ITALY.

The accounts which we yesterday gave of an insur-
rection in the Valteline are confirmed.

The Concordia of the 28th ult. says the Valleline
is in a state of insurrection. The bridge over the
Adda is destroyed. For some hours the sound of the
tocsin and the firing of cannon have been heard in
the direction of Orgegno.
The Corriere lifercantile of Genoa, of the 26th
Oct. says, " Letters from Milan report that Chiavenne
has risen, and that one of the brothers Douttlit, at
the head of 600 or 800 men, had come down from
the mountains, and made prisoners of the Austrian
garrison, and proclaimed a republic. DoLziNI is
causing part of the military road from Lecco to be
blown up, and , will fortify himself from the lake of
Como to Colico. The inhabitants of Chiavenne seeing
themselves thus isolated, wish DOLAINI to give up the
undertaking.
In the provinces of Brains. and Bergamo a guerilla
war is incessantly carried on against the Austrians.
Como also is in insurrection. The Austrians have
been driven out of the town, and the Italian tricolor
floats from the cathedral tower.

The two following proclamations have been issued
by RADETZKY. The first is addressed to the soldiers
of the garrison of Vienna, the second to his own
army :

" Milan, Oct. 16.

"I em not your Commanding General. You are not
accustomed to the sound of my voice, or to follow me
to battle ; but as Field•Marahal, and as the oldest sol-
dier of the army [Radetzky is nearly eighty years of
age], I feel that I have a right to address you. Un-
heard-of events have taken place under you eyes! Aus-
tria's spotless banner has been tarnished by treason and
blood. Your Emperor has been compelled a second
time to fly from his capital. The War Minister,
Master• General of the Ordnance, Count Latour, has
been barbarously, scandaloualy murdered, and his corpse
dishonoured. A brave General fell, as they say, by the
hand of a grenadier I A grenadier battalion forgot its
duty in the midst of orgies and shameful drunkenness.
It refused obedience, and—oh, eternal shame l —fired
upon its faithful comrades. Soldiers of the Vienna gar.-
rison ! in the name of your comrades of the Italian
army, I call upon you to tell me—have you done your
duty ? Where was the guard that ought to have de-
fended the murdered General Latour, who ought to
have perishtd to the last man, at his feet, ere they
abandoned him to the bloodthirsty fury of an excited
populace ? Where are these traitors that have east
shame upon our standards ? Have they met with
deserved punishment, or do they drag on their trea-
cherous existence, concealed amidst the ranks of the
insurgents ? Soldiers I anguish overcame me, tears
fell from my aged eyes, when intelligence of infamy,
unheard of hitherto in the annals of the Austrian
army, came to my astonished ears I One consolation
remained, however, to me. It was only a small band
who thus scandalously betrayed their honour, and basely
forsook their duty. On you, ye true and valiant men,
depends the safeguard of the throne of your Emperor,
and the consolidation of those institutions which he, in
his fatherly goodness, accorded to his people, and which
an insurgent horde hat e shamefully abused. Soldiers,
open your eyes to the abyss that yawns at your feet 1
Everything is at stake. The foundation of the social
edifice is shaken. Morality, religion, and property ar,
menaced with destruction. They seek to annihilate
everything that men hold dear and holy—everything
which constitutes the basis of general welfare and pros-
perity. That, and not freedom, is the ebject of these
agitators, who seek to entice you into shame and destruc-
tion. Soldiers, in your hands rests the defence of the
throne, the maiatenance of the empire! May Almighty
Providence grant me the favour to live to see the day
when it shall be proclaimed aloud, The army saved
Austria.' Then, and then only, will the unhallowed days of
the 6th and 7th of October he atoned for and obliterated
—then will the army of Italy, now engaged in detending
the frontiers of the empire, exte❑d to you the hand of
brotherhood.

(Stned) "RADETZKY."
"11.—GENERAL ORDER.
" Milan, Oct. 18.

" Soldiers—l communicated to you i❑ a general order
the appeal which I addressed to the garrison of Vienna.
You will have seen by that general order that the Gre-
nadier battalion (Richter) betrayed its duty, mutinied,
and fired upon its comrades. I have since then received
intelligence, that this battalion, fully repentant, has re-
turned to its duty, and as a convincing proof of its re-
pentance, has demanded to be placed at the head of the
first column of attack. Soldiers! I made you acquainted
with the disgrace of this battalion, it is just that you
shoal bear of its repentance.
(Signed)

THB TOWER HAMLETS AND MR. GEORGE THOMP-
SON, M.P.—Last night a meeting of the electors and
non-electors of the Tower Hamlets was held in the
Royal British Institution, Cowper-atreet, City-road, f it
the purpose of affording Mr. Thompson an opportunity
of rendering his constituents an account of his Parlia-
mentary conduct during the last session. The large
room was densely crowded on the occasion. After
having heard Mr. Thompson render his Parliamentary
account, a resolution, expressive of the unabated confi-
dence of the meeting in Mr. Thompson's political con-
duct, was proposed by Mr. John Scoble, secretary to
the Anti-Slavery Society, seconded by Mr. Brook, and
carried by acclamation. We have prepared a full report
of the proceedings of this very interesting meeting, but,
from a press of matter, we are unavoidably compelled to
postpone its publication until to-morrow.
LORD CLARENDON'S GENEALOGY.—IIIS Excellency
derives his descent from Oliver Cromwell, through his
mother, Theresa Parker, who was the great •great-grand-
daughter of Frances Cromwell, the Protector's youngest
child. Tracing the lino downwards, it may be stated
thus:—Frances Cromwell married Sir John Russell, of
Chippenharn, Cambridgeshire. Their daughter Eliza-
beth married Sir Thomas Frankland, Frances Frankland
married Thomas Worsley, of Hovingham, and bad a
daughter Frances, who became the wite of Sir Thomas
' Robinson, afterwards Lord Grantham. Of his Lord-
ship's children, Theresa married John Parker, after-
wards Lord Boringdon, whose daughter Theresa mar-
ried George Villiers, of the noble house of Jersey. And
their eldest son, George William Frederick, succeeded
his late uncle as Earl of Clarendon, and-Baron Hyde, of
llindon, in the county of Wilts.

MONEY and C0M.71,-ERCIAL 'SEWS.

CITY, QUAI?TER TO THREE.
The Livf.rpool Cotto❑ Market yesterday was very
firm, but not so buoyant as on Tuesday. The sales were
estimated at 6,000 bales, including 5,000 American. of
which 500 were on speculation; 150 Bahia realised 4td.,
and 600 Surat 24d. to 2171 per lb.—There was not so
good a demand for shares, the transactions being more
limited, and prices towards the close of the market gave
way.

The decline which is noticed in the accounts
from America as having occurred in the rate of
exchange at New York, has led to some refit ction as
to the probability of an exportation of the precious
metals from England, but upon this score we think
there is no present cause for apprehension. Money in
the London Discount Market is exceedingly cheap upon
Government and first-rate mercantile securities, but
seeond•class bills are charged with rather free latitude.
On the Continent there is an ample supply of bullion
generally. At Amsterdam the rate for loans has this
week been 2i, and for discounts 3 per cent. At Ham-
burgh cash continues abundant, but there was an in-
creased demand for bills on London, which may ere
long have some effect in absorbing a portion of the
floating capital.
REDUCTION OF DISCOUNTS.

That the Directors of the Bank of England hate no
apprehension on the head of bullion exports may be in-
ferred from the fact of their having this morning die,
counted good bills as low as 3 per cent., their previous
minimum being 3i per cent.
We remarked yesterday that we did not think the
railway crusade would terminate immediately. Further
attacks and continued vigilance will be needed to oppose
the active researches of the parties - inimical to railway
property, or only professedly anxious to improve it by
investigation. Were such conducted upon fair promises
no one could object, since nothing is safe as an invest•
ment that will ❑ot bear the severest probing. To eaten-
late unflinchingly and conclude dogmatically from au
undigested mass of figures designedly made, for the
purpose of effect, to include abandoned branches, was
obviously so disingenuous as to merit in its fullest extent
the reprobation awarded to it. A Mr. Robert Frank
Cleveland has now published a pamphlet on the North-
Western line, acid as it is right the public should
have the earliest opportunity of hearing.all:sides, and of
judging for themselves, we give one or tem extracts
" bearing" the line in question. The writers alluding to
the company's statement in detail that has just appeared,
observes that the capital paid, and yet to be raised is
30,234,4191, but that the mortgage (debentures we
presume) amounts to 9,186,6721., and he thus asserts
that—

" The detailed account, now published, °Nile engage-
ments and liabilities of the concern, (if we take for
granted that the calls will be regularly paid up, and that
the estimate of further outlay is not to be exceeded),
shows that the total funds of the company will
fall short 4,814,265/. of the amount yet required. The
future traffic of the lines, consequently, is to provide not
only for the dividends, but for this deficiency of
4,514,2651., in the event of the public confidence in their
undertaking not being sufficient to enable them to renew
their loans. With respect to this future traffic, the re-
marks upon the guaranteed lines may be considered
satisfactory by the sanguine portion or-the shareholders;
but, as the directors justly admit, 'they- do not offer
any early or flattering prospects of profit,' the re-
sults being necessarily ' problematical,' and therefore
the directors merely assume that the liabilities will be
met by the proceeds.'"
It is almost impossible here to avoid asking a pule-
tion which must strike the mind of every reader, via.,
" What prospect have these unfinished lines in the way
of remuneration which the lines now working do not
possess? Cannot a line from London to Birmingham or
Liverpool pay; or must it be carried through Scotland
to make it remunerative?"

Now the pamphlet in question comes so hastily under
our notice, that being anxious to give shareholders the
earliest intimation of any matter affecting, or likely to
affect, their interest, and not to allow speculators to get
the first " hint," we give the above statement without
having had time to verity it.
The Federicton (New Brunswick) .Reporter says;---
"We are intormed on the best authority, that our
Canadian Boundary Line dificulties are at last settled
and on terms which recognise the full rights of New
Brunswick. We believe the difference between the
line marked out some time ago by the Honourable
Surveyor. General of this province, and that now
adopted is very trifling."
From Pictou, Nora Scotia, we have the following :
" The crops are now pretty generally housed through.
out this country, and from anything we can learn re.
specting the quantity of grain in the country, it appears
that owing to the unfavourable weather that we have
had for the last few weeks, both for ripening and
harvesting the grain, the crop is tar below an average.
This is the case more particularly among the back set-
tlements, from some of which we learn that the whole of
the crop secured by the farmers this season will not
more than feed their families till the month of February
or March. There is no doubt that much distress will
be found in the country unless some-means be devised
by the Legislature to enable the people to obtain
money with which to buy food, and to enable them to
save, from what I.ttlo they have, a sufficiency of seed for
next season."
The Funds were heavy early in the day, but have
taken a decided start since, Consols having rallied from
85i to 86 t, since the reduction in the discounts be.
came known. Exchequer-bills of June have been 4.25. to
455. premium. Bank Stock has been at 189 to New

Railway Shares, though not supporting the highest
rates of Tuesday, are looking well, and may close higher
crc the market shuts this afternoon.
