ITALY.

Notwithstanding the announcement that Gari-
baldi has refused the offer of a military command
in the service of the Federal States of America, the
latest Italian journals express considerable uncer-
tainty as to his decision. A letter in the Opinione
Nationale hints that the General has accepted the
offer, or has reserved his acceptance. The Opinione
is unwilling to believe the rumour, asserting that
the Liberator of the Two Sicilies owes his services,
before all, to his country. The Armonitz of Turin
states that Garibaldi and several of his old com-
panions in arms will actually proceed to America;
and, in that case, asks, " What is to become of
Italy ?"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the ex-King
of Naples has replied to Baron Ricasoli's circular
relative to the insurrectionary bands in the Neapo-
litan provinces, by a memorandum, in whic the
Baron's statements are declared to be a tissue of
untruths. The document terminates in these
words :

" Has such an epoch of destruction, ruin, and
murder ever existed under the Government of the
Bourbons ? Does the last half century show a
number of capital executions approaching that of
the persons shot in a single day by the Piedmon-
tese ? The times of Atilla are thrown into the
shade by those of Piedmont. The brutal force
of the most monstrous conquest aims at sub-
jecting the intelligence of a nation which upholds
its dignity, which struggles to shake off the yoke
of a tyranny introduced under the mask of liberty,
and afterwards developed with the ferocity of the
assassin. The people of the Two Sicilies, rich in
all social resources, proud of those geniuses who
were the glory of Italy, a people numbering about
ten millions of souls, possessing great and powerful
cities, could not, cannot, and never will become a
province of Piedmont, deprived of everything which
constitutes the grandeur of nations. The people of
the Two Sicilies, therefore, combat spontaneously,
and hitherto without any impulse from without, in
order to recover their former greatness ; they claim
the return of that splendour imparted to their coun-
try by the immortal Charles 111, who raised it from
the state of a province to a kingdom; they demand
the preservation of the religion of their fathers in
all its purity, of which intrigues, cowardice, and
treason have sought to deprive them."

THIS DAYS HARE_ETS,

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English grain fresh up to this morning's
market woe small, and the demand for both red and white
qualities ruled steady at quite Monday's advance in the
quotations of is per qr.
The imports of foreign wheat are confined to 8,330 qrs.,
and the show of samples was very moderate. For most
descriptions there was a steady inquiry at full currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain sold readily, and the quotations
were well maintained.

Barley was very firm, and prices had an upward ten
dency.

We have to report a limited sale of malt at previous rates.
Oats—the supply of which was small—moved off steadily
at full quotations.
Holders of both beans and peas were very firm, and in
some instances rather higher prices were realised.
Flour was in good demand at fully previous rates.
