THE LATE DELICATE INVESTIOATION.-Lora
Wyriford has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Standard,
in which his Lordship states, that he had not seen Mr. Norton,
nor bad any communication with him before the late action
was brought, nor with him nor his professional advisers since ;
and that he knew nothing of the merits of the case, nor of the
witnesses by whose testimony ►t was attempted to be supported.
MERIONETHSIIIRE ELECTlON.—Nurnbcrs at the

" FEMALE DOMINATION."—It appears that the
name of the heroine of this new novel, " Mrs. Armytage," is
to take precedence in the title of the work, and it is, conse-
quently to be called " Airs. Armytage ; or, Female Domina-
tion." The announcement of a new work by the Authoress of
" Mothers and Daughters," was sure to command great inte-
rest; but so much curiosity has not been excited by the an-
nouncement of any new work of fiction for several years past,
as has been shoWn on this occasion ; and we doubt not the re-
sult will fully justify these high expectations.
CHAMPAGNE.----By an accurate account of the ex-
portation and consumption of genuine Champagne during the
last year, it appears that, without including the Burgundy
Champagne or any other sold under the name of Champagne,
the total exportation from the department of the Marne of
sparkling Champagne was. 2,700,000 bottles. Between the
period of bottling and sending the wines away, the loss by burst-
ing of bottles amounted to one• third of the whole produce.
Sillery produces from 50 acres, 10,000 bottles, and Ai from
200 acres, 50,000 bottles. The prices at the vineyards have,
upon an average of the last eight years, been for the first qua-
lity from 3fr. to 4f. a bottle ; second quality, from 2fr. 50c. to
3fr. a bottle ; and third quality, from 2fr. to 21r. 50c. The
annual, consumption of genuine Champagne in France has been
626,000 bottles, but it is diminishing.. The consumption abroad
has been upon an average as follow s :—ln England and the
East Indies, 467,000 bottles ; in Germany, 479,000 ; in the
United States, 400,000 ; in Russia, 280,000; and in Sweden
and Denmark, 30,000 bottles. _ _

We hear that the celebrated oculist, Privy Coun-
cillor Graf°, has given to the young Prince of Cumberland,

Prince Talleyrand,". according to the Message-r)
" on arriving at Orleans, on his late journey to Valangay, and
on getting home, found himself very seriously indisposed, al-
though he had been prepared for travelling by copious bleed-

seized him, and that during several hours it was doubt( d whe-
ther he still lived. The return of such a crisis makes all his
family very anxious. Some persons assort that the, sbject of

THE LATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE KING
OF THE FRENCH.
(From the Journal des Debats.)
France will learn with sorrowful indignation a fresh attempt
just.committedupon the person of the King.
His Majesty had inclined his head to salute the National
Guard, who were rendering him military honours, when the
assassin, resting his gun-cane upon the door of the carriage,
discharged it. . The movement which the King was .making
at the moment saved him. The ball went and lodged itself
in the roof of Ile carriage, where it was found. The wad-
ding remained in the King's whiskers. The smoke filled the
.carriage, in which were, on the back scat, the Queen and
Princess Adelaide. His Majesty put his head out, and, smil-
ing to the crowd, asked whether anybody was wounded. His
Majesty then proceeded to Neuilly, whither he arrived, under
his usual escort, without any thing denoting the fearful dan-
ger he had escaped. At Neuilly the King and Queen of the
Belgians, the young Princes and Princesses, who were all
unconseious,of the peril which the King had incurred, had just
run out to meet his Majesty. The King, smiling, said, "My
children, you see that I am doing well;. yet a pistol has just
been fired at me." The tears of the Queen and Madame in-
formed them of the rest.
After dinner, his Majesty, with his family, visited the posts
of the National Guard and Line, whose enthusiasm had
broken forth on the King's passage with extraordinary vehe-

• mence. -
The news of the attempt had spread at Paris, -and from all
quarters and ranks a concourse of persons came to Ncuilly to
compliment-his-Majesty. In the evening a considerable assem-
bly of Peers, Deputies, Magistrates, Foreign Ministers, Offi-
cers of all ranks, &C.,-filled the drawing-rooms., and every body
remarked the admirable serenity of the King amidst the alarm
excited by the sole thought of the danger ineurreoy his Ma-
jesty, and the anxiety which so incurable a perverseness- in-
spires fur the future.
His Majesty presided at a Council of Ministers, and it has
been decided that the attempt of the 25th of June shall be
referred on Monday to the Court of Peers.
To-morrow, at three, the two Chambers are to proceed in
a body to the King at the Tuileries.
We wish the crime may be an isolated one. If we be-
lieve our personal impression, and all that we hear about
the author of the crime, his cool decision, his obduracy, and
his language still menacing, he is a fanatic ; on the other
haucl,-.44 hideous. distress in which he has been found may
lead to the belief that he has been urged to crime, by_ some
furious despair; in such case it would he fanaticism grafted-
on misery, or the most horrible combination of evil feeling and
bad thoughts that can deprave the human heart. The inves-
tigation will show whether our conjectures be well founded.
The country will know whether the crime which distracts
again the smithy it commenced to enjoy be a melancholy
and solitary anernaly amidst political passions generally abat-
ing, or whether it be connected with the factious plots that
have so long lacerated the bosom of France.
The assassin is a young mm between 28 and 30 years of
age, wearing a long beard which surrounded his chin. His
costume tolerably clean in appearance, concealed a very dirty
shirt, which he himself avowed he had worn:for the last three
weeks. On his person were found two very short pipes,
twenty-two sous, a cotton handkerchief in a disgusting state,
and what was, it is presumed, a beard comb, and lastly au
opened dagger-knife, with a silver handle, the blade of which
was surrounded with paper. He. was questioned as to the
use he wished to make of the weapon; be replied 'that it was
to stab himself. He had, on finding himself arrested, at.
tempted to strike himself with the dagger, but he had been
disarmed. Alibeaud displayed much audacity and effrontery.
He refused to give any information. Extended on the camp-
bed in the guard-house, he directed his bold looks upon those
who surrounded him, and said, " Were I free I should begin

again."
The Procureur du Roi and Police Prefect arrived on the
first news of the attempt, and subjected him to a first exami-
nation.

A numerous escort cf Carabhicers conducted him to the
Conciergerie.
.

(From the Temps.)
The name of the assassin is Louis Alibeaud, of Nimes, de-
partment of the Gand.
On the news of the attempt to which the King has been
near falling a victim the Members of the Chambers of Peers
and Deputies instantly assembled.
Alibeaud is 25 years of age, and states himself to be a com-
mercial traveller. lie arrived in Paris about a month ago, and
lived in the hotel of the Rue des Marais, Saint Germain, No.
a, where he occupied the worst room in the house, for which,
we arc told, he paid 12 or 15 francs a month.
He wore a brown great coat, in a rather bad condition, and
trowsers of a whitish colour. His face is strongly marked with
the small pox, and surrounded with a very black beard. He
arrived on the Place des Carrousel about an hour and a half
before the King came out. He walked for a long time along
the railings of the Palace, and ended by entering into conver-
sation with a sentinel stationed near the triumphal arch. He
seemed to be very impatient, observing that he awaited a per-
son who had giv:n him a rendezvous.
When a movement of the carriages denoted the King's ar-
rival he left, crossed the Tuileries court, and stationed himself
near the gateway, which opens cn the quay, between the wall
and the post.
Immediately after the explosion Alibeaud wanted to-get rid
of his weapon. It fell upon the foot of a bystander, who seized
it with one hand and collared the assassin with the other.

Nobody was wounded: it was not for want of firmness in
the assassin. He had big waited for the King, and in order
not to attract attention had entered into a conversation with a
long-bearded Algerine, whom a wish to see the King had no
doubt attracted. Alibeaud had stationed himself on a spot be-
fore the gateway where the carriage, in entering it, must slacken
its pace. He rested his weapon upon his breast, when a po-
lice inspector standing behind perceived his movement and
seized him by the collar of his great coat. The circumstance
disturbed the gun, and the shot struck inside the coach, at the
angle above. There it remained.
arm used by Alibeaud is a gun cane, invented by M.
Desvignes, gunmaker in the Rue da Helder, and a sergeant
in a company of the 2d Legion, which was yesterday on guard
at the Palace. It is through M. Desvignes that the name of
the assassin has been discovered. On seeing the weapon he
recognized it has havio.g come from his manufactory. Soon
after he had identified the assassin himself as the same indi-
vidual who had come to him some time before to obtain em-
ployment as a clerk, under the mole of Louis Alibcaud. On
the name being 'given to the police, the residence of the as-
sassin *as immediately discovered.
Alibeaud made no resistance. -Nothing but a dagger was
found on his person. Conducted immediately after his arrest
into the closet of the officer commanding the interior post of
the Tuileries, he laid himself upon the camp bed, and would
answer no question ;he asked only for a glass of water. He
was next taken to the Conciergcrie, and questioned by the
police prefect. Alibeaud declared that he had no accom-
plices ; that in times like these, and an age of egotism, his
deed would not be understood ; but that for himself he had
deemed that he had fulfilled a duty, and that if it was to be
done over again he would do -it. He displayed considerable
excitement, and appears to have long entertained his criminal
design.
In his room Las been found a parcel, containing an ounce of
powder, some cartridges, and four bullets made for the size of.
his gun ; a Spanish grammar, two French grammars, the
second volume of Chateaubriand's " Martyrs," an " Essai sur
les Mceurs" (printed in London, without the author's name),
and a volume of St. Just's works (an edition published two
years ago). This volume is in a very dirty condition, and
seems to have been frequently handled. There were scarcely
any clothes in the room, which had all the appearances of
misery. His life_seemed to be regular enough. In the house
it is not remembered that any visitors came to him.
The King again displayed the coolness he has so often
evinced. Immediately after the explosion he asked with a
strong voice " Is there anybody wounded ?" and immediately
ordered the carriage to proceed.
P. S. Two o'Clock in the Morning.—We have just learned
that Alibeaud is 26 years of age. Papers have been seized at
his lodgings which have not yet been examined. He was at
Paris since November ; his passport states him to have come
from Perpignan.

The Prince and Princess •of Capua having left
Paris, various absurd rumours were in circulation that he
could not obtain a passport, and also that a certain intimation
respecting his stay in Paris was not an agreeable one. The
real fact is, the Prince was merely a traveller through France ;
matters of moment connected with his private affairs urged
him to make but as short a stay as possible in Paris. No one
could have conducted himself with more devotion and nicer
feelings of delicacy to a consort than the Prince, and no pair
appear to enjoy more domestic bliis.—French Paper.
