Thm can be only one feeling in this country regarding the atrocious attempt on the life of the Ex- PEAUR of the FILIENCII. There are two points of view in which this miserable act may be regarded—its cow_ ardly baseness and its excessive folly. The destruction of the intended victim was attempted by the discharge, from a safe distance and a hidden position, of hollow projectiles, variously described as hand-grenades or ! hell ', was f!'7" ta in t 9 bt :lienaea", as it has been attended, with wounds and less of life to many innocent spectators. It is eminently characteristic of the cowardly ferocity of the vile attempt that its success wall calculated to involve the destruction not of the EMPEROR only bat of the Emetics/0-0f that beau tiful and frank-hearted lady, whose grace and gaiety have done so much to win the affections of a gallant people, softening the rigidity of power, and tem pering the sternness of usurpation. . . 11• are about the last people in the world likely to be accused of any undue sympathy with the Em peror NAPOLEON: he his had few more bitter op ponents of his usurpation—no more steady foes of his habitual neglect of constitutional franchises —co more free-spoken critics of those oc casional excesses of high-handed power which hare been the most tuavries acts of his reign. Bat to talk of Louts NAPOLEON as • tyrant and an °pruner, in the same seine in which FERDINAND end LOP= are tyrants and op pressors, is the mere madness of malignity. The EWE-me u: wv i azzi CFI whatever may have been his sins against the Repablic, has been twice over the deliberate choice of France. Ile has seen and thought much ; no present occupier of a European throne has had such wide and varied experience of men and things. On the whole, his role has been an enlightened one. Externally , he has entirely abandoned the traditions of the first Empire, and embraced the alliance with England in I a spirit of frankness and sincerity which ham, we fear, been more cordially responded to by the English people than by the English Cabinet. Internally, by the development of agriculture and finance he has singularly augmented the prosperity of his subjects and the stability of his rule. Its affords to France that which above all things France at present desideretes—a firm and organised Govern ment, readily lending itself to every development of material progress, and principally unwise in this, that It ignores the necessity of free discussion and a free literature for the most intellectual and communica tive people in Europe. And this brings us to the folly of this most absurd attempt. Suppose it had succeeded, what would have been the result? A great misfortune for Europe —a still greater for France. LOUIS NAPOLEON is shot : BA bien ! apres, what is to come in his place ? Was not this man a necessary result of the absolute failure of all other men and all other systems in France? When the Revolution of Contempt had been followed by the Republic or Surprise, and that again by the Reaction of Disgust—what remained ? Paris wanted • Republic, but France did not ; and France, when ft came to universal suffrage, was some 5,000,000 votes stronger than Paris. By something like that mejo rity France declared that she would have no Re- public, but this BONAPARTE. If France could be polled to-morrow, she would say nearly the same. What, then, is to come of it if this man falls? A Re public ? Yes, if Paris can be despot over Prance ; not otherwise. The BOURBONS Yes, if you can cancel history, and revoke the judgment of two re volutions. The ORLEANISTS? Improbable in the extreme. There is little chance that the descendants of the King whose sordid corruption of 18 years precipitated the Revolution of Disgust can be al lowed to occupy the throne their ancestor desecrated, by the permission of the people he deceived. The Paris populace have not yet forgotten the flight of Mr. Stara in his street cab ; France has not for gotten the profound immorality and the tortuous in trigues of that vulgar autocracy which humbled the pride, and tarnished the honour, till it perished i n th e contempt of a gallant nation. Republic, Borasoss, Oateasters—all alike iniposeible—Vhat Le there ex cept universal anarchy that could have been inaugu rated by the success of last Thursday's attempt P To the great satisfaction of every well-wisher to the prosperity of France and the peace of Europe the mad enterprise has failed, and its failure has natu rally and deservedly brought a fresh accession of po pularity and power to its intended victim. With that admirable self-possession and high personal courage which in moments of extreme danger he has never failed to show,th• EMPEROR entered the Opera-house, accompanied by the EMPRESS, as though nothing had occurred --stayed out the performance, and returned to the Tuileries at midnight, through streets bright with spontaneous illuminations, and amid the unbought plaudits of a vast concourse of that excitable sad ardent people, with whom he probably was never so genuine an object of sincere and enthusiastic admiration as at that moment. Can a word more be wanting to show the folly as well as wickedness of tkis cowardly and villanees attempt ? Its success would have involved anarchy; Its failure has simply resulted in an immediate increase ih..____ THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1858. .1 popularity to the ruler against whose existence it was directed. That the authors of this miserable crime will speedily be detected, it they have not indeed already been scc.red, admits not of a doubt.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. NEW SPANISH MIIGSVIR. t • . We learn item Madrid that a new ministry his been formed, composed of the following memben: President of the Council Minister of War Finance Justice Interior Marine ter (eeriettaly) ; M. Oodin, police .agent; M. hiichot ; two unknown individuals (taken to the Lariboissiate Hospital) ; M. Penaud (Dubois Hos pital); M. Round, police officer, a urgent-de ville (seventeen wounds, or which six are serious); two ladies, Roe Lepelletier (wounded in their apart ments) ; W. Martzig, concierge (a projectile in the calf of the leg, and another in the cheek); the pro prietor of the Rue de Provence Baths, • sub brigadier of sergents-de-ville (three wounds). The wounded is greater than wu at first thought The Pays mentions a report that there are fifty or sixty in all. It seems that thirty-five were distinctly counted immediately after the explosions. The lancers of the guard who escorted their Majesties had nine men wounded—one of them, a non-com- miesoned officer, received two balls in the head, and it is said that he is since dead. Three of their horses were killed and ten wounded. The Hardee de Parisi Choral, who were on duty in the environs of the theatre, had eleven men and one home wounded. This morning, at eight o'clock, the Em peror, accompanied by an aide-de-camp, went to visit the wounded at the Lariboiasiere Hospital. Throughout the day numbers have crowded to the Tuileries to congratulate his Majesty on his holy miraculous escape. Some idea of the number of calls may be formed from the fact that many of those who attended had to wait an hour before they could inscribe their names. With regard to the authors of the crime, they are most of them Italians, and it is not doubtful that like Pianori, they are in connexion with European conspirators. It is believed that most of the actors are in custody. The number of arrests is, I believe, seven. The persons arrested are all in Maus prison. They are in a much better position in life than the Pianoris and Ilbaldis were. Some of them are well known persons of good family. They were all well dressed, and had plenty of money about them. This is what I have heard about the arrests. A few minutes before the Emperor arrived in the Rue Lepelletier, M. Hebert, a peace officer on duty, observed an individual in the crowd whose looks he did not like. On a closer examination he recognised him u one Pierri, an Italian, who had been expelled from France in 1862. He affected to speak in an English accent, but M. Hebert felt sure of his man, and took upon himself to arrest him at once. It turned oat that he was one of the leaders of the plot. He had arrived from Brussels two days before with a passport, in the name of Andreas, vised by the Belgian consul in London. A grenade, like one of those used five minutes after ' =de. a eix-barrtlea revoN , er, awl a imignard, were found upon him. M. Hebert, after handing him over to safe custody, went to the theatre to open the door of his Majesty's carriage, and was there wounded as above stated. Very shortly after the commission of the mime another Italian, named Count Orsini, a well-known person, I believe, was arrested in his lodgings in the Rue Monthabor. He confessed that he had been in the Rue Lepelle tier, and had thrown one of the shells. Whether he threw it from the street, or from the window of a furnished lodging-house opposite, which seems more probable, is not quite dear. He was himself wounded by the explosion. A sum of 3001. to 4001. in English gold and Bank notes was found in his lodgings. Orsini was found out in consequence of an accomplice (name unknown) losing his head when he heard the explosion, and who, by the state of excitement in which he was, attracted the atten tion of the police. On being arrested, he gave Or sini's address, but called him by an English name. Some say, however, that his passport bore the Por tuguese name of Jost Da Silas. M. Treillard is the judge of " instruotion".charged to investigate the affair. While the first examination was going on this morning, the Prefect of Police received from the Commissary of Polioe of Lille a telegram giving the description of an individual whom he was or dered to arrest, and which description answered to that of one of the foreigners now in custody. Since writing the above, I learn that very many more arrests have been made, and that several Frenchmen as well as Italians are in custody. It is a curious coincidence that part of the per formance at the Opera last night was the assassina tion scene at the masked ball, in Gesstatu4 General Rognet's wonnd is not serious. The Bourse was opened by three cheers for the Emperor and Empress. Very little business was done, although the Bank of France accounts were considered to afford evidence of a revival of com mercial business. The Rente fell 20c. for cash and 35c. for account, closing at 69fr. 40c. and 69fr. 85c. Mobilier fell 10fr. The railways were from 6fr. to 10fr. lower.

A most determined and skilfully-planned attempt upon the Emperor's life was made this evening, as his Majesty, accompanied by the Empress, was going to the grand opera in the Rue Lepelletier. It was known in the day-time that their Majesties were going to M. Massol's farewell benefit, on which occasion Madame Ristori was to play in two acts of Marie Stuart. The wail preparations were made for their reoeption ; the front of the theatre was brilliantly illuminated, and there were illumina tions at Duaautoy's, the tailor's, at the corner of the Rae Lepelletier, and in the windows of several other shops on the Boulevard. At about 8 o'clock their Majesties and suite, occupying several court carriages, went to the theatre in considerable state, escorted by Lancers and Gerdes de Parisi Chirral. The gay cortege passed along the Boulevard des Deans, which, the weather being mild, was crowded with after-dinner promenaders and people taking their coffee outside the cafes. The line of tags borne by the Lancers, and preceded by the court carriages bearing many ladies of the court in fall evening dress, was scarcely seen to wheel round the corner of the Boulevard towards the Opera-home, before a tremendous explosion was heard--an explosion so load as to throw the whole quarter into a state of alarm. It was heard die- uncuy throngliout the wawa 11110 of the toulevard des Italians, and startled the inhabitants of the Rues Lepelletier, Laffitte, Grange &tellers, Taitbout, Chauchat, and even the Ras de Provence. Just as the imperial carriage drew up to the peristyle of the Opera a large hand grenade, thrown, it is supposed, I from one of the houses opposite, fell upon the pave ment within a few inches of the vehicle, burst with terrible forte, and flung deadly projectiles in all directions. Two or three seconds afterwards another shell of the same kind strack the roof of the imperial. carriage before the Em peror and Empress had had time to alight. A third quickly followed, launched with deadly aim, and bursting as effectively a. the former two. This closed the murderous campaign. Their Majesties escaped—and their escape is almost miraculous— with the slightest possible scratch from splinters of broken glass ; they have each a little mark on the nose. But the Emperor's hat wee knocked to places by the projectiles, so that he was literally within an inch of his death. General Roguet, one of his Majesty's aides-de-camp, who was in attendance, re ceived a wound on the neck. One of the horses of the imperial carriage was killed on the spot, end the carriage itself was very much battered. A great many persons—the accounts vary from 16 to 30—were wounded, and many of them seriously. There has cer tainly been some loss of life, but I have no accurate information as to the extent. An eyewitness told me that he saw a priest administering extreme unction to one poor man who evidently bad not many minutes to live. There is good evidence that at least two or three others are dead. It was reported in the course of the evening that the coach man who drove the imperial carriage was killed, but I have heard this contradicted. A Lazar had his lance cat in two, and one of the Gerdes de Paris was seriously wounded in the thigh. The consternation which this dreadful event must have occasioned among the Court party and the com pany on the steps of the Opera-house may be con ceived. Besides the noise of the explosion, there was the rattle of the broken glass which fell like hail both inside and outside the house. At least two hundred panes of the glass doors must have been broken. Some of the ladies stepping out of their carriages found their white satin shoes steeped in pools of blood. The Emperor and Empress, who, I am assured, both showed admirable presence of mind throughout, resolved at onoe not to cause additional alum by countermanding the performance. They proceeded to their box, and in a few minutes the curtain rose as if nothing had happened. The news spread like wildfire through the town, and in the course of the evening many high officers of state called at the theatre, and had audience of the Emperor in the ante-room of the imperial box. PARIS, FRIDAY EVIURNO. The hurried aocount of the attack on the Emperor which I wrote last night from such materials u I could collect from my own personal observation and enquiries, is confirmed in all essential particulars by the Moniteur and the evening papers. I subjoin some further details : After the explosion of the first shell their Majesties attempted to get out of the carriage al uuur, bat Fro-matt.' by tlao loom otiok ipg, and the officers in attendance had consi derable difficulty in getting it open. The manager of the Opera, who, as usual, was in attendance, offered his arm to the Empress to support her, but she graciously declined the proffered assistance, saying, "Let us show them that we have more courage than they have." The Emperor mixed with the crowd in front of the theatre, and gave orders with great coolness. He afterwards showed himself at the balcony In front of the house. lam told by a person who Deems to feel sure of the fact, that the third grenade or shell did not explode till after their Majesties had left the 1 1 carriage, and that it was this one which did great damage to the vehicle. My informant adds that, had they been in the carriage when the third shell exploded, they would probably have been killed. I do not, however, find any confirmation of this statement in the journals, Among the wounded are General Count Roguet, M. Lanet, Commissary of Police of the section of the Opera (three wounds, one on each thigh, and one on the faoe, the projectiles not yet extracted), M. Hebert, peace officer (wounds in the leg and head); M. Hebert, inspector of the chateau of the Tuileries; Mdlle.

By the arrival of the West African mail, k g week information has been received from the Niger Expedition, with accounts of the loss of the steamer Day E . 3pring on a ledge of rocks in the river Bowe n , Providentially, no lives were lost; and the pert, have encamped near Jeba, 12 miles above RaTrbeg. awaiting the arrival of the Sunbeam from Fernando Po. The Rev. Semi. Crowther, a native African, from whom this information is derived, gives a ladi. crone description of the manner in which the native chiefs in the vicinity of the disaster came to the rescue. He writes, Oct. 30, 1867:—" It will amuse you to hear that the Fnlari kings, Sumo 2W and Dasaba, Pest messenger s to all the mutes Of the ferry to call all the villagers up and down the river to cut sticks and push the ship Sam the rock into deep water u soon as possible, Wednesday morning these ferry -masters were her e to inspect the position of the ship, and to devise by what 1114:41111 she could be set afloat; but, poor fellows, they were overpowered by the huge use of the wreck and the bubble of the current e ddi es under her. However, we took the good intention of the kings for the deed, and sent them home with a pro. mime that when we needed their assistance we would let them know." The native engineers of Western Africa do net appear to have advanced much further in mechani• al serene than Mr. Brunel. One advantage has resulted from the disaster. A gentleman of the en. pedition, Mr. May, has come down across the coun try from the encampment to Albeokuta and Lagos, in order to forward the mail, and to endeavour to hasten up the Sunbeam, thus opening an overland communication between the Niger and the west coat. Mr. Crowther thus describes the encampment:— " After the excitement and the exertions of erect. ing our camp, many of our number suffered a little from fever, agues, and headaches; there was one ease of diarrheas before the ship struck, which has since been checked, and all hands are now nearly perfectly well again, and begin to feel themselves at home in our new village of 60 persons, consisting of 12 Europeans and 88 black men. We have opened • wovision market, which is attended daily by the Roan, to which stack, yarns, cow-butter, beer made of Guinea oorn, &a, are brought for sale. Our camp consists of two large tents made of mats and canvas, my own of mats in which morning and evening prayers are kept daily, the Bremen shed, and another shed for the servants, another for pantry and store, and a stall for the sheep and goats. This will give you a tolerable idea of our state, of which we cannot much complain." The rev. gentleman concludes his letter with the following observation :—" Africa is known as a country inimical to European constitu- tions. It will be a great thing for us to know that the Niger, or the countries about the river, are not worse than other places in this respect" (health). PROMOTION or THE PEr'Z' LUOINOw.

The Queen has been graciormly pleased to com mand that Colonel John Eardley Wilmot Inglis, of the 32nd Regiment, be promoted to the rank of major-general, for his enduring fortitude and per severing gallantry in the defence of the Residency of Lucknow, for 87 days, against an overwhelming forte of the enemy. By order of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief. G. A. Waruzmul., Adjutant-General. MADRAS FUSILIERS. TO TIM EDITOR OP TIP IMPRESS. SIR,—In your beautiful no ti ce of this regiment, the name of " Arnold " several times mars. The young officer alluded to, Lieutenant Henry Nelson .Arnold, son of the Rev. Charles Arnold, rector of Tinwell, Rutland, whose death has been recently noticed in the papers, deserves more than a passing comment. He was the first to arrive at Allababad in command of his company, and turn the scale in favour of order, having arrived on the opposite aide of the river by native conveyances, and whilst pre paring to swim or wade moos with his men, wu fortunately taken over by a small steamer just in time. He was then selected by his colonel, the gallant Neill, to accompany Captain Spurgin in the steamer up the river with a detachment of the Fasilias and Artillery. This expedition is noticed in your columns yesterday, but never before hu been mentioned; it shows, however, the activity of Neill, as the steamer took stores and provisions for the benison at Cawnpore, and nearly reached that place—a most wonderful achievement at that time of year—when the river was low. When close to Cawnpore it became known that the place had surrendered, and the steamer had orders to return and accompany and protect the ad. vanoing forces by keeping close to the banks of the river. Afterwards young Arnold was again selected by Neill to take 100 picked sharpshooters of the regiment up the river and clear the banks, which was performed mournfully, the party landing °cot. isionally, and with their Enfield rifles actually silencing anall fleld-pieces brought against them. Young Arnold afterwards fought through the seve ral engagements under Havelock, in which his regi. ment was engaged, and although unwounded had his clothes riddled with shots, and saw his men fall around him on every side. His end yon have de scribed, being the first intimation his friends have had respecting it, beyond the mere official notice of his being "severely wounded," and "since dead." Thanking you, with many others, for your notice of the regiment-1 am, &c., A RELATIVE. Jan. 15. MR.
