SWITZERLAND.

The Suisse, of Berne, says—" After having col-
lected the most authentic information, we believe that
we may give the following as the result of the
elections of the sth of May, after taking into account
the observations presented by the Governmental party :
—Deputies of the Opposition, 110; deputies of the
Governmental party, 97 ; doubtful, 12. If the elec-
tions of Jegenatorf, Walden, Porentruy be in favour
of the Opposition, as everything announces,
the Oppositien will probably have a majority of
about ten votes. The deputies whom we class among
the doubtful are those who were proposed by both
parties, or those who for their moderate opinions
appear likely to lean to the Opposition, if it should
decidedly remain in the Liberal path, which it has
declared its determination to follow."

Great agitation prevailed at Berne on the 10th, in
consequence of the Conservative party having re-
solved to attack the Liberal students. The authori-
ties deemed it necessary to call out the troops, whereby
order was maintained.

GERMANY.

The sittings of the delegates from the cities of the
Zollverein, called together to consider the changes
in the tariff about to be proposed by the Minister of
Trade, will be concluded in a week or eight days.
The financial result of the contemplated alterations
in the scale of import and export duties will be a
reduction of the present revenue of the Verein to the
amount of 1,045,000 thalers. The loss on the duty
on articles of food is estimated at 571,000 algae

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The advises by the
America making the deficiency in the receipts of
cotton at the ports of the states 586,000 bales, have
added id. per lb. to the prices of most descriptions
in the Liverpool market. The effect on our Exchange
has been a slight enhancement of the quotations for
water twist, and for some counts and qualities of
male also. Both the shippers and home consumers,
however, have met this small requirement very
coolly ; for the most part contenting themselves, in
the absence of any urgent orders, with what was to
be had at previous rates ; yet thus, in many instances,
paying what they refused to give last week. We
have had some degree of irregularity in the prices
asked by spinners; but notwithstanding the inanimate
character of the day, and the limited extent of the
business effected, they have manifested much indif-
ference about selling, except on their own
terms. The tone of things is less favour-
able in the goods department. It is in
vain to ask higher prices. While the better
printing cloths are in moderate request at previous
rates, the lower qualities are rather more difficult of
sale than they were. Madapollams and low 6-4 jac-
conets are very flat, and inclined to droop in value
In 40-inch skirtings hardly anything can be done.
Contracts are still in existence to a considerable ex-
tent ; but as they run out merchants are not disposed
to renew them. Long cloths, TS's, and domestics are
again neglected; but the prices of last week are the
lowest that would be accepted.
ROCHDALN, MONDAT.—The flannel market has
been dull and inactive to•day, and prices stationary.
Wool has undergone little change, and the manufac-
turers continue to buy very sparingly.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAT.—We have still to note
business doing to a moderate extent in manufactured
goods ; several buyers have paid us a visit the last
few days. We hear, however, of weavers now waiting
for work, which may be owing to the change of
patterns for the autumn season. The throwsters,
although working full time, are in the same dull po-
sition we have noted for some weeks past. In the
raw silk market, some of the merchants having
lowered their pretensions upon the extreme rates they
were holding for, a few large parcels of Chinas have
found ready buyers at about previous prices ; in other
classes not much doing.
HALIFAX, SATURDAT.—The worsted trade eOn-
tioues steady, but by no means animated, and there
is no alteration in prices. The demand for yarn is
pretty much the same as it was, and the quotations
are Stationary. The wool market is quiet, and the
staplers are free sellers at late rates.

LBED!, TUESDAY.—We have had fair average mar-
kets at the cloth halls, both on Saturday and to-day.
The manufacturers continue busy, and stocks keep
low. There is a fair business doing in the ware-
houses, but the unfavourable weather has somewhat
curtailed the sale of spring goods.

The Wanderer has letters from Constantinople of

Sturmer's renewal of diplomatic relations with
the Porte, and immediately after his first official
visit to the Sultan, he received a note from
the Turkish Foreign-office, expressing the most
unqualified satisfaction on the part of the Most
High Porte with the late amicable resolutions of the
Vienna Cabinet, and declaring, since order was now
restored in Hungary and in the Austrian provinces
on the Turkish frontiers, that it was but natural to
look forward to the liberation of the Hungarian re-
fugees, and that any kind of restraint which the

The Wiener Zeitung of the 9th publishes the re-
port addressed to the Austrian Minister of Finance by
the commission charged to make propositions relative
to the organic disposition of the bank. It appears
from this report, which is dated February 26,
that the bank possessed only the sum cif
30,372,600 florins in cash, whereas the bills of ex-
change and other papers in circulation amounted
to 338,973,742 florins. The commission unanimously
recognises that the basis of the circulation
in Austria ought to be re-established in nume-
raryl and it proposes that in future al7 transactions

in petty trade shall be conducted exclusively on the
numeracy system whenever it does not exceed the
sum of 10 florins. The commission therefore pro-
poses that small copper coins of the value of
kreutzer, ditto, 1 kreutzer, and 2 ditto, shall be
issued; silver coins of the value of 5, 10, and
20 kreutzers, and of 1 and 2 florins ; and
gold coin of 5, 10, and 20 florins. The com-
mission also unanimously recommends that only one
species of paper money shall be put in circulation for
facilitating large negotiations, and that there shall be
a guarantee that these notes can be at any time
changed by the holder, at the national and branch
banks, for the coin of the realm ; that the only paper
money in circulation shall consist of that issued by
the National Bmnk, and that these notes shall not be
issued at a lower rate than ten florins.

EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY—Yesterday afternoon at

prehended at the George Hotel, in thiston

T. Bourne, the broker, and Mr. Langton, the
manager, of the borough bank, were again examined,
and spoke to the bills of exchange purporting to be
accepted by Mr. Rylands, the (chief manager of the
Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company,
Superintendent Towerson produced the two stamps
or frames of letters alluded to in the examination on
Saturday. The inscriptions on the frames were,
"Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company," and the
other, " Chief manager." He also found in the bag
a tin box, containing red paint. He had compared
the stamp with the impressions on the bills, and they
perfectly corresponded. He produced a piece of paper
on which there were some impressions of the stamp ;
also a piece of cloth with a preparation of red paint
upon it, together with a bottle of red ink. He pro-
duced two pieces of paper, one of which contained a
copy of a bill of exchange for 8541., dated the 2d of
October, 1849, and drawn by the prisoner, purporting
to be accepted by Joseph Rylands, per pro. Hull

FRANCE.

The President of the Republic, on the proposition
of the Minister of IVar, has removed M. Terchon
from the command of the battalionlof sapeurs-pom
peurs of Paris, and replaced him by M. Vives, who
was sent away by the men in a sort of iiiteute in the
days of February. M. Terchon, on that occasion,
was named to the command by the men them-
selves. In a report to the President on the change,
the Minister says :—" A double cause has induced
me to propose to you this measure. On :the one
hand, it will consecrate the restoration of the prin-
ciple of the inviolability of command by the recal
of the superior officer in whase person it was dis-
regarded ; on the other, M. Vives possesses in the
highest degree the aptitude which the re-organization
of the new battalion requires, by the profound
knowledge which he has acquired of the wants of
the service, and of the interests of this corps. On
the whole, the recall of M. Vivas will be a lesson of
high morality, which wil place in evidence the value
of dismissals pronounced by revolt, and of appoint-
ments it may make, and at the same time it will be
a pledge for the good and prompt re-organisation of
corps destined to render great services." The
old Legitimatist General d'llautpoul has com-
pletely " bamboozled" the President of the Republic
in the above case : for M. Vives read M. Louis Na-
poleon Bonaparte, and for M. Terchon read " the
Bourbons," and the occult meaning of the remarks
with which General d'lJautpoul concludes his report
will become evident.

whether personal arrest for civil causes is applicable to
a functionary in the exercise of his public duties;
having heard the opinion of the Council of State there•
upon, and considering that the law imposes respect
to public authority when i❑ the act of exercising its
functions, and that it is important to public order
that such maxim shall lie upheld: By the advice of
our Minister Secretary of State for Grace and Justice,
and having taken the opinion of our ordinary Council
of State, we have resolved to decree, and we decree ac-
cordingly as follows:—Art. 1. It is prohibited to proceed
for civil causes to the arrest of a functionary in the act
of the exercise of the public functions entrusted to him
by law. Art. 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Scarcely any English Wheat was on offer in to-day's
market. The demand, however, was far from active;
yet Monday's quotations were well supported in every
instance. Very few offers reached us from the East
coast to ship Wheats at ruling prices. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have been confined to 3,560 quarters,
chiefly from the Baltic. Fine parcels were held firmly
at the late advance. In the middling and inferior kinds
very little way; doing. Scarcely any Barley was brought
forward; grinding and distilling sorts moved off freely,
at full rates of currency; malting parcels were quite as
dear. We had a steady inquiry tor Malt, the prices of
which were well supportefj. 0 sts, the supply of which
was very small, sold at per qty!rter more money.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prito,at Guildhall, bdire Lord CAMP

HELL and a Common Jury.)
HETHERINGTON V. WCORMIC.
This was an action brought to recover damages for an
assault and false imprisonment.
Mr. Lush was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. O'Mal-
ley represented the defendant.
The plaintiff is a Parliatnentary agent and debt
collector, and the defendant is a tradesman residing
in Fleet street. It appeared that the plaintiff,
who had been an attorney in Ireland, having
been reduced in circumstances, came to England, when
he became connected with the defendant in certain busi
ness transactions, and in November last the defendant,
thinking he had some cause of complaint against the
plaintiff, gave him into custody on a charge of em-
bezzling 21. 45., as he (the plaintiff) was walking down
Fleet-street on his way to his chambers. Ile was then
taken before the police magistrate at Guildhall. by whom
he was detained in custody from the 19th of November
until the 16th December, and then discharged.
Witnesses having been called to prove these facts.
Mr. O'MALLEY addressed the jury for the defence,
contending that the reputation of the plaintiff had sus-
tained no injury. The charge against him only fell to
the ground for want of legal evidence to support it.
The plaintiff had himself admitted his moral guilt.
There were several charges of a like description against
the plaintiff, and on one of them he had been committed
to Newgate, though afterwards discharged. The defen-
dant, he submitted, was only liable for the imprison-
ment of the plaintiff until the remand took place.
Lord CAMPBELL told the jury the sole question for
them was the amount of damegPs. The plaintiff was net
entitled to damages beyond the time of the remand. He
thought this was hardly a case for nominal damages, as
the defendant had taken the law into his own hands.
The defendant had no: proved that a felony was com-
mitted; therefore it must be assumed that the charge
against the plaintiff was unfounded. The defendant had,
on the other hand, acted on very excusable motives
in giving the plaint:ff into custody, and that being so,
he (Lord Campbell) did not think it was an aggravated
case.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damagei,
one farthing.

Scarcely any English Wheat was on offer in to-day's
mark.t. The demand, however, was far from active;
yet Monday's quotations were well supported in every
instance. Very few offers reached us from the East
coast to ship Wheats at ruling prices. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have been confined to 3,560 quarters,
chiefly from the Bsltic. Fine parcels were held firmly
at the late advance. In the middling and inferior kin is
very little was doing. Scarcely any Barley was br, ught
forward; grinding anfl distilling sorts mosed off freely,
at full rates of cnrreucy; malting parcels were quite as
dear. We had a steady inquiry for Malt, the prices of
which were well supporteo. Oats, the supply of which
was very small, sold at 6d per quarter more money.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were unaltered in
value.

TURKEY.

The Wanderer has letters from Constantinople of
the 23d ult., stating that immediately after Count
Sturmer's renewal of diplomatic relations with
the Porte, and immediately after his first official
visit to the Sultan, he received a note from
the Turkish Foreign-office, expressing the most
unqualified satisfaction on the part of the Most
High Porte with the late malleable resolutions of the
Vienna Cabinet, and declaring, since order was now
restored in Hungary and in the Austrian provinces
on the Turkish frontiers, that it was but natural to
look forward to the liberation of the Hungarian re-
fugees, and that any kind of restraint which the

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prim., at Guildhall, lA' ,re Lord CAMP
BELL and a Common Jury.)
HETHERINGTON V. DI‘CORMIC.

Tbis was an action brought to recover damages for an
assault and false imprisonment.
Mr. Lush was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. O'Mal•
ley represented the defendant.
The plaintiff is a Parliamentary agent and debt
collector, and the defendant is a tradesman residing
in Fleet street. It appeared that the plaintiff,
who had been an attorney in Ireland, having
been reduced in circumstances, came to England, when
he became connected with the defendant in certain busi
ness transactions, and in November last the defendant,
thinking he had some cause of complaint against the
plaintiff, gave him into custody on a charge of em-
bezzling 21. 45., as he (the plaintiff) was walking down
Fleet-street on his way to his chambers. He was then
taken before the police magistrate at Guildhall. by whom
he was detained in custody from the 19th of November
until the 16th December, and then discharged.
Witnesses having been called to prove these facts.
Mr. O'MALLEY addressed the jury for the defence,
contending that the reputation of the plaintiff had sus-
tained no injury. The charge against him only fell to
the ground for want of legal evidence to support it.
The plaintiff had himself admitted his moral guilt.
there were several charges of a like description against
the plaintiff, and on one of them he had been committed
to Newgate, though afterwards discharged. The defen•
dant, he submitted, was only liable for the imprison-
ment of the plaintiff until the remand took place.
Lord CAMPBELL told the jury the sole question for
them was the amount of damages. The plaintiff was net
entitled to damages beyond the time of the remand. He
thought this was hardly a case for nominal damages, as
the defendant had taken the law into his own hands.
The defendant had no. proved that a felony was com-
mitted; therefore it must be assumed that the charge
against the plaintiff was unfounded. The di f -ndant tied,
on the other hand, act d on very excusable motives
in giving the plait tff into custody, arid tha, being so,
he (Lord Campbell) did nut think it was an aggravated
case.

The jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damage
one farthing.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
The second sittings at Nisi Prins, in the city, were

lic interest or importance.

GLUTA PERCHA TUBING is not decom-

for household purposes. Gutta Percha sheeting is also valuable for

tion to the Gutta Percha Company Patentees, 18, Wharf-road, City-

High Porte had hitherto thought it a duty to place
upon the refugees must now, of course, be dis-
pensed n ith.
" The prevailing opinion," adds the Wanderer,
"is that this last phrase is intended as an official
announcement to the Courts of Russia and Austria
of the impending liberation of the refugees at
Kiutahia, and of the employment in military ser-
vice of those among the fugitives who have adopted
the Mahometan creed. The Porte, placed as it
is under the guardianship of five Powers, was com-
pelled to have recourse to that note for the purpose of
declaring its intentions respecting the renegades, for
in so far as Kossuth and his companions are con-
cerned the Porte is strongly supported by the Em-
bassies of Great Britain and France."

Pills.—Ext ract of a letter from Mr. Patrick O'Regan, dated

For fifteen years I suffered severely from dropsy, and frequently
so bad that I could not move, and for weeks together I was
unable to fie down. I have been tapped five times, and under
the treatment of various medical men, without obtaining any
permanent z elief. Seeing in one of the Dublin papers the
wonderful cure of 11r. Robinson, of Wootton, -I determined
in giving your Pills a trial, and it is with gratitude that I in-
form you that your admirable medicine has completely cured
me also.—Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's
