MILITARY RIOTN IN ROME.

ROME, June 26.—The peace of the Eternal City
has been disturbed for some days by sanguinary
conflicts between French and Roman soldiery, and
the feud has assumed a more threatening aspect
from an apparent disposition on the part of the
populace to take a share in the frays, which are
renewed in different quarters of the city, with an
auxiliary brickbat or two in aid of the national
troops. On Saturday last a Roman artilleryman
was mortally wounded by the French, and some
other fatal consequences on both sides are said to
have arisen from this hostile state of affairs. Courts-
martial are held by the French authorities ; and if
the offending parties can be caught and identi-
fied, condemnation to the hulks usually follows
the row in a few days. The Colosseum was
the aptly selected locality for these gladiatoral per-
, formances on Thursday last, which day being the
festival of St. John afforded a good number of un-
occupied umpires and spectators of the fights. ..The,
wooded gardens on the Ceelian • Hill were akin=
mishecl through with varied success; hard blows
being given and taken on both sides, and the mis-
sile style of warfare much resorted to on account of
tLe penalty of death awaiting the first military
rioter who draws his sword, the French general
being determined if possible to put a stop to so dan-
gerous a kind of amusement. The French were
fortunate enough to get reinforcements in the
course of the engagement, and the Romans in con-
sequence were con iderably outnumbered, so that
they were put to flight and pursued by their
enraged adversaries along the Via Sacra and the
Roman Forum, up the steep ascent to the Capitol,
which ancient stronghold afforded no protection to
the retrea'iug forces, and the chase was continued
until the narrow lanes on the other side received
the fugitives in detail and puzzled the pursuers.
Several wounded French brought up the rear,
en route for the hospital last night., before the
rappel called the soldiers to their barracks. HO3-.
tile bands were biting their thumbs at each other
en =he Bridge of St. Angel-, the Piazza Sore, and
that neighbourhood, where expectant crowds were
colltctea in hopes of witnessing a battle ; but, with
the exception of a skirmish in ;he Via dei Coronari,
• the presence of numerous groups of officers and
strong patrols prevented any serious conflict.

MARKET Li WS. (Tins Da3 )

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, about an average supply of English wheat
has been received up to our market this week—viz., 1,030
qrs. Fresh up to-day, however, by land carriage the re-
c'oipts were limited ; hence the show of samples was small.
On the whole, the demand ruled steady, and Monday's
improvement in value was well supported. Foreign wheat
—the imports of which are 1 ,2,10 quarters—was in fair
request, at very full prices, and therevas a better demand.
for floating cargoes.

ScarcelY-anyEnglish barley was on show, but the supply
of foreign was good. The trade ruled steady, at full

There was rather more doing in malt, on former terms.
We had a fair demand for oats at full quotations. Theo
supplies from the Continent continue large.
Beans, peas, and flour, were quite as dear as on Monday..
