The unfortunate victim labored under the

was foolishly and impruden.ly told by some
person to run away from his pursuers which
he did, and ran into the water, where he
was drowned He leaves a widow and a

SwITzERLAND.-Th city of Friburg has ca
ptulated tie the federal troops without strik-

tial law, which however, had not been entorc-
ed. On the srme day the provisional govern
ment issued decree banishing the Jesults, and
the other religious orders from the territories
of Friburg.
The Canton of Zug also capitulated to the
federal troops on the Dist ultlmo.

BigotrY.

We have generally found, in our short ex
perience, that those who cry out most against
the bigotry of others. are themselves the great
est bigots-have the least charity for others
are the least willing to admit that there is any
possibility of their being wrong themselves. or
of those who differ from them being in the
right They set their own judgment up as
supreme, and require every body to bow to
their decisions. Such characters are the most
contemplate of any that can be found in the
community.

Arrival of the llibernia.

FIFTEEN DAYS LAT FROMEUROPE.
The Steamer Hibernia arrived at Boston
o'clock Saturday morning.
We are indebted to H. L. Richardson, ESQ,
of this city, for copy of Wilmer & Smiths
European Times.
The Times says, it is gratifying to be able
to announce that marked improvement has
taken place during the past fortnight in the
aspect of commercial affairs. The value of
public securities has advanced, and there has
been less stringency in the money market gen.
orally. The resolution of the Bank of Eng
land to reduce the rate of interest to per Ct,
which was promulgated on the Cd inst will
tend still further to restore confidence, and en-
able holders of produce to sell their various
commodities on more favorable terms.
At present. however, the markets for foreign
and colonial produce are depressed and this
fact coupled with the failures which occur at
intervals in ali parts Of the country, throws a
gloom over our prospects, which the amelora
ton Of the money market does not effectually
remove. In the manufacturing districts there
is somewhat greater activity with more hands
employed, whilst on the other hand large bod
les of men are being discharged from the vari.
Gus railway works which have been suspen-
ded"
The price of best American Flour may be
quoted at Dos, being lower than previous pri-
ces. The imports of Wheat continue to be
moderate, but quite adequate to the consump
ton. 1t appears to be the intention of Gov
eminent to avoid coming into the market for
Corn for the supply of the destitute Irish.
Cotton had declined l-Sd.
Forty-three more failures had occurred in
England and ON the Continent since the Brit
ANNA sailed
! Parliament assembled on the 18th ult.
| The Royal Bank of Liverpool, reopened its
! doors on the lst inst, for the transaction OF
! business.
| Crimes and outrages continue undiminished
in Ireland. The state of Tipperary, Clare,
Westmouth, Kings county, Roscommon and
Limerick is most deplorable.
In France numerous meetings continue &c
be held in favor of electoral reform. M. Gud-
in, late aid del camp of King Louis Philippe
had been punished ny fine of 1000 francs
and three years Imprisonment, for cheating al
c r1s.

The President Rebulzed.

Our readers have seen that the resolution
offered by Mr.. Wentworth of Michigan, pas
sed the House by vote of l3S to "a. This
resolution declared that Congress possesses the
power to appropriate money to improve rivers
and harbors, and is in direct opposition to the
views of the President, as expressed in his late
message in relation to the River and Harbor
Bill. Thus over two thirds of the members
of the House are pledged to sustain appropri-
atoms which the President says are unconsti-
tutional. This vote is a severe rebuke to the
President, and cannot fail to have great effect.
1t is blow struck at his infalibility by his
own party, for he finds but few among them at
the North who dare defend him. The princi-
pies he lays down are secuted by Congress,
and will be secuted by the people. We are in
hopes to see, ere the close of the present ses-
President carried through both houses by a
two thirds vote. Thus will the money of the
nation be employed for a better purpose than
supporting war of conquest. Strange ideas
man must have of the constitution, who be-
lieves that it authorizes the expenditure of
money to purchase foreign territory and carry
on foreign war, and yet forbids the payment of
cert to improve out natural resources, to
protect our commerce!
