SWITZERLAND.

The New Zurich Gazette of the 4th says :—" The
Austrian post on the Swiss frontier near Stablio
has been withdrawn on the representations of the
federal commissioner. The Austrian Colonel de-
clared that he was not aware that he had placed
himself on Swiss ground. The situation of Ticino
becomes more and more embarrassing. The blockade
is still rigorous. The Radicals urge violence, but
the moderate party advise the Government to
make concessions to Austria. The Austrian soldiers
on the frontier sing songs, urging the people of
Ticino to abandon the Government. One of these
songs has the following words : Swiss, if you wish
to come to our side, cry, ' Down with the Govern-
ment, and long live the monks."

RUSSIA.
The Hamburg News has the following from War-
saw of the 23d ult. :—" Well-informed persons de-
clare that the Czar will arrive here towards May
15th, and that his Majesty will have an interview
with the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Aus-
tria. Another account states that the
It i Czar will
leave for Vienna on the 15th of May. s, how-
ever, certain that the Lazinski Palace and the Bel-
videre have been prepared to receive these illus-
trious guests. It is said that M. Fronton, Coun-
cillor of Embassy at Vienna, has been named Am-
bassador Extraordinary of Russia at the Court of
Turin, and that M. d'Oubril, at present at St.
Petersburg, is to be Chargé d'Affaireof the Em-
bassy e Em-
bassy at Vienna."

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON.—A distressing
act of suicide was committed on Thursday evening, by
which the family of one of our most respectable trades-
men has been suddenly plunged into the deepest distress.
The actor in this painful tragedy is a twin son of Mr.
Lawrence, of the Terminus Tavern, named Charles
Richard, and following the avocation of a painter. It
appears that he was of rather a gay disposition, and
within the last few days he had been observed to be
labouring under great nervous excitement. On Thurs-
day, we understand, he accompanied his sister to
Mr. Lawrence's, the surgeon, to consult him on
the state of his health ; but that gentleman was
not at home. On the same day he did some grain-
ing, but in the evening he became worse, and his
excitement was so great that his family, with whom he
lived, were seriously alarmed. About half-past 8 one of
his sisters said she would fetch him a handkerchief from
upstairs, but fearing to go alone, another sister accom-
panied her. The unhappy young man, then, it appears
rushed upstairs after his sisters, they going into one
room and he into another on the drawing-room floor ;
here he opened a window which faces the terminus, and
precipitated himself into Trafalgar-street—a distance of
about 30 feet. As soon as possible he was taken in a
fly to the hospital, and at five o'clock the following
(Friday) morning death put an end. to his sufferings.
He was about 30 years of age.—Brzghton Herald,.ls
