the new triumph of the Allied arms ; but we can
no longer be bamboozled by such fair-weather
protestations, or attach any weight to the pro-
mises of a Power which has afforded so many
unequivocal proofs of its duplicity and insincerity,
whose strength, such as it is, will only be used
on the winning side when the result is no longer
doubtful, and when their tardy aid is more likely
to embarrass than to benefit the victors. What
the Allies have gained by their unassisted prowess
will be applied for their own advantage, without
caring for the wishes or remonstrances of despi-
cable neutrals or contemptible " Waiters on PRO-
IVIDENCE."

Another attempt has been made on the life of
the Imperial Ruler of France—or rather a cari-
cature resemblance of one of these atrocious out-
rages. A half insane but wholly mischievous mis-
creant, on Saturday evening, discharged two small
pistols against one of the Imperial carriages, in
which some of the Dames d'Honneur were seated.
It does not appear that either the carriage or any
of its inmates were in any degree injured, or that
it could be regarded as a serious attempt at regi-
cide, or anything more than a sickly effort to
attract attention. The EMPEROR himself was in
a different carriage ; and it is at present impos-
sible to say whether the offender fancied that he
was really endeavouring to commit a crime that
might have been attended with the most frightful
consequences to the cause of liberty and civilisa-
tion all over the world.

The scoundrel was at once seized by the police.
It turned out that he was a native of Rouen,
named BELLEMARRE, who, although young in
years, was old in iniquity. He was only dis-
charged from prison in February last, after three
years' incarceration, to which he had been sen-
tenced for a libellous publication, denominated
" Motives for the Condemnation to Death of
Louis NAPOLEON." Previously be had been
convicted of swindling, although only six-
teen years' of age, and sentenced to two
years imprisonment. But there he experienced
the clemency of the EMPEROR, and was discharged
at the end of two months. It is said that on ex-
amination he appeared to be, if not a maniac, on
the verge of imbecility, and scarcely accountable
for his actions.

The travestied attempt will remind many of our
readers of a similar outrage perpetrated by a
humpy pot-boy, actuated by a morbid craving
after notoriety, against our most gracious SOVE-
REIGN. The remedy then suggested has ever
since proved effectual against repetitions of the
foul offence. It was felt that the vilest and most
degrading description of punishment, that
of personal flagellation, would be most suit-
able for the crime, and would prove most
effectual in preventing parties from indulg-
ing in such mock heroics. The efficacy of the
remedy has been tested by experience. Those who
might dare the extreme penalty of the law, worked
up by an over-excited imagination, or possibly some
worse motive, would shrink from the pain and
ignominy of corporal punishment, publicly and
soundly administered. There would be nothing
very heroic in such a termination, and we believe
that it would operate no less decisively in France
than it has done in England.
There was, happily, no mischief occasioned in
the present instance ; but when we consider the
inestimable value of the life against which its
abortive demonstration was made, and the evil
effects of such exhibitions, we should desire, that a
degrading punishment inflicted on the perpetrator
should alike mark the public detestation of the
crime—and, what is more important, should ope-
rate to deter all others from similar outrages,
which would render them contemptible and
ridiculous in the eyes of their fellow-subjects and
of Europe.

Query—after all—whether we have gained so
very much by the last re-organisation of her
MAJESTY'S Government ? True, no doubt (and
thank GOD for it !), we have contrived by that
change to get rid of the Cabinet of All the Talents.
But, in its place, have we not obtained, unhap-
pily, the Ministry of the Mediocrities ? Except-
ing the Prime Minister alone, there is positively
not one member of the Admiiiistration of more
than second or third-rate importance. The ad-
vantages secured to the country by the recent
fluttering of the Voiscians in the Corioli of Down-
ing-street would appear to have been for the most
part of a negative rather than of a positive cha-
racter. The arch-traitors have been driven out
of office, it is true—condemned, some of them, to
expiate their Ministerial crimes in the limbo of the
Back Benches, while others have been banished
by universal consent to that Coventry of the House
of Commons, the seat below the gangway, sacred
to the persons of the political bagmen of Manches-
ter. While, however, the principal delinquents
have been dealt with thus summarily—the small
fry of their subordinates have, by a monstrous
oversight, been left altogether unmolested. The
underlings of place and party have be©n allowed
to maintain their position, except in a few scat-
tered instances, here and there, observable upon
very close examination, precisely as matters were
under the evil rule of my Lord ABERDEEN, that
Old Man of the Sea, so long saddled upon the
shoulders of the Sinbad among the Natims of
Christendom.

Everything considered, indeed, we are well rid,
by this last great act
of Ministerial re-organisa-
tion, of much that was pernicious,
pernicious even
of exaggeration,
that was
to a degree beyond the reach
But while we have lost much
detrimental to the interests 01 the nation,
it must be confessed that we have
gained
little enough that is in any way calculated
to
servo the purposes of improved Government. If
Lord ABERDEEN was dull and obstinate, Lord
PALMERSTON has shown himself to be both petu-
lant and frivolous. More than all which, he has
proved himself at the very outset of his career, as
First Lord of the Treasury, to be altogether as
squeezable as ever were his old friends the Whigs
—a fact notorious ever since he strained at the

c/ gnat of a Division, and thereupon, immediat y
afterwards, with a wry face ald a misera 1;m affec-
tation of indifference, 'wallowed tb":J eamei, it the
shape of Mr. 110.7.03v0K's Committee.
we have no longer at the head of our Admiralty
"Ind lubber" so egregiously ignorant as Sir
J'AmEs GRAHAM showed himself to be, when he
babbled about "vertical fire" from ordnartet ttsed
au ship-board—we have the misery of knowing
that the Royal Navy of England is, at this great
crisis in our maritime destinies, presided over by
the most Wood-on headed and incompetent of all
our wooden-headed and incompetent Administra-
tors. Meanwhile—Chancery, with all its callow
brood of law reforms, still continues to be watched
from the snug neat of the woolsack, by a learned
Baron, whose continual hatching of plans and
perpetual cackling over their excellence, provoke
among the observant a ludicrous similitude be-
tween himself and good Dame PARTLET ! As to
the Foreign Secretaryship, we might be tempted
to exult, without any sense of reservation what-
ioever, over the circumstance of t.ha t all-irrortant

DON, but that even his patriotism and sagacity
have been in a manner tainted by association,
during so prolonged and disastrous an interval,
with the treasonous imbecility of his Aberdeenite
co-administrators. Howbeit, it is altogether with
very different sentiments, indeed, that we turn
our glance from the Foreign-office, where Lord
CLARENDON is still dominant, to the Horse Guards,
where Lord HARDINGE has been only nominally so,
from the ill-omened day when the Noble Viscount
first undertook to wield the sword which had just
then fallen from the slackened grasp of our dead
WELLINGTON. From that moment in the con-
duct of our military affairs, the German, as every-
body knows, took precedence of the Anglo-Saxon.
Britannia resigned her buckler and her brand,
and with them even the yard measure and the
goose of her army tailor, to the keeping of Alle-
mania ! All-a-mania we should rather call it,
whether we look to absurd caps or absurder tunics,
to that wretched "British German Legion" [hor-
rid conjunction of names !] paraded nowadays in
the columns of the London Gazette, or to those
craven trucklings to Austria, and Prussia, and
Germanism-Rampant generally, in which origi-
nated the despicable Four Points and the conse-
quent Viennese Conferences. Rather than pause
for any length of time in contemplation over
the melancholy spectacle of this notorious gan-
grene iu our military system—we would turn,
in some sort of a half-despairing hope, to the
Financial Department of her Majesty's Govern-
ment under the new regime, the regime of the
Palmerstonians, as contradistinguished from that
of their "identical predecessors," the Aberdeenites.
Yet there, too, can be discerned but small reason
for indulging in anything like unalloyed exulta-
tion—for if, in the person of Mr. GLADSTONE,
we have got rid of a hair-splitting and crotchetty
experimentalist (who, besides this, has proved
himself a traitor to the national cause by evi-
dencing his sympathy for the enemies of our com-
mon land, the foes, too, of our heroic Allies the
French, and for that matter, indeed, the threat-
eners of the peace of liurope and of the liberties
of Christendom), we have seen inducted into his
vacated office, not some eminent master of finan-
cial tactics, but the dreariest of metaphysicians,
and the dullest of all known editors of any of our
chief quarterly periodicals.
Compelled to pronounce ourselves thus du-
biously in regard to any hypothetical improve-
ment discernable among so many of the princi-
cipal departments of the Administration—
what on earth can, with any show of reason,
be said in commendation of the change effected
is the most important of all at this most imminent
juncture, meaning thereby, of course, the War
Department. Unable anywhere to discover a
CARNOT for the crisis, Lord PALMERSTON replaced
simultaneously the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Mr.
SIDNEY HERBERT, by nominating as the successor
of both that astounding administrator, Lord PAN-
MURE—an administrator utterly astounding to
the country at large, if for no reason from the
extraordinary fact of his inaugurating his accession
to power, after a series of deplorable disasters
arising out of the incompetency of his prede-
cessors, by boldly avowing that his policy would
be identical with that which had just brought dis-
grace and almost infamy upon the Duke of NEw-
CASTLE. Supposing this insensate avowal, how-
ever, to be insufficient of itself as an indication
of the questionable advantages resulting, in this
instance at least, from the last general re-organisa-
tion of the Government, we may turn, as for
some more signal illustration of the fact, to the
nomination by Lord PANMURE either of a most
incompetent or of a most unpatriotic subordinate
to the responsible office of Storekeeper at the
Ordnance. Either, We say, and it is common
sense that drives us perforce to one or other of
these conclusions—either this Storekeeper at the
Board of Ordnance is a most incompetent or a
most unpatriotic servant of the Administration.
Otherwise the national interests would never have
been paltered with, as they have unquestionably
been paltered with just now in the Baltic—where
our gigantic fleet, a fleet costing us actually not
less than 30,0001. per diem, has been left in the
lurch, placed hors de combat, deprived of the chance
of following up its partial success at Sweaborg, be-
cause, forsooth, this singularly competent and won-
derful patriotic Storekeeper had not subjected the
country to an additional expenditure of merely
2,5001.--(the merest bagatelle, when taken into
account with this daily disbursement of 30,000/.
upon the Baltic Fleet exclusively)—an additional
expenditure of 2,5001. for about 500 13-inch
mortars with which to have replaced those used
up, burst, honeycombed, and crystallised by the
thundering ordeal of the bombardment. Where.
fore, we ask, was there no such provision for an
emergency like this, an. emergency that was known
to be inevitable / Wherefore, but that the pre-
sent Storekeeper at the Board of Ordnance must
be a man either monstrously incompetent, or,
worse than that, disgracefully unpatriotic ! Aha
for the nomination of this man tg the important
office, the affairs of which he has so ill adminis-
tered, who else can 103 held responsible than the
Right Hon. F',,x MAULE, Baron PANISIIIItg the
War Mintster of this boasted Cabinet or Palmer-
stop:ans ? Enough, surely, has been here indi-
cated to justify every syllable by which we have
hinted a doubt as to the loyal ardour in the course
of the that War against Russia, whether of the
chiefs or of the subordinates of the Administra-
tion. Enough, we conceive, has been here re-
marked to enforce, and that, moreover, rat her
deplorably, the regret already expressed by us,
that we should only have replaced the Cabinet of
All the Talents by the Ministry of the Mediocrities,

AFFAIRS AT ST. PETERSBURG.

A letter from St. Petersburg,- of the 30th ult., in
the Constitutionnel, says :
Bankruptcies succeed bankruptcies here—the Tribunal
has declared 20 to-day. The public establishments of
credit appear, however, to suffer less, if the official re-
port of the Minister oeFinance can be relied on. He
lately stated to the Council of the State Institutions of
Credit that, notwithstanding existing circumstances, the
banks continue their operations with satisfactory results.
Thus, for example, in the savings bank there was an
increase of 3,156,674 silver roubles in the last financial
year (the silver rouble is upwards of 4 fr.), in the depot
bank there was no diminution, and in the deposit bank
there was an increase of 5,552,808 roubles. These
figures are printed in the report ; it remains to be
seen what has become of the money which they re-
present. Moreover, the Minister announces that
the loan of 50,000,000 roubles has been realised,
and that the repayment of it will commence in
1857. He informs us that the amount of the state debt
is 476,615,039 roubles. The operations of the commercial
bank have increased their profits by 1,236,145 roubles,
but this is a small result, 600,000,000 of capital having
been employed to obtain if ; and this is a proof how much
Russia suffers from the present war. The Grand Duke
Nicolas Nicolajewitch is at present building a splendid
palace. Marbles of Finland and Siberia have been ordered
for this new ornament of the Russian capital. It is said
that the Prinoe will soon be married, but the report that
was current recently, that he was about to marry the
daughter of the Grand Duke Peter of Oldenburg, appears
premature.

PRINCE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. _

PLYMOUTH, Sunday Evening.—His Imperial Majesty's
yacht Ariel, Captain De Beaulieu, which left Cherbourg
at 3 o'clock this morning, arrived in the Sound at 7 this
evening, having on board Prince Napoleon and suite,
consisting of Colonel Do Marest, Captain De Laroucherrs,
R.N., Colonel Cypriani, of the Piedmontese army, Dr.
Yran, and Commander }'ery Pisany. The yacht pro.
ceeded into Hamoaze, and his Highness landed imme-
diately and went to the Government-house, Mount
Wise, where he was received by Port Admiral Sir Wil-
liam Parker, Bart., G.C.B.
It is stated to he the intention of the Prince to visit
several English ports. The yacht is to be ready for de-
parture at le o'clock to-morrow (Monday) morning.

REPORTED LOSS OF H.M.S. WOLVERINE.

The steam-ship Daniel Webster, of the Nicaraguan
line, arrived at New York on the 27th, brought news of
the loss of her Majesty's sloop Wolverine, Commander
John Corbett, 12 guns. The following is the statement
on the subject published by the New York papers :
" O❑ the night of the 14th a terrific hurricane swept
over the Mosquito Coast, involving the total loss of her
Britannic Majesty's sloop-of-war Wolverine. Her cutter
reached San Juan del Sur on the 16th with despatches
for the steam frigate Buzzard, lying in that harbour, to
render immediate assistance, and she left for the scene
of disaster as soon as steam was got, up."
Some of the circumstancesmentioned in this paragraph
give ground for hope that the loss of the ship may not
be so complete as here affirmed, or at least that all lives
are saved.

EXTRA FIELD ALLOWANCE TO THE

ARMY.

VICTORIA R.—Whereas, we deem it expedient to
grant a field allowance to the non-commissioned offi-
cers and soldiers, of our regular army, when engaged
in active operations in the field against an enemy ; our
will and pleasure is, that from the Ist day of July, 1855,
every non-commissioned officer and soldier then serving
in the field, and every othernon-commissioned officer and
soldier from the date of arrival at the seat of war, shall
be entitled to a field allowance of 6d. a day in addition
to his daily pay, to be continued to him so long as be
shall remain on active duty in the field. During the
period of a non-commissioned officer or soldier being in
hospital his field allowance will cease, but will be allowed
from the day he returns to duty in the field. Given at
our Court at St. James's, the 16th day of August, 1855,
in the 19th year of our reign.—By her Majesty's com-
mand. PANIIIIRE.

the Rue Marsollier on the foot pavement opposite
to the entrance of the theatre, and he fired his
two pistols at the moment when the cries of "Vive
l'Empereur" made him fancy that the carriage
which conveyed the Ladies of Honour of the
Empress was that of his Majesty.
A city policeman on duty at this point in-
stantly pulled down the assassin's arm and cap-
tured him at once.

Bellemarre was first taken to the police-office
at the Italian Theatre, and at once, M. Pietri,
Prefect of Police, presiding, a first statement was
drawn up by the Commissary of Police of the
district.

The assassin is locked up in a cell at the
Conciergerie, where he is undergoing an exami-
nation.

The investigation continues.
His Majesty the Emperor, on his entrance
into the theatre, where the news of this criminal
attempt was immediately known, was greeted with
shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" and by rounds of
applause, which were renewed at intervals.
His Majesty only remained about one hour at
the theatre, and then proceeded to the Palace of
the Tuileries.
The Constitutionnel announces the occurrence
iu the same words. I have ascertained from pri-
vate cources the following particulars :
Yesterday evening a considerable crowd was
assembled in front of the Italian Theatre, in con-
sequence of the intimation conveyed by the words,
" By order," on the bills, that the Emperor would
be present to see Madame Riston's last perform•
ante this season. Notwithstanding reiterated
orders that a considerable clear space should be
kept around the door of any place where the Em-
peror alights from his carriage, the crowd was
allowed on this occasion to press very near to the
doors of the theatre. At a quarter to nine o'clock
a court carriage and four horses arrived, which
was very na,turally supposed by many to contain
the Emperor himself, but'in fact there were in it
only some of the Empress's ladies of honour. At
the moment when the coachman drew up along-
side the steps leading to the front door of the
theatre, a young man, in a blouse and grey cap,
stepped forward, drew a pistol from his pocket,
placed the muzzle almost close to the carriage
window, fired, and broke the glass. Immediately
after wards he raised a second pistol, but as he
was in the act of firing a sergent de rille struck his
arm down, and the charge entered the ground.
An instant later the man was seized, handcuffed,
and lodged in the guardhouse of the theatre. The
I ladies, as they stood on the steps of the doorway,
on descending from the carriage, audibly thanked
Providence that the Emperor had escaped.
About five minutes after this occurrence the Emp-
eror arrived, and being struck by the sound of un-
usually loud and prolonged cries of " Vive l'Em-
pereur !" inquired the cause. On being told what
had happened, his Majesty instantly ordered the
coachman to drive all round the theatre. The
Imperial carriage accordingly, amid the cheering
of the public, made the entire circuit of the Place
Ventadour before his Majesty alighted. On en-
tering the house the Emperor said, Let not a
word be said to the Empress, and keep back the
telegraphic despatches."
Dr. Conneau was immediately despatched to St.
Cloud, where the Empress was, to take care that
the first part of this order was obeyed. Before
the Emperor reached the box the news of the
event had spread throughout the theatre. The
report of the pistols was indeed distinctly heard
in the saloon, the windows of which were open,
and where a good many people were assembled to
see the Emperor arrive. His Majesty was there-
fore received with great cheering when he ap-
peared in front of the Imperial box. A delay of
some minutes occurred before the performance
commenced. This was ascertained to be occa-
sioned by Madame Ristori having fainted away on
hearing what had happened. The idea that the
Emperor had run such a risk, by kindly announc-
ing his intention of being present at her farewell,
was too much for her. She, however, soon re-
covered, and played Maria Stuarda and the come-
dietta of J. Gelosi Fortunati as admirably as ever.
The Emperor left the house at half-past 10.

FRANCE.

We have received the Moniteur of yesterday.
It publishes the following despatch from Admiral
Bruat

"CRIMEA, SEPT. 6.

" The captain of frigate Huchet de Cintre' command-
ing the Milan, has informed me that the Milan and
Caton have destroyed in the Sea of Azoff, from Temriank
to Dolga, 43 fisheries, 127 boats, some thousand nets,
tar, salt, and an immense quantity of casks. Four
fisheries only have escaped destruction ; the shallowness
of the water did not allow our vessels to approach them.
The damage done to the enemy may be estimated at
some millions. The fishery trade in the Sea of Azoff
gives rise to a considerable export trade, which extends
to Poland.. The destruction which has been done will
render it imps sible for this year.
" Commander Qloue, of the Brandon, on his part
joined Captain Osbor*:,e, of the Vesuvius, to send their
boats up the gulf of OukliOuk, and to burn the provender
collected there on the coast, All the commanders of
our vessels congratulate themselves on being on so
friendly a footing with Captain Osborne,"
The following is the letter of Prince Murat
alluded to in my letter of Sunday last, on the pam-
phlet advocating the claims of the Prince to the
throne of Naples. The letter was addressed to his
nephew and is inserted in the brochure in question,
which is entitled, " Question Italienne : Murat et
les Bourbons"
" My dear Nephew,—Since it appears to you (as to
me) that I am the only possible solution, I am forbidden
all initiative. He must be a fool who argues from the
fact of his being born on the steps of the throne that the
crown belongs to him, or who considers an entire people
as his heritage—as his property, just as a private indi-
dual would a flock of sheep. Let Italy call upon me, and
I shall be proud to serve her. I will add, that she will
never find others that will serve her better than myself.
Her enemies are mine, and there is a terrible account to
settle between us. But, if Italy makes another choice, I
shall not the less pray for her happiness ; and I shall be
ready to give the last drop of my blood to contribute to
her success. Happy is be who shall be the elect of Italy:
his mission is easy. Be prudent; and remember this
maxim, which is not the less true because it is old—
' Noblesse oblige.' "L. MURAT."
The Emperor has received a letter from the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, announc-
ing the birth of a son.
Prince Napoleon yesterday visited the Ariel go-
vernment steamer, which having been placed at
the disposal of Prince Jerome, had entered the port
of Havre the preceding day from Cherbourg.
A very pretty anecdote is going the rounds of
fashionable society in Paris. I give it as I heard
it, without being able to assert its correctness. The
Empress said to the Prince of Wales, " I should
like to give you something before you leave Paris
—can you think what it shall bo ?" " A looking-
glass," replied the Prince. " And why a looking-
glass ?" exclaimed the Empress. " Because,"
rejoined the Prince, " I should know it had re-
flected yourself; and I should prize it accord-
ingly."

fuses to lie in bed, and remains extended on the

Riza Pacha has been named Ottoman Minister to the
Greek Government. M. Musurus has been appointed to

sent. The news from the Crimea are to the 28th. The
letter of the Emperor of the French to General Peworlissier
had produced a great sensation in the army. The ks
of the allies were within ten yards of the Malakhoff
tower, the batteries of which could not, consequently,
fire on them. The Russians were obliged to fire from
