The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
aro continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a esurvictiou of the utter ins-
possitility in isnumerahle eases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective itamoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists ef four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space ix which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush aro supplied at intervals with
*Overeat spring joists, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its roate most
perfectly. The capabilities of this mackine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively mete lla the Government and
numerous public offices, while the *Mage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their anneal con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
emcee of the solicitor, 3', Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, fit

YORK LICENSED VICTIIALLBRS' SOCIETT.-911
Monday last the members of the York Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Association gave their first annual dinner, in
the De Grey Rooms, in St. Leonard's-place, a suite of
rooms admirably adapted for such an entertainment.
The banquet was supplied by Mr. Todd, of the White
Hart Inn, and was furnished on a scale of great splen-
dour. The chair was taken by George Hudson, Esq.,
M.P. for Sunderland, and an alderman and magistrate for
the city of York. He was supported by the Lord Mayor
of York, John George Smyth, Esq., M.P., Alderman
Barber, Richard Nicholson, Esq., Wells Hood, Esq.,
William Hothaw, Esq., Henry Cooper, Esq., John Pear-
son, Esq., Nicholas Charles Gold, Esq., George Denby,
Esq , and other influential citizens. Deputations from
kindred institutions at Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, &c., were
also present. Mr. ex-Sheriff Roper was in the vice-
chair. Prior to the dinner a very satisfactory report was
circulated among the guests. After the cloth had been
removed, the Chairman proposed " Success to the
Licensed Victuallers' Association," and numerous other
local toasts. The last toast proposed was " Prosperity
to the city of York," after which the company broke up,
highly gratified with, the evening's entertainment.
HONESTY REWARDED.—A few days since, as a
poor man, named Ward, in the-employ of Mr. Thomas
Wheatley, the contractor, was filling a mud-cart near
the Greyeoat School, Greenwich, he observed a dirty
piece of paper, and on taking it up, he found it to be a
501. note. He took it to Mr. S. Noble, who advised him
to keep it until he heard of an owner. He did so, but
ultimately he went to the Greenwich Bank, and the
name of Bennett, soap manufacturer, was discovered on
the back of the note. This gentleman was written to,
andidentified the note. As a recompense for honesty,
Mr. Bennett ordered Ward, the finder of the note, to be
paid, through the Nelson-street Bank, Greenwich, the
sum of 2s. 6d. per week for life.—Kentish Mercury.

THE AFFAIRS OF SWITZERLAND.
The following letter served as an introduction to
ning to the President of the Diet, under
the memorandum addressed by Sir Stratford Can-
10th of January :
" M. le President,—The resumption of the sittings
date Berne,
of the Diet, and many circumstances that have
oc-
curred since our last conference, have induced me to
submit to you a few observations of a character simi-
lar to those I previously communicated to you. I
hope your Excellency will regard them as a proof of
the interest which my Government has constantly
taken in the affairs of Switzerland during the present
complications. And in that conviction you will do
me the hoaour to read with the greatest attention the
memorial here annexed, and communicate it without
delay to the Members of the Diet."

The following is a copy of the memorandum
The Helvetic Confederation has just been exposed
to a painful trial. It emerged from it ins so brilliant a
manner, that all eyes are directed towards it with the
liveliest interest for the future destinies reserved to
it. At the moment when the Diet recommences its
labours with a view to accomplish its mission, every-
body inquires what character shall be imparted to
them. A very serious responsibility devolves on that
assembly. Two courses are open to it. If it follow
one, it may apply the fruits of its triumph to the wel-
fare of the common country; if it rushes into the
other, it will prolong the painful impressions of war,
and postpone for a long time the re-establishment of
the essential conditions of a durable tranquillity and
national independence. It is important to place that
point in its full light. In order to enjoy internal
pease, to preserve the means of maintaining their
neutrality, and to avoid complications with foreign
Powers, it is necessary that the Swiss cantons should
treat each other with that cordial sympathy which
results from mutual benevolence and the conviction
of common interests. It is not in the nature of
things that the preponderance of one party and
the humiliation of the other can produce such a
result. When a Government attempts to rule with
the assistance of a single party, it is obliged
to recur to arbitrary means—that is, to force,
and can rely on the fidelity of none. If we examine
the present state of public opinion we shall find that
the systematic employment of violence is dangerous
and expensive. In Switzerland it would doubtless be
regarded as a thing at variance with the manners and
institutions of the country. It would give rise to
new perturbations, movements, and reactions; and the
climax of danger and scandal would be that greater
confidence would be extended to foreigners than to
native Swiss subjects. Heaven be praised, the con-
flict has been confined to one year, and it is now
merely matter of history: It is also matter of con-
gratulation that the provisional state of things is on
the point of ceasing in the occupied cantons, and that
the Federal army will speedily be reduced. We may
add that a general amnesty is so perfectly in accord-
ance with the usages and feelings of the Swiss people
that there can be no possible doubt it will be imme-
diately recommended by the Diet, and accorded by
all the cantons.
0 What remains to be considered is reduced to two
essential points—the defrayal of the expenses of the
war and the revision of the Federal compact. It
may readily be conceived that in the first moments of
triumph there exists a disposition to make the con-
quered party pay every penalty. To conquer an
enemy and spare him—to gain and yet to pay, appear
to be inconsistencies which common sense rejects.
The majority of the Diet, even supposing the Depu-
ties had no participation in the feelings created by the
crisis, would have trusted too much to chance if in
the outset they had not made some concession to
public excitement. But now, in our opinion, cir-
cumstances permit, and duty requires, a more elevated
course and a definitive resolution in accordance with
the principles of sound policy and the permanent in-
terests of the Confederation. Justice does not war-
rant us in banishing indulgence, or in losing sight
of circumstances which explain errors, and errors,
moreover, which are expiated by defeat. It would
be taking a very wrong course were we to persist in
treating the cantons of the Sonderbund with the ex-
treme rigour to which a hostile people, though forced
to submit, does not necessarily yield. Reason, which
teaches us by past experience not to allow ourselves
to be led away by success, will perceive other
motives, not less strong, by directing a glance into
the future. Let us be just. Our task is not to
oppress, but to conciliate; to fortify the federal bond.
instead of leaving it to the risk of being broken by
the first blast of every hurricane. The Diet will
require the aid of all its members for the reform of
the compact ; there are yearns., among them who have
not heretofore acknowledged the advantage of extend.
ing the attributes of the central Government and
strengthening its authority. By more fre-
quent communications, by proofs of sincere
good-will, and by the sympathy of common
interests, they will be induced to make sacri-
fices for the desired object. The employment of
force would be neither more nor less than the dis-
avowal of the fundamental bases of the compact, and
would endanger all that for the space of thirty years
has bound Switzerland to the general System of peace
and the public law of Europe. Think how much
mischief has already been and may yet be wrought
by a hasty resolution. The first fatal consequence of
this resolution has been the exercise of arbitrary au-
thority in a country consecrated to liberty. Imme-
diately party spirit broke forth with violence, forced
loans were raised, private property was sequestrated,
partial and onerous contributions were levied on reli
gioue institutions and private individuals, finally, a
convent was suppressed and its property confiscated.
It may be added that this state of things was ren-
dered the more fearful by the decrees of several pro-
visional Governments being issued in the face of Fe-
deral troops and Federal representatives.
" To sum up all, a tax has been levied, the burden
of which must be felt through the lifetime of the pre-
sent generation. Let it not be supposed that such
seed can produce good fruit, or that the consequences
of these imprudent measures will be confined to a few
of the cantons. It is certain that every member of
the Confederation will have to bear his portion of the
burden. It will be felt politically, morally, and ma-
terially throughout all Switzerland ; and the bases of
Swiss independence will
be exposed to the danger of
reaction."

The note from the French Ambassador in Switzer-
land is as follows :

" The undersigned " Neufchatel, Jan. 18.
Ambassador of his Majesty the
King of the French to the
to transmit to his
Helvetic Confederation has
been ordered by his Government
Excellency the President of.
the Federal Diet the fol-
lowing note :
‘, When the Governmentu of the; King came to an
understanding with the
Great Britain, Prussia,
tovernments of Austria,
and Russia, to offer its
friendly mediation toputtitil zerland, it purposed not
only to concur in
Switzerland, but also to IC down the civil war in
which the Helvetic confedsassert the principle upon
2f)ration reposes, that is to
say, the sovereignty of the
sovereign states,
which concluded
amonfist themselves, as
theereign states, the treaty
of alliance known undername of the Federal
Pact, and in which these terms
tioned. In this respect the P, are expressly men-
nifested their opinion, when they demanded that it
should be formally understood
an
Diet that no change could be maded declared by the
in the Federal
Pact without the unanimous consent of the twenty-
two cantons.
" In thus watching for the interests of the Helvetic
Confederation, and with sentiments o faithful friend.
ship over the maintenance of the cantonal
the Powers have acted in virtue of their own right,
sovereignty,
and in perfect conformity with the acts,
which have
regulated the situation of Switzerland in Europe ;
for the Helvetie Confederation Was only reconstituted
in 1814 and 1815 by the co-operation of the Powers.
It was that co-operation which induced several of the
ointons, and particularly the cantons of Schwyz,
Appenzell, and Interior and Lower Unterwalden, to
re-enter the Confederation, which they only h
did on
receiving from the Diet, and likewise f
Powers, the assurance that their sovereigntyfrom
ante
religion would ever be respected. And
whentunite,
the
Powers, wishing to reconcile, and ultimately
the interests:of:Switzerlandvvith the general interest
erest of
Europe, accorded to the Confederation thus reconsti-
tuted some important territorial concessions, and the
perpetual neutrality of its territory, they did so out of
consideration for the essential foundations of the Co-
nfederation, and in the confidence that those foundations
would be loyally maintained ; and this is formally
specified by the diplomatic acts and documents of that
epoch.
" The advantages accorded to Switzerland, and the
engagements which the Powers have contracted
toward her, are therefore correlative and attached to
the essential basis of the organization of the Confe-
deration. And when the Powers who have acc
plished their engagements towards the Swiss claim.
from them the maintenance of the principles to which
their engagements correspond, they
on-i e y exercise
incontestable right, which they derive from the an
treaties upn of the o which are based the rights same
Con-
federation itself.

in Switzerland, and of what is now., passing, the
Powers are in a situation to exercise that right, for
they can only, then events
