LIVF.nrOOL COTTON MARKET.
’ Liverpool, May 21.—The sales of Cotton
for-the week ending on Friday evening, the
,. 20th inst., amount to 38,000 bales.
All qualities of Cotton have declined during
’ the week The decline on some of the
1 inferior qualities is still greater,
i The sales on speculation have been very
, small, and the sales are generally confined to
the actual necessities of the trade.
CONSOLS.
Liverpool, May 21.—The English funds
. have again declined, under the effect of unfa
vorable advices from the Continent, and the
general distrust in regard to the war being
i confined to Italy.
A decline of j to J on the Asia’s quotations
7 is reported.

N. Liverpool, May 21.—The Liverpool Bread

THE WAR IN ITALY.
■ London May 21.—The latest advices from
Turin represent that no important movement
on the part of the contending armie3 had
taken place, except at Vercelli.
Gen. Gyulai, the Austrian Commander-in
Chief, has removed his headquarters to Gar
lasco, on the right bank of the Ticino, about
midway between Mortara, in Piedmont, and
Parvia, in Lombardy, a favorable defensive
position in front of the fortresses of Alessan
uria and Uasale.
The most important movement has taken
place at Vercelli. The Austrian troops which
occupied that place have withdrawn towards
Mortara, and the French and Sardinian troops
have advanced, and now occupy Vercelli with
a large force.
From the threatening position assumed by
the allied army and the proximity of the
contending forces, a great battle is momenta
rily expected, and an action may be expected
at any moment.
All the ports of Austria in the Adriatic
, have been blockaded by the French squadron.
v A large number of French men-of-vvar have
arrived in the Adriatic with troops, but no
attempt to laud has been reported.

MOVEMENTS of THE ARMIES IN ITALY. T
Liverpool, May 21.—Tt is reported from '
Turin, but not confirmed, lhat the Emperor of
Austria had left Vienna to join the army in
Italy, and had already arrived at Milan, and
left there for Pavia.
It is also reported that Field Marshal Hess j
was en route for Italy, and that his defensive
plan of operations had already been adopted
by the Emperor.
It was expected that the Austrian troops 1
would remain on the defensive until the Em- *■
peror Francis Joseph reached the camp.
The Liverpool Morning Post publishes what 3
it calls reliable information, to the effect that v
the passage of the Ticino by the French army v
will be the signal for an alliance of all the f
neutral European powers against France, ami *
that in such case, the Austrian and German c
troops on the Rhine are to march on Paris. 3
The Post affirms that such an understanding *■:
exists between the leading neutral powers, and ^
will be carried out. This statement, however, 3
lacks confirmation. 0
Ail the various channels in the Adriatic sea 0
leading to the Venetian capital have been 0
blocked up by obstructions placed across them 0
by the Austrians, to prevent the approach of 0
the French fleet.
ENGLAND. y
Complete returns of the Parliamentary elec- Q

LATEST FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. j,
Turin, May 16.—Yesterday several detach
ments of Austrian troops advanced to Capris
co, near Leongomond. driving off all the cat- l
tie in their reach, firing upon the peaceable
peasants, and committing other depredations.
Our troops awaited the evening at San Jer- tl
niano, expecting an attack from the Austrians,
but were disappointed, as the Austrians with- n
drew to Vercelli, after having robbed the p
country of everything useful to them. ti
The Austrians evacuated Vercelli this inorn- 0
ing, after blowing up two arches of the bridge ti
over the river Secia. |j
On the 17th, the Emperor Napoleon left
Alessandria, and went to Valencia, to review P
a portion of the vanguard of the allied army, Sl
and examine the course of the Po. o
The organization of the French army is p
rapidly progressing, and the damage done by p
the Austrian army in places which they have f(
occupied and abandoned is beingfapidly re- w
paired. a
The Emperor of Austria was daily expect- ti
ed at the Austrian head quarters to take com- „
mand of the army in person, and until his ar- n
rival no important movement on the part of f,
the Austrians was anticipated.
Up to the time of the retreat of the Aus
trian troops from Vercelli, Count Gyulai, u
their Commander-in-Chief, continued their
extortions of money and provisions from the i
Sardinian inhabitants, who were filled with
consternation, and terrified by their brutality,
and the approach of the allied troops was j
hailed by the oppressed people with the great- ?]
est demonstrations of joy. t,
An official Sardinian bulletin says that the
Austrians occupy the right bank of the river p
Po, as far as the castle San Giovanni, with a 0
force of about 12,000 troops, and are erecting „
fortifications at the bridge of Stella, to pro
tect their retreat, which is still continued at y
that point, and a general retrograde movement
seems to have taken place along the whole a
line of the Austrian army. n
LATEST FROM LONDON. b
London, Saturday noon, May 21.—The 3
Austrians, at latest advices, were continuing
their retreat, and the French and Sardinian r
troops were advancing and occupying the il
place evacuated by the Austrians. s
It is believed the Austrians will soon make h
a stand and give battle. a
The chartering of vessels to France for the n
conveyance of troops or war stores, was re
garded as illegal.
Additional Intelligence per Steamer
America.
New York, June 3.—It was reported that
Oori. Guylai had informed the An-trjan Gov
ernment that the provisions were beginning to
fail in Piedmont, and that he could not main
tain liis position more than fifteen days.
Four Russian Corps d’Armee have moved to
ward the Austrian frontier. A French fleet
was before Venice, and had already captured
,twenty vessels. Fifteen French men-of-war
were seen near Collaro, on the coast of Dal
matia. The channel to Venice is blockaded
by sunken vessels. Ships laden with stores
are ready to be sunk instantaneously so as to
close up the remaining passage. Guns of
heavy calibre Wert in a position to command
these obstructed channels. The French con
template blockading, not attacking Venice for
the present.
The Liverpool Post says Russia is about to
join Austria against France, in consideration
of the cession of Moldavia and Wallachia to
the former power by the latter.
Lord Malmesbury cautions English vessels
against carrying articles contraband of war
to either of the belligerents, stating that the
British Government will not inteiferein their
favor if they disobey.
The efforts rf Italian refugees to create a
revolution in Lombardy have been suppressed
by Swiss troops.
Twenty thousand landsmen have been en
rolled in the British navy.

Scarcely can we realize Henry’s death, who,

ul! vigor of youth and health. Early has the
lestroyer plucked him from earth.
“ Fond hearts were beating high ;
■’ond eyes were watching for the loved one
’ gone;
Uid gentle voices, deeming thou wert nigh,
Talked of thy glad return.
Gone in the flush of youth ;
lone ere thy heart had felt earth’s withering
care ;
Ire the stern world had soiled thy spirit’s
truth,
Or sown dark sorrow there. j
Fled like a dream away: *

Sighs round thy lonely' tomb.”
