Inc steamship Hibernla, Capt Ryrie, ar

sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst.
Annexed is the tclegraphic view of the
news. 1t is important to the Commercial
The British Parliament, for some days,
had been engaged with the subject otlrldc
and the financial condition Of the country.
1t is expected that measures Of a salutary
character would be introduced.
The state Of Ireland is truly frightfnl-
The land recks with assass,natons, from
one end to the other. Government has pro-
posed a coercion bill ola very mild and mo-
dcratc character
In Switzerland, the civil war has been
virtually terminated, by the surrender Of
Lucern to the troops of the fedcralis;s. The
SunderbonI is deserted and thus the hopes
of the Iesui,s are fully prostrated.
The affairs of Italy are in Il fair way for
adjustment Tho Pope has opened the new
Council Of State of the Vatican. and his
speech elected unmixed appreciation.
The Royal Bank of Liverpool, the stop
page of which caused so much excitement
at the time, has resumed business under ia
vorablc circumstances
The Asiatic cholera is stated to have ad-
vanccd to the Prussian frontier.
The Prcsse of Paris. states tina, the Unit
ed States government has purchased tho Is,
lands of Lyra from Greece, and will at once
pay of the mortgage due. This is Greek

IHE WARIN SWIrZERLAND.-Thc war
in Switzerland is at an end We have re-
celved letters from Lausanne of the Goth
ult., which states that on the previous day
the Canton Of VaIais had capi,uatcd, and
that on the morning Of the 2Sth the federal
troops entered the territory and took posses
Sion ofthc Canton without opposition. The
Canton of Uri has also Capi,nlatel, so that
The was is everywhere put down; and the
Sunderbond is at an end.
The note of the Pru$sian Government, to
~
and fears were entertained that i, nigh, lead
to further complications. The Journal dcs
Debats appears to fear (or 10 hope) that the
consequence oft will be the immediate oc-
cupation of Neufcha,el by the federal army.
We have no such apprehensions.
The Diet has throughout the whole
war shown decided wish not to push mat
ters further than was absolutely necessary.
and it is not, therefore likely tina, it will al
low itself to fall into the error of invading
Neufchatel at the very time when The Eu-
ropean Powers have their united mediation.
We connot, however, help saying that the
note Of the Prussian government is to be re-
GREETED. 1t is calculated to exasperate the
people of Switzerland, and cannot by any
possibility lead to any good.
AFFAIRS OF ITALY.-Thc movement in
Italy has spread to the Island of SARDINIA.
The las, letters from Leghorn state that
order had been re-estublished The arming
OF Tuscany was being forwarded with grca,
zeal.
IRELAND.
We regret TO state that crimes and out
RACES continue undiminishcd in Ireland, -
The state of Tipperary, Glare, Westmeath.
Kings County, Roscommon and Limerick
is most deplorable. The offences perpctra-
ted in these six counties bring sad stain
upon the history of Ireland, and render it
absolutely necessary, for the preservation of
the peace ofthe remaining parts ofthe co,,n-
try, that a rigour beyond the present laws
should be exercised by the Government, for
the protection of life and property The de-
tails which daily reach us from lll-faied Ire
land are almost all written in the same un-
varying fatal characters of blood. The pres
sure of want amongst the people, serious as
it undoubtedly IS, appears secondary in in
tensity to the insane desire of destroying hu-
man life. The lives of the best be nefac,ors
OF the people seem more peculiarly devoted
to sacrafice. A deputation of thirty-two IT.
ish members, headed by Mr.. II. Grattan,
waited upon Lord John Russell, on the 25th
