PRUSSIA AND SWIiZEKLAND.j
PRUSSIA AND SWIiZEKLAND. BEKI.IN, WEDNESDAY. It is stated in high circles that the King persists in claiming the preliminary liberation of the prisoners, though disposed to abandon his claims to the sovereignty of Neuchatel, provided he is allowed to retain his pro- prietorship in the chateaux of Neuchatel and Locie, with a revenue of 20,000 dollars, and the Prussian flag to remain on both chateaux. The Kreuz Zcitung affirms that Prussia has agreed to no other arrangement than that of entering on negotiations when the prisoners shall be unconditionally released. It maintains that the Powers required nothing else of her. BEliNF, JAN. 14. The Committee of the National Assembly appointed to consider the message of the Council, in recommending the adoption of the proposals, add the following phrase —" And whereas by all communications received, the independence of the canton of Neuchatel appears to be secured, Switzerland is disposed to asiist ir, the main- tenance of peace, as far as her honour and her indepen. dence will permit." The Committee proposes to sit in permanence when the Assembly shall have adjourned, after to-morrow's meeting. The Committee of the State Council is also unanimous for the adoption of the propoóa's, with t! e exception of M. Fuzy.
THE G 1{EAT -BULLIO ROBBERY,I
THE G 1{EAT -BULLIO ROBBERY, The trial of the prisoners Pierce, Burgess, and Tester who are charged with committing the extensive bullion robbery upon the South Eastern Rail II ay in May Let commcnced at the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, (Tuesday) morning. There were four indictments against them the first charged them with stealing 2301b. weight of gold, value £ 12,000, the oroperty of tLir employers, the South Eastern Railway Company the second charged them with stealing a number of bars of gold and some gold coins, the property of the same prosecutors the third charged them with stealing the same property in the dwelling house of the prosecutors and the fourth charged them with feloniously receiving the property, Knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoners pleaded Not guilty" to the whole of the charges. Serjeant Shee attended specially, with Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Monk, of the Northern Circuit, to conduct the prosecution Mr. Serjeant Ballantine attended specially, with Mr. Sleigh, to defend Tester Mr. Serjeant Parry, also specially retained, with Mr. Ribton, appeared for Pierce and Mr. Giffard, Mr. Poland, and Mr. F. H. Lewis defended Burgess. Mr. Serjeant Shee opened the case at great length, and then called Agar, the approver, who repeated the evidence as given by him at the police courts. The case was resumed on Wednesday, when a number of witnesses were examined. The evidence generally was of the same character as that which has already appeared in the MERLIN. At the close of the cise fur the prosecution, Mr. Serjeant Parry said that before addressing the jury for Pierce he should like to have the opinion of the Court whether there was evidence on the last count, which indicted Pierce for larceny as a servant of the companv and also whether he could be properly said to have been a receiver. The third count charged him with robbery from a but he apprehended that a railway carriage could scarcely be called a dwelling- 0 house. The Court then adjourned until Thursday. The prisoners were again placed at t, baron Thursday, when the counsel for each respectively addressed the jury. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said the prisoner Pierce, if found guilty, could only be convicted of simple larceny, he not being one of the company's servants at the time of the robbery. After minutely reviewing the whoie of the evidence, the jury retired, and after an absence of 10 minutes, returned into court with a verdict of guilty. Pierce was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment, with the 1st, 12th, and 21th month in solitary confinement, the highest punishment the judge could inflict. Burgess and Tester were each sentenced to 14 years' transportation. Redpath and Kent were then placed at the bar, and pleaded not guilty." The trial was appointed for ten o'clock on Friday.

THE SETTLEMENT OF THE SWISS…
THE SETTLEMENT OF THE SWISS AFFAIR. WE rejoice that the paltry quarrel of the King of Prussia with Switzerland is likely to be set- tled without an appeal to arms. No doubt some of his Royal friends would have bean glad to join him in crushing that free country but their own jealousies and fears have prevented them from carrying out their secret wishes. If the feeble-minded head of the House of Bran- denburgh should receive, in the formal settle- ment of this affair, somewhat more consideration than he deserves, it must be remembered that he will have permanently lowered himself in the eyes of all Europe, while the brave Swiss will stand higher than ever.
THE REPRKSENTATIOJNT OF HULL.
THE REPRKSENTATIOJNT OF HULL. THERE is one truth which needs to be conti- nually inculcated; the importance of each of the several parts which combine to form any great whole, whatever it may be. Those who 3 would improve society, can only effect their ob- ject by improving individuals. Such as think Z3 that the Constitution of Parliament may be al- red for the better, must not simply declaim against the defects of that body, but must set themselves, whenever vacancies occur, to do what they can towards filling them up with setter men. Hence, every single election is of mportance, and the more so where the consti- tuency is large and influential. One of the vacancies which will shortly be ailed up is that of Hull, an important port, as well as an ancitnt borough,-a place which, in -,he civil wars, shut its gates against an oppres- sive king, and which did itself infinite honour by chosing for its representative the incorrupti- ble Andrew Marvell. When the vacancy occa- sioned by the elevation of Mr. Watson to the judicial bench was known, the Recorder of New- astle-on-Tyne was desirous of filling it, but the idea oi two members out of one family did not appear palatable to anybody. Then Mr. Ed- ward James offered himself, but abruptly trans- I ferred his pretensions to Southampton, where the exceedingly indiscreet conduct of the Liberals will probably cause the loss of the seat recently occupied by Chief Justice Cockburn. All the time, Mr. Clay, the former member, who, as a local paper says, bought the borough in 1852, but was prevented by a Parliamentary Committee from enjoying the fruits of his ex- penditure, was c'aiiuing the completion of his bargain, and threatening the most determined opposition to all comers. Under these circumstances, a gentleman of high position in the commercial world deeer- I mined to offer the electors his practical know- ledge and ability, and his claims are now before them. This gentleman is Mr. H, W. Schneider, of the great iron ore firm of Schneider, Harvey, and (Jo., of Ulverstone, and in whom we have a considerable interest, since he is the principal shipper of Lancashire hematite to Newport, Cardiff, and the neighbouring ports, in which the steamers of his firm may frequently be seen. He is chairman of the great Wheal Vor Com- pany, which, whether as to the number of men enipl yed, the quantity of its machinery, the depth of its workings, or the extent of its re- sources, is the greatest tin mining company in C, the world. He is a director < f the St. John del Rey Mining Company, which is described as the largest aDd most successful existing company for procuring gold. And he is also president of In the Anglo-Mexican Mint. The ilfiningJourital savs that he is a thoroughly practical and able man, well versed in administration, and, what tells in political life, able to communicate his ideas in an effective ald winning manner." The same authority adds: "There are few among the chairmen of great undertakings who have a greater command of their subject or their audience at a public meeting and his mastery of facts figures, and details will tell in a more iufltietitial assembly, as it has in the many large and successful enterprises with which his name is connected, and there is hardly a distiict in the west of the island in which this is not the case." Such is the opinion of one who knows him in his more public capacity. Let us hear what is said of him on the spot whence he procures the ore which he sends here. The journal of the Lancashire hill and lake district, the Ulverstoite Advertiser, says NIt". Schneider has been connected with this district (Furness) for the last 16 years. His firm are now the largest shippers fom the district. Mr. Schneider is greatly esteemed here as he is well-known for n his honourable and enterprising character, and for the liberal spirit in which he has at all times responded to the wants of the district. He is universally known, being engaged in many un- dertakings, both at home and abroad. It gives us pleasure to be enabled to state that he has ac- quired the name of an honourable, liberal, and enterprising man of business." At one time very few men engaged in busi- ness had seats in the House of Commons; of late years this anomaly has been in some measure removed. But now we are frequently hearing aspersions on this class of members, to the effect that they are narrow-minded, often ignorant, and usually incapable of legislating on broad principles. And such charges do not always come from the advocates of exclusiveness but arc not unfrequently heard from writers calling themselves philosophic spectators, oi,, as it were, public leaders, but in whose productions ill-tem- per and self-conceit are largely prominent. We repudiate with scorn the ready assumption that men in business have necessarily narrow views, or limited information. We do not un- dervalue high culture, or the possession of leisure for reflection. But we do know that the coun- try contains a great number of learned block- heads, and that not a few of even our self-made mercantile men, whose educational deficiencies are obvious, are yet better qualified to sit in Par- liament than many of those who have had all the advantages of collegiate instruction, and op- portunities for acquiring statesmanship, but without any result worthy of notice. The time has not yet come for finding fault with the 9 House of Commons for having too much of a practical business character that element needs to be yet largely increased, and Mr. Schneider appears to us to be just the sort of man for the purpose while for a great commercial port like Hull, he has a special fitness. Mr. Schneider's address to the electors is clear, full, and vigorous. He is for limiting taxation to the absolute requirements of the re- venue believes that the time has come for another revision of our tariff; is for abolishing the timber duties, and the discreditable tax upon marine insurance and while not opposed to direct taxation, is for an immediate reduction and for a re-assessment of the Income-tax. On this important point he says :—" I consider the Income-tax, as at present imposed, a grievous wrong upon the whole commercial, trading, and professional classes. Income, whether the re- sult of mental or bodily labour, dependent upon health, strength, and all the chances and uncer- tainties of life, is not property, and to tax it as property is to demoralize the people by an in- justice and a temptation to fraud." This alone will probably go far to secure Mr. Schneider's election. But he is also an advocate of other popular measures. He is a warm friend of education. And then, while intending to give an independent support to the present Government, he adds—with a nobility of spirit which some of the cavillers at mercantile mem- bers can scarcely conceive—that he places the dignity and purity of the House of Commons on an upright exercise of the franchise," and a pro- motion of measures, which he deems essential to the public good, "above considerations of mere party." Such, in our opinion, are the men who are needed in the Legislative Assembly of this C3 great country. We have alluded to Mr. Schneider's commer- cial transactions with this district. It will in- terest some of our readers to know that out of nearly 4,000 tons of ore per week (204,000 tons in the year), shipped in 1856 by his firm from Lancashire, no less than three-fourths were brought to Newport, Cardiff, Neath, and other ports in South Wales. We hope the electors of Hull, looking at their true interest, and that of the country, and having regard to the solid and valuable qualincaticns 0 which are now available for their service, will give Mr. Schneider such assurances of support as will lead to his unanimous return or that, if there be a poll, he will be placed at its head by a triumphant majority.

IContl SttWligetM. ^OUTATIOS.—We have the gratifying fact to announce for Messrs. Evans and Good win,the arrival in the Newport. Dock of a cargo of flour from America. Those who feel interested in the increasing trade of this improving port, will, we trust, have cause to hail this event as the pre- cursor of many direct shipments which will bo announced after the enlargement of our dock accommodation. NBWPOBT CATTLE MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—This day the supply of all descriptions of cattle was scanty. Beef futched 6Jd.. and mutton, 7.^1, per lb. pork, 10s. to lis per score. Veal, 81. per lb. The very limited supply may be attributed to the augmented demands on the hills, and the increase of population. MR. DARBY.-We are glad to hear that Mr. Darby, the gentleman so largely connected with the iron manu- facture of thi-i county, is one of those great capitalists to whom Turkey will have to look for its financial regenera- J tion. His name appears prominent among list of o-en- J tlemen who are to manage the Ottoman Bank of Constantinople. VESTRY MEETING.—A vestry meeting was held at St. Woollos Church on Friday (yesterday) the Rev. Edward 1 Hawkins in the chair. On behalf of the parish of St. WOOliola. it wa.i Pi-opose,l by Air. T. Richards, seconded by n ,'l the ^'litor'8 biU the last year be paid also, that Messrs. Williarna and Colo be appointed auditors for the ensuing year. Mr. T. Richards proposed seconded by Mr. Lawrence B. Moore, that the Rev'. Edward Hawkins, Samuel Homfray, and Henry John Davis, Esqrs., be re-elected members of the Burial Board for the ensuing year. On behalf of the borough of New- port, it was proposed by Mr. E. H. Phillips, seconded by Mr. II arse, that Messrs It Mullock, T. M. Llewelliti, and William Evans, be re-elected members of the Burial Board for the ensuing year. Proposed by Mr. H J. Davis seconded by Mr. L. B. Moore, that Messrs. Cole and J '1 fh08 u6ue"r ?ctr au'^ors for the ensuing year, and 1 that their bill of last year be paid. Mr. R. b. Evans pro- s posed, and Jlr. Iv. J. Phillips seconded, that Mr. George 1 Baker's salary be increased £:30 per annum, as assistant- overseer of the borough of Newport. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. JOSEPH LISTER, FOREMAN OF J THE LOCOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT OF THE MONMOUTH- BHIKE RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPANY.—On tbe occa- sion of Mr. Lister's leaving the servico of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, his old associates determined to pay him a token of respect, and on the 3rd inst., at the Navigation Inn, Lowesdown, they assembled to express their kind feeling for his considerate and impartial conduct towards them, and to show, in a substantial form, their appreciation of his conduct to all under his control" Mr. Lister, on entering the room, was received very enthusiastically. The Chair- man, (Mr. Iticbard Mills), opened the proceedings by reading the workmen's address, and presenting Mr. Lister, after suitable remarks, with a handsome watch and gold chain. Mr. Lister, in a very feeling manner, acknowletfged the testimonial, stating that he appreciated it the more, as evidencing the a. provul of his conduct towards his rubor- dinates, in discharging his duties between his late employers and them. The health of Mr Lister was then given by the vice chairman (Mr. Stark), and received in a most hearty manner. The toast having been suitably responded to, was followed by "Our Employers, the honourable gentlemen composing the Board of Directors," the Locomo-ive Department, associated with Edward Wilson, Esq., (the Engineer). and his able assistant, Mr. M'Kenzie. The health of the General Manager, A. C. Sherrifif, Esq., was then proposed by Mr. Lister, who said that he hoped that gentlemen would interest himself to assist in the formation of a Literary Institution, contem- plate(I in connection with the company, which would, no doubt, afford all the workmen an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the theory of mechanics, the science of which they knew practically, and he was sure the locomotive department would have pleasure in doing more than their share in supporting the institute." Mr. Lister's toast and remarks were received with much attention. After other toasts and sentiments were given, voies of thanks were passed to the chair and vice-chair; and the meeting, which was most orderly throughout, broke up in a manner which reflected great credit on so numerous a body of workmen, there being upwards of a hundred present. The inscription on tho watch was Presented to Joseph Lister, by the workmen of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, as a mark of their esteem. January 3rd, 1857." FANCY BALL AT I'll I'D rG.LR.- A portion of the manu- script, in reference to the Fancy Ball at Tredegar Park, was accidentally omitted in last number. The names of Mr. Powell, and Mr. Powell, Jun., (of the Gaer,) Mr. and Mrs. Hookey, (of Hisca,) Mr. and Mrs Bates, (of Oxford- shire,) the Misses Collins, Miss Owen, Captain Liussell, Hr- and Mrs T. Jeuuer, Kev. Howell Williams, Rev. David Davies, &c &c., did not appear. PEKILOUS LEAP INTO A COALPIT.—A most perilous leap was taken a few days since, while hunting with Mr. Koch's hounds, at Bolton-hill, in Pembrokeshire. The whipper in, James Morgan, in taking a hedge jumped, his horse into an unfenced coalpit, 3 feet in depth, which lay unobserved on the other side of the hedge. Man and horse went down the shaft, at tho bottom of which was a depth of 18 feet of water. Fortunately the sides of the pit had been made sloping, so that before the horse was en- tirely submerged be gained a footing on the s'ope, where he maintained his hold. The rider was thrown into the water, but, on rising, grasped the saddle, and thus held his head above water until assistance arrived, when ropes having been procured, he was safely draw up. and, save the shock, perfectly uninjured. The horse was next drawn out, also unhurt. They received every attention, and soon recovered from the accident. PovviS SCHOLARSHIP.—The trustees of the Powis Exhi- bition having considered the report of the examiners, pre- senting to them Mr. Thomas Nicholas and Mr. Henry Edwards, as nearly equal in merit, have adjudged the exhibition to Mr Nicholas. At the same time they desire to express to Mr. Edwards their approbation of the excellent examinations which he has passed, and of the ability which he has displayed. -Pow, Mr. Nichols was educated at Oawestry School, and Mr. Edwards at W estminatur.
