ITALY.

A letter from Rome, in the Opinion of Turin, of
the 7th, announces the occupation of Terni by the
Austrians, and adds that 10,000 Austrians are ex-
pected at Perugia, Assisi, Foligno, and other places
in that quarter. At the same time the King of
NAPLES is sending troops towards the frontiers of his
territory. Hence the writer is led to conclude that
the Austrians and Neapolitans are going to form a
single continuous military line.
The Progresso of Turin of the sth states, from
private correspondence, that a camp of 60,000 men is
to be formed between the Adda and the Oglio (Lom-
bardy). RedoLbts have been added to the fortifica-
tions of Verona, Peschiera, and Mantua, and forts are
to be raised at Rivoli, on the right bank of the
Adige, and at Seramo, on the opposite bank. New
defensive works are also to be raised at Padua, Ver-
dare, and Venice. The railways that are considered
important in a strategic point of view are pushed on
with activity. The Mantua and Verona line is already
completed.

VARIOUS STYLES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I was surprised to learn that y our friend Mr.
Cobden prefers the style of the weekly to that of the
daily newspapers, the exact opposite having always
forced itself on my mind. The daily newspapers are
generally in the manly or military style of a person
walking up to the subject ho is master of, saying cour-
teously what he thinks without study, and prepared to
stand by it, but the weekly papers, except the Dispatch,
however talented, are more studied than prepared,
founded on collections rather than impressions. Quaint-
ness or quintessence must needs be full of point, and
" nothing injures warmth in writing more than the
wish to stick everywhere striking passages" obligato:
the compressed style is the most artificial.
Rather than all things wit let none be there.
Men doubt, because they stand so thick i' th' sky,
It those be stars that paint the galaxy.
It has been stated that 80,000 pamphlets were pub-
lished during the old French Revolution, and, notwith-
standing the cause was impracticable, and the leaders,
except one, purchaseable, all well written—because the
authors wrote either from deep conviction or—to save
their necks; and consequently they had no time for
points and sentences, but only wished to be clear and
strong. Napoleon charged his secretaries—"Soyez clear
et le reate viendra."—l remain, Sir, &0.,

MARLBRO'-STREE T—(THIS DAY).
AN ARTFUL VAGRANT.—Patrick Connor, a sturdy
Irishman, was charged before Mr. Bingham with beg-
ging in the public swats.
Hereford stated, that yesterday afternoon he was in
Regent-street, when he saw the prisoner go up to two
ladies and soli&t alms. Knowing him to be a confirmed
beggar, witness went up to him, and told him he should
take him into custody on the charge of begging. Th•
prisoner denied the accusation, and, pulling from his
pocket a match-box, said he was trying to sell them to
the ladies. He took the box from the prisoner, and on
opening it found it empty. He then took him to the
station. Horsford added, that lately it had become the
practice with street beggars to carry " dummy" boxes
as a blind to their real calling, and the prisoner was one
of the oldest hands at it.

The prisoner, who stoutly denied the charge, said he
wss not begging; he had just sold the matches to a lady,
and as she did not want the box, be put it into his pocket
in order to have it re- filled.

Mr. BINGHAM said he should put a stop to the priso-
ner's " dodge" for seven days, and committed him to
prison for that period accordingly.

MARKET NE W 6.-(141IS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE--WEDNESDAY.
Although the supply of English Wheat in to-day's
market was very moderate, the demand for all descrip-
tions—owing, chiefly from the small number of buyers
in attendance—ruled inactive; yet Monday's prices were
generally supported. Nearly 19,000 quarters of Foreign
Wheat have reached us this week, chiefly from the west-
ward. Stlected qualities changed hands, at Lull rates of
currer.cy; but the middling and inferior kinds were
much neglected. The Flour trade ruled dull. The im-
ports aro 2,440 sacks and 1,920 barrels. Fine parcels
were quite as dessr as last week. Malting Barley was
held at full quotations. In grinding and distilling sorts,
as well us Malt, exceedingly little was doing. We had a
fair inquiry for Oats, at full prices; but Beans, Peas, and
Indian Curn were almost nominal.
