SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne of the 25th says that M. de
Karniki, the Austrian Ambassador, had not taken
his departure, but was selling of . his carriages,
horses, &c. He contemplates, it was said, taking
the waters in the canton of the Grisons. Part of
the Austrian Embassy was, as already stated, to
remain to dispatch secondary affairs.
The Court-martial of Friburg has condemned the
cures Deily and Perrier, chiefs of the recent insur-
rection in that canton, to twenty years' imprison-
ment with hard labour ; and the other accused to
from one to fifteen years' imprisonment. Thesen-
tences are in accordance with the Federal military
laws. The accused have been besides jointly con-
demned to the costs.

MOVING TABLES.—A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian, who is described by the editor as a person
who stands second to no individual in that city in point
of social position, intelligence, and personal honour, says
"I, with three others, utterly disbelieving the reports
about moving tables, tried the experiment. A common
painted small tea table, having one stam and three feet,
was placed on an oilcloth, on which also our chairs were
placed. We sat placing the palms of our hands flat on
the table near the edge, each person joining the tips of
of his own thumbs, and also joining the tips of his little
fingers with those of his neighbours, thus forming a circle
round the table. In fifteen minutes there was a move-
ment of the table from right to left, which continued
until we were obliged to leave our seats to follow oui
hands, which we kept fixed on the table. The motion
increased in rapidity, and we became both dizzy from
moving round and tired with the circular length of the
walk, or rather run. I tried to stop the table by pres-
sing very heavily and succeeded. It would not go on
again, and it was some time before we discovered that
the jerk of stoppage had disunited two little fin&..-ers. Iu
a minute after these were rejoined, the table recom-
menced its rapid motion. We then agreed to wish the
table to turn round the opposite way, and it did,"

THREE O'CLOCK.

Sir John Key
Mr. Benjamin Scott

Majority for Key l4
Throughout the whole of this day the polling for the
office of Chamberlain was of the most severe character ;
perhaps we should .not be far wrong in stating that
scarcely has its equal for severity ever been known
in the instance of a similar election.

Mr. Scott's friends at nine o'clock possessed upon the
gross poll of, the previous days a majority of 25. Half
an hour after the opening of the poll to-day they in-
creased that majority to 27 ; at ten o'clock it reached 29 ;
at half-past ten, 32 ; and at eleven, 35. From that hour
the friends of Sir John Key worked most energetically,
the majority of Mr. Scott being gradually reduced to 13,
the numbers at two o'clock showing that that gentleman
was then so far in advance of his honourable opponent.
In order to show the extreme exertions in the meantime,
between the hours of eleven and two, made by all
parties, it may be be well to say Mr. Scott's votes over
Sir John, at half-past eleven, were 31 ; at twelve, 18 ;
at half-past twelve, 20 ; at one, 12 ; and at half-past one
the same number ; and at two 13. From two to three
an unmistakeable rush was made by the friends of Sir
John Key, who came to the poll in such numbers, that
.by lialf-past two Sir John had obtained over Mr. Scott
a majority of 7 votes ; and by three o'clock, the close of
the day's poll, the above-named majority of 14.
During the day there voted for Sir John Key 361
liverymen, and for Mr. Scott 322 ; total number of
voters polled to-day, 683 ; since the commencement of
contest, 4,828.
The announcement of the numbers was received with
vociferous cheering.
Order tatting been in some degree restored, Sir John
Key and Mr. Scott addressed the livery. Both of the

their respective friends not to abate their ardour until
the victory was complete.
Certainly for many years this contest has no equal.
The excitement throughout the City is general, and in
the vicinity of Guildhall during the day it was extreme.
Everything, however, passed off with the utmost good
humour, and all parties retired, evidently determined to
do their best to secure the election of their acknowledged
candidate.

To-morrow (this day)"the polling will be resumed as
heretofore, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of this clay.)

MANCHESTER, May 27.—American advices to the 11th
inst. and subsequent accounts to the 14th inst. show that
disappointment at the tameness of the Liverpool market
had occasioned a decline of fully c. per lb. in the price
of cotton at New York and New Orleans. The
total receipts amounted to 3,017,000 bales against
2,742,000 at the corresponding date of last year.
The Liverpool market has continued inanimate since
our last advice ; yet cotton has quietly gained in value,
and is found by purchasers to be id. to id. per lb.
dearer this week than it was a fortnight ago. In this
market, the prices of yarns have exhibited a gradual
upward tendency ; and, taking an average of the me-
dium and lower counts of mule and water, in all forms,
we consider the advance to be id. per lb. within the last
16 days. Last week, there was a complete interrup-
tion of business after the Tuesday's market ; but, since
the holidays, there has continued to be a good
demand, both for shipment and for home consump-
tion. The rise of prices has undoubtedly restricted
the operations of buyers, and yet sales to a
considerable amount have been effected. Alto-
gether, the position of the spinner has latterly been
undergoing an improvement in consequence of the
price of his production having risen more than that
of the raw material. For jacconets, madapollams,
the lower qualities of 40-inch shirtings, T cloths,
and 7-8 and 9-8 printing cloths, there has been a
steady demand at rather higher rates. As regards
domestics, the situation of the manufacturer, which had
slightly improved, is again changed for the worse, and
that very decidedly, by the advance in yarns, which
cannot now be made into cloth except at a serious loss.
However, a rapid reduction of the stock, which has
pressed so heavily on the market, is now taking place.
This leads many to look for a speedy improvement.
NOTTINGHAM, May 26.—The lace and hosiery trades
are each in a less healthy state than we have had occa-
sion to report for some time past— the latter being
to some extent overdone by too large a production.
The dulness with respect to the former is owing to
fashion being at present decidedly against us except for
silk goods, for which there is yet a tolerably fair de-
mand. Silk is yet scarce and very dear, as is also
cotton for each trade, and their does not appear to b
prospect of any immediate reduction in the price of eitl
one or the other.—Nottinghain Journal.

LOWER CANADA.

Four fine Freehold Estates,cornprising 132,02 acres, deserving the

attention of the enterprising Capatalist.
MR. ROBINS is favoured with instructions to
submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
London, on THURSDAY., June 2, at 12, together or in Lots,

The Four singularly-important Landed Estates of the GASPE

FISIIERY and COAL MINING COMPANY.

Containing altogether 132,6 b 2 acres of land in Lower Canada,
upon which the finest timber is growing, exempt from all seignorial
rights, and held in free and common soccage, with indisputable titles.
In these days of emigration to the West, which seems to offer the
greatest attractions to the really industrious, these Estates present
to the speculator an unusual opportunity to employ his capital
(under the influence and protection of the British Government) with
every certainty of a large return

1. The Estate of PA BOS consists of 51,840 acres, near the entrance
to the Bay of Chaleur, the boundary commencing at the Great
Pabos River, and extending three leagues from the coast into the
interior. Several extensive and substantial buildings have been
erected at this station for carrying on the fisheries, and are all in
good order; and the Estate produces pine, spruce, cedar, and birch.
2. The Estate of NEW PORT adjoins the Pabos Estate, and con-
tains 10,394 acres. A valuable water-power saw mill has been
erected on this property, which is near the fishing establishment of
the Company, where capital buildings have been erected well calcu-
lated for this branch of the business. Pine, spruce, cedar, and birch,
are produced on the Estate.
3. The Estate of PORT DANIEL is a good harbour in the Bay of

PETERBOROUGH.

The committee appointed to inquire into the allega-
tions in the petition against the return of Mr. George
Whalley for Peterborough, assembled for the first time
to-day at 12 o'clock.
The members of the committee were Mr. K. Seymer
(chairman), Mr. Philip, Mr. Shafto, Mr. J. H. Hamil-
ton, and Mr. Geach.
Counsel for the petitioners—Mr. Sergeant Kinglake,
and Mr. Edwin James ; for the sitting member—Mr.
Sergeant Allen, and two other learned gentlemen.
Mr. Sergeant Kinglake opened the case in behalf of
the petitioners. The substance of the petition was, that
the election was brought about by bribery, treating, and
other corrupt practices on the part of the sitting mem-
ber and his agents. A scrutiny was also prayed for,
Mr. Cornwall Lewis, the defeated candidate, claiming
the seat, on the ground that he had a majority of votes.
The numbers polled were, for Mr. Whalley, 233
votes, and Mr. Cornwall Lewis, 218. The elec-
tion took place on the 4th of December last, a vacancy
having been created by the death of Mr. Fitzwilliam,
the late sitting member. In the course of the election
Mr. Whalley gave a monster tea-party, at which 500
persons were present, and it would be shown that that
had a very seductive influence upon the wives and chil-
dren of voters. As many as twenty-four public-
houses were kept open by the sitting member. Three
days after the election a dinner was given
by him at the Great Northern Hotel. The tickets were
ss. each ' • and 110 guests were present, and Mr. Whalley
paid 381. for the wine consumed by those present.
There could be no doubt that the dinner was given for
electioneering purposes—the majority of the guests being
voters.

GENERAL POST-OEFICE NOTICE.—Newspapers posted
in the United Kingdom, and addressed to St. Thomas,
or any other Danish colony in the West Indies, will in
future be forwarded by packet free of charge, provided
the usual regulations for the transmission of newspapers
by the post be duly observed. Any newspapers for the
Danish Colonies, in the West Indies, which may be
specially directed to be sent " by private ship," will be
liable hereafter to a postage of one penny each, instead
of to a rate of twopence, as formerly.
Four estates in Lower Canada, the property of the
Gasp Fishery and Coal Mining Company, containing
about 133,000 acres, are ordered for sale by public auc-
tion on Thursday next, through Mr. Robins. This
large and valuable property, some portion of which is
so advantageously situated, is justly described in that
gentleman's particulars. A further interest is attached
to the sale of a portion of these lands, as the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada is intended to run in the im-
mediate vicinity of such portion. As an emigration
scheme it may be said to possess every desirable feature.
Should the whole of the property be sold, it is not un-
likely we may see another company spring from this,
and which might meet with considerable favour in the
eyes of the emigrating world if the terms and conditions
are drawn up and offered to the public on a fair and
liberal basis.

London, England, 1853-05-28

EXCISE DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL.

This bill went through committee, pro forma, and was
ordered to be reprinted.
. REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. HADFIELD expressed a hope that the second read-
ing would not be pressed then, although it was intended to
refer the bill to a select committee.
Mr. T. EGERTON said the bill had met with consider-
able opposition in the country, and he could not consent to
the second reading, unless the noble lord the member for
the city of London would allow evidence to be taken by
the committee.
Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to give the com-
mittee power to call for papers and to take evidence, be-
lieving that they would exercise it discreetly, but he could
not consent to postpone the second reading for the sake of
discussion, as it would be much better to discuss the prin-
ciple and details of the bill when it came down again from
the select committee. (Hear, hear.)
After a few words from Mr. Saunders, Mr. I. Butt, Mr.
G. Palmer, and Mr. Hindley,
Mr. FREWEN empressed a hope that the hon. gentleman
the member for Cirencester, who took a deep interest in the
bill, and thoroughly understood it, would bo placed on the
committee. (Hoar, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL promised that he should.
The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be
referred to a select committee.
WAYS AND MEANS.

The house went into committee of ways and means; but,
as it was merely pro forma, immediately resumed.
The Copyholds Bill went through committee, and the
Convicted Prisoners' Removal, with some amendments,
was also put through committee.
The Burgh Harbours (Scotland) Bill passed through
committee.
London, England, 1853-05-28

GERMANY.

The King of Wurtemberg arrived on the 21st at
Baden, where he will remain a few weeks, under
the name of Count de Teck.

Domiciliary visits have recently been made by
the police at the residences of some students at the
University of Bonn, and some prohibited books
and pamphlets seized. This measure took place in
consequence of orders from Berlin.
The Provisional Council of Liegnitz, in Saxony,
has just enjoined the local tribunals to give informa-
tion of any emissaries of the Mormons, who may
arrive in their districts, in order that they may be
expelled.
The Archduke Maximilian of Austria left Mo-
dena on the 18th for Vienna.

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette
of Frankfort, states that several Lombard emi-
grants have taken steps to be allowed to return to
Austria, without being exposed to any penalty,
and to obtain the removal of the sequestration from
their property. The Government' is stated to be
favourably disposed towards these applications.
London, England, 1853-05-28

to vote against the amendment. Perhaps the com-
mittee would allow him to explain a former vote
that he gave. He voted in favour of the amendment
of the honourable member for Hertfordshire, because
he did not approve of the budget. The hon. member for
Montrose voted against it because he was in favour of the
budget.
Mr. KIRK made an appeal to the committee in favour
of the clergymen of all persuasions, who he thought ought
not to bear this tax when their incomes did not ex-
ceed 1501.
The committee then divided—

For the amendment
Against it

Majority

On the gallery being re-opened,
Mr. BARROW was found addressing the committee.
He was understood to complain of some injustice towards
tenant farmers in the mode of assessing the income tax,
and urged that they should be assessed on the same princi-
ple as landlords and tradesmen.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if he
understood the hon. gentleman's proposition aright, it was
one he could not accede to. The tenant had the same pri-
vilege as the landlord by means of the appeal that was
given him. It would not be fair, after taking his rent as
a standard, that he should be allowed to make deductions.
Mr. BARROW repeated his objection to the existing
mode of assessment, and said it wouldbe impossible for a
farmer to prove the value of his stock at the beginning and
end of a year, as a tradesman -could do.
After a few words from Mr. VANSITTART,
Mr. W. MICHELL moved an amendment in line eight
of the clause exempting the first hundred pounds of
income from duty, on all incomes below 5001. a-year.
The hon. gentleman created some amusement by dis-
cussing the proposals contained in the customs resolu-
tions, and ridiculed the idea of reducing the duties
on rose-water, cards, and cameos. Especially he ob-
jected to the reduction of the duty on cocculus indices.
If they encouraged the use of such a noxious drug
and drank pale ale, they might see Death on the pale
horse. (Loud laughter.) The lower classes were pressed
upon by the whole of the budget, all the remissions of
taxation were for the good of the wealthy, except the re-
duction of the tea duties. The soap remission, he thought,
would do very little good for the people.
Colonel DUNNE then moved that the chairman should
report progress.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested
that they should first dispose of the clause.
The committee then divided—
For reporting progress
Against it l3O-99
Lord J. RUSSELL protested against these repeated
motions to report progress' and he was surprised that hon.
members persevered with them when they saw that they
were going against numbers and against reason. As there
was no prospect of getting on with the bill now, he would
agree to the motion that they do report progress.
Mr. SPOONER objected to the words against reason,"
as there was no prospect of reaching to the end of the clause
to-night, and therefore it could not be against reason to re-
port progress.
The house then resumed, and the chairman reported pro-
gress, and obtained leave to sit again.
