PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE
EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

The Moniteur of yesterday contains the follow-

Lng :

" For more than a month the police has had
proof that a plot had been formed in London to

make an attempt on the life of the Emperor.
Three Italians, charged with the execution of this

horrible project, were at Paris, and arrested. The
arms also which were to have been used for the

perpetration of the crime have been seized ; they

consist of poniards, revolvers, &C. Brought to
justice, the prisoners had already confessed their

crime; and revealed the names of their (mom-

plices. The Government notwithstanding sus•

pended the proceedings against them, in order
that the eclat of the process might not be regarded
as a means of influencing the result of the elec-
tions which were about to take place, The pro-

ceedings are now resumed, and an ordinance of
the Judge of Instruction has sent before the

Chamber of Accusation all the prisoners arrested,

with their accomplices. Their names are Tibaldi,
Bartolotti, Grilli (otherwise Saro), Mazzini, Ledry,
Rollin, Mazarentil and Campanella."

IPSWICH ELECTION.
The Members of the Ipswich Election Committee were called to the
table and sworn.

THE REDPATH FRAUDS-
The Lords Amendment,. to the Great Northern Railway Capital
Bill were taken into consideration.
The effect of the amendments inserted was, that the half-rar divi.
dead of the preference shareholders, in common with the half-pear
dividend of the whole body of sha-e'lolders, should be applied to
meet the losses occasioned by the frauds of Redpath.
E room otjected to the alteration, on the ground that it would
inflict great injustice upon preference shareholders, and would shake
the confidence of the public in the stability of preference shares.
Arr. ASPINAIL Truorzn also opposed a proposition that would
enable the shareholders of a railway to repudiate their honou-able
engagements.

NEWDEGATE supported the Lords amendment, and contended
that Redpath, whose misconduct rendered the bill necessary, was as
111401 a servant of the preference as the ordinary shareholders.
Mr. H. ButztE observed that the amendment in question carried
Oat the recommendation of the committee, to which the consideration
of the matter was delegated.
Mr. HEADLAM, Mr. J. EWAII,T, Mr. BROWN, and Mr. BENSON
having
offared some remarks,

lir. Lows expressed an opinion that the Lords committee had gone
beYond its jtt, Ldiztion in considering the rights of preference share-
holderr, and stated his intention of opposing the amendment.
Mr. FiTzROT argued that the preference shareholders considered
themselves liable by the bill to contribute to meet the losses of the
°lllPany, and that therefore no injustice would. be done to them by
assenting to the amendment of the Lords.

The amendment was ultimately negatived without a division.
PUBLIC CHARITIES BILL.

HAQDCASTLE moved the second reading of the Public Charities
Bill, the object of which was to diminish expense that at present
"cessarily arose. It was proposed that there should be a registrar_
general of pubic charities, with an ()Mee in London, and that the
ILl:imagers of existing trusts should have the optien of the taking up
their deeds to the registrar, and paying a fee not exceeding £3 to
aeehre the succession of trustees.

lir. Evaris seconded the motion.
SlrJ. TROLLOPE and Mr. MASSEY opposed, on the groand that the
'Proposed machinery would not be any saving of expense.
The bill was rejected without a divhion.

The Married Women's Bill was ordered to be referred to a select

IRISH TENANT sionrs.

On the order for the second reading of the Tenant Right (Ireland
114

Mr• MAGUIRE having presented a great number of petiti ins
fr.ra Cork, Mayo, Londonderry, Westmeath, and blip countie
in favour of the bill, proceeded to move the discharge of the order
believed that the question wzs one that could only be settled by
qovenment, an 4 he urged the importance of the subj.:et upon them.
The present state of things in Ireland hat driven the peop's to emi-
grate in great number., therefore depriving the country of a means
of recruiting its army. There was plenty of evidence by the petition
presented, by the popular feeling on the subject,—and upon these
gr°ll,ds he asked the Government to give to it their ems ous col-
a idera ion.

Similar views were expressed by Mr. B4well, Mr. Green, Mr.
O'Donoghue, and Mr. Hatchet.
Mr.H. HERBS RT said, if Irish memb3rs would frame a measure to
uehltrodneed next session, it would receive the careful consideration
°f Her Wiesty's Government. After a few words from Mr. Stafford
the culla was discharged and the bill was withdrasn.

THE BURIAL ACTS AMt NDMERIT BILL.

C 1 gel" g into Committee cn this bill, Mr. Missair proposed a clause
to the effect that in any burial ground provided by the acts respecting
Which one of her Majesty's principal Sterttaries of State should have
certified that the necessary prnshions had been complied with, It
ould be lawful for the incumbent, of which parish his curate or a
41113' qua'illed person authorised by him to bury Li such burial ground
prior to the consecration thereof.
t GLADSTONE considered this as a step towards the dissolution of
he bonds of ecclesiastical law, and condemned the power placed by
It in the hands of the incumbent, because a particular Bishop neglected
to obey the law.

After some discussion, the clause was agreed to, on a division, by
Majority of 39.

Soma other datum wero proposed and agreed to, and the bill wai
reported with amendments.

Mr. MASSEY obtained leave, and introduced a bill to amend the law
concerning detached parts of counties, so far as respects the establish-
ment of county cmstables.
The bill was read a first time.
The Camassxx of the Westmeath Election Committee reported
that the sitting members have been duly elected.
The House adjourned at five minutes to six o'clock.

TREASONABLE CONDUCT OF THE lONIAN

ASSEMBLY.

Since the arrival of the recent news from India the
'leaders of the, spiteful Greek faction, in Corfu, flatter them-
selves that the power of England is at an end, and that the
blue has come when they may strike a deadly blow at her-
On. the 2nd July, Signor Dandolo rose and stated that a
petition was in circulation, the prayer of which was to
make Corfu an English colony. It is now admitted that
this was simply an invention for the purpose of affording a,
pretext for the reek-dramatic interruption of the public
business. No sooner had Signor Dandolo told his wonder-
ful story than the President of the Assembly rose to express
his indignation at the idea of merging the nationality of
the Hellenic in an alien race. The remit of the proceed-
ings which ensued aze summed up by Signor Lombardo.
Re asked, who dare say now that the foreigner can find
1111 Y support in these islands ; with enthusiasm and unani-
mity we have voted the national insurrection. Hencefor-
ward, therefore, it is only by force that the present political
system. can be kept up. The report of the day's sitting
was ordered to be printed, and hundreds of copies were
the
off by the first post to the other islands—Greece and
,me Whole of the Levant. The plain English of this is, that
the lonian Assembly, under false pretences, has issued a
Manifesto to the whole of the Levant, calling on the Greeks
to assist in the annexion of the lonian Islands to the king-
dom of Greece. The lonian Assembly has male itself a
focus of Eastern agitation, with a view to subvert the power
and thwart the policy of England. Although the ring-
leaders in the denunciati)n of England were officials hold -
ing office at the pleasure of Sir John Young, the governor,
he has not removed one of them. They dined at his table
the day after. The Daily News attributes this c)nduct to
indolence and incapacity.
