shows a decrease of bullion equal to two and a half

CduSeu 50 mucn depression as was anticipated. The
final quotations of the French three's on the Bourse on
10Th October, were 66f. SOC. for money, and eff 10c.
for the end of the month, showing a recovery of j per
cent.
ITALY.-The direct news from Naples on the 29th
september, lntlmates that the King is still determin-
eel to resist all demands and circumstances but some
OF the German papers report that he has been induced
to make certain concessions, and that De Martini, the
Austrian Ambassador at Naples, will, it is hoped,
complete what Baron de Hubner has commenced.
Martini Is the bearer of an a11fon1.an h 1affnr- fran
Francis Joseph to the King of Naples, in which he is
lmplOred, In the name of the relationship of the two
courts, not to draw down misfortune, not only on
Naples but on the whole of Italy. Meantime. Ferdi-
nand has sent, or is about to send, a very volumin-
Gus despatch to the European Powers, containing a
defence of himself and his government. The opinion,
however is becoming more general that the Neapoltan
question Will be settled without a, hostile demonstra-
ton, Notwithstanding that rumors to the contrary
continue to be perseyeringly circulated.
The FINANCIAL TIGHTNEss.-The most important
news relates to the stringency of the money market
IN France and England, the rise in the rate of and
the difficulty of procuring discounts, and the anticl-
pated crash among the operators in stocks at Paris,
ana the general spectators there. 1t appears that
the rumors OF the Bank of France suspending specie
payments have turned out unfounded. Meanwhile a
great drain is continuing upon the resources of that
establishment, which, has led to a large withdrawal OF
coin from the Bank of England. To stop the latter
drain, Give millions of dollars in one week orat
least make profit out of the operation, the Bank OF
England has suddenly raised its rate of discounts to
3 per cent. for short dated bills, (i. c. bills having
not more than sixty days to run) and Z per cent. Tor
longer dated bills.
