According to a statement conveyed to us, through
the Austrian Lloyd's, it seems that a society of English
capitalists has offered to the Ottoman Government to
establish railways from Constantinople to the sea and
to Salonica.

ITALY.
INSURRECTION AT PALERMO.
The Costituzionule of Florence quotes a letter
from Palermo, May 20, giving an account of a new
attempt at insurrection in the vicinity of that
city. It states that on the evening of the 18th
some soldiers from the country stations arrived
at Palermo, bringing the information that armed
men were assembling in the neighbourhood and
approaching the city. The ggnerale was immedi-
ately beaten ; the troops, including the cavalry
and artillery of the garrison, marched out to
meet the insurgents, and as serious conflict, which
lasted several hours, took place on the
plains of St. Paolo. Overcome by numbers, the
insurgents retired and dispersed. Not one of
them was arrested. Five persons of the neigh-
bourhood were taken up and afterwards released,
their innocence being evident. Many arrests had
been made in town before the occurrence, but few
after. A rumour was current that a movement was
to have taken place at daybreak on the 19th in
Palermo itself.

The French soldiers at Rome are beginning to
grumble at the number of parades they are obliged
to attend in all weathers, in soaking rain as well as in
broiling sunshine, while the ecclesiastical ceremonies
and pontifical processions are proceeding.
An Englishman, writing from the Eternal City,
pays the following earnest and deserved tribute to the
late gifted sculptor, Ricamtp WYATT, a man of great
genius and ability, who recently died tbere pre-
maturely :

"I have to-day the painful duty of recording the
death of Mr. Richard Wyatt, the eminent British
sculptor, whose works are so well known at home,
and whose fame is spread in every part of the world
where the fine arts are valued. It was only a few
days since I visited his studio, and admired the last
touches which his graceful chisel had given to the
finished statue of Flora, on which he had been for
some time engaged. Judging from the health he then
enjoyed, and the elasticity of his mind, I could not
anticipate that ere the week was out I should have
to attend his funeral ; but he was taken off after a
brief interval, and he lives now only in his works and
in a fame that will, no doubt, be everlasting. lam
more than partial to his style, as, in my opinion, he
surpassed all living artists in representing the pure and
delicata beauty of the female form. Nymphs'
are the perfection cf ideal and physical grace, and I be-
lieve in that department of sculpture he was unrivalled.
I understand that • the Penelope' in possession of her
l'ilajesty, which I have not seen, is a work of higher
merit, but I only know him from those statues now in
his studio—' A Nymph coming out of the Bath,' A
Shepherd-boy protecting his Sister in a Storm,' and,
above all, from the Flora,' on the perfection of
which his whole mind was engaged. As Mr. Wyatt
was as much respected in private as he was eminent in
public life, his funeral was attended, not only by artists
of all countries, but by every English gentleman now in
Rome. His value as a friend will be long remembered
by those to whom he was attached, and his fame as a
sculptor will outlive this age."
The only reply likely to be conceded to the re-
monstrances addressed to the Pro-Secretary of State
by Mr. FREEBORN, in reference to the examination
of the house of M. ERCOLE, seems to be that of the
old adage—" Do at Rome as the Romans do F'

NEW MAP OF CUBA.—With that surprising ra-
pidity for which Mr. Wyld has long been remark-
able, he has just issued from his establishment a
brilliant and complete map not only of that splendid
island of Cuba, which has recently been the scene of a
disgraceful movement, but of the whole of the neigh-
bouring possessions of Greit Britain and the United
States. The map consequently includes the Ba-
hamas, St. Domingo, and Jamaica, besides a glimpse
of Florida and Yucatan—while a smaller map in the
north-east corner gives a comprehensive sketch of
the relative position of the whole in regard to the
Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent margin of the two
continents. The entire production is as singular for
its clearness as for its elaboration.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. - The
anaual examination of the girls' school took place yesterday,
the 12th, at the central school, Borough-road, when the
Right lion. Fox Maule, M.P., presided. The largo room
was crowded to excess, hundreds going away unable to ob-
tain admittance. The attainments of the children appeared
to afford the highest gratification to the assembled company.
At the close Mr. Fox Manic addressed the meeting at some
length, in a very effective speech, enforcing the value of
education, expressing the high sense he entertained of the
labours and efficiency of the society, and impressing many
excellent counsels on the minds of the children and their
parents.

LIVERPOOL CORPORATE BATHS.-NO measure
carried into effect by the town council has, perhaps, been of
such extensive advantage to the community generally as the
establishment of cheap baths; and that they are highly ap-
preciated is evident from the increasing patronage they re-
ceive, especially from the working classes of our popu-
lation, for whom they were more particularly intended. In
the Paul-street baths the increased demand for bathing has
been particularly remarkable during the past year. It ap-
pears that, for the quarter ending the 24th of May, 1849, the
number of bathers was 11,000 ; receipts, 2001. ; while for the
same quarter in the present year the return was--bathers,
13,951; receipts, 2301. For the week ending the sth inst.,
the number of baths used was 2,677 ; receipts, 361. 13s. 9d. ;
and for the corresponding week in 1849, 1,634, showing a dif-
ference of 1,043. The result is such as fully to justify the
efforts now being made by the council to extend the advan-
tages of these baths to other districts of the town.—Liverpool
Mercury.

IMPORTATION OF TALLOW.--A vesbei has arrived
at one of the wharfs on the river side, with 86 casks, and a
quantity of tallow, from Yarmouth, salved from the ship
Samuel, wrecked on her voyage from Cronstadt ; and ano-
ther vessel, arrived in the river, has brought 85 casks of
tallow from Yarmouth, being a further portion of the same
cargo.

'Twelve hundred lizards have been imported into
Plymouth from Jersey, and are intended for exhibition in
that town. They are valued atjtearly 3001.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The saies s,s Cot7an at Liverpool yesterd .y were esti-
mated at about 4,000 bales, of which 500 Amer cans and
500 Pernam and Maranh. m were taken for export, com-
prising 2 000 American, 600 Pernam and Maranhao], at
7-0. to 7d.; 600 Bahia, at 7id.; 300 Egyptian, chiefly
at 9d.; 250 Surat, at 40. to 5/ci.; and 50 Sea islands,
at ls. 4d. to Is. sd. per lb. With the exception of a
slight further decline in American under 74d. per lb.,
there is to change in the market.—Railway Shares were
firm at higher quotations.
The sales of Wheat in the markets which govern the
duties continue moderate. The six weeks' average price
is 395. 2d. per quarter.
A great deal of attention has been excited in the
City by the allegation that the Customs' au-
thorities have made further discoveries of frauds
upon the revenue, and for connivance in
which certain parties are stated to have been
held to heavy bail. The greatest secrecy has been
observed in the matter, but rumour asserts that coffee
is one article on which duty has been evaded. The
idea is that the penalties claimed may be paid, and
further investigation thus obviated ; but the Customs'
authorities are exercising great vigilance, and may pro-
bably trace out other evasions.
Accounts from Copenhagen still allege that the
Schleswig-Holstein affair is not settled, and does not
look altogether promising.
At Amsterdam, on the 11th inst., very little was
doing in Public Securities. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. were 56 ; Peruvian and Grenada Bonds were
higher.
The English Funds are very quiet, but exceedingly
' firm. The payment of differences on the account is
being effected to-day, and appears to occasion no diffi-
culty, although the recent fluctuation has been so heavy.
Consols have been 97 to if for Transfer, and 974 for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills are 68s. to 715., and India
Bonds 88s. premium. Bank Stock has been done as high
as 208 and 209. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 98 to 4.
Upon the subject of the New Grenada Debt, Messrs.
Baring Brothers have addressed a communication to the
committee of Spanish American Bondholders to the
effect that they have not received the remittance of
17,725 dollars, as advised to Messrs. Powles, Wilson,
and Co., towards the payment of the dividends of Dec.,
1848, whereas Messrs. Baring assert that they have
but 1401. in hand. It appears, however, that
since April, 1849, and to the 19th February last, there
have been remitted 135,986 reals to the firm of Montoya,
Saenz, and Co., as the proceeds of the custom-houses of
Santa Martha, and that when instructions are received,
the sum will be handed over to Messrs. Baring.
The New Grenada Assembly has authorised the
emission of 2,889,260 rs. in Treasury-bills, bearing 6
per cent., to be offered in satisfaction of the over-due
dividends on the foreign Active Debt, and to be received
in part payment of import duties.
The Foreign Securities are very quiet still. To-
morrow will be settling day. Mexican Bonds have
realised 310,. Grenada 18, and Brazilian small 88.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 346 and
Spanis Three per Cents. have touched 384. Russian
Stock is firm at 109. Dutch Four per Cents. are
57* to f.
The Railway Share Market looks exceedingly good
again, and some of the old and favourite lines
are rather higher. The traffic of the Aberdeen
line is improving very steadily, the increase within the
last three weeks being from 1,108/. to 1,470/., exclusive
of the allowance tor the mails, which is estimated at
150/. per week, making 1,6204 for the week to the Ist
instant.
It is stated that a company has commenced
working the copper lodes ,on the property of the
Duke of Bedford, near Tavistock, known as Wheal
Crebor. About thirty years ago the main lode pro-
duced, as far as worked, 27,490 tons of copper ors,
realising 167,102/., end a profit of 35,000/. It
is said that the deposits of ore found
in Crebor Mine have been caused "by the
happy combination at the same points of a lode, or
cross course, or other intersection, and a stratum of
killas favcurable to the deposit of copper-ore in the
lode traverse the same favourable stratum of killas, and
are intersected by the same cross-courses as the main
lode." It is to these parallel lodes that the attention of
the present company is to be chiefly directed.
