A kina of Monroe Edwards.

A Spaniard is under arrest OF New Orleans
for having swindled several firms in Mex
ican cities out Of large sums, by representing
himself as an accredited merchant from
Spain As the story runs, he reached the
City of Mexico. and at once applied to a
large commercial house, TO know If any let
ters had been received by. mail in which he
was interested. On receiving a negative
answer, he expressed surprise, but trusted
that The next steamer would bring them
And by the next mail, letters arrived, by
which he was recommended 10 credit TO h.
most any amount. These letter, which have
since turned out to be forged, enabled him
TO swindle one house out of $4,000. and
various other houses in Vera Cruz, Montery,
and other cities Of large amounts.

Attempt on the Life Of Benn ett.

The N. Y. Herald, Of Monday morning,
publishes long account of an attempt hav.
ing been made to destroy The life of The pro-
prielor, Mr.. Bennett, about three weeks
since, by means of an Internal machine, or
torpedo, in the shape of box containing
quantity Of explosive powder, pallets Of pa
per and friction matches, SO placed to ignite
when the cover OF the box turned round
The box, it is stated, was carefully directed
TO Mr.. Bennett, and purported to have come
from Senor v. Alcsger, of Cuba, and to con-
tain specimens of native and copper ore from
the Cuba mountains The account is sub
stantiated by the sfidayits of the man who
delivered the box to some unknown. person,
and Of those who were preseut when the box
was opened, after il had been soaked in wa
ter for some hours, the fact ofit containing
powder having been discovered through the
inquisitivenes Of one of The peisons smploy-
ed in the Herald Office, who made an incis-
ion in 1t with knife, when some Of the
powder ran out. We may remark that the
public will very likely think il strange that
such diabolical attempt should have been
kept private for three weeks Err.

1he correspondents Of the English papers,
who wrote from Paris, in The obstnce of
any ianglple news, indulge in conjectuIes as
10 hepFecise day when The empire will be
procloimed, and the particular lormalities by
which twill be preceded. II is surmised
that the debates Of the Senate, whithr IS 10
asst mble on the 4ih Of Nov, will not be
long. There can be no question but that a
ready cut and died proposition will be laid
before il, which the senators, afler decent
delay ofa few days, supposed to be devoted
10 the CAREFUL examination Of the peoples
petitions for the empire, will embody in the
form Of senatits consaltam.

same time vote the notifications in the
Constitution consequent upon the altered

impersl constitution, and thus once more
invest hftR with Dictatorship Then,
again. specuiS,ion is occupied with the
question which OF the three great anniyeIsa-
riies Of the Presidents life, the I'd, the 10Th.
| or the 2Oth day Of December, will BE- liked
upon for the assumption Of the imperial title
Each day has its partisans. Some think
the 10th of December, when Louis Napo.
leon, on the mere strength Of his name, OBJ
tanned five millions Of votes, in spite OF alb
the efforts of a republican executive, the day
most wo,thy to be commemorated.
Others are OF opinion that the less spon-
| taneous, but more numerically imposing de-
monstration OF December 20, 1851, was ths'
crowning triumph OF universal suffrage
But the favorite supposition is, that the 2t
Of December, at once the anniversary OF the
battle Of Austerlitz and the coup dttdt. will
most commend itselfio the Presideut's mind
as day of good omen. And although it
has been objected that the coup dctat ava
kens mournful recollections of strife and
carnage, j. is answered that no blood was
shed on December 2, and that The massacre
of the boulevards did not occur till The 4tt.
There are those who affect 10 be cufious to
know in what form Of words universal suff-
rage will be called upon TO vote lis own ex-
tinction. Such are some of the puerllities
which, now that the nation more and more
loses all political virility, and becomes ac-
customed to its leading strings, stand in the
place Of matter OF state, and engage a GER
tain amount Of languid public attention.
How all these trivial matters will be resoly-
ed no one can know. till the President
CHOICES 10 decide them, He is not in the
habit Of disclosing his intentions long be-
forehand. The decree for convoking the
Senate was sent TO the Moniteur for inser-
;ion at half past 10 O'Clock at night, and all
the previous day people in what is. called
/" the best informed official circles" had been
vehemently asserting that it would not ap-
peer for some time.

The Newburgh Conspiracy.

That there was an attempt. al the close OF
the Revolutionary War, to mutinize the A.
merican army, then at Newburgh, and to es-
tablish government independent Of the peo-
pie, seems to be generally conceded. The
particular persons engaged in that conspira-
cy, however. have never been named in his
tory. II is generally supposed to have origi.
mated among the creditors Of the govern
ment, who, to accomplish their ends, tam
pered with statesmen and with officers Of the
army. Mr.. Samuel Beman, gentleman oI
some literary attainments, has been engaged
for the past two years. in hunting up unpub

HUMAN FAT, CANDLES AND SoAP,--When
the Cemetery Of the Innocents at Paris was re-
moved outside of the barriers, the buried corp
ses which had accumulated to the depth Of 65
feet, were found, TO gleat extent. apparently
converted into fat. The substance Of the skin,
cellular tissue, and tendons, all the soft parts,
and even the bones, had completely dis
appeared, leaving only the fat, which resisting
longest The influence of decay, (oxygen,) re-
NAMED in the form Of margarie acid. This hu-
man fat was employed to the extent Of many
tuns by the soap boilers and tallow chambers
OF Paris, for the manufacture of soap and can
dies. The French are people Of fine senti-
ment, and they certrinly carried the quality to
a acharming point ofreflection in receiving light
from caudes made out Of the bodies Of their
fathers.
