RIOTING IN SWITZERLAND.
SWISS AND ITALIANS HAVE A GRIEVANCE. Beene, July 80. The riots which took place in the streets at Zurich, owing to the citizens suspecting that a Swiss workman who ,had been found dead was murdered by Italians, has been renewed. The Swiss sacked the Italian houses and shot a number of police who attempted to prevent them. The military eventually restored order. July 31. * Zurich is guarded by two batallions of infantry and a squadron of cavalry. Six thousand Italians are anxious to leave immediately, and committees are chartering trains. The landlords have ejected 1500 Italians and these are camped in the woods with bonfires and pickets to prevent a surprise.
