ITALY.

The whole of the corps diplomatique left Rome
when the departure of the POPE became known.
MARIAM arrived in Rome on the 23d. When the
last accounts left General ZUCCHI was at Bologna,
and General GARIBALDI at Ravenna.
It is said to be in cantemplation to erect Lombardy
and Venice into an independent kingdom for the Duke
Of LEUCHTENBERG. The majority of the Lombards
themselves would prefer the Duke of LEUCHTENBERG
to CHARLES ALBERT.

The Itililan Gazette of the 24th contains an official
denial, on thepart of Marshal RADETZKY, that he ever
wrote the letter imputed to him, addressed to the
Archduke Louis, who has for some time past retired
from public affairs.

The Alba:of Florence states that great agitation
reigned at Naples on the 26th, and that an outbreak
was hourly expected. It was believed that the Nea-
politan Ministry had resigned, and that they would
be succeeded by M. SAVARESE, who would give the
Portfolio of Finance to the Prince of ANGRI. A
rumour waslprevalent that the King of NAPLES, had
declared war against Rome and Tuscany. The elec-
tions at Florence, which had been interrupted on the
22d, were to be recommenced on the 27th.

The Concordia, Turin journal, of the 29th ult.
deplores the departure of Pius IX., who, it says,
abandons Rome and Italy, and confides their destinies
to foreign hands. That journal hopes that the Roman
Ministry and people of Rome will be equal to the
circumstances, and prove that the person of the
PONTIFF was not absolutely necessary to the temporal
administration of his dominions.

EGYPT.
IBRAHIM PACHA died on the the 10th ult. from
a pulmonary affection. ABBAS PACHA, his nephew
and successor, who is about forty years of age, was
absent at the time, on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and
until his return, his uncle, SAID PACHA, acts as
Regent. MEHEMET ALI enjoys good bodily health,
but is perfectly imbecile.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
The best play Sheridan Knowles has ever yet pro-
duced—The Hunchback—was acted here last evening
with Mrs. Charles Kean as Julia, and Mr. Charles Kean
as Sir Thomas Clifford. Mrs, Charles Kean acted very
finely—the early simplicity and devotion to Master
Walter was charming, as the latter scenes were ter-
rible in their impassioned intensity. The conflictions
of prido with the tenderer emotions were truthfully
delineated, and the burst of power in the famous scene
with Master Walter in the fifth act, beginning with the

" Show me some way to 'scape these nuptials! Do it!"
was equal to the finest tragic acting we have witnessed,
and akin to the withering passion of Rachel in the ce-
lebrated curse in Les Boraces. Sir Thomas Clifford
was acted by Mr. Charles Kean with a refinement of
style and a depth of poetical appreciation which elevated
the character far above its accustomed exposition. Mr.
Charles Kean has shown his judgment in choosing the
character of Sir Thomas Clifford instead of that of
Master Walter. Although hitherto considered as a
mere walking gentleman, because, when the
piece was first produced, Sheridan Knowles, who
could not act Sir Thomas Clifford, chose to cast himself
for Master Walter, Sir Thomas Clifford is, next to
Julia, the great part of the piece, and exquisitely
did Mr. Charles Kean develop the hitherto unappreciated
beauties of the character. He left the heavy Master
Walter to Mr. Creswick. Mr. Webster was exceedingly
quaint and amusing as Modus, and Miss Julia Bennet
was as espiegle as could be desired in Helen. The prin-
cipal performers were called before the curtain and rap-
turously applauded. The house was crowded.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.
A comic drama, called The Witch of Windermere, by
Mr. Charles Selby, was produced at this theatre last
night. Its dramatic pretensions do not amount to
much, but there is a broad surface for the purposes
of Mr. Buckstone, who manages to keep the two acts
alive by his amusing personation of an uncouth rustic,
striving to be genteel in order to please a village
beauty who has ♦ague notions of refinement, and
been especially smitten with the mincing fopperies of a
London livery servsnt, to the prejudice of her rough but
honest admirer. Buckstone's jealous paroxysms and in-
continent attempts at suicide aro droll enough, and re-
vive many a hearty laugh upon an old basis. Ho is
well supported by Mrs. Fitzwilliani, who plays the
coquette with her accustomed piquancy, and exhibits
much natural feeling at the end, when the rustic restores
himself to hfr good graces by an unexpected act of
heroism The l i.:oe was extremely well received.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
THE DUMBOLTON ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.
There was a private performance of this new company
0 " Darkies" at the St. James's Theatre last evening,
and judging from what we heard we imagine that these
Dew aspirants for public favour will be even more suc-
cessful than their predecessors. They have better voices
and are better musicians, and consequently in the con-
certed pieces are much more effective. They gave the
"Phamtern Chorus" from the Sonnanibula most effectively,
and were I eudly encored in it. " Rosa Lee," a sentimental
nigger tong was beautifully given by White, and was also
encored, as was the " Niggar's History of the World,"
cvhich was given with much humorous unction by Parker.
" Stop that knocking at the door" and the " Coon Hunt"
were also admirably sung. The instruments are two
banjo:, an accordion, tambourine, and bones. The Tam-
bourine is a glorious fellow, superior even to the
tambourine of the original company, but Bones, although
very good, does not quite come up to Pell. The per-
formances were very amusing, and the audience ap-
peared delighted with them. We predict a great suc-
cess for the Dumbolton Serenaders.

BAN VARD' S PANORAMA of the MISSIS

SIPPI and MISSOURI RIVERS.

The largest painting in the world fs now on ex-
hibition at the Egyptian Hall, Picadilly. It is a
moving panorama of the scenery of the Mississipi
and Alisscuri rivers, during a course of upwards of 3,000
miles, and it covers three miles of canvas. The painter
is an American, John Banvard, who determined to pro-
duce the largest painting in the world, and who has suc-
ceeded. The painting, although occasionally somewhat
coarse, is exceedingly effective. The atmospheric phe-
nomena are delineated in a manner marvellously true to
nature, and the scene of the Prairie on lire is most sub-
lime. Mr. Banvard himself is in attendance, and as the
panorama moves on explains the locality exhibited in
the most quaint and humorous style imaginable. His
Yankee twang is delicious.

SHIPWRECK or THE ARRIETTA.--The above named
barque was lost on Monday night last, when almost
within sight of her destination. She sailed from Cuba
on the 13th of October, laden with copper ore, for
Swansea. She made Lundy, Caldy, and the Helwicks
" all well." About midnight the vessel struck the lower
edge of the Mixen (a well-known shoal a short distance
off the Mumble Head). The master, finding that the
vessel would not come off; deemed it expedient to get
out the lung boat. As the crew were endeavouring to
get into the boat a heavy sea drove her up against the
ship's bows, by which John M'Dougal, the second mate,
was knocked overboard and perished. The deceased
was a married man, his family residing in Swansea.
The master and rest of the crew (thirteen in number)
then proceeded in the long boat through the Sound into
the Mumbles. Here they met the Dragon Fly, Neath
steam-tug, the master of which evinced the greatest ma.•
diness and alacrity to assist, and no time was lost in
reaching the vessel, with the view, if practicable, of
getting hor off. On approaching the barque, however,
it was found that the sea was breaking over her, and that
the steamer could not, without imminent risk of sacri-
ficing the lives of all on board, get sufficiently near to be
of service. The attempt was consequently abandoned,
and the crew made the best of their way to Swansea
Harbour. The vessel has since become a complete
wreck, the whole coast being strewed with portions of
the unfortunate craft. Tho Arrietta was consigned to
the Cobre Company at this port, with 450 tons of copper
ore; she was the property of Sir J. Pirie and Mr. Lang,
and is believed to be partially insured. The loss is esti- -
mated at 8,0001. Neither the master nor crew were
able to save any portion o their clothes or other property.
M'Dougal's body has not yet been recovered.
WALWORTH.—Last night the annual meeting of
the South-West London Auxiliary to the Church of
England Young Men's Society was held in the Lecture
Hall, Carter-street, Walworth. The Venerable Arch-
deacon Hare, one of the vice-presidents, presided, and the
meeting was addressed by the chairman, the Rev. J. W.
Watson, the Rev. J. R. Foot, Mr. Cummins, and others.
It appeared from the report that this auxiliary has been
established about three years, during which time, in ad •
dition to providing extensive means of information on
subjects connected with the history and defence of the
Church of England, it has contributed nearly 170/. tothe
Pastoral Aid Society, the Colonial Church Society, the
London Society for Promoting Christianity among the
Jews, and the Church Missionary Society for Africa and
the East. A reading-room and library containing 1,400
volumes have been established for the use of members
of the parent association; and the report stated that it
was in contemplation to provide similar advantages for
the auxiliaries. The proceedings occupied several hours.
The chimpanzee that was exhibited lately at
Wombwell's menagerie, we understand, is dead, owing
to the climate of England being so much colder than
that of Sierra Leone, of which it was a native. The
body is now in the possession of Mr. Waterton of Wal-
ton Hall, and is about to be added to the splendid mu-
seum of that gentleman,—Durham Advertiser.

The following is the letter addressed to the Marquis
SAccuETTr by the POPE, announcing the intention
of his Holiness to quit Rome:—
Marquis Sacchciti,—We confide to your well•known
prudence and integrity to inform the Minister Galletti of
our departure, authorising him and the other Ministers
not only to pref.( ct the palaces, but much more the per-
sons therein, who were entirely ignorant of our resolu-
tion. We take the more interest in their safety, because,
we again repeat, they were entirely ignorant of our in-
tention.—Signed Pius IX., Nov. 24, 1848. Counter-
signed G. GALLETTI, Minister of the Interior, Nov. 25,
1848."

The Abbe Rosmizu has not left Rome, nor, it is
said, does he intend quitting the Eternal City.
The Gazetta di .Roma of the 23d announces that
the new Ministers have given up half their salaries to
the public treasury.
The POPE was, it is said, accompanied in his flight
by Cardioal LAMBRUSCIIINI.

The Canadian winter had commenced, but the navi-
gation still remained open. The ships were getting away
with all possible dispatch.
The advicos from the Continent, received to-day, are
regarded as favourable, and our Money Market feels the
influence accordingly. The Funds are strongly sup-
ported by the speculators for a rise, and it is conceived
that the large transactions for the " put," during De.
cember, of Consols at 87a and /, for which per cent.
has been given, are connected with operations for ad-
vanced rates, those who have bought largely for time,
being anxious, probably, to protect themselves against
a serious revulsion. One per cent. only would be
the extent of loss, where parties bought and "put" at
the same prices. If they have done the latter only,
they can gain but by a fall of about one per cent., and
should the market rise they lose their per cent. and
commission. Consols have been 87} for Money, and
87i for Account. Exchequer-bills have been at 41s. to
445. premium, and India Bonds at 38s. premium. East
India Stock has risen to 240 and 241. Bank Stock is
firm at 188/ to 190. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 86/ and the Three per Cents.
86-4, g.
The election of General Cavaignac will be hailed
here, both in monetary and mercantile circles, with much
satisfaction, and it is conceived that the Red Repub-
licans by voting for Ledru Rollin will assist his cause.
The Foreign Market has been very quiet again.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been 24i Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been nominally 24 to 25; and
Mexican 2li to 4. Peruvian are marked 36k; Vene-
zuela, 14k; and Buenos Ayres, 20g. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 47i to 471.
Railway Shares are firm, although at present exceed-
ingly quiet, and far from realising their fair value. An
improvement, we still feel persuaded, will occur early
next year. Midland, North British, and Eastern
Counties are better.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
7,000 bales, principally American. The market was
very quiet, at previous quotations.—ln Railway Shares
there was but little business doing, and without altera-
tion in prices.
The state of the mercantile markets in the metropolis
is still rather dull, and a disposition to ask fuller prices
has checked the sale of raw cotton, as well as of manu-
factures, at Liverpool and Manchester. In review of
last month's operations Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewes-
bury inform us that:—" During the early part of
the month the Foreign and Colonial markets were
very much depressed, owing to the large quantities
brought forward by importers, who manifested
every desire to realise, even at some concession on
ruling rates, without, however, inducing dealers
to purchase, except for their immediate wants ; after-
wards a better feeling became prevalent, which, without
establishing any advance in prices, caused a considerable
business to be done in sugar, and also to a smaller ex-
tent in dyes. During the past week the same improve-
ment has not continued general, and prices have re-
sumed their downward tendency, cochineal and lac dye
being almost the only articles which maintain their po.
sition. The arrivals continue large, and stocks aro still
heavier than at the corresponding period of last year,
but are not excessive, when compared with the increased
consumption."
The letters and papers per steamer America, have
been delivered, and appear to give general satisfaction.
The excitement of the election being over, it is con-
cluded that business affairs will flow on in the usual
channel, and the election of Gen. Taylor is certainly a
matter for congratulation. In a report dated from New
York at the latest period it is stated that—
" The Stock Market, during the past week, has been
more buoyant than we have noticed before for a long
time. Prices have in many instances improved, and
the sales have been unusually large. A portion of this
advance has been caused, no doubt, by the relief expe-
rienced in the Money Market, and partly by the changes
which have taken place in the prospective value of some
securities for investment. Government Stocks have
been in demand at better prices, and the large
amounts weekly issued at Washington, on foreign
accounts, have given holders here more confidence.
The favourable reports which have been put in circu-
lation, upon semi-official authority, relative to the
future wants of the Government, have had a ten-
dency to improve prices. The ' fancies' have been
more active than usual, and a disposition to purchase on
time, so as to have contracts mature in the early part of
next year, has been manifested. So far as Government
Securities aro concerned, there is every probability of
the improvement being sustained, but as regards the
fancies' it does not look so encouraging, as there is in
reality no basis for it. We have ra long and dull winter
before us, and the season invariably has an influence
upon such sensitive securities. Money may be more
abundant than it has been for some time past, but the
absence of the proper class of speculators makes it diffi-
cult to sustain prices. The brokers have to carry the
bulk of all the • fancies' in the street, and it is likely
some of them will break down under the burden before
the close of the winter."
The value of merchandise and amount of specie im-
ported into the New York district, exclusive of that
sent to warehouse, and the amount of duties on the same,
for the week ending the 17th ult., in each of the past
three years, were as annexed:-
