THE ATTEUFTED ASSASSINATION OF THE
DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

The following additional information respecting
the attempted assassination of the Duke of Edin-
burgh was forwarded to us yesterday from the
Colonial-Aloe :

" Further telegrams, of the same date as those
already made public, from the Earl of Belmore to
the Secretary of State for the Colonies, intimate
that the assassination of hie Royal Highness the
Duke of Edinburgh was attempted by O'Farrell in
consequence of messages sent from conspirators in
this country, which ordered the Prince's death. It is
understood that O'Farrell was selected by lot to
perpetrate the crime, and that the attempt would
have been made when the Prince landed in state,
but that an opportunity of doing so without risk of
' injury to others did not occur. The New South
Wales government offered 1,0001. reward for the
apprehension of each accomplice, and one arrest,
considered to be important, has heed made in
Vieturta." -

PRINult ALFRED'S WOCND.—If the telegraphic
information respecting the character et the Injury received
his Royal Highness-a the Duke of Mithelowsk rasa be de-
pended on, the nation bu to be thankful that the life
of the Prawn hu been saved by one of the most extra-
ordinary escapes which has ever been recorded in the
history of gunshot wounds. If the ball which, we are
told, entered the back half an inch from the spine, and in
a downward direction, had taken the course which in nine
hundred and ninety-nine uses out of every thousand it
would have taken, it could not have failed to pierce
the heart and great vessels, the lung, diaphragm and
intestines, or liver, such an injury to any of these viscera
being almost certainly fetal. That it should have tea-
eased a distance of twelve and a half inches on the out-
side of the ninth rib, and lodged under the skin of the
abdomen, without even touching the peritoneum, is all but
incredible and the fact, if true, will add mother to the
few extraordinary cams in which balls have glanced from
their natural direction and taken a totally unexpected
course. Cues are on record in which a ball entering the
hip came oat at the heel, where it entered the temple and
passing over the bones of the head lodged at the opposite
side. Mr. Lawson narrates a case in which a grain of shot
striking the eye, passed from aide to aide under the con-
junctiva ; and a ease was communicated to the Surgical
Society of Ireland about a year ego, in which a bullet wu
removed from the heart of a man who received it in the
battle of Salamanca thirty-three years previostaly.—Medi.
