SWITZERLAND.

We have received some details," says the Jour-
nal des Iktregle, "relative to the precarious and perilous
state of the canton of Berne at the present moment. It has
been often observed that when that canton is in movement,
all Switzerland is agitated, and that remark is at present
more true than ever. The radical opposition, nut having
ever been able to obtain any of the reforms which it has
demanded in the Grand Council, has come to a grave deter-
mination, but one which the constitution of the canton
authorises; that is, to get together 8,000 signatures to
appeal to the people, if it desires the revocation of the
Grand Council, and, consequently, of the government.
There are certainly arrondissements in the canton where
this programme will hod an echo, and they are the most
populous ones. It is very probable that the radicals will
obtain a majority fur the revocation of the Grand Council."

PARISII OF ST. NimiTtN's-iN-Tini-Fiiiius.—Leat
night an adjourned meeting of the past and present
parochial officers was held in the Vestry, room, to take into
consideration Mr. West's proposition to abolish the law re-
lating to the removal of the poor; Mr. Staunton in the
chair. Neither the present churchwardens nor the mover
nor seconder of the motion for adjournment were present.
A discussion, however, was entered upon on the subject of
the law of settlement generally, Mr. Coehrane contend-
ing that it was necessary to deride that question Mime they
could take kl r. West's plan into consideration. Mr 'Abram
moved an amendment upon Mr. Coehrote's motion, for the
further adjournment of the question to Monday, which was
carried.
