Earnestly as those aspirations were ex pressed by the First Lord of the Treasury, they are in no one particular exaggerated beyond the merits of the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House of Commons--for whose urbanity, impartiality, and dignity of bearing, for whose unquestionable learn ing and ripeness of scholarship, for whose soundness of judgment and extraordinary knowledge of the Constitution, all political parties and all classes throughout the empire entertain feelings of respect and admiration which have been justified by experience. It is already certain that the name of LEFEVRE will not be recorded less conspicuously in the national annals than that of ABERCROMBIE, Lord Dunfermline; than that of SUTTON, Viscount Can terbury ;. than that of ABBOTT, Lord Colchester ; or than those indeed of any of the distinguished men who have filled that illustrious office down even to the days of the great, the wise, and the good Sir THOMAS MORE. Having prepared themselves by these preliminary proceedings, the newly-elected representatives of the people seem to be prepared to enter vigorously into the discussion of those measures of alleviation or precaution which are demanded by circumstances. With the commerce and in dustry of the United Kingdom in a deplorable state of depression, with want and murder fright fully prevalent among the wretched population of Ireland, with the plague hurrying towards us on the wings of the wind, and threatening to afford a new il lustration of the necessity for greater cleanliness and decency in our larger towns and cities—there is suf ficient, in truth, to incite the Members of the Legis • lature to those active measures and rapid but saga cious deliberations which can alone sustain the hopes of the community—hopes that have been thinned and weakened by a congregation of disasters. Factious sentiments no longer divide the Commons into two gigantic and malevolent parties; there is just enough of confusion to admit of unanimity in the urgency of a national dilemma, and just enough of positive antagonism to stimulate inquiry, and arouse a wholesome spirit of emulation. Even those Members who may be regarded, from their duplex position at Westminster and Capel-court, as the peculiar and authorised guardians of the railway interests of the country, must for the time being abate the fury of their speculative predilections to aid the Government in ameliorating the sorrows, and abbreviating the agonies of the community. Even those again, who from their twofold authority in the lobby and in the courts may be considered as the pertinacious up hohiers of the law, as it at present stands, must diminish their professional enthusiasm fur a while, and co-operate in striving for those measures of re lief for which the exigencies of the kingdom are becoming clamorous. Much may be accomplished even before the adjournment for the Christmas vaca tion, if due regard be only had for the proper economy of time, and the most judicious se quence of motions. There has latterly been ample opportunity for agitation ; there is now ample oppor tunity for legislation. The people:have, with their accustomed precision, availed themselves of the former; their representatives must in turn prove theiieufoacity for availing themselves of the latter, and bs a. sagacious response to the aspirations of their constituencies, confirm the hopes of the nation, and redeem that strength which its late sufferings have unquestionably diminished. • This Day is published, price 6s. 6d., THE LAWS of HARMONIOUS COLOUR ING, adapted to Interior Decorations, with Observations on the Practice of House Painting. By D. R. Hay. A new Edition (being the Sixth,) in crown Svo. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. The public attention should be directed to a prose cution which has recently taken place at Castletown, in the Isle of Man, which forcibly illustrates the de fective state of the law itself, or of the manner of its administration in that island. It also affords a strong instance of the restrictions still existing on the liberty of the press, and the grave responsibilities to which any person must submit who devotes his time and property to the discharge of the duties of a public journalist. A report of the case to which we allude was published at considerable length, under the title of DUMBELL V. FAR.GiggAe. 911 r Ja . J"eat-rs pdir of the present month. We then, however, abstained from comment, inasmuch as the last act of the drama had not been completed. The sentence of the law had not been passed upon the innocent although convicted publisher. That, however, has since been supplied, and at this moment that gentleman is suffering close imprisonment in Castle Rushen, to which he has been consigned for three months, away from his family and friends, he has been also condemned to iiay a fine of 501., together with the costs of the pro secution, and to be imprisoned until such fine is paid. During that period he will necessarily be unable to exercise the watchful control over the articles in serted in his periodical, which it wPs distinctly proved on his trial he had ever manifested, with the exception of the day on which the libel for which he has been convicted appeared, when he was neces sarily occupied on another matter connected with his business, and which no other person but himself was competent to discharge. He may consider himself fortunate if, on his discharge from custody, he be not again made responsible, and sub jected to severe punishment for matters with which he must necessarily be wholly un acquainted, but for which he may, notwithstanding, be criminally convicted, according to the Manx law, as administered by Mr. Deemster HAYWOOD. The facts of the case, then, are shortly these : The defendant, Mr. ROBERT FARGUER, was the sole proprietor and publisher of a weekly newspaper called the Mona's Herald. In the month of August last a letter, signed " A Manx Advocate," appeared in that journal, containing serious charges against a gentleman named DUMBELL, a resident in the town of Douglas, and a member of the Manx bar. That letter had, however, been inserted without the know ledge, approbation, or consent of Mr. FARGUER, who during the whole of the day on which the mauu script was brought to his office, and while it was being printed and published, was necessarily engaged in managing and working a patent printing ma chine which he had then lately procured, and which no person connected with the office but himself was capable of managing, and in which at the time he was printing another periodical, of which he was also the publisher. Mr. FARGIIEE, it appeared from the evidence of Colonel JOHNSON (the editor), had usually exercised a more than ordinary degree of caution as to the articles that were about to be inserted in his paper, he having insisted that every manuscript should be submitted for his approval before it was set in type, or, technically speaking, " composed ;" in fact, it was a standing rule of the office that nothing whatsoever, even of the most trivial description, should be given out to the compositors, or inserted in the paper, until he himself had perused and ap proved of it. The article in question, however, had been published in violation of that rule, and without his knowledge, while he was so engaged at the patent machine, and as he himself stated (to which all the circumstances of the case trusted and believed that his strict nunci tons would gave the strongest corroboration) that "he fully ij have been compli e d w ith, an d th a t no article that had not previ ous ly b een i nspecte d by him would have r app eare d i n the Mona ' 3 Herald of that day." The moment Mr. FARGHER'S attention was called to the ratiecti,,nable article, he did everything that man could do to remedy the evil. He expressed to several persons his deep regret for its appearance, and imme diately suppressed the further publication of the paper of that date, and, notwithstandin cations, po s iti ve ] g numerous appli y refused to sell any further copies, the remainder of the impression (GO or 70 copies) tion thereto he having b een sealed up by his direction. In addi- , directed the editor to proceed to Castletown to obtain a correct report of the real facts of the case, from the examination of authentic documents, that a true statement ' , night be inserted in the next Herald, together with an rimple ap o.o gy.

Con, they were unanimous in their approbation o f the dignified conduct and distinguished character of Mr. C:i. Shaw LEFEVRE. Thrice has the mace been entmsted to the keeping of that Right Hon. Gentle man. Thrice, like the Sir RICHARD WHITTINGTON of Parlia ment, have his shoulders been covered by the arabexsqued robes of the Speaker on the re-assem bling k)f a new House of Commons. And it was not withowt reason that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as Prime Miniater of England, addressed the Member for WU . k,Y„ .LOND ON, r'itiDAV The Diario di Roma of the 6th publishes a brief, addressed by the PorE to Father PERRONE, of the Company of Jesuits, who has dedicated to his Holi ness a work on the Conception of the Virgin. The brief, in which the PONTIFF speaks in the most flatter ing terms of the fraternity of JESUS, is said to have caused a great sensation at Rome. After eulogising the work Pius IX. says :—" Such merits do not as tonish us in a member of that illustrious society, which has reared within its bosom so many men who have been honoured for the integrity of their lives, the glory of their sanctity, their devotion to the Ca tholic religion, by their various kinds of knowledge, by their services and benefits done to the Christian world and to civilization in general." The publication of this brief, coupled with the dis missal of Barri from the censorship of the press, for having suffered an article of too liberal a tendency to appear in the Contentporam,, f eal. ailrelgian Ambassador, tend to raise suspicions as to the sincerity of Pins IX. in his professions of liberality. The resignation of Cardinal FERRETTI is not calculated to re-assure the minds of those who view with pain the retrograde tendency of some of the recent acts of the PONTIFF, and what tends still further to add to these suspicions is the ominous fact that the Journal des Debats has recently been as loud in the praise of Pius IX. as if he had been one of the chiefs of the Sonderbund, or an active agent in the massacres of Galicia. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has addressed the two following letters, written by the royal hand, to Counts MAILATu and APPONY, appointing the former Minister of State, the latter Chancellor for Hungary : " Dear Count MAnani—ln gracious considera tion of your tried services and well-tested loyalty, I graciously deign to appoint you one of my Ministers of State, relieving you from the duties of Court Chancellor for Hungary, reserving to myself the use of your acknowledged talents as the occasion may require them. (Signed) " Vienna, Oct. 31, 1847." " FERDINAND " Dear Count APPONT,—Having, under date of 31st October, relieved Count MAILATII from the duties of Court Chancellor of Hungary, in fulfil ment of my Cabinet decree of Bth April of the present year, I now entrust to your care the direc tion of my Chancery for Hungary, confident that, as hitherto, you will know how to reply to the trust I place in you. " FERDINAND. (Signed) " Vienna, Nov. 6, 1847." The Archduke ALBRECIIT has been seriously in disposed; he caught cold whilst exerting himself to prevent the destruction of property from the late overflowing of the river at Vienna. Madrid papers of the I2th have arri►ed. The Gacela publishes a decree appointing BRAVO MURILLO Minister of Public Instruction and Com merce, and another conferring the French Embassy on General MANuEL DE LA CONCHA. CHRISTINA. has thus succeeded in placing one of her most reckless partisans in the Cabinet, and in sending into honour able exile the only man in Spain who could with any success oppose the influence of NARVAEZ with the army. The Espectador announces that an English diplo matist had arrived at Madrid on " a delicate mission ;" and it says that, in order not to create obstacles, it will for the present not state what the mission is, though it will do so hereafter. The Heraldo pro fesses to know nothing either of the diplomatist or his mysterious mission. The Espanol states that it was positively asserted that the Bank de Foment() had offered to transfer the quicksilver contract to the representative of the house of ROTHSCHILD. A French General named CORDINHAS left Madrid after several days' stay. His visit excited some attention from its having been supposed by some persons to have had a secret political object. He was treated with great distinction. On the 12th M. DE TALLETRAND, of the French embassy, left for Paris with an important mission. Ministers were preparing for the opening of the Cortes on the 15th. The QUEEN'S Speech, it was said, would be very short. The Deputies were arriving in great numbers at Madrid. Those of the Moderado party were to hold a meeting, at which it was be lieved the question as to the propriety of impeaching SALAMANCA would be discussed. It was generally believed that MoN would be elected President of the were e mbr e Addbob e ßnyle D of D the a nt oG2L6eospivAue,art at fifty fo , and Government. MADRID t.ld2a.y_ t that he would b e sup htheeTEhrievee pe pe r r CCeenntsts: appeared, stating, amongst other things, " We think that our correspondent has expressed himself unguardedly," and " that the facts did not warrant his opinion ;" and also, " hence we regret the insertion of the letter referred to, and thus publicly, and unasked, tender our apology to Mr. DumnELL for so doing. Common justice requires this at our hands ; for we have always endeavoured to conduct this journal on that principle, and we are determined still to do so." Now we confess that we can hardly conceive any thing further that could be required by any reasonable person ; however the complainant was not satisfied. One fortnight after the above was inserted a further apology was required, and that the manuscript should be given up, together with the name of the author, and the means of proving him to be so. Mr. FARGUER immediately replied, stating " that he had already, unasked and unsolicited, made what he be lieved to be a full and ample apology, and expressed regret for the appearance of the article referred to, and which he then unequivocally repeated, but that he could not make the further apology required, espe cially as he was called upon to declare what he was unable to declare, and to submit to terms which the law did not impose, but that the manuscript of ills letter, the name of the author, and the means of proving him to be so, were at the dis posal of Mr. CRAIGIE (Mr. DUMBELL'S agent)." Even this was not sufficient, and shortly afterwards Mr. FARGUER was summoned to appear, to answer criminally for the offence. The day he received this summons he called upon Mr. CRAIGIE, and expressed his readiness to publish the apology in the manner required, and to give up the manuscript and its author. This, however, was, after some consideration, re fused. Mr. FARGIIER immediately sent his editor to the parties acting for Mr. DUMBELL, begging them to state what more was required, as he was willing to do everything in his power to satisfy the complainant, to which the reply was, " that they had no terms to propose, and that they did not think that any proposition would be accepted." Notwithstanding this refusal an apology, sub stantially the same as that originally required was inserted in the Herald and two other Manx papers, and in addition, Mr. FARGUER offered to comply with the other terms originally demanded, and to pay the costs of the suit. Nothing, however, could appease the anger of the com plainant. The prosecution was proceeded with, and Mr. FARGUER was convicted and sentenced to the punishment above-mentioned, viz., to three calen dar months imprisonment in Castle Rushen, to pay a fine of 501, and the entire costa of the prosecution. 'We have stated the facts of this extraordinary case at such length—a full and accurate knowledge thereof being absolutely essential—that we are unable to offer the comments we had intended on the entire circumstances connected with the trial, the various ruling of the Learned Deemster who presided, and the manner in which, if the letter of the Manx libel law was adhered to, its spirit was violated. We shall, however do so, on an early occasion. In the meantime we direct the attention of the Home Secretary and of our brethren of the Press thereto, and beg to say that at this moment an innocent man, a British citizen, is suffering a rigorous and unmerited imprisonment under what we cannot help regarding as an undue strain ing of the law. We do trust that Mr. FAILG HER will speedily be released from his incar ceration, and from the pecuniary penalty imposed on him ; and that measures may be taken sufficient to render it impossible that any persons should again suffer in a similar manner in the Isle of Man. V,ENING O NOVEMBER 19 ) 1@47. fend ourselves." That the Sonderbund Swiss have lavished their blood in support of the Legitimatists of France cannot he denied. They did so in July, 1830, when they defended the Louvre and kept up a murderous fire for some hours on the French people assembled on the Place St. Germain L'Auxerrois. They are, therefore, well entitled to the support of the Legitimatists, but whether this circumstance en titles them to the aid of the King of the Barri cades, whose supporters on that occasion were the victims of their fire, or of M. GUIZOT, who owes his position as Minister to the defeat of those said Swiss in July, 1830, is a matter which we may safely leave to the decision of those who made the revolution. The Duke DES CARS and that Marquis DE PASTORET head the subscription in favour of the Sonderbund. It is not the first time that M. GUIZOT has made the acquaintance of these gentlemen. If we mistake not, they all met at Ghent. The Courrier Francais says—" It is reported as a certainty that the office of Grand Admiral is to be created in favour of the Prince DE JOIN VILLB ; but it appears that the Ministry has not dared to carry out this measure by a simple royal ordonnance, and that a Bill is to be presented on the subject to the Chamber, which it is hoped to find docile."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. APPROVAL OF THE SPEAKER, Shortly after Two o'clock the Marquis of Lans downe, the Master of the Rolls (Lord Langdale), Lord Campbell, the Earl of Auckland, and Earl Grey took their seats beneath the Throne, as Lords Commissioners, for the purpose of giving her Majesty's approbation to the choice of the House of Commons of Mr. Shaw Lefevre as their --- Speaker. Immediately after it had been ascertained by their Lordships that the Commons had taken their seats, Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, was commanded by The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, acting for the Lords Commissioners, to summon the House of Com mons to attend the bar, and in a few minutes Mr. Shaw Lefevre, accompanied by his mover and seconder, Lord Seymour and Mr. J. A. Smith, and a great number of Members, among whom we noticed Mr. R. Spooner, Mr. Thornely, and Mr. Greene, ap peared at the bar. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE then addressed their Lordships as follows :—My Lords, in obedience to her Majesty's command, her Majesty's most faithful Commons have proceeded, in the exercise of their undoubted right and privilege, to eleet their Speaker, and I have to acquaint your Lordships, that, however unworthy of it, I am the object of that choice, and I with all humility have now to ask her Majesty's most gracious appro bation of that choice. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then said—Mr. Shaw Lefevre, we have it in command from her Ma. jesty to assure you, that her Majesty is so fully sensible of your zeal for the public good, and your ample sufficiency to discharge the high and arduous duties to which you have been elected, that she fully approves and confirms you their Speaker. The SPEAKER—My Lords, with the most pro found gratitude and respect, I submit myself to her Majesty's commands, and it now becomes my duty, in the name and on the behalf of the Com mons of England, to lay claim by humble petition to the free exercise of all their ancient and undoubted rights, immunities and privileges ; more especially those of freedom of debate and freedom from arrest and molestation for themselves and servants ; free ac cess to her Majesty when occasion may require ; and that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to put the most favourable construction on all their proceedings and actions, and for myself, my Lords, I have to en . ...oatu ne committed they may be attributed to me, and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—Mr. Speaker, we have it further in command from her Ma jesty to assure you that her Majesty most readily confirms all the rights and privi leges of her faithful Commons, which have ever been granted by her .Majesty's royal predeces sors, and with respect to yourself, Sir, although her Majesty is sensible that you stand in no need of such an assurance, her Majesty will ever put the most favourable construction upon all your words and actions. The Speaker then bowed to the Lords Commis sioners, and retired from the bar. The Lords Commissioners then bowed to each other, and retired. The Master of the Rolls, having divested himself of his robes as a Lord Commissioner, and acting as De puty Speaker, shortly afterwards re-entered the House, and took his seat on the Woolsack. Several Peers then took the oath. The Lord Chancellor, we understand, was absent through indisposition. SURRENDER OF FRIBURG. these papers. A rumour was current in Paris on Wednesday, to he effect that the great Powers intended imposing .heir mediation in Switzerland. On this subject the Siicle says— " For some days past a report has been in circula tion that there exists an arrangement between the great Powers to intervene in the quarrel which divides Switzerland. If we are well informed, matters have not as yet assumed so decisive a turn. M. Guizot and M. de Metternich take much trouble to bring about this arrangement ; it is even hoped here that England, who so long resisted overtures for this end, is on the point of yielding. The question is said to be to impose on Switzerland the mediation of the five Powers, and to regulate the difference by a European arbitration. If the Diet should refuse to accede to this decision an armed intervention would take place to constrain it to do so. Thus, after the intervention in Portugal would come that of Switzer land. Did it not commence in reality on the day when the French Government sent muskets and am munition to arm the Sonderbund ? The intervention, supposing that it takes place, cannot even invoke the pretext of humanity, for humanity would have con sisted in preventing war, and blood has already flowed, and is now flowing again perhaps at Friburg. When the Diet pronounced the dissolution of the Sonderbund, it interpreted an article of the federal compact to which the seven cantons gave a different interpretation. Between the majority and minority of the cantons is it for Europe to pronounce ? On the day on which the great Powers will interfere in this difference there will not be any longer a federal compact, or independence for Switzerland. The act of mediation will be re-established not any longer for the profit of France, as under the empire, but for the profit of Austria, of whom M. Guizot is only the humble and blind instrument. The majority of the cantons has at present 80,000 men under arms. It may happen that the Diet, seeing itself at the head of wilt 1113%ctriirWarM it-111W trusted ? It will not be France, for although the Journal des Debats, confident in the thought which governs, has spoken of 40,000 soldiers disposed on the eastern frontier, M. Guizot is well aware that the Chambers would be most reluctant to vote the funds for such a campaign. This part then only suits Austria who has troops collected in the Voralberg, and who burns with a desire to make up for the checks which she has met with in Italy. But for the Austrians to penetrate into the canton of the Grisons, and to lend assistance to the Sonderbund, would call to mind most closely 1815, and it appears to us that M. Guizot has no interest to awaken such reminis cences." We mentioned yesterday that Count MONTALEM• BERT, the head of the Jesuit party in France, had opened a subscription in aid of the Sonderbund. The false pretences put forth by the supporters of the Jesuit Sonderbund are well exposed in the following article on this said subscription, which appears in the Courrier Francais :-- " M. de Montalembert has just published, in the name of the committee for the defence of religious liberty, a circular in favour of the Sonderbund. In this question, besides the cus t omary appeal for sub scriptions, there is a great deal of talk about martyrs, and faith, and liberty, and independence, and country. These are fine words, no doubt, representing noble things ; but the matter to be discovered is how they apply to the question. It is in vain that it is at tempted to turn away men's minds from the reality of things. The present war is not a religious war for Switzerland, nor one of independence ; it is a war of national constitution, or, to use the plain term, a civil war. It is in vain for the ultra-Catholics to offer up prayers in favour of the parties, to take the communion in its honour, to open subscriptions for its profit; they wiil change neither the character nor the nature of that war, which is exclusively political. Were even the right on the side of the Sonderbund, we should not like to see the name of God mixed up with a civil war, nor the dignity of the Church com promised in the matter. That the Jesuits, menaced in their interests by this War, should attempt to con found their cause with that of religion, at the risk of compromising the latter to save the former, will not astonish any one. Everybody is aware that the reve rend fathers, before being Christians, are Jesuits, and that before aiming at the triumph of religion, they aim at that of their order. But that the French Catholics should consent, in the name of their belief, to serve such intrigues is what we cannot compre hend! They speak of the Church! Has the Church anything to do with the war between the Sonder bund and the Diet? Have the Catholics of the mixed cantons been disquieted or persecuted in their belief? How then should the primitive cantons be so ? They speak of the liberty of Switzerland and of her independence 1 Do the Separatists consider themselves more liberal or more patriotic than the Federalists ? To wish to have Switzerland more ho mogeneous, is it not to wish to see her more inde pendent and more free ? That is, however, the greatest crime of the Federalists. How comes it, then, that the country, that independence, that liberty, are appealed to ? We have a higher opi nion of the cantons of the Sonderbund than M. de Montalembert has. God alone,' he says, by a miracle of his power, can give them the victory.' No; the forces are not so disproportioned as M. de Montalembert wishes to have it be lieved. And if the 20,000 experienced men of Lu cerne should gain a victory over the 28,000 new troops of general Dufour, it would not be necessary on that account to cry out a miracle, and to speak of the intervention of the Almighty. As to the Jesuits, who speak of devotedness and martyrdom, their first care, after having compromised Friburg in their cause, has been to take refuge in Neufchatel, in order to escape from the struggle which they called forth. We are well aware of the practices of the reverend fathers ; the Lazarists of Syria will tell you of their acts and deeds, and the Catholics of Gallicia, deliver e d by them t o the poniard of Sezela, will confirm the opinion so given. And if you do not wish to believe either the monks of the Libanus or the victims of Tarnow, the Catholics of Frihurg will soon give you news of the Jesuits of Neufchatel! The Union Monarchique states that the Legitimatists of France subscribe in support of the Sonderbund, because "the Royalists of France ought not to fail in that testimony towards a people who have so often lavished their blood for the monarchy, and because it defends the rights which we (the Legitimatists) de- at 14i for paper; the Passives, at 41 ; and the Coupons, at 11. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Journal des Debats publishes the following telegraphic dispatch received by the French Govern ment announcing the surrender of Friburg:— " A sanguinary combat took place on the 13th, in the afternoon, in front of Friburg. The town de manded a suspension of arms for twelve hours, to deliberate. " The following day, the 14th, Friburg surren dered, and at half•past ten o'clock in the morning the town was occupied by the Government troops. " General DE SALIS-SOGLIO (the Sonderbund Ge neral) has penetrated into Argau, and, as we are as sured, has taken possession of the important position of Zofingen." The Bale Gazette of the 15th gives the following as the conditions of the capitulation of Friburg:- 1. The Government of the canton of Friburg for mally to renounce its alliance with the Sonderbund. 2. The troops of the Federal Government to occupy the town immediately. 3. The troops to be lodged and fed according to the regulations of the federal army. 4. The troops of the Government of Friburg to be disbanded, and the arms of the landsturm to be deposited in the arsenal. 5. The troops of the Federal Government to occupy all the gates, and to lend assistance to the Government for the main tenance of order. The treaty of capitulation is dated Belfaux, the 14th, and is signed by General DUFOUR and the syndic of the Grand Council of Friburg. The Constitutionnel gives the following letter : "Berne, Nov. 13. " The conductor of the Zurich diligence had this morning brought the intelligence that the troops of the Sonderbund had assumed the offensive on the side of the Freiamt of Argau, and had even succeeded in seising on Muri, the chief town of that district. This news has been confirmed to a certain point by dispatches which have been received by the Vorort. The result is, that in the night of the 11th, four bat talions of infantry, two companies of carbineers, and two batteries of artillery penetrated into the Argau territory by seising first on Diewyl, where were taken prisoners the imprudent soldiers of the battalion Fosi ; but half a league further on this whole force was held in check for several hours by three battalions of Zurich infantry and a company of St. Gall carbineers, until the arrival of two detached battalions from Wohlen and a company of carbineers. A battery of artillery happened to be at Muri, which up to yes terday morning could not be occupied by the troops of the Sonderbund. According to posterior informa tion from a good source, this circumstance accele rated the explosion of general hostilities, and the federal corps of the fourth and fifth division (Ziegler and Bourckhard), the head-quarters of which were at Arau and Zurich, were to have moved to-day to commence the attack against Lucerne and Zug, and the third division (Donatz) was to seek to attack the army of the League in the rear." This is all the news from Switzerland contained in HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Two o'cl oc k. Amongit the new Members we observed Mr. Wyld, Mr. Sheriff Cubitt, Mr. George Thompson, and Mr. Williams. SIR AUGUSTUS CLIFFORD entered the House at 20 minutes after two, and advancing to the table said— Mr. Speaker, the Lords Commissioners, authorised by virtue of her Majesty's Commission, desire the immediate attendance of this House in the House of Peers. The Speaker, who appeared in Court costume, with an ordinary barrister's wig, then proceeded to the House of Lords, accompanied by nearly all the Members present, about 150. The Right Hun. Gen tleman wa3 accompanied to and fro by his mover and seconder, Lord Seymour and Mr. J. A. Smith. He returned in ten minutes, and having taken the chair, The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN said, I have to state . o this House that I have been this day to the House of Peers, where I communicated to the Peers appointed by her Majesty's Commission that this House had proceeded to the election of a speaker, and that its choice had fallen on me. My Lords Commissioners on behalf of her Majesty have confirmed that choice, and also her Majesty's most gracious approval. 1 therefore, on behalf of the House, laid claim to the usual ancient and undoubted privileges heretofore possessed by this House —espe cially the privilege of freedoin from arrest for our selves and our servants—the freedom of debate— free access to her Majesty at all reasonhble times, when we desire it—and also that her Majesty would put the most favourable construction upon all our words and actions ; and my. Lords Commissioners were authorised by her Majesty to concede those privileges to the House. I cannot make this communication L.) the House without offering my sincere and respectful thanks for having been again placed in the high position which I now occupy, and by assuring the House that it will always be my earnest desire, with their assistance, and support—and, after the proceedings of yesterday, I feel confident that I shall always receive that support—(Loud cheers) to uphold the dignity and authority of this House, and that respect for its rules and orders, upon the due observance of which not only the proper and satisfactory disposal of the public business, but upon which the character of this House must entirely depend. I have now only to remind the House that the only business that can now be proceeded with is the taking of oaths by Members at the table. The swearing in of the Members was then pro ceeded with, in groups of twenty, commencing with the counties, in alphabetical order. MONEY and COMMERCIAL .lEWS. CITY, QC/AIt:TER Tt) TI11:EE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Sales 3,000 bales, including 2,500 American at 41d. to 6d. per lb. Rails a) Shares were quiet. The intel;igence of the capitulation of Freiburg, to the troops of the Federal Government, was fully anti cipated from information of a preliminary character, which had been previously received. However, it has bad little influence yet in political circles; but the more so, as the statement previously made does not appear to be correct, viz. that the Austrian troops were marching in the direction of the contending parties. There are not any colonial arrivals announced in the City to-day. The Corn Market was heavy this morning. There is a meeting of the Spanish bondholders in progress in the City. The proceedings, as yet, do not possess any general importance. As a matter of course, the deluded and ill-treated bondholders are indignant at the vacillating and dishonest policy of the Government, though some hope for better times. There is no particular change in the state of monetary affairs in the City. Where undeniable securities are offered we have a strong impression that, ere long, the bankers and discount houses will be sharp competitors for business, otherwise they will be shorn considerably of their profits, for, business having been contracted, there is much less facility for the employment of cash. The Funds have fluctuated a good deal to-day. Upon the commencement of business, prices were heavy, Consols having fallen to 831 Subsequently th9y rallied to 844, and are now 83i to 84 for present Trans fer.
