The steamship Hibernia, Capt. Ryrie, ar
rived at o'clock yesterday morning She
sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst.
Annexed is the tcicgraphic view Of the
news. 1t Is important to the Commercial
community.
The British Parliament, for some days,
had been cnglgel with the subject of trad,
and the financial condition Of the country.
1t is expected that measures OF a salulary
character would be introduced.
The state Of Ireland is truly frightful.-
The land rceks with assasslnatons, from
one end TO the other. Government has pro-
posed coercion bill ola very mild and mo.
deratc character.
In Switzerland, the civil war has been
virtually terminated, by the surrender of
Lucern TO the troops Of the fedcralis:s. The
SunIcrbond is deserted and thus tho hopes
Of the JeSui's are fully pros,ra,cd
The affairs of l:a'y are in u fair way for
adjustment Tho Pope has opened the new
Council Of State of the Vatican. and his
speech elected unmixcd appreciation.
The Royal Bank Of Liverpool, the stop
page Of which caused so much exci,cmc:t
at the time, has resumed business under ia.
vorablc circumstances.
The Asiatic cholera is stated to have ad-
vanccd to the Prussan frontier.
The Prcssc of Paris. states tha, the Unit.
ed States government has purchased the Is.
lands Of Lyra from Greece, and will at once
pay of the mortgage due. This is Grccll
to us.-HeraMl
The WARM Sw1rzERLASp.-Thc war
in Switzerland is at an end We have re-
ceived letters from Lausanne of the 2Olh
ult., which states that on the previous day
the Canton Of Valais had capi,ulatcd, and
that on the morning Of the 2S:h the fuIcral
troops entered the territory and took posses
sion ofthc Canton without opposition. The
Canton Of Uri has also Cap,uatci, so that
the was is everywhere put down, and the
Sunderbond is at an end.
The note of the Prussian Government to
the Diet, has created sensation in Bernr,
and Tears were entertained that it might lead
10 further complications. The Journal dcs
Debats appears to fear (or to hope) that the
consequence oft will be the Immediate oc-
cnpation of Neufchatcl by the federal army.
"e have no such apprehensions.
The Diet has throughout the whole
war shown a decided wish not 10 push mat
tcrs further than was absolutely necessary,
and it is not, therefore likely tha, it will al
low itself to fall into the error of invading
Neuichatel, at the very time when the Eu-
ropean Powers have their united mediation
We connot, however. hel lp saying that the
note OF the Prussan government is to be re-
GREETED 1t is calculated to exasperatc the
people of Switzerland, and cannot by any
possibility lead to any good.
AFFAIRS OF ITALY.-The movement in
Italy has spread to the Island of SARDINIA.
The last letters from Leghorn state that
order had been re-eStubished. The arminr
OF Tuscany was being forwarded with grea,
zeal.
IRELAND.
We regret 10 state that crimes and out
RACES continue undiminishcd in Ireland, -
The state of Tipperary, Clare, Wcstmcath.
Kings County, Roscommon and Limerick
is most deplorab!e. 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 the remaining parts of the coun-
try. that 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 llltated Ire
land arc almost all written in the same un-
varying fatal characters Of blood. The pres
sure of want amongs, the people, serious as
1t undoubtedly Is, appears secondary in in
tensity to the insane desire of destroying hu-
man life. The lives of the best benefac,ors
Of the people seem more peculiarly devoted
to sacrafce. A depn,ation of ,hirty-two IT.
