ITALY.

The insurrection against the Austrian domination
continues to progress in the mountainous and lake
distriet of the north of Lombardy.

L' Opinione of the 3d instant gives an account of the
steam boat on the Lake Maggiore having, under
Colonel D'APICE, di!!embarked 2,000 men, who drove
the Austrians from Lucino. This force then divided
itself into two parts, one, under APICE, marching to-
wards Como, and the other repairing to the moun-
tains. The Austrians retired upon Vorese. ALLOS.
TELVIO, at Iticoni, cut in pieces a body of Croats.
The people are waiting for the assistance of the
Piedmontese to rise en masse. Twenty thousand
Austrians are obliged to be kept at Milan to hold
that town.

, The Sardinian Ministry declared, in the sitting of
the Chamber of Deputies of Turin, on the 2d inst.,
that Sardinia would accept of no other mediation but
that of France and England.
The disturbances at Genoa have been completely
suppressed. The most perfect concord prevails be-
tween the troops and the National Guards.

From Rome we learn that Count Rossi, the
Minister of the Interior, issued thefollowing procla-
mation on the 25th ult. :

" A handful of misled men, making a pretext of the
riot in which a Jew, who had struck a blow, was arrested,
have committed excesses we know not bow to charac-
terise. Although not compromised by a mere threat of
further and more serious disturbance, the cause of public
security at once found, in the earnest concurrence of the
citizen guard and the army, all the aid and guarantee
required for inspiring the fullest and firmest confidence
in the present and in the future. The Government will
never suffer the laws and civilization to be insulted with
impunity. The Roman people will never cease to offer
to the world the most noble example of devotion to their
Sovereign, and their love for that true and honest liberty
which never fails in respect for the laws.

A NOVELTY.—The Lord Mayor's Procession to-
morrow will present a striking novelty, as compared
with previous spectacles of the 9th November. The
public are not generally aware that Sir JAMES
D in an early period of his life, served in the
Royal Navy, and was present at the memorable
battle of Algiers, under the command of Lord Ex-
mouth. On that stirring occasion, it is much more
likely Sir James expected a cannon-ball for his por-
tion, rather than dream of becoming Lord Mayor of
London ! As being probably the first naval
Lord Mayor, it is decided to grace the other
glories of the procession by the introduction
of h SHIP FULLY RIGGED AND MANNED ! on a car
drawn by six horses. This will be a rare novelty—
and still rarer if they were Sea horses!

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
" MADEMOISELLE NISSEN.
This talented artiste made her debut on the English
boards last night, with complete and well-merited suc-
cess, in the arduous :We of the Druid priestess in Bel-
lini's opera of Norma. Mademoiselle Nissen is a Swede
by birth, being from the same town as our favourite
Jenny Lind. She is also a pupil of Manual Garcia, of
the Conservatoire, Paris, and has been the friend and
pupil of the great Pasta. Mademoiselle Nissen
made her first appearance in Paris, in 144, at the
Italian Opera, and sung with great success there
for two seasons. The director wished to engage her for
a third, but she went to the Impereal Theatre at St.
Petersburgh, where she sung all the range of premiers
roles with Madame Pauline Viardot, Signori i Rubin
and Tamburini. She subsequently appeared at the prin'
cipal theatres of Milan, Mantua, Bologna, Florence, and
Rome, where she was a great favorite for two seasons.
Madlle. Nissen possesses a pure soprano voice of very
considerable etendue (ranging from A flat below the lines'
to D in alt), partaking also of the mezzo soprano
quality, her middle notes being excellent, which
is of rare occurrence. We were particularly
struck with the ,n,:velty and exquisite beauty of her
fierifure, which was of such a high order as to com-
pletely satisfy the most sfastidious critic. We under-
stand she studied this long, and difficult role for six
weeks, and we were astonished at hearing her pro
nounce the English language in such a clear and pleas-
ing style ; indeed it required strict attention to detect
the slightest defective pronounciation of our difficult
language. On her entrata she was greeted with a very
flattering reception, and declaimed the opening recita-
tive, which is a very trying moment for a debutante, with
much earnestness. The exquisite "Casts Diva"
was rendered with delicious taste and purity,
her broderie being extremely judicious, and her
denunciation of her deceiver, the heartless Pollio,
was given with such force and fervour that an '
unanimous encore was demanded and complied with.
At the conclusion of the first act she was summoned
before the curtain, when she appeared with Mr. Harri-
son, who represented Pollio, and Mrs. Donald King, who
was the Adalgesa of the evening. On their appearance
several splendid bouquets were thrown to the fair de-
butante who with infinitegrace shared the floral honours
with her talented sister artiste. The second act was remark-
able for the extreme beauty of thefioriture introduced into
the celebrated duet " Dek con te," which was sung by
Mademoiselle Nissen and Mrs. Donald King with an
ensemble that was as near perfection as possible, and the
intense feeling that Mademoiselle Nissen infused into
the beauteous finale, which drew down thunders of ap-
plause. Mr. Harrison's effective personation of Pollio,
and Mr. Borrani's Oroveso, are too well known to re-
quire more notice than to say they were, as usual, ex-
cellent. Mrs. Donald King (we are happy to record
for the honour of British talent) was completely success-
ful. At the conclusion of the opera, Mademoiselle
Nissen was called out twice, when she again received
several boquets, one of which was thrown from the fair
hand of the Baroness Brunnow, and Mrs. Donald King
appeared subsequently to receive the unanimous and
well-merited plaudits of a fashionable audience.

LORD MAY•a'S DAY.—Yesterday the state liveries
to be worn on the occasion of the inauguration of the
Lord Mayor to-morrow, the 9th inst., were exhibited to
the public at Messrs. Wade and Fowler's, Holborn-hill.
The coats are of Waterloo blue; the other garments
being white kerseymere; the whole profusely. em-
broidered with gold, representing oak leaves, inter-
spersed with roses, the emblem of Sir James Duke's
native town, Montrose. The badge is a crest, a griffin
rampant holding a wreath of roses in the fore paws.
The hats, by Messrs. Lowe, of Fleet-street, are also
decorated in the same costly manner, the postillion's
cap being worth 201. The whole of the embroidery has
been executed by Messrs. Wilson, of Lombard-street,
this being the first time this eight years that the liveries
have been entirely executed within the city of London.
EARLY CLostric MovastENT.—Last night a public
meeting, which was very numerously and respectably
attended, was held at the Literary and Scientific Insti-
tution, Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of furthering
the movement to abridge the hours of labour in all
trades. The Lord Mayor presided. Several resolutions
urging upon the public the necessity of discontinuing the
practice of evening shopping, and upon employers the
duty of early closing, were agreed to, and after a vote of
thanks to the Lord Mayor the meeting separated;

CITY, QUARTER TO TIIIIEI•'.
The Cotton Market of Liverpool yesterday was firm,
the sales being 3,000 to 4,000 bales.—Railway Shares
were better, and a good business was'done;
The Belgian Chambers are now in session, and the
Budget, it is stated, will be produced almost immedi-
ately, no formalities being observ& d nor ro) al address
delivered.

The Royal mail steamer Avon, from the West Indies,
has arrived, and papers and letters are in town. The
state of the different colonies was about the same as per
last advices, and may be gleaned by what appears in
another column.

We noticed yesterday some important facts bear.
ing - upon the transit of produce from the
interior of North America to Greet Britain, and
we have now to remark upon the influence
which it may have upon our fisheries. The
writer from whom we before quoted observes: " I ant
not aware of the time or expense of transit goods
from Chicago or vicinity to Boston or New York, but
I have seen it published that a barrel of fish can be
taken from Halifax to Chicago, by the St. Law-
rence route, on an average of from three to four
shillings less than any other. This is of vast im-
portance to the fishing interest, in particular, of rho
lower colonies, and especially of Nova Scotia.
The expense of transit of a barrel or quintal of fish to
the Western States has greatly tended to kiiieflown the
consumption. With adirect and cheap transitlike the pre-
sent one now opened, the consemption in a-fewyears of the
produce of our province, and of our fisheries in particular,
when that great country fills up with an industrious
population, us it is rapidly doing, will be beyond
computation, and in return for which we will
zequire their breadstuff.; " and other articles for re-
shipment elsewhere if not required in the province.
Had the ship Free•trader proceeded on to Halifax,
she would have accomplished the voyage from Chicago,
in from fifteen to sixteen days; as I have no doubt it
will eventually be done. Were the Quebec railroad in

operation, her cargo could have been landed here in
eleven or twelve days from the date of shipment. If
the Free-trader had come on to Halifax, she could have
landed her cargo here, and taken one in'return direct to
her hone in the Xest, a distance of over 3,000 miles
and further than from Halifax to Liverpool, England."
The Corn Market is steady to-day.
In the Continental letters received to-day, there ap•
pears to be nothing of prominent interest beyond what
appears in another column of The Sun. Money is re-
ported to be abundant in most places, though confidence
is weak, especially at Paris.
As it has been reported, to the just alarm of the rail-
way shareholders, that the Stock Exchange had authe•
rised the continued publication of the Railway. Weekly
list and statistics, we are glad to have the following
explanation :
" In the leading article of the last Weekly List the
writer, under a misapprehension of the Resolution'
therein quoted, stated that the Committes of the Stock
Exchange have withdrawn their sanction from the
Weekly List.' This was erroneous, the sole object of
that resolution being to prevent the continuance of the
editor's remarks, &c., remaining appended to it.
" The committee never having; given, have not,
by their resolution, withdrawn their sanction from
that portion of the Weekly List. The concluding para-
graph of the same article was also erroneous;,and,:as
therefore becomes necessary to state, that the Week&
List, as prescribed in the Resolution referred to, is pub-
lished under the authority of the Committee of the
Stock Exchange, and edited solely by Mr. Slaughter,
secretary of the railway department of the ,Stock-
Exchange, who disclaims all connexion with any
other railway publication whatever."
The state of the English Money Market is sum.
eland), gooll taking the quantity" of capital avail-
able, to justify the rather sanguine anticipations,
which we hear expressed in various quarters, as
to the probability of an improved state of
things in respect to securities end even trade. No doubt
there will be a great influence felt erelong, if political
affairs do not become worse, and any local
disturbances abroad, not involving war, may
have very litte effect in England, and rather
occasion th. remittance of specie to this country, as the
only place where a sate investment can be obtained. The
Paris news leads the "Bears," however, to speculate
upon the chance of renewed disturbances, and may deter
purcha.es, though we have heard at some money bargains
to-day. How uncertain the affairs of the Continent are
considered by some, we may infer from the fact of
per cent. being given for the liberty of selling 300,000
Consols at 80 any time between this and April. Pre-
sent appearances are of course very unpropitious for the
party who has given the I. but the February revolution
may remind us that such things can be. We then had
a rapid decline of nearly 10 per cent., whereas 6 or 7
per cent. now would bring a party right, even if he did
not operate against it, which he might, and no doubt
would, do.
