to him their co-operation." The Prince replied by
"rendering homage to the heroic rising which had taken
place in different points of Poland ; and then declared his
resolution to serve it with all his means, which he said
would, with the co-operation of the emigrants, undoubtedly
increase. It would then be possible to give considerable as-
sistance to the country, and to obtain for Poland allies, loans,
and the universal support of public opinion. He accepted
with joy the offer of the co-operation of the Society, and the
example of the sacrifice which it had just given. He could
not forget that Poland alone could name a chief or a national
government. He would continue, in order to serve the
cause, to appeal to foreign nations in the name of Poland;
but he would be ready to give daily the first example of
obedience to the manifestations of the national will." It
was agreed at this meeting that a declaration iu
the name of the whole body should be published
next day (Sunday), expressing sympathy with their
countrymen, and entire identity with the movement which
had taken place. But if the intelligence in the Frankfort
Journal of the 6th inst. is to be credited, the Russians have
already struck a terrible blow at the insurrection. The follow-
ing appears in that paper, dated "Nuremberg, March 4:—A
letter from Vienna, of the 28th, states that Government had
just received intelligence of the burning of Cracow. The
Russians had arrived with such rapidity that the insurgents
were unable to oppose any serious resistance, and the Rus-
sians, in the midst of a terrible bombardment, seized on the
town,!?

It appears by accounts from Berne to the 4th inst., that
political affairs in that quarter were in a very critical state.
An extraordinary session of the Grand Council was held on
that day, when the report of the Committee on the declara-
tion signed by M. NEUHAUS and eight other Councillors was
taken into consideration, and considering that by such de-
claration these members had placed themselves in opposition
to the positive decisions of the Grand Council, and that such
a state of things might have produced injurious consequences
to the most:precious interests of the State, the Grand Council
decreed as follows :

" MM. the Councillors of State, Neuhaus, Weber, Steinhauer,
Lecbundgeet, Begler, J. Jaggi, Schmalz, Bandelier, and Dahler shall
be deprived of their functions of members of the Executive Council.
The Grand Council regrets that the declaration of the Councillors of
State, dated January 27, 1840, should have given rise to misunder-
standings and created a want of confidence. Nevertheless, con-
sidering the necessity of insuring the maintenance of order and peace,
and also of the regular administration in the canton of Berne, and
trusting in the loyalty and patriotism of the nine Councillors of State,
the Grand Council decrees that nothing further shall be done in this
affair. It is also recommended to the Executive Council to hold with
firmness the reins of the State, and to watch over the strict and com-
plete execution of the laws until a new order of things shall have
replaced the present authorities."

In consequence of all these unfavourable accounts, as well
as the depression in the English Funds, and a fabricated
rumour of disturbances at Placentia, in Lombardy, the Three
per Cents. fell on Sunday to 83f. 80c.

THE DIVISION ON THE Coax-LAws.—After twelve nights'
talk, the House of Commons divided on Saturday morning
last, the 28th ult., at about three o'clock. By six o'clock the
same meriting we had delivered to us, through the courtesy
and spirited exertions of the proprietor of The Sun news-
paper, a copy of that Journal, containing a full report of the
debate, and the numbers on division, and which we published
in a second edition. The special engine which brought the
news, arrived at Cambridge in one hour and twenty-five
minutes from Shoreditch. —Cambridge Independent.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
5,000 bales, including about 500 American for export. Prices
were firm. Shares continued dull, and at heavy rates.
Amidst the interest and excitement felt in respect to the
Oregon dispute, the chances in favour of a more liberal tariff
in the United States seem to attract but little attention.
That the subject is of importance to our mercantile cont.
munity there are few, however, vho can dispute. The pro-
posed new tariff is described by a party writing from New
York to be u throughout on the ad valorem principle,
and, therefore, is much mere simple in its details
that the present, which Act is filled with specific and mini-
mum duties. The greatest defect in the Tariff Act of 1842,
next to its highly protective features, is the imperfect man-
ner in which the duty is levied, and the great difficulty ex-
perienced in regulating the specific duties. Au ad valorem
tariff must be more equal in its operation, provided proper
rules exist, in establishing the valuation of property import-
ed. Under the present Act, the duties levied upon the same
aitcles vary at the same port of entry, and the average rate
of duty upon some articles is nominally small, while the
actual-duty ranges very high. Specific duties create, at
all times, a great deal of difficulty, and if the system pre-
sented by the Secretary of the Treasury, professed no other
merit but simplicity, that alone would entitle it to be
adopted. The variety of rates of duties levied under the pre-
sent tariff upon almost the same articles is very great, in some
cases specific, and in others ad valorem. A modification of
the tariff, aiming at the reduction, and the establishment of
the ad valorem principle throughout, must make this Act as
near perfect as possible, and give it a permancy never en-
joyed by any previous Bill of this character. There is not
such a great and general revolution in the duties as antici-
pated; the average under the new Bill, so far as we are able
to judge, will range somewhere between 20 and 25 per cent.
The average under the present tariff, according to the impor-
tations of 1845, was a fraction over 29 per cent."
There are no later arrivals to-day with intelligence of in-
terest.

transfer are 95% to %, and for time, 953 A to 96. The trans-
fer books for the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are now

guese Four per Cents. 551/2 to 56. Belgian Four-and-a-Half
