The members of tho Alpine Club Society, which
the Swiss now almost consider one of the institutions of the
country, seem determined to eradicate from their vocabulary
the word " inaccessible," u no lees than five maiden mountains
have been ascended this autumn—the l'itz.Bernins. by Mr.
Hudson ; the Schreckhoni, by Mr. Stephen ; the Weishorn,
by Mr. Tynedale ; the Thierberg, by Mr. Forster ; and the
Moute-Viso, by Mr. Matthews. The Matterhorn alone still
retains its pre-eminence of defying the daring traveller. A
vary heavy fall of snow took place in the Alps last week,
which for a day or two interrupted the communication be-
tween Switaerland and Italy ; but the weather is now ds.
scribed as beautiful, and the snow entirely melted on the
paves of the Simplon and the St. Gotthard.
