The German celebration in honor Of

day, was disturbed by the French officers
who arc detained here as prisoners OF

was attacked and occupied by the French,
and several persons were injured In the

once ordered the adoption Of military
measures to put an end to the tumult, and
prevent 0 recurrence. The disturbances
were nevertheless resumed on Friday,
when ithe Tanhalle of the Germans was
again stormed by the French, and the
German flag was torn to pieces. Subse.
quently a large number Of the people Of
Zurich who sympathised with the Ger

The demand for certain classes of dress
goods, shawls, trimmings, &C., Is fairly
active, but the general state Of the market
Is neither active or satisfactory. Some
buyers are holding back, looking to fur
ther break in the price Of prints and other
domestic fabrics, and all are taking hold
OF goods with extreme caution. This Is
q healthy sign for the future, for no one
buyer Is likely to be overstoCked with
goods, and late season will intimidate
producers from turning on too many
goods. In prices there Is no radical alter.
