" I charge the Member for Nottingham with bribery. I
charge the Member for Harwich with bribery. I charge one
of the Members for Penryn and Falmouth with bribery. I
charge the Members for Reading with bribery. I charge the
Member for Lewes with bribery."—Mr. Roebuck, Friday
Night's Debate, May 6.

.11U
Commons of England ! once within your Hall
Our iron Cromwell caused Corruption's fall—
Flung his stern words at those assembled there,
While each the other viewed with wildered stare :
Thou art a perjurer—thou a coward—thoa
Thy country's traitor, false to thy true vow."
So scourged he all, then pack'd their crew to reign
Down in Perdition, with " Sir Harry Vane."
Like him, so acted that most potent man.—
" Emperor" call him, or plain " Corsican"—
Who, mid five hundred traitors calmly trod,
Frowned his dark frown—dissolved them with his nod;
The awe-struck herd evanished from the floor,
While he—a second Cromwell—locked the door.
Third let him rank—a lesser—yet not small—
Who now, like those, treads nobly England's Hall ;
Lifts his just voice, and bids corrupted right
Stand out from darkness, and confront the light ;
Ho! Chelsea tremble—Larpent blush and start—
E'en thou, staunch Plumriuge, quail thou in thy heart;
Shrink Hobhouse—Elphinstone—and fifty more,t
Yet to .be known when cut we to the core ,
While England sees, by Roebuck's courage bold,
Corruption crushed beneath her seats of gold.

* Napoleon, in the Council of Five Hundred.

ANOTHER CONSPIRACY TO MUR-
DER LOUIS PHILLIPPE.

Another conspiracy to assassinate the King of the
French has happily been detected ; and several per- '
sons, chiefly ouvriers, have been arrested, among whom
is the notorious Considere, twice before implicated in
similar plots, but acquitted. A quantity of petards,
arms, and ammunition, found in their possession, has
been seized. The following letter contains the fullest 1
particulars relative to this most atrocious conspiracy :
" PARIS, MAY 7.—A rumour prevailed yesterday
that a conspiracy to murder the King had been disco-
vered, to which, however, little credence was attached,
the more especially from the silence observed by the
Government Journals last night, and the absence of
all allusion whatever to it by any of the journals
of this morning. 1 find, however, upon inquiry, that
the fact is but too true, that a discovery has been
made by the police, which leaves no doubt of the ex-
istence of a plot not only to murder the King, but to
involve in the same fate as many members of the
•Royal Family as should be with his AL-tjesty at the
chosen moment for putting the atrocious plan of the
conspirators into execution. It appears that during
the summer months the King is in the habit
of driving out from Neuilly in a large open
caleche, accompanied by the Queen and other
members of the Royal Family. Upon such occa-
sions the carriage is unattended by a military escort,
and the horses are driven at a merely ordinary pace.
These circumstances seem to have suggested the
idea of an infernal machine, and one has been in-
vented of a simple character, being in form an ordi-
nary sized ball, calculated to burst upon falling,
and to shatter everything near it with irresistible
force. The principal material is said to be a fulmi-
nailing powder of a very powerful character. The
instruments for working, the materials, and some balls,
were found upon premises adjacent to Considere's wine-
shop in the Rue Montmartre. This Considere has been
twice tried for complicity in plots to murder the King,
and each time acquitted. He was one of those tried
in connection with Quenisset. Considere has been
arrested, with seven others. This conspiracy will
lead, in all probability, to more stringent laws. The
police authorities complain that they have no preven-
tive power—they say that, no matter how strong the
moral certainty may be on their minds that marked
and suspected persons are planning wickedness,
yet that they cannot interfere ; and then when
the plot comes to light, people ask what were the
police about ? Of what use are they ? And what
has been done with the secret service money voted for
preventive objects ? Upon the other hand, the abuses
to which so dangerous a privilege might give rise can-
not be lost sight of. Up to Thursday night the police
remained in ignorance of what was hatching.
" On Sunday evening last the King sat at an open
window looking upon the garden of the Tuileries dur-
ing a whole hour, while a musical hand was perform-
ing below in honour of his fete day. The garden was
densely crowded, and it was observed that the greet-
ing of the multitude was of an unusually cordial
character. The public mind has latterly, thanks to a
wise and moderate Government, been so calmed and re-
gulated, that a return to loyal feelings appears to have
taken place, and the discovery just made will excite
horror and disgust universally.
" The Chartist petition, which excited some curio-
sity, no longer attracts attention. The dangers just
discovered at home from regicide ruffians have de-
stroyed all interest, if any existed, in the proceedings
of the malignant and cowardly demagogues of the
other side of the water."

ARRIVAL OF THE CLYDE
STEAMER.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING.-The Royal
Mail Steam-packet Company's steamer, the Clyde, ar-
rived at Southampton at a late hour last night. She
left Havannah on the 16th April, and brings all the
mails. They were landed at Falmouth, and will not
be received in town till to-morrow.

-VVe have received by this vessel a file of Havan-
nail papers to the 16th ult., but they contain nothing
importance. The Creole men were liberated by
the Court at Nassau on the 16th of April.
The Clyde has brought a quantity of money for the
payment of the Mexican dividend.
(From the Nassau Royal Gazette of April 16.)
THE CREOLE MUTINEERS.

The 17 men who remain of the 19 originally con-
fined in the gaol of this town, under circum-
stances with which the public are already familiar,
were this morning discharged by proclamation
of the Special Court, or general gaol delivery,
which was convened for the occasion, and before
which they were arraigned in order that
they might undergo a trial for piracy, should
any prosecutor appear. The United States Consul
requested further time that he might procure evidence
to substantiate the charge ; the Court, however, de-
cided that it would be most unjust further to detain
the men, as there was not even a possibility of pro-
curing any evidence which could bring the crime
home to them. They were accordingly discharged.
(From tile same of April 6.)
The Teviot, Lieut. Crock, R.N., from Turk's Is-
land, with the March mail, is just anchored outside of
Hog Island. _ _ .

(From the same of April 9.)
The Teviot sailed on Thursday, about noon, fir
Havannah.

In December last a bull-dog;• belonging to M.
Migeon, a wood-merchant, on the Chaussee du Maine, got
out of the yard, and entering the lodge of the porter of a
neighbouring house, named Pasquier, seized his child, between
five and six years old, and caused its death. The father brought
an action of damages against M. Migeon for the loss of his
child, but the Correctional Tribunal dismissed the complaint.
Pasquier, however, laid an appeal before the Couce Royale,
which was heard on Wednesday; when the judgment of the
Lower Tribunal was reversed, and hI. Migeon was condemned
to pay a fine of 50f., and the damages to the amount of
2,000 f., to Pasquier.
The sums which the city of Paris has since the
year 1833 granted to the hospitals as its contributions towards
their maintenance, amount to nearly 50,000,000 f., being an
average of 6,250,000 f. per annum.
