Keu.sn, had been tosst•acied from the archives of Lucetne, as it has bees foinid there. The following are some particulars re spect;ng this mysterious assassination: LUCERNE, DICEMDEft IS. The proceedings against the band of the notorious Wendel seem on the point of takin .1 a new turn, in consequence of most important inform .tion obtained by the Court of Knquiry. The daughttts of the Avoyer Keller, doing homage to truth, and breaking a silence whiels has long been imposed on them by fear, .have declared that they saw their father murdered in their presence, and have been only restrained by an oath extorted from them by the perpetrators from revealing the crime, which they were obliged to witness. The great number of accomplices, their rank in society, the fear that troubles the witnesses, the necessity under which the Judges have found themselves of requiring the intervention of the Confedera tion, and of removing the seat of the investigation to a Canton rovented by other laws, and to a fortified town, namely, to Zurich; in a word, everything unites to give an importance to these pro e,edings calculated to attract universal attention. It has been remark. ..1 that there never were at Lucerne such numerous and' splendid entertainments and diversions as at present; and this is ascribed by some persons to a wish to divert the attention of the 1 1 0)!iC as much as possible from this important trial, in which many di-tinguished persons may sootier or later be implicated.

Matt A CORRILSPONDVNT. The arrangements in contemplation respecting Brevet Field Of fleet% though not yet finally decided on, are supposed to be as follow :—Their Companies are to be immediately taken from them, and filled up from the Half-pay List and Lieutenants of 1809. They ate then to have the option of retiring on the half-pay of 'Re gimental Major, or remaining on the full pay which they at pre sent receive, doing duty as Supernumeraries, or Majors at accolut, until vacancies offer. In order to prevent an excess of Field Offi cers in any particular Corps, one only is to be retained in each, and the juniors are to be transferred to other Regiments. Thus every Battalion will have ten effective Captain% The Brevet Field Offi cers will be a great assistance, instead of (as they sometimes are in iarris..ns) a hurthen to their respective Corps, and it will get rid of that anomaly, not to be found in any other service, of a Captain occasionally commanding a Lieutenant-Colonel.

Tie Annu 41 • Meftinz of this Srciety w a s held last evening, in the Methodist Ch Tel, Great Queen-street. Joseph Butterworth, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. The ettatessaat,-.after the busidess of the Meeting had been opened by singing and prayer, ob erved, that it was unnecessary to go into a lengthened detail of the objects of this Society. He had heard with no incon siderable degre• of regret, that the affairs were this year in ales• flourishing state than they had been at the list, b:tt he trusted that this clecl , ne was to be attributed rather to uncontroulable events than to any relax of en: 4 eavout on the part of the collectors, or any dimi nution of feeli ,, g in the contributors; and he had no doubt, when the Christian world was made acquainted, as it speedily would be by the publication of varitius Misiionary works, how much good had been effected through the instrumentality of Missionary labours, and how much yet remaine i to be done, that the same feeling of philanthropy which had first founded this Institution would induce them to support it. He was glad to find that a p .werful effort was about to be made by this country for the emancipation of the slave— ( Hear, hear); and though he gloried in the prospect of his disenthralment from moral fetters, vet he conceived tha• the rill it gement of the mind was of surrey rot con. Aderation. Tins was the object of Missionary Associa• tions. Toe accounts frr. m South America, that inte re•ting portion of the world, recently received, tended to pr ,v , . the necessity of increased exertion. In all places where the Missionaries had go e, a mateti .1 moral and ..ocial change had been effected, a convincing ptoot of the'r uti ity ; and he felt satisfied that, however a tempora. y gloom might he errown over the hopes of the friends of civil a:rd religious freedom, it would speedily pass allay. The SECRETARY then read the Report, which, though it admitted a deficiency in the receipts of the last year', spoke in congratulatory terms on the general success which had attended 11IiAtinary la bours all over the world. Several Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, and after passing a series of Resolutions, the business was concluded with the same ceremonial of singing and prayer, and a handsome subscription was made in behalf of the funds. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. -.00- - JUDGMENT ON SIR JOUN MILES WINNINOTON. Toe above petitioner, who has been repeat-dly before the Court, was brought up to receive its judgment. Tire CHIEF Commtsstotien said, the only impression which he was awsre of was, that there was nothing in the oppu ition that affected the insolvent. 'The Learned Commissioner then tuck an extended view of the case, the leading points +f which we; e as follow : —About the year 1818 the insole. ut - disposed of a small ieeer sion to his molter for 2904 it being all the available property he had at that time, so far as the C. was aware cf. About this period .he went to Mr. Gass, a respectable jeweller, in Oxford•street, and represented Olathe was a twin of fortune, and further, that he had an expectancy of larye reversionary property contingent on the life of his mother, none of which representations had any foundation in truth. Ile stated, that he wanted articles of a description and value which could only be' wanted by persons of distinction, and in consequence of these representations, Mr. Gass was induced to give hinicredit (or 931. 13.. 661. of which had never been ; and. before the bill became due, all the troffer had bees,: drawn from the bankers, undthe in solvent liad left his residence—it was quite clear to him (the Chief Commissioner) that the insolvent had ob iiiineii,,ifeclit by false statements. With respect to Mr. 'S.irisirson, a wine-meichant, that creditor had, by means ,f false appearances and false statements, been induced to part with wine and spirits to a considerable aitiouo t t for which he never ob•ained payment. • endei- all the circumstances of the case, the Court vas clearly of opinion, that the insolvent had assumed a . false charicler, and c , •ntracted a debt by such, for which offe nces the judgment of the Court was, that the insolvent be remanded, at the suits of one or both of , these creditors, for the term isf eight calendar months, and that he be confined within the walls of the prison, inctittit within the rules or liberties thereof. THE SILK TRADE. Flt 111 THE MACCLIUPIELD COURIER. We have been favoured with a copy of Mr. Hos kisson's answer to the Memorial of the Operative Silk Weavers and Djers of this town. " Board of Trade, Dec. 24, 1825.

He very sincerely regrets, in common with myself, the depressed state of the manufacture of Mac clesfield, and the unfortunate failures which have lately occulted there; but, afrer the nit) 1 mature consid:ra tion which we can give to 'the subject of the Silk Trade, we do not feel ourselves justified in departing from the decision lately communicated by the Board of Trade, in answer to an appl.carton similar to the present from Macclesfield. • 6 * l'hat decision in substance was, that we could not consent to continue the prohibition of foreign wrought silks he) •nd the peolod now fixed by the Act of 1824. " If however any practicst ploimsal bhall be brought forward by the minitfActurers, which might appear to then calculated to tender the pto:ectioo %%hie) that law substitutes for prohibition; mote effectual, without the risk of throwing the trade into the hands of the smug gler, such .a 'flop:4111 will receive from us the most attentive consideilciim. •a As the Memoriali is 4 profess that they do not go into arguments upon the ques'ion,' it is only fu►ther necessary for me to siate, that, in the judgment of this Board, the present depiession of price, and stegna tion in the Silk Trade, Ate mainly to he ascribed to other causes than the passing rf the Act of the Session before ins , ; and among the,e causes', in no small degree, to the extravagant si ecolati !ns in the raw matet ial, and to the very miusual 'etc' duns nit& in many parts of Am kingdom, but more especially at Maccleifield, rapidly to increase the manufacturing establishments, and the number of hands engaged in them ; specula ;tons entered into, and exertions made, since the passing of the Law lOr the admission ot foreign wrought silks, ss hen this c'ts .ge must have been as much within :le kn:awledg►e and cons mplat.on of the patties as it is it this moment. 6 I bate the honour to be, Gentlemen, 6. very obedient humble Servant, 6• W.
