Accounts have been received from Rome to the
Bth instant.
Romagna continued to be infested by armed bands.
One of them, consisting of about 150 men, lately
entered the district of Brissighella, the population of
which amounts to 3,000 souls, and where posts of
carbiniers and revenue officers are stationed. The
latter were disarmed, and their muskets thrown into
wells. The houses of the richest inhabitants were
plundered ; and the banditti having entered a ball-
room in the town, forced a priest and a canon to join
in a country dance.
The. Courrier Francais says—
" We learn by letters from Ancona, that grave agita-
tion has taken place among the population, and that
the Consul of France is obliged to take most energetic
measures to protect his countrymen."
The Giornale di Roma publishes a new list of
books prohibited by the Congregation of the Index.
Among them are the letters addressed by INIAMIANI
to the POPE /11:d to the electors of the Roman States.
Cardinal Duron arrived at Naples on the Gth,

and immediately proceeded to Portici to pay his
respects to the POPE.
A letter from Naples of the 9th gives an account
of an eruption of Mount Vesuvius which has just
occurred. According to this account it was one of
the most magnificent ever seen.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th instant pub-
liahes the text of the treaty of peace concluded be-
tween Austria and Sardinia on the 6th August,
1849, together with the decree of the Sardinian Par-
liament, authorising the Government to carry it into
effect.
The Genoa Gazette of the 13th, states that the
Turkish Government has acknowledged and guaran•
teed the Constitution of the small Republic of Zagori,
in Albania, near Janinina, and consisting of 44 vil-
lages and 25,000 inhabitants.
The Tuscan illoniteur of the 11th instant announces
that on that day the Marquis ANTONIO RIARIO
SFORZA, Minister Plenipotentiary of Naples, presented
to the GRAND DUKE, in presence of the GRAND
DUCHESS and the Archduchess MARIA ISABELLA,
daughter of the GRAND DUKE, a letter from his
SOVEREIGN, demanding the hand of the young
ARCHDUCHESS for Count TRAPANI, brother of the
KING. The Statuto states that the appointment of
Count DE STROGONOPF, a friend of the BONAPARTE
family, to the Parisian Embassy, was not the only
change likely to take place in Russian diplomacy, and
adds that Count DE MEDEM is to be removed from
Vienna, and Count DE BOUTENIEFF from Rome.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet
but steady; the sales were estimated at 3,000 bales, t f
which 500 wore taken on speculation. The sales com-
prised 2,500 American at 6d. to Bd., 200 Pernam and
Maranham at 6id. to 7d., 100 Egyptian at 7id. to Bd.,
and 200 Surat at 4 1. to 50. per lb.--Railway Shares
were dull, without any material alteration in prices.
The public sales of Colonial Produce declared for the
present week are moderate in extent. Wool and
Indigo have a fair sale.
The Frankfort accounts of the 16th inst. quote Aus-
trian Bonds at 84k, and Spanish Three per Cents. st 29k.
At Amsterdam, on the 17th, Mexican Bonds were 29,
and Peruvian Deferred 36i to 371.
In the Canadian advices received yesterday it is stated
that a mercantile house of New York was calling atten-
tion to the question of fully reciprocating the privilege
granted by the new Navigation Act, and
it is remarked that should the United States
laws be so amended as to authorise it,
vessels might be advantageously, and more cheaply,
built on American account in the British provinces than
in their own ports. Messrs. Roberts, Brothers, the mer-
cantile house above alluded to, after quoting in their
letter to Sir H. Bulwer the law on this point, call his
attention to the fact, that British North American built
ships might, at the present time, be advantageously sold
in New York, provided they could legally be transferred
to citiz ,ns of the United States, and suggest how desir-
able it is to urge the Government at Washington to re-
ciprocato towards British shipping the advantages which
Great Britain has already extendel to theirs.
We have 11(ard so much about decay and ruin in
Canada, that the following particulars may perhaps ex-
cite surprise, and should certainly afford satisfaction.
By the annual returns made up by W. Hall, Esq., Col-
lector of Customs at Montreal, it appears that the value
of goods entered at that port during the past year
exceeds that of the previous year, by 138,0581. Bs. Bd.
In exports the increa_e in value of 1849 over 1848 is
80,6741. 17s. 4d. In the same way the increase in duties
is 42,0001.
The meeting of Mexican Bondholders, held yesterday,
was most numerously and respectably attended, most ( f
the large holders being present. The Committee of
Spanish American Bondholders hal called the meeting
fur the purpose of annulling the appointment of the
new and special committee, which is to watch exclu-
sively over the Mexican debt, but, upon the motion of
Baron Guldsmid, it was proposed that the new commit-
tea should be added to the old one. This, after consider-
able discussion. was negatived by a largo majority, and
thus matters remain as settled on the 23d a January
last. It was intimated that Mr. W. P. Robertson, feel-
ing his position to be somewhat difficult until his fair
claim for services rendertd as the late Commissioner in
Mexico is adjusted, and which of course it will not be
fully until it is ascertained what success ensues, will be
perfectly willing to remain quiescent, and not act upon
any committee. Now, with respect to the observations
which from time to time we have felt it to be our
duty to make upon this subject, we may
state that the right of the bondholders to have
a separate committee is so undoubted, that we really are
surprised at the attempt to defeat if. Possibly, excep-
tion may be taken to the way in which the change was
brought about, but every practical man knows the diffi-
culty of getting corporate or directorate bodies to reform
themselves. The election of members of a board by
those who are already members, is not a popular or even
a proper course in these days, and as certain members
of the old committee had the offer of joining the new,
but declined because they deemed it easy to dissolve the
latter, or by adding it to the existing body to reduce it
to a nonentity, we heartily congratulate the bondholders
upon the firmness and consistency which they yesterday
exhibited. Nothing more damages a cause than vacil-
lation and want of self-reliance, and once let it appear
that the new committee is confirmed, and men of influ-
ence will not be slow to join it, if required. We attach,
however, no importance to great names, for we have
seen enough of the indisposition to activity in such cases
not to know that working men aro more useful.
The Funds have been decidedly improving. Consols
have rallied to 95i 1 for Transfer, and to 951 for Time.
The more tranquil character of the news from abroad,
and the statement of Lord Palmerston last night, as to
the renewal of the armistice, have given confidence.
Exchequer-bills have been 545. to 575. premium. Bank
Stock has been 206 to 2061, and India Stock 265. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
97.1- to 981.
In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Four per Cents.
are dull at 34, Peruvian have declined from 79i to 80i,
and Mexican have been done at 29i There is much
leas speculation in Spanish American Stocks. Dutch
Four per Cents. have been 554, Russian Scrip is 21 to f
premium. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 18.
Railway Shares are very dull, and rather lower again.
