SWITZERLAND.
The following is. the address with which the Pre-
sident of the National Council of Switzerland
closed its late session :

"Gentlemen,—We can now close our extraordi-
nary session, devoted solely to the Neuchatel aff dr,
for that matter may now be considered as termina t ed.
Wo may declare with joy that the termination has
been a fortunate one. When in Sept. last we received
a report of the Federal ColL ail on the events which
were pasting, and when we were summoned to de-
liberate on the question, public opinion declared
itself wot e and more loudly to the ffect that Svv itzer-
land ought to profit by these circuo,st vices to obtain
fer a full anintTsty to the royalists of Neuchatel the re-
cNnition of the complete independency of Neu. 11.,te1.
What we then considered as the object to which
we ought to direct our attention may be now re-
garded as attained. May we n.,,t be allowed to
c tngratulate ourselves on such a result ? and is it
not the more valuable that it has been o•ttained
at a time when little sympathy existed for the re-
publican States, and when relations with abroad
are difficult, particularly for petty States ? The
deli bera,ion of the questions which have become
the object of diplomatic relations in the legisla-
tive councils having numerous members presen s
different obst,cles. Gentlemen, you have act,d
in your deliberations on the questions of Neuf-
chatel with a prudence, a moderation, and a tart
which have b en justly appreciat-d abroad.
We likewise must all acknowledge with joy that
the excellence of our Federal institutions has been
completely confirmed by the conclusion of the
affair of Neuchatel. What the Fed-ral authorities
created by the present constitution of the Confele-
ration would not have been obtained at all, or could
only have hem attained with difficulty, or in
another manner, by the old Diet with its twenty-
two deputations bound by the instructions of their
Grand Councils. With the cry of The Confedera-
tion and Neuchatel for ever !' I declare this memo-
rable extraordinary session of the National Council
to be now closed."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCEf.
(Sittings at Westminster oeforo Lord Campbell and a
Special jury )
THE QUEEN V. CAPT. ERLAM.—ABDUCTION.
It having been rumoured yesterday that the trial of
CApt. Erlain, charged with feloey in the abduction of a
Jewess, named Rosa Goodman, removed by certiorari
into this court from the Central Criminal Court, would be
tried this morning, great interest was manifested as to the
result, and long before the hour appointed for the com-
mencement of the bu,iness of the court, the Court of
Queen's Bench was crowded by persons anxious to ob-
tain a sight f the parties and bear the details connected
with this extraordinary case. Lord Campbell, however,
to faciLtate the business of suitors, took special jury
ea-es in the Lord Chancellor's Court, whilst Mr. Jus ice
Wightman proceeded with common jury cases in the
usual Queen's Bench Court. Had therefore, the ca,o
been proceeded with, many, from not knowing the ar-
rangements, would have been disappointed.
On his lordship taking his seat,
Mr. Sergeant Snee said that it would be very conve
nient for all parties concerned in this case if, as the case
stood the seventh on the list, his lordship would allow it
to stand over till to morrow.
Lord Campbell said that it appeared to him that it
would be impossible to reach it to-day, and .that if either
of the parties was not quite prepared to go on with the
case to-day, he would acquiesce in the amplicatioe.
Mr. Sergeant Shee said he was not quite prepared
with the defendant's case, and he therefore asked his
lordship to al ,w the case to stand over.
Lord Caniptell—Very well.
The case therefore stands over for hearing to-morrow.

watches, the property of Charles Augustus Duve, from
the person of Johanna Duve.

Mr. Payne appeared for the prosectltion, and Mr.
Metcalfe defended the prisoner.
The prosecutt,r who is a watchmaker in the neighbour-
hood of Regent-street, said about ten days previous
to the date of the robbery, which took place on the
12th of May, be came to his shop, and
a-ked to look at a cerain article, but he did not pur-
chase anythit,g, and upon the day in question when

10 minutes, when a white was heard, and s,nisti .dy
outside gave a signal, and the prisoner immediately
the case and was :about to make off with it, Mrs. Dave
z?d him and a struggle ensued, doting which two at
the watches fell from the case, and the prisoner then
ran out of the shop with the property. Information of
the robbery was given to the police, and in a few days
afterwards the prisoner was brought into the shop, when
Mrs. Dove immediately recognised him as the person
who had committed the robbery. Upon being closely
questioned by th,, counsel for the prisoner, she said she
had not the slightest doubt as to the prisoner being the
person who stole the watches.

For the defence it was attempted to prove an alibi
which entirely failed.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It was here intimated to the court that the prisoner
had on a former occasion been convicted of stealing
plate, and had been sentenced to nine months' im-
prisonment and had only been out of prison a few
months during which time he had been the constant
associate of notorious thieves.

at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charred with stea•ir,g
seven and a half ‘ards of cloth value 28t., the property
of Benjamin Barron, taikr, No. 292, Oxford-street.
Henry Barron, porter to the prosecutor, gated that
about ten o'clock this morning ha wag down in the
area, when he saw the two prisoners go into the shop,
and in about a minute afterwards the prisoner
Pallassano ran out with two pieces of cloth under-
neath his arm, and the tickets hanging down from
tieneath his coat. Witness immediately came up and ran
into the street after the prisoner, with whoa> ha Calfle
up a few yards from the shop, with the cloth in his pos-
session. He directly collared him, and took him back to
the shop, where he found the pr,soner Rigt engaged in
c'nversation with the prosecutor. As eo ,0 as the pri-
soner entered the shop he dropped the Cloth, and swore
he had not touched it.

The proAecutor said about ten this morning the pri-
soners came into his shop, and Rigi asked to look at
some trousers, and while prosecutor was engaged in
showing him several patterns, he ob,erved the prisoner
Paila4sano moving about the- shop in a mast ,u,piclous
manner, and all at once he mi4Fed him Iron the shop
In about five minutes afterwards the prisoner was
brought back by the last witnes-,, who charged hint with
stealiog the cloth produced. Witness then sent for a
constable and gave them in charg.
The prisoners, who are su,pected at being concerned
in other robberies in the ci y, were remanded for a
week.

Lq'tivre, a Frenchman, was chargerl with
stealing nix plate bruit-le:4, vane 15,t., the property of
Mr. Cooper, brash maker, 61, P.cczoill y.

It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Simkins,
16 0, that this morning, about nine o'cl,,ck, he was on
duty in PiceaAlly, when he saw the prisoner go up to
prosecutor's shop and deliberat,ly take the brushes from
a book io front of the sh,,p and walk off with them. lie
pursued him o.nd took him into cut,to,ly.
A previous conviction having been proved against
the prisoner he was committed fur trial.

sour Er WA RK.—CLIARGE OF EIIiBEZZLEAIENT BY A
COMXIERCIAL TRAVELLER,—%ViIimn Goddard, a re•
spectable-looking ma,i, was brought before Mr. Comoe
charged with embezzling various sums of money, re-
ceived for and on acc,mnt of his master, Mr. James
Phillips, rope and twine manufacturer, Union-street,
Southwark.
Mr. Neale attended for the prisoner.

The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in
his employ as traveller and collector about two years,
and it was his duty to collect orders and receive money
from the customers, which latter he ought to have paid
over to wituess directly after receiving it. A short time
ago he had some suspicion as to his honesty in conse-
quence of the non-payment of several sums from custo-
mers who formerly paid so regularly. He inconsequence
went round to them and ascertained that he had received
about 201. in less than a month, which he bad nut
accounted for. Witness then called in a police-constable
and gave the prisoner into custody. He then admitted
having received the money and converted it to his own
use, and he begged to be allowed a day or two to see his
friends and settle the matter. Witness, however, re-
fu-ied to do so, and the constable took him into custody.
William Snoden, of 40, Red Lion-street, Holborn,
said he was a customer of the prosecutor and gave the
prisoner orders for him. Oa the 15th of last month he
paid him 31. Os. 7d. on his account, and the prisoner
receipted the invoice.

Two other cases of a similar nature were proved, when
Mr. Combo said they were quite sufficient for the
bessione.

Mr. Neale said that if his worship intended to send
his client for trial he should reserve his defence.
Tne prisoner was accordingly committed for trial.

TH A M.ES,
A VICTIM OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BAN/L.—Rh
Marian Garrard, or Jirrard, a widow, about fifty years
of age, of lady like appearance and good address, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing various
articles from her ready furnished lodgings.
Mrs. Louisa Plank, of No. 10, Leslie-street, Stepney,
said the prisoner hired ready furnished apartments of
her a few weeks since, and bad paid her rent very
irregularly. She had suspected the prisoner was con-
tinually robbing her, and her suspicions were confirmed
on Saturday, when she missed a new shawl worth two
guineas from her bedroom. She tax-d the prisoner
with stealing it, and after some hesitation the prisoner
delivered the shawl to her, and said she was going to
Pay a visit to a friend, and intended to wear it fur a
short time. Since then, she bad missed a blanket, sheet,
towel, and various other things, and discovered that the
prisoner had pawned them.
Joseph Jones, assistant to Mr. Tilley, pawnbroker,
produced a blanket, sheet, and towel, pawned by the
prisoner on the 29 Af of May and 13th of June. Tne pro-
perty was identified by Mrs. Plank.
Tad prisoner, who was deeply affacted and sobbed
loudly, said she had been involved in p,icuulary difficul-
ties, owing to the failure of the Royal British Bank, in
which all her fortune was invested. She had undergone
great privations, She would admit having pawned Mrs. ,

P auk's shawl and redeemed it again, just before the
pr discovered her loss. She pawned the other
thi,g, to procure food, aid intended to redeem them.
Her friewis sent her a small remittance oceasi,inally, and
when she had reeeivi d it she invariably paid Mrs.
Plank her rent. She had seen better days, and her
son, who was under a e guardianship of trustees, was
being educated at Cambridge University. She made an
urgent appeal to MN. Plank, who she said would soon
become a mother, to forgive her, and asked the magis-
trate to spare the feelings of a decayed lady and not send
her to prison.

Mr •Self asked the prosecutrix the value of all the
articles she bad missed,

Mrs. Plank replied about 203.
Mr. Sells a-mi the prisontr how she proposed to pay
tho prosecutrix ?

The pri.4), er—The lAter I receive every week with
a remittance shall be opened by Mr.. Plank, and she
may take a porcion of the money weekly' until the debt
is pail

M. Selfe said he was very sorry for the prisoner's
pecuniary difficul,ies, but she tva-i only making things
worse by pawning other peoples goods. Ile would allow
her to gn at large on entering into her own recogni-
sauces in the sum of 201. to appear on Saturday next.

The advices from Pcru received yesterday lead to the
hope that, now that Vivanco has lost his army and

REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE TO A BANKRUPT BANKER
—At the Bristol Bankruptcy Court ye.teruay, a certifi-
cate was refused to George Worrall Jones, banker,
Crickhowell. In his judgment his Honour (Hr. Com-
missioner Hill') observed that the Bankrupt Law was not
meant to hold out its benefit. to persons who systemati-
cally set at nought all the safeguards against ruin which
honest traders had devised for their owa pro ection and
that of their creditors, and which now formed the estab-
lished usages of commerce. In this case it-was quite
clear that the bankrupt bad neglected these safeguards,
and he must therefore now bear the consequences of the
conduct he had pursued.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE AND ITS END.—young
ladies of a romantic turn of mind may derive some
wholesome experience of the misery which awaits id-
assorted matches from a case now before the Paris tri-
bunals, in which a Madame Chabre seeks to be divorced
from her husband, Mons. Chabre, alias Lightning. The
lady it appears is the daughter of a noble Belgian family,
and she was some years ago possessed of beauty, youth,
and 7,2001. steiling. It happened that while visiting the
famous circus of M. Rjean, Brussels, she fell desperately
in love with the clown of his establshment, surnamed
Lightning, probably from the marvellous manner in
which he blazed away. She foil )wed the interesting
object of her passion to Paris, where she and Lightning
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. But the
ungrateful clown, after spending the property brought
to him by his romantic wile, •.eserted the latter, a,.d
flashed away with a young lady connected with Fran-
coni's, whose talents in jumping through no end of
paper hoops captivated his practical mind.
THE TURNER COLLECTION.—From a passage in the
account of the Turner C ,Ilection which appeared in The
Times of yeAerday, it might be inferred that we attri-
buted to Mr. Woroum the task of actual,y cleaning and
restoring these pictures. Tuts labour has been performed
with great skill by Mr. Bentley, of Sloane-etreet, Whila
on Mr. Wornuw fell the arduous duty of general super-
intendence and arrangement. In' this labour that
gentleman has been uoiuterrnptedly engaged tor several
months past, and to his patience and discrimination in
recognising these pictures, begrimed with soot aid
dirt, by the descriptions to be found in eLI catalogues.
the public, among otber things, are indebted for the
excellent inscription on each picture which fixes its sue
ject and year of composition. TO the carne gen let„a„
the public are also iniiebted for an excellent autherised
catalogue of the British pictures in the National Colleo•
wbich has recently wade its appearvaice,—Tinzes.
