ed through vast crowds to ham Palace, with
out any evident apprehension Of renewal Of the at
tack from some other quarter and the frequency
with which both her Majesty aud Prince Albert
have openly and fearessly made their appearance at
operas races and other places Of public resort are
alike extraordinary. The gunmaker, called in TO
examine the pistols, could not swear on inspecting
them, that they had been loaded with ball. The
balls which they supposed to contain have not
been discovered. Some bullets said to have
been found near the spot but they were fatteLeS
on both sides-picked out OF earth in which they
were imbedded, after the superintendent gravel
had been removed and sfted-and, on being recast,
they proved TO be too large for admission into the
deadly weapons. The mark on the wall asserted to
have been made by the bullet which had been fired,
and which was so accurately described by one of
the London spinning jennies, to be the fifteenth
brick from the top and the twenty th from the bot
tom, is common to nearly all the bricks on the line
The names Ernest, Oxonian," sc. found at the

be nothing more than the titles given to
in hotel where he had been service, unless they
were handed to him with a sinister motive by those
with whom he is in collision. But the most susp i-
cious circumstance OF all that we have heard mar
rated in reference to the attack that the rHles of
alleged secret society, TO which he is said to be-
long, and under which, from the crimson bows found
with them at his lodgings, he was constituted cap
tain IN the order, were written on paper which
bears the government water mark, and which, being
manufactured exclusively for the purposes OF Down
ing street. must either have been stolen or furnish
ed to him from some Of the Offices there. This is
proof positive almost that the government know
more about the matter than they are willing to &C
nswedge and, in order to clear them, if this poor
simpeton cannot be acquitted on the ground of in
sanity, he WILL of course, in the nature of wing mi
nisteriaI morality, have to be sacrificed.

monomania for nOtOriety, however infamous, and,
therefore, not worth punishment and scarcely worth
prosecution. Intelligence Of the attack was Instant
ly despatched officially to the colonies and all foreign
countries, most probably with the addition that the
tories urged him-that the tories set him on. We
have O'Connell, also, and his myrmidons, darkly
limiting their vile calumnies, and some portions Of
the popsh press in Ireland openly proclaimng that
the whole affair has emanated from the tories and
the King of Hanover. sob shame, where is thy

A mystery hangs over the occurrence which it
will take some time to clear up. We shall rejoice
when the question, "Who are the traitors Z" shall
be decisively answered. We shall still more
joice it, we do incline to believe, the nation has
been agitated only by whig plot, devised to excite
the peoples sympathies for the Queen, order that
her ministers might take dvantage Of the period to
run the hazard Of general election, or to excuse
her Maestys apparent too blind attachment to their
counseIs. Since the above was written, we find it
stated even in the London ministerial papers, that
three quarters Of hour before the attack was
made, Mr. Fox Maule the solicitor to the treasury,
called at the Office of the police commissioners, and
inquired il they had received information Of any at

Things much the same here, in many re poets,
in your country-especially in matters of love,
reading the above. All is sheer humbug. The
greatest pretenders get on the best. Success to

tain and the United States. The Queen continues to
attend the chapel r.yal, races, operas, balls and
fetes without any apparent apprehension OF another
attempt on her life. She must either be aware that
Oxfords pistols were not loaded with ball, or must
have great confidence in the love of her people

Last Sunday, yesterday week, was great day in
the religious circles of Britain, having been APP
pointed for public thank sgivng in the churches to
Almighty God for having preserved the life Of the
Queen. The form of prayer. used on the occasion,
is stated, is to be repeated for thirty days. at
morning and evening service, after the general

England and Wales, and the town OF Berwck-upon-
