ITALY.

The insurrection continues to spread in the Valte-
line and in the neighbourhood of Como. On the
27th Chiavenna was in possession of the insurgents,
who had expelled the Austrians, erected barricades
in the streets, broken the bridge thrown over the
torrent Merra, and rendered impracticable the road
from Chiavenna to Colico. Six hundred Austrians
had left in steam-boate on hearing this news, leaving
Como without troops. The inhabitants of Argegno
(on the Lake, six miles from Como) had risen. They
had disarmed twenty-five soldiers, whom they had
made prisoners. All the valley above Argegno
(between the lakes of Como and Lugano) had risen.
Many refugees, coming from Tessin, had arrived
there. On the 25th two steam-boats had appeared
at Argegno. The combat was terrible ; the place
was burned, and the people took refuge in the moun-
tains. The insurrection continued in the Valley of
Intelvi, where the Austrians met with resistance.
Boats loaded with wounded arrived from Chiavenna.
The insurrection had spread to Sondrio and the whole
of the Valteline.

The news from Bergamo is similar. The Valley of
the Upper Seriono has risen, as well as Camonica.
The enemy is forced to abandon the Valley of Intolvi.
At Pallozago, in two affairs, the Austrians have been
beaten. One of their superior officers is mortally
wounded.

he Concordia of Turin, of the 30th ult., says :
"Although RADETZKI has sent against the insurgents
of Chiavenna 4,000 men, with artillery, the insurrec-
tion is formidable. The insurgents occupy the best
positions, and receive every day reinforcements of nu-
merous volunteers, who arrive from SWitaerland. It
is impo.isible to conceive the acts of barbarity of the
Austrians. Five bodies of women have been found
horribly mutilated." _ _ _

The same journal says the Valley of Torlezza is free.
They are fortifying the important military points.
Fresh troops have been sent from Como to Colico.
The sacrifices of money made for the insurrection are
immense.

The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 26th ult., an-
nounces that, on the day before, the Ghetto, or
Jewry, was menaced with an attack by a multitude
actuated, it seems, by private motives of vengeance.
Some excesses were committed, but the speedy arri-
val of three battalions of civic guards and the dra-
goons soon restored tranquillity. The Minister of
War had sent Quartermaster RUGGIERI to Venice to
inquire into the state of the Roman volunteers there
and provide for their clothing and other necessaries.
He is to embark in the steamer Roma, which he is
afterwards to leave at Venice at the disposal of that
Government.

The Venice Gazette of the 23d contains a decree
of the Provisional Government instituting a Hun-
garian Legion, composed of all the Hungarian sol-
diers and citizens now within Venice. They are to
wear a Hungarian uniform. The preamble of the
decree assigns, as a reason for this measure, that
" Italy and Hungary ought to make common cause,
as they both have the object of obtaining national in-
dependence." The same journal publishes a bulletin
announcing that, on the 22d, 400 men of the bat-
talion of Chasseurs of the Sile, under the command
of General AMIGO, left Treporti, protected by three
pirogues and two gun-boats, to attack the position of
the Cavallino, occupied by about 250 Austrians, with
three pieces of cannon. After landing without oppo-
sition, protected by the fire of the pirogues, the fort
of the Cavallino was taken, with two pieces of cannon,
a good deal of ammunition, and other provisions. The
Austrians were pusued till they passed the Piavo.

The extraordinary proceedings in respect of her
Majesty and Prince Albert's etchings are, we under-
stand, Eli-1y soon to be heard of in court,—in that of
Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, by whom the injunc-
tion was granted against the parties who were about
to exhibit the etchings in question, and publish a ca-
talogue of them. The Bills filed on the part of her
Majesty and the Prince have been amended in conse-
quence, we hear, of fresh information. It is said that
the chief defendant, a respectable publisher in Pater-
noster-row, is really not in any way implicated in
the disgraceful transaction in question. The counsel
for her Majesty and the Prince are the Attorney
and Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, and
Mr. W. M. James; fur Mr. Strange, Mr. Russell,
Q.C., Mr. Warren, and Mr. Sydney Smith.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The arrivals of all kinds of English grain, especially
those of Oats and Beans, for our market last week, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were very limited; those of
Flour on the increase. Scarcely any corn came to hand
either from Ireland or Scotland. Comparatively speak-
ing, the imports from abroad were good, viz., 22,267
quarters of Wheat, 8,469 ditto of Barley, 10,955 ditto
of Oats, 1,283 ditto of Rye, 999 ditto of Beans, 5.057
ditto of Peas; 534 ditto of Tares; 5,454 ditto of Linseed;
134 ditto of Rapeseed; 48 ditto of Mustard Seed; 1,358
ditto of sundry seeds; 840 barrels and 2,051 sacks of
Flour. It is known that a large fleet of vessels, laden
with Corn, is on passage to England from the Baltic.
A change in the wind will, possibly bring the vessels in,
either this or next week. From Essex an unusually
small supply of Wheat of home produce came fresh to
hand this morning. The receipts of that article from
Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., were limited. As very
few parcels remained unsold at the close of Friday's
market, the show of samples of English Wheat, was
trifling in the extreme, and on the whole, of very
middling quality. As the attendance of buyers from
the country was good, and as most of them were by no
means well in stock, the demand for all kinds of Eng-
lish Wheat was somewhat active, at an advance in the
quotations paid on Monday last, of is. per quarter, and
at which a good clearance was effected. With Foreign
Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say, heavily
supplied. Selected parcels of both red and white were
in steady, though not to say active, request, at prices
fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. The
middling and out-of condition sorts were a slow inquiry,
at late rates. Most of the cargoes on hand,
last week, were landed in bond. An accu-
mulation of stock is expected by some persons.
Notwithstanding the supply of English Barley was
small, that article was a slow sale, and is per quarter
lower than last week. Foreign qualities were neglected,
at the above decline. Tho show of the latter was mode-
rately good, and of fair average quality. Malt of super-
fine quality ready for delivery was tolerably firm, at very
full prices. For forward delivery, exceedingly
little
business was doing, but we have no decline to notice in
value. The supply on offer was limited. Although the
supply of Oats from all quarters was small, that article
met a very slow inquiry. Good sound parcels
supported the late advances in the quotations,
but damp qualities were somewhat easier to purchase.
For Beans, the supply of which was not large, we had
a very slow inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty
supported. Very large supplies of Peas having come to
hand from abroad, white qualities sold at a decline of
from Is. to 2s. per quarter. Grey and maple samples
were very dull. Indian Corn and
.Meal met a very
slow inquiry, at .
last week's quotations, There was
rather more doing Flour. In prices, however, we
have no improvement to notice.

At the northern outports about 3,000 head of stock hay-
arrived, chiefly from Holland and Germany. Notwith,
standing the extensive imports of foreign stock noticed
above, the show of Beasts and Calves from abroad thin
morning was comparatively limited ; that of Sheep
tolerably good. Rather large numbers of Beasts have
been disposed of privately, on being landed. There was
a better feeling in the general demand to- day, and in
some instances the quotations had an upward tendency.
The supply of home-fed Beasts fell considtrably short
of that shown on this day se'nnight, both as to number
and quality. As the attendance of buyers was on the
increase, and the weather more favourable to slaughter-
ing, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an advance
in the quotations of quite 2d per 81bs. The general top
figure for Beef was 4s, but a few very superior Scots
produced 4s 2d per 81b. Prior to the close of business
a good clearance had been effected. From Lincolnshire,
Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about
1,100 shorthorns; from the eastern, western, and mid-
land districts, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish
beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 of various
breeds; the remainder of the supply being derived from
abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. For
the time of year, we were scantily supplied with Sheep,
the numbers of which were some thousands less than
those shown on Monday last. There was a better feeling
in the Mutton trade, although we cannot call it brisk.
The very primest old Downs sold, in most instances, at
from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs, being an improv.ement in
value of 2d per 81bs. All other breeds of Sheep were in
fair request, and in some cases prices ruled somewhat
higher than last week. We have to report an improved
demand for Calves, the supply of which was small, and
Friday's advance in the currencies of 2d per 81bs was
steadily supported. Very few of the Calves were above
the middle quality. There was very little improvement
in the Pork trade; nevertheless prices wore fairly sup-
ported in every instance. Very few Pigs have come tO
hand from Ireland for some time past.

NEUTGATE AND LEADEiSTnAL ~
Very extensive supplies of country-killed meat have
been received up to our markets, since Monday last.
♦;z., 900 carcasses of Beef ; 2,200 ditto of Mutton ; 800
ditto of Veal ; and 3,200 ditto of Pork. Those on offer
slaughtered in the metropolis, have been very extensive,
hence, the general demand has ruled excessively dull.
Prime Beef and Mutton have sold at the late decline in
value, but most other kinds of meat have gone off oil
easier terms. About 1,000 carcases of foreign meat
have been disposed of.

Very moderate supplies of Potatoes have come to hand
coastwise since Monday last. The imports from abroad
have, however, been large—viz., 960 tons from Rouen it
70 ditto from St. Valery; 200 ditto from Dunkirk; 230,
ditto from Havre; 2,700 bags from Rotterdam; and 430'

WOOL.
Last weeks imports of Wool into London were corn*
posed of 650 bales from Port Beaufort, 500 ditto from
Sydney, 60 ditto from the Cape, and 230 ditto from Ham'
burgh. On the whole a steady business is doing in mosskinds of Wool by private contract. In prices we have
no change to notice.

TALLOW.
From the return of particulars it appears tho
the stock has increased to upwards of 35,000 casks:
This heavy supply, together with its being known the*
there are still nearly 5,000 casks on their way hither
from St. Petersburgh, keeps our market in a quiet state.
However, the consumptive demand must be considers"
good, at fully last week's quotations. P.Y.C. on the
spot is selling, this morning, at 45s per cwt. The same
quotation has been paid for Town Tallow net cob,
Itough fat, 2s 7d per Blbs.
