Additional Foreign News

NEW YORK, March 5.

In reply to a question on Italian affairs Lord Palmerston said he believed that there was a strong desire that Rome be the capital of Italy, and that the Pope’s temporal power should cease.

In Canada the regiments are to be raised to the full strength of 1027 men.

Glass, Elliott & Co. in a letter to Cyrus W. Field, say that they would not be willing to manufacture and lay the Atlantic Telegraph Cable and assume the entire risk, as they believe it too great for one firm, but are so confident of satisfactory results that they are willing to contract for work and stake a large sum on its successful laying and working.  They state that they will make a definite offer in a few days.
