The Piedinontese Gazette of the 25th states that a
serious popular disturbance broke out on the 12th at
Sutri (Roman States) against the Pontifical Veliter.
An imposing military force was sent there, and seven
persons were arrested.
The Giornale di Roma of the 20th contains a long
list of military men who have been rewarded for their
late services by the orders of Pius and of ST. SYL-
TESTER, as also by advancement and gold medals.
In the sitting of the 24th of the Chamber of De-
puties of Turin, Signor INIENABREA. read the report
on the Ministerial 13111 proposing the alienation of six
millions of rentes for the payment of the war indem-
nity to Austria.
A report having been current at Turin that the
Piedmontese Government had stopped the monthly
allowance to GARIBALDI, the Gazetta del Popolo of
Turin of the 25th declares that the report is without
foundation.

The Piedmontese Gazette devotes a leader to the
article of the Milan Gazette which we lately men-
tioned, severely censuring the friendly behaviour of
General LA MARMORA. towards the Italian refugees
who had arrived in the island of Sardinia under Colo-
nel Morrri, notwithstanding their being deserters.
The Pied►nontese Gazette, while admitting that the
military code is against them, declares that it would
be unjust to judge those soldiers and officers according
to the inexorable precepts of a court-martial, since
public opinion, in all ages, has constantly distin-
guished from common desertion the case in which
military men think it their duty to fight for the inde-
pendence of their country. In support of its view
of the case, the Piedmontese Gazette quotes the ex-
ample of the princes and people of Germany in 1813,
who, tired of the yoke of NAPOLEON, preached and
rewarded the desertion of Germans from the French
army ; although the French would have had a right
to judge and candemn such deserters by court-
martial, had they fallen again into their hands.
The Nazionalo of Florence of the 22d states tbat
Signor BALDASSERONI, the Tuscan Prime Minister,
has taken with him to Vienna all the papers relating
to the constitution and organic laws of Tuscany.
The Council Chamber of the Tribunal of First In-
stance of Sassari (Sardinia) has decided that there
were not sufficient motives for proceeding against
Monsignor Vaassinsf, Archbishop of that place, for
his circular recommending the clergy not to obey the
law abolishing ecclesiastical privileges. Tne Fiscal
Advocate, insisting on the incompetence of the tri-
buaal, has opposed this decision, and brought th'i
npater before tha Section of Accusations. Alonsignor
VARESSINI is still in custody.

THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.
Letters from Malta state that the:British Mediter-
ranean fleet is about to sail to Gibraltar.

The members of the Reform Club, including some
of the most distinguished advocates of liberal principles in
England, intend entertaining L rd Palmerston at a magnifi-
cent banquet, early this month, as a testimony of their ad-
miration of his private character, and approTal of the policy
which he h s adoptt•d in the capacity of her Majesty's
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Arrangements for
a metropolitan dinner, to commemorate the recent victory
in the House of Commons, are also stated to be in progress.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK,
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday elged
firmly and wits more spirit. Prices ol all kinds ,a.re
uli) sustained. The vales were estimated at 10,4
of which 1,000 American were taken for expltt
ale' 2,000 on speculation.—la Railway Shares only a
limited business was done at decidedly lower prices.
The Corn trade is steady.
We are advised from Manchester by 11L-sarF. UPNaI;
Greenhow, and Irving, that any mat-rial extent of hush
ness is but seldom expected to roe ult from June, whic\
t•ciiig what is termed " between seasons,'' it is general')
a period noted for much inactivity. Outwardly so I
cossaidereble portion of the closing month has realised it
ordinary character. The transactions cf the period
however, have only been exceeded once since 1845, and
that was exactly twelve months ago. During the past
week of the month so sensitive has this market now ne-
cessarily become, while the demand for cotton was
pretty animated and general, and when prices of both
cloth and yarns maintained comparative firmness, a con-
siderable amount of business was done in each. Imme-
diately upon the cotton market becoming quieter, and a
decline in value taking place, a corresponding feeling
here became perceptible, and led to an important cur-
tailment of the di- mand, which continued with increased
unwillingness on the part of buyers to operate except for
pressing wants, until the arrival of the Asia, on
the 22d, bringing more unfavourable accounts as
to the growing crops of cotton, and additional
confirmatory news as to the falling off of the receipts
at the ports of tha United States. The cessation of the
demand was attended, it need hardly be remarked, with
a decline in the value of both cloth and twist. Since
this day week, with the revival of demand for cotton,
and the recovery of what it had lost in value, con-
siderable activity and animation have characterized this
market. The purchases of both cloth and twist, which
may be said to have recovered generally the decline
from the rates prevalent previous to the depression,
have been very extensive, and the result is as previously
indicated.

The accounts received by the steamer from New
York, state that the supply of sterling bills was not large,
and that drawers were firm, the demand being active.
Financial matters appear to be sound, and there was not
much speculation going on, although an anxiety prevailed
to do business. Trade with the interior had been good,
although the prices obtained were not always satisfac-
tory. The value of the foreign dry goods entered at
New York, for consumption in the week, to the 19th ult.,
was 703,539 dollars, and for warehousing, &c., 257,136
dollars. The accounts from the west concerning the
crops were not altogether favourable, but it was too
early to form an opinion.
The Trent steamer will bring over nearly two mil-
lions of dollars in specie.
Accounts of June 8 have been received from Jamaica
by way of the United States. The intelligence of the
invasion of Cuba had been received there and caused
some sensation.
The Nova Scotian, alluding to the Government
of New Brunswick having declined to send au-
thorised delegates to Washington, for the purpose of
advocating the interests of that province in the pend-
ing negotiations, says that the several provinces are
interdicted from adopting that course, the British
Government having left the whole matter in the hands
of Sir Henry Bulwer, who is alone authorised to treat
upon the subject. Of course our contemporary says
there is nothing in existing arrangements to prevent per-
sons from the provinces using their influence at Wash-
ington, in order, if possible, to secure the advantages
resulting from reciprocal trade with the Americans. We
have already mentioned that the Attorney-General of
New Brunswick, and the Hon. Mr. Chandler have pro-
ceeded to Washington to look after the interests of that
province. We now learn that the Hon. William
Young, Speaker of the Assembly of Nova Scotia, has
also gone thither on a similar errand for the atter
colony.

Papers have been received from Port Natal to the end
of April. Emigrants were arriving in considerable
numbers, but they are dissatisfied with the Government
allowance of land. Correspondence had taken place
between them and the Government, complaining of the
quality and quantity of the land appropriated to them;
and in the end the local Government gave the emigrants
forty-five acres instead of twenty. The emigrants who
arrived alter this arrangement looked for the same
bounty, which in justice cannot be withheld. From the
correspondence, it would appear that the greatest har-
mony does not exist with the emigration agent and the
Government, by which the emigrant is made to suffer.
All the shipping had been enabled to discharge their
cargo and passengers. There appears to be a great
deal of activity consequent upon the arrival of so many
emigrants.

news is not of a character to influence prices, being
generally favourable.
In Foreign Securities the transactions have been un-
important. Mexican Bonds are rather firmer at 30 to k.
Advices of 21st May state that Congress was to meet in
extraordinary session on the 20th May. The most im •
