And it is most gratifying to be able to infer, that in

Zouban. lie epeaseillookastbe protectressofServia,without
whose permisism as Asap can be made in the government
of that principally. The orte has not yet replied to M. de
Titoff '5 note, but It is thought that the Turkish minister
will not admit the right claimed by Russia to prevent them
' from snaking a change in the administration of Servia.
There is in fact no treaty which gives this right to Ruske ;
the government of St. Petersburg were simply guarantee§
for the continuation of the constitutional advantages accorded
by the Porte to the Setvians. Servia is not in the same po-
litical position as Wallachia or Moldavia, nor has Russia,
until in the present affair, ever attempted to act in the former
province as she has in the other two.
The Porte has received official information that his Holi-
ness the Pope hag ordered his eminence Sig. Valerga, lately
appointed patriarch of Jerusalem, to proceed to Conatantino-
ple. He will be the bearer of presenta from Pius IX. to the
Sultan, in return for those presented by Chekib Effendi to
his Holiness. Sig. Valerga will be accompanied by Mon-
seigneur Ferrieri, who wu formerly chargé d'affaires for the
states of the church at the Ilagee. After having laid his
presents, &e., at the feet of the Sultan, Sig. Valerga will
proceed to Jerusalem, but Monseigneur Ferneri will possibly
[ make same stay at Constantinople. The political part of this
mission is evidently confided to Monseigneur Ferrieri, who
has a certain reputation for ability in the diplomatic world.
Letters from Teheran state that the troops of the Shah
have completely defeated the rebels in Khorastan •, and the
Saint and Mahmoud Kouli Khan, who were the chiefs of the
I revolt, have taken refuge in flight.

THE CIVIL WAR IN
Numerous reports of the movements of the various
columns of the federal army, which preceded the surrender
of Lucerne, are before us, and the Paris journals are filled
with like details, supplied by their respective correspondents,
The despatches from Bale are to the 26th, and those from
Berne to the 25th. These details, however, are stripped of
their main interest, by the fact which we have already made
known of the surrender of Lucerne, and the virtual dissolu-
tion of the Sonderbund. Although the federal army con-
verged to the city in five columns by different roads, it was
that division commanded by Col. Ziegler, advancing by the
road running parallel to the Reuss, which it was evident
must first arrive at the capital of the league and decide the
contest, and it was accordingly against this that General
Solis Soglio directed his chief defences. The road follows the
left bank of the river to Sins, and thence to Gialikon,
where it passes by a bridge to the right hank. In advance
of Gislikon, at hones, a strong redoubt was constructed
on an eminence, the guns of which swept the road by
which the division of Ziegler must pale. This division
having crossed the river at a lower point by means of a
bridge of boats, advanced to the feet of Ilonan by the right
bank early en the morning of the 23d. Here a sharp action
took place, which lasted several hours, at the close of which
the fort was taken by assault by the column commanded by
Col. Egloff. The lose sustained on both sides in this affair
is reported to have been considerable, but the official re-
turns not having been received such estimates can have no
other ground than mere conjecture. The federal troops then
advanced to Roth, • small village within a leaves. and a
half of Lucerne, where they again encountered a vigaaom
resistance. Here the troops of the Sonderbund suf-
fered severely, three battalions being cut off from the
main body, and compelled to lay down their arms. It was
at first reported, but, as it afterwards proved, errooeoaaly,
that General Sills Soglio himself was among the prisoners
on this occasion. It is affirmed, however, that the general
was wounded in the cheek, i,nd that one of his aides-de-
camp surrendered to Colonel Ziegler. After this fruitless
resistance the troops of the primitive cantons took flight in
complete confusion, escaping into the mountains, while those
of Lucerne retreated precipitately to the city. Meanwhile
the federal troops advaaced and seised the heights which
command the town, without further resistance, when, as
we have already reported, the city, on the morning of the
24th, surrendered unconditionally. In the middle of
She preceding night, the governor, accompanied by
General Selig Soar, escaped on the aide of the
lake by a steam-boat, carrying off with them the public
cheat, and the moat important papers. On the morning of
tha2Ath, the federal troops are reported to have been well
moored on mitering the town.
While these events took place in the valley of the Reims,
the division of Gmur was marching from the canton of Zing
along the shores of the lake of that name, and it einem:amid
a vigorouby s reatstance at a strong pai tad= at Rooterbmg.

was larded after a brisk engagement, and this column
heated a junction with that of Col. Ziegler, before the arrival
of the latter at Lucerne.

Fuse.—AT HOXTON.—Aft extensive fire broke out
yesterday afternoon, in Flask-Meet, Heaton Old Town,
conearellas before It was Weaned property valued at several
(Ismailia pounds. The premises—a timber-yard sag'
bulldm' shok—"belonged to Mears. Lawrence and Oa. A
dozen lofty piles of timber were soon wrapped in dares, seta
the conflagration continued to spread in every di:anise.
The firemen mounted the tope of the surrounding houses, k
expectation of being able to confine the flames to the pre-
mises belonging to Mehra Lawrence, but the flames were
blown into the houses in Queen-street. Oae tall double
house of three floors first became ignited, which being filled
with oils and colonist was in very few minutes one sheet of
flame. From thence the fire continued to travel down the
street, firing the roofs and backs of the houses belongingk
Mr. Webster, bedstead mak. r and japanner, No. 5; Mr.
Coombe., boot-maker, No. 6; Mr. Dunning, general turner,
N 0.7 ; Mr. Wybrow, chair.maker, No. 8 ; and Mr. Griffith,
cow-keeper and (dairyman, No 3 By order of the eke
officers the firemen brought all their force to bear upon this
lutenanted property, and happily, the farther extension of
the flames in that direction was arrested. Meanwhile the
tire continued to travel in Messrs. Lawrence's baildinp,
firing stacks upon stacks of timber. By six o'clock it
was at its height, and formed a (grand sight ; volumes of
sparks were tent high into the air by the wind, and fal
down the chimneys of the houses in the different streets, I
so that the occupiers were obliged to stand in the
several rooms with buckets of water, to save their
habitations from destruction. Several thousand pounds
worth of property from the surrounding streets were
carried out and piled up in the open air. The crowd
was so immense, that it was almost impossible to pro-
tect it. By hidtpast nine all danger of any further exten-
sion of the fire was at an end ; but from the great mass of
flame even then remaining, notwithstanding that nearly
twenty engines were at full work, it was questionable
whether the firemen would be able to get the flames entirely
subdued during the night. A great many hands will be
thrown Out of employment by this disaster, but, from the
fact of one end of the property having been saved, the works
will not be wholly suspended. It is understood that the firm
was partially insured in the Wert of England and another
fire-office.—lv CLOTH FAIR. —Shortly before ten o'clock,
whiht the firemen were engaged at the above ceases
Lion, • messenger avived with intelligence of another
outbreak having occurred in Cloth-fair, West Smith-
field. Thither as many engines as could be !Tared W4OO
despatched, as well as these remaining at the other station.
Upon arriving the premises of Mr. Morgan, a piece-broker,
No. 14 in that thoroughfare, were found to be on fine. At
that time the flames were inning from the windows, thresh
ening devastation to the surrounding property. The aegis.,
were immediately set to work, and by dint of exertion the
firemen succeeded in getting the flames extinguished, but
not until that portion of the premises in which the disaster
occurred were burned out, and the upper part severely injured
by fire and the lower part by water. Mr. Morgan, who was
ill in bed in the second floor, had a very narrow escape of
losing his life. He was aroused by his daughter, but was so
paralysed with fear that it was only by a desperate effort of
hers that his life was saved. The escape of the Royal So.
ciety for the Protection of Life from Fire quickly attended,
but fortunately the whole of the inmates had by that time
effected their escape. Mr. Morgan, whose loss in considera-
ble, was not insured.

The clauses in the deed of ss ttlement were read and con.
sidercd seriatim. The alterations made in them were gene-
rally unimportant. It was carried, however, that the holders
of three shares of 1,0001. each, instead of five share', ss it
originally stood, should be eligible to become direeters.—
Clause 34, which relates to the qualification of directors,
gave rise to considerable discussion.—Mr. Duckworth sug-
gested that no bill-broker, or broker for import or sale, in
Liverpool, should be eligible as a paid or ordinary director.
He was supported by Mr. R. Zwilchenbart and several
others.—Mr. Samuel Holme opposed the motion.—Mr.

Duckworth agreed to confine the ;restriction to paid directors
only ; but, after considerable discussion, it was resolved to
trust to the discretion of the directory as to the persons
whom they might appoint, and the donee wee left as it ori-
ginally stood.
In answer to a question from a proprietor, Mr. Chaffers
stated, that, daring the lut eleven yeah, the expenses of the

has been paid in dividends to the proprietors, and 142,0001.
yet remains in acmes to the bank.—Mr. A. F. Jones ex-
pressed an opinion that the surplus fund of the bank should
be invested in some good security, and not used as floating
capital; so that it might not again, at any future period
become totally absorbed.

the old directors, and then submitted a list of eight names
to fill their places:—Mean. Highfield, Booker, Tyrer,
Shand, Stock, Bibby, Samuel liolme, and Imrie. The
Chairman announced that Mr. William Clare and Mr. Gibb,
formerly directors, declined being nominated again. The
' seven first of the eight gentlemen named by the chairman
were the severally nominated and elected directors; and,
after a vote of thanks to the directors and committee, the
meeting broke up at half-put two o'clock.
