The swiss Co:

,ty with France.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

• BERNE, SEPT. 17.
The cantons of Lucerne and Uri have sent in a pretest to
the Federal Council against the competence of the Federal
authorities to conclude a treaty with France binding all the
cantons without such canton being specially consulted. A
member of the committee of the National Council, Council-
lor Philippin, has also brought in several amendments
limiting the report of the committee recommending the
acceptance of the treaty. Opposition upon a far greater
scale has been raised in the canton of Aargau. A petition
sent in thence to the Federal Council stigmatises the treaty
as a breach of the Swiss constitution. The petitions begins
as follows :

" The question at present raised is of the acceptance or
rejection of various treaties, drawn up and agreed upon
between the Federal Executive and the French Government,
and of which the commercial and immigration treaties
appear the most important. These conventions are in many
respects at variacce with the Federal Const tution, and en-
tail therefore an alteration (revision) of the fundamental law
of the Confederation. An alteration of the Federal Con-
stitution can only come into force when agreed upon by a
majority of Swiss voting cantons and accepted by a majority
of the cantons (Act 114 of the Federal Constitution.
" In the message of the Federal Council the Acceptance
of the above-named treaties is advocated, and the commit-

tees of the National Council and the Council of Estates also
support their ratification, without the requisite revision of
the Federal Council taking place, and without the opinions
of the Swiss people being asked in the matter.
" The Federal Constitution and the Swiss people are
therefore threatened with the serious danger of the former
being infringed and the latter deprived of a clear and
admitted right. In face of this danger we have recourse
to Art. 113 of the Federal Constitution, by which 50,000
Swiss citizen voters are entitled to demand that the
question of a revision of the Federal Constitution
be laid for decision before the Swiss people. Taking our
stand upon this right, we solemnly dissent from the pro-
ceeding proposed in the message of the Federal Council
with reference to the conclusion of the treaties with France.
Wo distinctly demand that the proposed treaties be sub-
.

mitted to the course laid down by the Federal Constitution,
and be so settled. For this purpose we demand a revision of
the Federal Constitution and submission to the deciding
majority of the Swiss people.
"In case cf treaties being concluded without the requi-
site revision, and without being submitted for determina•
tion to the Swiss people, we sclemnly reserve in advance
the sovereign rights of the nation, and in future make in
that case a definite demand for revision of the Federal Con-
stitution.

" We trust that at least 50,000 Swiss citizens will be
found to unite in this reservation, and in both our demands
For revision,"

STATE OF TRADE.

DUNDEE, D. c. 6.--To-day buyers showed more diaposi.
araioiThisiness than on Friday, and a better feeling was
visible in the merket. The finer qualities of flax, tow, and
codilla are in improved demand, and considerable sales are
reported to- ay at very fall prices. The inferior marks 1:e.
main dull, and prices unsteady. Jute is rather quiet, and
the advance got a week or two.ago is with difficulty sus.
rained. Yarns of all Berta were in active request, a'ad largo
parcels changed hands at full last week's priceds fur the
various qualities. No change in the quotations can, how.
ever, be made, as it was only in rare cases that any rise was
got. Linens continue in good demand, both jute goads and
the better descriptions being wanted. Both spinners and
menufacturers are in general largely foresold. some of them,
having orders to lest them for months to come.

LEICESTER, 7th.—There is a gradual failing off in the
demend for hosiery goods, which is usually the case at the
present time of the year, and there will be no reaotion until
after Christmas. At Loughborough and Hinckley trade is
quiet, and the operatives are not so well ezniloyed. As
orders are now of an assorting-up character, what is finished
is merely for immediate requirements. Wools are quoted
at high prices. In yarns there is not much doing, and
prices remkin extremely high.

NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—The lace trade is still in a very
languid state, and very little business has been done duricK
the pest few days. Plain nets cannot be sold at prime cost.;
very few are made, most machines being put on short time
or stopping altogether. There is rather more doing in silk
mechlins, but silk laces and edgings are still extremely dull.
Some small orders are expected from America, but many
goods are still in bond at New York which are intended for
the tall trade. Continental orders are very small, and only
for assortment. It is expected that at the turn of the year
some more business will be done, as stocks are very small.
The hosiery trade is without much change.

The biddings for £350,000 in bills on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro.
portions allottel were—to Calcutta, £226,200; to
Bombay, £120,000; and to Madras, .£3,800. The
minimum price was, as before, is lltd on Calcutta
and Madras, and Is 110 on Bombay. The appli-
cations within limits amounted to £2,230,000.
Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is Did will
receive about 9 per cent., and on Bombay az 2s id
about 80 per cent.; all above these prices in full.
These terms indicate a considerable increase in the
demand for means of remittance to India, the rake

and 2 per cent. higher on Bombay than those on
the previous omelet).

1A KIND OF LOVE AFFAIR."—At the Wina
cheater assizes on Monday Edward John Clark was
indicted for robbing Mary Dunkison of a watch on the Ist
of November. The prosecntrix said that she was a ser-
vant. She and the prisoner had kept company for three
years. On November Iho asked her to take a walk with
him about two o'cicck. They went through a field, and the
prisoner snatched her watch from her and ran away. She
followed him and asked for her watch. He declared he had
not taken it. She put her arms round him and felt the
watch in his greatcoat pocket, and oho took it out and put
it in her bosom. He threw her down and eat upon her face
and took the watch out of her bosom. She cried out, and

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN AN AUCTION Rom—William
Sykes, a well dressed man about 30 years of age, and de-
sczibed as an auctioneer, was brought before Mr Partridge
charged with violently assaulting Mrs Elizabeth Jennings
and damaging property to the amount of £3.
Mr Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the pro-
secution. M:s Jennings was the wife of an auctioneer
carrying on business at No. 4, Upper East Smithfield. The
prisoner was formerly in his employ, and left a short time
since. Yeiterday evening the prisoner came to the auction
ro m drunk and made a disturbance, offered to fight the porter,
a German, named Wright, and everyone in the place, and
asked Mrs Jennings where her b-- of a husband was, and
that he wanted to beat his brains out. The prisoner then
sat down for a short time, and suddenly rose from his chair,
Arndt Mrs Jennings a tremendous blow on the nose, and
knocked her backwards thru ugh a framed engraving, break-
ing the glass which covered the picture, and tearing the
engraving itself. A glass shade was also broken, and other
damage done. The prisoner was put out of the allop, and
he seized an iron bar used for securing the shutters, and
drove it through the panel of the door. The prisoner was
then secured. He believed the prisoner had established
himself in business some 400 yards from the prosecutor's
shop, and was very envious of the success of his late master.

Mrs Jennings, whose nose was disfigured with a surgical
plaster, confirmed the statement of her solicitor. She also
added that prisoner kicked her after she was knocked down.
She had been bleeding from the nose and mouth all night.
Mr Henry Myers, an auctioneer who was selling hand-
kerchiefs when the row occurred, corroborated the state-
ment of Mrs Jennings, and said the prisoner struck him
one day last week, and gave him a black eye. He could not
spare time to prosecute. The prisoner called him a black-
eyed beauty last night.
Two other witnesses confirmed the statement of the com-
plain ant.
_

The prisoner said he had been drinking with Mrs Jen-
nings yesterday evening, and walked home with her to her
mock auction room, where they were on the best of terms.
Mrs Jennings was very drunk.
Mrs Jennings denied having drunk with the prisoner.
A policeman said that Mrs Jennings was the worse for
liquor last night.

Mr Partridge would not pass over such a violent assau't
on a woman. He fined the prisoner £5 for the assault, is
for the dawago, and 35s hi addition, the amount of the da-
imprisonment for 10 weeks.

REGENr'S CANAL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the offices, City-road Basin ; 111 r Parker in the chair,

The report stated that the traffic for the half-year ending
30th June last amounted to 512,A4 tons, and the gross
amount of tolls to £31,419, the not profit being £13,173.
This amount, after transferring £903 to the reserve fund,
will allow of the payment of a dividend of 13s. per share
free of income tax, leaving a balance of £363.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said they were threatened with a competing line of railway
from King's-cross to Limeh-fuse, the plans for which had
been deposited. The committee would examine these plans,
but he was not yet prepired to say whether they would
oppose this new line. Tile cost of the contemplated im-
provements in the company's docks at Limehouse would
probably amount to a largo sum, but he had no doubt they
would be well remunerated for the outlay.
The report was adopted, ➢ir Abbot was appointed secre-
tary in the place of Mr Snee, deceased, and A vote of thanks
to the chairman closed the proc.ndings.

The biddings for £350,000 in bills on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pros
portions allotted were—to Calcutta, £226,200; to
Bombay, £120,000; and to Madras, £3,800. The
minimum price was, as before, is Ilid on Calcutta
and Madras, and is Did on Bombay. The appli-
cations within limits amounted to £2,230,000.
Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is Hid will
receive about 9 per cent., and on Bombay at 2s 4-d
about 80 per cent.; all above these prices in full.
These terms indicate a considerable increase in the
demand for means of remittance to India, the rates
paid being about 11 per cent. higher on Calcutta,
and 2 per cent. higher on Bombay than those on
the previous occasion.

"-A RIND OF LOVE AFFAIR."—At the Win,
cheater assizes on Monday Edward John Clark was
indicted for robbing Mary Dunkison of a watch on the Ist
of November. The prosecutrix said that she was a ser-
vant. She and the prisoner had kept cumpAny for three
years. On November Ihe asked her to take a walk with
him about two o'ckck. They went through a field, and the
prisoner snatched her watch from her and ran away. She
followed him and asked for her watch. He declared he hed
not taken it. She put her arms round him and felt the
watch in his i;rcatceat pocket, and she took it out and Fat
it in her bosom. He threw her down and sat upon her face
and took the watch out of her bosom. She cried our, and
he took her by the throat and said he would cut it, He then
ran away with the watch. The jury, after some hesitation,
returned a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner
to mercy. The judge—Oa what ground, gentlemen? A
Juror—My lord, we think it was a kind of love affair. Sen-
tence postponed.

STATE OF TRADE.

DUNDEE, Dec. G.—To-day buyers showed more disposi-
tion for business than on Friday, and a better feeling was
visible in the market. The finer qualities of flax, tow, and
codilla are in improved demand, and considerable sales are
reported to- ay at very full prices. The inferior marks re-
main dull, and prices unsteady. Jute is rather quiet, and
the advance got a week or two.ago is with difficulty sus-
tained. Yarns of all sorts were in active request, and largo
parcels changed hands at full last week's prices fur the
various qualities. No change in the quotations can, how.
ever, be made, as it was only in rare cases that any rise was
got. Linens continue in good demand, both jute goods and
the better descriptions being wanted. Both spinners and
manufacturers are in general largely foresold, some of them
having orders to last them for months to come.
LEICE6TER, 7th.—There is a gradual failing off in the
demand for hosiery goods, which is usually the case at the
present time of the year, and there will be no reaction until
after Christmas. At Loughborough and Hinckley trade is
quiet, and the operatives are not so well emiloyed. As
orders are now of an assorting-up character, what is finished
is merely for immediate requirements. Wools are quoted
at high prices. In yarns there is not much doing, and
prices remain extremely high.

NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—The lace trade is still in a very
languid state, and very little business has been done during
the past few days. Plain nets cannot be sold at primecost ;
very few are made, most machines being put on short time
or stopping altogether. There is rather more doing in silk
mechlins, but silk laces and edgings are still extremely dull.
Some small orders are expected from America, but many
goods are still in bond at New York which are intended for
the fall trade. Continental orders are very small, and only
for assortment. It is expected that at the turn of the year
some more business will be done, as stocks are very small.
The hosiery trade is without much change.

THE GREAT POLISH TRIAL,—The trial of the
Poles of the Dachy of Posen continues to excite
public attention at Berlin It may be remembered that 123
were accused of high treason against the King of Prussia
for the part taken by them in the insurrection of last year;
and that about a third were liberated immediately after the
hearing of witnesses. The King's procureur abandons the
prosecution against half of the remaining 80 ; he calls for a
condemnation to death on about 20, and a sentence of diffe-
rent periods of imprisonment against the rest. The State
Court—a tribunal of ton judges chosen among the members
of the Supreme Court exclusively for the trial of political
offences—is to deliver judgment on the 2d December,
The Madrid Epoca contradicts the rumour which
was current of the flight of the Infante Don Ifenrique. The
Prince, says that journal, still remains at the Canaries,
where he is treated with all the honours due to his rank.

The Punjolo of Naples btates from Potenza that
on the 30th ult. the notorious chiefs of brigands Schiavone,
Petrella, Rendina, Marcello, and Capuano were tried by
eourt-martial and shot. The same paper states that during
the present year 427 brigands and 32 brigand chiefs have
fallen into the hands of the authorities.

COTTON IN JAMAICA.—Soma time ago I noticed
some country correspondent of yours had stated this
was likely to be a bad season for cotton. In St. Thomas in
the East I can assure you, from present appearances, the
fields of cotton are likely to be larger and of better quality
than last season. I rcter moro particularly to the Jamaica
Cotton Company's estates. The trees on these estates were
carefully pruned by an experienced English gardener, and
considerable attention has been paid to each individual
tree. The trees aro luxuriant in foliage, and will bo shortly
in blossom.—Taniaica Gun dian•

The theatrical riots at Madrid are not yet at an
