Lord BROUGHAM then moved for certain returns connected with railways, and animadverted in strong terms on the mania at present existing for railway speculations. If all the railways proposed were car ried out, 130 millions of capital would be withdrawn from circulation in the course of the next three years, and a dreadful commercial crisis would be the conse quences. After a few words from the Earl of DALHOUSIE and Lord ASHBURTON the returns were ordered. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice of his in tention to bring in a Bill for giving the right of voting at elections to all persons who paid the income-tax. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH announced that it was the intention of the Government to introduce, in a short time, a measure for improving the sanatory condition of towns, and that there would be no objec tion to extending it to Ireland and Scotland. The Marquis of NORMANDY then rose for the pur pose of bringing before the attention of the House the manner in which various appointments in the Irish constabulary had recently been made, and con cluded by moving for certain returns on the subject. Lord STANLEY replied to the speech of the Noble Marquis. He did not object to grant the returns, but he wished them to go further back, se as to show the appointments which had been made by the Noble Marquis himself. After a short discussion, in which the Duke of WELLINC.TON and the Earl of ST. GERMANS took part, the motion as amended was agreed to. The Common Law Process Bill was read a third time and passed, and the Sugar Duties Bill was read a second time, after which their Lordships adjourned. The House of Lerd,3 met at Five o'clock. The Earl of RADNOR entarvi his protest against the proceedings of Saturday. In answer to Lord CAMPBELL, The Duke of WELLINGTON said he could not tell when the subject of Scotch Banking would be brought forward, but that he would take care due notice of he time should be given. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1845. of a corps not engaged, to cut off the communications of the insurgents, so that the latter were obliged to cut their way, step by step, exhausted by fatigue, want of food, and almost without ammunition. It is said positively that only from 600 to 700 were enabled to regain the Bernese and Argovian territories, and that in a deplorable state. The losses on either side cannot be exactly ascertained, but those of the Lucernese must have exceeded the losses of the insurgents. I will not notice the contradictory details in the journals. I expect soon to be able to give you an exact picture of this bloody contest, which will produce a prodigious effect in all Switzerland. ' Never,' says a letter which I have received from Berne, has any event been received with so much torpor upon one side, and so many expressions of indignation by the great majority. The whole population are in affright. It is asked, on all sides, if the Government can remain in active with 30,000: men at its disposal, of which a third are already under arms..'" Another correspondent who writes from Arau, April 2, says : " Yesterday evening the news spread that the second column had entered Lucerne, and was there closely blockaded. It was even said that a letter had been received from the Commander-in-Chief stating he could hold out twenty-four hours. It was soon known that this was not the fact ; night passed in the greatest anxiety. In the morning a part of the first column, which had returned the evening before, moved off to the relief of its brethren in arms, but arrived too late to be of service. There can be no doubt that the second column was cut in pieces. The first column having been repulsed, the Lucernese bent all their forces against the second, which was at the gate of Lucerne. It is certain that the Government of Lucerne had collected an imposing force. The whole population of Uri, Schwytz, Unterwal den, and Zug , with many hundred Catholics from Argovia, had answered to the call of Lucerne. It is said that the Go vernment had not less than 20,000 combatants at its disposition. The column of refugees was driven back to Malters, at two leagues and a half from Lucerne. There it wheeled round and faced the enemy, because it had to pass a defile which the Lncernese wanted to get possession of. But already were the refugees and their friends surrounded. Cannon were directed upon them right and left, while they were attacked in the rear, and the whole column was cut to pieces The number of killed was enormous, and many families are plunged in despair. The towns of Zofinque and Arau, with the canton of Bale, suffered the most, because it was the free corps of these places that fought the most vigor ously. A great number of prisoners were made." The Zurich Diet has addressed a circular to the different cantons, calling upon them to repress the exer tions of the free corps, and use every means to put an end to the civil war. Several cantons had replied to the circular, and announced their intentions to second the Diet under the alarming circumstances. At TORTONI'S on Sunday the Three per Cents. were quoted at 85f. 75c. THIS DAY'S NEWS. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY. The House sat to• day to hear appeals. The Feers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. VISCOUNT DUNGANNON v. SMITH. • This appeal from the Master of the Rolls in Ireland was called on, and partly opened by Mr. Hodgson on behalf of the appellant, but upon its being - discovered that the parties had appealed direct from the Master of the Rolls, without going to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, their Lordships ordered the case to be heard before the Judges when they should be in town. JACK v. 31‘INTYI:E. This was also an appeal from Ireland, and their Lordships, without calling on the counsel for the respondents, gave judg ment, dismissing the appeal with costs. Their Lordships, shortly after one o'clock, adjourned during pleasure. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolla took motions and petitions of no interest to-day. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Unopposed petitions and motions occupied the Vice Chancellor of England the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His Honour, having disposed of all the cases on hi; paper, rose shortly after eleven o'clock. Nothing particular occurred in Vice-Chancellor Wigram's Court. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE CHARLES MATHEWS, COMEDIAN. An adjourned hearing in this case of bankruptcy, the lead ing features of which are well known to the public, took place this morning, to settle the claims of the various credi tors, previous to paying a dividend. Messrs. Lewis appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. RICHARDS, on behalf of a Mr. Greville, claimed a sum of 560/, which it was alleged the applicant had paid for the bankrupt, on a security bond the former had executed on behalf of the latter. This debt had been already admitted by the bankrupt, but the right of the claimant to share in the present dividend was disputed on the ground that the applicant had not pre viously made his claim nor was present to-day to undergo any examination that might be required of him. The Court sus tained the objection, but decided, in order to afford the claimant an opportunity of being present, to extend the time of declaring the dividend. The claimant is at pre sent residing abroad ; and in order that an opportunity should be tgiven him to be present, it was, in the flrst instance, agreed, on his behalf by Mr. Richards, that he should be at the expense of another meeting, to be held in three weeks, providing he gave seven days' notice of his intention to be present. If the claimant did not give tho required notice, no meeting was to take place. In a subse quent stage of the proceedings this arrangment was altered, at the instance of his Honour, who thought it would inter fere with the declaration of the dividend, if the calling of the future meeting was left to the discretion of the claimant; and the adjourned hearing was fixed for that day fortnight, the 22d inst., at twelve o'clock at noon ; Mr. Greville to bear the cost of the meeting. The claim of Mr. Laurence Levi, the well-known sheriff's officer, which occupied the attention of the Court nearly the whole of the day on the last hearing, was mutually arranged by the parties themselves, without the interference of the Court. The arrangement entered into makes a difference in Mr. Mathews's favour of 1,200/. A claim of Mr. Sloman, who was engaged in Covent-garden Theatre, during the management of the bankrupt, for the alleged supply of canvas amounting to 40/., but which was disputed, on the ground of its having been included in a pre vious schedule under the head of carpenters' work, was post poned till the next hearing. The applicant, in reply, said the 401. alluded to was a debt owing to his brother, the car penter of the theatre. His HoNotTu ordered both brothers to be present at the next hearing, in order to decide the claim. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman HUGHES HUGHES.) FRAUDULENT BANKECTTCY. — Iiobert Bannister was "in dicted for, that he, being a trader within the meaning of the statutes relating to bankrupts, did unlawfully obtain goods of James Hargreave an d others, with i ntent to cheat the m thereof." Mr. Clarkson, with M r. Doane, were for the prosecution. MAr.ftHerugmhre.s cwLAasitein:sgoasgedhadforbrtiheeflydesfteanteeed the case, Robert Cattell, a mes sen g er from the Co urt of , . put into Court the proceedings taken before Mr. Commis sioner Goulburn in that Court. Robert Powles proved that the prisoner traded in Portsea as a draper. The name " Robert Bannister" was above his door there. John Smith, traveller to a commercial house in Cheap side, sold the prisoner, some time in July , a parcel of goods amounting to a b ou t 1001., and principally mousselaine de laines and other fancy goods. They were sold at three R months' credit, from the first of the foll owing month. Growcock, of G rowcock, Copestoke , anil Moore , ',icemen, Bow-churchyard—Their firm had transactions with the prisoner at Derby, and afterwards when he commenced business at Portsea. While at Derby he was in partnership with his brother, and they sold him some parcels of lace goods. He removed to Portsea in April, 1844, and dealt with him from time to time up to Ju l y. On t he B th July , 1844, the prisoner became indebted to the m for goods sold and delivered in the sum of 145/. 2.5. 9d. The fiat was issued againSt the prisoner at the instance of witness an d his partners. The first transaction with the pr isoner alone w as u p on the 3d of May. Cross-examined by Mr. MIGHEs.—I do know that the goods were sent from the warehouse in Bow-churchyard to the prisoner's place in Portsea. They were sent the usual v, ay. Th e y w ere purchased in the usual way in the ware house. A portion of these goods were sent to Co ckerell's Hotel, and those looked out by the prisoner in presence of the traveller. Mr. DoaxE—To save time, the balance-sheet furnished by the prisoner may be examined, and it will be found to corro borate everything advanced by the witness. William Quilter, an accountant, was engaged by the creditors to look over the accounts. The balance-sheet in his hands was furnished by the bankrupt. (Some business transactions between the last witness and the pri soner were read aloud to the Court.) He went down to the shop, 77, Queen- street, Portsea, on the 7th day of July, 1844, but did not find the prisoner there. He could not ascertain from the shopman were Bannister was. He saw his wife, and proceeded to investigate his affairs. The book produced in Court was one of those he examined. One a the ac counts in the book is that of Growcock, Copestoke, and Moore. The balance in July remains at 145/. 2s. 9d. He examined the bock with his balance -sheet, and came to the conclusion that his liabilities were upwards of 16,0004 The amount of goods obtained within six weeks of th at day was u pwards of 5,0 00 /. he believed c ons id era b ly more within the seven weeks. The amount of stock upon the premises might be about 9,000/. cost price. The debts were very trifling—between 200/. and 300/. He had afterwards a great deal of conversation with the prisoner, after his return from Ptiadeira—perhaps some time in Au gust — respecting the goods he had se nt to auction. He told wit ness that he had no record of them in his books, but lie said they were sold at a loss. Goods, for instance, bought at 7201. realised only 3911., leaving a loss o f 329/. on the cost p r i ce . G oods sent to Bullock cost 3401., and realised 182/.—loss 158/. That lot was sold on the same day with the former lot. The prisoner had been in business beard that 1 , 1 : 1 ; vitsez?e on in Portsea from the 9th of March to the 10th July. The stock left on the premises realised about 4,000/. The prisoner was insolvent at the first hour he commenced business in oo t l i i ir e ab% : ea l r t ed i n i witness of her. 1 1c 1 r . Portsea. When witness was at Portsea he discovered that abovefive tons of goods were sold to Moses and Son and other places. He found an entry of a saleto Moses and Son on the tint of May of goods that cost 540/. for the sum of 2001.

He (bd not state that that behind glass. money had been secreted Cross-examined b y Mr. licortz.—He was aware that . goods were deliv ere d after the 6th June. for Madeira about th e 11th or 12th of July. By the RECURDE H —T here is no doubt he left for Madei ra. By Mr. lltionEs — When I went on board the Gra ce Darling, I said to th e b ankrupt, " Mr. Bannister " — Mr. HUGHES—W e II, go on. Witness—" Mr. Ba nn i ster, you have not got th e s ame The prisoner lett trousers on you had before you left for Madei ra."—(Laugh ter.) Mr. HUGHES--That is not very important. What did he say ? Witness—He said "Who arc you?"—(Continued laughter.) The prisoner did not ,ay Quit he had given Mr. Jay 3,0001. He did not know what money he had taken to Madeira with him. The uitness then detailed at great length the conversation he had had with the prisoner, rela tive to the latter's proceedings at Madeira. The House of Commons met at Four o'Clock. The Greenwich Colliery Railway Bill was read a second time, after an ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr. HODGSON HINDE to throw it out. In answer to a question from Lord PALMERSTON, Sir R. PEEL stated, that no change whatever had been made in the terms of the convention entered into in 1839, between this country and France, for the regulation of the fisheries. Sir J. GRAHAM postponed the Medical Bills to that day week. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Excise Acts, and The CHANCELLOR of the ExcuxQuEß moved the Repeal of the Auction duty. Mr. G. BANKES opposed the repeal of those duties on the ground that their repeal would confer no benefit in the agricultural interests. The surplus revenue had much better be applied to the reduction of the county rates. A long discussion followed, and upon a division the resolution of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was carried by a majority of 137. The new works in Trafalgar-square have hitherto proceeded at so dogged and tardy a pace towards completion, that public expectation has been naturally excited in a degree proportioned to the delay. Fes tival-day after festival•day was named for the com pletion of the Trafalgar column ; for the raising the colossal statue of NELSON to its Stylobate elevation above the capital ; and for the anniversary, or com memorative dinner which was to hare been given tc the surviving veterans of October, l 805—at which one of NELSON'S brother officers was to have presided, but which, alas ! was eaten only in imagination. Duke llumphrey in the chair ! A published corre spondence, on each occasion between the Committee of Management and the architect—the Committee and the Governor of Greenwich Hospital, and the Committee and the Board of Woods and Forests— announced that the disappointment experienced on the last occasion would certainly not recur on the one now selected. After a great deal of evasion and, what we will call, downright shuffling on the part of the Board of Woods, &c., the consent which the Government had given to the projected arrange ments was withdrawn ; and Lord LINcoLN, in a state ment memorable for its offensive illiberality, its chil dish absurdity, and its exquisite bad taste, acknow ledged that this ungracious determination of the autho rities proceeded on the apprehension that the veteran tars forsooth, whom NELSON had so often led into con flict with the enemy, and deathless triumphs in every conflict, might be likely—after such a public feast — to commit some outrage dangerous to the public peace, which their valour had so signally maintained against the aggression of all Europe ! So, the com memoration fell to the ground. The subscription raised for the purpose of dispensing festal hospitality to the old heroes whose prowess had shed so much honour on their country, could not be appropriated to its legitimate object of doing honour to them. A pecuniary fractional dividend was the poor and mercenary acknowledgment of British gratitude, when it became its misfortune to have its expression controlled by the act of an inexperienced but not very diffident public servant. From the first, we have seen, with pain, that the works in Trafalgar square, which should have been achieved on a grand national scale, have been designed and executed in a manner whose shabbiness and littleness seem to be quite congenial with the feeling with which the Noble First Commissioner of Woods and Forests counter manded the leave to eat their dinner around the column to the Trafalgar veterans. This congeniality of feeling is the one only thing in keeping about the whole affair. Few capitals in Europe could have offered a finer site than Trafalgar square for an ornamental platform worthy of the magnificent column consecrated to the memory of NELSON, and of the picturesque, the unequal vista that fronts it, leading to and partly revealing the Banqueting Chamber at Whitehall, and the old Abbey of Westminster. Neither the monstrosity called a National Gallery, nor the incongruous but stately screen of Northumberland House, can mar the general effect of the new buildings, club houses, &c. which surround it, and the imposing effect of the fine portico of St. Martin's Church. It is cer• taro that the vacant space included within these boundaries, lying as it does upon an inclined plane , and in the centre of the greatest th oroug hf are b etween ' the Court and the City, the public offices, and the Parliament, presented capabilities for a magnificent improvement. What has been made of it ? The very finest chance has been sacrificed to the very demon of bad taste. It was determined to have enormous fountains, the agreeable office of which it is to cool the air, and refresh the way farers in the heat of summer. Th ere f ore from the whole of this vast platform everything ap: proaching to either shade or shelter has been rigidly banished. In the dog days the pilgrim to this " Column of Fountains" w ill have to endure the rays of a noon-tide sun above his head, whilst his weary feet will be refreshed with volcanic heat refracted from the wretched pavement of pseudo-asphalte, which, with its trumpery devices of eight pointed stars, sprawl ing in ugly antics of muddy gray and dirty white, is really enough to expose our notions of public orna mental display to the laughter of all Europe. Already this exquisite compost of mock bitumen is in a rapid state of disintegration. In its hoar antiquity of sixteen months, it is already falling into unseemly hollows, if not absolute fissures. Now, may we he permitted to ask how the notion of planting so favoured a locality came to be aban doned ? Evergreens and odoriferous shrubs, which are known to grow freely in the near neighbourhood of St. James's Park, would have imparted picturesque beauty to the locality, and health and refreshment to the passenger. By the terraces and walks a match less vehicle would have been furnished for the display of the almost infinite varieties of British marbles and ores, whose deep and glowing hues are susceptible of the most exquisite polish. We may imagine how grand their effect would ha ve b een , i n t ro d uce d into the facing of the magnificent terrace that overlooks the square from th e P a ll- mall East approach. But it would have been still more superb, as developed in the handsome flight of st a i rs th at already flank that terrace, Mosaic c n o d r in the compartments,party -coloured work in of th ewhether l surface of the square ;—in the parapet s and dressingsgr of the fountain re servo i rs, an d a b ove all in the forms of the fountains themselves. The expenses would have been very trifling, because the marbles of Derbyshire and other English counties, Anglesey, thelsle of Man, and Ireland, are exceedi ng ly c h ea p. Th en t h e size of the fountains is quite toy-like. They are like Mr. Giant FREEMAN'S left off cups for tossing and catching granetie boulder!. They are in every respect paltry. .arid pitiful, for such a pupae and such associa tions. Taut the planting—how came that important feature to be discar, 4 ,?f l ? What difficulty of selection could there be, where the image of NELSON looked down upon the spot which was ' to bear his honoured, and thrice renowned, and ever glorious name ? It is not yet too late to repair this omission. The pseudo-pavement cannot be en dured—it must come up. On the soil it has been it allowed to disgrace, plant, Englishmen! and reve rently rear, and anxiously watch over, and affec tionately approach, a grove of laurels ; the fitting, and evergreen, and ever-beautiful and ennobling emblem of that unrivalled maritime hero, whose proud motto in life was Palmam qui meruit ferat ; and who, after death, should have even his sculptured effigy reared amidst the scions of that tree which his undaunted head bore over every sea, to every shore, and naturalised in every clime where the flag of his native country had once been unfurled ; her power and her honour vindicated, and his own fame enshrined in the unsculptured but immortal records of victory ! Two meetings were held last evening in the metro polis, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the proposed additional grant to the College of May nooth. The meetings consisted chiefly •of Dissenters, and several of the speakers announced in suitable terms their attachment to the Protestant faith, and the danger of encouraging a religion which they consider hostile to their best interest;. No one who is alive to the blessings conferred by the Reformation, can fail to admire the strong feel ing in favour of Protestantism prevalent in this country ; but that feeling, and we may add that virtue, like all others, should be exercised with discretion. It cannot destroy the Catholic Church. The experiment has been made, and every day only furnishes additional proofs of its failure. Provision is already made for the education of Catholics in Ireland and in all our colonies, not be • cause their tenets are approved of by the State or the majority of the nation, but because the Catholics will remain fixed in their faith in defiance of persecution ; and it is better that they should have teachers well educated and friendly to our institutions, than a priest hood comparatively ignorant, imbued with foreign habits and political doctrines, and hostile to everything English. Opposition to this prudent and charitable scheme is not only hopeless, but it is dangerous to the very religion professed by the whole body of Dissenters. They have more to fear from the Puseyite Church than the openly avowed and ancient faith of the Catholics. And who are the bitterest enemies of this grant to May nooth? The enemies of the Dissenters—the bitter op- i ponents of the great measure for repealing the Test and '1 Corporation Acts, the unflinching and unscrupulous ad vocates of church-rates, and of every unjust impost levied from other religionists for the benefit of the richest Church in the world. Who were the tellers of the. minority against the grant on Friday morning last ? Sir ROBERT H. INous and Mr. J. P.'PLumPTax—the one representing the Puseyite University of Oxford, and the other the most bigoted and Church-ridden county in Eng land. The High Church party is represented by those two senators, and one of the leading principles of that party is adopted from the doctrine openly professed by the monopolising and overbearing Romans—" Divide and conquer." By joining with such men, the Dissenters are playing into the hands of those that only watch the opportunity of crushing them and Catholics together. A debt of gratitude, too, is due to the latter. Their representatives in Parliament have even voted f relief to other religious sects—they have voted against church-rates, and will vote again, though all their best interests are opposed by Christians to whom they have rendered essential services. It is gratifying, however, to find that all Churchmen do not belong to this persecuting sect. Even the men of Kent begin to be moved by a sense of justice and charity. The new and favourite candidate for the western division of the county has announced his intention to vote for the grant to Maynootb, on the ground that "in the early education of the Catholic clergy, error was greatly mixed up with truth, and he considered that a larg, r grant for the purpose of procuring intelligent men to teach the candidates for the priesthood in Ireland the whole truth was exceedingly desirable." His remarks excit, d some marks of disapprobation, but they were drowned by the voices of men who, while they did not forget their religion, remembered that there was but a choice of evils, and that it was their duty to lean to the side of charity. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have been received. The investigation into the late conspiracy was going on, and several of the persons arrested had been set at liberty, there being no proofs against them. The Senate had commenced the discussion on the Bill for restoring the unsold Church property, which would be passed as a matter of course. The Three per Cents. closed 34i for cash, and 341 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 26 for cash, and 26i at 60 days; and the Debt without interest, at Si at Gcr days. The emancipation of the negroes in the French colonies and the news from Switzerland form the leading topics in the Paris journals. On Saturday the Prince DE MOSKOWA (son of NEY) resumed his speech in the Chamber of Peers against the Government measure for modifying the evils of slavery and preparing the unhappy victims for complete emancipation. It is rather singular that of the most ardent friends of liberty (if we are to take their own profes sions), Baron CEARLES DUPIN and this chivalrous Prince are the most bitter enemies of the blacks. The Prince is especially indignant at the attempt—as dam gerous to the colonies, and a reprehensible imitation of England, which has ruined her colonies by setting her slaves free. " The English colonies," said he, " are struck to death. If we wi.-11 to preserve our colonies, let us reject this Bill." Two other Peers addressed the Chamber—one in favour of emancipation, and the other against it, when the Count DE MONTALEMBERT rose to reply, but owing to the lateness of the hour the debate was adjourned till Monday. In the Chamber of De puties, M. BENorsT presented the retort of the Com mittee on the Bill for the Conversion of the Five per Cents., which recommends that this stock should be converted into Four-awl-a-Half per Cents., and reduces to seven years the guarantee to the holders that for that period no further reduction shall take place. It also shortens the period within which the holders are to make their declaration. The accounts from Switzerland in thew:: papers fully confirm the defeat of the volunteers in their attack on Lucerne. The following appears in the Journal de Debuts:— " All the accounts which have reached us represent the defeat of the free corps as more complete than was at first be lieved. The victors have made, it is said, more than 1,500 prisoners. The Government of Lucerne has 'refused to sur render them, and they are confined among the little moun tain cantons, where it «ill be very difficult to retake them. Lucerne demands to be paid the expenses of the war. The number of killed is not known, but it must be considerable from the dreadful fury of the combat. General Sonnenberg had designedly drawn the free corps into the heart of the can ton, retiring to Gutsch, a height overlooking Lucerne. When he saw them engaged he fell upon them suddenly, while they were attacked upon the other side by the landsturm, who had risen behind them. The column of refugees and of Ber nese free corps who had entered from this side was cut in pieces. The whole staff of the free corps, who had made part of this column, were taken or killed. The victors returned triumphantly into the town, bringing back the cannon and munitions of the enemy. The column which had marched from Zofinque, composed of refugees and of Argovian volun teers, encountered another division of Lucerneae troops at Sursee and was equally defeated ; '2,500 men returned to Ar govia. Of the third column, which marched from Runach, there is no news. The Catholic party of Argovia and a part of the canton of Soleure had risen and marched to the relief of Lucerne. List, the capital of Bale-Campagne, and one of the strongest holds of the Radical party, was almost de serted, and the inhabitants in flight. The fear of a civil war was general, for the Conservative party of the canton of Bale were in a state of apprehension. The Vorort had ordered out seventeen battalions under the command of the federal Col. Donatz." The Zurich correspondent of the Constitutiennel, who pretends to good sources of information, admits the de feat, but regards it as only temporary. His letter is dated Zurich, April 2 : " Reduced to its proper forces, the Lucernese Govern ment, notwithstanding its immense preparations during the last three months, could have effected nothing, for it was opposed by half of its own population ; but, with the aid of the four primitive cantons, who at the decisive moment poured forth literally their whole male population, the triumph of the Government was assured ; as yet it has only been purchased by torrents of blood. The rethgees and the vol,:nteers have succumbed after efforts worthy the most heroic periods of our annals. For three hours the victory was balanced, but how could from 4,000 to 5 000 men, after a march of fourteen leagues, and who were obliged to seize by main force upon all the im portant passages, so as to reach Lucerne in a day—how could columns, composed for the most part of men who had met for the first time only the evening before, and whose organisation was defective and incomplete—how could they hold out against 20,000 men (its number ac knowledged by the victors themselves) all fresh troops? For they had only to make the journey of a lake upon two steamers, in movement night and day, the 31st March and Ist of April; on the other hand, the insurgents were obliged to bivouack in the plains or upon bilk covered with snow throughout two cold nights, while the troops Of the little cantons disposed of the resources of a capital city. And yet, when the expeditionary army learned what new and nume rous enemies it had to combat, not a word of discourage ment was hea r d to escape ; no one thought of retreating, which would then have been easy; they all prepared, conse oqwvueeerrneltotl overlook e f L o e r ooor t e h fron e uer b avrt Governmentet l r e e . t ak E e i n g h ab t na dt t t i a m rlei e to s anks t e l n i e. put Buthhi e o i r g s h d t ne s oc os w mo a c e l tr i than they were replaced by fresh troops.

It appears to be posted to Port sea, and re-posted to Mr. Mulling, of Ironmonger-lane, London. The prisoner is the man who purchased from me. The prisoner's hand writing is in this ledger, stating how the goods are to be sent. The date of entry is the 9th of April, and the amount of invoice is 1781. 18s. The goods were sent by Deacon and Co.'s waggons, and the invoice was forwarded by post. We drew upon the prisoner for the goods sold to him, and received his acceptance on the sth of May. That bill was dishonoured at maturity. An order was re ceived before the bill had arrived at maturity for a parcel of goods. The order was not executed. The debt of 1781. 18s. was proved in the Court of Bankruptcy. Lewis Adolphus—l am in the service of Moses and Son, and manage their concern. I remember some days before the Ist of May Mr. Bannister coming into our shop ; and he asked Mr. Moses whether he bought woollen clothes. Mr. Moses replied that he did. He then stated that he was a draper in Portsea, and he did not find it answer. He wished to get rid of a woollen stock. He thought the first loss would be the best. On the Ist of May he returned, and brought the goods to the ware house. There was nearly a cart load. be offered them for sale. We examined them, and Mr. Bannister stated a price for them, and a less price was offered him. The goods were purchased for 1041. 12s. 6d. They were paid by a cheque upon our bankers. The REcoRDER.—What is this number, 4181 at the bottom of the invoice? Witness—The number of yards of the pieces added together. The RECORDER—At ss. a yard? Witness—Yes. Mr. Quilter recalled, and examined by the RECORDER— The goods sold to Mr. Moses, agree in the numbers of the pieces, and the lengths of yards, with the goods got from Messrs. Hargreaves, of Leeds. Mr. CLARKSON then proposed that the prisoner's exami nation before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, at the Court of Bankruptcy, should be read, which was done. After the reading of these papers, which occupied a consi derable time, the jury were allowed to retire for half an hour. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) ADROIT THIEVES.— William Todd, aged 20, shopman, and Widiam King, aged 22, weaver, both very respectably dressed young men, were convicted of entering the house of Mr. Wood, 73, Broad-street, and stealing four pair of trousers and other articles, value 5/. Todd was further charged with stealing a handsome silver salver, value 14/., from the cham bers of Mr. Francis I'aget Watson, of No. 8, Thavies' Inn, on the 10th of March last. The prisoner, it appeared, availed himself of the temporary absence of the maid-servant, who had left the door ajar, to enter the chambers of Mr. Watson. He was observed to enter and leave the house in a suspicious manner, with his coat closely buttoned, and to hurry away, by a boy who was in a cart at the door, and who afterwards pointed him out amongst several other prisoners in the Compter. The pri soner was taken into custody on the day following the rob • bery, and 131. Bs. and a watch were found in his possession, for which he gave no reasonable account. The pollee had been unable to discover the salver, and it is not unlikely that soon after it was stolen it changed its original form. The jury found him Guilty. King was further charged with stealing a watch, value 3/., from the house of Thomas Illsley, of 74, Old Broad-street, on the Ist of March. The watch was in the possession of the prisoner when taken into custody on the above charge. His defence was, that he bought it and a pair of troasers from a Jew for 305., in a pubP.c• house in the City. This was proved by the pri soner's brother and a cabman, who were present at the bar gain; and the jury acquitted the prisoner. From questions put to the police-constable, it appeared that the prisoners were companions, and that they associated with thieves, and that a great number of robberies had been committed in the district in which they resided—Bethnal green. The CO3IMON SERGEANT ordered a silver watch and gold chain, and a ring found on Todd, to be givea up to his mother, a respectable elderly female, and the 181. Bs. to Mr. Watson, from whom the salver was stolen, and which, there was every reason to believe, was the produce of its sale. In passing sentence upon the prisoners, the Learned Sergeant said that they had been carrying on a systematic system of plun dering the public for some months, and had associated with thieves for this purpose, and it was his duty to protect the public from such characters. He should not be discharging his duty if he did not pass a sentence upon them which would be a lesson to others. The sentenee of the Court was, that they be transported for ten years. MIDDLESEX SESSION'S (THIS DAY.) The sessions commenced this morning at ten o'clock, be fore the Assistant Judge (Mr. Sergeant Adams), and a full bench of magistrates. The JUDGE charged the grand jury at considerable length upon the manner in which they should discharge their duties, and the kind of evidence by which they should be governed in finding or rejecting bills. lie recommended them to take the larceny cases first, because the Court would take none other this day, the cases of assault, fraud, nui sance, &c., being postponed to another day. To return in- dictments first in the latter class of cases would be a waste of the juries' own time, as well as of the magistrates'; and time was of some importance, as they had a very heavy calendar to deal with. _ _ The grand jury having retired, the Court proceeded to swear in the common juries. A great number of persons summoned were excused on pleas of illness and other grounds. A gentleman, who described himself as a teacher in a public institution, claimed to be excused on the ground that he is required to give a lecture upon anatomy daily, and that the season is at hand when those lectures must be suspended. The applicant was excused. A veterinary surgeon claimed to be exempted, also, on account of his professional engagements. The COURT did not think that the case was so strong as that of the last applicant. There was nothing particularly pressing as to time of year in the profession of the present claimant for exemption. The gentleman said that he attended a great many gentle •men's horses by contract, and as the town wes now very full, the calls upon his attention were numerous. If a horse, belonging to any of his customers, were to die whilst he was detained here as a juror, the owner might have an action against him.—(A laugh.) ➢lr. Sergeant AnAms—Oh, pooh ! If any action is brought against you, call me as a witness to prove that you were de tained by your duty here.—(A laugh.) Mr. James L. Wilson, of Highbury-terrace, applied to the Court to be released from the tine for non-attendance to his summons as a grand juror, on the ground that he had been unavoidably detained, and was only five minutes late. The JUDGE—You are excused. _ iie46erliii, --- 14;ia,iie — gentleman refuses to be sworn. The JUDGE—How is that? Mr. Wilson—l have religious scruples to take an oath. The JUDGE—What are you? Mr. Wilson—l am a gen tleman. The JUDGE—That is not what we want to know. What religious profession are you of, to entitle you to exemption from an oath? It is a very serious claim to set up, and we ought to know that you have legal grounds. If you have not, your refusal to take an oath might prevent, in some pro bable case, the acquittal of an innocent person. What are you? Mr. Wilson—l consider myself a gentleman ; but I am summoned here as a merchant. The JUDGE— Pray can you not answer a question? You claim to be exempted from taking an oath, and I ask you what you are to have that claim ? Mr. Wilson—l am a linen-draper; that is, it is part of my business; but I am described as a merchant. The JUDGE—StiII you don't answer me. Do you attend in ,your shop to do business as a linen - draper? Mr. Wilson —Yes, I do. The JUDGE—You come here to say that you have reli• gious scruples against taking an oath, yet you cannot answer a simple question. You first say you are a gentleman, and then it comes out that you are a linen-draper attendingyour own shop. You are fined I/. THE SPA-FIELDS GRAVE-YARD NUISANCE.—MT. BAL LANTYIqE, on the part of Robert Vend and the other de fendants in this case, applied upon affidavits to have the trial postponed to next session. He put in the affidavits of Mr. Lewis, solicitor for the defence, to the effect that the accused could not be prepared for trial in the present suasion, there being seventy witnesses to examine. Mr. Lewis—l have only sworn to seventy, but there are now one hundred and twenty summoned. The JuDoE said that if he were to postpone the case in the terms of the application, the case would come on upon a Saturday. Now, did the Learned Counsel think the case could be concluded in one day ? Mr. WILD, who appeared for the prosecution, said it would occupy two or three days. The JUDGE bad a great objection to take a case of this kind on a Saturday, as it would be spread all over the country in an unfinished state by means of the Sunday papers. After some further conversation between the bench and the bar, it was ultimately agreed that the trial should take place on Monday, the 28th of April. The Court was occupied the rest of the morning with cases of larceny possessing no particulars of the least public in terest. THE REV. MR. itIONCKTON. DOCTORS' COMMONS-THIS DAY. The Commissioners took their seats at ten o'clock, and Dr. LUSHINOTON, in reading the report made by them to the Bishop of London, said they had reported that the Act of Parliament had been conformed with, and that fifteen wit nesses had been heard in support of the charges, and counsel for the Rev. Mr. Monckton had also been heard, and fifteen witnesses examined for the defence; and as to the charges contained in the complaint made against the Rev. Mr. Monck ton, they had reported thus :—First, as to the charge of for nication with the women in the house—we do not find suffi cient evidence to warrant us in recommending any further proceeding on that charge. Secondly, as to the charge of intoxication—we do not recommend any proceeding; on the contrary, we are of opinion there is no prima facie case to support that charge. Thirdly, as to the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Monckton, in his mode of living and his conduct with the women in his house, especially with Sarah Huggins—we think there is sufficient ground for, and have recommended further pro ceedings, being of opinion that the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Monckton is unbecoming that of a clergyman, and calculated to bring scandal upon the Church. Mr. WARREN then rose and said, as counsel for the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Monckton, lie begged sincerely to thank the Court for the dignity, patience, and impartiality which it manifested during this painful inquiry. Mr. Monckton was in Court, and in his gown, and sat by his counsel while the report was read. COPPER MINERS OP ENGLAND. (THIS DAY.) The annual Court of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England, established by royal charter in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was held this day at the Company's offices, in Old Broad-street, City; Mr. James Alston, Go vernor of the Company, in the chair. The minutes of the lastmeeting having been read over and confirmed, The GOVERNOR read a speech which had been prepared by the Board of Directors, and from which it appeared that the operations of the Company since the last year had proceeded in a manner well calculated to afford great satisfaction to its Proprietary. The coal trade had not only recovered from its late depressed state, but was in a most healthy condition, and by the proposed reduction of the duty which had hitherto been imposed, its commodity was likely to still further increase in con-utnption. The tin plate trade had derived a considerable impulee, occasioned no doubt by the great advance which had taken place in the consumption of iron. The Company bad not yet reached its maximum "make" of a thousand boxes, but every day brought them nearer to that point. With reference to the iron trade, the Company were happy to state that the expec tations held out to the Proprietary at their last mevting were in the course of actual fulfilment, and the Company were now enabled to produce a vast quantity of this material to great advantage. The Board could not itllow that opportunity to escape without congra- tulating the Proprietary upon the projected South Wales Railway. It would pass through the centre of the Co n pany's works at Cwm Avon and Port Talbot, and greatly facilitate the transit of its productions. The operations of the Company in the past year were as follows :—At Swansea they had raised 46,476 tons of coal, 21,535 tons of which they had consumed. In the works they had smelted and refined 1,625 tons of copper. At Cwm Avon they had raised 58,188 tons of coal at the old collieries, 54,718 at Oakwood, and 27,361 atßrun; making a total of 140,267 tons; of which they had consumed 96,895 tons, and sold 45,487. The quantity of iron produced:from Cwm Avon and Oakwood fur nacea had been 8,070 tons. These works had made 42,431 boxes of tin plates, and smelted and refined 2,269 tons of copper. The Board concluded their address by stating that the Court of Assistants had resolved upon declaring a divi dend at the rate of Si. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital of the Company, payable, free of income-tax, on and after the 14th inst. The speech was adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the Proprietors, on the motion of Mr. GOODHEART, seconded by Mr. MASON. Mr. WARREN asked whether it would not be advisable, under existing circumstances ; to increase their operations in regard to iron ? It was calculated that there would be a de ficiency of half a million of tons if the present railway projects were carried out. The GOVERNOR told the Hon. Proprietor that his suggestion had been anticipated by the Directors, who were at present directing their attention to the point of raising more iron. Mr. Abel Lewis Gower was then elected Governor, and Mr. John Nix, Deputy Governor; and the following gentlemen were appointed Assistants : Messrs. Alston, Enthoven, Ken nard, Lawrie, Little, Lo g an, Miedonnell, Moorsom, Paull, Pelly, Ricketts, Ricketts, Vigurs, and Walters. Thanks were then voted to the late Governor, Deputy Governor, and Assistants for their past services on behalf of the Company, and the Court broke up. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The affairs of Switzerland are exciting some apprehensions on the part of at least the more timid holders of stock. But in the opinion of the more bold, and perhaps we may add reckless speculators, the affair is looked up to with some de gree of inattention. As to the Oregon Boundary question, the Bear party in the Stock Exchange is little concerned as to the result ; still, under all circumstances, politics are not considered to look quite so buoyant as they were a month or so ago. There are not any arrivals of importance from the British Colonies this morning. A fair amount of business has been transacted in the public Securities to-day.
