inhabitants, in their excitement, shouted Long live
CHARLES ALBERT, King of Italy," and that the Austrian
Ambassador having taken offence at this, and demanded his
passports, the Government, in order to tranquillise him,
countermanded the review, on a plea of a sudden indisposi-
tion of the Sovereign. Austria is the more alarmed, con-
tinues the letter, because this excitement has spread to Lom-
bardy, and has manifested itself at Bologna, and in Itomag-
nia, where cries of " Long lives CHARLES ALBERT, King of
Italy," were also uttered. Preparations are making for
celebrating in Genoa, upon a grand scale, the centenuary of
the expulsion of the Austrians from that city in 1746.

Madrid papers of the 7th have been received.
On the 2d an ernuete occurred at Malaga. The Imparcial
reports that dispatches bad been received by the Government
from the political chief of that city, stating that on the 2d of
May, whilst he was walking in the streets, accompanied by a
number of officers, a band of men fired upon his party. The
colonel of the provincial regiment of Granada was mor-
tally wounded. In various other parts of the town shots were
fired during the day. The authorities, however, had suc-
ceeded in restoring tranquillity.

We learn from the Herald° that Rufus and the members
of the Insurrectionary Junta at Galicia have succeeded in
effecting their escape into Portugal. They ^.T.r., at present at
Viana. We find in the same journal a contr.:diction (which
we presume may be considered as official) of the rumour
that the Government had it in contemplation to dissolve the
provincial regiments.
A letter from Caraccas, dated 26th March, is publishcd in
the Tiempo. It states that a Minister Plenipotentiary from
the Republic of Venezuela to the Court of Madrid was about
to embark for Spain, and that he was empowered to ratify
the treaty of amity and navigation between Spain and Vene-
zuela, which had been negotiated by M. MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA.

The Three per Cents. were done at 32 9-16 for cash ; the
shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 320 ; and those of
Isabel, at 185.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

The project of law relative to the Belgian treaty passed the
Chamber of Peers on Tuesday by a large majority, as did the
Domestic Sugar Bill. The debate on the extraordinary cre-
dits was continued:on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, and had not concluded wken the post left.
In the course of the debate on Wednesday, M.
GtnzoT, in reply to M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, vin-
dicated England against the ckarge of having prevented
the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between France and
Morocco, and declared that the objections to that treaty had
proceeded entirely from the Emperor of MOROCCO himself.
A treaty of commerce has been lately concluded between
France and Sardinia, on terms so favourable to France as to
suggest the idea that the King of SARDLNIA bad been in-
duced to make these concessions in consequence of some secret
underst-mding hostile to Austria. It is said, however, that
there is no reason to believe that the King of SARDINIA con-
templates any difference with Austria. Baron D'ANDRE,
who arrived in Paris from Turin on Tuesday, was the bearer
of the ratification of the treaty by the King of SARDINIA.

The squadron, under the command of the Prince DE JOLN
VILLE, was to sail from Toulon on the 11th.

A species of panic prevailed on the Paris Bourse on Wed-
nesday, for which several causes were suggested—one, that
the provincial share-markets were glutted and money scarce ;
another, that, Sir R. PEEL'S Ministry was again, and this
time seriously, nenaced by dislocation ; another, that a colli-
sion in the Gulf of Mexico between the combined French
and British vessels of war en the one side, and the Ame-
ricans on the other, was imminent. Although the last-men-
tioned cause was found to rest only on an article in the New
York Herald, received six or seven days previously, the
gloom that hung upon the market continued until the close
of business.

The Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 80c. ; the Five per Cents.,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
There was a great demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day, the sales amounting to full 10,000 bag., including 3,000
on speculation and 1,000 for export, at an advance of Vsd. to
14d. on the quotations of Friday last.
The Share Market was dull, and the quotations generally
lower.

At Messrs. Wickham and Co.'s sale of shares yesterday an
advance in the prices was manifest, compared with their last
sale. The attendance was better, and the bidding more
spirited. The following are a few of the numerous lots that
were disposed of:—East Indian, 16s. 6d.—Ambergate, Not-
tingham, and Boston, 34s.—Boston, Newark, and Sheffield,
17s.—Northumberland and Lancashire, 235. 6d.—Madrid and
Valentia, 21s.—Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock, 695. 6d.
—Grand Union, 15s.—York and Carlisle, 30s. 6d.—South
Eastern and Dover, No. 4, 60s.—Over Yssel, 225. 6d.
Accounts from Quebec state :—" We have had a continu-
ance of charming weather at Quebec since the 18th instant,
such indeed as in ordinary seasons we look fur towards the
middle of June. To-day the sky is almost unclouded, and
notwithstanding a cool breeze from the eastward, the ther-
mometer marked 60 degrees in the shade at noon. We are
happy to learn that the apprehensions regarding the produce
of maple sugar this season have proved groundless, and that
the quantity made is considerably above the average."
From Montreal likewise we are advised that—" Business is
beginning to revive here; that there are seven or eight
schooners and sloops in port and three steamers. The only
thing that looks wintry-like are the heaps of ice on the
wharfs and on the shoals in the river. There was ice formed
during the night before last. This morning it is warm, ther-
mometer at noon 55 degrees, and the smoke of clearing land
begins to appear to the southward."
The committee for the relief of the sufferers by the Quebec
fire had received 162,1821. up to April 20, paid 68,7741., had
a balance of 93,4081., and had deposited, at 3 per cent. in-
terest, 73,3711.
In reply to some remarks of a correspondent interested
in the continuance of the public sales of railway shares,
opposed to the system on the presumed ground of want of
security, we are advised thus by the selling brokers :—" We
were at first disposed to take no notice of the statements
made, as they were inconsistent with the facts, but
we beg to state that an auction. conducted as
ours is (Messrs. Lamond), affords no greater facilities
for the circulation of forged scrip certificates than does the
Stock Exchange ; nor do we believe that anything to the
same amount of fictitious scrip has passed through our
hands as has been dealt in in that market. If this be the
case, as we have no doubt the issue of the inquiry now
pending respecting the Buckinghamshire scrip will prove, is
it not as easy to suppose that forged shares may have been
first bought on the Stock Exchange, and then sent to our
office, as that they have been bought originally at
our auction, and then carried to the Sock Exchange ?
Our mode of conducting business is pretty well understood
and appreciated by a very numerous and highly respectable
connexion."
At the East India House this morning the grants to Lords
Hardinge and Gough were unanimously confirmed.
Consols are not firm this morning. For the Account the
prices have ruled from 9614 to 96%; and for Money, from
9634 to 9614. The sales, however, have not been very ex-
tensive. India Stock was yesterday quoted at 267 ; to-day
is only at 264. Exchequer-bills are heavy at 20s. to 235.
premium. India Bonds have receded to 293., and Bank Stock
to 204th.
The Foreign Funds are but in limited request. The only
bargains of the day have been in Austrian at 110, in the
Brazilian at 82, in Mexican at 32%, in Spanish Passive at
51/2, in the Dutch Four per Cents. at a fall to 91,.g, and in
the Two-and-a. Half per Cents. at 59%.
The Railway Share Market is rather flat to-day. The
official prices are annexed.
