Reclamation of the Roman CAM
Pngna.

Pngna.
The first decree signed by King Victor En-
manuel after the occupation OF Rome was one
appointing 8 commission to study the best
masne Of improving the Agro Romano. The
commission worked hard for two years, and has
lust ended its labors. It would be impossible
for me to give an idea of the opposition encoun-
tered by the commission, and the opposition
manifested even among the members them
selves: The Agro Romano, as had occasion
few Princes and religions corporations. Enor~
NOUS districts are perfectly uninhabited, and
peasants from the AbruZzi come only during a

districts belonging to . the religious

tors. This plan encountered the most powerful
opposition among the Mercanti di Campaigns, or
large hay farmers, who have always made their
fortunes out Of the misery Of the actual state Of
the campagna. Indeed the wealthiest had al
ready made a sort OF arrangement among them
selves, and proposed to purchase all the eccles-
iastical property, in order to apply to that por-
ton their system. Of cultivation. Instead Of
having some forty proprietors, the land would
belong to some twenty only. who had all the in
terest to continue their old system. Besides
this, it was vital question, not without some
political Importance, to form around the Capital
q rural population which, as is the case with
Florence, might balance the power Of the urban
population Of the Capital. It is now the study
Of the Government to lose no time in drawing
up bill based on the resolutions Of the COM
mission. The Government will, no doubt, find
itself opposed by powerful local Influences.
Princes and Mercanti di Campagna may, if they
choose; declare that il the Government oppose
their interests they will 'go over" to the Pope.

SATURDAY EVENING, Nov. Q.
The change in the tone Of the local money
market since this day last week is slight, what
there has been is in favor of an easier condl-
ton, though the banks disagree in their reports
On this point, and some of them say they arc
just IS short of 1oanable funds Us they we're
week ago. The effect of the hindrance
to trade from the horse-disease is perceptib1e
in the business Of the banks. Instances are
cited by bankers in Which their customers have
had to borrow, and others in which they have
been unable to meet maturing obligations, be-
cause they could not deliver goods. The condi-
zion of the open market does not quite tally with
the report Of the banks: We find there is less
commercial paper offering in the street. than d
week or ten days ago, and rates Of interest are
the ruling rate now, against 2 per cent then.
The receipts of currency from the country
have diminished some during the week, and, on
the other hand, some considerable amounts are
being sent out.
