SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.
The telegraph from Hurst announces that the
Vanderbilt, steamship, from New York, passed
that station at 8.30 a.m. She left on the 10th

The Univers is the only journal which, up to the
present moment, feels or affects anger at the result
of the trial of Bernard. The gross ignorance it be-
trays, as well as the insolence of its tone, suffices to
indicate the source of its inspiration. As for the
hurrahs which seem to have angered the Univers
so much, they were, perhaps, a sort of reply to the
offensive addresses and menaces of the colonels,
which are not yet forgotten.
It would be incorrect to take the Univers as tho
interpreter of public opinion here in the case of
Bernard. With the exception of the most ram.
pant anti-English, remarkable for ignorance and
prejudices, the feeling, generally speaking, seems
to be that the accused had a perfectly fair trial, and
that the jury decided on the evidence brought be-
fore them.
The Patric comments on the acquittal of Bernard

It is said that additional police agents are ap-
pointed at one of the stations of the Northern
Railway, near Paris, for greater efficiency in the
examining of passports of persons coming by that
line to Paris. The same has been done at Calais,
Boulogne, and other ports on the coast. Two ves-
sels going to Iceland on some scientific expedition
had received orders to touch at one of the ports in
Ireland. It is now said that an order has just been
sent to them by telegraph not to touch at any Irisk
port on their vogage out.
The tragic occurrence which took place at tyro
o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, in the Calle
del Cara, en, one of the streets leading to the Puerta
del Sol, and the most frequented thoroughfare in
Madrid, is much talked of. A person of the name
of Ribera plunged a poignard, or rather short
sword, twice into the body of Colonel Verdago.
The crime was committed with the utmost delibera-
tion, and the assassin made no attempt at escape.
When the last accounts left, the victim was still
alive, but there was hardly a hope of saving him.

SWITZERLAND.
The Radical party of Friburg mado the munici-
pal elections, which took place a few days ago, the
pretext of disturbances, which at length became so
serious that the authorities had to employ the
armed force to re-establish order. The Council of
State caused the public-houses frequented by the
Radicals to be closed, and published a proclamation
exhorting the people to be peaceable.
