RUSbIAN INFLUENCE IN ITALY•

A letter from St. Petersburg, of Jan. 27, <Oa
The Russian Cabinet is now actively occuPitt
with the question of Naples. We are assured to'o
news has arrived from that country which is by
means favourable. M. de Kakoschine has con
o
quently received orders again to call the attention 1901
the King of Naples to the possible conaequenclir
persisting in the political system which he now Pry
sues, in opposition to üblic opinion, and contrail;
to the formally expressed wishes of the Wellte,r.
Powers. It is well known that Russia exerts a 1
always
Naples
a l
taro amount of influence at Naples, and that she
ewmilPll:3ered it in the cause of order and Pe°"-
Np
It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Government
eL9,
disposed to
time, listenCmmt chrteo herpto o
wi tczullshas reit;
ceived orders to make renewed representati°nB
London, with. respect to the affairs of Naple,_s,o6/0
accordance with the spirit of Prince Gortsch"' tea
cit cular of the 2d of December. It has been staoro
here that England was about to send some mate
vessels into the Bay of Naples, in addition t° ent
frigate which is there at present. Our gover'lr..44t-
could not but regard such a measure, under
ing circums. antes, as a very perilous (Urn onstrat,l_ to
and the object of its intervention in London ,!:_ct.
prevent tha measure from being carried into on
_'.og
We are a.,hured, indeed, that a squadron forw'__ to
part -of the British fleet at Malta, which viwnter.
have proceeded to Naples, has received„o9ll
orders."

MO EY MARKET

♦ND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
without animation, but prices were steady. The
sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,500 of which were
taken for export and speculation. 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 com-
mercial bills bad to be paid off. With regard to
the bullion, movement has been chiefly caused by
the reflux of gole coin from Ireland, as the receipts
of specie have lately bee❑ 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-
count., the market during the last few days hav-
ing been exceedingly tight. This continued incon-
venience creates much anxiety to ascertain what
course will be taken by the Government with re-
gard to the currency. Although Sir G. C. Lewis
last evening- intimated that no alteration is pro-
Posed, the remarks made by those who followed
hun 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 ha., nevertheless, preserved its
characteristic steadiness. A further sum of 20,0001.
was taken away yesterday, making the total for the
Week about 130,0001. s to 140,000/.
The market for Public Securities to-day has been
extremely dull, and a heavy tone, resulting in a
decline of per cent., has been apparent. Some
sales have been effected, but the operations have
not been of importance. Consols for money after
being 921 to 93, officially closed at 92/ ; while for
account they were 931 f, and 931 I. The New 3
per Cents, were 931 the Reduced 931 /and Ex-
chequer Bills par to 3s. premium. Bank Stock 216

Only about half a dozen bargains were recorded
in the Foreign Market. Turkish 0 per Cents. re-
alised 93i, and the 4 per Cents. 100 g. Russian
small Bonds were 97. Spanish Deferred 23j, and
Brazilian New 44 per Cents. 971.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign

Spanish 3 per Cents., 391404 ; ditto New Deferred,

646.

There is very little change to report in the Rail-
way Share Market, an exceedingly limited business
has been transacted. Great Western and North-
Eastern Berwick declined 55., and North-Western,
7s. 6d. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, Brighton and South-Western
were about ss. higher. The East Indian have *-
proved about 108. Grand Trunk of Canada, Dutch,
Rhenish and Paris, and Lyons were a shade lower.
British and Foreign Mining Shares have been
quite neglected, and prices are unaltered.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
been moderately active, and prices have ruled steady.
Union of London improved ss. National Discount
Company. Crystal Palace, and Canada Government
6 per Cents. realised former values.

ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES, EDINBUItOII.-- The electin of an honorary President of these societies
took place in
the University of Edinburgh on Wednesday. The can-
didates were Sir J. MVeil and Lord J. Russell. The
contest was remarkably keen ; and at the close of the
poll Sir J. M'Neil was eleoted 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 44 per cent. per annum, and that on York
IWO North Midland stock at the rate of 3i per cent. per
441:11203.
