On Monday evening the Member for Limerick contrived to waste the entire evening by his amendment, that the order for the day for the second reading of the Bill for th e p revent i on of crime and outrage in Ireland should be postponed, and the other orders of the day read. On Tuesday the motion for a Committee to inquire into the means by which the Act of Union was carried, the effects of that measure, and the probable con sequences of the legislative union between both countries, occupied the attention of the House for the snare evening. Other questions will have priority for this evening. Lord GEOROE BENTLNCK is entitled to precedence for his motion for an inquiry into the present condition and prospects of the East and West Indian possessions and the .Mau ritius, and if his Lordship should be disposed to waive his claim, in consideration of the great impor tance of carrying the very moderate measure de 'landed by the Irish Government, for the preserva tion of life and property in that unhappy land, we can :scarcely hope that the Member for Youghal, whose monster motion for the production of papers stands next on the list, would ex ercise a .similar forbearance. If, however, by any possibility the Bill should come before the House, we have then Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN'S amendment, on - which, most probably, the same speakers will again repeat the same matter which, on Monday, was addressed to the House on Mr. J. O'CONNELL'S amendment, and the debate will be protracted for many ensuing evenings, so as to prevent the passing of the Bill before the Christmas holidays, and thus to defeat the intentions of the Ministry by with holding for a f ew wee k s t h e a ddi t i ona l powers de manded by the Lord-Lieutenant, by means of which his E xcellency hopes to be enabl e d to effect the tran quillization of the Compliment disturbed districts. the Iri s h M em b ers on th e i r discretion in the course they are pursu i ng. Th ey may be conseienti ous l yo PP°sed to anythi ng t h a t w ill in the slightest degreeinterfere with th e I r i s h people, or interpose an obstacle i n the of the public peace, b u t they way ma may b of the di s t ur b ers be well assure d wh e th er th ere that the present question is not merely coercion, shall or shall not be a law savouring of am to the amount of restriction that shallbe but sanc tioned in such s law . There ar e very many linihers who are disposed to censure the moderati on of the present Bill, and who would readily assent to -much more stringent enactments, if demanded by the Government. The most violent opponent of the Bill now before the House does not attempt to deny that it is a much slighter interference with the liberty of the subject than any Bill of a similar cha racter brought forward at any former period. Ihe Member for Tralee, on Tuesday, spoke of the coer cion Bills as becoming, Small by degrees, and beautifully less,' till they were reduced almost to a nonentity," and yet (at least within the last week), he resists it with the -utmost energy, not merely by fair argument and dim mission, which would be perfectly legitimate, but by "interposing delays, and converting the forms of Tfi A ;II N i . LONDO lit the House Into instruments for defeating the wishes of the great majority of its Members. We have ever found that a refusal to accede to a moderate demand in the first instance has led to additional requirements, and that ultimately much more has been carried than was originally asked for. Such may be the case with the present measure ; and it is possible that if the legislative sanction cannot be obtained thereto previous to the recess, that additional powers may be sought for on the re-assem bling of Parliament. The language of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE on Monday evening, in the House of Lords, was exceedingly ominous. His Lordship said—" At this moment I am not prepared to say that further powers would be asked for by her MAJESTY'S Government ; but the moment that it appears that the provisions of that I3ill—the power of disarming the people and increasing the consta bulary, now confined to proclaimed districts, but which might be extended to other parts of Ireland should a similar spirit of disorder appear about to arise, at the discretion of the Lord. Lieutenant— were ineffectual, her MAJESTY'S Government would lose no time in asking Parliament for more effectual measures." If, therefore, more stringent enactments should be grafted on the present Bill, if the trial by jury should be suspended, and martial law in troduced into the disturbed districts —if the innocent are to a certain extent confounded with the guilty, a new Curfew Law enacted, and a General Arms Bill introduced the people may thank the Members who are now congratulating themselves on their success in impeding the progress of the measure now brought forward. We are no friends to any species of coercion, or to any departure from the constitutional law. We are, however, compelled to acknowledge that some localities are in such a state, that the ordinary powers of the law are insufficient to afford protection to the peaceable inhabitants, and that that protection is perhaps more urgently required on behalf of the humbler classes, the small farmers and labourers, than of the gentry themselves. With this conviction we yielded a hearty assent to the Government measure because there was the least possible departure from the spirit of the constitution, and we therefore depre cate the conduct of those who, by their imprudence, may lead to a much greater violation of the popular liberties. Considering the rapidity with which the Christmas vacation is approaching, it would have been most advisable, probably, for the Hon. and Learned Member tor Youghal to have postponed his motion for the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill until the re-assembling of Parliament at the com mencement of 1848. Not that we conceive the question of religious disabilities as coming in any manner within the category of those isolated crotchets which recently elicited the protest of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. We cannot but think, however, that the proposed abolition of the invidious disqualifica tions at present existing against the admission of Israelites as representatives in the House of Commons would have been sufficient labour for one December in the cause of theolo gical toleration. Especially in such a December as this, when the interests of the community are so marvellously and perillously complicated, and when a few months' further procrastination could not by possibility have affected in an injurious manner either Mr. CHISIIOLM ANSTY or his co-religionists. To ourselves the hurry evinced by the Member for Youghal in demanding such an Act of legislation at such a period of embarrassment, appears as decidedly crotchetty as his forthcoming motion as to the im peachment of the Noble Viscount the representative of Tiverton, or as that of Mr. I.lactuuAßT in refer ence to the convocation of a Parliament in College green. The only distinction between them is, indeed, that the two latter propositions are crotchetty in themselves, while that of the immediate removal of Roman Catholic disabilities is only crochetty in as far as it is extravagantly ill timed. This circumstance we are disposed to regret with the more earnestness, from our solicitude that the principles of civil and religious liberty should on no account be again violated by the pertinacious re tention of the penal enactments still inscribed upon the statute book, and this continued retention appears to us to be in some measure endangered by the undue precipitation of Mr. CuisnoLst ANSTY. Those who, like Sir ROBERT IN•BLIS, are enthusiastic (we will not say fanatical) supporters of the Church Establishment, may be worried into more violent ' opposition than ever by the maladroit introduction of this relief measure when the whole Legislature is distraught with an almost unparalleled accumulation of difficulties. Howbeit the representative of Youghal did demand the second reading of his Bill for the abolition of certain obsolete enactments against the practice of the forms of Roman Catholicism within the boun daries of the United Kingdom, and the speech in which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman advocated this most ration al proceeding on the part of Parlia ment was as temperate in tone and as straightforward in character as could have been well desired. With the postponement of its examination in Committee and its third reading in the Commons until some more fitting opportunity, we shall continue to anticipate for Mr. ANSTY'S motion a greater degree of success than attended the recommendation of the Criminal Law Commissioners in the summer-I°f 1842, the in quiry of Mr. DUNCOMBE on the 13th of July in the same year, the Bill introduced by Lord BEAUMONT to the House of Lords on the 6th May, 1844, or those introduced to the House of Commons by Mr. WaTsoN on the 20th March, 184, on the .sth February, 1846, and on the 10th February, 1847, successively. It is but reasonable to expect the ulterior erasure of so many odious and dastardly penalties from the book of national statutes. It is but reasonable to expect, for example, that that clause should be expunged from Elizabeth 1., c. 1, which ordains the infliction of grievous punishments upon whomsoever shall bow to the ecclesiastical authority of any foreign potentate—for it is notorious to every schoolboy in her MAJESTY'S dominions that all Roman Catholics are subservient to the ecclesiastical authority of the Sovereign PONTIFF. It is but reasonable that the 13th Elizabeth, c. 2 , should be altogether repealed, that Act declaring the importation of papal bulls, writings and instruments, or even little waxen and metallic articles called Agnus Deis, and rosaries, to be an offence punishable in the first instance with prce munzre, and to be high treason if repeated. According to the Courrier Francais, Lord MINTo (a no bleman who, without being invested with any express diplomatic character, may be mo rally regarded as envoy extraordinary from the Court of St. James's to the Quirinal) has actually signed a convention for the establishment of relations between Rome and England, between the Government of VICTORIA and that of the enlightened ,Plus. Supposing this rumour to be correct, and that Cardinal BUFFONDI is formally accredited as Papal Nuncio in London, will it be consistent to retain this Act 13th Elizabeth, c. 2, upon the statute-book, to require the expiation by severe penalties of the im portation of a chain of beads and medals, and at the same time to connive at the introduction of a live Cardinal (scarlet stockings, and all), into the very reception hall of the palace of St. James's ? Such are the outrageous anomalies which will be removed on the passage of Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTY'S Roman Catho lic Relief Bill through both Chambers of the Legis lature. And therefore it is that we are anxious for the success of this measure—anxious, be it remem bered, less on account of the Catholics themselves, than for the vindication of the character of Protestant England. The following is the note transmitted fr o m Bil e by the F rench Ambassador, M. Bois LE COM7E, to the President of the Swims Diet : Kiln' Kin g of the French Ambassador of his Majesty the received the order nc o i f t ht9q the , S • Confederationw nm iss enttokh has i lowing a r e t isin tCloofvtehre Council o make fu lV te a h r et oSef Swiss the s. Diet, ande°lt'.l,,Tile• ent' aniracaotnetdinubeY to the President to th e e n l . iveliest Sonderbund ost sincere seritletthte " The King s G ov desire to see all part e s ra cT faithful to the of friendship for the Swiss as Onelo'Bflasiltltil, benefits of peace, inspired bYurtnloiaePteireo the Powers which s contracted engagements which France, signed the Treaty of Vienna of towards the Confederation, has seen with the found regret the commencement of the civil we?. Z s e t t pro the cantons which compose that Confederation. Desirous of of employing its efforts and good offices with the obj ect of arranging the differences which have been Ow source of all those hostilitlea, the King's Government has put itself in communication on this subject with the Govern ments of Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia; and finding these Governments animated by the same motives, it has resolved, in concert with its allies, to make a collective offer of the mediation of the five Powers, with the object of re-establishing peace and concord between the cantons of which the Swiss Con federation is composed. The undersigned is, in conse quence, charged to offer the mediation of France for this object, conjointly with that of the other four Powers. It', as the King's Government hopes this offer to be accepted, an immediate suspension of hostilities will take place between the belligerant parties, and will con tinue to the definitive conclusion of the negotiations, which will be entered into. In this case, it will more over be necessary to establish a conference immediately, composed of a representative of each of the five Powers, of a representative of the Diet, and of a representative of the Sonderbund. The basis on which it is proposed to effect a reconciliation between the Diet and the Son derbund consists in causing the grievances put forward by each of the parti es t o disappear. These grievance appear to be, on the cne part, the establishment of the Jesuits in Switzerland, and the formation of the separate league of the Sonderbund ; on the other, the fear of the aggression of the corps francs, and the de sign ascribed to the Diet, to destroy or 'violate the separate sovereignty of the different cantons. The fol lowing then are the conditionswhich the King's Govern ment would: propose for the re-establishment of peace in Switzerland: " First, the Seven Cantons of the Sonderbund should address themselves:to the Holy See, to demand if it would not be right, in the interest of peace and religion, to in terdict to the Order of the Jesuits any establishment on the teritory of the Helvetic Confederation, subject to a just and sufficient indemnity for all the properties, in lands and houses, which they would have to abandon. " In the second place, the Diet, confirming its pre ceding declarations, would take the engagement to make no attempts against the independence and the sovereignty of the cantons, such as they are guaranteed by the Federal Pact; to accord for the future an effica cious protection to the cantons which might be threa tened with an invasion of the corps francs, aud, if ne cessary, not to admit any new article in the Federal Pact, without the assent of all the members of the Con federation. Thirdly, the Seven Cantons of the Sonderbund would then formally and really dissolve their separate league. _ _ Fourthly, and lastly, as soon as the question of the Jesuits should be completely resolved, as indicated in the first paragraph, the two parties would dismiss their respective forces, and re-assume their ordinary and pacific attitude. " The undersigned is charged to express the lively hope of the King's Government that this equitable pro rosition will be warmly received by the two belligerent parties. And he is further charged to solicit a prompt reply from the Diet. The undersigned prays his Ex cellency the President of the Diet to accept the assur ance of his high consideration. (Signed) COUNT DE BOIS LE comrE. Ambassador of France. " Bale, November 30." We read in a letter from Geneva of the 4th— " Our Government caused the victories of the army of the Diet and the fall of the Sonderbund to be celebrated to-day by salvoes of artillery. A triumphal reception is to be given to General Dufour on his return to Geneva. Our fellow• citizen, Colonel Rilliet Constant, is desig nated as the person who is to fulfil the functions of Charge d'Affaires of the Confederation in France, in place of the late M. Tschann. There had already been some talk of nominating him to that place even when the late Charge d'Affaires was alive. Nothing seriously disquieting has occurred within the last few days at Neufchatel. The: Radical populations of Chaux-de-Fonds and the Val-de-Travers had been hitherto restrained. Trees of liberty had been erected through bravado on the frontier of Berne, on the side of Neufchatel, but nothing for the moment caused any apprehensions to be entertained of real acts of hostility on the part of the Diet. The Government of Neufchatel, moved by a sentiment of prudence, commanded by its position, had consented to pay into the Federal treasury its double contingent in money, and had renounced prosecuting about three score of Radicals of the mountain, who, in contempt of its in terdiction, had gone to serve as volunteers at the attack on the canton of Friburg." In conformity with resolutions adopted in a popular meeting, held on Nov. 27, the provisional Govern ment of Lucerne passed a decree on the 30th, ex cluding the Jesuits for ever from the canton. Another decree restores to their rights all citizens deprived of them, in consequence of the political prosecutions, from Dec. 8, 1844, to Nov. 23, 1847. It also quashes all the political prosecutions now pending. A letter from Leghorn, of the BOth ult., states that the British squadron in the Mediterranean, consist ing of two ships of the line, two frigates, and a steamer, arrived there on the 28th. The steamer left on the 29th. A letter from Genoa of the Ist inst. says— " The King, after having sojourned at Genoa for about a month, has fixed upon the 3d for his departure. All classes of the people are filled with enthusiasm, not only for the reforms effected or promised, but for the personal qualities of Charles Albert. In a conversation with several eminent persons of the city, the King, re ferring to the armaments of Austria, and their seem ingly intended augmentation in the spring, affirmed with satisfaction, that all our strong places were completely armed, and that our frontiers were safe. lie said, if any conflict should ensue I have full confidence in the valour of our soldiers, in the peal of my subjects, in the energetic co-operation of Rome and Tuscany; for all the people of Italy will combine in one from the day in which it may become necessary for them to maintain their independence and repel foreign invasion. I must not forget to make you acquainted with the singular de termination come to by our youth, as it will give you an idea of the reaction which has taken place against the occult though real yoke which the Jesuits have hitherto fastened on the necks of our families. All our young men have bound themselves by an oath, not to marry any young woman who may have a Jesuit for her confessor, or whose parents are known to hold any communications with them. I have this moment learnt that the King, wishing to avoid any popular ovation, has :resolved to take his departure in the night. But this determination has become known in Genoa, and the whole population is prepared to make the more enthu siastic manifestation. Great preparations are being made at Turin to celebrate his Majesty's rettirn to that city." A letter from Rome of the 28th ult., says that Rome is again in the fulness of joy in consequence of the election of Prince CoßsrNr to the office of Senator or President of the Municipality. Fears were entertained that a retrograde would have been chosen, but in conformity with the wishes of the POPE, Pr ince CoßstNr, a man of great popularity and of the best intentions has been elected. This nomination has spread general satisfaction throughout the whole city, which has been manifested by acclamations, by ovations to the muni cipality, and by spontaneous illuminations. A grand procession, which took its departure from the Piazza del Popoli, arrived at six o'clock at the Capitol, whence it proceeded to the palace of Prince COBSINI, with torches, bands of music, and banners, bearing inscriptions, among which were—Public Instruction ! —National Industry ! and Railroads I In the centre of the procession was carried the standard of Rome, represented by a she - wolf—surround e d by the names of all the chief towns of provinces in the States of the Church. On reaching the Capitol, which was brilliantly Illuminated, cries were uttered of—The Independence of Italy for ever! Long live the municipal coynsellors ! Long :live Coatura ! The Roman people for ever ! The Roman senate for ever ! The names of CHARLES ALBERT, PIUS IX., and LEOPOLD 11. were also from time to time proclaimed, with loud applause. At length tke Corsini Palace was reached and the cries and songs were repeated with increased energy, and ceased only for an instant to allow the new Senator to address the people from his balcony, surrounded by flaming torches, offering his thanks with assurances of his sympathy in their sentiments. The municipality has also nominated the following personages to be the eight Conservators—vig., M. BIANCIIINI, Prince BORGHESE, the Chevalier COLONNA, the Marquis DELLA FARINA, the Advocates ARMEL LINI, SCARADIUCCI, and ETURBINETTI.” Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. In the discussion on the Address, on the 30th, General NAEYAEZ defended himself and his Ministry from the attacks which had been made on both by Senor CORTINA during the two preceding days. In his reply, NARYAEZ maintained that, since the death of FERDINAND, no Ministry had ever been more in accordance with Parliamentary principles than the present, for it had duly convoked the Cortes, and possessed the majority therein. He denied that the circumstances under which the Cabinet was formed were unusual. The QUEEN, he said, sent for him from Paris to form a Cabinet, but he failed to do so, because the persons he named as his colleagues did not please her MAJESTY. The Goyena-Salamanca Ministry was then concocted. After it had been in power for ,some time, the QUEEN again sent for him, and again ordered him to form a Cabi net. The hour at which this took place was not unusually late. Having received her MAJESTY'S ta the he formed of a y chief , a n p commands, he cause d General Ros DE OLANO p to be s3ug h t for to sign the necessary decrees, and h hisar party, Administration.rofed his devotedness He denied beingt done devotedness to his country , y, re f erred to the specific acts of illegality of NY 11 141 he Was 541(1 to have been T_IIITRSDAVg RV guilty ; and with reference to the complaint of his conduct towards ESPARTERO, he passed a high com pliment on that eminent individual, declared his pro found respect for him, and expressed a desire to see him back again in Spain. Ile added that no orders now existed to prevent ESPARTERO from returning, and that if he chose to come back the next day he was at liberty to do so. He entered into explanations with respect to the Spanish Ambassador in London having declined to sign a pasport for ESPARTERO'S return to Spain immediately after his refusal to ac cept the embassy in London ; but he again repeated that there was now no obstacle whatsoever to his return, that for his part he should rejoice to see him back, and that he would be the very first to give him his hand. These declarations excited great sensation, which was immediately followed by a hearty round of applause. In the sitting of the Ist, General Ros DE °LANE, explained th•a part he had acted in the recent Minis terial changes. He denied that he had betrayed or deserted his colleagues; he had merely obeyed the orders of the QUEEN in countersigning the decree , appointing NARVAEZ President of the Council, Senor OLOZAGA was speaking when the post left. The proprietor of the Espanol has been elected a Deputy. General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA, ex-Captain- General of Catalonia, had arrived in Madrid. The Eco dcl Comercio says that divisions exist in the Moderado party which render the duration of the present Ministry uncertain. The same journal states, that in order to favour the interests of two eminent personages connected with what is called " the situation," bonds given in payment of military services from 1836 to 1840, have been paid in full, whilst a little while ago the holders could only get 20 per cent. for them. The 'Millar _Espanol says that Lieutenant-General RONCALI has been nominated Captain-General of the island of Cuba. A petition has been presented to the Congress in which GODOY, Prince of the Peace, is denounced as debtor to the Spanish nation to the amount of 320,000,000 re uls. The petition was referred to the Committee on Petitions. One of the papers states that several commercial enterprises, and among them the Iris, the banks del Fomento and de Ultramar, and the Union Hispano-Filipina, are about to be formed into one concern. General ALAII has, it is said, been declared by the Supreme Tribunal of War and Marine to be entitled to a trial. MADRID BOLSA, DEC. I.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 at 50 days; the Five per Cents., at 15i ; the Debt without Interest, at 41 for paper; and the Coupons, at toi. We have received the French papers of Tuesday. The - National gives the following explanation of the reasons which induced the authorities of the canton of Vaud to suppress the assemblages of what are called the Free Church. The clergy of this Free Church, it should be recollected, were formerly in the pay of the State ; but inasmuch as they chose to dis obey the orders of the State by refusing to make cer tain proclamations, after service in the churches, on the subject of the elections (a matter nearly ana logous to the posting the register of voters on the church doors in this country), the State stopped their pay, they seceded, and other clergy who pay obe dience to the laws were substituted for them. The decree, recently issued, forbidding these Free Church meetings, has been stigmatised as abominable intolerance. In reply to this accusation the National says :—" The most complete religious liberty has reigned in the canton, governed by the Radicals for the last three years. As long as the meetings had for their object matters relative to worship, the Govern ment did not interfere. But after the Sonderbund had raised the tents of civil war, some preachers transformed these assemblies into workshops of con spiracy; faith was not preached therein, but hatred ; people did not pray there—they conspired." We believe the National is perfectly correct in its statements, and if so the authorities of Vaud are abundantly justified. Sedition is not the less sedition because it happens to be uttered by a clergyman from a pulpit. Conspiracy is not the less conspiracy be cause the conspirators desecrate a place of worship by using it for their place of rendezvous. The following article from the Journal des Debuts may be considered as showing the arriere pewee of M. GeiZOT, in regard to the Swiss inter vention. It contrasts very forcibly with the mild language of the note presented to the Diet by M. BOIS LE COMTE :-" The funda• mental compact of S witzerland," says the Dibats, " is in a permanent state of violation. The military occu pation of the little cantons, and the administration of them by the commissioners of the majority, have no more the character of legality than in the Germanic Confederation the absorption of the more feeble by the stronger states would exhibit. But the Radicals prepare, if they are permitted, to go farther. They say so aloud in the Diet, in the clubs, and in all their organs; they do not conceal their design to change the compact with a simple majority ; they avow openly their design to second in the states contiguous to Switzerland the revolutionary movement, and they correspond with all those who keep up in these states a spirit of subversion and revolt. In their hands the territory of the Confederation is nothing more than a kind of free, port open to all disturbers of general order; it is, in the midst of Europe, a hot-bed of disorder, and a laboratory of anarchy. They assert that no one can say who will be their allies ; they are mistaken, we know well who they will be. In pre sence of such a past, such a present, and such a future, it cannot be said that the question is finished. It is a question which is not circumscribed within the limits of Switzerland ; it is the general struggle of Radicalism against order and against peace. It is in this point of view that the question ought to be judged, and it is thus that, from the beginning, M, GUIZOT regarded it. The French Government claims, and justly, the initiative which it has taken in calling the attention of Europe to this alarming state of Switzerland. But the warnings which, long before the present crisis, it gave to the Confederation, were so many friendly counsels to prevent the explosion of a disorder which was sure to lead to general compli cations. When M. GulzoT is reproached with having seized on, with having even sought for, occasions to interfere in the affairs of Switzerland, it is impossible to be further from the truth. M. GUIZOT, on the contrary, has always been most careful to uphold the right of Switzerland to resolve her own affairs, as long as, by the exercise of her private right, she did not infringe the general one. He knew that the intervention of a foreign influence or force, without the most evident and most pressing necessity, could only be injurious to the very cause of order which he decided to defend. This necessity must arise from the facts themselves, in order not to be doubtful to any one; it was necessary that it should be demonstrated that the civil war not only affected the internal organization of Switzerland, but also the relations which connect the Confederation to the whole European order. The French Govern ment, therefore, waited, and waited to the last ex tremity; M. GUM? did not call for active steps until the evil was imminent, and until the necessity of arresting its progress was become unquestionable. The mediation of the great Powers being once de cided on, it was important that they should be unani mous. It was important, also, that the Powers who represent most particularly the Liberal principle should be united in a common action with those Tepresenting great Conservati ve reatreaso principl e . M. GuisoT, therefor e , w ith n e nm th en at t should t a k e ) p w a a rt s u in rg t e b n e t m th e a d t ia t t h i e en E . ng yv lis e h G be o l v ie e v r he is far from regretting the efforts which he made to induce it to join. The delays which the nego tions engaged in on this point occasioned are more than compensated for by the result which they hare obtained. The union of the mediating Powers was the best guarantee of the impartiality and disinterestedness of each of them ; and, since they assumed the parts of arl d trators, it belonged to them the first to give an example of that compromise which all wished to propose and several wanted to impose. A comn ion mediation was therefore decided on, and the Fre: ich Government immediately had the collective n ote agreed on between the representatives of the f ive Powers handed to the Diet. It is said that it is :no longer time, and that all is finished. That is a gre at error. The object of the mediation was not merely to cause hostilities to be suspended; there w ere, there are, still greater evils to prevent. The fall of the Sonderbund has terminated a first period of the question, but has pot decided everything. If there WIN D)IICEMBI are no more belligerent parties to separate, there are the vanquished to protect, and the conquerors to keep within bouods. More than ever, it is neces sary that Switzerland should be made aware of the sentiments of Europe ; more than ever she must be made to understand that the powers which guarantee her constitution, her inviolability, and her neutrality, recognise her such as she has been constituted by treaties ; but that if the basis of the constitution is to be changed, it ought not to be and cannot be altered but by the unanimous consent of all the confederate states." The KING arrived in Paris on Monday. The Courrier de Marseille of the 4th, says— " A passenger arrived from Algiers by the Mirovia states that at the moment of his departure a steamer was getting up her steam in all haste to convey the Duke d'Aumale to Oran, it being whispered among the best informed persons that thepPrince had received despatches, informing him that Abd-el-Kader, finding himself placed in a very difficult position, had come to a serious resolution to open negotiations, and that this was the motive for the prompt departure of his Royal Highness." A letter from Oran, by the last mail from Algiers, says— " It appears certain that two of the sons of the Em peror of Morocco have already marched beyond the town of Thar), with large forces ; that a third army is advancing by the mountains of the Riff, and that the Caid of Ouchda, awaking from his long apathy, and reinforced by a body of regular cavalry, has succeeded in getting together a respectable force, and menaces on his side, the deira of Abd-el-Kader." The Northern RailrOad Company had advertised a call of 75f. per share, payable between the 20th of February and the 6th or March. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse, on Tuesday, at 75f. 55c. ex div. ; New Loan, 76f. 75c.; the Five per Cents., 116 r. 80c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,212 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 906 f. 25c. ; Havre, 477 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 557 f. 50c.; Avignon, 561 f. 25c.; Vierzon, 550 f.; Bordeaux, 485 f.; Boulogne, 380 f.; Dieppe, 265 f.; Basle, 167 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 417 f. 50e.; Tours and Nantes, 400 f.; Paris and Lyons, 395 f.; Spanish Three per Cents., 29 MP BUSINESS DONE IS FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, DEC. 8.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) VIGNOLES V. PARKES. The plaintiff Vignoles, the eminent engineer, who sought to recover from the de fendant, a member of the provisional committee of the Blackburn, Chorley, and North Union Junction Rail way, the sum of 5,0001., for preparing the plans and sections of the above-named railway. Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Cock burn, in the absence of the Attorney-General, conducted the case for the defendant. From the evidence it appears that the plaintiff was employed by the defendant on the 25th of June, 1845, to survey the country for the proposed line. On the 28th of July he furnished a report to the company pointing out three different lines which might be adopted. One of the lines so pointed out was .elected by the company. The line recommended by the plaintiff would have been less expensive and more easy of con struction than the one selected. At the request of the company, however, the plan and sections were prepared under the direction of the plaintiff, and duly deposited. They passed the examination of the Stand ing Orders Committee, but the Bill was finally rejected on its merits. The sum of 1,5001. had been paid into court on account of the claim set up by the Mr. COCKBURN, on the part of the defendant, pro duced a letter from Mr. Vignoles, requesting that he might be allotted 2,)0 shares in the railway, and desiring that the deposit upon the same, amounting to 5251., might be written off his account. The Learned Counsel contended, upon this, that the plaintiff, being a share holder in the company, had become in that capacity sub ject to the responsibilities and losses equally with the other shareholders, and that he was not enabled in law to sue the company for the present demand. After some discussion on the subject, the jury, by the direction of the Lord Chief Baron, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of 5,000 L, leaving the amount of set-off on account of the deposits to be arranged by arbitratian. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) William Smith was indicted for stealing a large num ber of carpenters' tools, the property severally of Wil liam Batty, Robert Thompson, and Richard Stamp. William Batty said, he and the other prosecutors were working together. and the prisoner, who was a labourer in the building, managed to gain access to his chest, from which he took tools to the value of upwards of 71. The other prosecutors deposed to the loss of a number of tools, and Stamp proved that the prisoner had also robbed him of his coat. A verdict of Guilty having been returned, The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said, there was no offence coming before that Court which he felt more determined to treat with the utmost severity of the law than stealing work men's tools, as not one in a thousand had the means of replacing them at the moment; and not only they, but their unfortunate families, were driven often to starvation in consequence. He repeated again there was no species of robbing more atrociously cruel than this, and he should sentence the prisoner to seven years' transportation. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. T. PuotLE and a Bench of Magistrates.) Henry Carter was indicted for stealing, at Lambeth. 400 bricks, the property of Thomas Talbot. It appeared that the prisoner was detected loading a cart with the property in question, but succeeded in making his es cape. He was subsequently arrested, and admitted hav ing taken the bricks, though he now denied the com mission of the offence. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Robinson. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) John Charles Thompson, a law student, residing in James -street, Buckingham-gate, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk, and assaulting Police-constable Deane, 141 C. Complainant stated that this morning, about half-past four o'clock, he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he was called to quell a disturbance which had taken place amongst the cabmen on the stand. He went to take their numbers, and while doing so the defendant came up and began to pull witness about. He told him to leave off, and not interfere with him in his duty; but as he (defendant) still persisted in his conduct, witness took him into custody and conveyed him to the station. Complainant added that defendant was very much in liquor at the time. Defendant admitted being much excited with liquor, and that he might have pushed against complainant by accident. Mr. BINGHAM fined him 10s. for the assault. Mr. Frederick Jones, a barrister, residing at No. f). Old-square, Lincoln's Inn, was charged with indecently exposing himself, and with assaulting Mr. John Groom, of No. 1, Long's-court, Leicester-square. Complainant said, about halt-past eleven last night he and his wife were going home, and, just as they entered the 4,,urt, he saw the defendant standing in the centre of the court, with his person exposed in a most indelicate manner, committing a nuisance. Witness went up to him and expostulated with him upon his conduct, and requested him to stand against the wall and allow his wife to pass. The defen dant, instead of so doing, turned sound and struck him in the faces. Witness attempted to avoid the blow, when defendant struck him again. Witness, to protect him self, closed with defendant, and in the struggle they both fell down. He cried out "Police," and held defen dant till a constable came up, when he gave him into custody. Police-constable 25 C said he heard the cry of " Po lice" proceed from Long's-court, and on proceeding to the spot lie saw defendant in the act of throwing com plainant down. He went up and took him into custody. iThe defendant said complainant struck him first, and he retaliated in his own defence. He entered the court for a certain purpose, in consequence of its being secluded from the public thoroughfare. Ile had not the remotest idea at the time that it was occupied, us it evidently appeared to him to have been used for a length .of time for the accommodation of the public. He had a witness in court who would prove that he was not exposing himself as complainant had described. Mr. Charles James Field said, last night, about half past eleven o'clock, he was walking with defendant in Green-street, Leicester-square. On arriving near Long's-court defendant left him and went down the court. He waited for him at the corner, and saw com plainant go up to defendant and strike him first. A more unjustifiable assault never occurred. Mr. BINGHAM told last witness that it was not the part of a witness to express .pinions of what had oc curred. He (witness) had only to relate to the Court what he actually saw. Mr. Bingham then proceeded to cross-examine him, when he admitted that defendant was standing at least four feet from the wall. In reply to Mr. BINGHAM, the constable said defen• dant and his friend were both very much iu liquor at the time. This the complainant denied in into. Mr. BINGHAM, after commenting at some length upon the evidence of the case, said defendant's own witness had proved that he was acting in an indecent manner, and that the assault committed upon complainant was inexcusable. He should fine him 5/. for the assault and 40s. for indecent conduct ; in default to be imprisoned for one month in the House of Correction. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) CHARITY.—On the presiding magistrate, Mr. Bal lantine, taking his seat on the bench, he observed that he had received a letter, which bore the signature of " I). Wenclosing," containing the half of a 51. note, the other half of which the writer stated would be sent on the receipt of the first half being acknowledged in The Sun newspaper. lAA ,WP.M4.4.0 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE CITY, QL;A:ZTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yester day were 2,500 bales. The market closed very heavily. American sorts were 41d. to 4d. per lb. There were 8,300 bales of American sold at 4d. to bid. per lb. Railway Shares were not so good, and prices were lower . At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., prices were steady. We subjoin a few of the quotations:— North British, Extension £0 13 0 Leicester &Bedford, Exchange Certificate 0 13 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension.....„ 1 7 6 South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 1 0 Liverp.

The state of the markets for produce, both colonial and foreign, appears to have shown a slight degree of improvement within the last day or two. It is, how ever, true that the public sales have not gone off well; but we understand that by private contract considerable quantities of goods have been cleared off for home con sumption. We have received from Mr. Richard Oastler some re marks upon the present state and future prospects of the railway share market, which appear to be apposite and interesting. This gentleman claims credit for having forewarned his friends of the probable effect of so many new schemes, but has at the same time the good sense not to attribute our monetary embarrassments to that cause. Adverting to the effect of so many schemes being simultaneously sanctioned, he states,— " Most disastrous results have now followed, but rail ways are still required, and they will hereafter be sub mitted to a new test. We have in Parliament many railway directors who are now smarting under the effects of the folly of the last Parliament ; we have al ready indications that contraction will be the rule this session. lam of opinion that the Legislature will offer every theility for the abandonment of inchoate schemes, and for the delay of such as are commenced, giving time for the nation to meet the expenses of their forma tion. I think also that the Government will see the absolute necessity of interfering by law in the regulations necessary to enforce an uni form: and honest method of railway book keeping, and statements of railway accounts ; and that they will prohibit the delusive system at present practised by some railway directors, of paying, without earning, what they call dividends,' which are, in truth, increased expenses. No persons in Parliament can have so strong an interest in promoting such measares as those Honourable Members who are railway directors. Judging, however, from their past conduct, and the statements of account for which they have vouched, it may be feared that they will cling yet longer to a system, which, while it now deceives no one, tends to diminish their proper influence. Nothing is more clear than the fact, that delusion begets distrust. I would advise my friends to watch the ope rations of Parliament, assuring them that every move ment in the directions I have indicated will tend to restore confidence in railway property, and, conse quently, improve the marketable price of every good line." In the Funds to-day there has been some good business done. Consols for Account opened at 86, and ad vanced to 86k, and for Money the price was 851*. Exchequer-bills have been quoted at 4s. and at 7s. pre mium, and Bank Stock at 1881. The New Three-and. a- Quarter per Cents. have fluctuated from 85i to 85i. In the Foreign Bonds the variations have been slight. Brazilian Bonds are at 78i ; Mexican at 17i ; Spanish Five per Cents. 1711 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, at 551 f. The Railway Share Market is very quiet. * A sale of 100,0001. Consols has just been made for money. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 188 3 per Cent.
