TREE :EM, n No. 111.,
is the great Continental Remedy for Syphilis and Secondary Symp-
toms. It also constitutes a certain cure for Scurvy, Scrofula, and all
Cutaneous Eruptions, removing and expelling in its course all comni-

,he virus of disease, and expel it with the insensible perspiration
through the medium of the pores of the skin and urine, and is a
never-failing remedy for that class of disorders which unfortunately
the English Physician treats with Mercury, to the inevitable dastrue-

An accident which, though comic enough, might
easily have had a tragical ending, occurred the .other
day at Madame Tassaud's Exhibition. A medical stu-
dent, examining the guillotine in the Chamber of Horrors,
took it into his head that the sort of yoke which fits
down on the shoulders of the criminal to hold him in
his place would not be sufficient to confine a person
who struggled. His curiosity on this point led him to
watch till the place was empty, when be actually put
himself in, letting down the yoke. He soon found
that he was quite unable to lift it, and it at once flashed
into his mind that the sharp axe which was suspended
over his neck could not be very firmly fixed or it
would not fall (as it does) with a touch. He was afraid
to struggle, lest the shaking should bring it down and
at once deposit his head in the basket of sawdust below
him, into which his eyes were of necessity steadily
looking. Having stayed some time in this plight, he
was overjoyed to hear the approach of a visitor, whom
he suppliantly implored to rele ~se him. " I'm think-
ing," said the gentleman (a Scotch visitor of the metro-
polis) to his wife, "I'm thinking he must be hired to
show bow the thing acts, and I think we'd better not
interfere." So the luckless student wag left till M. Tug-
sand came in, and made fast the axe before releasing
him. The axe has been removed and laid by the side
to prevent future accidents.—Weekly Registrar.
AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL ECONOMY.—To know why
property is depreciated in this colony, and how that pro-
perty is to be retrieved in value and wages sustained,
are elements of a problem demanding primary considera-
tion. Were we to confine the instance to Geelong, it
might be asked from what cause springs the decadence
in the value of property ? The answer might be a plau-
sible one, and at the first glance satisfactory. It might
be alleged that the settlement of the colony denuded the
town of a superfluous population, and dispersed them
through the interior ; it might be alleged that capitalists
who invested money in country lands were mere specu•
lators. Both causes are worthy of consideration, but do

not meet the question at issue. There is an evident
crumbling away of everything into which colonial enter.
prise centres. There appears to be a dispensation abroad
which encourages the few who have money to hug it,
and entails ruin on all those who, by using capital, em-
ploy labour, benefit the colony, and rain themselves.
Instead of inquiring why this state of things should be
—instead of submitting to them passively, and trust-
ing " that when things are at the worst they will
mend,"
we would counsel examination, which, if en-
tered upon, would lead to a monetary cause and a cur-
rencyo solution. The wants, the luxuries of the popula-
titvanotasre not lessened, but the means to represent these
amonotand luxuries we lack—and why ? Because the

So long as our sovereign would pass swoop: ourselves at
full value, the exporter of gold would not he nh'el to get
hold of it for less than 20s. If the Govern ' ment -
would
give SOS. per oz. the banks would not be able to buy at
765. per oz. The difference in price would be saved to
the colony, but far more than the difference in price
would the colony advantage by a monetary medium con-
stantly supplied and only limited to demand. If the
landlord, the householder, the digger, the agriculturist,
the labourer, could be brought calmly to see their true
interests, their extrication from embarrassment would be
evident, and could be pointed out clearly ; but so long as
a limited amount of capital, supplemented by huge cre-
dits, imperils our Victoria, and the gold interest is ne-
glected, property will continue to decline in value,
though the 53(1 clause be repealed, the ballot main
tained, triennial Parliaments made the lair of the lend,
and property qualaication be abolished.--Geelong No's'

it could be shown that the same amount could not be
raised in any other way. In conclusion, Mr. Langston
thanked them for the kind and flattering reception they
had given him, and wished them all many happy years.
(Much cheering.)
Mr. CARDWELL, in returning thanks, said a few words
on the events of the past year, and on the subjects which
were likely to occupy the attention of parliament in the
year they had just entered. The year which had run its
course had not been without signal manifestations of God's
mercy to this realm and to the people of this kingdom.
Their late mayor had• carried to the foot of the throne
their congratulations on the restoration of peace to Eu•
rope ; but scarcely was the seal affixed to that treaty wh(is.
another danger of a far graver character threatened not
only the welfore of this kingdom, but of the whole world.
If there could be a calamity more prejudicial to their wel-
fare than another, or tend more to roll back the flowing tide
of human progress, it would be a serious rupture between
the elder and younger branches of the Anglo-Saxon race,
between this noble kingdom and that gigantic republic
which had spread its arms from the. Pacific to the Atlan-
tic—a people descended from the same origin, speaking the
same language, their friends and rivals in commerce and
maritime power, spreading their literature and laws, and
diffusing with them the principles of civilisation and human
progress over all the nations of the globe. (Cheers.) By
mutual good feeling and obserVance of mutual good sense
on both sides, which was the characteristic of the race,
that calamity had happily been averted, (Cheers.) He
believed that their 'relations with that country never stood
on a more permanent basis, and he hoped that a long
career of usefulness was open to the whole of this great
Anglo-Saxon race. (Loud cheers.) Although the cloud in
the west was dispelled, there was no doubt that some
streaks of darkness prevailed in the eastern horizon ; but he
believed that the danger would be averted, and he trusted
that the year which had just closed had ended the reign of
discord among mankind. (Cheers.) What then were the
anticipations, and what were their duties in the year they
were now entering? While they reflected with gratitude
and pride on the heroic services of those who not only sus-
tained but exalted, on the face of the whole wcrld, the
ancient fame of England—(cheers)—while they looked back
with pride on the records of martial intrepidity unparal-
leled in history, they might look forward to 1857, with
sanguine expectations that in the relations of commerce
and in the enterprising and successful pursuits of industry
they might add to the power and greatness of this country.
(Cheers.) Their first duty in the House of Commons would
be to apportion, on the return of peace, the scale of expen-
diture befitting this great commercial country—on the one
hand, not slow to defend those establishments which were
the best safeguards of their interests and the best guaran
tee for a permanent and enduring peace—(cheers)—and,
on the other hand, determined to retrench all unneces-
sary expenditure, and to give the country the benefit of a
proper remission of taxation. (Cheers.) He had no doubt
that the Government would take an early opportunity of
setting their views before the country, and it would be st
sincere pleasure to him to support them in the prosecution
of that policy which he had ventured to allude to. (Cheers.)
There was no part of the duty of a member of parliament
which he discharged with so much pleasure as supporting
the remission of public burdens. He had had the honour
of serving in her Majesty's Treasury. when greater remis-
sions of taxation were made than at at any previous time
in the financial history of this country. It was not possible
to escape witnessing its result, and its effect not only on the
material interests of the kingdom, but morally on all who
lived by labour, placing them, as it did, in easier circum-
stances, and giving them an appetite for higher things, and
for the cultivation of the intellectual powers. (Cheers.)
They could not witness such effects without wishingto have
a fair and proper mitigation of the public burdens; but atthe
same time he thought it would be unfair to the government,
when they were about to enter into a full statement of
their views, to interfere and attempt to forestall them by
making any statement as to this or that peculiar burden.
(Cheers.) Believing as he did that they would faithfully
fulfil their duties, and give expression to their opinions,
he felt assured that the House of Commons would give
them a calm and dispassionate attention, and he should
rejoice if their policy for the readjustment of the public
burdens was such as to entitle them to the support of the
House of Commons. (Cheers.) His hon. colleague had re-
minded them of the vexation belonging to the income tax,
and it was the duty of every government and every Hous
of Commons to mitigate its hardships by every means in
their power. When that branch of the revenue recently

- .
lost its chairman by death, the person appointed to fill his
place was no partisan, but one who had risen from the
lowest ranks of the service ; he bad been a commissioner,
and was made chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue
for no other reason but his just and faithful services in the
lower branches. Although he (Mr. Cardwell) was not cog-
nisant of what had been going on at Gloucester in reference
to the income tax, be argued from the appointment of Mr.
Pressly to the chairmanship of the Board of Inland Re-
venue, that any complaiats made to him would meet with
all the attention which the people had a right to expect.
(Cheers.) He did not know whether his hearers had read a
work recently written by the great French orator and
statesman, M. Guizot, who, in speaking of the events of
20 years ago, and his personal intimacy with the late Sir
R. Peel, remarked that the trait in the character of that
lamented statesman which struck him most was the deep
anxiety he felt about the condition of the labouring classes
of this country, which he said was a danger and disgrace
to civilisation, and that instant measures ought to be taken
to remedy it ; and he (Mr. Cardwell) asked them to consi-
der what had been done since that time, not only by one
government, but by successive governments, and he could
refer to such measures without running the risk of exciting
any discord among them. In the first place, they had set
free the industry and labour of this country, and the re-
sults had been that in the last year, when they had scarcely
escaped the conflict of war, but not its pecuniary
pressure, the exported industry of this country doubled
itself, and realized an amount exceeding the whole expen-
diture of the war which was now closed ; clearly showing
that the friendly interchange of commerce could not fail to
contribute to the riches of this country. (Cheers) What
had been the effect with regard to education ? Could they
refer without a blush of shame to what took place twenty
years ago; or revert without gratitude to the great and
extraordinary changes which the twenty years had pro-
duced ? It was thought by many at that time that to
improve men's minds would only tend to produce insubor-
dination, but experience had shown the fallacy of that
view, and that it was a perfect delusion. (Cheers.) He
rejoiced to hear that the Town Hall in which they were
assembled, as well as adjacent rooms, were made of daily
use for some educational purposes or other. Two hundred
years ago, one of the greatest masters of the English lan-
guage, John Milton, thus addressed the Houses of Parlia
ment—" Lords and Commons of England, consider whereo.
ye are, and the people whereof yo are governors; a nation
not dull and slow, but of quick, ingenious, and piercing
spirit, capable of reaching wherever the human faculty may
soar, what wants here with such a pregnant and towardly
soil but wise and faithful labourers, to make a knowing
people a nation of prophets, of sages, and of worthies?"
(Cheers.) That was 200 years ago ; but it was only within
the last 20 years that any attention had been paid by par-
liament to the material interests of the people, the reduc-
tions of their burdens, the stimulation of their industry,
and that great harvest of education, which had been se:

Last night a meeting of the Swiss, resident in London.
was held at Radley's Hotel, Blackfriars, to consider an ad-
dress to the Federal Council upon the questions in dispute
between their fatherland and the King of. Prussia. Care
was taken that the meeting was confined to Swiss. Shortly
after 7 o'clock the large room of the hotel was filled by an
assembly at once enthusiastic and unanimous. The pro-
ceedings were conducted in the French language. The
chair was taken by M. John Rapp, Consul-General of the
Swiss Confederation, who was supported by M. A. Doxat,
M. Jules Bordier, M. J. C. im Thurn, M. J. Petry, M. G.
Prevost, M. A. P. Prevost, M. C. Verry, M. A. Pasteur,
M. Jules Stauffer, M. P. Broe, Bovet, M. Gustave
''Bovet, M. P;Walther, M. Beaume, M. J. W. Baeschlin,
Pictet, Captain Kesse, Sze
The Chairman opened the proceedings by expressing a
hope that the meeting would be conducted with the mode-
ration and judgment which ought to characterize a public
assembly.
Mr. P. BROE, having been called upon by the chairman,
slid he should hesitate in addressing such an assembly if he
did not know that each of his words would find an indulgent
and eloquent echo in their hearts. (Cheers.) He knew
that they would make up by the warmth of their senti-
ments for the feebleness of his expressions. They were all
aware of the gravity of the events which were taking
place in Switzerland. A cry of alarm had arisen among
the Swiss both at home and abroad. They had felt the
need of union, of calculating their means of defence, of
t dring counsel how they might be most useful to their
commony country. It was scarcely necessary in such an
assembly to recapitulate the circumstances which had led
to the critical position in which Switzerland found herself.
Neuchatel, whose liberties dated from the year 1214, and
whose alliance with the Swiss might be traced back to its
srliest existence, riveted in 1815 the bands which united
her to Switzerland by signing the Federal Pact. The i•-
minal rights of the Prince of Neuchatel—rights which had
had no real force and virtue except by the sanction given
to them by the States of Neuchatel in 1707—were at a
I:ter period annulled when the Neuchatelais acknowledged
the new constitution which put this State in tho rank of a
free and confederated canton. Eight years passed, and under
the order of things thus established, without the Prince
having claimed his rights or invoked the treaties said to bp
in his favour, in a time of profound peace a movement took
place in the canton to establish his authority. The insur-
gents were taken prisoners with arms in their hands. In
attacking the legal Government of their canton in the
name of a foreign Prince they had braved the authority of
the Confederation and attacked its territory. From that
moment they became amenable to the Federal Tribunal-
The Prince of Neuchatel, who had not himself the right to
claim his authority by the strong arm, even when it still
bad the shadow of legality, interfered, and demanded that
Switzerland should release the prisoners. The Federal
Council refused. The Prince then vanished behind the
King of Prussia, who threatened Switzerland with an
armed occupation. Switzerland immediately showed signs
of anPnergetic resistance. It was then that a neighbour-
ing monarch, to whom Switzerland once accorded its hos-
pitality, forgetting for a moment under the imperial purple
the simple officer of artillery to whom, and in favour of
whom, Switzerland had before given an example of heroic
devotion, interfered, and considered it his duty to recom-
mend Switzerland to yield. He ought to have known that
the word never had found, and never would find a place in
the Swiss dictionary. (Loud cheers.) A universal cry
was heard, " Resistance au prix de notre sang." (Cheers.)
All parties tendered each other the hand to sustain the
Federal 'banner. Loans were voted and subscribed by
men of all opinions. Could the Swiss now scattered in
foreign lands remain mute spectators of such scenes ? The
voice of their common country had not ceased to vibrate is
their hearts, nor had the battlefields of Sempach or Mor-
garten ceased to be present to their memory. They felt
the need of union with their countrymen at home, in order
that they might partake their sacrifices and their dargers.
Let them stand firmly together, so that there might no
longer be Bernese, or Vaudois, or Neuchatelais, or Balais,
or Genevais, or Conservatives, or Radicals. Let there only
be Swiss among them hastening to the defence of their
country, its independence and its liberties. (Cheers.)
Switzerland would then display a sublime example which
would gain for her the respect of Europe and of the civi-
lised world. Let them remember that the eyes of Switzer.
land were upon them, and that their proceedings would
exercise an immense moral influence among their fello
countrymen. (Cheers.) (Cheers.) M. Broe concluded by proposing
the adoption of the following address to the Federal
Council of Switzerland :-
1 " To their Excellencies the President and Members of the

Federal Council of Berne.t
" Gentlemen—The undersigned citizens of Switzerland,
resident in London, having assembled a the news of the
danger which menaces their country, seize the first oppor-
tunity for testifying publicly to the Federal Council their
profound recognition of the wisdom and firmness whioh it
has displayed.
" Unanimous, in the strength of her good right and her
determination to make every sacrifice to maintain her inde-
pendence, Switzerland has confided the care of her honour
to the Federal authority, and rallies her sons, without dis-
tinction of opinion, under the banner of the Confederation.
The Federal Council has justified the general confidence of
the Swiss people, and will maintain the national honour.
" May the present grave events, whatever be their issue,
result in the still greater good of the country ! May the
Confederation come forth from them united, strong, and
respected by foreign nations ! such is the ardent wish of
the subscribers.
" And may the Federal Council accept this assurance of
their indomitable attachment to Switzerland, and their
firm desire to unite their efforts with those of their fellow
citizens for the safety of their country.
" The undersigned pray you, gentlemen, to accept gra-
ciously on their own part this expression of their esteem,
and their .unanimous wishes for your individual prosperity.
" God protect Switzerland !
" London, Jan. 2, 1857."
M. STAUFFER seconded the motion.
The address was unanimously adopted, and a hearty
cheer a la Suisse was given with three times three.
Mr. BORDIER said it was the duty of the Swiss abroad to
open a subscription to assist such families as might be left
in want by their husbands and fathers being called to arms.
He had therefore to propose that a subscription be opened
for the relief of the families of the soldiers of the cantons.
M. WALTHER seconded the motion.
A committee was then appointed, and a subscription list
was opened. In the course of the evening the sum sub-
scribed was announced to be 1,781/. Several gentlemen
put their names down for 1001. each. The address to the

While the lists were in course of signature the assembly

sen., of Geneva, in English.
The proceedings terminated by the usual acknowledg-
ment to the chair.
