The And de la Constitution states that there are in Lucerne
1,602 prisoners in all, and that the number of wounded
volunteers there is 150. The dead have been buried-30 at
Malters, 40 at Litton], and 9at Lucerne. Several persons, it
is said, perished in the Emme. Amongst the priseners are
180 Bernese, and 694 Argovians. No person whatever is
admitted to see the prisoners.
A Zurich journal estimates at 40,000 Swiss livres (59,000
francs) a day the expense of the army embodied by the
Federal Directory; a charge, it adds, which will fall heavily
upon the cantons, which have already been impoverished by
extraordinary expenditures of ever kind.

Abyberg, had advanced to the frontiers of Argau, where they

The Journal des Debats inserts a letter from Berne of the
Bth inst., which states that the arrival of the federal troops
in the canton of Argovia, appears to have anticipated that
of a corps of Schwartzbuben, mountaineers of Soleure, who
intended, it is said, to excite the inhabitants to a revolt, and
afterwards to unite themselves to the army of Lucerne and
of the small cantons. The Argovian militia disorganised, in
consequence of the recruiting made by the free corps and of
the loss of their chiefs, killed or made prisoners at the attack
of Lucerne, were gradually repairing their losses, and might
in a few days be fit to occupy the country.

The case of Connell and Gandy, which was tried at Liver-
pool, is one of considerable importance to the commercial
world. It was an action brought by a depositor in the Isle
of Man Bank against the defendant, who was represented to
have been a shareholder in the bank at the time it stopped
payment. The bank was not formed under the provisions of
any Act of Parliament. The defence was that the common
law of partnership did not apply to joint-stock companies,
and that Mr. Gandy having ceased to be a share-
holder in 1840, although the fact of his retirement
was not publicly gazetted, had ceased to be liable.
The jury, however, under the direction of the Judge, found
for the plaintiff. His Lordship, in the course of his summing
up, said that there was no legal difference between a firm of
six and one of 600 persons, and that the person who held
himself forth to the public a partner in such a firm was bound
to make the fact of his retirement public also, in order to re-
lease himself from his liability. There were several actions
of a similar nature in which a similar verdict was taken, and
these concluded the assizes.
