We have been particularly . struck with the
inbrat derived from an incident told! by the
Newark Mercury. The editor says, passing
along one of the streets he was not, a little
shocked at the sight of a well dressed and :very
iespectable looking man in a state of ;beastly
intoxication. 'he unblemished• appearance
of his clothing and the cleanliness of his . hands

the barges that were moored there, was dis
tinctly audible to his ears... The stream stole
languidly and sluggishly on. §trange and
fantastic forms rose to its surface, and, beck
oned him to approach; dark gleaming, eyes
peered from the Wafer, and seemed to mock
his hesitation, while hollow murmurs from be
hind urged him onward. He retreated a few
paces, took a short run , a desperate le* and
plunged into the river.
Not five minutes had passed When he rose
to-the water's surface; but what a:cbange had
taken place in tblit short time in all his thotts
and feelings! Life iu any form; poverty, mis
ery, starvation, anything but death. He fought
and struggled with the water that closed over
his head, and 'screamed in agonies of-terror.
The curse of his own son- rang in his ears.—
The shore—but one foot of dry :ground—he
could almost touch the• step. ;One band's
breadth nearer, and he was saved—but the
tide bore him onward, under the !dark arches
of the bridge, and he sunk to the',bottom.
Again he rose, and struggled for life. For
one instant—for one brief instant—the build

bridge Under which the current had borne
him ; the .black water and thn fast flying
clouds, were distinctly visible—once more he
sunk and again he rose—bright , flames la-fire

BASLE, Tuesday July 3, 1855.
.
'1 lefl:Lausanna by diligencre at 8 P., M. of
the Ist, on the route
,passg north over Abe ,
great ravine bridge - and' rising :steadily but
moderately some six or eight miles through
an arable and well cultivated region to the
ridge which here sepirates the Waters of the
Rhone from those of the Rhine;c whence the'
de - scent is equally' gentle for some twelve `
miles to Yoerdun at the head offthe Lake of
Neufchatel. Over this tract the: Swiss Rail
road that is to be has been completed to with
in three miles of Lausauna: - From Yoerdun
the road skirts the Lake of Neufchatel on its
north-west sidc'for anather reach of twenty
miles to the quaint and veaerable City of
Neufchatel, built upon and around a petty
spur of the Jura mountains which here ap
proach close to the Lake. I judge that this
spur or promontory was originally prized as
a stronghold, otherwise no excuse Can be
imagined for building a City at thhi point; and,
even this has long'ceased to be available, as
the eminence upon and around Which tho..city
is clustered is overlooked and commanded by
the steep acclivity of the neighboring moun
tain, which' rises doge beside it, terraced and
vine-clad nearly to its summit. :Neufchatel is
a City of 8,000 inhabitants, capital of the
Canton of like name, which is claimed 1)y the
King of Prussia as- his possession, by; virtue
of the choice of one of his ancestors in. 1707
to be its chief or statlthOlderi—Neufchatel -
being at that time a 'semi-French principality,
whereof the French princes or; Lotigueville
were nominal chiefs.. though the Governtnent
was essentially tepublicart,' in close alliance
with the Swiss Cantons, but not! formally in , .
'corporated with their Confederacy 'till 1814.
The Prussian sovereignty. interrupted ,by the
French conquestin 17 98, was resumed after
Waterloo in 1815, but thrown oT by the peo
ple-during the great convulsions'of 1848, and
thus far 'successfully repelled since that event
ful period, the Prussian monareh• being too
far away,and his route to Neufchatel too much
obstructed to admit of his backing his preten
sions by force of arms. It seem's hardly pro. •
bable that his rule will ever be ic:sumed.
The diligence stopped at Neufchatel at 3
A. M., not to
. start for Vienne nand Basle till
51—an interval too short for sleep and not
well suited (the time of day considered) for
anything else. .No hotel. being open, and I
being the only passenger set down to be taken
up again, I walked down to the Lake and
leisurely inspected the naked steamboat wharf,
thence up through the town to the mountain
side and to the head of the street up the ra
vine which separates that vine-clad steep from
the spur or ledge which was theicity's rugged
cradle, and on the summit of which towers
the.castle of its ancient princes,inow convert
ed itt part into a cantonal.capital and in part
(if I judged aright) into a prison. A.vener
able church, which, looks as if deserted by
modern worshipers for shrines of easier access, .
fronts the castle, with but a street's breadth
between them. Slowly Climbing (for I was
weary as well as sleepy) the devious road that
leads up to these edifices, I gave a lonely half
hour of the growing light to their contempla
tion, and then retraced my' lagging steps to
the post-house to await the gathering of my
prospective fellow-passengers and our start at
the appointed Minute for Bienne and Basle.
The road to Bienne (twenty miles") runs for
a few miles along the lower part of the Lake
of Neufchatel, but strikes awayhefore reach
ing its outlet in a direct line forthe actutbwest
corer of the • Lake of Bienne, (ten miles
long,) close beside which' it - pursues its - way
through a level, pleasant country to Bienne,
a rising town of some 4,500 people, situated
beside and near the outlet of the Lake of like
nameoit a point on which highroads converge
from every adjacent part of Switzerland.—
Here' most of our Neufchatel fellow-passen.
gera left us, proceeding to Soleure, and we 7
waited an hour for the ditigence.from Berne;
which was to take us to Basle. Two miles
hence our route turned abruptly to the, left,
leaving the high-road to Soleure, and -ascend
-ing for miles an arduous mounfain-paSs from
which the views backward werentenaive and
pleasing—cultivation giving plait.),%. to pastur
age and this in turn nearly crowded out by
woods—in the midst of which ire reached the
summit of the pass and began to descend
rapidly, still preserving a west 'north4rest di
rection; which seemed more likely to' take us
to Besancon; Or even Lyons, than to Basle.—
In the midst of this descent the road passes
under a magnificent arch of Stone, 'forming
a natural mountain gateway, which is known
to be as old as the Romans, by whoni it was
probably enlarged and rendered practicable.
A tilde - further is the petty village of Tann-
TICS, near the head of the valley of the Biss,
down which :our road winds henceforth in a
general north-easterly direction till it opens
into the spacious and fertile: valley of - tho
Rline—the -Bias losing itselt,in that noble
river just above the city of Battle.
The valley of the Biss (Val Montiers) is
surpassed in wildness and savage grandeur by
many others, but in beauty and romantic in- ,
terest by none. The high ranges which in
'close it at times hem it in closely between gi- '
gantic perpendicular cliffs or limestone bluffs,
then recede so as to give wean ,to broad and
fertile intervales or grassy upland elopes of
every - graceful form and outline. Occasional

houses and villages; the grassy mountain.
sides; the giant cliffs which overhang these,
and the dark evergreen forests:which encircle'
and surmount them all, form a series of land-,
stapes more enchanting than poet tor painter
ever imagined.
I bid adieu to Switzerland With a deepened
appreciation of the grandeur' of her scenery,
the excellence of her institutions, the general
nobleness of her people. Among . the latter
are mean-sealed and knavish individuals,
