times changed his fall was regarded as a triumph for the Liberals. Signor Bologna filled no politi-
ca Mace from the revolution of 1848 until the
restoration took place, and foreign troops oc-
cupied the Tuscan territory. Signor Bologna
was then summoned by the Duke to form part
of his Cabinet as Minister for
Ecclesiastical
Affairs. It was expected to find in him a fiery
Reactionist. He was no such thing. He certinly
did not renounce his old reactionist pr
inciplesa but
he left to others who before and after 18482 had
figured in the ranks of the most furious Radicals
the uneeviable privilege of rushing into the extreme
ranks of the Reactionists. In 1851 an arrangement,
somewhat like a concordat, was concluded between
the Tuscan Government and the Pope, but Signor
Bologna attenuated and nearly destroyed the effect
of the arrangement. During the winter of 1854
much conversation took place among a certain co-
terie at Florence relative to the war in the Crimea,
and it was boldly asserted that the allies would
be cast into the sea by the Russians, and
g an

became proverbial. One day in the year 1 this phBss a,
law on the press was being discussed in
of State for the purpose of establishing a preven-
tive censure. Each member who
ha d spoken ex-
pressed an opinion favourable to the law. When
Signor Bologna's turn came, to the astonishment of
all the Councillors, ho said, " The law good, but it is better not to
p gat© it at pro-
cause," may be
sent." " Why so ?" cried the Councillor& " Be-
cause," replied be, smiline. "it is beer to wait
until this bath (pet certo 6eagno) shall tthave been
taken."

letter from Kalisch, that the troops of the last
Polish levy but one have received orders to leave
immediately for the Caucasus. It is believed they
are to reinforce the army of observation of 40,000
men, which it is asserted is assembled on the ex-
treme frontier of Persia. "It appears," adds the
Patric, " that serious operations are expected in.

The following changes have lately taken place at
St. Peterßburg. In consequence of the illness of
the Minister of War, the chief of the staff, General.
Kotzebue, at Warsaw, has been appointed to assist
the Minister. Baron de Meyenderff has been
named head of the Imperial Chamber. The De-
partment of Curnmerce and Manufactories is about
De-
to be separated from the Ministry of Finance, and
will constitute a new Ministerial department.

The amounts which are to be paid by the various
maritime powers to Denmark in compensation for
the removal of the Sound dues are stated in a
Copenhagen letter to be as follow :—England and
Russia, 34 million francs each ; Prussia, 12 mil-

A subscription, headed by Messrs. Rothschild, Baring,
and Gurney, was opened yesterday for the family of Mr.
Mortleman, who perished in thu mail steamship Violet,
and who is ascertained in the midst of his danger to
have floated the mail bags, so that even after the loss of
the vessel and all on board there might be a prospect of
their recovery. They were picked up on the following
morning, and much inconvenience to the commercia
community was thus prevented.
MOHAMMEDANS IN PARIS.--.A. speCial enclosure for
the burial of persons of the Mussulnaan religion has just
been formed in one part of the cemetery of Pere-
Lachaise, having been found necessary, in consequence
of the number of persons, and especially
reigion, who die in Paris. The enclosure contains a
building for purification and for other ceremonies pre*
scribed by the Mussulinan relioion. It has been built on

CENTRAL CATTLE:MARKET AT SIVINDON.—It is pro.
posed by the Great Western Railway Company to es.ab.
lish a fortnightly market for the sale of cattle at Swin-
don, their object being to make a grand central market
for the sale of all the cattle coming up from South Wales
ford Ire and by the South Wales line and the Irish boats.
The increase of this traffic has of late been very great,
and, joined to the enlarged supply brought by the
various new lines which have been opened, has led to
the conclusion that a market at Swindon would be well
supported;

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the cotton
:market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of
Americans were at a decline of por lb. Other
.kinds were less affected. The sales were estimated
at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market manifested a steady appearance, at an
Advance of to per cent. on Tuesday's quota-
tions.

According to a statement prepared by Messrs.
Iloggard and Pixley, the exports of gold and silver
.last year were 17,806,940/. against 14,224,6101. in
1855. These were merely the shipments direct
from London. The remittances to France, by
,way of Folkestone and Dover, were 13,589,5001.
Against 15,366,050 in the previous year.
In consequence of the increased demand for
/honey which has recently prevailed, and the late
advance in the terms for loans on stock, a good deal
of anxiety was felt regarding the result of the
Bank " parlour" meeting to-day, for although no
chanrge in the minimum was really apprehended, the
uncertain state of financial affairs created general
suspicion. The Directors, however, have decided
mot to reiznpo,se the restrictions which they re-
-moved of few weeks ago, and the feeling in the
:Money Market is, consequently, rather more fa-
vourable. No diminution in the demand has taken
and the commercial public are still obliged
to 'submit to onerous terms for accommodation.
Increased firmness has been apparent in the
English Stock Market to-day, with a small advance
in the quotations. The Greeks and other opera-
tors have continued their purchases, which have
strengthened the market. Consols have been
.93i for money, and 94 to 94i for the account.
The New 3 per Cents. have been 94 to 94i, the
deduced 93i to 941, and the 30 Years' Annuities
38 1-16th, all being firmer. Exchequer Bills are
still depressed, being 2s. discount to 2s. premium.
Bilnk Stock is quiet at 2171, and East India Stock
:at 220 to 221.
I ri the Foreign Market there has been no general
fea' cure of importance. The prices keep firm and
3inrss is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been
if and they are now called 95i to 95t, Vene-
zr dela remain at 36. The Commissioners complain
t the conduct of the committee in the
late negotiations for a settlement of the arrears of
Inteycest. They intend publishing a statement to
exonerate themselves from the charge of having
e'Pa, led the terms which they assented to after the
Mef Iting in December. Sardinian Bonds are 89,
