      *\ Ana I -will war , at least in -words , ( Ana—shoMmy chance so happen—deeds ) , "With all who war with Thought !" " I think I hear a little bird , - who sings The people by ana by wai be the stronger . "—Btbon . S WITZERLAND . —THE JESUITS—THE " HOLT ALLIANCE . " Notwith s t a nd i ng the immense aids and appliances -nth which the despotisms of Europe are surrounded ; not w ithstandin g the hu g e armies , the truculent priesthoods , the base writers , and corrupt politicians which are at the command of the European Government s , to keep down liberty , and stay the progression of nations ; notwithstandingall this seeming strength , rottenness is at the base , and the canker-worm of corruption at the heart of the tyrannies , old a nd ne w , which , begottenbyfraudandforceuponignorance and disunion , have so long outraged the earth , and made -the world a hell of suffering and tears . The recent events in Switzerland prove the truth fif this assertion . Because the Swiss are divided

      into two parties—the one , Conservative and lederalist ; the other , Democratic and Unitarian—because the one favours the educational rule of the infamous Jesuits , and tlic other has proclaimed war to tli 9 death against the hated sett ; because the Swiss Lave shown some indications to settle iheir differences , as ancry men often will , by blows ; because of these thnij ; .- ; , the " strong Governments " and the " great powers" have well nigh y 5 ne into tits , fearful lest "the jic-. ii-f of Europe" should be "disturbed . " wliich in plain English means , fearful lest should a » a « 7 t ? arise in the heart of Europe , the strife being for princi i &t , die conflict might become contagious , in which case sceptres and crosiers , crowns and mitres , thrones and altars , might , perchance , have but poor chance of cscaj . e from the European ov « rtJow of the democratic Java .

      Disgust and contempt cannot fail to have been excited in the brcasfcs of all true men who have watched the diplomatic doings of England , Trance , Austria , and the other despotisms In relation to the Swiss troubles . Swagger and fear are so nicely mixed that it is difficult to say which preponderates . Jnsolcut in the consciousness of the brute force at their command , t h ese "big bullies" threaten the brave Swiss with foreign intervention . At the same time dreading a trar , in which nations as well as armies might ultimately take part , the whine of affected forbearance and hypocritical moderation is made to ludicrously mingle with the impudent threats aforesaid . Their threatening and their whining alike exhibits their terror . The despots are conscious that their idol of brass has but feet of day . The Helvetic Confederation is divided into

      twentviwo cantons , comprising , we believe , about two millions of a population . The constitution for the general Government of the country is federal ; that is , similar to the constitution of the United States . As in the American union , so in the Helvetic Confederation , each canton or state provides for its own Menial government , and the cantonal constitutions pay be either aristocratic , shopocratic , ordemocratic , just a 3 the vox populi may decree . But as in America so in Switzerland , the whole of the cantons are bound together by a federal compact represented in a general Diet or Congress , which Diet discusses and decides upon the foreign relations of the republic , and all questions affecting the safety and well-being of the entire nation . Three of the cantons are

      firstdas , or directing cantons , known by the name of " Vorort , " each rulin g fo r _ a special term . These three are Berne , Zurich , and Lucerne . At present Zurich is -the governing canton for the term of two years , dating from the 1 st of January last . As in all old countries , the aristocratic principle dominated in most of the cantons , until within the last few years , Switzerland was certainly for centuries in name a Republic , but in fact was really a col-Section of oligarchies , in which , as in most other countries , the few ruled the many . Of late years this , to a certain extent , has been changed . Radical revolutions have within the lasi fifteen years taken place in several of the cantons , and constitutions on an ultra-democratic basis have been established in

      several . __ These changeshaveof course excited violent animosities between the defeated aristocrats and the victorious people ; hence one cause of the agitation which has pervaded Switzerland for some time past . Another exciting cause of dissension has been that prime cause of division and disunion inall nations , religious intolerance . Themajority of the SwissarePro testants , but alnrge minority are Catholics . In most instances , we believe , Protestantism and Radicalism are f o un d co-existent , whilst , where Papacy remains entrenched , aristocracy also remains intact ; though to this rule there are exceptions , Catholicism and Radicalism being in some parts found hand in hand . Indeed , in Switzerland , as in all other countries , the Democratic principle is marching onward , and penetrating even the remotest fastnesses of ignorance and fraud .

      The first cause of the present agitation is , that the Government of the Catholic canton of Lucerne thought proper to recall the expelled Jesuits , appointing seven of them to superintend the education jf the youth of the canton . A large number of the Lucemese themselves were opposed to the introduction of these priestly instructors , a n d rose i n arms tgainst the Government . They were , however , de' eated—a number killed , others thrown into prison , their property confiscated—and subjected to other ' unishment . In their attack on the Government , the insurgents were assisted by "free bands" from ither cantons ; and this invasion , nay , the existence if the "free bands , " is another bone of contention ; the authorities of Lucerne demanding reparation for

      the invasion of their territory , and the disbanding of he " free bands" themselves . The insurrection in Lucerne—the interference of other eantons with the ifiairs of that state—and the object sought to be accomplished by the insurgents and invaders , inmieliately excited the greatest agitation throughout the xrantry . The Catholics regarded their religion as ittacked in the persons of the Jesuits , and the Conservatives declaimed against the invasion of Lucerne is a violation of the state sovereignty , and an inringement of the general compact . On the other land , the Liberals burned with resentment for the lefeat of their friends , declared the introduction of , he Jesuits info Lucerne to be inhnu » nl to the liberiies of the entire confederation , and demanded the

      ntcrference of the General Diet to expel the Jesuits ; ailing in which , they vowed to expel the hated iemselvesbyforce . But another cause of agitation is to be found in lie alleged aim of the Radicals to annul the federal f tnpact , and make of Switzerland one united lie-> ublic . It is this alleged design of the Radical arty that has mainly excited the fears of foreign [ overnments . A great Republican state , " o ne and aiUrisiblc , " formed in the very heart of Europe , uust of course be most distasteful to the crowned ffigands . It is hardly necessary to add , that such m example would in all probability be fatal to the jower of surrounding despots . Hence then * alarm ; Hfflce their diplomatic notes and threats of interven-; ioiL

      ^ Thus tne three questions which at present distract Switzerland are—1 . The Jesuits . 2 . The Free Bands . 3 . The Reform of the Federal Compact . To stay the agitation , and settle the differences « tween Lucerne and tke other cantons , the 'Vorort , " or Directory of Zurich , summoned an ijrtraordinary Diet . The Diet -was summoned : but now came the allinporUuit question of what should be the instructions » iveu to the deputies from each canton ? The depu-3 es to the Diet are appointed by the cantonal Counsils of State . Upon their election taking place , the leputies receive instructions as to the votes tbev

      diall give upon each of the special questions for the liberation of which the Extraordinary Diet has iccn convoked ; and these instructions result from •( solutions put io the vote , and d e cided by the majority of the Council . The Council is itself , during Its sittings , obli ged to give attention to the popular voice ; and now comes an illustration of the say " they manage these things In Switzerland . " In tlie canton of tie Pays de Vaud , the people , to the numb er o f thirt y-two thousand , petitioned the Countfl io vote its instructions to" the deputies , for the spulsion of the Jesuits from the Republic ; on the apposite side , onlv one thousand eight hundred petitioned for flie non-interference of the Diet . The Council , bv a majoritv . responded to the latter ,

      and - voted for non-interference against the wish &f the mass of the people—the result was , the people rose en masse against the Council . In a few hours 15 , 000 of the petitioners appeared in ^ "iiis , and by moral fora —( not a gun was fired , not a drop of blood shed )—compelled the Council to abdicate . Wldle their hands -were in , the gallant v ? udoi 5 thought tlievmi « lit as well kill two birds ^ th one stone , and as they had " put down " the fawureis oftheJesuits , theymightaswcll " putdown " aristocracy at the same time . Accordingly , the consututioii of the cxelusives was overthrown , and a wmi ^ T Soverninent formed , ch a r g ed with the X * wframinjr a new constitution , the basis of tfSfi ^ m U fcnvEBBiL ScEFiUGE .

      and , having no means of resisting , the members resigned « n masse . On the 14 th , at half-past two in the afternoon , the people held a general meeting in the Place de Jfouthenon , -when several resolutions were adopted -calling upon the Council of State to yield to the wishes of the petitioners , and afterwards to dissolve itself , in order that a constituent assembly might be elected in its stead . The meeting afterwaros proceeded to the election of a provisional gOvemment , of which thefollowing are themembers : Henri Bruez , Councillor of State , President ; Louis Blancheray , Jules Muret , H . F . Scher , Member of the Grand Council-, Jean Schopfer , Jean Mercier , Charles Veillon , Jacques Verest , Louis Bourgeois . Messrs . Muret and Schopfer not being accepted , Messrs . Briatte and Wenger were substituted for them . The provisional government

      immediatel y published a proclamation announcing the change which had been made and the resolutions of the meeting . In the evening of the 11 th an immense number of people from the country round Lausanne arrived in the town , and on the morning of the 19 th another meeting of people - was held , -which -was attended by more than 15 , 000 persons , most of whom were armed . This meeting declared the Grand Council dissolved , and immediately called on the people of the canton to meet and elect a new Grand Council ; and it also passed a resolution to the effect Oial all eithens , without exception , tcere entitled la vote at elections . The meeting also resolved that the new Grand Council should be entrusted with the reform of the

      constitution ; im&tauliloKnasabasisof that constitutiontdtich would iifi imperative on Oie Council of Stale , O , c est < M ' uhn > ent of trial by jury , the reorganization of Hie tribunals of justice , and the r . i < ij ! : ? n <; of Oie ch ' d and penal Ikiks wore democratic . The meeting afterwards adopted instructions to be given by the deputies of the Cantou de Yaud to the Diet . These instructions arc the same as those proposed by the minority of the ex-Council of State . —Messrs . Bruez and Briatte were elected deputies to the Diet . The meeting nufehed by resolving that those occupying public employments should be dismissed , but that they should continue in their functions till their successors should be appointed , provided they adhered to the principles of the revolution , the new Provisional Government was afterwards

      installed at the Castle , amidst the acclamations of the people . This is the glorious revolution which the mendacious Editor of the Times has the brazen eflrontcry to denounce as " on e of t h e most outra g eous of p o p ular movements" onrecord ! Ofallliars , of all miscreants , surely the most detestable are those who , commanding the press , sell themselves and prostitute their pens to do the dirty work of despotism . Compared with such , Jcdas was truth and purity's very incarnation . It is unnecessary now to dwell upon the course pursued by the other cantons , previous to the assembling of the Extraordinary Met . Some of the cantons ,

      like the Vaud , instructed their deputies to demand the expulsion of the Jesuits from the whole of Switzerland ; some of them , like Geneva , wished merely that the Diet 3 hould join in a friendly but pressing invitation to Lucerne , to rescind its decree relative to the Jesuits ; and others , like Friburg , protested against all interference , declaring that the admission of the Jesuits into Lucerne was an act of sovereignty on the part of that canton , which the Diet w a s incom p et e nt to interfere with . On the 24 th of February the Extraordinary Diet assembled at Zurich . The session was opened by a speech from the President , from "which we g ive the following extracts : —

      The first cause of the agitation which has seized upon a great part of the Swiss people is ineontestibly in the recall of the order of the Jesuits to theological instruction at Lucerne . Already , in the Diet of 1844 , the dangers which a number of the confederated states anticipated , were pointed out with force , both in the fact of the propagation of this order in the midst of Protestant and Catholic populations , and in the political influence which it exercised on one of the three directories . In this point of view , the letter of convocation of the directory has clearly and faithfully exposed these apprehensions ; it includes the expression of my most intimate conviction ; but these warnings have remained without effect . The Sentiment of attack on its dignity and ri ght prevailed in theoanton of lucerne . It is in vain that Zurich again

      amicably made a last attempt ; we have more than ever acquired the experience of the path entered on , when the Confederated members cling to what appears to them admissible by the terms of rigorous right , and that without impartially weighing the consequences which this obst inacy may bring on our common country . To this sad experience , on the other side , are joined the most alarming manifestations—the territory of a sovereign state has been violated in an unqualified manner , by the free corps of the other cantons , and the free corps hare attempted to overturn the order of things existing in this state . These undertakings are not met with any repression , and the gvnlty parties have remained unpunished . Ho deeper offence could be given to the federal compact . Since then , in the interior of Switzerland , all have been constantly under arms , in the fear of a new disturbance .

      In fine , the constitutional authorities have been worsted in one of the most flourishing cantons , because they did not vote an inquiry in the suuse desired by a part of the population . In another state public tranquillity has been gravely troubled by the same cause . It is useless to dwell longer on the imminent dangers which menace the federal affiance , should questions of the deepest gravity not ne decided by the authorities in virtue of a mature examination , but by decisions produced by acts of violence . To remedy the evils of the country , to re-establish and consolidate the peace which has been profoundly disturbed between the confederates , such is the principal taslc of the supreme federal authority . To the cantons only belongs the finding of proper means to do so , and to apply them .

      I shall endeavour to direct your deliberations with impartiality and calmness , and I shall look to your kind assistance . The liberty of deliberation will be in no way invaded . This is guaranteed by my canton and its people , ¦ who are Hxe Mends of order . I declare the Extraordinary Diet opened . We shall resume the subject next week .

      W 0 M ) ERS op THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH . The electric telegraph is one of the finest applications of abstract science to the practical uses of common life . It furnishes a proof , and a striking one , of the proposition , that the pursuit of abstract truth , for its own sake , is a duty always incumbent on those who have the qualifications for successful research , even where the immediate consequences of that research present no apparent value , and where the cui bono cannot be clearl y determined . Abstract truth is one of the noblest objects of human pursuit , and will endure long after the practical -uses to -which we may apply it are passed away .

      Scientific truth is , nevertheless , inevitably the parent of good , and its votaries are ever benefactors . The philosopher is a philanthropist and a patriot , even though he may hot always , like the Sage of Syracuse , be able to overthrow the enemies of his country by the engines of his science . Even while lie seemingly trifles , he may be achieving the highest p ur p oses of life . The primitive electrician , when rubbing on his sleeve the bit of amber or wax with which to hunt afeather through the air , was preparing the first steps to a valued discovery . The thunderrod of Franklin and the thunder-belt of Harris originated in the chamber amusements of philosophical speculation . When Galvani was making dead froHs dance on the table , he was preparing f o r one of

      the most important inventions ot recent tunes—the Electric Telegraph . Since the time of the Marquis of Worcester , if we except the steam engine , there has not appeared any invention more congenial to such studies as his , or more worthy of his genius , than the eleetrictelegraph . It is the realisation of his wildest dream , and more . " How , at a wind o w , as far as eye can discover black from white , a man may hold discourse with his correspondents without noise made or notice taken ; and a way to do this by night as well as day , though as dark as p itch is black , " was one of his rarest devices . " How , from your cham b er , to hol d discourse with your corres p on d ent 100 or 10 0 0 miles di st a nt , so that your questions asked , and commands given , shall pass more rapidly to his ear or eye , than they would

      if spoken to the same person standing within the w all so f vour chamber '" this is the more astonishing problem * of which we have now the solution in the electric telegraph of Messrs . Wheatstone and Cooke . The electric telegraph now on the South-Western Railway is the most important yet erected in this country , in many respects . First of all , it is to perform the usual functions of an electric telegraph for the railway , communicating orders and messages along the line according to the instructions of the directors and managers . Next , it is to serve the important use of communicating between the Admiralty here and the naval establishment at

      Portsmouth . Tor this purpose , we believe , the communication will terminate in the Admiralty at Whitehall , at this end of the line , and in the apartments of the officer in command , at Portsmouth . \ U presume that a similar commmunication will soon be effected with the Arsenal at Plymouth . The Soutli Waleslines may also carry the telegraph to Milforu , another of our dockyards , and thus it will take place that orders will , at any in s tant of time , with the quickness of thou g ht , be transmitted to the great naval stations of the country from head quarters , and from each to any of the others , or information be returned from them to head quarters , with greater speed than they could formerly be earned from the

      Untitled Article

      great room oj the Admiralty to the secretary in th e adjoining apartment . The energy which , in case of emergency . this would infuse into every department of the service , must be of incalculable service to the country . For all p ractical p ur p oses , the dockyards and arsenals of our navy may then be considered as trans p orte d from their p resent r e mote s itu a t io n s i n t o the very board-room of the Admiralty , at Whitehall . This is the second use of the telegraph of the Southwestern Railway : the third is to throw open to the public this means of communication at the office of the railway company on the payment of a very small fee . When the use of this shall have become general , you will make appointments for conversation with your friends , not by taking a journey of eighty or

      ninety miles to London , Southampton , or rortsnioutn , but by each party attending at the hour of assignation at the respective telegraph offices in the town where they reside . You will then enter the office , take a chair , and ask the telegraph , "How do you do , Thompson ? " At that moment the telegraph will sa y , " How do you do , Thompson ? " to your seated friend at the other end in Portsmouth . He will then , of course , reply , through the speaker of the telegraph at your own end , " Itlmnkyou , Smith , I hope your gout gives you less trouble this fine morning . " T h ese preliminaries over , more important matters may be entered on and discussed , without impediment , until the quarter of an hour you have paid for is expired , and von have to civo war

      to your successor and his amiable friend . This is not a hypothetical ease—but was , mutatis mutandis , the commencement of our own first interview ( parlance rathei ) through the South-Western Telegraph . An important point is established by this telegraph , which Jiad not formerly been decided , It was doubtful how tar weather might interfere with tlie transmission of the electric current . The sleets , th a ws , a nd f ogs that have interv ened sinc e it was er e ct e d have given ample * opportunity to judge of this effect . It is found in fine weather the power of the current is not sensibly impaired even by transmission through eighty miles ; that is , the indication produced is nearly as strong at the further end as at that from which the signal is transmitted—the diminution of

      power being not above five or ten per cent , in fine weather . Mr . Wheatstone has employed a beautiful little yolta-metric apparatus for the purpose of detecting this difference . It is an ingenious modification of the usual apparatus for the decomposition of water , rendered much more delicate . By this , it appears , that the greatest amount of loss by transmission through twice 88 or 170 miles , is in the worst circumstances fifty per cent . By using powers therefore of double the intensity required in the most favourable c i r cumstances , he finds it easy to insure the perfect working of the apparatus , even in the most unfavourable condition . The general arrangement adopted on this line is that wliich Mr . Cooke and Mr . Wheatstone , after

      their experience , now considerable , have discovered to be best . The wires which communicate from one end of the line to the other , are no longer closed up in a concealed iron tube , but are conspicuous to the travellers in passing along the line . All along the railing there are upri g h t po s ts , erected at equal intervals , which rise higher tJian tlie top of the carriages , and along the tops of these posts continuous wires are carried in a manner similar in appearance to an ordinary wire fence . Thus all is visible and accessible , so that if defects should arise tliey aro at once detected and easily remedied . The wires depend by p orcelain e y el e ts from the p osts for the pur p ose of insulation , and are protected from corrosion by being covered with zinc . These arrangements are now so practicall erfect to leave little to be

      y p as more desired . Two methods are used to communicate the words from one end to th 6 other . In one plan there are two wires employed in the work—these wires are independent of each other , and give the signals by affecting each one needle . Two needles serve to give all the letters of the alphabet . The attendant stands before a plate like tlie face of a clock ; on it are seen two hands or pointers ; both these point up and down when they are affected by the electric current . When the attendant wishes to make the instrument work he turns a handle to tlic right , this puts a coil on the right in communication with the positive side of the battery and affects , the needle to the right , and tlie moment the attendant sees this motion take place

      he immediately returns the handle to its former position ; the action ceases , and th e needl e havin g made one oscillation to the right , hangs vertical as at first . He has thus made one signal , for the wire which he pl ac ed i n c o mmunication with the b a ttery at this end , ends in a coil on the right of a needle at the other end of the communication , and causes it to deviate to the right at the same instant with the deviation of the needle at this end . The operator at the other end lias thus seen exactly what the operator at this end has done—in short , the needle at bis end makes exactly the same deviation to the right which the needle at this end has done , and at tlie same

      instant . Tins deviation may , if we please , stand for the letter A . Let us next suppose that the second needle at this end is , by a egcoiu ^ handle , made to deviate also to the ri g ht , and again to hang straight down . The second needle at the other end at the same instant deviates to the right and then hangs down ; this shall stan d , if you please , for the letter R : the attendant at this end now turns both handles at once to the right ; both needles at both ends deviate simultaneously to the right , and being seen by both are then allowed to lapse into a state of rest—this double deviation may stand for the letter E . The letters now transmitted form the word

      The attendant next makes the first needle deviate to the right , restores it , and instantly makes it deviate a second time—at both ends the first needle has made therefore a double oscillation to the right : let this stand for the letter Y . ne next gives the second needle at both ends a double oscillation , and thi s stands for the letter O—and a double oscillation of both needles to the right , and at both ends , indicates the letter U . We have thus the letters indicated at both ends of the word

      y ou . The attendant next repeats one oscillation of the secon d nee d le to the r ight , which g ives us at first the letter R . One oscillation of both to the right gives , as formerly , the letter E ; one oscillation of the first needle to the right gives the letter A ; all without a new character . Let us now begin with oscillations to the left . Let one oscillation to the left on the first needle stand for D , and a double oscillation to the right being Y , and we have already transmitted the last word of the question ,

      READY ? Tlie answer may be returned by a double oscillation to t he ri g ht for Y , a single oscillation on both for E , and a single oscillation to the left , on the second needle , for S . So thai you are assured you are unde r st o od , and have your reply back over eighty-eight miles in the word ,

      YES . Thus , b y th e co mbin a ti o n of s i ng le o sci l lations with double and triple oscillations , either singly to the right or left , or simultaneously to tlie right or left , you get all the characters of the alphabet from a couple of needles . And you do so by the motion only of two handles by the two hands of the operator , which do not require to leave the instrument for an instant . This may be done nearly , if not as rapidly , as common speaking—certainly more rapidly than vocal spelling of the words . This very simple combination is , we believe , Mr . Gooke ' s .

      A second method is by an exquisite little combination of Mr . WheatstonVs . The letters of the alphabet are all engraved round a circular wheel . To speak you only turn each letter round to a fixed point , and the same letter is shown through a small hole to Ihe reader ai tiie other end . This method is most ingenious—to the inexperienced , it seems tlie easier and simpler—any one , bv very alight instruction , can thus _ talk confidentially to his friend at the other end , without the presence of a third party ; but the mech a ni s m is too com plicated to be understood by a description , without mechanical illustration .

      We have thus endeavoured to impart to our readers some of the im p ressions which a visit to the t e legra p h has made on ourselves . We think they will understand as much of its nature as to convey to them a sense of the great value of the invention , and the important influence it may exercise . Railways are messengers of civilisation , peaceful links tending to bind countries in tics of closer intercourse ; as guarantees of peace , they protect from war . The electric telegraph will accompany them . They are now covering the Continent —• extending across the desert—about to span India irom Calcutta to Bombay . Wliere will they stop ? There is a railway now on its way from Petersburgh towards Moscow ; will it stop there ? The direction of that line , if prolonged , leads to China . Between Petersburgh and Pckin there is scarcely a hill ; Moscow is , therefore , but a first-class station on tlie way to Pckin . We will not speculate on the date of the

      completion of such a line just yet , but return to what is imminent ami in sight . From London to Southampton there is now an electric telegraph . Mr . Wheatstone is now on his way to Paris for the arrangement of a telegraph in France . It may soon be completed from Havre to Paris ; from Paris to Mar seilles there will be a continuous line of railway , and a telegraph on it ; thus we reach the Mediterranean ; thence Egypt , across the desert , and so to Bombay and Calcutta . We may cross to Belgium , where an electric tclegmpli already exists . We shall SOOn have one continuous line to Venice ; then across the desert , and finall y from Calcutta to Bombay , as before . Does such a prospect , so clear , so certain of bringing so near home our many friends and brothers now in the other hemis p here , not bring home to our hearts the conviction that we are just entering a career of social improvement , based on scientific ttiscovery , the beneficial effects of which it is difficult to foretell , but impossible to over estimate ?

      The South-Western Telegraph is not yet open to the public , but we hope it soon will be . Our readers will be glad to learn that the authors of the invention are among thefew who reap the reward of scientific research in pecuniary form . Government pay ,

      Extraordinary Occurrence at Ilfracombe . — Between five and six o ' clock on Thursday morning a tremendous land-slip took place from ihe top of Hillsborou g h , opposite the entrance of the harbour , from a height of more than 400 feet , down to a spacious beach at the foot of the cliff , filling the broad beach completely , and estimated at more than 1 , 000 tons . Just as thisslip took place a sloop was entering the harbour . The men on board , not expecting such a fall from the cliff , were not a little astonished . The crash was awfully grand . Portions ef the cliff have continued to fall during the day , and the crown of that m ajes ti c hill is materiall y altered in appearance . —North Devon Advertiser .

At ten o'clock

      m the evenin g ofth e Sth , the g un p owder de po sit ed in tlic stores of the park of artillery took fire , blew up that building , and occasioned the destruction oi various others situate between it and the Admiralty , which was fortunately spared . A portion of tlic eascniatcd rampart , placed between the old Spanish tower , called Pcgnon , anil the harbour , and the houses built against that rampart , were entirely destroyed , a n d t he ir i nh a b it a nts b uried under the ruins . Tlie pavilion occupied byM . Palard , the subdirector of the artillery , the quarters of the operatives of the artillery , and engineering departments , and the dwelling of the Commissioner ot Marine , were levelled with the ground . The house of M . Segretier , the director of the harbour , experienced thesarae fate ,

      with the exception of the parlour , in which were then assembled some twenty persons . Shortl y b e f ore t h e ex p losion Madame Se g reticr , hearin g her son crying in an adjoining room , left her guests to inquire the cause of his tears . She proceeded thence to the dining-room to order tea , when the-house fell in and killed her . Onl y one lady o ? the party , Madame Sylvestre , the wife of the Admiral's secretary , was slightly wounded . Tlie Admiral immediately repaired to the scene of the disaster , and the troops and Marines were called out to afford relief to the unhappy sufferers . The explosions took place simultaneously in two magazines , se p arate d from each other by the fosse that extends round the old Spanish tower , and the fire , kindled in one by an unknown cause ,

      immediately communicated itself to the other . Those magazines contained but a small quantity of gunpowder , which could not have produced so destructive an effect , and it was supposed that some unknown dep 6 t of gunpowder , buried there previous to the conquest , may have contributed to give additional intensity to the explosion . Forty-three workmen of the artillery , thirty-one pontooners , ten a rtill er y sold i ers , and two en g ineers , were found dead in their quarters , and thirty were more or less desperately wounded . The sergeant-niajor of the armourers and his wife and child likewise perished . The controller * , M . Piron , expired after undergoing the amputation of his leg . Five other sub-officers suffered the same fate . Commander Palard was also among the victims of that terrible accident .

      Losdon Cons Exchange , Monday , March lj . --The supplies of Eng lish wheat barle y , and oats we » moderate during th e p a s t week , and o beans ani peas the receipts coastwise were not larger than usual ; from Scotland the arrivals of oats were libend , and those of barley to a fail' extent ; thro vu also a tolerable supply of the first of the two last-named articles from Ireland . - At this mornings market there was a small show of wheat by , land-carrmaj samples from the neighbouring counties ; not mucfr barley fresh up , nor were the receipts of oats large , either coastwise ov from Ireland . Of beans there . w a s a fair dis p la y , but p eas , particularly . white bolt crs , were rather scaiw . T ! io weather continues very ¦ severe , and last night we had a heavy fall of snow .

      The condition of tlie wheat was generally good , hav ing been improved by the late drying wind ; the stands were consequently cleared without difficulty , at prices quite equal _ to those current on this day se ' nnight , and in partial instances rather move money was obtained . Foreign wheat was likewise saleable at fully previous rates . In bond nothing of interest ir . i ^ pivoil . Flour moved ott' rather slowly , but tlie v ; ue of the article was well supported . For reallj nne malting barley the inquiry was more active th .-in of late , and other sorts were certainly not cheaper ihan . on Monday last . Malt continued neglected , and quotations remained about the same as before . Tko nriucinal dealers boudifc oats cautiously , and the

      demand from consumers was far tram lively , . i' . ugjish and Irish were held very firmly at tlic curror . cy of this day week , but for the ordinary kinds oi' Scotch feed rather less money was in partial cases takuii to cloiu- vessels coming on demurrage . Ueaus did not sell freely , and former terms were with diiliculty realised . Peas were in steady request , and previous prices were readily paid ibr good boilers . The impossibility of commencing field work has "l-eatlj ** checked fcho demand i ' or clorcrsccd , and comparatively little has hithertolbeen done in the article ; prices were , however , fully as high to-day as at any period of last week . S p rin g tares brou g ht rather mor e m oney . Canaryseed moved off tardily . In other species of seeds there was little doing .

      London Smitiifield Cattle Market , Mosdat , March 17 . — Notwithstanding the severity of the weatlier , the importations of live stock from abroad , since this day se ' nni g ht , have been on a somewhat extensive scale , they having amounted to 100 oxen and cows , together with 80 sheep , all from Holland . Although there were some well made-up animals amongst them , by i ' ar tlie largest portion vrero of unusually inferior quality . The beastB were disposed of at from £ 8 10 s . to £ 19 ; the sheep 28 s . to 37 o . per head . From our own grazing counties the arrivals of boasts fresh up to-day were seasonably extensive . As to quality , there was , compared with , that noticed on this day se ' nniglit , a slight improvement , yet it was by no means first-rate . The attendance of buyers was numerous , yet , owiiiff to the dead markets being

      heavily supplied witli last week ' s arrivals , tlie beef trade was in a very sluggish state . Tlie primest Scots and liomebreds mostly found purchasers at Jast week ' s q uotations , or from 3 s . lOd . to 4 s . per 81 b ., but the value of all other breeds was with difficulty supported ; in fact , in some instances towards the close of the market a slight abatement was submitted to by tiie s a lesmen ib r such qualities without effecting a clearance . The bullock droves from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , comprised 1 S 00 Scots and liomebreds ; from the northern districts 300 short horns ; from the western ami midland counties , 50 , 0 Devons , Hercfor d s , runts , &c . ; from other parts of England , 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland

      110 horned and polled Scots , Tho number of sheep was rather limited ; hence the mutton trade was somewhat active , at an improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of 2 d . per S lb . —the best old Downs rea di l y producing 4 s . 0 d . per 8 lb . Generally speaking , this stouk came to hand in fair condition . Fr o m the Isle o f Wight , 10 lambs were received per railway ; but the supply from other parts was rather limited . The lamb trade was inactive , and we cannot give prices with any degree of accuracy . Upwards of 4000 of the sheep were out of their wool . With calves we _ were scantily supplied ; yet tiic veal trade was inactive at previous figures . _ Prime small p orkers sold steadily ; other kinds of pigs slowl y at last week's quotations .
