an active co-operation in every laudable act of the Go-
vernment, the Chamber adds an exhortation to the people
of Rome and the provinces to give a splendid proof of
their virtue and wisdom, recollecting that on their con-
cord mainly depends the union and liberation of Italy.
The Chamber of Deputies, in its own name and in that
of the Ministry, assures the people of its untiring zeal for
the prompt realisation of those hopes so dear to the com.
mon country. " The President

" STURDINETTL"

DEATH OF SHERIFF ROBERTSON.—We regret to
announce the death of this well-known judge, which took
place on Friday morning, between the hours of nine and
ten. Mr. Robertson has held the office of Sheriff Sub-
stitute of Forfarshire for 27 years, and was the oldest in
tenure of office as a Sheriff Substitute in Scotland.—
Edinburgh Witness.
The Sultan steamer, which arrived on Wednesday
from Constantinople, brought 62,0001., chiefly in geld.
During the last two months, owing to an improved
demand for grain and other produce, these remittances
appeared to have ceased, but the recent accounts mention
dull and declining markets, and hence again an unfa-
vourable balance with this country.
UNFOUNDED CHARGE.—A report prevails in town
that either the King's Own or the Royal Weloh Fusiliers
is about to be removed from Winchester, in consequence
of the continual quarrels between the men of those corps.
We are requested to state that the report has not a
shadow of foundation, it being impossible that two regi-
ments could lee on bettor terms ; indeed, it is remarked
upon by the town:-people as a singular fact that two
corps should agree so uncommonly well. A repurt of
the kind is calculated to do harm, or it would not be
worth contrßdiotion,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS'
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was
steady, and prices had an upward tendency. T 1 to sales
were 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American, on specu-
lation. The Share Market was dull, with I; ut little
business doing.
There are no ship arrivals with later news to. day,
but the contioeetal advices surpass in interest Is hat has
reached us for some time past.
The case of the Bank of England against the iron-
masters, animadverted upon in the leading c,slumns of
last night's Sun, has attracted much attention in the
City, but we hear of no explanation yet, except that the
plant and estate of the company of copper millers of
England has come into possession of the Bank, an d that
it is determined to work it for its own advantaA,e,
least until a purchaser can be found. It iscertainly in Ifor-
tunate that through the gross mismanagement of that c om-
pany it should have become so irretrievably embarrea ised
as to be unable to pay off even the preferable 'hem of
the Bank of England, but if the latter must for a time
administer the company's affairs and afford employ went
to the large number of persons wholly depe Acid
thereof, the rivalry should evidently be fair, and with
the least possible damage to individual interest. Private
capitalists cannot be expected to resist such poveerful
competition, especially it undersold. It is manifes t that
the affair will not rest where it is.
The Produce Markets have been quiet this urea.
except upon one or two occasions. On Tuesday .1, fair
business was done, and there are a good many sales
again to-day, but the buyers do not appear inch; led to
enter largely into business, and this prevents a g, users'
rise in prices. Coffee is a little brisker, as the upPIY
from some parts will prove rather deficient.
There has been a flat market for the Public S
tics, and business has been very inactive. The f weir
news has the effect of checking operations. C Diesels
have been all the morning at 87i We hear Iv Mang
more of sales by the Government broker, but he is :said
to be hovering about the market with the apparent in.
tention of selling when there is a chance. We rat her
think the account is "Bullish," and that this we.ii ;Its
