RUSSIAN INFLUENCE IN ITALY.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of Jan. 27, says
ci
—" The Russian Cabinet is now actively occupied
with the question of Naples. We are assured that
news has arrived from that country which is by n",
means favourable. M. de Kakoschine has conse
quently received orders again to call the attention of
the King of Naples to the possible consequences 0
persisting in the political system which he now pil'..
"
sues, in opposition to public opinion, and contrary
to the formally expressed wishes of the Wester'
Powers. It is well known that Russia exerts a ,
always
cer-
tainanl ount of influence at Naples, and that she
employed it in the cause of order and peacoef
It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Government,
Naples will be disposed to listen to her course:'
r.
But, at the same time, Count Chreptowitz has jo
ceived orders to make renewed representations ,a
London, with respect to the affairs of Naples, fr.,o
accordance with the spirit of Prince Gortsehakoted,
circular of.ihe 2d of December. It has been st 3,sra
here that England was about to send some Milo
vessels into the Bay of Naples, in addition tctent
frigate which-is there at present. Our govern:J.lm..
could not but regard such a measure, under
ing circumstances, as a very perilous demonstrat.sw,"o

MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'Ccocir.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closet
Without animation, but prices were steady. The
sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,500 of which were
taken for export and speculaticn. In the Railway
Share Market there was no feature of importance,
but the quotations were firmly maintained.
The Bank of !England return, which extends to
the end of last month, is not considered favourable,
for although contrary to general expectation, there
18 an increase in the bullion, the aggregate amount
of other securities has seriously increased ; besides
Which, the revenue of notes has further declined.
The changes in the two latter items are no doubt
attributable to the preparations already made for
the 4th inst., when a considerable amount of C3lll-
- bills bad to be paid off. with regard to
the bullion, movement has been chiefly caused by
the reflux of gole coin from Ireland, ai the receipts
of specie have lately been so very unimportant.
Probably the next return will show a falling off,
but the expected arrivals from the Australian
colonies will no doubt soon replace the sums
recently withdrawn to the Continent. The prin-
cipal items and the changes they present will be
seen by the following table :

There is no diminution in the demand for dis-
counts, the market during the last few days bay-
ing been exceedingly tight. This continued incon-
venience creates much anxiety y ascertain what
course will be taken by the Government with re-
gard to the currency. Although Sir G. C. Lewis
fit, evening intimated that no alteration is pro-
Posed, the remarks made by those who followed
biln in the debate have given satisfaction, since
they show that the feeling of the house is in favour
of some amendment.
The efflux of gold during the past week has been
less rapid, but it hag, nevertheless, preserved its
characteristic steadiness. A further sum of 20,000/.

'week about 130,000/. to 140,000/.

extremely dull, and a heavy tone, resulting in a
decline of per cent., has been apparent. Sol&

Place in
the University of Edinburgh on Wednesday, The can_
didates were Sir J. M'Neil and Lord J. Russell. The
contest was remarkably keen ; and at the close of the
poll Sir J. M'Neil was elected by a majority. The re-
sult, we believe, was mainly due to the impression that
Lord John, if elected, would not find it convenient to
come to Edinburgh for installation.
The half-yearly dividend upon the York, Newcastle,
and Berwick Railway stock is officially announced at
the rate of 4i per cent. per annum, and that on York
and North Midland stock at the ra'e of 3i per cent, per
