ITALY.

The convention between the Grand Duke of TLIS..
CANY and the Emperor of AUSTRIA for the occupation
of the duchy by Austrian troops has been officially
published. It is dated the 22d April. The army of
occupation is to consist of 10,000 men of all arms.
Intelligence has been received from Rome of the
25th. The Concordia states that Cardinal CIACCHI,
the author of the protest against the Austrians, has
sent in his resignation as Cardinal, but it is not
known whether the POPE has accepted it. Several
other Cardinals, fearing lest some day the vengeance
of the people may burst over them, meditate follow-
ing the example of CeAccur. The system of Go-
vernment pursued by ANTONELLI is so brutal that the
most obtuse even despise it, or refuse to accept the
responsibility of it. It is. certain (continues the Con-
cordia) that thrice has the POPE attempted to escape
from Items, but the French keep strict watch over
him.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 hales, of which 500 Surat were taken
for export, and 3,000 American, 500 Egyptian, and
1,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed 1-16 d.
per lb. higher for all kinds. The sales comprised
10,000 American, 500 Pei-nand and•Maranharn at 714. to
1,000 Bahia at 7-id. to 70., 1,000 Egyptian at
74. J. to B,fd.; 2,000 Surat at 41d. to 5:1d.; and 60 Sea
Island at Is. Id. to ls. 41 per Railway Shares a
fair business was done at full quotations.
Accounts of April 4 have been received by her Ma-
jesty's packot Express, which brings 28,000/. in specie,
but indirect vwe have had later news. The rate of ex-
change was .taBld. to 2841 d.
A direct arrival from Buenos Ayres zives us dates of
March 9. Roses, as a matter of course, had been re-
flected Govornor and Captain-General, and the same
farce of retussl, or pretendedly-unwilling acquiescence
am to be ;,Tole iiii-ough. There were 185 vessels in
port, of which 50 were British. The exchange on Lon-
don was 3 5-16 d. to 3 11-32 d.
Li a comma tication from New York it is stated:—
" It is singularly strange that all the emigrants, pos-
sessing means, arriving in this country, whether-at the
northern ports or New Orleans, immediately go to the
northfwe-,:-. to procure farms, while there are thousands
of acres of irPaenanted fertile lands in Virginia, Ten-
neve, Georgia-, Florida, and, in short, in all the
southern and Bluth-wastern States, which are
more sane to produce a good return than
are the Linda of the nort,i-west. The climate, too,
is more coup mini and Lvourable to the growth of the
great stapes and breadstuffs; and though the season
may be retarded by the late frosts, the length of the
summer is 1110-'e than can possibly be obtained in the
north-west, wi.,tere the cropping season is so short and

uncertain.
"It would Le well for those who come to this new
world with means, to visit those sections of our country,
and there is very little doubt but that thousands of acres
of waste land would soon be coeverted into splendid and
productive plantations, which could not but pay a rich
reward to the possessor. The lands can be bought as
cheap there as at the west, while they are much more
va!usble.
" The recent proposed emigration is an evidence that
all the public lands will be taken up, and it would be
well for Ceng-sess to relinquish the idea of giving away
the public dossairi, while there are so many who will
gladly buy it."
The English Funds have risen again this morning;,
Consols iraviees been done at 96j and 96-1, but the se-
cond delivery of letters from Paris has brought an
importarst ruraour, viz., that the Russian Ambassador
is recalled. There is, however, a reservation appa-
rently, and it is to the effect that the Rus-
sian Ambassador at Paris has power to keep
back the dispatches if he finds that, upon
their arrival, there is a fair prospect of a setttlement with
France, or that circumstances have altered. This at least
is the view tali en of the somewhat loose statement
just received from France. Consols now are 96
to ii. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 97 to, 97-i, and the Three per Cents. 954- to i,
but the former are now 95i to 97, and the latter 95 to
-A-.
Exchequer bills have been quoted M. to 715., and India
Bonds 87i. to 9 Os. premium. Bank Stock has lama marked
207 to 207 i.
The Comini ttee of Spanish Bondholders have received
a letter from the Duke of Valencia, expressing the
sympathy of his Excellency for the position of
the foreign creditors, but intimating at the
same time his conviction that it would to
very undesirable that Spain should offer terms which it
might be beyond its ability to carry out. His
suggests Exce-
l
sent by the bondholders 0 Madrid to represent their
interests.
In the Foreign Stock Market there was an im-
proving tendency until the price of Consols gave
way. Mexican Bonds were 301 .1, and are now
304 i for Money. Spanish Three per Cents.
have been 3E-k, and are now 374. Peruvian
Active Bonds nave realised 764 to 77, and the Deferred
331 to 3•qi. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
quoted 33. DuirclAhococo'oll.'u.w.not..-..and-a-llalf per Cents. have
been 561 to 57. and Russian Scrip is 3 prem.

some reaction. The account is Bullish apparently.
