SWITZERLAND.

Mr. MAGENNIS, the new English Minister, has
arrived at Berne, and presented his credentials to the
President of the Confederation.

The general elections for the Federal Assembly of
Switzerland have just taken place. In general, there
will be but little change in the ensemble of the poli.
tical opinions of the Assembly. German-Switzerland
has re-elected almost all the members of the previous
Assembly. Lucerne has chosen two Conservatives;
Berne, out of twenty-three deputies, has elected
fifteen Radicals, and only eight Conservatives. The
latter have been chosen by the districts of Berne city.
and the Jura. In some parts of the country not more
than one-fifth of the electors voted. In the canton of
Neufchatel the opposition party abstained from voting.
Geneva has returned her old deputies. In the canton
of Vaud the Radicals have met with a complete
check. With the exception of one of their party,
who has been re-elected, the choice has fallen on Con-
aervatives. EYTEL, who is the head of the Ra-
dical party, was thrown out. A majority of Con-
servatives had been generally expected, and the result
of the elections has naturally caused some emotion in

the Governmental party. The new Federal Assembly
will meet on the Ist

Government. A
went have been elected to the Federal Assembly.

A splendid service of plate is about to be presented
to the Mayor of Southampton for his conduct as chief magis—
trate, an office which he has now filled for the space of nearly
two years.
