THE ITALIAN CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES.

---
The Conference met yesterday at the hour appointed,
but did not proceed to business until near twelve. A.
F. V. Burromeo again occupied the chair. The number
of del-gates had considerably increased, there being go
lass than thirty-nine present. A number of letters and
documents were iead from parties, some ..f considerable
influence, expressing sympathy with the movement.
The CserituArr, in rising to address the meeting, re'
gretted that he occupied a post that would have been SO
much more worthily filled by any of those many gentle
men who composed the conference. He had only ec"
oozied to the request made him by his friends around to
fulfill that post, for fear of bir
present in a situation that, when he returned to
country, might entail upon him many inconveniences!:
anent nearly successful in 1348, of forming
Placing any other gentler:ors
The sole object of the conference was to revive the move
tion of the Italian States, having for iatSc° Cnefttirea;
controlling power. Many might differ with regard tel!
the best means of reviving the movement on soena
grounds ; but no one could doubt that the oulf
prospect of Italy's regeneration lay in the moveMeDi
they had so happily begun. For it was vain for thrill
to believe that the unarmed efforts of a people, however
well concerted and briefly contested, could ever over-
come the power of an empire, aided by the enormous in-
fluence and arms of foreign allies. Their movement war
essentially a moral force agitation, and he trusted that
it would be fully understood as such.
Signor CURIONI moved the following resolution :--
" Trim immediate steps be taken by the National Con•
sti, utional League of Italy to prepare an address, setting
forth the claims of Italy to have her wants carefully and
calmly considered by the various powers of Europe, with
a view of obtaining tbeir support in furtherance of ties
principle:, of the League."
Signor CORRENTI moved that after the word Europe
should be added, "and especially those (Powers) that
had signed the treaty of Vienna in 1815."
Signor LITTA, another delegate, opposed the alters-,
tion, which was, atter a short time, withdrawn, and the
resolution, as originally submitted to the meeting, Wig
passed unanimously.
The Cavaliers CASTINE moved "That a committee of
three be appinted, composed of Signori Branubilla, Litta,
and Die Ctsts; to draw up the address, and submit it to
the attention of the Conference of Italian Constitutional
DdeLates, if possible, to enaule the committee to per-
form the task allotted them, that the conference be ad•
journed at 3 o'clock p.m.
After sums discussion the resolution was agreed too
and the meeting adjourned to this day.

MONEY
•

i3D
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENC

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Provision having now becn m? de for the com-
mercial bills due this day, the 4th of the month,
the demand for money is somewhat quieter, but it
is thought, and the advice 3 from the manufacturing
districts warrant the impression, that henceforward
the improvement in business, will be sufficient to
produce a grad ual extension of the enquiry. So great
is the amount of unemployed capital, however, now
offered on easy terms, that some time must ne-
cessarily elapse before enough is withdrawn to im-
part more firmness to the quotations asked in
Lombard-street, as the renewal of business, under
the most favourable circumstances, will no doubt
prove very slow for some few months. Of course the
bill-makers will take the earliest opportunity
for elevating their charges ; but at present there is
too much competition among them to admit of any
material alteration. In some quarters, however,
money cannot now be procured on such moderate
terms as those required a few days since; 21 instead
of 21 percent., being demanded for good descriptions
of paper. With the minimum at 3 per cent., no one
can object to that rate. Until recently many were
confidently of opinion that the directors would make

a► reduction to 2i per cent., but that hope is no
longer indulged, and the public generally express
their approval of the course pursued at the national
establishment, beclse no substantial benefit
can be derived from the official t-rma being
forced to a lower point than that which is now
established. The accounts just received from
Australia apprise us of further large consignments
of gold, and even if the purchases of silver should
necessitate a few withdrawals from the B ink, they
will not produce anxiety as the defect so occasioned
would be replaced whenever any lsrge remittances
were received either from Australia or America.

A small portion of the am )unt couv.-yed by the
Donald Mc Kay,—viz., 20,0001., was taken into
the Bulk yesterday.

About 60,0001. worth of silver was brought yes-
terday by the Srine from Boulogne.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and values of all descriptions were id. per
lb. dearer. The sales am, unted to 6,000 bales,
600 of which were taken by the speculators. la the
Railway Share Market the business transacted was
limited, but prices were fully maintained.
There was a meeting of the Geelong and Ballarat
Railway Co. to-day, at which it was agreed to leave
the public balance, of about 72/., in the hands of
the directors for their trouble, as the expense of dis-
tributing that amount over the large number of
"hares would consume the amount.

A. meeting was called by two parties to-day, at
the London Tavern, to bring some complaint
against the management of the Unity Bank, but at
the appointed hour no supporters of the movement
appearing, the meeting,which was large, appointed
a chairman, and passed a ♦ote of censure on the
conveners, and one of confidence in the Directors
Of the Unity Bank, after which they separated.
There has been an improved market to-day for
English Securities, and a moderate business has
been done at an advsnce of per cent. The
settlement of the account being over business has
%lightly increased, and the easy state of the money
Market together with the confidence expressed in
the new Ministry has caused a partial return of
buoyancy. Consols have risen to 97 and 971 for
Money, and 971 I for account. At the present
Moment, however, the market has relapsed into a
heavy state, the prices being 96111 and 96i to 97
respectively. The New Three per Cents. have
been dealt in at 97a f, but have since been 971 1.
The Reduced are marked 97g I. Exchequer Bills
are 38s. to 41s. premium. Bank Stock is 225 to
2261.

Business in the Foreign Stock Market is quiet,
and prices exhibit an upward tendency. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 1014 102; ditto 4 per Cents.,
104} I ; Peruvian 44 per Cents., 80i ; Russian 5
per Cents., 109 it ; ditto 411 per Cents., 99/ 100;
and Sardinian 5 per Cents., 91.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5/ 61 ; Mexi-
can, 235 to 20f ; Peruvtan 45 per Cents, 80 to 81 ;
Ditto 3 per Cents., 56 to 57 ; Portuguese 3 per

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Com-
Pany's steamer City of Baltimore passed Cork about
/30011 yesterday. She brings one day's later news from
New
York, but as a strong easterly gale was prevailing
'n Channel, with a heavy sea at the time of her passing
Cork, it is uncertain at what hour she may arrive to-
t4orrow.
THE SWANSEA CONVICTS.—The two Greek sailors,
or,'-'elPhanta and Halius, who were convicted at Swansea
,-4 Saturday, and sentenced to death for the barbarous
l'Order of a shipmate, will be executed at Cardiff It
14841(1 there has never been a public execution at Swan-
:. The convicts behave themselves in a very careless
llnner. The Sheriff of the county waited upon them
oaSlinday, when one of them, pointing to own neck,
with a significant gesture, "Me hang to-morrow.
Was told that he would not be hanged for some days,
AUt
at he appeared desirous that the execution should come
once, and repeated, "No, no ; hang to-morrow !
Zapriest of the Greek Church has been sent for from
40011 to attend the convicts.
