Arrival of the Louis Philippe. The Religious Movement in Switzerland, DEBATE ON THE SUGAR BILL IN ENGLAND. THE OOTTON MARKET, do. Se. The packet ship Louis Phillipe, Capt. Castoff, arrived yesterday {rom Havre, whence she sailed on the 8.h ult. Our advices by her are six days later from France, and two days later from England. The cotton market in Havre was firm, with con- siderable salee, We learn, verbally, that there was a slight advance on the 8th, the day the Louis Philippe sailed. " The remark of Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons, on the 5th instant, that sugar from this country would be admitted on the most favorable terms, is worthy of note. The religious excitement in Switzerlaud had not, at the hast accounts, resulted in any thing feartul. A great commotion was caused in the Church of Saint Roch in Paris, when one of the Princesses Royal, the Duchess d’Aumale, and the Princess Clementine of Saxe Coburg, were present, by the explosion of a grenade during the sermon of M. L’Abbé Olivier. It appears that some villain had placed it so as to explode by the pressure of a door in opening, near which it was put. Nopersons were killed, only a few being hurt, but a large number were nearly frightened to death. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had fixed upon the 14th of March for the new sugar duties to take effect. No change in the money market at London. The French Chamber of Deputies were debating with spirit the seeret service money bill. The Dutch government has given notice that it will pay off six millions of guilders bearing 4% per cent interest, on the let of April, if the holders of these funds do not before the 26th of March con- sent to take four per cent. Ascene of unusual violence of temper and per- sonality had been enacted in the Chamber of De- puties, between some half dozen of its members. Itcame very nearly but not quite to blows. Spain continues unsettled. Its new government is not very firmly seated. The Minister of Commerce has issued a circu- lar notice to the ports of the kingdom, announcing that he had decided, in concert with the Minister of Finance, that henceforth captains of forei shipe shall be at liberty to apply either to the Ma: rine office, the Custom House, their own Consuls, or to the sworn commercial brokers for certificates of their flags, the tonnage of their vessels, the captain’s names, the number of their crews, the nature of their cargoes, and their destinations. The signatures of the foreign consuls or commer- cial brokers are to be verified by the sanitary ad- ministration. The captains of French ships may take the same certificate either trom the Marine office or from the Custom house. Government ships will continue to receive the same document from the Marine office exclusively. The Paris Presse has made a discovery that the only object of the English in putting down slavery | bad to ruin all the colonies of other States, in or- ir to give importance t© its own | ona, in Senge the produce of the earth is obtained by eans of free labor. The Presse and Mr. Calnoun seem to agree. The Revue de Paris says that an ¢ ment will be sent immediately to the Pacific ; and adds that it will be accompanied by a scientific commission, charged with a minute examinstion of the rocks, reefs, and other dangers among the Polynesian islands. ‘he Minister of Finance and the King are said to oppose the project for the conversion of the five per cents. ¥ Tne Presse says:—We are informed that the Minister of the Marine is at length about to bring in a bill for a new organization of the transatlanuc packets. According to his plan, steam and can- vass are to be so combined as to render each other mutual assistance. A remarkable trial of this com- bination of powers has been made by the steamer Archimede, which is appropriated to the service of the Chinese embassy. The Archimede, which was built in the government dock yard at Brest, and whose engines were constructed at Creuzot, made use of the propulsion by the wind and that of her steam alternately, and, according to the report made to the Minister of the Marine, attained a rate of going of from seven to eught Knots an hour, sa- ving more than one half of the fuel ordinarily con- sumed by veesels of the same dimensions and pow- er. The results would eertainly have been much more favorable if the Archimede had been fitted with the screw propeller instead of the paddle- wheels. A great deal is said by the Paris journals of this morning (March 7) about the jonalities which took place yesterday in the mber of Peers.— Our contemperaries concur in blaming such mani- festations as unworthy of the Chamber, but they are not at ail agreed as to their origin. Whilst the Debats, for instance, attacks Count Mole, and de- clares that his remarks were wholly unjustifiable, M. de Salvandy having in his speech abstaine from pereras iets and taken high and dignified ground, some of the o| ition jour pretend that first M. Guizot and next M. Salvandy, had A ae by gross personalities the retort of Count ole. reinforce- Ky We have received the London journals of Wed- nesday, March &th, from which extracts will be found below. It will be seea that an interesting discussion took place on the resolutions of the committee for regulating the railway bills before Parliament. No other business of importance took place. After a variety of preliminary business, the House went into a discussion on the income tax, which from the tone of the speakers, Mr. Baring, the ex.Chancellor of the Exchequer, and leadi financier of the ion side, having expresse his approbation of the tax, appears likely to pass without alteration. Barris Parutament.— House or Commons, —Imrontation or Svgar.—Mr. Twornx- March 5 Ly had been informed that that day, there had ar- ets the port of London compe of sugar from New Orleans, the produce of slave labor. What he wished to know was, whether this 1 a8 well as that imported from Louisiana ey other slave countries, would be admitted into this coun- try upon the same terms as sugar imported trom Java and Manilla? Sir R. Pret said that those countries of the United States in which sugar was luced b: slave labor, and admitted ine! hed ven coum tries with which this kingdom had at present re- ciprocity treaties. With regard to the arrival an- nounced by the honorable member, he, Sir. R. Peel, begged to say, he had had no intimation whatever of it; but he would « that at present that sugar would not be admissible on the same terms as auger, the produce of the countries men. tioned by the honorable member. But he would add, that he had no hesitation in saying thateugar, the produce of the United States, included under the reciprocity treaties, would be admitted uader t d advantages. . THORNELY was haf glad to hear that an- nouncement from the right honorable baronet, new and very extensive trade in sugar was about to be opened with the countries he had named, to which this altered state of the law would be of reat importance, Mr. Ewarr wished to know whether it was not the fact that sla wn admitted at the re- duced duty trom United States, would under- eet ane ree labor sugar of Maunitiue and Jove, ngt prepared with an answer. — Spain, The Madrid Journals of the 28:h of the 27th, are destitute of news. ie le thase ¢ Heraldo, noticing a report that several of the offic a ay in adrid and in the provinces had indulge odin political allusions, and forbidden to their flock the reading of the translation of Eugene Sue’s no- vel of the Juif mt, on account of the attacks that it contains on the Jesuits, expresses ite regret at this spirit of intolerance. The same journal Gontradiots a rumor that was ourrent of the go- THE NEW YORK HERALD. vernment of the Havana having prohibited the reading of M. Sue’s work. The Chamber of De- puties met on the 28th, but there wasno business of interest before it. _ Mi s M. Cortina, the chief of the Progressist party in Spain, has been elected deputy for Salamanca, by a large majority. side Ye There is very little worthy of notice in the Madrid journals of the 27th ult. The only fact indeed ot the slightest interest, it it be a fact, isin the Eco Comercio. This journal states that the Jesuits are actively at work in Andalu for the purpose of restoring the old order of thine and have opened direct relations with Lisbon and Rome. a By the Liebon mail, to the 26th ult., it appears that her Majesty was likely to carry into effect her apxiously desired purpose of granting an amnesty to the persons engaged in the late revolt, and now in exile in Spain and elsewhere. The Bill for the abolition of the Conservatorial Courts,in its defini- tive form, had been laid before the Chamber of Deputies. A project of law for the abolition of slavery in all the Portuguese possessions, in the ease ot children born after the date ot the promul- ation of the proposed iaw, was presented to the hamber of Peers, and transferred to the Special Anti-Slavery Committee. Another project of a very different kind, imposing penalties of inordi- nate severity in cases of smuggling of corn into the country, was introduced by Ministers. The Custom house receipts of Lisbon, Oporto, and Sete Casas, for the month of January, had greatly fallen off. The prosecutions for libels on the Go- vernment had again commenced. The first of six state prosecutions against an editor was heard on the 17th ult., and terminated in an acquittal.— A new financial statement, and a project of the capitalist Roma, on an extraordinary scale ef mag- nitude, for the conversion of the interest of the foreign debt, and habilitating the Government to effect that object, and meet outstanding en; - ments, had been submitted, it was reported to the Minister Cabral, and had been sanctioned by him. It was likely to be laid before the Cortes, notwith- standing the ministers Castro and Tojal were said to be unfavorable to it. The matter was said to be the subject of differences between Senhor Cabral and his colleagues, and of altercations between the Count Tojal and Senhor Roma. At the bot- tom of every financial measure in Portugal, asmall incidental proposal fora large loan isusually found ; in the present case, no doubt, Senhor Roma will point hia patrons, or forego the opportunity of doing a little business with them. Switzerland. The last accounts trom Switzerland contain no- thing of any importance. On the 3d instant, the diet continued the discussion on the measures to be adopted respecting the Jesuists. On the 4th the debate was resumed, and the various deputies took part init. The devision wasexpected in the course of that day. i A Turin letter of the 1st instant, states that the government of Sardinia has called out its contin- gent in order to strengthen the garrisons of Pied- mont and Savoy, and to form military cordons along the Swise frontiers. Some troops have been marched to the Valley of Aoste, within which the Canton of Vallais is enclosed, as it were, and also to Cluse, in Savoy, which adjoins the Vaud. The Diet Extraordinary, which was opened at Zurich on the 24th ult., ia one of the most impor- tant assemblies which has ever been held by the Helvetic Confederation. The whole country ma) te said to be already in arms. The local prejudi- ces of the people, aided by religious fanatacism on the one side, and revolutionary violence eng the other, are animated to the highest pitch. In some of the Cantons the Government has already been subverted on the question of the instructions to be given to the delegates at this Diet ; and the popu- lace of the Canton de Vaud, in a state of brutal ex- citement, which is compared to that of the French in 1798, are threatening to invade their neighbors ag goon asthe snows are melted, in order to drive the Jesuits from Friburg and. the Valais, or to turn the scale in favor of the revolutionary party by overthrowing the more conservative Government ot Geneva. In the Diet the caaetty, of the two parties perhaps increases the danger of the country; for, it the Radicals are unable to carry their measures of interference and coercion im the Catholic cantons by conatitutional means, they will unquestionable resort to violence; and, i they do carry suck measures by influence or by in- timidation, the Catholic cantons are prepared to resiet by arms the arbitrary interference of a bare majority in matters so nearly ae their reli- gious rights and their cantonalindependence. Un- happily, throughout Switzerland, the violence of the people exceeds thet of the Governments. In the canton of Berne, which has for several yeara been in the hands of the Radical rty, the leaders of the people are themselves likely to fall vic- tims to the atrocious principles that have been gaining ground for some time, even among the pea- santry. Ae: The Universal Gazette, of Prussia, publishes the official returns ot the export, import, and transit duties received by the German Customs Union in 1844 They amounted to 26,471,494 thalers ; being 1,105,124 thalers more than in 1843. Sweden. A letter from Stockholm of the 14th ult. says:— “ The bill for equally dividing the family P t after disease, between all children, without dis- tinction of age, and which haa been adopted by the three States of the clergy, burgesses, and peasants, has just bewn rejected by the State of the nobility, after a Jong and stormy discussion. The numbere were 173 against it, and 72 in its favor. As the adoption of the bill in the three other States, with the Royal sanction, would be sufficient to convert ipgnto law, the State of the Nobles, by the same jority, at once came to the determination of sending an humble petition to the King, beseech- ing his Majesty not to sanction the bill; because, it the custom of equally dividing property after de- cease might suit to a certain point the other classes of society, it was totally unfit for the nobility; and to establish such a system with respect to them, would be to attack one of their inalienable rights, and to inflict a moet serious, if not ieoeereee in- jury on one of their greatest interests. ron Jean de Cederstroem, who voted with the minority, protested ‘solemnly against this resolution, which he designated as unconstitut: 1 and insulting to the great majority of the Swedish nation. Turkey: A letter from Constantinople of the 12th ult., states that the representatives of the five great pow- ers, Rot having been able in their first conference to come to en understanding as to the reply to be made to the note of the Turkish ministry relative to its project for settling the differences in the Le- banon, had held a second meeting, at which they agreed to a collective note. It appears, however, that the ambassadors retuse to take upon themselves to accept or reject the propositions of the Porte, and announce that they must apply for instructions to their respective courts.

The news from the Celestial Empire is totally without importance; but the accounts of the desultory though harrassing warfare carrying on in Kolapore will be tound of considerable interest.

A dense crowd filled the Court room fully half an hour before the Judges took their seats ; a large number of Ja- dios among the rest, for ;whom convenient places were set apart by order of the Court, the male portion of the audience disposing of themselves as they best could; every thing thew that the charge of Judge Parker .to the Jury was looked forward te with intense interest. Jupor Parxer then addressed the Jury, saying—It had given him great penis to bear witness to the prompti- tude and fuithful attention they had given to this case; and judging from what he had seen of them, there was every reason to believe they would honestly discharge theirduty. The duty which devolved upon them was most paper of vast consequence to their conscien. cea, to the public,considered with reference to the excite- ment that now pervaded the country. It was a most im- portant trial, both to the pencter whose liberty was at stake, and to th iblic, who required that if his guilt be established the ould be enforced,and that theyshould seo that it be not overthrown, but sustained,as it was enac- ted to protect their families, their persons and their pro perty.

Robbery is defined in the ste- tute in this language : “E: person who shall be con- vioted of feloniously peas personal Property of ano- ther from bis person, or in presence, and against his will. by violence to his person, or by putting such person injfear of some immediate injury to his person, shall be adjudged guilty of robbery ‘in the first > If then the papers taken were the property of the Sheriff, it must bd shewar by the prosecution they were taken’ against his will, on whieh they had the whole testimony of the eriff and Walter Shav.r, and it was a matter of indif- ence which of them, although diff¢ring in some parti c@lar, they should adopt; it could hardly for a moment entertained, that the Sheriff having these pepers in ion, and employed in his duty, went out fy Poe ‘the disposition to give them BP. It ry red from the evidence that he parted with them ‘upwillingly, and none had been offered by the defence in any way going to show why he delivered his papers, if not by reason of force on this occasion. But it is also necessary to show that these papers were eb as jatute defines to be the subject of robbery. ( dge Parker here read that part of the statute bearing upon the point) The articles taken from the Sheriff were thi distress warrants and a declaration he had to serve. The object of the statute wes to explain all things that could called property, and among these were “ evidences of hts in action.” Now, if these distress warrants were idences of his hority to sell, in the opinion of the Court they were and he had aright to retain them as such. ese papers were the ces of the right under which he might sustein an action if the pro perty seized to be sold was taken away. It isthe opinion then, of the Court, that these papers were property within the definition of the statute. [t was true, as had been stated by prisoner’s counsel, that they (the jnry,) were jndges of the law as well as of fact, and also that it was the duty of the Court to state its views cf the law , but if it should be misteken in those-views, thi ad but to be regulated by theirown judgments. The Court, then, has only to express the opinion. of which it has ‘ittle doubt, that the taking of the Sheriff’s papers was beyond ques: lona robbery. B: the most important question for your deliberation is, thia offence t dareipael the risoner at the bar? Ifthe view taken be true, arebbery Baa been committed. The Sheriff went out to Copake to discharge duty—was surrounded by armed men, who present it him pistols and swords, and it mattered but little at what point of time he consented to the pa pera, if they were yielded through fear of ree sur counding him, in consequence of the claim made by the ermed men. In aseertaining the question ‘was it the prisoner at the bar who perpetrated the rob- bery? it was not necessary, to sustain this action,to preve that he wes the man who held the sword and pointed the pistol at the Sheriff; for if he wes one of them, he was justes frailty as if he had done it with bis own hand; but it must be clearly proved that he participated in it, and if they had any reasonable doubt in their minds, Pan were to give the prisoner the benefit of it and acquit him; but they would violate their oaths if they did not weigh the vidence and convince their minds as to the charge. He did not propose, at that late hour of the night, and after such along trial, to call their attention minutely to the testimony that had been adduced on both sides, but mere- ly to a their minds a direetion, leaving them to ex- amine the very full summing up of counsel en both sides. Whoever did the act was disguised, and it was therefore very difficult to come at who did it. (The Judge here en- tered into a recapitulation of the leading and most essen tial parts of the testimony, in an explicit manner and con pane) Itis alleged by the defence thet the want of similarity between Big Thunder at Smokey Hollow and Big Thunder at Copake, isto be attended to, and much ev was adduced to prove they were not the same person. Some had said one was larger and taller than the ‘igoner at the bar, from two to four inches. This is met counsel for the prosecution by fying that in that dis- guise he would appear taller thon in ordinary dress; this was a matter for the consideration of the jury. - The pri soner’s counsel had further adduced testimony to show that prisoner was not Big Thunder when the pa were taken, from the fact that at the time thet chief was in the ring Dr. Boughton was in citizen’s dress, standing in or near’ the tavern. This was an important point and should be looked to, for if it were preved it would be conclusive to the mind ; but it is met iy prosecution, who say that either some other per- son had assumed the character of Big Thunder, or that witness had been misteken in saying he hi Boughton at one and the same time with B require a close consideration would not express an opinion, but leave it to them to get at the fects as well as they could from the evidence Among others, perh: the strongest fact on the part of oe ee was that prisoner came to Bain’s with Belding, staid over night, breakfasted next morning, and was not seen till after dinner; after that time he wan fact that prisoner had not ac- Pea for himself di = the bai a ii is was oe ‘at nobody was produced to prove seen bim du- ring the time the out: ocourred, and it is tegarded b: the prosecution as in the rer, and the duty of the pri- soner to account for himeelf during that time. The ju: was to decide on this i int question, and their inds must be satisfied that the prisoner was the man called Big Thunder on that oco: before they could find him guilty, and the prosecution were bound to make ont their case strongly, as they (the jary) were to give him the benefit of any doubt ere they could convict him. In de- eiding this question he cautioned them to lay aside all ine Court seen, and it was a stron, sympathy ‘here might be some among them who had contracted prejudice prisoner ; that must be guarded st. On the other hand there might be yntiomen on that who felt Hy on the eneetion thet gave E- to these peeseoaticas They had already been told that these matters had nothing to do with his trial. These questions could in- vestigated without the law violated, necessary to the tenant as any entered the ity box with personal feelings in it would be his duty to discharge it from his mind, as he valued his futare eas. As to the ques- tion of fact, it belonged exelusively to the jury, and was eimportence. He hoped they would Many considerations made it de- onor Judge Paaxen, who was listened to with profonnd attention by @ vast assembly, finished his charge abont 10 o’clock, ae occupied abont three quarters of an hour, whilst Counsel on each side had spoken for five hours a piece in summing up. The jury after a hard nights debate upon the issue submitted to them, came into Court next morning at halfpast 10 and declared that they were unable to agree, and that there was no prepebiiny' of their sgreement. They were therefore discharged, the Judge expressing hie extreme regret at the necessity for doing so. EW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1845. Cemmon Couneil. Boanp or Arpeamen—Last Evening—Ald.

Your anticipations in regard to the result of the anti-rent trials have been realised. After two mor- tal weeks of intrepid argument, the cause of the people and the accused remains just where it was at starting. Dr. Boughten is remanded to prison, and the ubiquitous Big Thunder 1s noplace at all— or as we say in law—non est inventus. If Thad a pen of fitty pencil power I might at- tempt to sketch the highly worked up state of pub- lic feeling that prevailed here for the two last days of the trial. From the beginning it was an object, not of idle curiosity to loaters and loungers, as 18 otien the case about courts of justice; but it was the centre of attraction and deep interest to the distant and remote dwellers ot the country for forty tuiles round. Bronzed and athletic tarmers came a day ortwo’s journey in their wagons to what was to be said against anti-rentiem, having heafd a good deal for it,with ali the devotion ot the Mussulman on a journey to Mecca. Men their seats in courtin a business like manager, and with the air of pereons who intended to retain them,and theirserious and scrutinizing visages were calculated to impart the impression that they were all sworn as jurors. Agreeing with all you said, in relation to this prosecution, in the Herald, and duly impressed with the gravity of the issue, and the principles involved, Iwas present, myself, during nearly all the time occupied in trying Boughton on the indictment ter robbery. I could say a good deal upon the merits of the case in detail; but my remi would, I fear, be too voluminous, if I came to the particulars of the evidence, and, therefore, it may be better to gen- eralize in what I may say—and I am the more in- clined to do 0, as one consideration appears to me as more deserving ot notice than these details—and Ly an the probable consequences of the result of the tal. It is to be regretted that the Jury did not * and remove, by aclear decisiop, the incertitude aud delusion that hangs about the anti-rent agita- oa. What good grounds are there for saying that theae disguised, and armedtand affiliated societies of ignorant men, will not continue to resist the law with impunity? What good reason is there to remove the fear, that they may not, with this pre- cedent of the impotence of law—oi all but an ac- quittal before them, renounce whatever intention they had to “ bpry their tomahawks, and threw away theit scalp! knives,” when it 18 now appe- reat that, with the aid of a equare foot of colored calico for a mask, they can commit highway rob- bery on the Sheriff of the county ? "tt is to be feared that these lawless men will go farther than they have yet done and fare no worse. No doubt com exist that there is a very general and settled feeling against the claims of the land- lords in this part of the country. This was proved by the difficulty there was in finding a Jury, and perhaps some would say from the manner in which that jury disposed of the case. I would not ge feo far as to say that any other jury would have acted differently, in review of the evidence. Far be it from me to impeach the conduct of men whe swore solemaly to judge righteously and justly; but without insisting that [ must be nght in Tegret- ting their decision, I will say thateven jurors may He wrong without intending it. .. You se thiak it a singalar opinion, but I am free to contess it as mine, that it would have been better, had the arrest of Boughton and his asso- ciates not taken place. In the first place, he is either guilty or innocent; if guilty, what effect must this failure to convict him have on the thou- sands who know exactly how far he is implicated in the anti-rent outrages? Why, they will say “*we can do as we please; we can laug the landlord, worry the sheriff, mock the | ind baf- fle the executive; we need not pay rent and we wil) not; it is much more pleasant, and not a whit more dangerous to take papers out of the pockets of the sheriff than pay money out of our own.” On the other hand, it Dr. Boughton is innocent, who could avoid sympathising with him on account ot his long confinement; who would not feel less confidence in, and respect for that authority by vir- tue of ‘which he has been incarcerated % ‘ore- over, six months of excitement, aidin many cases of toil and hardship, not to speak of the heavy ex- penses incurred, have all grown out of these ar- rests ; and now, to crown the matter, ten men out of twelve have very solemuly decided that the law cannot reach the evil, and that Boughton ought to be acquitted. . What wiil the Legislature say to all this? Per- haps they will reply that it is better to let them alone, and wait till the unruly come round to their sober senses, as the less men are governed the bet- ter. This appears to have been theirdoctrine since the-commencement of these outbreaks ; but pro- bably, ifthey all came from disturbed disiricts they would think erently ; they might then discover that people must be governed who cannot govern themselves, events, if they are determined A to make merry, it is hardly fair that others should y the piper; and theretore itis the duty of the State to fork out the expenses. } Although the result of these prosecutions has not been satisfactory, it was no fault of those engaged in conducting them, and two much praise cannot be given to Judge Parker for his judicious manner on that occasion. It wae a matter of some delica- cy, as there was a great deal of feeling enlisted in the cause on either side, and it was consequently highly desirable to allow the fullest scope to the defence of the prisoner, and at the eame time ex- pedite business and uphold the dignity of the bench ; all of which were observed scrupulously. Counsel, too, did their best ; they discharged their obligations well, and if they did not please all par- ties, including the Indians of Columbia, it was not for want of avery “tong talk.” [apprehend the venue will be removed to ano- ther county, wheu these trials next come on.— This will be the surest way of coming to a termi- nation They may try them in Columbia until they grow gray, and just be as far from their object as they are at this moment. i have but one remark moreto make at present, and that is the public are again indebted to you for giving @ report of thee important proceedings, the only accurate one, and almost the y cf ey Kind that was ui der taker Ovnne
