ITALY.

The Riforma of Lucca states from Leghorn, Feb.
27, that the Austrian officers in garrison there believe
they will be ordered to Rome very shortly, while a
Croatian regiment will take their place at Leghorn.
The following notification has been publizbed there by
the military commander:—
"This is to notify that the state of siege hitherto
limited to this city and to a radius of a mile beyond it,
shall henceforth comprise all the country as far as
Antignano, and is extended also over the whole terri-
tory under the jurisdiction of the delegate of the port.
_ " The Colonel Count F. DE CAENEVILLE.

" Leghorn, Feb. 25."
The Risorgimento of Turin quotes letters from Bo-
logna, of the 25th ult., stating that new highway
robberies bad been committed in the vicinity. The
Roman Government has issued a circular to all its
functionaries, ordering them to cut of their mus-
tachios. The Giornale di Roma, of the 233, contains
an article in answer to the Observatore Romano,
which ha I alluded to the possibility of the interesting
ancient paintings lately found on the Esquilino being
exported to enrich some foreign museum, meaning
thereby the museum of Path.. The answer of the
official paper is, that the Government, in the case of
imaginary and exorbitant pretensions, will use the
power which existing laws place in its hands to pre-
vent ancient monuments from leaving Rome to adorn
any museum of Europe. _ _ _

A letter from Rome of the 26th ult. says—
" Yesterday 6,000 French troops marched out in fine
order, commanded by General Baraguay when
a sham fight took place. An immense concourse of the
Romans went to see it. The rapidity (..f movement and
vivid firing were surprising. No accident whatever
occurred, and the day was delightful. The General
gave a soiree in the evening, which was attended by all
the noblesse cf Rome; it was remarked that no Cardinals
were present."

Leiters from Rome in the IVazionale of Florence
state that several thousand Austrians are shortly
expected there for the ostensible purpose of raising
the Imperial arms over the hotel of the Austrian
Embassy.

Cernrischi, who was acquitted by the French court .
martial of the charges brought against him, has been
again arrested by order of the Cardinals, and will be
again tried on the same accusation.
Letters from Leghorn, of the 231 ult., state that
the fortress of Purtoferrajo is to receive an Austrian
garrison. The Austrians are fortifying the fort
of Portzmurata, at Leghorn, on the land side. A
battalion of Imperial cavalry arrived at Leghorn on
the 221 Arrests are still the order of the day. M.
Antoine Boneparte has arrived from Marseilles, and
proceeded to Florence.

The Toronto Board of Trade, in its annual report,
comes forward in support of free trade, and states—
" Your council congratulates the board twat the obstruc-
tion to the freedom of trade between foreign countries
and this colony has been removed by an alteration in the
navigation-laws, which will have a tendency to remove
the disparity which now exists in the price of produce
between this country and the Uoi-ed States, and your
council looks forward with confidence to the increased
prosperity which such an act of liberality on the part of
the mother country cannot foil of producing."
In the same report it ia also obrervzd :—" Your
council deems it c f the utmost consequence that facili-
ties and encouragement should be held out to a better
class of emigrants, and it is believed that much might
be effected through the instrumentality of the colonial
; it is highly important that
d develope the resources
legista'ure. Rapid strides have of late years been made
ir'
ve domesticr
of United Canada."

The opinion which we gave yeit 'relay as to the
upward tendency of the Stock Lrket, has bean borne
everything
out by an improvement in Consols to 95i and 96. The
hope that the French elections will go off well, and
that the other Continental questions will quietly be dis-
posed of, encourages patties to buy, and the abundance
of money is an vsistance to them. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98i to 981, and the
Three per Cents. 96il- to 1. Exchequer-bills are 555. to
585., an improvement of Is.
Foreign Stocks have been rather quiet, but generally
are firm. Peruvian Active Bonds have been marked 731
to 74f, and the Deferred 314 to 32k. Mexican Bonds
have been 29i 1. Brazilian New Bonds have been sold
at 88. Portuguese Four per Cent. have been quoted

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the MASTER OF THE ROLLS.)
The Court was occupied throughout the morning in
hearing the further arguments of counsel in a part-heard
case of Wilson v. Eden, the question in which turns
upon the construction of a will.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
PINCHIN AND OTHERS V. DOWLING.

A HEAVY DEFALCATION.—The plaintiffs are brewers
at Northgate, Bath, and de'endant had been their
London agent. The action was brought to recover the
sum of 1,4901., the balance of an account for money had
and received on account f the plaintiff,.
The LEARNED COUNSEL for the plaintiffs skid that
the only question was one of amount, and is that there
could be no difficulty, for the defendant had written a
letter admitting that he had received 1,8521. lls. on
account of the plaintiffs. Two gentlemen who had be-
come sureties for the defendant paid 2001., and other
sums were paid, reducing the balance to the sum now
claimed.
The jury gave a verdict for 1,490/.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONiLANQUE.)
IN RE WOODS AND THOMAS.
These bankrupts were described as of Cheapside,
warehousemen and hardwaremen, and to-day was ap-
pointed for consideration cf the certificate.
Mr. LINKLATER, for the assignees, said they had
nothing to offer in oppofition, but one creditor con-
ceived himself aggrieved, and wished to oppose, but he
had not proved his debt, nor bad he given notice of op-
position. Ho (Mr. Linklater), therefore, being solicitor
to the fiat, wished to take his Honour'a opinion whether
he bad not a locus slancli to put the case before the Court,
and whether, in fact, he was not bound to do so.
Mr. LAWRANCE objected, contunding that if an opposi-
tion of this nature were admitted, the very object of the
L-gislature was defeated. It was enacted that the
assignees need not give notice, as they represented the
interests of the general estate, but it creditors, who had
neither proved nor given notice of opposition, could be
.
represented in the way proposed: would be doing in-
directly what directly was prohibited, and a bankrupt
would never know, what charges he had to meet.
His HONOUR said there might be cases which affected
the general estate, although raised by an individual
creditor, and in that case the assignees could be heard,
but not to adopt tho personal complaint of the creditor.
The opposition must, tlieref,,re, be confined to the ques-
tion, as to how far the general estate was affected.
After a short examination,
His liorrotia said that a first-class certificate was the
highest proof of the approbation of the Court of the
bankrupt's conduct, and that the bankruptcy had been
wholly caused by unavoidable losses and misfortunes •
in this case he could not go to that extent, but it cer-
tainly was a ease in which he could give a certificate of
tLe second class.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(Tuts DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and Mr. Justice
WIGHTMAN.)
ROBBERY IN THE POST-OFFICE.—Henry !Planning, 36,
described as a postman, was indicted with stealing a post
letter containing half a sovereigr, one sixpence, and a
penny stamp, the property cf the Postmaster-General.
Mr. BALLANTINE, who appealed to da!Lci the pri-
soner, aAed for a postponement cf the trial, on the
grourd that the accused was now labouring under
insanity.

Mr. Justice WICIITMAN said it would be necessary to
leave the question as to the prisoner's sanity for the de-
cision of the jury.
Mr. M'i%lurdo, the surgeon of Ncwgate, was then
callei, and said ho had seen the prisoner from time to
time since he became an inmate of the gaol, and he was
of opinion that he was not in a fit state to plead, being of
unsound mind. He thought ho would not be able to un-
derstand the evieence.
Mr. J. Miller, ten.istant-surgeon Lt the Bethnal-
green Lunat'c Asylum, said the prisoner wrs admitted
as a patient to that institution in May, 1848, and was
discharged in June following, h6ving been cured.
Justice WxokimAzi 1(.4 it to the jury to say
