| The Foreign News.
The news brought by the Britannia to Boston on
Saturday, and which we published yesterday morn
ing at a very early hour, is highly important.
The account of the attempt to assassinate the
Queen is most singular, and we can hardly imagine
that any sane person could act as the miserable
wretch, Francis, is represented to have done. The
attempted assassination is the remarkable, in
asmuch as at the present time Queen Victoria is not
only the most popular sovereign in Europe, but more
so probably than any one who ever sat on the
English throne.
| The passage of the Income Tax and Tariff Bills
| through the House Of Commons in the short space
of three weeks, should serve as lesson to our sa-
| pient Legislators in Washington. They will both,
doubtless, pass the Lords without any material
alteration.
Judging from the tone of-the Foreign Minister,
England will interfere to prevent Texas from invad
ing Mexico.
The news from India isl again unpleasant. The
strong fortress of Ghuznee has fallen, and the Brit
isl troops therein surrendered to Akbar Khan, and
were to be marched to Cabul. Butt on the other
hand the Khybcr Pass has been forced, and bloody
| campaign opened
proved, and the tone of all the rest is healthy.
ASTOUNDING POLICE DEvELopEMENTS.-We un-
derstand that the Mayor has within few days,
made most astounding discovery Of the NAL prac-
tees which has recently been perpetrated under the
present wretched, Inefficient police system.
1t seems that house and store robberies, of all
kinds, to the amount of nearly $4,000 $40, 600,
have recently been perperated-the greater part of
which property has never been returned to the right
full owners, but the contrary, there are strong
suspicious that it has been divided among certain
subordinates OF the department, while many Of the
thieves and burglars permitted to escape thus
| far For several days the Mayor has been secretly
engaged in this investigation, and several police
officers will be suspended, and most probably
will be brought trial. The investigation is still
going on, and the Developments when ripe, will
tonish the community.
This discovery lets into the beauties of the
stool pigeon system, and it really appears from es
tabshed facts, that thefts store breaking, burglary
and incendarsm, have been organized into regu-
lar system of depreciation, conducted by the most
worthless characters, and winked at, ifnot particpa-
ted in, by the inefficient system Of police. We
know more than we tell at present. but the fruit
will soon be ripe But thus much we knows The
honest people of this city much indebted to the
Mayor for his vigilance and sagacity in detecting
one OF the most astounding systems of fraud and
robbery ever conceived All will be out soon.
ANOTHER CAUTIoN-ONCE, TwICE.-We serious.
y, solemnly, and in the most friendly tone, advise
Apologize, the job printer in Ann street, to be care
full how he prints in his Office wicked and malicious
ISLANDERS against The miserable vagabond with
his numerous aeidscs, who writes the libels printed
at Applegate's Office is not worth our notce-he il
only fit to be taken notice of by the governors OF
| Sing Sing. We have emitted Applegate to print
NJ his job Office the most wicked libels for several
weeks, out OF pure charity to his propensities-but
| If he ventures step further, shall teach him a
little morality and proprety in his line of business.
iuttertied has already acknowledged, and apologize
ed to Us, in the presence of Mr. Bell the respectable
auctioneer of Ann street. that he did assist that mi
| SCRABBLE vagabond from Buffalo, until he found out
| that he most infamous scoundrel, and then he
| quit him. If Apologize does not follow the very
proper steps Of Mr.. Butterfied, and quit printing
| in his Office these gross and Infamous libels, we
shall have not only to give Appegate's face, and
heart and history to the mirrcr, but shall insti.
;ute suits against him, as Mr.. Thone, the popular
manager of rhe Chatham, has done-which suits
are already begun for $4,000 damages. So, old
rotten Apple had better be advised, or we shall
roast him. We know what we are about.
