In the House of Representatives at Washington, on the Ist April, Mr. Ward, of New York, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a joint resolu tion setting forth, among other things, in the pre• amble, that by the treaty made by the President on the 11th September, 1854, for the purpose of ex tending the reciprocity trade between the British North American colonies and the United Stat es , nearly all the articles which Canada has to sell are admitted into the United States free of duty, whil e heavy duties are imposed on most of those articles which the people of the United States have to sell, with the intention of excluding them from the Cana dian markets ; and that the President, during the 36th Congrth caused to be submitted to the House an official report, setting forth the inequality and injustice existing in our present intercourse with Canada, subversive of the true intent of the treaty, owing to the subsequent legislation of Canada; but it being desirable that friendly relations should be continued between the United States and the British North American provinces,:and that commercial intercourse should hereafter be carried on between them upon principles reciprocally bene4 ficial and satisfactory to both parties, therefore re solved :—" That the President be authorised and required to give notice to the British Government that it is the wish and intention of the Government of the United States to terminate, at the end of twelve months from the expiration of ten years from the time the treaty went into operation, such notice to be given at the expiration of said term of ten years, to the end that the treaty may be abrogated as soon as it can be done under the provisions thereof, unless a new convention shall before that PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED,....Sd. Address from the Danish to the Swiss People. We have received with a . lively emotion your sympathetic address, and we have been profoudly touched by your wishes for the success of our arms. Thanks to the bond of a common interest which unites the small free nations of Europe, you divine intuitively that which the powerful of this world seem bent on not compre hending. You have felt that the Prussians and Austrians, who are invading our country, are not the champions of right and liberty. It is certainly not for the sake of succouring an oppressed nationality that Prussia hurls against us her Poles, that Austria floods our plains with her Croats, Hun garians, and Italians. Our enemies pretend to set free the German subjects of the King, whilst they send against us an army composed of soldiery belonging to countries held by force under an odious yoke. Is this not a mockery ? Not a single German people enjoys the liberty which we have offered the Holsteiners. As for Schleswig, it is a Danish country intimately bound up with our destiny by identity of race ; its history confirms it. The Germans have tried to establish themselves as masters; but the ma jority of the inhabitants have preserved the Danish lan guage, customs, and traditions. The reciprocal relations of those of its inhabitants who speak different languages have been regulated by laws of such perfect equity that neither Prussia nor Austria would ever dare to treat in the same manner their non-German subjects. _ _ Fer a long time already have the German thrones been shaken by the revolution which undermines them, It was necessary to give them greater stability by opening an out • let for the passions of the people. Germany wanted reforms; instead, there has been offered it the conquest of fertile pro vinces with ports spacious enough for harbouring those fleets which are to realise the insane aspirations of Ger many for universal dominion. And what a master-stroke it would be if, at the same time, our free constitution, which for so many reasons is a thorn in the eyes of the tyrants, both small and great, of Germany could be overthrown. These are the motives which have brought £40,000,000 of Germans to take up arms against 2,000,000 of Danes. The Danish monarchy is to be dismembered and to become the vassal of Prussia—of that Prussia which, together with her ally, not long ago consecrated by solemn treaties the in tegrity of the Danish monarchy, You behold the Holy Alliance at work and can judge its acts. Our enemies proclaim that they will respect the laws of the country and the rights of the different nationalities; how is that promise kept ? Not only the authority of the King is set aside, the national colours and royal emblems trodden under foot; but on all sides the magistrates, the clergy, and even the humble village schoolmasters are driven away, and fanatical Germans appointed in their place. In the churches, schools, administration, courts of justice —in short, everywhere the German language is enforced. time be concluded between the two Govern meats, by which the provisions shall be abrogated or so modified as to be mutually satisfactory to both Governments ; and that the President be, and is hereby, authorised to appoint three commis sioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for the revision of the treaty, and to con fer with other commissioners duly authorised, whenever it shall appear to be the wish of the Government of Great Britain to negotiate a new treaty between the two Governments and the people of both Governments, based on the true principles of reciprocity, and for the removal of the existing difficulties." It is hoped in this wise to make short work of the obstinate Danish nationality and to Germanise the country. Not satisfied with waging a furious war with the living, the dead are not oven respected, and the monuments erected over their tombs are destroyed. Germans ought to blush with shame at hearing the re probation of Europe. Men of Switzerland, we cannot expect from you any direct assistance against these savage invaders of our country; but we have been nevertheless glad to receive your fraternal wishes. Your hearty words have come to us a breath of your free mountain air; you have reminded us of the heroic struggles of your ancestors. The memory of those glorious deeds will sustain us in our trials. We still cling to the hope that the chivalrous nations of the West will stretch out to us their powerful hands, and remember the treaties which guaranteed to Denmark for ever, and against whomsoever, the ancient Danish province of Schleswig. The dismemberment of oppressed but never subdued Poland weighs heavily on the political conscience of Europe; it cannot possibly endure a repetition of that crime. We have the firm conviction that Providence will not let the Danish nation perish. But if justice, right, and honour ate to succumb, abandoned by all, isolated in our deter mined resistance we will offer to the world the spectacle of a people which sacrifices for its independence the last drop of its blood. . A Washington despatch says :—" The renewed intimations of the New York Herald that General Butler, or somebody else, is going into the War office are false." By the arrival of the steamer Yazoo at New York we have news from New Orleans to March 24. General .Banks started for the front on the 22d. Admiral Farragut was at Pensacola, and would leave for the Texas coast on the 26th. Operations upon Fort Powell, near Mobile, are suspended for the present. The health of the city and troops was good. The negro public schools in New Orleans were making rapid progress. French war steamers were daily expected at the mauth of the Rio Grande to attack lqatamoras. Cortinas was levying heavy contributions on the people of the city, and pro claims his intention of taking the field against the invaders. The people are shipping their cotton in foreign vessels ns last ns possible, to get it out of the way of the French. NEW YORK, April 2, Evening.—Cotton firm ; 73c. to 75c. for Middling Uplands.

Miserable Death and Extraordinary Dis posal of a Newly-born Child, On Saturday afternoon Mr. Henry Rafths Walthavv, the deputy-coroner for Middlesex, held an adjourned inquiry at the Three Compasses Tavern, Anchor-street, Brick-lane, Bethnal-green, respecting the death of Elizabeth Mary Bacey, aged 27 years, who died under the following circum stances : QUEENSTOWN, April 17. The China arrived here at 1 p.m. to-day, with 105 passengers. She proceeded at 1.30 p.m. All well. The China experienced easterly weather. NEW YORK, April 8, Evening. The House of Representatives has unanimously passed a resolution, reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that the United States Con.' gress are unwilling by silence to leave the nations * of the world under the impression that they are indifferent spectators of the deplorable events transpiring in Mexico. Therefore, they declare that it does not accord wita the people of the United States to acknowledge a Monarchical Go vernment erected on the ruins of any Republican Government in America, under the auspices of any European Pow er. The evidence went to prove that the deceased was a book folder, and had worked in one of the City warehouses. She was a single woman, and eained about 10s. weekly. She had been living at 22, Anchor-street, Bethnal-green, and had slept nightly in a small compartment partitioned off in the corner of a turner's shop. She was in the habit of leaving the place early in the morning, and returning late in the evening, and paid no rent. She had one illegitimate child, which was out at nurse, and on Thursday, the 7th instant, the deceased was not about as usual, when the aunt called her, but not receiving an answer she opened the door of the place, and found the deceased lying upon a box ap • parently dead. Dr. Roper, of High•stroet, Shoreditch, was called, who promptly attended and pronounced life extinct. The place was in a wretched condition, and was swarming with vermin, which covered the body and the clothing, There were also indications showing that the de ceased had recently been confined of a child, but although every search was made nothing could bo discovered of the body. Mr. Burrows, the coroner's officer and beadle, said that he had searched every part of the house, and had even ransacked the cellar, but hecould not discover the missing body. He believed the child had been dropped in some bye place. Dr. Roper said that when he was called to see the deceased the body was nearly cold, and deceased must have been dead some hours. There were traces of a recent confine ment. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of the lungs, brought on, no doubt, through exposure to the weather shortly after her delivery. The body was covered with vermin and somewhat emaciated. The officer of the Court, Mr. Burrows, said the place where deceased died was not larger than a cupboard, bald was in a most filthy condition: He had been in communica tion with the police of the district, but nothing could be gleaned to lead to the discovery of the body of the missing child. NEW YORK, April 6, Morning. General Grant has returned from Fort Monroe, and has left for the army of the Potomac. Heavy rains interfere with the military opera tions in Virginia. General Forrest's cavalry is still committing deli predations in West Tennessee. A portion of the Federal army has left Alexan dria for Shreveport, Louisiana. The riots in Illinois have been quelled.

Stocks very arm, New York Centrals, 144; Erie, 1254. A police constable stated that a newly-born child had been found in tho parish of St. Leonard's, Shoroditch, which might probably be the offspring of the deceased. The jury ultimately returned a verdict to the effect that "the deceased died from congestion of the lungs, brought on by exposure to the weather." QUEENSTOWN, April 17. Attempted Murder in Bath, Tho Inman steamship City of Washington, from New York on the 2d inst., arrived here at 1.45 a.m. today, with 116 passengers and 48,500 dollars in specie. She landed 14 passengers and 10 sacks of mails, and proceeded for Liverpool at 5 a.m. BATH, Saturday. This morning the usual quiet of this city was disturbed by a desperate attempt on the part of a porter, named Henry Bishop, to murder his wife in the street by shooting at her. For some time past, owing, it is said, to the violent conduct of his wife, Bishop has not lived with her; in fact, nearly the whole of their marriage life, extending over only about 12 months, has been exceedingly unhappy. On one occasion the woman summoned her husband for an assault, but that was arranged, and she subsequently went into Wiltshire, and throwing herself upon the parish was the cause of his being apprehended for neglecting to support her. Although they did not live together, Bishop was re peatedly annoyed and dogged by his wife, who followed him about, as usual, both on Thursday and Friday night. After going home on Friday night he loaded a small pocket pis tol, which he put in his pocket. Shortly after S o'clock this morning his wife met him in Cheap-street, and, renewing her importunity, he pulled the pistol from his pocket, and deliberately shot her. The charge took effect in the face of the woman, who was taken to the hospital, and in all there were about seventeen shot wounds ; one of her eyes was much injured, but the case is not expected to prove fatal, IA large number of people congregated through hearing th e report of the pistol and the shrieks of the woman, but the prisoner, as soon as he committed the act, ran to the Central Police Station, and gave himself up to the police, saying, "I've been and shot my wife is Cheap-street, and (produc ing a pistol) this is what I did it with." lie was taken before the magistrates, who remanded him for a week. NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL.—In the Court of Chan. cerv, on Friday, the Lord Chancellor took his seat at two o'clock, and Mr. Sergeant Parry having received a patent of precedence, and Mr. Keane (Norfolk Circuit) and Mr. Field (Midland Circuit) having been created Queen'a counsel, were called within the bar.

The Anglo Chinese iron ram Tien-tsin, Commander Nicolas, being the third vessel belonging to the expedi tionary fleet, under Commodore Sherard Osborn, C. 8., which has returned to England, is ordered to be taken into the outer basin in Woolwich dockyard this morning, to re turn stores. The crew have been granted leave of absence to visit their friends. Befare their departure Commander Nicolas presented a gold pipe and chain (contributed by the ship's company) to Richard Thomsett, chief boatswain's mate, in testimony of his exemplary conduct during the commission. Commodore Dunlop, senior officer at Wool wich, and superintendent of the port, after mustering the w an an d d the ship throughout, congratulated ls on their cleanly and orderly condition.

C. L. Waddilove, was appointed to leave Plymouth Sound on Saturday for Dover, to embark troops for China. The screw steam gun vessel Espoir, 6, Commander Ss Douglas, frem Sierra Leone Feb. 4, Goree, Feb, 20, Cape Verd Islands March 6, and the Western Islands April 4, arrived on Saturday morning in Plymouth Sound. When she left the station the Rattlesnake was at Sierra Leone, the Zebra at Cape Coast, the Speep well, the Snake, and the Pandora in the Bights, and the Investigator was at Lagos. The Espoir spoke on April 11, in lat. 43 24 N, long. 15 40 W, the brig Eaglet steering west; 14th, lat. 49 39 N, long. 11 17 W, the bark Juno, outward bound, and lat. 49 32 N, long. 11 40 W, a large steamer steering west. Off Fayal she encountered a heavy gale from the eastward, but sustained no damage. The Espoir was com missioned at Devonport by Commander S. Douglas Aug. 21, 1860, and left England on September 27. On the coast she was first engaged up the River Gambia in settling native disputes. Sho then conveyed a portion of the troops wrecked in the Perseverance from Navy Island to Sierra Leone. During the passage fever broke out, and on arrival three• fourths of the ship's company were on the sick list; she therefore proceeded to the Bananas to recrait. On the 19th of November, 1860, Gallinas River, she captured a Spanish brig, and subsequently, near Ascension, the bark Clara Windsor, with 750 slaves. The Espoir was occupied until July, 1861, in suppressing the slave trade. Sho was then engaged in escorting the Sunbeam up the Niger to Onitsha, and while performing this duty she fired at and burnt the village of Kpetema, and had two men killed in the action. She then cruised on the North coast until May, 18C2, when she was ordered to the south, where she captured. July the 22d, off Corigo, the bark Traviata ; in October, 1862, the Dutch bark Jane or Fleet Eagle; in November, 1832, the Portuguese launch E, with £1,200 for the purchase of slaves ; and in August, 1883, the brig Haidee, with 690 slaves. For the remainder of the commission she was em ployed in visiting the forts on, the coast with Major Clarke, R.E., who has come home a passenger in her. During her commission she has lost Lieut. Stephenson and Mr. Teppett, gunner, by fever, and Mr. Hersee, assistant engineer, by consumption; including the above she has lost 11 by death. The total amount of her prize money will amount to £lO,OOO. The Espoir will to-day discharge powder and ammunition, and after inspection will proceed from the Sound into Hamelin to be dismantled. Her crew will be paid off at Devonport. The following appointments and promotions were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John Campion Wells has been promoted to the rank of Commander; and Mr. William Wemyss Anderson, second-master, to the rank of Lieut. ; Thomas E.

Execution of the St. Helen's Murderer. LIVERPOOI, Saturday. James Clitheroe, the culprit in this remarkable case, suffered death this day (Saturday) in front of the Kirkdale gaol, near Liverpool, though efforts had been made to secure a reprieve. The circumstances in connection with the crime are of a somewhat Peo n lf ar description. Clitheroe was a married man wi th a family, but his affections appear to have been divided between his wife and $ who earned a living bMyakryeeWpinogodas,sachpoooolpr a p n a ti ra s ly el t l i i o mangwomann beer. The prisoner was in the habit of sharing the murdered woman's bed, and as his neighbours knew of this he was twitted by them, in the intensely acrimonious manner peculiar to vulgar and uneducated people, as to " the poor cripple Mary Woods" being enceinte by him. This seems to have annoyed Clitheroe very much ; and, his mortification and chagrin acting upon a morbid temperature, prompted him to murder. On the night of the 28th of December last he visited Mary Wood's house, and went to bed with her as was his wont, but early next morning he cut her throat and her own too, though the wound was only fatal in the case of the woman. Later in the morning the school children wore unable to gain admission to the house as usual, and, as no one answered to the door after repeated knocks, an entrance was effected at the rear of the premises, and an in vestigation took place. In an upstairs room the police found Mary Woods and the prisoner in bed together—the woman quite dead and with her throat cut, and the man in an ex hausted condition, with his throat cut also. The blood upon the woman's throat was dry, and she had evidently betn dead for several hours, whereas the blood upon Clitheroe was fresh, and his wound must have been recently inflicted, because the blood was flowing freely from the arteries of the neck when the police first entered. The prisoner, when asked what he had been doing, stated that he and Mary Woods had agreed to cut their throats, saying, " Wo made it up to cut our throats. She told me that the razor was in the drawer under the looking-glass. I Etched the razor, got into bed, and first cut my own throat." The prisoner never deviated from this account of the transaction, either before or after the trial, but it must have been untrue in point of fact, because the strong and irresistible probability is that the woman's throat was cut at five o'clock in the morning, and that she was dead several hours before the prisoner made the attempt upon his own life. When tho prisoner was on his trial Mr. Justice Willes directed the jury that if the prisoner counselled, assisted, or directed the woman to destroy herself ho was guilty of murder. The culprit, who was pinioned by Calcraft in the usual way, struggled hard. To the last he persisted in the story of suicide. The crowd was not oo great as had been ex pected, THE ARMY. At the last meeting of the Local Board of Health at Wool wich, Capt. George Hall Graham, a member of the board, called attention to the fact that there was about to be a change in the command of the garrison. Sir Richard Dacres, the present commandant, he remarked, had conferred mach benefit on the town during his residence. Somo of the evi dences of his goodness and forethought were the numerous houses and out quarters erected for the accommodation of the married soldiers and their families ; the new hospital built through his influence, the establishment of the garri- son police, &e., all of which are calculated to promote the welfare and comfort of the inhabitants. It would be a subject of regret, he said, if they were to allow Oenei al Dacres to leave them without marking their estimation of the benefits which he has conferred on the town, and to show their desire to co operate with the military authorities in advancing the public good. Capt. Graham moved that a committee be appointed to draw up an address for presenta tion to the General on his leaving the garrison. It was then suggested that the address should be presented to Lady Dacres, who had made great exertions for the promotion of the education of poor children. A committee was appointed accordingly. Ironmastere Quarterly Meeting, DUDLEY, Saturday Evening. The concluding meeting of the ironmasters of this district for the current quarter was held in this town this evening. The attendance was small, and was confined principally to those who are engaged in the trade in the immediate locality. Very little finished iron of any description was sold. The feel ing was much the same as at the Birmingham meet ing—that although there will be no declared reduc tion of prices, nevertheless before the quarter is half through many of the second class makers will be glad to accept orders at fully 10s per ton below the rates fixed by the trade. The contracts entered into this quarter-day have undoubtedly been smaller than usual, so unless there springs up a better de mand speedily under-selling will be inevitable. Some halt dozen or more of the principal firms are well supplied with orders, and in the event of their running short they will put their works on at three or four days as the only method of coping with the difficulty which the unprecedentedly high wages scale has brought upon the trade. At the meetings in this town sales of pig iron are generally reported, but there was very little done in that line to-day, and there can be no doubt that the market for pigs is extremely dull ; for hotablast, all mine buyers will not give so much by 5s per ton as they would have done three months ago. For cinder iron there is very little demand. The coal trade in this locality is brisk, notwith standing the advanced period of the season, when the demand for domestic purposes generally falls off; but up to this time there has been no diminu tion in that respect, and though the colliers are working tolerably full time the commodity is taken away from the pits' mouths almost as rapidly as it is raised. The manufacturing trades of this locality are in a healthy state. All the large works in the neigh bourhood and on towards Brettel-land, Brierley hill, and Stourbridge, are in full operation. Labour of every class is well employed. Riot at the Southern Outfall Sewage Works. On Friday evening and Saturday last considerable anxiety was felt by the inhabitants of Erith, Plumstead, and Wool wich, in consequence of a disgraceful disturbance which broke out amongst the labourers and workmen, upwards of 1,000 in number, who are employed by Mr. Webster, the contractor for constructing the outfall works for the Metro politan Southern main drainage at Crossness-point, in the Erith marshes. It is stated that for some days past bickerings have taken place between the labourers, a large number of whom are Irishmen, on the subject of '• Garibaldi." On Friday a dis pute occurred arising from a foreman named Driver having discharged a labourer, when a large number of the men assembled and demanded that their companion should be reinstated and Driver dismissed. To these terms .struckster declined to accede, and the malcontents then work ; and not content with this, commenced an indiscri minate onslaught upon the more peaceably disposed, whol had no wish to leave the works. The riot at one time assumed a serious aspect, the men fighting with brickbats, various descriptions of tools, &c., and eeveral were wounded, although not seriously. A message was sent to the 'Woolwich police-office for assist ance, and a body of 30 constables, fully armed, under the direction of Inspector Linvell, proceeded to the scene of the disturbance, and succeeded in partially restoring order, whilst 300 of the labourers were paid off and discharged. At a later period on Friday upwards of 200 of the brick layers, who receive 6a. 3d. per diem wages, struck against the regulation which requires them to pay 6d. per week for a sick and funeral fund. These men were also discharged, and on Friday and Saturd ey nights a strong body of police patrolled the streets of Plumstead and Woolwich, where numerous fights took place between labourers who had left the works and others, and in some eases severe injuries resulted. ■
