ITALY.

The convention between the Grand Duke of Tus-
CANT 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 CIA curt,
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 CIACCHI. 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 Rome, 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 bales, 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•
lbhigher for all kinds. The sales comprised
10,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham at 7.1 d. to
7id., 1,000 Bahia at 71d. to 71d., 1,000 Egyptian at
74d. to 8.1-cl.; 2,000 Surat at 41d. to sid.; and 60 Sea
Island at Is. Id. to ls. 4d. per 11/.—ln Railway Shares a
fair business was done at full quotations.
Accounts of April 4 have been received by her Ma-
jesty's packet Express, which brings 28,0004 in specie,
but indirectly we have had later news. The rate of ex-
change was 281 d. to 284 d.
A direct arrival from Buenos Ayres gives us dates of
March 9. Roses, as a matter of course, had been re-
elected Governor and Captain-General, and the same
farce of refusal or pretendedly-unwilling acquiescence
was to be gone through. 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.
In a communication 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
north-west to procure farms, while there are thousands
of acres of untenanted fertile lands in Virginia, Ten-
neese, Georgia, Florida, and, in short, in all the
southern and south-western States, which are
more sure to produce a good return than
are the lands of the north-west. The climate, too,
is more congenial and favourable to the growth of the
great staples and breadstuff's; and though the season
may be retarded by the late frosts, the length of the
summer is more than can possibly be obtained in the
north-west, where the cropping season is so short and
uncertain.
"It would be 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 converted 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
valuable.
" The recent proposed emigration is an evidence that
all the public lands will be taken up, and it would be
well for Congress to relinquish the idea of giving away
the public domain, while there are so many who will
gladly buy it."
The English Funds have risen again this morning,
Consols having been done at 96k and 96k, but the se-
cond delivery of letters from Paris has brought an
important rumour, viz., that the Russian Ambassador
is recalled. There is, however, a reservation appa-
rently, and it is to the effect that tho 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 taken of the somewhat loose statement
just received from France. Consols now are 96
to 1. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 97 to 94, and the Three per Cents. 9.5 i to 1,
but the former are now 961 to 97, and the latter 95 to 1.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 6ss. to 715., and India
07 • to on. Dromiuer, Bank Stock has been marked
207 to 2071.
The Committee of Spanish Bondholders have received
a letter from the Duke of Valencia, expressing the
sympathy of his Excellency for tho position of
the foreign :creditors, but intimating at the
same time his conviction that it would be
very undesirable that Spain should offer terms which it
might be beyond its ability to carry out. His • Excel-
lency suggests further, that a special agent should be
sent by the bondholders to 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 30i and are now
30i for Money. Spanish Three per Cents.
have been 381, and are now 37i. Peruvian
Active Bonds have realised 76 to 77, and the Deferred
33i to 34i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
quoted 33. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 56t to 57, and Russian Scrip is 3 prem.

Railway Shares have all been decidedly higher again
this morning, but at the time of our writing there is
some reaction. The account is Bullish apparently.
