smallest degree desiring to dictate a

priate candidates, we would suggest that a better re-
presentative could scarcely be desired by the old con-
stituents of Mr. COBDEN, now that that eminent man
is called elsewhere, than Alderman KERSHAW, the
honest commercial and political reformer of Man-
chester. Should the Right Hon. THOMAS BA.BING.
TON MACAULAY find the fascinations of his literary
pursuits superior to those of Parliamentary life,
the electors of 'Wolverhampton will act wisely
in securing in their service the probity and
the intellect of Mr. ROEBUCK. In another direction,
the vacancy which has occurred in Greenwich, in
consequence of the sudden demise of Mr. E. G.
BARNARD, a Liberal of long standing, and of unsul-
lied reputation, affords an admirable opportunity for
the return of Mr. HAWES by a metropolitan consti-
tuency. If THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE recovers
from his present serious indisposition we shall regard
the Liberal cause as unusually fortunate.

are to be constructed to be drawn up. At the passage of
Brunig, in the Obwald, the works of the fortifications are
being pushed on actively. Hundreds of men are there
occupied, and gatherings of troops and inspections take
place continually. Heavy artillery has been brought to
Lungern. A citizen of Berne, M. Oswald, Registrar of
the tribunal of the district of Oberashli, whilst pro-
ceeding to Sarnen, received from M. Bril.chgi, at Lun-
germ advice to return, if he would not expose himself
to disagreeable treatment. These hostile demonstra-
tions with respect to the federal resolution cause,
among the people of Berne, sentiments of which yo 3,
gentlemen, can appreciate the character when you are
told that the government of this canton has been
strongly solicited to send arms and ammunition to the
frontier districts."

The Federal .Assembly decided that this document
should be sent to the Committee of seven members
nominated in the preceding sitting.
The Bdle Gazette of the 4th announces that the
Vorort, in consequence of the resolution adopted by
the officers of the Sonderbund, has addressed a cir-
cular letter to all the officers of the seven cantons,
calling upon them to declare before the 10th their
position and relations with regard to the Sonder-
bund. They are required to say whether it be their
intention to maintain a position incompatible with
their duties as federal officers. If they send no
answer, it will be presumed that their intentions are
incompatible with their federal duties.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. Those of Friday contain a report of a
scene in the Chamber of Peers, in consequence of
Viscount DunoucrtAoE having read a letter from
M. WARENEY, which had been published in the
papers, in which that 'gentleman, as a delegate from
Bona, charges Marshal SOUL; General St. YON, the
late Minister of War, and several other high per-
sonages with having made concessions of mines, &c.,
in Algeria, for corrupt purposes. The Viscount de-
manded explanations, but the Minister, as usual, de-
clared the charges unworthy of notice, and refused to
institute any inquiry. This refusal, after the revela-
tions which have taken place in the Teste affair, is,
certainly, very suspicious. As the Union Monarchlgue
justly observes
