JANUARY 13, 1848 Among the most reprehensible proceedings of the Radicals of Switzerland, the violation of the famous hospital of Mount St. Bernard will prove the one by which they have most materially weakened their cause and damaged their reputation. It will not merely intensify and concentrate the animosities of the Ultramontanists, it will associate with the triumph of the principles of Liberality the com mission of one of those cardinal crimes which cry out alike to heaven and to humanity for vengeance, The recollection of this atrocious act can never be obliterated. It must for ever and for ever excite the abhorrence of posterity. What, indeed, will the Helvetic historian have to narrate as among the more memorable consummations of the late victory ? He will have to describe that infamous decree of the 2d of . December, by which the Landsge meinde of the •. Valais deprived the monastery of its ecclesiastical patronage and inflicted upon its inmates a fine of 5,000/. or 80,000 Swiss francs. He will depict th e __ arrival of the two Federal Commissaries , pam! . and DELARAGSAE, on the 18th of December, to compil e an inventory of ,be furniture and property of the establishment, with s view to its final appropriation for the liquidation of its debts to the Supreme Government. lie will re zord the brutalities perpetrated under the surveillance of those officials, the bursting open of doors by crow bars, and the open in g of closets and strong.hoxe S by the instruments of the locksmith, the quartering of forty Vaudois soldiers as a garrison to the sacredl building, and the distribution of sentinels with loaded muskets at the windows, for the purpose of firing at whomsoever should endeavour to escape with the con secrated vessels, or with any other of the valuables of that sublime institution. Never were the sympathies of de - whole civilized world so wilfully and flagrantly • iolated ; never were the interests of society so mon strously abused for the sake of a contemptible reta liation, as in the infliction of these extreme penalties upon the heroic brethren of St. Bernard. By the inde cent rigour of the Confederation, ruin has been suddenly brought upon an association which, for nearly nine centuries, has existed among the alpine solitudes of the Valais, affording warmth and nonrisis . ment to the travellers from all nations, and shinsmt* forth to the whole of Christendom the Beacon of a divine and niversal charity. • There is something so 'remarkable, both in an historical sense, and as the close of an acted romance, in the infamous behaviour of the Valais towards this illustrious order of ecclesiastics, that we willingly give, in extenso, their emphatic and dignified protest against the violation of their renowned institution : "The undersigned, regular canons of the Hospice of St. Bernard, in chapter assembled, solemnly pro test, in the face of Europe, against the occupation of their monseterY by certain comoissario of the Go- s LOND ON, THOItSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, le4S.

People recognize in the inmates of this most celebrated monastery the representatives of that charity which is more peculiarly inculcated by Christianity. They see in men who devote them selves so entirely to the cause of benevolence, who debar themselves from the comforts of civilised life, who reside amidst perpetual snows, at an elevation of more than ten thousand feet above the level of the sea, and who submit to continual and indescribable privations for the purpose of affording gratuitous succour to their fellow-creatures, and of rescu ing from destruction travellers of every creed and race—they behold in the monks of the Hospice of Mount Saint Bernard the champions of the forsaken, and the lovers of that Divine command ment, .use ye one another ! Political intrigues have never been aided by this brotherhood ; proselytism is apart from their aspirations ; they have fought the good fight of humanity for 850 winters, and their efforts ought to have been regarded as a sufficient reason for their being considered as neutral. The memory of this infliction can never be effaced by the Landsgerneinde of the Valois ; all that they can ac complish towards reconciling themselves with the population of Europe is in some manner to make an adequate reparation to the monks by restorine , peace taa a J., 611 fq f 0 aau 1110111LALet y• • • It appears that the number of killed during the disturbances at Milan on the 3d was very great. The people fought hand to hand with the troops. The Podesta Casati has protested against the conduct of the soldiery, and two of the councillors of the Go vernment have resigned their offices. Tranquillity was restored on the sth, but the streets of Milan are covered with pieces of paper, on which are written, " Courage, brothers—a turbulent seal will be fatal to us. Take care not to be led away by the provoca tions of the police. Let us know how to restrain ourselves ; it is a proof of strength. For the present, tranquillity and dignity !" On the sth •f January the inhabitants of Milan came to a reEolution to taboo the lottery, as they have already done tobacco. Every person who purchases a lottery ticket will be treated as an outcast from society. The Risorgintento of Turin of the 7th publishes two documents from Milan, relating to the distur bances that took place there ; one from the Viceroy, dated the sth, recommending the people to await peaceably the reforms which, he confidently hopes, will be granted. The other, dated the 4th, is from the municipal congregation of Milan, and contains the same exhortations. Madrid papers of the 6th announce that Queen CHRISTINA held a grand levee on that day. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the impeach ment of SALAMANCA was continued, and Senor BR-. NAVIDES warmly defended the conduct of his late colleague the ex-Minister. The proceedings under the Special Commission at Limerick have been suspended for a short time ; they have not, however, been terminated, as the Learned Judges have announced their intention to resume their sittings on their return from Ennis, where the Commission was to have been opened yesterday. The results of the trials which have already taken place may he readily summed up. There have been three capital convictions, namely, WILLIAM RYAN (Puss), ANDREW Dz•a, and JOHN RENEITAN, all of whom were guilty of murders of the most aggravated description. In addition, there have been about twenty persons doomed to various terms of transportation, and the effect of the example has been greatly in creased by the immediate removal of the several convicts from the dock where they were sentenced to the vehicles by which they were to be transmitted to the depots for their reception. This prompt and speedy execution of the penalty will have the most beneficial results. Nearly an equal number of per sons (18) have been condemned to imprisonment with hard labour for long periods, varying from nine months to two years. The debate was brought to a close for the day by a very animated scene. In the course of the discus sion declared that SALAmANcA could Cut be considered free from suspicion until he should have undergone a solemn trial. This called up SALA MANCA, who declared the statement to be a calumny, and added, " I demand a solemn judgment, in order that I may go the gallows if I merit it, or that Senor PIDAL may be declared a calumniator !" On this a scene of indescribable confusion ensued, numbers of Deputies talking and gesticulating violently, and other shouting " Order order! Senor SALAMANCA was proceeding when he suddenly exclaimed, " I cannot continue, gentlemen !" and fell back on his seat. (He has for some time back, it should be ob served, been labouring under severe indisposition.) Senor SALAMANCA was borne from the Chamber in the arms of his friends, all of whom appeared greatly agitated, and many of whom cried, " It is an in famy! It is a calumny !" The Chamber deter mined that the debate should be adjourned till Friday. We have already alluded to the circumstances of the frightful crime committed by RYAN. It is said that this unhappy man, though young in years, has been deeply stained in guilt—that he has been guilty of no less than nine murders, and that had he even been acquitted in Limerick, he would have pleaded guilty in Clare, so that he could not, under any circumstances, have escaped the extreme penalty of the law. It is also said, that ever since the just judgment by which his hours have been numbered, he has expressed his regret at not having been enabled to evade his pur suers for even another week, in order that he might shed the blood of his employer, who had de frauded him of a portion of the promised wages of his dreadful crime. Those wbo are to suffer with him: are both very young men ; one, ANDREW DEA, barely nineteen years of age, and the other, Joan RENEHAN, but little more. The offence of the former was owing to the great fountain and origin of Irish crime—the possession of land. His father had been ejected from his holding for nonpayment of rent ; another party, named NOONAN, having taken the vacant premises, he was, in accordance with the provisions of the agrarian code, deemed worthy of death, and the sons of the ejected tenant, the unfortunate pri soner, and an elder brother, were selected to carry the sentence into execution. No time was lost, for in ten days after the intended victim had entered into the occupancy of the lands an attempt was made upon his life, at three o'clock in the afternoon of a bright summer's day ; and, although it failed as far as he was concerned, a person who happened to be in his company met his death from the assas sin's ball. We hare received the Paris papers of yesterday The Journal des Debuts says the KING has received from her Majesty Queen VICTORIA a most affec tionate letter of condolence on the death of Madame ADELAIDE. Her Majesty Queen VICTORIA has also written a letter of condolence to her uncle the King of the BELGIANS. The discussion on the Address was continued on Tuesday in the Chamber of Peers. Towards the con clusion it became very animated. M. GUIZOT, in repudiating the charges of corruption brought against his Ministry by the Marquis DE BOISSY, who alluded to the cases of M. WA/INERT and M. PETIT, declared that these corrupt practices had not originated with his Ministry. They had been tolerated by other Ministries—they had been tolerated by the present Ministry at its commencement—but they were so no longer. This declaration brought up Count MOLE, who declared that no impu tation eould be cast upon his Ministry on the score of corruption. M. BAETHE, M. PASSE, and Count D'ARGOUT—indeed every Member of any former Ministry who chanced to be in the Chamber equally repudiated the charges of M. GUIZOT. The fifth paragraph of the :Address was at last adopted. On the sixth paragraph being proposed, MM. TASCUEN and C. DUPIN proposed the following amendment, which was supported by the Count DE MONTALIDIIIIIRT " Christian nations contemplate with admiration the courageous initiative of the Holy Father, and the happy assistance given to him by the most enlightened Sovereigns, to open to the people of Italy a new era of civilisation, of wise liberty, and of collective power. Italian independence, necessary for the equilibrium of Europe, will rest on the success of that great ex periment, which is the subject of all our good wishes and our hopes." The third murder was, if possible, more incompre hensible than either of the others. A trifling dispute had occurred between the families of a small farmer named ld'EtilltY and of the prisoner, which had been investigated at petty sessions. On the following Sabbath night a numerous party attacked the house of the former, which, after a short resistance, they broke open, and, having first robbed the dwelling of a gun and some money, they dragged the unfortunate o wner from Ms hiding-Place, and brutally murdered h i m in his own yard, he having received two gun shot wounds, his skull having been fractured in ls that h ave b een twosupelhaceasr,e a the his back hesicle rokn. nin b gd e etai proved, on the clearest and most convincing testi mony, before the judges at Limerick, although there had been nothing relating to t he occu p atio n of land in RENEHAN'S case, an d it was but an act of vengeanc e... arising from a private dispute , it m a y be traced, and not very remotely, to the same cause.

AULAIRE, who warmly defended the policy of the Government. He was followed by M. GUIZOT, who protested against the remarks that had been made about holy alliances and armed intervention. He regarded those ideas as phantoms, which it was sought to assemble round the Cabinet, and congratu lated himself on living in a constitutional and free country. In this country, he said, as in every other, it was necessary to adopt a free policy, and to he at liberty to select those alliances which were most con formable to the interests of the nation.

The adVices received here from Italy are not satis factory, but the German papers, probably under orders, express the belief that Austria will not take any violent measures with Italy, and that the Cabinets of Berlin and St. James's have the best understanding, not only as to Swiss, but also upon general affairs.

(Taken from the Journal de r Ain, of Jan. 7, 1848.) It is announced that the entry of the Austrian troops into Modena and the Duchy of Parma has created a great degree of exasperation amongst the Italian populations. There have been some risings at Livourne and Florence, and the Government, not being sufficiently strong to constrain this movement, has been obliged to deliver up the arms which were in the arsenals. Serious events are, therefore, momentarily expected to take place in Italy, and attract the attentive consi deration of the great Powers, principally concerning the Duchy of Parma, which, by the death of Maria Louisa, puts forward all the rights of the family of Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, and Guastalla, of whom there exist descendants who have retired to England. The London papers, and amongst others The Sun, have already published from the Alba of Florence, the reclamations of Prince Alexander de Gonzaga Mantua, and have declared his rights to be well founded and acknowledged by the Duchy of Mantua, as possessions of his ancestors. According to the Italian journal, the restoration of this Prince, who served in the armies of the empire, and adheres frankly to the reforms inaugurated by Pius IX., would be a great blessing to the populations of Parma, Placentia, &c. They would then progress more wisely and more expeditiously towards the policy of Pius IX., which is the policy most suited to the Italian States, than towards that of Austria, whose weight is difficult to bear. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. limh 61141,44.0171. Z was produced here last evening, for the purpose of intro • ducing three new aspirants for the public favour, in the persons of Mrs. J. Lea, Mr. J. Lea, and Mr. Gregg. Mrs. J. Lea, who sustained the part of Linda, has been, we believe, for some time past, favouralby known to concert-goers as Miss Hobbs. Her voice is a pure soprano, rather thin in quality and somewhat deficient in power, but very flexible, cultivated up to the very highest pitch of ex cellence, and with an intonation absolutely faultless. She was last night evidently labouring under great nervousness, which somewhat marred her histrionic efforts, but never once did she sing I out of tune. Her figure is good though slight, and her features pretty and expressive. Mr. J. Lea possesses a good baritone voice, which has been well cultivated, and Mr. Gregg has a good bass voice, but was so nervous that he scarcely did himself justice. All the debutants are evidently unused to the stage, and would do well to take some lesions in acting. M. Santiago made his second appearance in the character of Carlo, and sang and acted with great tenderness and feeling. Weiss as the Marquis was very good, but the • great hit of the evening was the Pierotto of Miss Miran. Her fine, rich contralto tones told most effectively. • The house was very well and fashionably attended. - There were present his Highness the Conde de Montemolin, and the gentlemen of his suite, the Earl of Cardigan, the Viscount Clifden, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord and Lady Sandwich, Lady Suffield, Lady Charle mont and party, Lady Brougham, with Mr. R. and Mrs. Eden and party, Lady Tankerville, Lord Alex ander Gordon Lennox, Lord Henry Lennox, Miss Burdett Coutts and party, Sir John and Lady Har rington, Sir W. Ross, Sir Thomas. Home, Sir F. Thesiger, Sir Randulph Routh, Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay, Right Hon. Fox Maule, • PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The great test of a true dramatic artiste is Shak spere. Many an actor or actress who has acquired a fair portion of fame in the ordinary run of charac ters, fails in the attempt to embody the creations of Shakspere, whereas, on the contrary, the artist who can act Shakspere can act anything elsa.with ease and success. Mrs. Mowatt was lest tight' tried' by the Shaksperian test, and was not cOund ;wanting; she is an artiste there is no mistake about it. She has the ring of the genuine metal-, s -slie art pct Shakespere.t The play was Mmill Ado . abd'ut NotAivg, and Mrs. Mowatt sustained the part of BeatriCe. She looked charmingly, and thoroughly entered into the spirit of her part. Nothing could exceed the playful espiklerie with which she bantered Benedick, and the thorough gusto with which she gave the re partees; her ringing, tinkling, laugh, too, was fascinating exceedingly—it was the laugh of genuine enjoyment. In the more serious scenes, too, although perhaps she exhibited here and there a tendency to over-acting, which appears to be the great fault of the American school of tragedy, she was -very fine. " One touch of feeling makes the {whole world kin ;" and who that witnessed her indignant denunciations of the wrongers of Hero did not feel the truth of the line ? The forte of Mrs. Mowatt is evidently high comedy. Her Beatrice is a proof of it : her suc cess was complete. She was well supported by Mr. Davenport, whose Benedick, albeit perhaps scarcely sufficiently rollicking in the earlier scenes, was a well-studied gentlemanly line of acting. Compton's Dogberry was glorious, and Miss Susan Cushman's Hero very interesting. The house was very well attended. EXETER HALL• A selection from the works of Mendelssohn, con sisting of the 95th Psalm—the solo part sustained by Mr. Lockey, Miss Stewart, and Miss Gill ; Songs with out Words (accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. W. Sterndale Bennett), the4vocal portions of the singing by Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. H. Phillips ; and the First Walpurgis Night, for con tralto, tenor, and bass sell, and grand orchestra (sus tained by the same artists), was performed here last evening. At the conclusion of the Songs without Words, Mr. H. Phillips gave the grand scene " On Lena's gloomy heath," which was composed expressly for him, with immense power and energy. Never have we before seen Henry Phillips so great. The choruses were furnished by the pupils of Mr. Hullah's upper singing school. The manner in which they performed the exceedingly difficult music allotted to them reflects 'the greatest credit on the teaching of Mr. Hullah. A statue is about to be erected at Hull in honour of that upright patriot and able man, Andrew Marvel, who represented that town in Parliament during the reign el Charles IL NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses have transmitted to Lloyd's a statement of certain beacons erected, and buoys laid down, in Loch Ryan, Linn* Loch, and the Frith of Forth, but which is too long for insertion. It can, however, be seen on application to Lloyd's. _. MARKET NEW DAY.) NEVirGATE AND LEADENELAILZ. We had a steady demand for each kind of Meat to day, and prices were well supported.

IN RR MRS. CUMMING. Mr. COCKBURN moved for a rule to show cause why certain deeds in the hands of the Master should not be delivered up to Mrs. Cumming, whose case had been several times before the public in connexion with the case of Cumming v. Hicks. A commis sion of lunacy was issued against Mrs. Cumming, but after considerable proceedings had taken place an arrangement was corns to between Mrs. Cumming and those by whom it had been issued. After that arrangement certain deeds were handed over to Messrs. Hicks and Cooper. Subsequently Mrs. Cum ming became dissatisfied with the arrangement, having been advised that it was illegal, and the attorneys at her request furnished with a list of the deeds ; but two were omitted, which were subsequently handed over to the Master.—Rule granted. WATSON V. LORD CHARLEMONT, LORD CLAUDE HAMILTON, SIB, WILLIAM YOUNG, AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover from the defendants, the managing committee of the Newry, Enniskillen, and Armagh Railway, the amount of deposit paid by the plaintiff on several shares which had been allotted to him in the line. He contended that he had been induced to do so through a prospectus published in the newspapers, which was untrue, and that, there fore, having been induced to become a shareholder by statements inconsistent with truth, he was entitled to a return of the amount claimed. The jury gave him a verdict. Mr. CIIAMBERS, Q.C., now moved for a rule, calling upon the plaintiff to show why there should not be a new trial on the ground of the verdict being inconsistent with the facts, and on account of misdirection by the Learned Judge who tried the case. The Learned Counsel contended that the di rectors of a company being nominated by the share holders, and empowered by them to spend their money as they might deem advisable, a shareholder could not recover all he had paid unless it had been obtained from him through fraud, which he held was not so in this case. The misdirection consisted in the Learned Judge not laying down this as the law to the jury ; and the evidence, he contended further, did not prove that all the defendants had taken an active part in the undertaking. The COURT granted a rule •n the ground of alleged misdirection, but not with respect to the verdict being against evidence, the facts, they considered, having been proved.—Application granted. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE ZEE. This insolvent was described as of Child's-place, Temple Bar, gentleman, and to-day was appointed for the adjourned interim order. The case had been adjourned from time to time, partly in consequence of the illness of the insolvent, and partly to effect a composition. His debts were about 6,0001. Debts good and doubtful, 14601.; property, 1541. His liabilities were, principally, as alleged provisional committeeman of the Plymouth and North Corn wall Railgr.iy to the extent of 5,5001., and 5101. to Messrs. Lewis and Lowe, advertising agents, and a great portion of the remainder for shares in the Madrid and Valentia and Worcester, Tenham, and Ludlow Railway, and scrip in other companies. A further adjournment took place by consent. SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under3heriff BURCHELL.) SMITH AND ANOTHER V. ROSE. The plaintiff in this action is a cheesemonger ; the defendant is a major in the Royal Horse Guards. The action was brought to recover compensation for injuries sustained by plaintiff's wife in consequence of being thrown out of a gig by the negligence and improper conduct of the defendant. Mr. THOMAS stated the case, from which it ap peared that on the 29th of June last, plaintiff, who resides in Marchmont-street, Westminster, was pass ing over Vauxhall-bridge with his wife in a gig, when they were overtaken by defendant in another vehicle, driven at the rate of about twelve miles an hour in order to arrive at the South-Western Railway in time for the train. Just as they were passing the toll gate on the Surrey side a collision took place by which plaintiff and his wife were thrown out. An action had been brought to recover da mages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, bet the jury were directed by the Learned UndersherlV that they would not, under that action, take into consideration the injuries sustained by the wife. These, the Learned Counsel said, were of a much more serious character than those sustained by the plaintiff, and as the defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, he admitted his liability. Consi dering the nature of the injuries, Mr. Smith having been laid up for thirteen weeks, from a severe wound on the forehead, the loss of six teeth, a dislocation of both her wrists, and other injuries, he had no doubt the jury would give a verdict for the full amount claimed, 3001., without reference to the damages (801.) given on the former trial. Mr. EDWIN JAMES said he would take the evidence as to the accident as it stood on the sheriff's notes taken at the previous trial. Mr. THOMAS preferred having the evidence given, and the toll-collector was called, who proved the facts as stated as to the collision. Mr. Harrison, a surgeon, was called, and proved the nature of the injuries. He considered that she would never be in perfect health again. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant, and the jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for 301.
