ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN

(From the Evening Papers of Monday)
We have just been informed, by a messenger who left the
Green Park in great haste, that another attempt was made on
the Queen's life, by a young man of respectable appearance,
about 23 years f age, just as her Majesty was returning in a
barouche and four from her evening ride towards Bucking-
ham Palace. All of a sudden the flash of a pistol was observed
by the bystanders, and instantly the young man was seized.
Fortunately the pistol did not go off, and before a second
attempt could be made be was in custody. Indeed he did
not appear to make the attempt, for he put the pistol hur-
riedly into his breast, endeavouring to escape detection. It
does not appear from what we have heard that her Majesty
was at all aware of what had transpired. Singularly enough,
the affair took place about where Oxford made his atrocious
attempt. The prisoner was taken to the Palace Lodge,
under the charge of Colonel Arbuthnot, who was in attend-
ance on her Majesty.
An immense assemblage of gentlemen on horseback and
parties in the Park crowded around the prisoner, and evinced
the most lively anxiety to learn if her Majesty had sustained
any injury, which we are happy to say she did not.
It is also reported that her Majesty was shot at yesterday,
but as the person escaped, no notice was taken of the affair.
The attempt made this evening was communicated by Sir
James Graham to Sir Robert Peel irkthe House of Commons
about half-past six o'clock.

The assassin is a young man not apparently more than 25
years of age, rather short and stout. He is decently dressed,
and his general appearance betokens respectability. It is
stated that he exactly answers the description given of the
miscreant who made an attempt to assassinate Her Majesty
yesterday evening. We were not inclined to credit this story
of a previous attempt on Her Majesty's life last evening,
but, on inquiry, we learn from the highest authority, that it
is but too true that such an attempt was made. It appears,
that previous to Her Majesty's return to Buckingham Palace
this evening from her usual drive, the assassin attracted con-
siderable attention, by making use of the most horrible
language in the Park, saying that the Queen lived upon the
vitals of the people, at the same time making use of the
most abusive epithets. Her Majesty was in the low pony
phaeton, drawn by four greys, and just as the phaeton
reached the spot where the maniac Oxford made his diaboli-
cal attempt on Her Majesty's life, the individual now in
custody, drew a pistol from his breast, and presenting it at her
Majesty, attempted to discharge it, providentially without ef-
fect. The miscreant was instantly arrested, and amidst the exe-
cration of the bystanders,who seernedalmost inclined to execute
summary vengeance on him, was conveyed to one of the
lodges of the Palace, and partially searched. The pistol with
which he had made the attempt, and which he had immedi-
ately afterwards thrust into his bosom, was taken from him,
examined, and discovered to be loaded with ball, so that the
same difficulty as to proving the intent will not occur in this
case that occurred in the case of Oxford. He was subse-
quently conveyed to the Gardner's-lane Station-house, where
he was subjected to a most minute examination, but whether
or not any other weapons have been found on him, we were
unable to ascertain, as the strictest orders have been given
to the authorities to observe the greatest secresy on the sub-
ject. The prisoner does not present the slightest appearance
of insanity, and seemed perfectly calm and collected. We
understand he refuses to state his place of abode, or, indeed,
any particulars about himself. At half-past seven, he was
conveyed from the Station-house to the Home-office, where
he is at present under examinations before the Privy Council.
Sir R. Peel, Sir J. Graham, Lord Wharncliffe, and all the
Cabinet Ministers, are assembled at the Home-office, for the
purpose of being present at his examination.
Mr. Manic, the Solicitor to the Treasury, and Colonel
Rowan, the Chief Commissioner of Police, arc also in
attendance there. We have reason to believe that the
prisoner's name is known, but that it would frustrate the
ends of justice if it were permitted to transpire for the
present. The examination is a strictly private one, and no
stranger is on any account permitted to be present. We
sent our reporter to the Home-office, for the purpose of
watching the proceedings. His request to be present, how-

DEMONSTRATION OF LOYALTY AT THE VARIOUS THEATRES.
The news of the attempt on the life of Her Gracious Ma-
jesty was communicated to the lessees of the various theatres
on the evening of the occurrence, and at the Olympic Theatre
the moment it was made known, Mr. C. Baker, the stage-
manager, addressed the audience in the following terms :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l have the honour to appear be-
fore you under most peculiar and exciting circumstances, with
feelings of mingled pain and joy—pain in announcing to you
that a fiendish attempt has again been made on the life of
our beloved sovereign, and joy at having the happiness to in-
form you that the miscreant has, thank God, been secured
(here the audience rose and cheered tumultuously, with
waving of hats and handkerchiefs ); and I have further to
add that the assassin at this moment is under examination at
the Home-office." (Loud cries of " God save the Queen"
from all parts of the house.) Mr. Baker.—You have but
anticipated the intention of Mr. Wild, the lessee, who,
yielding in loyalty to no subject of her majesty, has desired
me to state that the national anthem shall instantly be sung.
(Loud cheers attended the delivery of Mr. Baker's speech.)
The curtain then rose and discovered the entire company on
the stage. The anthem was then sung, the audience joining
in the chorus in the most enthusiastic manner. At the En-
glish Opera Mr. Vining addressed the audience on the same
subject, and the national =Ahem was sung with a corres-
ponding enthusiasm by the actors and the audience. At the
New Strand Theatre the band played the national anthem,
without the vocal aid, the singet.s being absent. At the
Queen's, Surrey, Victoria, and Sadler's Wells, similar de-
monstrations of loyai4 were manifested.

(From the Times of Wednesday.)
EXAMINATION OE THE PR.ISONER

The examination cf prisoner occupied from a quarter
after twelve to a quarter past four o'clock in the afternoon,
and during the whole of that period the crowd in Whitehall
continued undiminished.

What transpired in the council chamber we cannot at-
tempt to describe, so inviolate was secrecy maintained on
the subject by all the officials connected with the Home-
office. We are only enabled to state that the identity of the
pritoner Francis with the miscreant who attempted also to
fire upon her Majesty on Sunday last was clearly established.
About half-past three o'clock the Prime Minister (Sir R.
Peel) quitted the Home-office by the private entrance on the
Parade in St. James's-park, and proceeded on foot at a quick
pace in the direction of Buckingham Palace. The Duke of
Wellington also quitted the council at a quarter to four
o'clock, and, on leaving the Home-office on horseback, his
Grace, who appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent
health. was loudly cheered by the numerous assemblage.
Sir R. Peel returned to the council at ten minutes past four
o'clock.

Immediately after the return of Sir R. Peel to the Home-
office, two messengers were despatched for hackney coaches,
one of which was brought to the front of the Home-office,
and the other was driven round through the Horse Guards
on to the Parade, and drew up at the garden-gate of the above
building. The policy of calling at the same moment two
coaches was soon made manifest. Hundreds, in fact we
might say thousands, quickly assembled round the one in
Whitehall, the crowd setting it down for certain that it was
to convey the would-be regicide to Newgate, whilst the ap-
proach of the other coach was hardly observed, and not
above twenty persons were collected round it.

At half-past four o'clock the few persons on the Parade
had their attention drawn to the opening of the wicket-door
of the Home-office, and the prisoner immediately appeared,
having on each side of him one of the turnkeys above spoken
of, and preceded by Lieutenant Tracy, carrying iu his hand
the warrant for the prisoner's commitment. The prisoner
held down his head as he traversed the garden, but still suf-
ficient of his face could be seen to convince all who saw him
that he felt but slightly the highly dangerous position in
which he had placed himself. To place the prisoner in the
hackney-coach was but the work of a moment. and, the two
turnkeys having followed him in, Lieutenant Tracy mounted
the box. and desired the coachman, in a loud voice, to drive
to " Newgate." The progress of the prisoner from the
Park to the place of his confinement was scarcely noticed,
so adroitly had his removal been managed.
The warrant of commitment charges " John Francis with
shooting at our Sovereign Lady Victoria the Queen with a
pistol loaded with powder and ball."
There have been some doubts expressed as to whether the
pistol actually went off; but these misgivings were cleared
up yesterday by the evidence of Mr. Fitzgerald, a highly re-
spectable gentleman, who swore that he was not more than
ten yards off when Francis aimed at her Majesty, and that he
distinctly heard the report. This evidence was strengthened
by the testimony of Colonel Wylde and two gun-smiths, who
declared the pistol to have been recently discharged.
The identity of the miscreant was established by Mr. Mark
Russell, a gentleman residing in Great St. Andrew's-street,
Seven Dials, and connected with the establishment of Covent-
garden Theatre. He was on Constitution-hill, and, with
other persons, attracted to the spot on hearing the report of
a pistol, when he at once identified the prisoner as the son of
Mr. Francis, who for above twenty years has been attached
to the machinist department of the theatre. It is a remark-
able circumstance that one of the checktakers, also connected
with the same theatre, was with his wife and family sitting
on a bench among the trees. This individual recognised Mr.
Russell, and they both were of opinion that the would-be
assassin had been employed at the theatre, and was the son
of Mr. Francis. Mr. Russell at once proceeded to Scotland-
yard, when he was referred to Gardiner's lane, and upon
seeing the prisoner there be felt convinced that his opinion
was correct. Upon the circumstance beino, made known to
her Majesty's ministers at the Council-office, an inspector of
police was forwarded to the theatae, with whom Mr. Francis
returned back to the Home-office, and there four.d, to his ex-
treme grief, that his son was the person charged with the at-
trocious attempt upon the life of the sovereign of these
realms. The same evening both Mr. Francis and Mr. Rus-
sell underwent a long examination, in the course of which it
appeared from the statement of the latter, that while in con-
versation with some friends, about four hours previous to the
apprehension of Francis, he: was seen by Mr. Russell, who
spoke to him. The royal cortege, when the pistol was dis-
charged, was fortunately proceeding at a rate rather more
rapid than usual, and to that circumstance it is supposed her
Majesty in a great measure owes the preservation of her lite,
as Francis was seen by police-constable Tounce to take a de-
liberate aim. The act had been noticed by Prince Albert,
who sat on the right side of his royal consort, and who im-
mediately rose from his seat. He pointed out the miscreant
to One of the outriders, when the royal servant got off his
horse to assist in his apprehension, but finding him secure
in the hands of Tounce and the soldier of the Fusileer Guards,
again followed the royal carriage. He made no attempt to
escape, and showed no symptoms of derangement.

THE ATTEMPT ON SUNDAY LAST

From the inquiries we have made we are enabled to state
that an attempt ca 1101- 31. njesty'b life was made by the mis-
creant, John Francis, on Sunday, the day previous to his
apprehension, and to his second crime, as the Queen and
Prince Albert were returning from attending divine service
at the Chapel oyai.
Q:Haes s Palace. Mr. Pearson, a
R
wood engraver, who has not been long in town, and who is
residing at No. 7, Castle-street, Holborn,
has furnished our
reporter with the following statement on the subject :—He
states that on suuday afternoon, about two o'clock, while
walking in St. James's Park, he saw the royal carriages con-
taining her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, approaching
from the direction of the Chapel Royal, and when near to
the little gate, leading out of the drive into the Green-park,
he saw a young man who was stanging near him, with his
back to the rails, pull a pistol out of his breast, and as the
Queen's carriage passed, present the weapon at it, but whe-
ther he pulled the trigger he could not positively say. At
any rate the pistol did not go off, and no sooner had the car-
riage passed than the individual returned the weapon to his
breast. Mr. Pearson having unfortunately a most serious
impediment in his speech may account, in some measure, for
his not having raised an instant alarm. He admits, also,
that he at first considered the exhibition of the pistol was
out of a frolic, and not seeing any policeman near, considered
the party would be out of sightbefore he could make persons
understand his meaning.
On Monday night, after the removal of Francis from the
home-office to Tothill-fields Bridewell, Mr. Pearson was
shown the pistol taken on the prisoner, when he expressed
his firm belief that it was the same pistol which he had seen
the individual pull out as above described, and yesterday
ner he immediately identified him
morning, on being taken about nine o'Flock to the Bride-
well,priso and shown the
to be the person.

CONDUCT OF THE PRISONER.
Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor of the Tothill-fields
bridewell, to which prison the attempted assassin, John
Francis, was conveyed from the Home-office, after his re-
mand on Monday night, has kindly furnished our reporter
with the following particulars of his conduct while in that
establishment :--On his admission he was, as is customary.
formally asked his name, address, and occupation, when he
said that his name was John Francis, that he lived at No.
105, Great Titchfield-street, Oxford-market, and that he was

" Witness, J. Johns, May 20, 1842."
[The above document is in the possession of Mr. Johns ;
so that any inclination that may be expressed by any parties
to compare the writing of the letter tliat was thrown into
the royal carriage on Sunday, with his witnessed signature,
will be readily acceded to.]
The articles were duly delivered ; and from the represen-
tations made, and 'the unassuming and artless manner of
Francis, not a doubt existed but that his motives were honest
and his story true. He had represented that he was entitled
to considerable property under the will of his grandmother,
which he daily expected to come into possession of, and that
he was only waiting for the signatures of the executors to
establish his claim. Francis °pencil the shop on Wednesday
last, and, in virtue of the agreement, Mr. Johns, jun., waited
upon him for the instalment agreed upon on the delivery of
the goods, when the former said he expected the executors
to call upon the following day, at noon, when the necessary
forms of his grandmother's will would be complied with,
which would put him in possession of several thousand
pounds, and that he would then pay down the whole amount.
Accordingly Mr. Johns and another person called at the ap-
pointed hour, when Francis told them that the obstacles that
had hitherto prevented the will being properly signed, still
stood in the way, and that he was unable to discharge the
whole of the debt according to promise; " but," added he,
rather than you should lay out of your money, I will borrow
£lO of the old man (meaning his father), which I will pay
you."
On making further inquiries, it appeared that no money
whatever had been left him, nor had he any expectations ;
and as to getting £lO from his father, it was an entire and
palpable untruth, being at enmity with each other, and the
father totally ignorant of his having taken the shop, or that
any one could be found to trust him with the stock.
The whole of the fittings have been seized by the landlord
for rent.
The statement which has appeared that Francis was recently
employed at the English Opera House is destitute of founda-
tion, although several persons engaged there knew him
perfectly well, and never saw him exhibit anything of a
vicious or political feeling.

THE Irswicn ELECTION.—The nomination took place
yesterday (Thursday), and the polling was fixed for this
morning.

On Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, a respectably-
dressed man, who appeared to be between thirty and forty
years of age, was observed by several persons to get upon
one of the seats on the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge, and
gaze upon the river. He then took his hat off and put it
down on the stone; in a moment after a voice was heard to
say, " Good bye to you all, I am off," and the man imme-
diately threw himself into the Thames between the second
and third arch, and was drowned.
INSTRUMENT FOR BRANDING DESERTERS.—A circular
has been issued from the Horse Guards, recommending that
the marking of deserters shall hereafter be conducted on an
uniform system throughout the army, and directing atten-
tion to an instrument recently invented. This instrument,
which is of brass, is shaped at the end into the form of the
letter D, from the outline of which is protruded, by means of
a spring, a series of needle points, which are regulated by a
screw at the end, and by turning which their length may be
increased or diminished. By pulling back this nut, after the
points are regulated, they recede into the box, when the in-
strument may be considered charged. A slight pressure on
a small brass lever delivers the needle points, inflicting a
puncture on the skin the exact shape of the instrument.
These punctures, on being rubbed with a marking fluid,
leave an indelible D upon the arm or hand of the deserter.

CONFLICT BETWEEN' THE SOLDIERY AND BLACKS OF
CUBA.—DEATH OF FIFTY NEGROES.—The Jamaica Dis-
patch of April 1 states, that a conflict between the sohliery
and the black peasantry had taken place in Cuba, in which
fifty of the latter bad been killed. It appears that a number
of runaway negroes had established themselves among a range
of hills, about fifteen or twenty miles from St. J ago de Cuba,
where they formed a settlement somewhat similar to that
formed among the backwoods of Trelawney, near Dronailly,
some years ago. It would appear that a knowledge of the
existence of this community had not been known until within
a short period since, when the authorities directed an attack
upon them by the military, which ended in the result as
stated above. The remainder of the fugitives dispersed, and
from the communications which they had formed among the
labourers upon the various estates, and the corresponding
symptoms which were manifested by them, it was strongly
apprehended that a general rising would ensue. Considerable
alarm had, in consequence, been excited, and all the inhabi-
tants are represented as being on the qui vire; and the
restrictions imposed upon black and coloured persons, but
more particularly those from the island of Jamaica, were
more stringent than formerly.

A NARROW ESCAPE.—We learn from the Montpellier
Journal, that on Saturday last, a young Savoyard, sent by
his master from Cette to Frontignan with his box, blacking,
and brushes, to polish the boots and shoes of such of the in-
habitants as wished to be smart on Sunday, overcome by
sleep on his way, laid himself down on the railraid between
the rails. About ten o'clock a train of waggons with goods
came along. The men in charge saw that something was in
the way, and stopped the action of the locomotive, but not
in time to prevent the impetus from carrying the engine, its
tender, and four or five of the waggons, over the poor boy.
When the train stopped, the men hastened down in great
alarm, not doubting that the lad was crushed to atoms; but
on drawing him out they found that, although the box was
broken, the young Savoyard had not even awoke from his
sleep. He was taken to the station at Frontignan, and ex-
amined by a surgeon, who could discover no other injury on
the boy's person than some grazings on his legs, which were
of no consequence. On Sunday morning he was at his usual
station in the market-place at Cette, with a new box, actively
employed as if nothing had happened to him. He owed his
miraculous escape to his having laid himself down in a hollow
in the middle of the road of just sufficient depth to allow the
engines and vehicles to pass over without touching his
body. The slight hurts on his legs were from the wheels.—
Galignani's Messenger.
ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE IN TRIPOLI.—The
British Consul-General, Colonel Warrington, in his late visit
to the Gulf of Sidonia, to confer with the Arab chiefs as to
the abolition of the slave trade, met with every possible suc-
cess, so far as promises may be relied upon; but these were
in some instances, conditional ones. The Arabs complain
bitterly of the Pacha of Tripoli, and profess themselves
ready and willing to enact the most rigorous laws against
slave dealing, and carry out the views of the British govern-
ment, provided the latter relieved them from the Ottoman
rule, or rather intercede with the Sultan that one of their
own chiefs be named governor of Tripoli. Indeed, on this
condition alone will they renew their connexion with Tripoli ;
and Colonel Warrington, who, with the officers of the locust,
explored some fifty miles inland, reports the country to be
rich in gold-dust, ivory, and other equally costly articles. The
Arabs the willing to submit to a heavy annual tribute to be
relieved from the Ottoman rule. It is stated that the Arab
chiefs delivered a petition in duplicate to this effect to Col.
Warrington, requesting him to forward one copy to the
British 'government, and another to the Sultan • and a know-
ledge of these proceedings has so incensed Askur Ali, the
Turkish despot governing at Tripoli, that he has had torn
down the printed appeals which the Consul caused to be
posted up, touching the abolition of slavery. Not content
with this, he has thrown into prison and inflicted the basti-
nado on an old Arab for having been seen in conversation
with a son of the Consul.—Malta paper.

A FEARFUL RIDE.—The Ithaca and Owega Railroad, as
it comes into this village, descends in less than half a mile
nearly 500 feet by means of two inclined planes. The cars
on their arrival at the upper engine-house are detached from
the locomotive and permitted to descend to the lower engine-
house under the control of breaks. From the lower engine-
house, which is at the top of the first inclined plane, the pas-
sengers are brought to this village by stage. This is done
because of the great steepness of the lower inclined plane ;
it descends 450 feet in the distance of 1750, or, nearly at an
angle of 45 degrees to the horizon. No person of sane mind
would venture his neck by going down this inclined plane,
as in case of the car becoming detached in descending, it
would inevitably be dashed to pieces. On Saturday last the
car, containing 11 passengers, was detached as usual at the
upper engine-house, but it was found that the break did not
operate, and that the car was hastening with constantly acce-
lerated rapidity toward the brink of the lower inclined plane.
The forward breakman leaped from the car for the purpose
of throwing it off the track by means of a beam, but he
stumbled and failed in his object. The other breaksman sat
at his post like a hero, calling to the passengers to jump and
save themselves. On went the car with dreadful rapidity,
and one by one the passengers threw themselves out. The
Hon. Amassa Dana leaped from the car as it passed through
the lower engine-house, and there also the breakman sprang
for his life. One man only was unable to escape before the
car, which was already outstripping the wind, made a plunge
down the lower plane. The whole length of this was tra-
versed almost in an instant. About 100 feet from the bot-
tom the car left the track, dashing to pieces the iron wheels
on which the engine-rope plays, and splintering the beams
which bound the tracks together, until it reached the foot
of the plane, where it was dashed into a thousand frag-
ments. One of the car wheels was shivered to pieces, the
heavy iron axletree broken, and scarcely any one piece of
the body left entire. We saw the wreck, and if a bomb-
shell had burst in the car it could not have more completely
demolished it. In the midst of the fragments the man who
descended with the car was found, his arm broken above and
below the elbow, and his head severely fractured. Medical
assistance was at once rendered, and there is some hope of
his recovery. During the delirium occasioned by the blow,
the wounded man kept constantly repeating words as if en-
deavouring to stop a team of horses. Judge Dana was but
slightly hurt, although several of the passengers who sprang
from the car were severely but not dangerously injured. 2—

The thistle is a biennial plant, and consequently, if the
seed of every thistle on a farm were to be kept from ripen-
ing for two years, the whole race would be eradicated. It
would pay well, therefore, in pastures to employ an old man
and a boy, during the month of June, one to cut off the
thistles, just below the crown of the root, and the other to
place a table-spoonful of common salt on the root, which is
thus destroyed at one operation, before the seed has been
ripened or scattered abroad. If the same expense were ge-
nerally incurred in catching thistles, the mischief of which
plant is almost incalculable, as in catching moles, which dO
probably no more mischief than is balanced by their useful-
ness, thistles would soon be as scarce as moles. To effect
this, however, there must be no thistles left in the hedge-
rows, or on roadsides, to scatter their baneful seed over the
neighbouring land.
