ITALY,

Cardinal FERRETTI, the brother of the POPE, ar-
rived in Rome on the 19th, and announced publicly,
to a gz oup of persons assembled at the gate of St.
John a f Lateran, that the POPE would soon follow him.

The Courrier des Alpes publishes the following
curious letter from Rome, dated the 15th :—" A
body ,of Austrian troops is shortly to advance upon
Rome, under the crders of General Baron D'ASPRF.
The object of this movement is to restore the impe-
rial and royal arms on the Palazzo di Venezia. Since
the departure of his HomNEss, they had not been
replaced on the residence of the Austrian Ambassa-
dor. They are to be hoisted at the very moment
the POPE will make his entry by the gate of St.
John of Lateran. It is believed the POPE will
insist on the permanence of these troops in his capital.
France, which evacuates Rome, partially at least, will
see no harm in letting Baron D'ASPRE place Austrian
sentinels at the gates of the Vatican and the Quirinal.
Thus will one of the difficulties be removed; for the
Sovereign PONTIFF must provisionally have a body
of troops at his command, till one of the plans in con-
templation, viz., the formation of a Spanish legion,
or the revival of the Order of the Knights of Malta,
shall have been put into execution."
The Observatore 1?oluano publishes a brief ad-
dress by the Supreme PONTIFF to Father VENTU-
RA, who in his letters to a Protestant has undertaken
to prove the truth of the tradition concerning the
journey of St. Peter to Rome and his subsequent stay
in that city :—" Our paternal heart (says Pius IX. in
his brief), has experienced true pleasure in conse•
quence of the public declaration you have printed and
spread, announcing that you submitted to the decree
of the Holy Congregation of the Index, invested with
the right of judging by our Supreme authority."
The Spanish General CORDOVA left Rome on
the 14th.

Letters from Perugia, in the Papal territory, of
the 12th, announce the arrest of forty individuals in
the environs of Spoleto, for having taken part in
the late tumult caused by the restoration of the
malt-tax.

The Nazionale of Florence quotes a letter from
Rome, of the 17th, announcing the arrival of an es-
taffette from Paris, and the departure, immediately
afterwards, of General BARAGUAY VIIILLIERS for
Portici. It is asserted, says this letter, he had re-
ceived precise orders from France to demand the im-
mediate return of the PorE, and in the case of a
refusal on the part of his HOLINESS, to establish a
Provisional Government at Rome.
A letter from Rome of the 20th inst. states that
the courier bringing dispatches from Naples was
stopped by seven armed men between the Pontine
Marshes and Velletri. The leader of the party com-
pelled three travellers to quit the carriage, which
they searched carefully. They took possession of the
letters, but touched nothing else.
The Genoa papers state that great activity has been
perceptible of late among the Jesuits, and that it is
rumoured a meeting of the chief individuals of that
body is to take place at Portici.
The correspondence from Turin alludes to the
rumours of the proposition made by Austria to cede
to Piedmont its states in Lombardy as far as the line
of the Minolta. The terms are said to be an in-
demnity of 400 millions the destruction of the for-
tress of Mantua, and the conclusion of an offensive
and defensive alliance.
Some difficulties had arisen between the Austrian
and Tuscan Governments relative to the convention
for the stay of Austrian troops in the Tuscan do-
minions.

GUARANTEED CHILIAN LoAriir.—A deputation of
merchants, consiving of Messrs. Fisher and Jordan, of
the city of Bristol, and Messrs. Dunlop and Dewar, of
the city of London, waited on Lord Palmerston on Sa-
turday, the 26th inst. The deputation was introduced
by Mr. Henry Berkeley, M.P. for the city of Bristol, and
was most graciously received Mr. Berkeley called
upon Mr. Fisher to state the case, and be was ably fol-
lowed by Mr. Jordan. Mr. Dunlop also addressed his
Lordship. In the course of Mr. Fisher's remarks he
took occasion to say that he had lost some thousands,
but he thought less of that than of the ruin which he
knew hung over others, and ho hoped his Lordship
would give them something more than a cold Ministerial
reply. Mr. Berkeley having urged on his Lordship's
attention the strong moral case brought before him, Lord
Palmerston kindly, and laughingly, assured Mr. Fisher
that he should have something more than a cold Mi-
nisterial reply; and, after a lucid statement, pledged
himself to give every assistance he could with propriety
to the merchants embarked in the Chilian loan, for the '
honourable adjustment of their claims.
DEATH OF SIR FELIX BOOTH, BART.—An in-
quest was held at Brighton' at twelve o'clock on Satur-
day, to inquire into the death of Sir Felix Booth. It
appeared that the deceased had arrived at the York
Hotel, Brighton, on Thursday afternoor. He went to
bed in his usual health at half-past ten o'clock. About
three o'clock in the morning he was attacked with a fit
of coughing, which disturbed Mr. Laurence, a friend of
the deceased, who slept in the adjoining room. Mr.
Laurence immediately went to the bedside of the de-
ceased, who died in about three minutes. Mr. Gavin
Pocock, surgeon, gave evidence as to his being the usual
medical attendant of the deceased, 'and expressed his
opinion that Sir Felix had died from disease of the
heart. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Sir
Felix was awe althy distiller, and served the office of
Sheriff of London in 1626-1829; he was also distin-
guished for his munificence, having presented Sir James
Rosa with 20,000/. to enable him to fit out his Polar
expedition. In 1834 he was created a baronet, with
special remainder, in default of male issue, to his brother,
Mr. William Booth, of Reydon-lodge, Essex. The de-
ceased baronet is succeeded by his nephew,- John
William Booth, born in 1805.
THE RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS THE TWEED..--
Much apprehension has lately been excited for the
safety of the temporary structure across the Tweed, lest
by a sudden thaw in the river, an accumulation of ice
might effect its destruction; •but we are happy to state
that any danger of such a result is now, fortunately, re-
moved. These fears attained their climax on Wednes-
day evening, when about four o'clock in the afternoon,
the ice began to•float down the river in large masses,
accumulating on the upper side of the bridge, and in the
course of about three hours an immense body of ice was
formed, extending nearly three-quarters of a mile up the
river, and varying from three to six feet in thickness.
Of course the utmost suspense was felt, the labours of
the men employed to clear a passage being utterly fruit-
less. At length, aoout ten P,31., when the tide began to
ebb, and there being a considerable " fresh" in the river,
the ice began to break up with great noise, and gradually
cle aced for itself a passage between the timbers without
the least injury to the bridge. The whole danger is,
therefore, now happily removed.—Berwick Warder.
. JENNY LIND.--lt is reported upon strong founda-
tion that this gifted vocalist is going over to America,
the most princely terms having been offered her by Mr.
Barnum, the former proprietor of General Tom Thumb.
The money, some 30,0001., it is stated, is already placed
in the hands of a third party. In addition to this, Jenny
is to have a proportion of the receipts after a certain
amount; and she is not to be fettered in the event of her
wishing to sing gratuitously for any local charity.
Benedict and Beletti accompany her. We have been
-.led that the entire proceeds of this musical pre-
sneeopriated by the generous hearted
' -ndowment of an hospital in

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cot'on at Liverpool on Saturday were
6 000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken on speculation.
Among the transactions were 5,500 American at bid to
8d; 200 Egyptian at 7d to', Sid; 200 Surat at 41,4 d to
sd; and 100 Sea Island at is Id to is 3d per lb.
—ln Railways only a limited business was done, at
rather lower quotations.
The Corr -trade in Mark-lane has been very dull
to-day, wheat being is. to 2-. lower; and other articles
also generally depressed.
Upon tho state of the Iron-trado in Staffordshire,
Arias Birmingham Gazette of to-day states :
" Some slight fritmuption has been experienced in
this, as in most other trades, from the late severity of
the weather; but hitherto a gratifying and determined
firmness in price has been adhered to, and most of the
works here are in full average activity. Arrears of or-
ders continue to be given out, and are now more readily
accepted, as there apt ears little doubt that the trade will
remain steady for the ensuing month. There exists by
no means any press of demand to sanction a hasty
adoption of higher figures, nor would the attempt be
sustained; but there is, as we have be fore stated, acheerful
feeling predorrinc:Lt regarding the future, that when the
proper t'me arrives f>r any movement at all, it will be
one in the right direction. There are circumstances
that apparently justify such an expectation, among
which are the arrival cf considerable orders for rails, and
the favourable recurrence of public attention towards
railway interests at home. With the prosperity and re-
verses of these wholesale markets for its produce, the
ebbs and flows cf the iron trade must continue inti-
mately blended. Pieces of Welsh merchant iron, which
vary with every breath, and so afford the earliest
indication cf any tendency to change, certainly occupy
an improving position, and Scotch pigs, although they
have sufferel a slight reaction in price during the last
fortnight, are again represented as being firmly held.
As a set off to this it must not, however, be forgotten
that in Scotland a large accumulation of stock is taking
place without any discernible outlet in view, and the
make of Welsh 'iron is pm tentuously increasing. This
is the most favourable account that a careful investiga-
tion of what is passing in our own district, and an im-
partial observation of daily transactions, enables us to
offer. Upon what foundations those gaudy representa-
tions are supported that are continually issuing from a
certain portion of the press we cannot at all under-
stand."
There are a good many arrivals from abroad, as the
wind has changed, but neither the Australian, Mauri-
tius, and Rio receipts are so late as those which have
reached us by the Overland Mail and the American
steamers. With regard to the river Plate, merchants in
the City consider that rather too much has been made
of Roses' delay in officially receiving the En-
glish .Minister, Mr. Southern. We confess, how-
ever, that from our distrust of the Dictator,
we cannot form very sanguine expectations in this re•
spect, and look upon nothing as certain in the foreign
policy of the Argentine Republic, except perhaps that
no permanently cordial relations are likely to be long
maintained with European states while the present Go-
vernor rules. The commercial markets, it has for some
time been augured, would be spoiled by a glut of goods,
and without any interf rence with the internal dealings,
the reaction that is advised as having occurred was only
regarded as a question ef time.
The continental advises give us the Frankfort quota-
tions of the 24th inst. The Austrian Metallics were
85 to 1, and the Spanish Three per Cents. 29k. At
Berlin on the 23d inst. the Prussian Three-and-a- Half
per Cents. were 881. In the Amsterdam Bourse Dutch
Stocks did not vary much, and South American were
still in fair request.
The approaching meeting of Parliament is looked far
with great interest in the City; and although the Pro-
tectionists are expected to be rather more active, no
apprehension is entertained that they can seriously im-
pede the business of the country, provided the free traders
keep on the alert.
We understand that private letters from Lisbon speak
confidently of the Count Thomar maintaining his posi-
tion as First Minister of the Crown, which, from the
confidence reposed in him by the chairman and com-
mittee of the foreign bondholders, as evinced at the last
public meeting on his re-accession to power, cannot but
prove most satisfactory as regards their future interests
and prospects. The Finance Minister, Senor Avila, is
proceeding with great tact and judgment in various fi-
nancial reforms tending to the re-establishment of the
credit of the country, as may be clearly instanced in the
rate of discount on paper, which, on his Excellency's ac-
cession to the office was as high as 48 per cent., and by
the last accounts was reduced to 18 or 19.
The English Funds have been rather fluctuating
again, and oflthough the anticipation of a favourable
speech from the Throne inspirits some of the Bulls, the
fear of a warm opposition from the Protectionists also
emboldens many of the speculators for a fall, in con-
junction with the appearance of matters in Germany
and the Russian loan. There was a money sale by an
influential broker soon after the commencement of
business, and Consols, which were 961 # for
Transfer dropped to 96. Time -bargains have been
effected at 961 to -a, and the more recent bargains have
been at 96k to f. Bank Stock is about 2051 to 207.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have Ix en
quoted 981 to f, and the Three per Cents. 96k tot.
Exchequer-bills have been 58s. to 605., and India Bonds
90s. to 935. premium.
A most extensive business has been transacted in
Foreign Securities, principally the South American.
Peruvian have risen to 72 and 731, Equador are
buoyant at 4# Grenada at 18i j, and Venezuela at
32. Mexican nave been 291 Buenos Ayres are a
little flatter, being 53* to 644. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have realised 36k to 37, and Spanish Three per
Cents. 36i.
The half-yearly balance sheets of the various railway
eompanies are being issued preparatory to the meetings.
The North Stafford is unsatisfactary, and the London
shareholders seem ardently to desire an entire change of
management, being not only greatly disappoiuted at the
traffic and the unrealization of the promises held out,
but likewise considering the expenditure to be excessive,
and the management defective, while the raising of fur-
ther capital is regarded as being likely to swamp the
whole interest on the original shares. The East Lanca-
shire report exhibits a profit of 45,1131. for the 6 months,
and it is proposed to pay at the rate of 2 per cent. per
annum on the original 251. shares, and to distribute
4,257/. on the quarter shares. To pay the 2 per cent.
above-referred to, 5,634/. has to be taken from the re-
served fund. We are glad to see these Recounts signed
and approved by a public accountant.
The Railway Share Market is not quite so good,
either in respect to prices or demand.

BOW-STR.EET.-(THIS DAY.)
A respectably-attired man, named Callighan, was
charged with creating a disturbance in the public streets,
and assaulting the police in the execution of their duty.
Police-constable F 61 stated that, between one and

two o'clock on Sunday morning, he was on duty in
Drury-lane, when he hcard a noise in Short's•gardens,
and on going there he found a mob assemblel, and the
prisoner knocking violently at No. 6. The landlord of
the house rEfased to let him in, and the prisoner then
deliberately put his fist through one of the panes of
glass in the window of the house. The constable now
thought it high time to put a stop to his proceedings,
and tried to induce him to go quietly away to the station.
Instead of doing so, however, ho became very abusive,
kicking the officer in the private part of his body several
times, and the upshot was that the officer had to pro-
cure assistance and forcibly remove him. At the
station the prisoner threatened to put a ballet through
the officer's head when he got out again.
Mr. HALL—What are you, prisoner? Prisoner—l
am a butcher.

Mr. HALL--Well, what have you to say to the charge?
Prisoner—Why, the policeman treated me shamefully,
and the people in the house destroyed a suit of clothes
of mine worth 51.

Mr. HALL—But tbat would be no justification for
your breaking the glass or kicking the officer in this
brutal manner.

Prisoner—Well, I admit I was drunk and excited.
Mr. HALL—You are liable to be imprisoned for a
month, but, bogeying that you were not sufficiently
conscious to know what you were doing when you as-
saulted the officer, I shalt commit you for fourteen days
only.
The prisoner was then removed.

A STIR IN THE NEWS 'CHANGE, CATHERINE-
STREET.—A respcetibl3 -attired man was charged be-
fore Mr. Henry under the following circurnqlnces :
Police-constable F 109 Osposed that he we.; on his
I est in Catherine-street on Saturday last, about five
o'clock in the aft?rnoon, when his progress was inter-
rupts 1 by the mob of boys and mew who congregate on
the right hand bide of the street, for the purpose of ex-
cLagging the one with the other any newspapers they
may have left. The boys always go off the pavement
when they see him, but some of the adults refuse. On
Saturday afternoon the prisoner was one of these, and
on the constable expostulating with him, he positively
refused to go off, when the ethers who bad gone into
the road returned to the pavement, and seemed deter-
mined to remain there. Tho sergean tale° spoke t,) the
prisoner, but he resolutely refused to go off the pave.
ment. They we re consequently obliged to take him into
custody. The general pedestrians were forced t) walk
in the road, the pavement being quite blocked up by the
newsmen end boye.
Mr. HENRY said that it was an intolerable nuisance
both tj the inhabitants and those who had occasion to
pass through Catherine. street in the afternoon.
The prisoner said he did not refuse to go off.
Mr. HENRY remarked that he was astonished a man
of his age should be guilty of such conduct, as he must
know that the Act of Parliament forbad the congre.
gating together of mobs on the pavement, no matter for
what purpose; and that same Act allowed him to fine
any ore infringing it 40'. He added, that he felt very
willing to let the present case go unpunished; but he
ce=rtainly must have the promise of the prisoner never to
commit himself again.

numerous friends, who crowded the court, anxious to
hear the judgment.

CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY).—This forenoon,
at ten o'clock, a jury was =panelled before Mr. Bedford,
c toner for Westminster, at the Hanover Picture Gal-
'e, y, No. 33, Georgt -street, Hanover-square, on view of
the body of Mr. lb nry F. Artar;a, the late proprietor,
who committed suicide by the fumes of charcoal. The
Coroner, with the jury, having seen the body and the
om in which the melancholy act was committed, re-
ceived the following evidence;—Mr. Angelo C. Ihayter,
a relative of the deceased, No. 14, 13, rners-street, stated
that fifteen months ago deceased was attacked with a
brain fever. He has since been in a desponding state.
He was frequently in a distressed state of mind without
any real cause, as his business was not at all compli-
cated. Joseph Newman, servant to the deem-eel, said
that deceased had appeared strange for some time past.
Abut a month ago he directed witness not to go into
the room where the body was found. A fortnight after
he asked witness for some paste. The room was used
to repair and varnish pictures. On Thursday list about
noon deceased, on witness leaving, told him that he need
not come again at two o'clock, his (witness's) usual hour
of returning. Witness never saw deceased use paste be-
fore. The sky light, the openings in the door, and
every place where there was an opening was pasted.
There was a brazier in the room with some charcoal in
it. He found deceased on Friday morning. Mr. Chap-
pell, surgeon, Conduit-street, who was called in, said
that deceased was lying on his stomach with his hands
under him. Witness thinks he placed himself in that po-
sition. He had been dead six or seven hours. Verdict,
" Temporary insanity."
Fruszicn CLAIBIS.—On Saturday a Parliamentary
paper was printed, in pursuance to an order of the
House of Commons made at the close of the late session,
for a return of unsettled demands on the funds provided
by the Government of Franco for liquidating the claims
of British subjects, and e f the remaining balance, &c. It
appears from the document that the Lords of the Trea-
sury, on the 13th of April, 1840, confirmed by their
minutes, dated the 23d of May, and the 25th of July,
1848, apportioned the whole of the balance of the fund
pro rata among the claimants and there no longer exists
a balance in hand. On the 25th of July, 1848, the
balance was 16 0671., which sum the Treasury requested
Dr. Phillimore to apportion for the pro rata payment of
the interest on claims admitted under their Lordships'
minute of the 15th of May, 1833, and adjudicated on for
the first time by the board of commissioners existing at
the date of the letter. The return was obtained by Mr.
Henry Berkeley, and is nearly the last moved for in the
session of 1849.
