TREATMENT OF THE SWISS REFUGEES
BY THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES.
The Courrier Suisse gives the fotowing extract
of a dispatch from the Swiss charge d'affaires at Paris
to the Federal Council of Switzerland, dated the 9th

inst.
This morning, four refugees coming from Switzer-
land have presented themselves at the Legation, and
complained that they have been made to travel on foot
from Mulhouse to Tonnere by Besancon, while their
baggage was sent on by the roulage. They stated that
they were treated very harshly all the way, accom-
panied by the gendarmerie for three-quarters of a league
from Mulhouse, and that some of them only received 30,
others 50 centimes per league. I immediately called
upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs to remonstrate in
my turn against such proceedings. The Minister an-
swered that he was extremely annoyed at them, and
that he would not fail to desire his colleague of the In-
terior to transmit this very day, by telegraph, the order
to transport the refugees in carriages, as had been
agreed between us. I shall call again to-morrow upon
the Minister, to obtain the assurance of the execution of
the said instructions, which I shall besides mention this
evening to the Minister of the Interior. As to the bag-
gage, I have promised the four refugees they shall re-
ceive it free of cost at Havre. I explained to them, be-
sides, that it had been agreed they were to travel in
vehicles, and that this agreement not having been
ful-
filled was owing to a misunderstanding. They have
.e
been led to the conviction that this error was not to
attributed to the federal authorities."

THE SAILORS' HOME AT PORTSMOUTEL--We have
great pleasure in announcing that in a few days the Ports-
mouth Sailors' Home will be in active operation, and those
friends of our seamen who have so liberally contributed
towards its establishment will have the gratification of see..
ing the benefits it is calculated to bestow enjoyed by the
objects of their kind commiseration. The situation selected
for the establishment is decidedly good, being in a public
thoroughfare of high respectability, and removed altogether
from the localities where the lures of vice have been held out
to our sailors, and where they have too frequently been the
easy victims of those heartless miscreants into whose hands
they have falleta.— Fortsnwuth Guardian.
ANOTHER BOILER ExrLosioN.--Anotber boiler ex-
plosion has taken place. At Kirkaldv, on Friday last, a plate
gave way, most likely in the top of the fire-box, of a colliery
boiler, and the unfortunate attendant was literally boiled to
death in the water which rushed out upon him, and filled the
ash pit in which he was,--north British Mail.
