The Niagara arrived at a quarter past seven
o'clock, this morning, from Halifax. Her mails
will be despatched to New York this afternoon.
The N. brought no specie from England. She has

Annexed arc few items Of intelligence
Affairs In Italy.
1t Is calculated that the forces which can be put
in motion against the Austrians amount to about
g, 900 men. Prince Eugene, of Savoy Carignan,
is appointed Leutenant-G General of the kingdom
during the absence Of the King from the capital.
Marshal Radetsky has threatened to lay Milan in
ashes should an instruction be attempted there.
He is said TO have at his disposal lOO, 900 men,
7O, 900 of whom can be brought into the field.
Rome.
The Assembly has voted by reclamation pro-
;ect of decree abolshing the holy Office, and de-
cided that pillar should be erected on the site of
the Palace where it had been installed. In the
sitting on the LIST ult M. Sterbini announced that
the executive government had made every prepa-
ration for the war which was about to take place
with Austria; for war there certainly would be,
as the government was determined not to wait
until the Austrians received reinforcements.
1t is thought that Mazzeni will be proclaimed
Dictator of Rome. The Romans are said to pro.
pose to themselves the seige of Ferrara at Rome,
on the 10th ult. The Bishops of Cubic and
Orvieto, and the Archbishop, Cardinal de Ferino,
were arrested their offence is that of exciting
the people, through the press, to revolt, and ca
Illuminating the republic Orders were also given
on the 18th to arrest the Cardinal de Angels,
Archbishop of Ferino. 1t is thought that should

cilians Genoese, and in fact all the Italians, will
take part in the war.
No further battle has taken place on the banks
Of the Jheum, and Lord Cough has relapsed into
his previous inactivity. He seems to be adopting
the Fabian system of warfare until the division of
General Whish shall have joined him. Under all
the circumstances, considering tho nature of
the ground, and the difficulty the Sikhs must have
in maintaining their numerous troops in the field,
every day must improve the position Of the Bril-
fish commander. We have still the repetition of the
reports of the Aghans taking up the cause of Shere
Singh, but we cannot yet be convinced that Dost
Mohammed has espoused the cause Of the rebels
He seems more disposed to hover over the tanks
Of the contending parties, in order to avail himself
of circumstances, and regain the possession of
Peshawur. General Whish was advancing with
his forces towards the north. On the 2lst of ia
nuary they had crossed the Raree, and had reach
ed kumbeera, six marches from Jhung. Major
Lawrence had been permitted to join his family at
the Sukko court, where they confined. They
were treated with kindness. Sir Charles Napier
proceeds to India on the 24th instant.
Commercial affairs have not suffered in India so
much might have been expected. All is quiet
in China 1t is said the Chinese bankers are with
drawing their capital from Canton, anticipating
disturbances in April; and upon Chinese authority
we are informed that the Imperial Seu, Commits
soner, has held consultation with the elders and
gentry on the question Of opening the city to the
English He is reported to have told them that he
Is not in position TO resist by force of arms nor
is he disposed to incur the pecuniary and political
responsibility of coming to an open rupture with
the barbarians 20 that if they to be kept out
the gentry and people must themselves provide
the men and means.
