- ITALY.
In Italy the war was carried on with variable
success. The Anslrians have entered Ferrafa,
levied contributions and supplies, and then again
Withdrew from the city. By The most recent ac-
counts from The roval camp, nil communications
between Man,ua Verona and Lenagno are COM
plelely interrupted. The Duke CT Genoa, with
Is, 900 men. invests Verona on both sides of the
Adige, in The positions near Rivol. The Duke
oil Savoy is on The other side OF Ducasello, TO
Continual skirmishes take place, bat none OF
character to decide the fate OF Italy. The Cham
bers OF Turin have voted for the annexation Of
Venice 10 Piedmont Immediately.
The king OF Naples was made cognizanl OF the
election OF the Duke OF Genoa 10 the throne Of
Sicily, and he commenced preparations on an eI-
tensivs scaleior the invasion oflhat island. Ii was
calculated that The forces available for he inva-
sion would be about 10000 troops in Calabria,
about 5 900 in the fortress of Messina, and 600 or
800 in Naples. II was expected that The embar-
kalion would take place about The 2Olh, and they
would land at Syracuse.
From Spain we learn Ihatlhe Queen has been
officially declared 10 be eneicnte However, some
impediment has occasioned alarming fears for
the illustration OF the hopes of loyal SpaniaIds.
We thought that the Monemolnist movement
on the Northern frontier had not succeeded, but
The accounts are so little lIuswouhy, that il is
impossible TO speak Of the subject with any de-
gree OF certainly. Don Francisco de Paula, the
father ofthe King Consort, has been e1ied.
PORTUGAL.
Nothing remarkable has occurred in Portugal.
The lasl dates are TO the l9.h ull. from Lisbon,
when affairs were very gloomy.
INDIA.
The overland mail from India has arrived bring
in. dates frcm Bombay 10 the Isl June, Calcutta
10 the 2nd OF June and Hong Kong 10 The 24lh
OF May, inclusive. Al The Chinese port every
thing remained quiet. Al Hong Kong there was
better feeling Tor the import business.
The news from France had occasioned great
alarm, and business was al stand still. Riley,
Core & Co. had stopped payment.
COMMERCIAL.
The progress of trade and commerce during
the past week has been greatly retarded by the
extreme uneasiness which is ielt respecting the
Stale of af1air in Ireland. The markets for Co.
louial produce have hitherto been less active,
with the exception OF sugar, which has been in
fair demand. The sales OF cotton are 10 mode
rate extent.
The corn trade has been active, and prices ra.
Their higher. Manufactured goods are less in.
quired after Tor home use. The money market
Is easy, and the rates of interest remain al the
figure last quoted Since The sailing Of the Anne
RIGA, the sales of cotton amount 10 "a, 100 bales
| of which Spectators took 2,700 American, and
exported 1880 American, ! $40 Pernams, and 30
Surals, leaving D. $3.50 bales Tor The consumers
| use. The general lone OF The market has been
quiet and without animation Prices Of nearly
| all descriptions remain the same as on this day
week. II any change, il is in favor ofthe buyer.
The market yesterday closed with little
cheerlulness, and sales TO The extent OF nearly
5000 bales were effected al full prices. The es-
timaled STOCK oil cotton at Liverpool now amounts

The imports of this year, as compared with
those OF las, season 10 similar dale, show an in.

This, coupled with reports of The re.appear-
ance of the potato disease, has caused some spe-
culalion in The grain trade, consequently prices
have advanced tor most articles offered TOR sale
