Court of General Sessions. Before Recorder Scott and Aldermen Beason and Purser Joun McKnon, Esq. District Attorney.

MEDALS For THE SuBALTERNS.—We were yes- | terday shown one of the medals to be presented tothe brave non-commissioned officers who so nobly distinguished themselves in the battles ofthe 8th and 9th. They ure made of solid gold, about the size and some- ‘what over the thickness of a doubloon. On the inverse side is seen the coat of arms of America, surrounded by twenty nine stars, representing the different States, ‘Texas included. At the foot of the eagle is inscribed— ** Palo Alto and Resaca dela Palma.” On the reverse is engraved—‘ Presented to- . by citizens of New Orleans, for gallant services in the battles of the 8th and 9th of May, 1846”—the whole surrounsed by a hand- some wreath. The-e medals are pronffced by compe- tent judj to be the most beautiful ever mace in New Orleans. They will be forwarded tothe seat of war at the earliest opportunity.- O.

The market is flat. and prices very unsettled. We ‘have no chat off 34 per cent ; Morris Canal went up 1s ; Reading 3s ; Norwich & Worcester closed at yesterday’s prices. At the second board the sales were small, with a slight im- provement in prices.

The difficulties under which the Swiss labor | in getting their manufactures to market, and the success they have met with, notwithstanding these difficulties, show that Switzerland must, before the lapse of many years, require large supplies of the raw material. Corron Manuractures iN Switzer.anp. Cotton is the most important manufacture of Switzer- land. It gives employment to the gi hands, ant in its various branches is spread over most of the cantons. It was ily domiciled in Switzerland ducing workmen employed inthe woollen an linen manufeotures to leave the two latter employments and turn to the produce of cottons, In the first instance, cotton.gcods were imported from the East Indies, and only dufing the last century were they produced in England, and shortly after in Switzer- Tana. in the middle of the last century, yarn was first spun in England by machinery. The first spinning es- tablishment in Switzerland was erected during the con- tinental system. Owing te the exclusion of all Swi-s cotton goods, which the prohibitive system of France has been extending ever since the commencement of this century, end a similar course pursued by the Italian states, position of this manufacture has been one of great difficulty, On the one hand,the raw material can only be obtained with great trouble, by circuitous routes | through foreign countries ; ond on'the other band, the | 4, sale of the goods in the neighboring markets was ‘ren: | po’ dered i. possible by any legal means. Thus driven by | onon trade was compelled to seek | foreign and distant markets, these self-same hostile regu- | lations assisting to increase and to spread the trade they in 1816, the position of | From necessity. the Swiss c ‘were inten led to crush. At the conclusion of the peac: the tfade beceme still more the open- us. ing of trade, the whole of continental states were | flooded with English manufactures, especially of cotton. | To such an extent was this the case, that all goods were | suddenly depreciated to a third of their former value. In every market por competition of England England @vas striving to earn back by ‘sums of money spent ‘subsidies in of the war ; thus, Switzerland’s greatest ad- from the peace was principally in the increased security and facility of visiting the markets beyond the | pe | fea. At this period the manufacture appeared to be doomed, and 2 ilation certain. England continued to pour immense quantities of cotton yarn into the country, competing successfully with the Swiss yarn, not only on account of its extremely low cost of production, but it | ‘epjoyed all the advantages of a superior reputation.— | the preference | ‘Thus, the same priced English yarn over Swiss. Still, during this very straggle for existence, the Swiss | manufacture steadily grew increased—at first confin- ing herself to the lower and coarser numbers of yarn (england stil supplying the higher ones); by degrees, however, successful efforts were made, by | rfecting and improving the machinery, till, at last, not pet in otto entbled (without the roubetea ohabece oo ‘pro- tection,) to supply the whole of her home consumption, | but even beneficially to compete with the English yarn in the toreign markets Thos, we fiad the manu- facture had not only emancipated itself from the compe- tition of the English in Switzerland, but had also sur | ‘vived through ail those periodical depressions prices to which the English market be ‘and rot Saive alter.
