SWITZERLAND•

The Baden Gazette states that officers have been
gent on extraordinary missions to the different
courts of Europe to notify the late grand ducal
change. Baron de Gimminger, orderly officer to
the Grand Duke, has been sent to Biarritz for the
purpose.
According to accounts from Berne of the 10th,,
the inquiry into the affair of Neufchatel is being
carried on with great activity by MM. Amiet and
Duplan. It appears that the Federal Council is
desirous of bringing the affair to a termination as
promptly as possible, and it is probable that the
Court of Assizes will have accomplished its task
before the end of October. The greatest readiness
is evinced to set the prisoners at liberty the mo-
ment it is proved that they have taken no direct
part in the late affair. The examining magistrate
has already released M. do Perregaux, ex-council-
lor of State, MM. de Chambrier (father and son),
Ferrisse, Bovet, Lardz (an advocate), Philippe, and
others. A special service has been celebrated in
the church of the Castle for the 500 prisoners.
They are allowed to Balk in squads by turns on the
terrace. Among them are two ecclesiastics, MM.
Guillebert and Sauvain. The prisoners are well
treated, and a sanitary bulletin is published every
day for the satisfaction of their families. Political
news are communicated to them, and they are thus,
it is said, becoming convinced of the folly of their
attempt. Many royalists have fled. The follow-
ing is the text of the note, under date of the sth,
by the Prussian envoy, Count de Sidow, to the
Swiss Confederation, on the occasion of the late
outbreak at Neufchatel :—" The undersigned,
privy councillor, and envoy of his Majesty the
King of Prussia to the Swiss Confederation, being
informed of the late events of which the duchy of
Neufchatel has been the theatre, renews, whilst
maintaining for his Government the faculty. of
taking an ulterior decision in the most solemn and
positive manner, the legal reserves which he had
already made on the 2d and 3d March, 1848, as
likewise later, on the occasion of the revolution of
Neufchatel. These reserves refer to the ancient
and recent violation of the rightslof the King of
Prussia as sovereign duke of Neufchatel and. of
Valengin, without any distinction in respect to the
sources from which these violations have pro-
ceeded."

maica, 153 from Constantinople, 205 from Hambro', 501
from Port Philip, 20 from Ostend, 1,041 from Alps Bay,

colonial parcels, as manufacturers are well in stock, are
very dull.

3'LIB BRAEMAR GATHERING.

TI-Le annual gathering of the Highlanders of Mar
took :place at Mar Castle on Thursday, for the per-
forrartnce of Highland games and the practice of
athletic sports. The weather was very fine, and,
th,3 Queen having signified her intention to honour
tb,e meeting with her presence, a very large num-
b er of spectators were present on the occasion.
.A:c one o'olock the Farquharson Highlanders
'3...astered in front of the Invercauld Arms in
Castletown, and marched to the old castle of Mar,
where the games were to come off. The men were
in Highland costume, carried the banners of the
clan, and were led by their chief. The Duff High-
landers, the Atholl Highlanders, and the Forbes
Highlanders' who were wont to muster in large
numbers at former gatherings since the Queen came
to reside at Balmoral, did not appear on this occa-
sion, so that the scene did not present that mar-
tial-looking character which used to be its chief
feature ; but the number of strangers in the park
and on the castle terrace exceeded that of any for-
mer meeting.

The gam—es commenced about half-past two
o'clock, and by three the Royal cortege drove up.
The Queen was received with cheers. The Queen,
Prince Albert, and the Royal children were all at-
tired in the Highland dress ; but the Earl of Cla-
rendon, Colonel Phipps, General Grey, and the
other members of the suite were not in kilts. On
the terrace there was a very large display of Celtic
beauty and fashion, the Farquharsons and Duffs
being the more distinguished of the company.
When the Court was seated, the games were con-
tested with animation. They consisted of putting
the stone, tossing the caber, running foot-races,
dancing Highland dances to the music of the bag-
pipe, and such like, now so well known and com-
monly exhibited as to need no particular description.
Suffice it to say that that they were keenly con-
tested, and that the prizemen were considered to
be fully up to the mark.
The Duchess of Kent was not present, but there
was a distinguished party from Aberff. eldie, while
among the strangers were Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P.,
Lord and Lady Lovaine, Sir John Hope, &c.
The Queen left at five o'clock, after which a second
party were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Farquhar-
son to luncheon iu the Castle, and in the evening
there was a ball, which terminated the festivities of
the day.

indeed, it is almost impossible to quote thorn accurately.
Some inferior parcels may be had as low as 30s. per cwt.,
and prime qualitieg rule from 4/. 4s. to 5/. The duty is
about 275,0001. Old hops are unusually low in price.

PRIMROSE-HILL.

The procession arrived on Primrose Hill about three
o'clock, previous to which between two and three thou-
sand persons had assembled. At one time it was an-
ticipated the proceedings would have been summarily
brought to a close, for about half•past 2 o'clock a pelting
shower of rain fell, which caused numbers to seek shelter
in the houses of the neighbourhood and under trees. A ray
of sunshine shortly after shone forth, which infused fresh
vigour and enthusiasm into those assembled. The sky
again overcast., and continued so for some time, but ulti-
mately it cleared off, and the weather was delightfully
fine.

Mr. Bligh, who acted as marshal of the proceedings,
appeared on the ground before the procession arrived,
and by his admirable arrangements a space was speedily
cleared for the reception of the hero of the day, his
friends, and the committee, and for the accommodation
of the representatives of the press, but the overpowering
number' and determination of the "sovereign people"
set his good intentions and directions at defiance,
and the utmost confusion prevailed for a con-
siderable period, and it was only by physical force exerted
to its utmost that every man could maintain his own.

As the procession arrived the crowd beca►ue more
dense, and the conduct of those present was the
most disgraceful imaginable. The rush became
so great that pee Pie were in imminent peril

THE MOORS AND FORESTS.

We have never been obliged, by the same cause,
to offer so meagre a statement of sport to our rea-
ders as we are compelled to do this week. Our
correspondents in many of the shooting districts
have literally nothing to say on the hitherto ex-
citing subject of game, and sportsmen generally
prefer saying nothing about a week's bad sport to
publishing it. We have been requested to insert
a contradiction of a statement regarding the Ban-
chor shootings, which has been going the round of
the papers for the last ten days or more. It is
published as a fact that on this shooting ground
not more than an average of four to eight brace
have been killed. Now, the actual number killed
on the 12th was 54l brace, besides hares and
plovers, and the average number to each gun is
' from 14 to 18, in place of from 4 to 8, per day.
From the Gairloch grounds we are told that the
grouse are strong and healthy, and that the sports-
men there found as many young birds as last year
—a piece of good fortune of which few can boast
elsewhere. The party have had good sport, and
Mr. Randall and the Messrs. Pinckney have bagged
up to the 4th inst., 718 head of grouse, 100 head
of black game, 5 roe-deer, and 3 red-deer. We are
glad to be able to report also that at Tulloch, Major
first and his brother, F. 11. first, Esq., continue
to enjoy good sport, and that the birds falling to
their guns are in good condition, and tolerably
Plentiful. At Novar, Sir A. Cockburn, Mr. E.
James, Q.C., and Mr. Rennie, shot 530 brace of
grouse, four red-deer, and several roe, up to last
week. The Marquis of Bath and Lord Ossulston
killed 20 stags at4Glenfeshie. The deer shooting
of Strathconau maintains its character as good.
Mr. Latouche, wl, )0 •ts had such excellent sport
this season in the forest, has added four fine stags
to his list of sport. Two of them were royal,
and weighed ovei 16 stone each. On Thursday he
killed a splendid stag, 'weighing 18st. 91b. It had
a very fine wild head, but with only eight points ;
his head must have been clean for a long time, as
the horns were quite black and the points very
sharp and white.—lnverness Courier.
The reports from the moors, says the Scottish
Guardian, grow fewer every week. In fact, most
of the sportsmen have given up grouse shooting,
while others are gone south.

TUE RUSSIAN SUGAR
.DUTIES,--The Russian Govern-
ment has published a notice, making modifications in the
import duty on sugar of all kinds, with the exception of
that made from beetroot. For refined sugar in loaves a
duty of 5 roubles (the rouble is 41r.) the poud (about 161
kilogrammes), is substituted for the previous prohibition,
by all the frontiers except Odessa, where it was admitted
on the payment of 3 roubles, which duty remains un-
changed. For raw sugar the previous duty of 3 roubles,
3 roubles 20 copecks, and 3 roubles 80 copecks, accord-
ing to the place of importation, is replaced by a uniform
one of 3 roubles (the copeck is worth 4c.) The above
changes are only applicable to imports by sea, those by
land still reiesining prohibited, except in the kingdom of
Poland.

PRIMROSE-HILL.

The spot appointed for the mass meeting was reached
about two o'clock, at which tune there was a very large
attendance of persons, and "the business of the day"

As the Chartist mob was passing Pall-mall about 2
o'clock to-day, Miss Bella Copeland, of the Haymarket
Theatre, who accidentally became mingled with the
crowd, had her pocket picked of her purse and all the
money it contained.

SWITZERLAND.

The Baden Gazette states that officers have been
sent on extraordinary missjons to the different
courts of Europe to notify the late grand ducal
change. Baron de Gimminger, orderly officer to
the Grand Duke, has been sent to Biarritz for the
purpose.

According to accounts from Berne of the 10th,
the inquiry into the affair of Neufchatel is being
carried on with great activity by MM. Atniet and
Duplan. It appears that the Federal Council is•
desirous of bringing the affair to a termination as
promptly as possible, and it is probable that the
Court of Assizes will have accomplished its task
before the end of October. The greatest readiness
is evinced to set the prisoners at liberty the mo-
ment it is proved that they have taken no direct
part in the late affair. The examining magistrate
has already released M. de Perregaux, ex-council-
lor of State, MM. de Chambrier (father and son),
Ferrisse, Bovet, Lardz (an advocate), Philippe, and
others. A special service has been celebrated in
the church of the Castle for the 500 prisoners.
They are allowed to walk in squads by turns on the
terrace. Among them are two ecclesiastics, MM.
Guillebert and Sauvain. The prisoners are well
treated, and a sanitary bulletin is published every
day for the satisfaction of their families. Political
news are communicated to them, and they are thus,
it is said, becoming convinced of the folly of their
attempt. Many royalists have fled. The follow-
ing is the text of the note, under date of the sth,
by the Prussian envoy, Count de Sidow, to the
Swiss Confederation, on the occasion of the late
outbreak at Neufchatel :—" The undersigned,
privy councillor, and envoy of his Majesty the
King of Prussia to the Swiss Confederation, being
informed of the late events of which the duchy of
Neufchatel has been the theatre, renews, whilst
maintaining for his Government the faculty of
taking an ulterior decision in the most solemn and
positive manner, the legal reserves which he had
already made on the 2d and 3d March, 1848, as
likewise later, on the occasion of the revolution of
Neufchatel. These reserves refer to the ancient
and recent violation of the rightstof the King of
Prussia as sovereign duke of Neufchatel and of
Valengin, without any distinction in respect to the
sources from which these violations have pro-
ceeded."

R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
. FICIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
iecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever befoie used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.ls2, Fleet-street. At

ART UNION OF LONDON.

A large engraving, by J. T. Willmore, A. R. A., from
the celebrated picture by Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A.,
and Sir Augustus Callcott, R.A,, entitled "Harvest in
the Highlands," and intended for subscribers to the
above union, has just been published. It is admirably
executed, and cannot fail to give satisfaction in all quar-
ters, where the love of art and of the wild and romantic
in nature is to be met with. There need be little fear for
of the prosperity of the union, so long as it offers,
amongst its inducements to subscriptions, the certainty
of receiving an engraving like this.

AUSTEIL

(Front the Times Corres ponclent.)
VIENNA, Jan. 25.—The great question of the
day still is—" Will England agree to the prelimi-
naries of peace as they now stand, or will she be-
fore she signs insist on a more precise wording of
the fifth proposition f" It was yesterday related
in diplomatic circles that the British Minister at
this Court had received a despatch from his
Government " containing news unfavourable to
the cause of peace," but Count Buol and M.
de Bourqueney still maintain that the British
Cabinet cannot,
,and indeed will not, persist
in refusing to attach its signature to a docu-
ment which, although drawn up in Vienna,
was revised and corrected in London. The signa-
ture of the preliminaries of peace by England is
a matter which concerns France rather than Aus-
tria, as you will at once perceive by the following
brief account of what formerly took place between
the three Powers in respect to them. This Govern-
ment being aware that it did not enjoy the full
confidence of British statesmen, forwarded its pro-
positions to Paris. From that city they were, after
having been slightly modified, sent to Loudon,
where some important changes and additions were
made. After a complete understanding had been esta-
blished between the British and French Cabinets,
the latter sent back the revised propositions to the
Austrian Government, at the same- time stating
that they would be accepted by England and
France, if previously unconditionally accepted by
Russia. The language recently employed by a
French diplomatist, when the matter was men-
tion©d in his presence, ran thus :—" The proposi-
tions were so thoroughly discussed by the English
and French Governments before they were sent
back to Austria, that both Powers are morally
bound to consider them conditions of their own
making."

A letter from Constantinople of the*l4th, in the
Austrian, Correspondence, says :—"The import
duties on corn and flour have been suppressed for
three months in consequence of the high price of
provisions. Some snow fell to-day. The Austrian
steamer Taurus has left for the mouth of the
S aline."

The Emancipation of Brussels says :—" We re-
ceive from Vienna an important communication,
the signification of which will not escape reflecting
men. France and England believed that Brussels
would be the best place for the approaching peace
negotiations, and diplomatists already began to
consider the capital of Belgium as destined to give
its name to the treaty about to be concluded. This
choice was agreed to by the Emperor Napoleon.
But it has been ascertained at Vienna that the Em-
peror Alexander preferred Paris to any other town,
in order to arrive more quickly at a satisfactory
conclusion, and to give anew proof of the esteem
which he entertains for the Sovereign of France.
Negotiations will accordingly take place at Paris."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The tide of success seems fairly to have set in at this
theatre. Night after night, ever since the production of
the pantomime, money has been refused at the doors to
a very considerable amount. 'lle glorious pantomime
of " Hey, Diddle, Diddle ; or Harlequin and the Seven
Ages of Man," continues to increase in attraction each
night of its representation. We never saw it "go"
better than it did last evening. A great variety of new
tricks have been introduced, and altogether so good a
pantomime as "Hey, Diddle, Diddle," has not been pro-
duced since the celebrated one of "brother Goose."
The Wednesday morning performances continue im-
mensely attractive.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Jan. 28.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Mona RUSSIAN PILL Boxis.—Another despatch gun-
boat, the Lapwing, was launched by the Messrs. White
on Saturday. She is a splen.lisl vessel, 180 feet in
length, 28 feet 7 inches in breadth, and measures
712 18-94 tons. A. sister ship, to be called the Ring-
dove, is to be launched next tides. Four others (two
gun-boats and two mortar-boats) are in a very forward
state, and are to be launched in March. There are
more than 500 bands employed in the yard, and they
work by gas-light early and late, so much despatch is
required to get these ships to sea within the contract
time. These Russians must be regular gluttons if they
are not more than satisfied with the quantity of shot
and shell that we shall be in a situation to shower into
them next summer.

BROW.

According to the accounts from Constantinople,
it is in contemplation to send Ahmet Vesitz to
Teheran as Turkish Ambassador, in order to ar-
range the differences which have arisen between

Persia and Great Britain. Accounts have been
received from Trebizond to the Bth, but they are
without interest. Letters from Athens to the

18th represent affairs in that capital under a
more favourable aspect. King 0 tho is giving
brilliant fetes, to which the officers of the expedi-

tionary corps are invited. His Majesty is said to
be inclined to make many useful reforms. A fete
is, it is said, to be given to Riza Pacha.
The Egyptian division, which had been sent to
Erzeroum, has been obliged to return to Trebi-
zond, after having suffered very severely from the
weather. The cholera has broken out at Trebi-
zond, and the sick are sent to Siuope. Moukli
Pacha has been sent to Erzeroum to organise the

defence of that place, which now contains a gar.
rison of 20,000 men. General Williams has left

for Moscow, where he will remain prisoner. The
neighbourhood of Smyrna has been at length

cleared of the brigands who have for so long in-
fested it. The Greek Chambers have passed a

law raising the duty on corn brought from the
Danube to Greece, and reshipped for the west,

from 1 per cent. to 5 per cont.

General Gortschakoff arrived at St. Petersburg

come to an understanding on a proposition rela-
tive to the acceptance of the conditions of peace
to be submitted to the Germanic Diet, in conse-
quence of some fresh differences which have

day." He had at one time entertained the ides
that the hereditary curse! to which his father had
fallen a victim would descend upon him, but the
calm of the forest life, and the mastery over his
own passions had at last sobered and tempered his
dangerous excitement. In his peaceful retreat
near Ashton he was another being, he could
now enjoy social pleasures and interest himself in
the concerns of his fellow-creatures and rejoice that
ho had been given inward peace. It may be sug-
gested by sonic) that Gilbert would have led a more
useful life in England following the pursuits in
which he so much excelled, and cultivating the
glorious talents that were given to him. This is
possible, but only those who are tempted know
what it is to resist, and it way enough for him to
subdue himself. To those whe consider the victory
over self more noble than the capture of kingdoms,
the cause in which lie fought, and the spirit which
made him conqueror at last, will not be considered
unworthy of all those years of travail. They will
recognise the power which has portrayed the
career of Gilbert Mas3enger, the Principles which
are therein apparent, and the bright example
shown.
