THE PRINCIPALITIES.

.. The Condit/did/me/ has the following highiy-
coloured account of the state of the Danubian
Principalities :

"Our letters from Jassy of the 30th ult. state
that the situation of things in Moldavia has become
More serious than ever. They announce, in fact
that a complete disorganisation of all the adminis-
tration is probable. Discontent is general ; pro-
tests against the electoral lists circulate in all dis-
tricts, and to them are added complaints from the
municipal authorities. The unpopularity of Prince
Vogorides has extended to tt-e higher classes, and
the Government encounters a strong opposition
even amongst its own functionaries. We are
told that in sevoral districts, and especially at
Cacau, Teccoutche, and Dorohoio, the commissions
charged to revise the lists have refused to associate
themselves any longer with the arbitrary policy of
the esio,acan. At Bacau, all the members of the
Municipality protested against the conduct of the
prefect and against the ministerial circulars ; and
as they have been suspended for this, they have
complained to the European commission. Some
of the deputy judges of the tribunal were charged
to replace them, bnt they have refused, and the
citizens generally approve of the refusal. At pre-
fent Becau is under the sole authority of the prefect,
and the Government has sent a detachment of
lancers to the place. A conflict between the sol-
diers and the people is apprehended. At Te -
coutebe, the commission has been suspended, for
having admitted complaints of electors struck out
of the lists ; and at Dorohoio, the Government, not
being able to count on the municipality or the
judges, has replaced them by men of bad character.
A protest has been signed at Jassy by 500 persons,
among whom are the principal clergy and boyards,
and it has been sent to Bucharest. Each district
also proposes to Benda representative to Bucharest,
protest, eo that the European commission will
receive protests from the most honourable men in
the
country. Our letters from Bucharest state that
c of
the publication of the instructions relative to the
a vocation
the Divan bad taken place, and as
Weeks are a'lowed to the electors to present
.their observations, the opening of the Diet will pro-
°ably take place towards the end of August.

SPAIN.
MADRID, July 12. On the 4th inst. the bind of
insurgents in the province of Seville was attack. d
by the troops•who had been despatched in pursuit
of it. A very sharp action took pia.!e, and the loss
w
aa considerable on both sides ; but the insurgents
Were nevertheless completely routed. According
o
/11,e statement of the Civil Governor of Cadiz,
the insurgents met with no sympathy from. the
Population, and were only able to penetrate into
Onl® thinly inhabited villages.
The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived.
They Publish long details about the insurgents
of Utrera, but they contain nothing that is not
known already, except that the Qat ea's troops,
_though hotly pursuing the fugitives, who it is
known have gone in the direction of Gibraltar,
bad not overtaken them. The dismissed Cap-
tain-General of Andalusia, General Aleson, had
Published a proclamation announcing the de-
feat of the band at Benajon ; it calls them " a
horde of bandits," and says that they are " a
scandal to society and to the Castilian name."
At Malaga, a number of persons of advanced
opinions in p litics had been arrested, and
"some turbulent men" are stated to have left the
Place ; it is added thit the authorities had sent in
Pursuit of them. At Seville some democrats had
bcert arrested, and a number of young men wht
bad joined the insurgents of Utrera had been sen-
tenced by court-martial to hard labour if under 16
Years old, and to be shot if above that age. . At
Cadiz a noted democrat had been arrested, and
importaLt papers were found on him. At Logr ono
on the 28th ult. some Carlist cries had been raised,
but order had been re'tored. In the capital, the
rumours of disturbances had ceased.

THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN
GENOA.

TURIN JLY .
The Senate met to-day to discus ,s
sev U
erallo bills
lett up by the Lower House ; but before proceed-
ing to that consideration Marquis Pallavicini-
Mossi asked and obtained the 13ermission to put
some questions to the Cabinet about the late occur-
rences at Genoa. Marquis Pallavicini declared that
he placed the greatest confidence in his Majesty's
Ministers ; he deeply lamented the events which
had lately taken place at Genoa, and he asked
whether it would not be convenient to separate
the administration of the police from that of the
general affairs of the home department.
Signor Ratazzi, the Minister of the Interior, rose
and said :

"I thank the honotrable senator for having afforded
me the opportunity of giving some explanations to the
house and to the country about the late deplorable events
which have taken place at Genoa. I declare that on
the 18th of May lest I warned the Intendente of Genoa
to be upon his guard, because tbe incorrigible Mazzinian
meet were contemplating some fresh attacks on the
Public pewee. Iu the first days of June last I got
from the French police the advice that on the 9th of
that month a revolution wonli break out at Genoa, and
in Consequence of that advice I repeated my warning to
the Intendente of Genoa. My honourable colleague the
Minister of War did the same towards the general
commander of the military division of Genoa.
These warnings were again repeated on the 27th
of the same month, and I have before me the answer
of the Intendente, of the date of June 28, in which be
assured me that the authorities were on their guard, and
that measures of precaution had been taken in order to
prevent any disturbance ; and so it happened, because it
cannot be said that an insurrectionary movemeat took
Place at Genoa. On the eight of 29th of June the troops,
Under the direction of the civil authorities, effected anum
t." of arrests, and seized a quantity of arms and ammuni-
ilon ; but no outbreak actuary took place ; that is to say,
the authorities succeeded in preventing the intended
?neurrection. The only positively seditious act perpe-
trated was the attack ou the fort of Leamante, which in
;e,,4lity was an oc ourence of little importance. I must
that fear as urinal has greatly exa,lgerated the
I.al state of the case. For instance, it has been said
badehe whole of the town of Genoa was undermined,
Vt the fact is that there were preparations for
only, and the powder at hand for the purpose.
has also been stated that the number of muskets
:''zed amounted to several thousands, whil-t the fact is
that their total number does not exceed 500. I have
untying more to add, but to assure the S,nate that the
Judicial inqury is actively progressing, and that the
authors ot. this foolish and criminal attempt will he pro-
"elated with all the severity of the law. The Govern-
ment of the Ring, feeling confidence in the power of the
law, and assured of the support of the Parliament and
tb.a Mary, is convinced that it Possesses such a

strength as will suffice to defy all his enemies without
having recourse to extraordinary power,."_

- .1 •
General La Marmora, Minister of War, rose and

said :

" I have a few moments ago returned from Spezia,
where I have been to meet the gallant Admiral
Lyons, and on my way I stopped at Genoa. lam
g'ad to declare that the alarm caused by the late
events has completely subsided, and that the inha-
bitants of that illustrious city have no feelings
but of diAgust towards the authors of the late insane
attempt, which I don't know whether to call stupid or
infamous. I have only a few words to add to what bas
been said by my colleague M. Ilatazzi: The ex;:-.reslinn,
Fort of Diatomite,' is not correct. The Diatnante'
is by no means a fort, it is only an advanced
post (corpo di guardia), which is guarded by a de-
tachment of a dozen soldiers, commanded by a
sPrg,eat. The guardarme (bat is to say the man
who lives there in charge of the building) is now
under trial, because it has become known that in the
course of th- 29th June he introduced some civilians
into the post, and drank wine with them, so that the
conspirators, taking advantage of this circumstauce, were
a' le to get into the post at night to the number of
.40_
or 50."

After these declarations the subject dropped;
and tte Senate resumed the order of the day.

MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL TNTELLIGMTC2,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a very animated ap-
pearanc?, and •at extreme prices for all descrip-
tions. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 1,000
of which were taken by the speculators. The
Railway Share Market manifested a very flat ap-
pearance, and prices were at a slight decline.

The advicea from Paris state that the satisfactory
weather and the encouraging harvest prospects are
producing a gradual decline in the prices of grain.
A sack of flour which at the end of June was worth
74f. to 75f. per hectolitre declined on Wednesday
to 66f. 50c., and was offered on Saturday last at
64f. At the same time wheat has receded 2 to 3
francs per hectolitre in all the' departments, and it
is rather surprising that this movement has not
exercised any beneficial influnce on the Funds,
which continue flat.

At the annual meeting of the Peel River Land
and Mineral Company held this day a dividend
of is. per share was recommended out of the es-
timated profits on the year's transactions. The
amount of profit was 8,9841. Th) progress of the
company was more satisfactory, but there was a

falling off in the gold licences. The report was
being discussed at the time of our dispatch being
sent off.

The half-yearly meeting of the St. Katherine's
Dock Company has also been held to-day, at which
a report was presented showing the net profits in
the company's business for the half-year to be
47,8751. A dividend of 2} per cent. for the half-
year was declared. The report was adopted.
The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New
South Wales was held at Sydney on the 22d April
last. The report of the directors was of the usual
favourable character. The nett profits for the half-
year amountPd to 62,8131. 6s. 10d., which, with
the amount left over from the profits of the pre-
vious half-year, made the sum for distribution
64,4761. 10s. 9d. Of this sum 50,0001. was applied
as dividend (at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum),
13,0531. 4s. Bd. to increase reserve fund, and
1,4231. 6s. ld. carried over to next account. The
reserve fund had, by the addition named, and

1,9461. 15s. 4d. recovered from bad debts pre-
viously written off, reached the sum of 140,0001.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the
power of opening fresh branches where deemed ex-
pedient was left in the hands of the directors.
The Indian news reports an advance in the ex-
change at Calcutta and Bombay. This is likely to
lead to large remittances of silver from tit:B side.
In China, however, the rates have declined, so that
the total shipments will probably be smaller than
of late.

The dollir3 brought by the lag, West India
steamer have been sold at sq.

The Money Market is comparatively easy, and

the demand is still very quiet. An opinion ap-
pears to prevail that the rates will further de-
cline, and hence, those engaged in hu9iness
merely supply themselves with the means they
immediately require. The payment of the
dividends has afforded much relief, and the
continued influx of gold promotes confidence.
It is ,prEsumed that the Bank rate will soon be
lowered to a more reasonable point than 6 per
cent., as the lowest charge out of doors is now 5&
per cent., with a declining tendency. On the
Stock Exchange money is offered at 5 to 5,11 percent.,
and the terms charged for " carrying over" in the
Share Market are ci nsidered moderate.

The Funds continuo languid, and the transactions
are exceedingly limited. Since the violent move-
ment in prices on Saturday the variation has not
been important, but on the whole the tendency has
not been unfivourable. The particulars of the
Indian r.:-volt published this morning are not consi-
dered assuring, and the explanations in Parliament
are scarcely deemed so satisfactory as anticipated.
The English St •ck market is therefor© flat. Con-
sols for transfer have been 917 T to 92, for the
account 92A I. T: e New Three per Cents. are

Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 A ; ditto Deferred, 231
ditto Certificates, 5i 6 ; ditto Pas'ive, 52 6.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been of a very limited character, but prices, with
one or two exceptions, have been steady. Great
Western, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, North
Eastern, York, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton were about ss. lower, and South Eastern,
and Great Northern about 10s. Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln, advanced 10s. In Foreign and
ColoniAl lines there is little variation to report.
The French and Canadian lines were not dealt
in. East Indian, however, were flat, and declined
10s. to 155., and Great Indian Peninsula declined
about ss.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have
been almost neglected. Great Wheal Alfred have
advanced to 7/. London and Westminster Bank
improved to 49± 1. Ottoman Bank to 15, and
London General Omnibus Company to 32 k.
