An long as the ireatios of 1815 shail not have been replaced dy nee operas long ee Austria sbeil retain an inch of nd in Italy, no can be sure of quiet, and tho future fate of Kurope will be equally threatened by peace and by war. It is therefore impossible but that this inter- Ratiopa! map, to use the words of Lord Palmerston, shail be radically changed; and the mind is lat in caleviatiag the niet which that change will exercise on the desti- nies of Europe. [From the Paris Pays, May 2) The honorable position taken by Piedmont does not be = tous to'be acouratély and justly appreciated. As redmont is the only Itatian State altogether free from Austrian domination or influence, che has naturally be- @ome the asylum of the sentiments and men that are truly Ttanan. The Emperor of Austria hae invaded Piedmoat, Decause his subjects, and even his soldiers, found # refage thero as well as his enemies. tittle calm reflection migbt have taught the young sovereign that it is not alto- gether the fault of King Victor Emanuel wf Austrian sub- jects and goldiers are not absolutely happy in their own conptry; and perhaps it is gowg ratuer too far to envy and forbid the bitter consolation of exile to men who re- Uinquisb their homes, their property and their fami, Good goverrment in Lowbardy would probab'y bave retained more of the fugitive Austrian subjects than the armies of the young Emperor will ever be able to recover. As for the agitators of 1848 who have flocked to Jurin, they’ may rely upon it that, if France supports their national hopes, she will repress with equal energy whatever revolutionary views they may still entertain. Providence seems w offer the Italian refugees an gimost miracu cus opportunity of redeeming them- seives from the disfavor attending their contact with demagogues, and the practice of conspiracy. To shed blood bravely for ne’s country is a eure means of elf us ing a muititude of fwults, Ag to the fate of the peaceable, Isborious and reagonable population of Italy, who form the true Italian nation—for zealots and the wrong-heated ‘area mipority in al! countries—it is evident that the ques- hon of their future is now about to be settled. Italy will bave the fate which her union end pradenco deserve. France may ascertain and defend the national senti ments of Italy, but she cannot create or impart them Bither there are in aly, as we believe the ements of a Teal nation, worthy of ts glorious past, capable of repeat- ing the great examples which she has already given to the world; or else there are only the elements of vain turbulence and sterile agitation. A few days will pow decide the question. If Italy still exists, sho will be saved. It is uppecessary to add that, so far as Imperial France is con- cerned, she cannot carry into Italy otber sentiments than thore which she cherishes at home, She goes with a desire to see order respected, the authority of the Holy Father extended and consolidated, all honest men reas- sured, and conspirators rendered few and powerless. ‘Such is her mission, no other. [From the Paris Sitcle, May 2.) ‘The war, which from the very outset appeared to us to be inevitable, and which was so in reality, commences under favorable auspices. Austria meets with sympathy only at Rome and tantinople, among the Ultramon- tanes and the followers of Mahomet. The Tory ministry, which was so anzious to lend her a helj , will soon Jall to the ground, amidst the hisses of free England, whose ‘intentions ¢ misrepresented. In France all parties are ‘uniting Loner: and agree in wishing for the success of the French arms. All the journals, wo matter of what shade of opinion, agree in expressiog such santiments. ‘Those various circum stances are certainly of good omen. THE ULTRAMONTANE VIEW OF THE CASE. [From the Paris Univers, (church organ) May 1.] ‘We aro still of exacttiy ame opiaion we were a ‘Week ago, before the French troops entered Piedmont, or ¥we mopths ago, when war appeared neither desirable nor provable, or even a year ago, when there seemed no jossibility that the peace of Europe could be disturhes, fo then wished tbat war migbt not be declared’ for a Jong time to come, and that when Fr<nce should draw the sword, it would be fSgainst another enemy. The church implores Heaven to send peace among Christian princes, and especially a Roman Catbolic princes. But at present war breaks out between the two Catholic nations—is about to overruy and ly Waste a Catholic land—its flames threaten to spread even to the Vatican, tho sacred abode of the Fatber of the Catholic family. For our parts, we know only two enemies to France—the two poiated out by mature—Fogland for the present, and ussia in the future. We believe that Russia menaces Latin cii with one of the mast memorable catas- arcphes that any civilization ever nad to undergo. Russia aspires to the empire of the world—to Constantinople and to Rome, and even now this dream of her old ambition can no longer be regarded with contempt by any serious mind. France has only one truly great part to play, that which prudence and history indicate. The Rovolution made her relinquish it fora while, but she has not re. nounced it, because she has always felt that she coald not 4o so without sinking in the scale of nations. France should be the heart andarmof Latin civilization—the shield that covers Rome, the hand that assisis, raises and upholds all Catholic nations. England and Russia clse the world against usand ogainst the gapl England now, Russia hereafter. The veesels of al! nations only traverse the globe with » passport signed by England ‘When Rogland Ro longer signa the passport, Russia will doso. Weshould have wished to sce France, 28 protectress of the great Eu- ropean families, give the world to them by upholdi everywhere the true religion. Such are our ideas an views, and hitherto nobody has persuaded us that it is ‘porsible to form any of a more patriotic, more French or more Christian character. MILITARY PREPARATIONS OF PRUSSIA. Berux, Monday, May 2, 1859. ‘In to-day’s sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Min- Seter of War made the following statement:— Goverrment on the 28th of March last explained the Point of view which persuaded them of the necessity of ordering three corps d’armée of the federal contingent to be placed on a war footing. Since that date political af- S airs have assumed such a form that government have deemed it heir duty to extend the same measures to the remiining siz corps d'armée, and the necestary instructions have been already sent to the different quarters. Although govern- ment have for the present communicate? this intelligence to the Chambers, they have reserved a more detailed gtatement of the ‘position of politica! affairs, wuich will, bowever, be made to the Houge with the shortest possible delsy. Tho Minister's speech was followed by the applause of the Chambers. PREPARATIONS IN BELGIUM. [From the Emancipation, of Brussels, of May 2.) {The War Department of Belgium has for several days past been dieplayiog extraordinary activity, aad has adopted measures that, at this moment, are significant. ‘At Aptwerp and in the ‘neighboring towns buildings are ‘being prepared for the reception of the depots of different regiments, and their reserve battalions. The reserve of ‘the 6th of the line bas been removed from Charieroi to Malines, aud the reserves of one or two regimenis are to de sent to Lierre. Arms and military equipments are forwarded almoat daily to Antwerp and the neighboring towns. THE GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN. ‘The Miuister of War of the Grand Duchy of Baden has iesued @ notice to the effect that young men of education may be admitted as officers in the army. The German Frankfort Journal adde that many stu- dents, several pupils of industrial schools, and a number of civil functionaries have a'ready applied in consequence. In the duchy of Nassau, according to the same authority, the appeal addressed by the government to the stadents and young civil functionaries has been very successful. The ‘men on farlongh (reserves not included) have re- eeived orders to join their regiments, and the brigade is rovisionally to be cantoped on the banks of the Maine. feawcrocs promotions have been eff-cted among the offi eers. The national Austrian air was played on the 25th at parade, ARMED NEUTRALITY OF SPAIN. SHE IS TO AFFORD SHELTER TO THE POPE. Maparp, May 1, 1859. The government has applied to the Cortes for authority to meroaze the army to 100,000 men, in order to protect the neutratity of the country during the war in Italy, The Madrid journals of the 28th ult. state that it was & ed that it bad been resolved to pass without delay ‘the Dill for the levy of 25,000 men, The Espana saya:— ‘Wo learn that the government has just received a telo- grapbic deepatch from our Ambassador at Rome express. tog the A gin that it is desirab'e to increase the gar- isons of the Balearic Islands by 10,000 men, in case the Pope, in the event of baving to abandon b's capital by the epread of the revolution in Itaty, should decide on estad- Vehing the seat of the Holy See in one of our Mediterra- mean islands. THE RUSSO-FRENCH ALLIANCE. NAPOLEON’S CHARACTER IN ST. PETERSBUAQ. It. Petersburg (April 22) correspondence of London Tolo- ray graph.) The St. Petersburg papers continue to hold up Louis Napoleon ag the beaw ideal of a ruler. Never was there Empcror more just than he, nor private individual more devoted to the teachings and dictates of morality or better falfiling the relations of life. Such is the opinion uni- verselly proclaimed by the journalists of holy Ruasia, touching the life and character of this paragon of purity. For the sake of completeness, they, of course, do not for- ee to mention tbat he is also powerful justnow Need ‘add that, adhering to the princip'es of right and justice exclusively, the Er France, they say, cannot but contribute to the furtherance of Russian aims and ends? After all, it ig scarcely @ morit of bis to act rightly, as the inspiration is of too exai‘ed a nature to bo suppored to pro- ceed from any other source than that of the tutelary saints ofthe “Orthodox Church.” To tell the truth, the lies and flatteries indulged in by the St, Petorsburg press con- erning the subject of Napoleon and France are such as to exerciae upon any honest Eoglish stomach no other effect then that of a violent emetic. I beg to inquire of the faculty whether such a strong medicine might not be in- Sroduced into the ‘ poe) sd 2? ia 1e Vedomoitee sper ano doubt fictitious conversa- Jeon, in the coarse of this veracious report, is represented to expreesbimpeif in the following termp on the sifuation:— Thave no ambition, nor am Teager for conquest.

NAVAL AND Or PREPARATIONS IN SNC 3 GLAND, [From the London Times, May 4.) The launch of the line-of: battle screw steamer Hood, ninety-one guns, will take place at Chatham dockyard this Afternoon at 1 o'clock. The dockyard gates will be thrown open to the public, who will be admitted at twelve o'clock ‘without tickets, Be bdemtnn m ACmTay order has beon received at Chatham Gockvard directing the following numbers of artificers and laborers to be immediately entered at that establish- ment, in addition to those previously hired, viz: 100 ship- wrights, fifty laborers, twenty. five smiths, sixteen joiners, twelve canikers, and five sawyers; seventy additios Jaborers are algo to be entered, to fill up vacancise on the eetablishment. Orders have also been given for the whole of the sawyers to work until seven o'clock in the eveping, and also during the dinner hour, in order to ex- pedite the ships now in course of buiiding, and thore nearly ready for launching. ‘We have authority for stating that the paragraph which bas appeared {u the public papers, to the effect that there are 700 vacancies for naval exdete in the royal navy, is incorrect. The Hannibal, 91, screw steamship. was yesterday taken into No. 7 dock at Portsmouth. Tne Fiying Fish, 6, Screw steam despatch vessel, was taken out of No. 2 dock at Portsmouth, and the Sprightiy, paddlewheel steamer, attersards taken in. Tho Vulcan, iron screw steam troopship, at Portsmouth, is ordered to be fitved out for immodiate service. The screw steam goardship Exmouth. 90, Capt. Robert 8. Robinson, was ungocked at Keyham on Monday. The gunboats Sheldrake and Lark were undocked at Devonport on Monday. The screw steam frigate Termagant, 25, arrived on Tues- day afteraoon at Portiand from Plymoath, and took up her old position in the harbor. The Litay, 61, and Blen- bem, are also at anchor. Since the proclamation of the Queen's regulations for admiesion into the service of the royal navy, the Fisgard's office, at Woolwich, bas been thronged with applicants of every grade. Large numbers have been accepted; but many, aithough apparently well conditioned avd anxious to serve, bave been rejected as not eligible. The mer- chant service, it is stated, is being deserted for the sate of pocketing the Queen’s bounty, and it is likely to suifer considerable inconvenience. The hired transport Pembrokeshire Lass is under or- dere to gail this morning from Woolwich, laden with war stores for Malta; but it is considered doubtful whether her bands will muster in sufficient numbers to take the vessel down the river, under existing circumstances, The Bedford militia, under the command of Col. Gilpin, have recruited to their full strength since the late yolun- teering, and are now in a high state of eficiency. On Monday, May 1, a telegraphic despatch was roceiv- eq in Sunderland by tho Secretary of the Shipwrights’ 8- clety from the Secretary to the Navy, stating that more sbipwrights and caulkers were required in severa! of tho royal dockyards. A great meny of the men have ex- preseed their readiness to follow the 400 bands who have already gone from tho yards on the Wear, and they will Jeave Sunderland to day, The despatch, however, stipu- Jates that they must undergo inspection by the dockyard surgeons. This draught will wholly clear out all the sur- plus labor that has been idling about the shipyards of the Woes fr skventuanat year past. THE EFFECT OF MR. DISRAELIS SPEECH IN COMMERCIAL CIRULES. [From the London Times (City Article) May 4 } The programme of the position and prospects of Eng- land submitted by Mr. Disraeli bas been received in the commercial world with the attention due to the predic- tions of a statesman distinguished for previous warnings to his country on the ruin to be brought about by free trade, open navigation, the currency laws of Sir Robert Peel and the recent hostilities in China, no less than for his hopeful assurances during the threatenings of the Rus- sien war, bis participation in the adjustment of tho late question between Portugal and France, his assertion a few weeke back that the Italian question was in prospect of adjustment, and the consequences already before our eyes of that pure faith which he sul preserves in has confilential relations with the Emperor Napoleon. It has not had much effect upon prices; but perhaps there has been acercely time. There are a large number of old fashion- ed investors who find it difficult to read and weigh four or five columns of close type in a single morning, and it may therefore prove gerviceabie to give these persons a concise and literal summary of the views unfolded, Both for immediate guidance and future reference such résumé will be likely to have value. “I am now,” says Mr. Disracli, “to be understood as speaking solemnly and without the slightest reserve. The peerage th Ital- jan dispute found us on terms of cordia! confidence with France, The mission of Lord Cowley was eminently— po, not eminently, but entirely successful, Emperor Napoleon, I believe, wae sincerely anx- ious for peace. Austria made all the concessions that were desired. Ruseia however, interfered with the propesition of a Congress, In doing so, baliove me, she was not prompted by any deep policy or spirit of finesse. France se.zed on this proposition without waiting to hear the anawer obtained from Austria by Lord rey: But this was merely because she felt sure that that . _ sion would bo unsuccessful. The fact is, the Emperor of the French wanted peace with honor—that is to say, by a ciplomatic triumph which would prove his influence over Europe, It was impossible for me to make these impor- tant revelations a few days ago, because the country was excited by the fabrication of enormous falsehoods, to ‘the effect that_a secret treaty had been formed between France and Russia, and tbat thoir fleets were to be united. There is not the slightest tittle of founda- tion for thoze statements. There is no treaty, secret or otherwise, existing between France and Russia. There is po eecret convention. There is what may be called an engagement which they were not bound inany way tocom- Tmunicate to this country’'—France owes no duties to her ally—‘but which was voluntarily communigated by tho French Minister, and was simply that Russia should put an army of observation on the German frontier. More- over, we bave actually asked the Russian government— ‘| power that bes yf acts with frankness and straigbt- forwardnese—whether she hag engaged with France to declare war against Germany, and she has told ue most unequivovally that it is not so. So much, then, for the secret en ements, _himical to England. one great ers charges plotting against us - tively declare that they have no covert purposes. Under such circumstances who could refuso to be satisied? But although it is thus easy to see the sincere good faith of forcign potentates, no such charitable con- structions can be put upon English — The malig- nant astertions against the Re eee led intentiona of France and Ruesia, which ruined many virtuous families in this country, besides shaking the crodit of every nation’’—tinus untowardly preventing Russia from getting £12,000,000 of our money—‘were nothing but a base contrivance to thn rd against foreign nations or to destroy the Derby net, or to accomplish a stock jobbing munwuvre.

This sketch, which does not quote a single phrase that Was not expreseed, or pervert a single meaning, should svilice if the Derby Cabinet have the contdeoce of Eog- land and Europe to repair all the mischief of tho past fort night. If the funds declined, and families were ruined, if continental credit was shaken, and terror seized the minda of all men on the false announcement of danger, why should there not be a complete reaction on the formal notification of the Eoglish Chancellor of tho Exchequer, made “as if he were addressing Parliament’? that the panic ig without a titie pf a foundation? Why ts there not an instant rebound all Ue more uncontrollable frem the viclence of the fall? What more ean be wanting? The public can look to the character of Mr. D’gvaeli, and Mr. Disraeu answers for the character of the Emperor of tho French. Perhaps they would like information to explain the discrepancies between the views of Mr. Disraell and thove expressed by Lord Derby just before the dissolution of Parliament; also the pre ulars of the wrellen en gagement admitted ty Prince Gortechakof!, together with the mode of logic by which Mr. Disraeli, like the witness who came forward to exonerate his friend from murder, by swearicg that he did not seo bim doit, is able without regervo of any kind to depy on hie own responsibility tha neither that secret agreement nor any otber contains any- thing which au Englishman could 00k upon as hostile to Exgiand. They may algo asis to what extent Mr. Disraeli contemplates ‘being the spectator or instrument o simple diplomatic trivumpbs on the part of France to rove her influence in Evrope (the Portugues? case not aving yet been sufficieut), and also whuther he is quite sure that if there is nothing to be appreheniled from Prance and Russia the public will tolerate @ promenale of our troops in Germany or a series of naval evolutions in the Adriatic, in order that we may step in “at the right ocea- sion’’ to gietate the settlement cf a quarrel in which we avow we have no concern. But if he had stopped to re- cencile all these points his speech would have oscupied ten columns instead of five. We must therefore not de- mand too much. He has given us geueral indications. Let all families wiebing to indulge in speculation, atvend to what be says now in the same way as some attended to what he said a short time back when he declared there would be po war, and at the end of twelve months they will bave gained either great fortunes or an ainount of ex- perience which will be useful to them for life. COMMERCIAL EFFECTS OF THE WAR. {From the London Chronicle (City Article), May 4 } Mezers, Trueman and Rouse, in their circular, state (nat the exireme uncertainty, distrust and anxiety which have pervaded the publ’c mind during the paat ten days have to a great extent paralyged the trade in all articles, except those likely to be immediately improved in value by war, uch as saltpetre, corn, rice, seods, tallow, &:., all of which bave been largely dealt in, and Lave experienced a decided advance, The holders of Fons oo cotten and cofiee gchorally show great firmness calmly awaic the course of events; the stocks are all vary matarete ond bence there apptirs to be no reason for forcing these 0038 upon reluctant buyers. The position of sugar, 48 regards statistics, remains without any mate- riel alteration, except that the imports have rather increaged, havin, been 32,900 tons sgainet 25.800 in March. The deliveries for home comsumption from the five _ prineipal ports of Great Britain have fully averaged those of the first three months, being 31,600 tons, and have just kept pace with the supply ; the stock, therefore, remains nearly the same ag on the ist ult. The conenmption of raw sugar io the United Kingdom in the three monthe ending ch OL, was, according to the Board of Trade tables just issued, 103,770 tons againet 107,810 last year. Jp the commercial circular of Messrs, Seymour, Pea- cock & Co, it is very truly observed that at present opinions must be based uyon the limitation of war to the Fowers already engaged in it, viz:—Austria, Sardinia and France; and if it be covfined to these nations, England obgerving a strict neutrality, we do not anticipate any extraordinary demand for tonnage in transport services, A demand for tonnage will arise in tbe event of any extensive supply of coal or other necessaries being drawn from this country, but this may be seriously interrupted at any time by probibitory regulations being imposed by our government, copeequent upon a strict neutrality. The effect of a Ka- ropeap war upon the produce markets will exercize the most beueficial effect upon shipping, by stimulating the coneumption of rice and cereals of all kinds, saltpetre, and other produce, which must create a demand for shi ping homewards from the East Indies, and by the rapid ubsorption of tonnage give firmness to freighta through- out the world. The bounty offered by the government to seamen entering the navy will raise the rato of wages in the mercantile marine, and with the advance in provi- sions, increased insurance, consequent upon the war risk, and other enhanced working expenses, a considerable ad- dition to the freights now current must be submitted to. Foreign competition will, to some extent, be diminished by the neglect of French, Austrian, and Sardinian vessels, which have bitherto been important rivals, more especi- ally in the Mediterrancan, Brazil and West India trades. HOW ENGLAND MAY BE _INVEIGLED INTO THE WAR. [From the London Law Times, April 30.) Tho laws that regulate the conduct of neutrals towards belligerents are extremely complicated, especially in re- lation to the carriage of war material.’ It is moro than likely that, some day, in the Mediterranean, one of our ebips will be boarded by a ship of one of the ‘belligerents, on charge of having arms, ammunition, or war stores for the uge of the enemy. The suspicion may prove to be unfounded, but it will eufflce to set us in Hames, Forth. with the ministry of the hour will be charged by the op- position with neglecting the hovor of the country if they do not resent the insult, Oppositions never care for con- sequences; they would plunge into war, or anything else, if thereby they could eject the ‘party ‘holding offlde and put themselves in their places, A year will not elapse without seme such misadventure giving occasion for @ quar- rel and plunging us into the struggle. The Wreck of the Pomona. NAMES OF SOME OF THE PASSENGERS LOST. A Wexford correspondent of the Dublin Freeman’s Jour- nal saye:— The cabin passengers of the Pouoma consisted of Mra. Paxton, a retired oflicer’s widow, and her children, Tho- mas, aged 12; Harriet, 10, and Lizzie, 8. Of the 893 steerage passengers, the were only 38 English acd Scotch, and the remainder, 348 souls, wore Irish, and chiefly farmers, laborers and their families, One Irish laborer, named Alfred Patmor, returned home after engaging bis peseage, and another, a mechanic, named Pat Cleary, was not ready. It may relieve the minds of the fens of the following, who had engaged passages in the Ponoma, to know that they were transferred to the Belfs Word :— Tereea O'Neill, Thomas Laswell, Michael Scott, Margaret Casey, Catherine Looney, Oxtharine Norman, Catherine Neleon, Bridget Divine, George Heyn, Robert Mullins, Catherine They are all natives of Ireland. ‘The government emigration officer who cloared the ship at Liverpool, Lieutenant W.

[Part pnts) srespontieace of cata Paris (Apri correspondence eo lon Chronicle. } Among the many noticeable works of art now on exhi- bition at the Palais de l'Industrie may be classed the paintings of E. H. May and P. F, Rotherme!, both Amori- cans, The former has been for a long time a resident of Paris, and 1s a pupil of the celebrated Conture, aud, as ia said generally, big best one. Mr. May’s works are fa- miliar to the London public, as he has occasionally sent his paintings to your exhibitions, and they always re- maiped in your city, being at once purchased. But to re- turn to the present exhibition, in which four of his works figure. The most important of these for coloring and com- | ong is his ‘‘Francis the Firat Lamenting the Doath of is Son.” (‘TU tomba d ginouz, e levant les yous aus ciel il pria pour ce fils, pour lus mémeme, et pour son peuple.” — Anguetil ) The artist has grouped bis figurea with taste and skill, Prominent upon the canvass we have the king on bis knees.

The artist shows os tho Doge expiring in the arms of his daughter. He has (allen back agaivat the marble balustrade, and ihe icy gray of death is stealing Over his countenance. Searcely leas pale, the dangbter supports the drooping head of the dying Doge. Standing a few steps above these two we see grouped those who bad hated end feared the man when his power ‘was obnoxious to them, and now they triamph in bia last hour, One man has a most revolting expression of axtia faction, 08 he sees his enemy gasping for breath. ear him stands a woman attired in the rich garb of wealth : she also bated the dying man, and she looks at him and his poor daughter with an expression of disdain and sats fied revenge. The woman is gloriously beautiful; ber fair Dlonde hair floats over a bright and glowing countenauce, which but renders the deathly pallor of the Doge the more remarkable. And thus oa, up the great stairs, the artist hes with rare skill and discrimina tion grouped the diferent persons, all enemies o the Foscari. In one instance we see @ senator and hisson.

Mr. Rothermel was obliged to send the painting tothe exhibition b quite finiabed. He bad just arrived in Pa: had a few weeks to fiaish a painting whi jal pencil. The next work sent by Mr. Rothermel js arketch for a paivting of St. Agnes, but although merely intended asa sketch, the jury bave admitted it asa foshed painting.

The Late Madame Boslo. From the Journat de St. Petersburg and other au:hontic gources we collect the following parti re relating to the ilpess aad death of Madame Bosio:— After a sbort absence from St. Petershurs she returned to the Russian capital on Sunday, the 20th of March. Oo that day Madame Bosio and,her husband, M. de Xindowa- loins, dined with the Duke de Ursuna, tae Ambassasor from Spain at the Court of st. Petersburg. Duriog dianer ebe was in good spirits, and conversed wish her usaal ani- mation and fluency. After ber return howe in the eve- omen “shew ning several friends called to D12 ner 1arewen womne woe departure for Paris, which was fixed for the folio. bie day. About 10 o’clock she complained of chilliness, desired to baveashawi. In an hour aft*rwards sho be- came 80 very ill that she was obliged to retire to bed, fiom which ehe never again roge. An unfortunate fatality geemed to hang over her. Dr. Foss, the physician who had becn accustomed tq attend her, fell I) after be had made his first visit to her, but he deputed a ekilful medical friend to attend to his patient. This gentleman was a military doctor, and Madame Bosio was startled on seeipg his uniform. She appeared to doubt bis capacity, and would not suffer him to prescribe tor her. Anotber doctor was then sent for, and it would seem that he formed some strange misconception respscting ber ma- lady. He treated her for a bilious attack, while in reality ehe was’uffering from pulmonary inflammation. The con- sequence was that the digorder made rapid progress, and after the lapee of a week the case became a0 alarming that three other medical men, MM. Kare!, Eck and Kanz- ler were summoned. They found the patient in a conii- tion which admitted of little hope. However, all the re- fourees of medical ekil! were brought into requisition, and Madame Bosio’s numerous friends out of Rassia may de- rive some consolation from the assurance that no remed, which medical skill and the kindest solicitute could sug- geet was left untried. The three physicians above named are tbe most eminent in Russia. M. Kare! visited Madame Bosio tive or six times every day, and his colleagues were alzo in frequent attendance on her. Her own doctor. M. Fore, as scon he was sufficiently recovered to get ont, hurried tozce his patient, but eho was then beyond the reach of human aid, and she gradually sank. ‘The St. Petersburg Papers ‘of the i7th ult. contain ac- counts of the funeral honors paid on the interment of Ma- dame Bosio, whose untimely death is looked upon by the élite of socisty in that city aimost as a public calamity, so much had her graceftl talents end hor amiable character ingratiated themeelves with all classes. The church was crowded to excets, the attendance comprising personages of the higheet distinction; foreign ambassadors, ministers and the nobility esgeriy pressing forward to join in the last testimonials of respect to one #9 fondly aud generally esteemed. At the tomb a warm snd touching tribute was paid by the crowd, for the feeling resembled much more sorrow for a friend than for a public favorite. Markets. THE LONDON MONBY MARKET. [From the London Times (City Article), May 4.) The improvement in the Eogiish funds this morning, consequent upon the assurances of Mr. Disraeli with re- gard to hia entire confidence in France and Ruasia, and the absence of any secret agreement between them, was less than a half per cest, and the market at the cloee was again heavy. Consols were first quoted 903, and, after ranging between 90 and 91, they left off at 99%'a 3;° The email investments of the public are extremoiy numerous, snd the consequent scarcity of stock is such that the price at one time was higher for money than for the account. Bank and India stocks left off at 215 a 220; reduced and new three per cents, 8914 a 34; India bonds, 203, a 10a. discount; and Exchequer billf, 183. a 25s. premium. The new India loan has recovered to 4 a 3 discount. ‘The demand for discount at the bank to day was un- utually beayy, aud a further advance in the rat2 on Thurs- day next is considered not improbable. The Bank of France bas raised its rate of digcount from three per cent, at whicn it had stood since the 23d of Sep- tember jast, to four per cent. The Bank of Frankfort has raised its rate from 5 per cent to 444 rer cent. There bas been no general change in foreign stocks, but in some cases there was a tendency to recovery. Austrian live per cents, not payable in London, were ne- gotiated at 363, ex dividend, showing a fresh decline; Chilean eix per cents, 95; Mexican, 1744 a 17; Peruvian four and a half per cent, Uribarren bonds, 75; Russian tour and a half per cents, 98. 94; Sardiniaa for the ac- count, 69!{, 6807; Venezuela deferred two per cents, 1434. french rontes opened this mornag at G0f. 80c., and de- clined to €0f. 65c.—a fall of a quarter per cent since yes- terday. The closing prices failed to arrive. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon there was a de- cline in the rates on Amsterdam, Frankfort and Ham- burg. The quotations for Vienna and Trieste were almoet |, and operations could only have been eflected on very disadvantageous terms, About £28,000 in bar gold was taken from the bank to- day for the Contineat. All tne Australian and other supplieg, as fast as they reach Loudon, are also bought for exportation. The advices from Paris state that dw the past week sevaral forsign banking houses have failed. The Credit Mobilier, a) their meeting on Saturday, decided on making no further distribution for the year 1858. The total pro- fits during that period bave been about £480,000, of which £120,.C0 was divided at £1 share in January last.

EXTENSIVE BANKRUPICY AT VIENNA. The London Times saya the Austrian banking firm just failed at Vienna was extensivery large. Their Liabilities are reported at two miiliong of pounde sterling, but the sum is mere conjecture. FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN LONDON. Congois were quoted at the Bank at 0044 for money and acccunt, and the new Three per c*nts at 894; a 89%{. at 2:15 P. M. Conaols were at 9014 a 903, for money and 9034 for account and the new Threcs at 89 The latest quo- ta‘ion was 9034 for Console for money and sccount, and 8934 for the new Three p2r cents. The city article of the London Tims, dated evening of the Sth inatant, says:—TPhie bas been settling day in the English funds, and on the whole passed off well. No failures were declared, and delays have been granted in all casesof doubt to the end of the week, The Bank of England will now make advances to their cuatomers on six months bills, at 53 per cent. Ths demand for discount at the advance rate was very active, both in the bank and the open market. ‘The joint stock banks have raised their allowance onde- posits One per cont, tne mice SOT ROW 874 Per cent. The raiging of the rate of di:count to 444 per cont is the result merely of the movement of the publix. There is really no very exceasive pressure for iramediate wants on the part of the mercantile body, bat the enormous out- Jay consequent on the general arming of Europe absorbs specie. These causes created an increase in the value ot capital during the two months preceding the declaration of war againat Russia, and the Bank lost about one mil- lion six hundred thousand pounds of bullion. The suc- ceeding two mont loet an additional two millions one hundred thousand pounds, and from that day until nearly the end of the contest there was no serious reduction. The London Daily » " city article of the evening of the 5th inst., says:—The alteration at the bank had no effect on the funds, which opened at the quotations current at four o’clock yesterday, and remaived at that rate until about one hour after the annoancement. There were sub- sequently some flactuations, but the closing prices were 3g per cent better than yesterday. The rise in the rate of discount causes sales of Engtish railway and other stocks hitherto held in borrowed mo- ney. It thus happened that conzols have improved. Se- veral other classes of securities have again given way. The gold withdrawn from the bank to-day for exportation was £64,000. £47,000 in American gold was also par. chased for the Continent. EFFECT OF THE WAR IN RUSSIA. Tho markets for Rugsian produce remained flat.

Tar Fisnery Comugsion.—Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Maine, the new American Commissioner under the Reci- Pprocity treaty, was sworn into office last week at Boston, before Mr. Sydney Webster. On Monday, Governor Hub- bard left for St, Johns, with his colleagee, M. H. Perley, Esq., the English Commissioner, and about the 28th they will start from there for Pictou and Cape Breton, where they expect to spend the months of June and July. They have engaged four Miramichi Micmacs, with three canoes, ‘and aro to get two other Micmacs at Cape Broton, as guides and pilots. The whole interior of Cape Breton is s largo salt lake (the Bras d’or), with not less than 400 miles of coast. The Commissioners expect to get through Cape Breton, Prince Edward’s Island and Gaspé this summer, but it is doubtfel whether they can accomplish it in the time pre For the autumn it is to take the rivers from the Hudgon to James river in Virginia, both inclusive, and the work of the season will probably be finished at Philadelphia by the middle of November. Cavont ry Tair Own Trar.—The tories of Prince Ed- ward’s Island have got themselves into a most ridiculous position. They have contended for years that no member of the Assembly or of the government should hold office under the Crown. When they were called upon to form a government lately, they laid down this principle, never dreaming for a moment that Sir Dominick Daly would consent to thus throwing overboard the department sys- tem, or that he would refrain from forcing them to take the offices. But he did so; told them to take their own course; and now there are seven Executive Counciliors on the floor ot the House, (composed of thirty members | only,) notone of them ‘ing office or receiving pay. ‘What the party deemed yery fine in theory, they fla most disagreeable iu practice, and now each member of the (tig is anxious to resign.

Important Communication from’ the New York Assoctation of Italians, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Permit us to rectify certain errora in your remarks om the opipions and the Italian republican party, In your articles Italians in New York, in the Heraxp of the 12th and 17th inst., you say ‘that the ro- publicans, who form the majority in this city, look upon: Louis Napoleon as the last man to liberate Italy; that they prefer Austria to Sardinia; that their nim is to found » red republic; that they seek means to destroy the present movement in the peniusula, and that they hold meetings for this object.”” It ig true that the republicans distrust Louis Napoleon. If he, after suffocating the Freneh republic in bioad, be ita first magistrate; if he, after restoring the Pope, whom he still maintains on the throne by the aid of French bayonets, should suddenly become the liberator of Italy, history, reason aud common sense are at once auiolished. His own proclamation, pvblished in your coluimas to- day, cou‘rms our convictions. Io it he makes the contra dictory assertions that he desires the independence of Italy, apd also the non-disturbance of the power of the Pope, who, it has been fomnd, capnot retaim his thrane seupported by foreign bayonets, which ia them- are the negative of national mdependsace: that the object of the war “restore Itaty to herself, impoge on her a change of masters, and at he exclaims, “We enter thig clareic ground, lustrious by so many victories, to seek the foo's Our fathers”—i. ¢., of Brenus, the invader of Romo; of Charles VIL, the invaler of Italy; of Napoleoa I., who sold Venice to the Aus’ as, who made Piedmoat and Rome French departmente, who catablished a a Coa tulate at Naples, and plundered Italy of her cha/d’auvres of art. The Arch Duke John also promised, at the head of an Austiimermy, liberty aad independence wo Italy during te reign of the first Napoleon; that liberty and independence are to day in the keepiog of the Field Marshall Gyulai. The history of Louis Bonaparte is the history of despotizm and falsehood. While bis tips proclaimed that the Empire is Peace, he orguizad the Russian war. For all the e reasons, the repablizans de- plore hie intervention in the national Italian qaegtion, ana foresee with bitter avguish that Italy will shed her blood and merely obtain a change of masters ag the result. But the assertion that tho republicans prefer Auateia to Piedmont is utterly falee. Convinced that the nations] independence, unity, and liberty of Italy are the ques- ions of vital importance, their political ideal is for them a secondary matter; they bave ever opsnly de- clared themeelves ready to follow the King of Piedmont to the battle fleld if he would himself head this wock of regeneration, In none of their ineurrectionary more- ments have they ever unfurled the republicen tg: their martyrs have ascended the apaifeld, mot to the ory of Vive la Republica, but of Vive la Malia, and their mar- tyrdom, 20 heroically eupportes, oir incessant atruggie during the last ten years, when ail other partics atood silent end inert, have proved to the world that foreign domination in Italy is henseforth impossible—tha: it ie in- compatible with the peace of Europe—that the republi- cans furnished Count Cavour with the opportunity and the proofs wherewith to make these facts manifest at the Parie Conference—they have kep! agitation alive through- out the peninsula—and upon that geet which had become universal, Louis Napoleon had pounced, ta order to contamivate it, to turn it from its natural resulte, and to utilize it for bis own ambitioyg schem: On the first sf March, this year, the regublisacs, pro- testing sgainet the alliance between the King of Pixdmont and Bonaparte, asserted that, touchicg the Piedmontese monarchy, the question to day 12 not @question of mo- nareby or of republic, but of untty and national sovereign: ty; that, reserving the right to vote and of peacefu: pro- paganda, they are rcady to-day, as they have ever becn, to eacrifice the immediate triumph of intividus! faith to the opinion and welfare of the majority; thet they will follow the Piedmouvese monarchy iato the deli, and cen- centrate ail their forces to aid the success of the war, if it should tend explicitly to nationa! Italian unity. Thus it is evident that neither a tboaght nor an effurt for a red republic (a name unknown in rat has ever entered into the beads of the republicans of Italy. For them republic means pational sovereignty. Now, since war bas commenced, the republicans, con- fiding in the noble instincts of the nation, wait anx! for the moment when the Franco-Sardo question ehall give Place to a question gered Italien, in order to share with their countrymen perile and the honors of tho Italian battles. Tnose who remember that the republicans were the first to unsheathe the sword against the Austrians in °48, aud the last to replace tha: sword in its scabbard; that they alone have remained on the beach during these las: ten years, will not accuse us of vain boasting. Thus the idea tha! the republicans are piapning a move- ent in opposition to thatof the nation fails at once to the round. . m= Touching those resident in the United States, they are gathered into political associations In New York, Wash- iwgtu, Baltimore, Ricbmoad and Bostoa, and to whicd as- gociations bo person is admitted whose personal char- ter is not known.
