MARRIAGE OF MISS HELEN FAUCIT.
At. the church of St. Nicholas, Brighton, on Monday
morning, was celebrated the nuptials of Miss Helena
Faucit Saville, the charming. Helen Faucit of the dra-
matic world, with Mr. Theodore Martin, solicitor—re-
puted one of the writers in the Edinburgh Review. The
ceremony was conducted in a comparatively private
manner, though the rumour of it, quiet as it had been
kept, drew a considerable number of persons to the
sacred edifice. The wedding party arrived about ten
o'clock, the bells pealing forth merrily on their approach.
The bride looked charming, though she appeared much
agitated, and was in tears. She wore a white silk dress
trimmed with lace; a wreath of orange blossoms
encircled he head, and hence depended a rich veil. She
might have walked straight from the last act of the
Lady of Lyons, so naturally did her costume become
her. The bridal party included Mr. and Mrs. John
SaviUe, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Saville, Mr. Diddear,
Mr. W. Farren, jun., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Farren, and
Mrs. Fawcett, the bride's mother. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. H. M. Wagner, vicar of Brigh-
ton. Mr. John Saville gave the bride away. The
" sigping" bridemaids were the Misses Kate Saville and
Eliza Bruce. The ceremony was conducted throughout
in the most serious and impressive manner. At its con-
°basin n the wedding party returned in their carriages to
the Vier Hotel, where an elegant defamer awaited
them; and
via Newhaven,
afterwards the bride and bridegroom
departed, via Newhaven, for Paris.

SWITZERLAND.
The Suisse of Berne, on the subject of the differ-
ences with the Austrian authorities, says—" These
complications have arisen in consequence of the in-
correctness of the reports transmitted by the chiefs of
the Austrian posts to their superior commandants.
They state that the Austrian soldiers had never set
foot on the Swiss territory, and that all the arrests had
taken place on the Lombardian territory, whilst the
reports transmitted to the Swiss authorities state quite
the contrary. Since the Federal Commissioner has
been in the canton of Tesino explanations have taken
place, and the military authorities show themselves
disposed to listen to our remonstrances. As to the
principal fact. the seizure of the merchandise and the
arrest of the smugglers at Ii Pianazzo, Lieutenant-
General Giulay is said to have transmitted a decla-
ration that, even if the fact were doubtful, he would
restore the merchandise taken, and release the smug-
glen, Unless it were proved that the right lay entirely
on the side of Au-tria. The most essential point,
however, is not mentioned, which is as to who is to
be the judge of thii fact. It results from the inror-
mation given by M. Druey to the National Council
that the Austrian authorities have not hesitated to
order an inquiry, and to give all the satisfaction which
has.been admitted as due."

The German Customs Union having increased the
duties un certain articles of the produce of Switzer-
land, a motion for reprisals, by an augmentation of
the duties on merchandise coming from the States of
the Union into Switzerland, was made in the Swiss
National Council. This motion, after long discus-
sions, has been rejected.
