HANOVER.

-- -- - - - - ---
MAY 24.—The important question whether the
One or two chamber system is to be introduced
among us has just been decided by the second cham-
bers in its second discussion of the chapter of the
estates of the country. By an amendment proposed
by M. HARTELMANN, 83 was to be worded " The
General Assembly of the Estates consists of one
chamber." This amendment was put to the vote,
and was negatived by 54 against 26, consequently
the United Hanoverian Diet will in future be com-
Posed of two chambers.—Hamburgh Correspondent,
Iday 26.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY, PIEDMONT, AND

VENICE.

intelligence was received in Milan on Thursday
that General NUGENT had effected a junction with
ItADJITSICY at Verona, at the head of 5,000 men.
The next accounts from the seat of war will probably
bring us intelligence of the capture of Peschiera.
Our latest accounts were to the evening of the 21st.
The fire of the besiegers had not ceased since the
morning. CHARLES ALBERT, as usual, was present
at this attack, on the heights of Cavalcaselle. The
fort of Mandella was almost completely dismantled;
the Austrians raised the white flag twice, but no
attention Wits paid to this invitation in the Piedmon-
tese camp. The different regiments disputed among
themselves for the honour of being the first to mount
the assault. The KING decided that this right be-
longed to the regiment &Aosta, which has suffered
the most. The Duke of GENOA directs the siege.

NAPLES.
PROCLAMATION BY THE KING.

The following proclamation relative to the recent
Insurrection was issued on the 16th :

" An act of flagrant illegality took place in this capi-
tal in the night of the 14th, when barricades were auda-
ciously thrown up in the midst of the public streets, with
the criminal design of causing a collision calculated to
overthrow order, and to cause the effusion of civic blood;
and it was melancholy to see that a part of that Na-
tional Guard, instituted to protect the security and
Tranquility of families, not only took a part in so deplor-
able a disturbance, but was the first to attack the royal
troops, who, seeing their companions fall under the un-
'oxpected fire of fratricidal arms, were forced to employ
the sacred right of defence, and by an impulse of Just
indignation which it was impossible to repress, hastened
forward to repel force by force. After some hours of
conflict, the mass of those who wished to overthrow the
State was definitively subdued and dispersed; tranquil-
lity is already everywhere restored, and the most ener-
getic measures have been taken to trace the true origin
of so criminal an attempt, to discover and bring its
authors to justice. Let the loyal citizens be meantime
assured that the severest vigilance will be employed by
the King's Government to prevent disorders of such a
nature being henceforth repeated, and new obstacles ille-
gally raised against the maintenance and full exercise of
those liberties which the constitution has solemnly esta-
blished, and which his Majesty is firmly resolved to
Protect in all their integrity. The National Guard of
the city of Naples, which has so badly repaid the confi-
dence placed in it, has already been dissolved, to be at a
Altura period reorganised according to law; the Legis-
lative Chambers, whose meeting had been yesterday
prevented by the event, will speedily be convoked again
by another decree, to establish by their authoritative
assistance the principles of order, legality, and general
Prosperity that form the prime object of the attention of
the King's Government. It is our will, therefore, that
the friends of order and liberty be re-assured respecting
whatever by legal means may tend to promote the hap-
piaetss of this our common country."
The following is the new Neapolitan Ministry,
-which, says a letter from Naples, is far from satisfy-
ing public opinion :—Prince Canati, Foreign Affairs,
and President of the Council ; •Bozzelli, Interior and
Public Instruction ; Prince Porella, Agriculture,
Commerce and Ecclesiastical Affairs ; General Ca-
-I'ascosa, Public Works ; Paolo Ruggieri, Finance ;
Prince d'lschitella, War and Marine.

The following is the latest from Naples. Jt ap-
pears in the Constitutionmel, and is of the date of the
18th May :
" Order reigns at Naples, after three days of massacre,
Pillage, conflagration, assassination, throat-cutting, and
other outrages too disgusting to recapitulate. The last
of the Bourbons, with his praetorians and his populace,
ought surely to be satisfied. They are literally gorged
with blood. The Swiss guards of Ferdinand have ex-
ceeded in cruelty and cowardice the Croats of Radetaky!
It is an ineffaceable stigma on the Swiss nation, which,
placarding principles of equality and liberty at home,
lends out these hordes of ruffians and cut-throats to the
Petty tyrants of Europe, to aid them in the assassination
and pillage of their people."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL IN WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotten market at Liverpool on Saturday there
was more animation. Sales nearly 6,000 bales. Prices
were steady. Railway shares were dull, and prices were
generally lower.
The Corn market, ovring to the fine weather and large
arrivals is lower, wheat and barley by la. per quarter.
Matters wear a very tranquil, not to say impassive
and heavy aspect in the City to-day. The conviction of
Mr. Mitchel, however, is deemed a satisfactory circum-
stance, although some have apprehensions of disturt-
ances resulting therefrom. The Spanish question, yet
remains to be adjusted, and the correspondence pub-
lished seems to be interpreted favourably to Mr. Bulwer.
If so, the insult is one to be resented, as our City poli-
ticians conceive. The Danish affair is apparently in
a feir train for settlement, but there can be no doubt
that the Government at Copenhagen will be more than
ever determined to obtain full justice.
A few letters and papers of Jae. 19 have come to hand
from South Australia. The colony was very prosperous,
and land was rising materially in value. The great
want experienced was of labour to carry forward the
agricultural and mining pursuits of the settlement.
The following particulars relative to the iron trade
have come to hand from Birmingham:—
"Since our last remarks the general tenor of all trans-
actions in the iron trade has been drooping, and the
prospect of amendment is too far removed to incite spe-
culative investment, while the export consumption re-
mains at the lowest possible ebb.
The late consecutive concessions in price, though
affording a momentary relief in some instances, have
failed to produce any increase of orders; on the other
hand, they are daily becoming scarcer. Working short
time is fully resorted to, and a greater number of hands
must inevitably be soon thrown entirely out of employ.
The receipts of the country shopkeepers and small
tradespeople already exhibit is fearful deficiency, as con-
trasted with former activity. We observe, however,
that a further increase of the make in the raw material
has taken place by the blowing-in again of one or two
additional furnaces.
" The pressure of the late monetary crisis, and the
present stagnation of business, have doubtless been
heavily felt by houses of every grade, and must, if pro-
longed, produce still further disastrous results.
"The question is, whether we have arrived at the
lowest point, or whether something further is to occur
than the sanctioning of what has already taken place.
In the accounts from Liverpool, dated the Nth inst., we
read—' We have still to report a downward tendency in
the market;' and of Pig Iron, there is no change to
mention; the market seems quite inactive, with a falling
demand, and an increased make.'"
There is again a dull market for the Public Securities,
and, without money purchases, no immediate improve-
meat appears likely. Speculators for a rise are disin-
clined to operate at present above 84, which, until poli-
tical events are quieter, is considered a fair value. It is
remarked, tee, that the unfunded debt experiences diur-
nally a reduction in its market value. Exchequer-bills
have been down to 355. and 31s. premium, al-
though they are ;secured 21-d. to 3d. per centum
per them until March next. Clearly there is a want of
money, either among the jobbers or out of the house.
East India Bonds have been 20s. to 21s. premium. Bank
Stock was 191 to 1921. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. realised 83,i f, and the Three per Cents. 821 I.
Consuls have been 84k to 841.
Dullness is also the pervading feature in the Foreign
Market, but, probably in anticipation of the settlement,
Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds have risen from 211 / to
221 /. The Passive Bonds have been at 3/. Mexican
Stock has been quoted 15k, Equador 2, and Venezuela
18. Dirch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have varied from
411 to 421.
In the Railway Share Market there is an appearance
of apathy, and prices are not so good.
