THE ITALIAN QUESTION.

A letter from Berlin, dated 6th November, in
the Independance Beige, says—
" The political world here is occupied with an in-
cident of the Warsaw meeting, the signification of
which cannot be overlooked. It will be remem-
bered that the Emperor Alexander, before-the Con-
ference met, had addressed to the Emperor Napo-
leon a letter destined to re-assure him on the
character of the interview and on its eventual re-
sults. That letter was a reply to another letter
which the Emperor Alexander had previously re-
ceived from the Emperor of the French.
" The Emperor Napoleon, it seems, wrote a second
letter to the Emperor Alexander while the Confer-
ence was taking place at Warsaw. He first thanks
the Emperor for the pacific assurances he has given
him. Then, turning to the affairs of Italy, he is said
to have expressed his regret at recent events, which
it was not in his power to prevent.
"As regards the eventualities of the future, it
would result from the Imperial letter that, if Sar-
diall vrere attacl:ccl, France would hold herself
bound to defend her; but if, on the contrary, Sar-
dinia should attack Austria, France would abstain
from taking part in the struggle, on the condition,
however, that Austria should declare that, what-
ever might be the issue of the war, the Villafranca
preliminaries should be respected."

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very poor show of English wheat was here to • day,
both as to quantity and quality. Owing to the continued
large influx from abroad, millers operated with extreme
caution ; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change
took place in prices.
The imports from abroad are over 5G,000 quarters. How-
ever, good and fine qualities were in fair request, on former
terms; but damp parcels were rather lower to purchase.
Floating cargoes were held on former terms, but the de-
mand for them was by no means active.
The barley trade was in a healthy state, and prices were
well supported.
No change took place in the value of malt. Both old and
new were in fair demand.

The supply of foreign oats being rather large, the oat
trade ruled inactive, and inferior parcels were rather
cheaper.
Beans and peas were very firm in price ; but the demand
for flour was much restricted, at barely last rates.

BOROUGH HOP.
The declaration of the duty, and the large arrivals of
foreign hops, have produced some inactivity in the demand
generally, at drooping prices.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—There has been a very limited inquiry, and prices
have remained without alteration.
S [MAIL—A. fair demand has been experienced for refining
qualities, but business has in sonae measure been checked by
the high rates demanded by holders. British West India
of good quality realised high rates. In the refined market
late quotations are fully maintained.
COFFEE.—There has been a steady demand for planta-
tion Ceylon, and at public sale late prices were sustained
for the better qualities.
B,lcE,—An extensive business has been done in East
India, at fully late quotations ; the finer qualities of Caro-
lina showing an upward tendency.
FRUIT.—The market has continued firm, and the finer
qualities of currants have advanced in value. Valentia
raisens, at public sale, went at enhanced prices, owing to
the shortness of stocks on hand.
SALTPETRE.—The market has been very quiet, and
quotations are unaltered.
TALLOW.—Rather less buoyancy has been apparent, and
prices show a downward movement. P.Y.C. on the spot,
