The cotton .arket, however. contiaues in the same depre3sed state as at the last advices. Parliament is busily engaged in talking about the Canadns and Sir Robert Feei's new Banking theorie. The newsfrom France and Spain is unimportant.

The Emperor of Russia has very unexpectedly made his appearance ín England. He is of course received 'witli all the honors."IR ELAND. The Court refused the motion under the conviction that, as the laws stood, they had nu power to gram it At 4 o'clock, amid breaihless anxiety Mr. Juatice Burton, in an address in which heshed tears, passed sentenceon the traversers.

He had now only to eay t with nis painful conviction that Justice had not been done.A sudden and vocilerous cheer from nearly all parts oí the Court followed this rcsult, and altho' it was acconipanied by the clapping of hands amongst the junior bar, and was two or three times repeated, the Judges didnot imerfere, although evidently dispíeased. Tlie Traversers immediately aurrendered into the custody ofthe Sheriff. Within the Court-yard a large number oí respectabie pereons, inany of rhem his most intímate friends. were dniwn up in two linea.

The prisoncrs, as they musl now be called, dined together about half past six. They were all cheerful.

Your faithful friend, DANIEL O'CONNELL. Corn Exchange-rooms, 2Jth May, 1844. SW1TZERLAND. Switzerland has been the scène of a short, though sanguinary civil war. The cause of disorder is accounted for thus: Every two years the Germán and High church party of the Upper Valais have a contention with their French and Latudinarian compatriotsofthe lower portion of the Cantón. Last time the Upper Valisans were beaten. This year, however, having a Vorort, or Executive Conion, Lúceme, favorable to ultra Catholic ideas, they grew more bold. Disputes threatened, and the interference of the Vorort was obtalned. This maddened the Lower Valisans. o;id actual hostilitiescommenced. - Aftersome sharp figlning, the atruggle is brought to a close for the present, in consequence of th dispersión ot the militia of the Lower Valais.
