A s LONDON, TUESDAY, 111AY 3, 1870. IHERE appears no good reason for doubting that a serious conspiracy to assassinate the French Emperor has just been unearthed at Paris. The first disclosure was, indeed, received with manifest disbelief, for the French mind was predisposed to incredulity. Last February a grand plot was discovered and announced to the world with great solemnity. Many persons were cast into prison; lengthy examinations commenced; the entire disclosure would soon, we were assured, appear in honest print ; but from that day to this no tidings of the February plot have come to hand. Whatever, however, may be the merits of the earlier and darker scheme, the details of this new conspiracy are so circumstantial as to be fairly beyond imputation. That some plan has been elaborated either to blow up the Tuileries with that hideous stuff—picrate of potassium, or to assassinate the Emperor, seems certain. One of the leaders is Gustave Flourens, the man who attempted to raise a revolution on the night of Rochefort's arrest, and who has since honoured London by taking up his residence in the immediate vicinity of the Hay market. Acting with him are various members of e association termed L'lnternationale, who have apparently furnished the money, collected the infernal materials, and drawn up the instructions. Their tool is, or rather was, a young man named Baurie, a science student, whose duty it was to have been to attempt the act of assassination, or to explode the mine. To complete the dramatis personae, there is, as usual, a mistress who betrays the scheme and the police are for the present masters of the situation. The time just when angry passions arising out of the doubtful plebiscite question are most rife—is favourable, not to the condo nation or approval of such a nefarious design by the French people, but to the development of that state of excitement in which unscrupulous poli ticians the more readily discover fanatical accom plices. It is not the first, nor perhaps will it br, the last, design upon the life of the Emperor. And assuredly the proceedings of the extreme Socialist section of Paris are so outrageously extravagant as to fully warrant the darkest suspicions as to their hidden projects. A deed of blood would be a fitting conclusion to language comparable only to the abominations which many years ago came from the press of Alaxat. It is not difficult to foresee the effect of this plot. How many votes it will gain the Emperor at the coming poll of the people on the new constitution is an interesting speculation into which we shall not enter. But that it will confirm many waverers and win many recruits is a safe presumption. Hitherto the mind of France has been troubled with constitutional questions. Many moderate men were justly in clined to withhold their support from the Emperor through his persistence in retaining as part of the, new Constitution the proviso that an appeal to the people was a fixed right of the Sovereign. Two Ministers resigned because they deemed this right incompatible with the principles of parliamentary government. 'Whether the electors shniad vote "Yes" or "No," or abstain altogether, was a perplexing Question. Much of this difficulty, however, is now romovea. the nea rnantom gas risen again. r 3 electors will now have the Socialist Republic, ruled by assassins, and not the prerogatives of the Emperor, in their primary consideration. Before they give heed to the question whether this or that part of the Constitution is reconcilable with strict parliamentary government, they will vote to preserve their goods from the universal division with which they are threatened. The Adminis tration will do its best to encourage this feeling of interested loyalty. The event, indeed, is such a good thing for M. 011ivier that it will be a task of the utmost difficulty to persuade the Parisians that the plot is genuine. The red ghost has done duty often enough on occasions when the spectre had to be conjured up ; now it is ready to hand. The Imperial printers and writers will be got to work. In the course of the week we may ex pect a fine collection of the neatest Irreconcilable speeches, winding up with this plot, to make its appearance and be scattered far and wide through France. Beyond doubt the message will do its work well; but if the Republicans are defeated they cannot complain. They have fought a disgraceful battle, and their own manoeuvres have turned to their confusion. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) WHATEVER difference of opinion there may De as to the merit of Papal pretensions, no one will doubt that the schemes for giving' effect to those pre tensions are in the most competent hands. The Pope possesses unbounded courage, unflinching persever ance, and—what is not less important—entire belief in the doctrines he would have accepted by the Catholic Church. The opposition of principalities and powers in no way influences him. The one loss which it is well known he would regard with the utmost dismay—the loss of the French bayonets at Rome—hefearlessly faces when he thinks it his duty to do so. During the four months which have elapsed since the Council was first convened very little progress has been made. The time has been spent in speechifying, intriguing, and, there is no denying, to a great extent in wrangling. But now that the opposition has become most formid able, when such a man as Cardinal Schwartzenberg writes an anti-infallibilist manifesto, which is circulated by order of the Emperor Francis Joseph, when Count Daru, late French Foreign Minister, sends his second protest to Rome, Piux IX. prosecutes his designs most actively. The Council has just held its third public sitting. It got through more business than on any previous occasion. The Schema de Fide was passed with acclamation, after some alterations had been made in it to set the minds of the Opposition at rest. This is, undoubtedly, a great triumph. It is true that the muster of bishops did not represent the full strength. It is true that the Schema de Fide is less important than others—the Little Catechism, and the Schema de .Ecclesia, which is the most important of all. The Schema de Fide, in short, is not at all like the last-named hot and strong compo sition ; but a comparatively mild series of curses upon those who doubt the existence of God, divine revelation, and human reason being depen dent on faith. It embodies none of the great Papal pretensions. Nevertheless, all deduc tions being made, its acceptance is a. clear step in advance, the first that has yet been taken. Moreover, it is to be followed by other movements ; and if the latest telegrams be correct, Infallibility itself is to come on imme diately. There can be no doubt that the Vatican is displaying more activity now than at any time since last December. One good reason may be given : the support of the French clergy is more than ever need- ful to the Emperor, and the Pope may well exact his quid pro quo. THE TRAMWAYS BILL. The Tramways Committee have reported their resom tions to the House, and also the bill with various amend ments. These resolutions ate to the effect that the cterfernment Bill is to extend to Scotland ; that provi sional orders for the construction of tramways are to be granted by the Board of Trade and confirmed by Parlia ment ; that the consent of two-thirds of the municipal cor poration of other local authorities is to be required ; that the Board of Trade may institute a local inquiry; that the Board of Trade may proceed to grant a provisional order, notwithstanding the objection of the local authority, • that the maximum tolls are to be fixed in the p rov i s i ona l order. There are various other resolutions as to the locus standi of certain iaarties. and as to the maximum tolls. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, pre sident of'the Society of Arts, and the Princess of Wales, have graciously signified their intention of honouring with their presence the society's conversazicme to-morrow, at the South Kensington Museum. Arthur White, who attempted to assassinate Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., on Friday last, was arrested last night in Paris, at the Maison Dore°. He was armed with a revolver when arrested. The Morning Post says a firm in Paternoster-row offered Mr. Disraeli £16,000 for the copyright of his novel "Lothair ;" but the work is published solely on account of the author. Earl Fortescue will preside, and several members of Parliament will be present, at a conference on interna tional decimal coinage, to be held in the rooms of the Society of Arts, on Friday, evening. Thirty guineas premium are being paid to effect insurance on the ship Catherine Rankin, which left Java for Amsterdam on the 16th of November last, and by the last advices had not arrived out. All danger of a Fenian raid in Canada is over, as the militia, who were specially called out to guard the fron tiers, have been recalled. The case of the Bank of Bombay against the Bank of Hindustan has been decided against the defendants, with costs. The health of the Archbishop of Canterbury is said to be thoroughly re-established. He will shortly, says one contemporary, resume his public duties. The Treasury, through Mr. Stansfeld, has declined to forego its claim upon the Norwich Town Council for the repayment of the cost of the Norwich Election Com- MISSIGru the new south-Western branch line into Alder shot Camp was opened this morning by Messrs. Williams and Verrinder on behalf of the company. A telegram received this morning states that the Conservatives are still without a candidate for East Suffolk. Colonel Akroyd, ii.P., continues to improve, and there is now no doubt of his recovery from his recent accident. • John Whyte, the clerk in the National Bank of ?cotland, at Glasgow, who recently stole £B,OOO in bank-notes, has been sentenced to five years' penal servi tude. From the 2nd July next a s i ng l e prepa i d l etter from North Germany to the United States will cost three silbergroschen viol Bremen or Hamburg, and four silber groschen itici England. A pastoral letter has been issued by the Right Rev. Dr. Grant, Bishop of Southwark, in which, after requesting the prayers of his flock for those working to secure Catholic education for Catholic children, and instruction and means of religious exercise for Catholic prisoners, he urges them to pray for " those whose duty it will be to defend our conventual institutions, and to satisfy our opponents how faithfully and how freely their inmates have forsaken friends and home, rank and fortune, for the service of God, and the love of their neighbours." DEATH OF FULLER FILCH.—We regret to announce the decease of this well-known and highly-respected veteran cricketer, who throughout his long and successful career enjoyed and most deservedly so the reputation of being one of the most perfect exponents of the batting art, accom plished fieldsmen, and best judges of cricket that ever lived. Fuller Pilch was born in Norfolk, on the 17th March, 1803, and died at Canterbury (Kent being his foster county) on Sunday, the Ist of May, having just completed his 67th year. THE CANADIAN DOMINION.--The Canadians are still on the look-out, but no Fenian as yet has crossed the border. Kiel's delegates have not been received by the Canadian Government. Among the demands made by Kiel is a large tract of land for the French population, and that the residents, to th e num b er o f a th ousa nd, shall be armed and equipped at the expense of the Canadian Government to maintain order. A Government paper in Montreal states that th e t rans fer o f the North-West territory to Canada is complete, and that Great Britain ensures ueaceful possession.

FRANC PARIS, May 3. The Official Journal of this morning publishes a despatch from the Marquis de Bannerville at Rome, dated the 28th ult., in which the French Ambassador informs the Minister of Foreign Affairs that the greater number of French bishops still at Rome have expressed their regrets at being thereby pre vented from attending to those duties which the ap peal of the Emperor to the nation imposes upon all Frenchmen. The despatch proceeds : "In their patriotic anxiety for the greatness and prosperity of our country, they would have felt happy to assist Vie Government of the Emperor among the people in their dioceses, by their authority and by their co operation, and also by giving an example of de votion. " Tbey desire at least to give expression to the sentiments by which on this solemn occasion they are animated, and they have requested me-to be the in terpreter of those feelings and wishes to his Majesty the Emperor and to the Government. " I have also, in conformity with the request of many French bishops, to ask you whether their votes, and those of such ecclebiastics who are their attend ants at Rome, would be received at the French Em bassy in that city." Last night a meeting was held at the Theatre Folies Bergeres, at which 4,000 persons were pre.- sent. The thanks of the meeting were unani mously voted to M. Cernuschi for having forwarded another sum of 100,000 francs to the Democratic Committee to be applied to operations against the Plebiscite. _ Perfect order prevailed during the proceedings. Madame Rou=sel was arrested yesterday even ing. Ske declared she knew nothing of the conspiracy against the Emperor's life. A person resembling Roussel was arrested yesterday at Arras. Levellle, an accomplice of Roussel, was also captured. The police have seized a manifesto signed " Lubez," who is the president of the Inter national Association, announcing a Democratic ban quet, which would be held in London to-day, in honour of Tibaldi and Flou'rens. The Gaulois publishes a report that M. 011ivier has addres)ed a circular to the public prosecutors throughout the country, announcing a project of the Irreconcileables to proclaim a Republic in the towns where a majority of negative votes should be given at the Plebiscite, and requesting them to adopt the necessary precautions against any such attempts.

The Opinione of to-day says that the report of the Financial Committee of fourteen announces their acceptance of the proposition of the Ministry, with certain modifications, of which the principal are:— They refuse to increase by 1-10th the Octroi dues in favour of the Government, and reject the proposed addition to the existing taxes of 5 per cent. The Minister had reckoned upon being able to cover the deficit of 110 millions of lire by economies to the amount of 25 millions, by an in _ crease of 10 millions in the produce of the grist tax, and of 75 millions, the result of the general revision of the taxes. By the modifications of the Ministerial proposals adopted by the Commission the Government will obtain 83 millions of lire in the following manner, namely :- 23 millions by the economies to be effected in the expenditure, and 60 millions by an increase of revenue. In order to cover the remaining 27 millions of the deficit the Commission calculates on the 12i millions of lire payable by France in 1871 towards the cost of the Mont Cenis tunnel, and on 14- millions result ing from other smaller sources of revenue. The balance of 13 millions of lire would be obtained by increasing by 1-10th the income tax, which would .herefore be raised from 12 per cent. to 13.20 per cent. With reference to the immediate requirements of ,e Treasury the Committee approved the Conven- tion concluded with the National Bank with some modifications, and accords to the Ministry the autho risation to sell Dente to the amount of 80 millions. FLORENCE, May 2. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Count Visconti-Venasta, in reply to an interpella tion, confirtne the news of the murder of the Italian Consul at Buenos Ayres, and stated that offic'al inquiries had proved that the imputations, which had been brought against the Consul were ca'umnies. The Minister consented to lay before the House papers referring to the case, and also to the Greek tragedy at Marathon. Signor Lanza, in answer to a question, stated that the brigandage in Calabria was no longer of any importance. The few bands which still existed in Sicily numbered only 45 individuals. Count Arrivabene called the attention of the House to the allegation made by Mr. Moens, the English tourist, who fell into the handsof Neapolitan brigands in the neigfibourhood of the town of Saterno in 1864. He protested with indignation against Mr. Moen's allegation that the Italian Government had connived at the outrage in question. Signor Lawza replied that Mr. Moen had been most ungrateful in making such assertions, and stated that he had been urgently requested at the time by the British Minister, he .(Signor Lanza) being at that time Minister of the Interior, to permit the friends of the two captives, Mr. Moens and Mr. Murray, to treat with the brigands as to their ransom. The Government, he added, treated the matter rather from a humane point of view than from that of lawful authority. Signor Chianes laid before the House the report of the Committee on the financial measures of the Government. The House decided to discuss these measures alter the estimates had been discussed ; at all events between the 15th and the 20th of the prcsent month. Signor Billia withdrew the bills which he lately laid before the House. The latter adopted the bill for abolishing th e authorisation of the issue of loans with premiums' £46,546 8 11 AS TO "THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS ACT, 1853," RATE. RECEIPT. Balance on Ist January, 1870..

It appears that the conspirators had hired a room in a house which the Emperor passed every day. The polio° have not yet found all the bombs which were prepared by the men arrested on charge of conspiracy. One of thes e in their possession has been tried, and the result shoved it was of a most destructive c ha rac t er . The Offiic i al to ld the states that the maker of th e b om b- cas es has t` ld the authorities he was ordered to make them by a pere n „ giving the name of Renard, who inf orme d him they wt . ' intended for parts of a newly-invented velocipede. Twely two - bombs were delivered out of 150 that were orderea• The Emperor has received many congratulat or i visits on the frustration of the conspiracy agtl ie his life. The Dip thelomatic Body headed bY he Papal Nuncio, went to the Vuileries, and Marshals, General Officers, and their staffs, also Pa l their respects. Some o f th e F renc h j ourna l s state tend the authoritie s b e li eve i n th e ex i s t ence o f t wo pl o ts, 3 do not think th ere i s any connect i on between the attack o n th e E mperor ' s lif e an d t h e di s coveu of the bombs. The Patrie goes so far as to suggest that a third plot is, in existence, or at any rate thet ramifications el the mischief may be . discovered in the provinoe i s ; in illustration of which s tat emen t it re f ers to t'id arrests made at Marseilles. R ousse l, w h o order e d the bombs and had taken to fli g ht, has been tak en prisoner. M. Lepay, iron -founder, of the Rue St. Afa u , r 4 saw the illustrations of the bombs in ma n' of the papers, and recognised them as those whi° ll . l l had made. The Liberte thinks that the affair is increas ing in importance, and that w ith f ur th er investigation more serious revelations will be mad e . It i s b e li e v e d that on the occasion of the trial of the .R4vell for the offenoe,: e giving false news, a public statement will be made of,l' oo various letters and other documents 'e L'"f seized, and which furnish the proofs of _ en e plot. As many as twenty-five of the leaders of In International Association are at Ma ras , and many oth er , are suspected of complication in the affair., The pal,°,'"• which have been taken have no doubt as to the lat e ' tions of an armed rising. The Gaulois states that several papers of a most cool,: promising character were fo un d i n th e a p ar t men t s of N 0 Protol, and that they she w b e y on d a d ou bt h e w a i ., deeply involved i n th e a ff a i r . A mong these paPief— was found a curio us l e tt er f rom Me gy, whom ,i;; Protol defended at hi s t r i a l, w hi c h conta i ned these w°l.`--' " Brutus has always appeared a true hero to me b e cause he killed Ccesar." When M. Protol was examined before the Juge d'lnstru c ti on , h e d ec li ne d to answer any terrogataries he was taken to Marges and placed lu solitary confinem en t. Th e exact o ff enc e which the .Reveil stands charged is that it t g : serted the conspiracy to be nothing but an of vention of the police. It is urged in defence that journal that this is an opinion and not the annomr4 ment of news, but th e examination will take place, editor and manager having received notice to appear be re fo b . the Sixth Chamber. The Marseillaise has P u lished an article which winds up with this e xtreln i e language, " It i s f or th e French veople to choose -t in, own time for action, and n o t t o fall into the snares wn% the enemy will not fail to spread for them. But let eta one take into his heart the fi rm reso l ve t o carr y o ut thi device, ' Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death.'" pe The following description of the bombs which Lo di , been seized is curious : Each one is divided perPel l a cularly into two halves, which . when united form figure somewhat resembling a thick cake, with a h ole ~ in the centre, and bound togethe r by a strong scre:f The exterior diameter is 51 inches, and the thickne ss r the metal is about three-eighths of an i nc h. The 11 11 1 and lower cavities are ribb e d i ns id e an d pierced eighteen holes, to which can be adapted nipples and cap 4 or nails, with the heads i ns id e . I n th ose seized t°. latter plan has been adopted, and some o f t he Perf er i r tions are left unoccupied to permit the entrance of rilie . which vastly increases the force of the e x plosion. . 1 to interior of these terrible implements was destined ~,r receive four glass tubes, a qua r t er o f an i nc h i n diaMed and four inches in length, t o b e fill e d w ith picrat,.e. o 'h potash or fulminating powder. At the top i s a r ing to wir° 19 is attached a handle of a triangular shape, which not or it 4 facilitates the carriage of this murd erous i ns t ru ment, a furnishes a sort of sling to favour its p ro j ec ti on . T° o o n one conversant with mechanics or firearms this invents f of 1870 will appear much more deadly than those C l , o Orsini. For the mere shock of a fall would be suffiel e . o to break the glass a n d p ro d uce t h e exp l os i on, bilt,l e order to guard against the possibility of a failure series of nails above mentioned have been introdueelie Everything tends to the belief that the intention of conspirators was to launch these missiles from an uP,P, s ., window. The amount of ex pl os i ve ma t er i a l w hich tar . are each capable of containing is sufficient to spread t .,5 struction in a circle of at least thirty y ar d s around, 3 *": 6 1 the.force with which the fragments would be discharg_% is sufficient to kill instantaneously, if the person struck on the head, chest, or stomach, and to break a lanzd if hit elsewhere.
