ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette of the 221 inst. quotes- a letter
from Mime of the 17th, stating that the Austrian Mi-
nister had strenuously exerted himself, at the last
Consistory, to prevail, on the Papal Government to
adopt a policy in harmony with the spirit of the motu
proprio of the 12 b September. Ile contended that
if tne inhabitants of the Sabina, "Umbria, and •Cam-
pana Maritima were not • yet ripe for a constitution,
the Romans were far more advanced, and insisted on
semi-liberal concessions being made to the latter.
The two cardinals, Tcsti and Macchi, supported the
proposition of the Austrian Envoy, but wi'hout
success. The five organic laws, of which Austria
demanded the promulgation, referred 1. To the
Financial Consults. 2. The State Consults. 3.
The Orgarization of the Sitinicipalities. 4. The
Council of Ministers. s.,)The Council of State.
"We had hoped," says 014 correspondent cf the
Genoa Gazette, " that they' would be promulgated
on the day'of the Assumption, but, if we consider
the severity displayed by the Holy Father at the
last Consistory, it will be seen that little is to be
4,
expected.

resumption .of business shortly. The throw-
ing mills continue fully employed, although in
thrown silk not much business is doing—the high
rates now asked precluding operations to a consider-
able extent. Still great confidence is expressed as to
the coming demand. In the raw silk market we have
Simply to note that prices remain extremely firm at
the latest 'biting rates, and the deliveries for consum,
tion are considered good for the season.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--There has scarcely
been so much doing in our market to-day as was last
week, owing to the unfavourableness of the weather.
Plaids have the best demand, and are eagerly sought
up. The wool market is very flat, cl.?alers having
great stocks on hand, and it being the London sales
at present.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--In our piece-hall to-day
the chief inquiry was for lastings of low quality, the
demand for which seems to increase in proportion to
the difficulty of procuring them. There was, also; a
good demand for some sorts of fancy goods. The
spinners are fully employed, and the quotations for
yarns are firmly maintained. The, wool market is
steady, though not brisk, and prices are without
alteration.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The markets both on Saturday
and to-day have been very good, and all cloths suit-
able for the winter trade have met with a ready sale.
Stocks in the cloth halls continue much below the
average, and prices are very firm. Tnere is a good
amount doing in the warehouses, both by drapers and
wholesale buyers; and the shipping houses continue
brink.
