ROMAN STATES.

News from Bologna, of the lltb,statethat the Aus-
trians are retiring. Bologna is in a state of defence,
with 20,000 men under arms. The battalion Zambec-
cari, that of the students of Rome, and that of Ferrara,
have taken the three mountains St. Michela in Bosco,
Paterna, and Osservanza, and fortified them with artil-
lery. The Austrian prisoners consist of fifty privates,
a captain, a lieutenant, and two hulans. An at-
tempt was made to burn the Palace Potesta, in
which the savings bank was established, but the fire
was soon extinguished.
The Epoca of Rome announces the fact, that serious
disturbances had occurred at Ravenna, on the receipt of
the intelligence of the invasion of the Legations by the
Austrian troops. It is said that the Neapolitan Consul
was killed.

THE CHARTISTS AND CONFEDERATES.—SeVeraI
large meetings of these parties were announced to be held
ration the best means to be adopted in consequence of the
yesterday (Sunday) for the purpose of taking into conside-
numerous arrests that have taken place. The only meeting,
however, of any consequence that was held was at the South
Lambeth Chartist Hall in ‘Vebber-street, and the proceed-
ings were of an unusually peaceable character. No distinct
plan of action was proposed. On Saturday night, a man
named James Carley
was apprehended in the neighbourhood •
of Drury-lane with a dagger in his possession. He was
taken to Bow-street, and his lodgings in Savage-court,
Paradise-street, Lambeth, searched, but DO other weapons
were found therein.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO 7 !MEE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was firm,
without any change in prices. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales.
American 3d. to 6jd. per lb. Railway Shares improved.
Prices advanced and had still an upward tendency.
By the steamers very late accounts have been received
from America and the East and West Indies.
At New York money was a little easier, but no decided al-
teration had occurred. The exchange on London was 109 to
1091. The commercial markets were quiet, and the imports
had fallen off. If the following statement be correct, we
shall receive fair supplies of produce at moderate rates. The
writer observes :

" There are so many, and such large holders of every
species of produce, who have held so long and amidst so much
depreciation in value, that we fear a moderate improvement
in prices will bring upon the market an immense quantity
of every variety of merchandise, and a complete glut be
realized. This is frequently the case after such a long de-
pression, and a reaction is almost invariably the result. Such
a policy should, by all means, be avoided, if possible; but we
fear that it is impossible to regulate the movements of spe-
culators now, any more than when the excitement has
reached a higher point. The anxiety is to realise. All
say that as soon as prices cover cost and charges,
they will realise ; and when all wish to realise. prices cannot
continue to advance. It is, however, possible that money
may become sufficiently abundant before prices for produce
reach realising points, that it may be easier to hold, and the
anxiety to get rid of stocks may not be so great as we antici-
pate. In that event the recovery will be more healthy and
more rapid. The supply of produce, and staple articles gene-
rally, upon the market, will be more regulated by the de-
mand, and prices will be more steadily sustained."
Sir George Simpson bad returned from his annual tour of
inspection of the Hudson's Bay territories, of which he is
the Governor, and reported very favourably of the condition
of the agricultural population, about 5,000 in number, at the
Red-river Settlement.

Looking over the West India accounts, we find nothing
certainly of a very cheerful tenor, and the arrangements
of the Government were not deemed sufficient to prop up the
colonies. There is but little chance indeed of their present
prosperity, but we have hopes for the future,
and we conceive that no protection would benefit them, in-
asmuch as a subsequent change would always be appre-
hended, and men of capital would keep aloof. Every one
now knows the worst of matters. It is seen that the days
of monopoly and bolstering are over, and the clearing out of
insolvent proprietors, while it is to be lamented on individual
grounds, though often arising from extravagance, lethargy,
and infantine dependence on the mother country, will throw
estates into the market at a price that will probably tempt
new men of better capital and more industry to embark their
money, and become permanent and resident landowners in
Cuba.

The statements received of the Calcutta markets are very
discouraging. Neither in imports nor exports was there any
activity, even at reduced rates, and the money market was
stringent, in a great measure owing to the wain of confidence.

From the Continent we are advised of higher markets for
corn. and here also wheat has risen Ss. to 4s. per quarter this
morning.

The Stock Market is exceedingly quiet to-day, and the
quotations are very fairly supported considering the weather.
Consols have been 85% to 86 for present transfer, and 85% to
861 for account. Exchequer-bills of March have been 325. to
38s. prem., and India Bonds of 1,0001. 225. to 255. premium.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have brought
86% 3% • and the Three per Cents. 85% to 86%.
The Foreign Securities have been at nominal rates, no
business having been transacted in the principal investments.
Portuguese Old Bonds have been quoted 66, and the Four per
Cents. are about 18 to 19. Mexican are called 161 to 17,
and Spanish Three per Cents. 2214 to 223/4. Brazil Stock is
71%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been done at
44 to 44%.
Railway Shares, although not active, are rather better this
morning, especially Midland, since it is found that Mr. Hud-
son does not retire.
