The whole of the pits and furnaces belonging to the compauy are in full operation, and the advance will take place Worcatershire Chronicle.  roltEraN.  Civil war has commenced in Switzerland, by an attack on Lucerne, in which, it is said, from 800 to 1,000 were killed. The particulars are given elsewhere. The French Government have presented to the Chamber of Deputies a Bill, demanding a credit of 28,700,000 f, for the improvement of the ports of Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, F camp, Granville, and others.  In the Chamber of Peers the discussion en the Colonial Administration Bill had commenced. The Minister of the Marine detailed at some length the object of the Government, which was to introduce into the colonies elements to promote the welfare of the slaves, to give them moral instruction, an encouragement to legitimate mai riages, and an efficacious repression of abuses. On all these points the Government and the Committee were perfectly agreed in their opinions. There was, however, he said, one important point on which they differed: The Committee wished the reforms to be all effected  immediately, whereas the Government were of opinion that it should be done by degrees. The Bill excites great interest. Miss Louisa Bingham, eldest daughter of W. Bingham, Esq., of Philadelphia, niece of Lady Ashburton, and grand. daughter of the late Hon. Allin Chartier de Lothiniere, was married at Paris, on Wednesday, to Count Olivier de Boisguilbert. The France Meridionale of the 29th ult. gives some additional details of the insubordination of the law pupils at Toulouse. " The lectures," says this journal, " which were interrupted by the Easter holidays, were to continue on the Friday. after. The students arrived in great numbers to hear the lecture of M. Massal, but when they beheld that the measure which they complained of was maintained, they withdrew, notwithstanding the friendly representations of the rector, who was pleased to be present at the first sitting. The students continued to assemble, and used riotous lan • guage, until the arrival of the troops. They then dispersed in great agitation." Accounts from Rome state that further political arrests have been effected at Ravenna, by order of the military commission. The number of persons now in the prisons of that city for political offences amounts to upwards of 100, about twenty of whom belong to the first families in the province. Among them are Counts Cappi, Gamba, Vicarj, MM. Dellavalle, Camerano, &c.  Considerable sensation was created last evening in the neigbourhood of Great Queen-street, Holborn, by the announcement that the murderer of the unfortunate woman, Mary Brothers, had been captured in a court leading off the above street. We made inquiry on the subject, and found that the information we had received was correct. It appears that Superintendent Pearce, having received some communications on the subject, paid a visit to the lodgings of the party charged with this diabolical murder, and was fortunate enough to apprehend the individual in question. His name is understood to be William Cannon, his age is about 19, he is a smith, working with his father in the Haymarket. Superintendent Pearce, on taking the prisoner into custody, informed him of the nature of the charge against him. It is not stated in what way the prisoner met the imputation. He was immediately conveyed to the Bow-street stationhouse, and messengers were at once sent off to Mr. Oldham, the cutler, of High-street, St. Giles, and to the woman Palmer, the servant to the brothel, who attended very soon afterwards. Both of them, without hesitation, identified the prisoner; the former as knowing him to be the purchaser of the knife found in the wound in the unfortunate woman's neck, and the latter as bt ing the person who accompanied the deceased and engaged the room where the murder was committed. We are not aware that the prisoner was in any way influenced by the recognition by these parties, but, as stated by Mr. Oldham at the ingdest, the prisoner is a young man not more than twenty years of age, very sallow in complexion, and nothing very remarkable in his appearance. These are all the accredited facts that have trans, pired to this time respecting the prisoner.  ,
