SUPPOSED THIRD
ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE
OF H ER MAJESTY.

(From a Second Edition of the Dispatch.)
It is not without much regret and indignation that
we find it our painful duty to place before the public
such particulars as, in our haste, we have been
enabled to collect, regarding another supposed at-
tempt to destroy our beloved Queen. A deed more
dastardly can scarce be well conceived than that of
taking a sovereign's life by assassination ; and we
may hope, for the sake of the English character, that,
if such an endeavour was intended, the miscreant
will be apprehended ere the sun goes down.
This day, at a few minutes before twelve o'clock,
as her Majesty and Prince Albert were proceeding in
their carriage through St. James's Park, attended by
their suite, from Buckingham Palace to the Chapel,
Royal, St. James's, another diabolical attempt was
thought to have been intended on the life of her
Majesty, notwithstanding it was only yesterday
determined Francis should not suffer on the scaffold.

When the Royal cortege had proceeded a short dis-
tance from the marble arch, towards the Duke of
Sutherland's mansion, a young man of the name of
Dassett, residing at 42, Church-street, Paddington,
observed a deformed lad, having a large hump on his
right shoulder, and dressed in a long, shabby, brown
frock coat, and seemingly fustian trousers, lying half
crouched down by the side of one of the trees opposite
the railings of the Green Park ; his attention being
particularly directed to him from a very singular ex-
pression of countenance, he saw that he had a pistol
in his hand, which he at once seized and wrested from
him, but not before it had been snapped and missed
fire, although there was powder in the pan. Dassett,
who was in company with his brother and uncle, Mr.
Jones, of North-street, Maida-hill, collered the lad
and informed a policeman of what he had seen, but it
is stated he did not seem inclined to take the charge,
and the lad in some way escaped.
A crowd soon collected, and it was thought the
guilty party was Dassett himself, who had then pos-
session of the pistol, and he was taken to the station-
house in Gardiner's-lane. The pistol, upon being
examined, was found to be loaded with a small quan-
tity of powder, and a piece of tobacco-pipe ; it was
also very currently reported that there were some
gravel stones in it, but this, it is stated by Dassett's
brother, is not the fact.

An examination of the witnesses took place, and
expresses were sent to Sir James Graham and Mr.
Phillips.
The result of what occurred is, that the most active
exertions are being made to discover and apprehend
the party who was seen with the pistol, and which,
from his singular appearance, there is no doubt will
soon be done.

The Royal carriage, on each side of which an
equerry was riding, was about twenty paces distant,
when the lad, for he did not appear to be above six-
teen years of age, was first seen as above described,
and, of coarse, there was an instantaneous rush to
see her Majesty as she passed, and this confusion it
was that favoured the escape of the really guilty
_party.
Up to two o'clock, Dassett was at the station-house,
and the other lad had not been traced.

The news soon spread like wildfire through the
metropolis. and hundreds of people flocked to the
station-house to hear the result. What is the real
motive for this, the third attempt, and so near the
same spot, against her Majesty, for that the pistol was
intended to be discharged for some purpose there can
be no doubt of course is not known, but the clemency
shown to Francis has not apparently hal the effect it
was supposed.
By half-past two o'clock the people, who had as-
sembled at the station-house, were all dispersed ; but
the spot in the park, where the circumstance occurred,
was thronged.
