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 States,
nearly all the articles which Canada has to sell are
admitted into the United States free of duty, while
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

of the United States to terminate, at the end of
twelve months from the expiration of ten years from

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

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."

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.

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.

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."

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 the
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.
