recent acton IN aIIeSung street. PREACHER Hiu
temperance lecturer, and his subsequent determi-
nation to suppress this mode of dispensing the
Gospel, has called down upon him unceasing in
dignation. AN immense meeting was held in
Monument Square yesterday afternoon to give
an expression of public sentiment against the leg
islative acts of his Honor. After the meeting adj
iourned about two thousand persons proceeded IN
a body to his residence, and demanded that he
should resign. To this he objected, and told them
in substance to mind their own business, he would
attend to his Ina card published this morning
he declares his intention to remain in Office. An
other indignation meeting took place IN the Square
this afternoon, but nothing additional or special
grew out of it.
Viewing the whole matter deliberately, am
forced to the conclusion that both the Mayor and
the people have been and are wrong. His Honor
acted hastily in the first place, but without any
tual design of doing harm. He was afterwards
goaded into indiscretion by an excited committee
who waited upon him propounding certain Ques-
tons, to which he replied indiscreetly and without
due reflection. Having thus been entrapped and
placed in a wrong position, being somewhat stub
born, he could not cleverly retract, and hence he
has rendered himself supremely Ridiculous
The people too, or that portion of them engaged
IN the indignation meeting, are nearly on par
with the Mayor. They havemhde mountain out
of mole hill, and mugnifed into Importance
matter which should have sunkinto obscurlty with
its birth. The peculiar material composing the
indignation assembageS, is of uncouth stuff
Half grown ragamufin boys, always ripe for mis-
Chief and rowdieS ready for depredations to con-
siderable extent, composed the indignation meet
ings alluded TO. They are such as have neither
thought nor concern forany benevolent movement.
The Mayor has asserted his right to control munic-
ipal affairs, and means to do so according 10 his
own judgment. The whole affair will blow over
i'll day or two and be forgotten.
There lisa young and beautiful German countess
now in our city, who, am told is making applica-
ton for divorce. According to her own repre-
sentaton, as Pauline would say in the Lady OF
Lyons, it was the Prince she loved AMI not the
man. At the same altar, and the very same hour
in which the nuplials were performed, bath
ed in bushes, pure and virgu-like, she left her
imperial lord, and from that period to the present
has not seen him, though sustaining the honors oI
Countess, her husband having been entitled 10
that distinction. There is considerable mystery
and romance in the history of this singular per-
sonage.
1t now seems that in all PROBABILITY, Walter
Mitchell, Esq. who the democrats supposed would
be their nominee for Governor, is likely to be de-
feated. There a.e powerful elements at work
against him.
The Wings are very quiet. Preparations, how
ever, are making to reorgnnlze the party, which III
due time will be done efiectualy.
The weather continues very pleasant.
Business as usual at this season of the year j.

The REPORTED CONSPIRACY AGAINST NAPOLEON.
The London Times, writing editorially, asserts
that the rumored conspiracy against the Emperor's
life was really founded on fact. Some weeks ago
rs the Emperor and Empress were on Their way to
the hippodrome, plot was laid for intercepting
the cortege. One of the horses in the carriage pre-
ceding that OF the Emperor was to have been stab
bed, and in the confusion that was expected 10
follow, more decisive blow was to have been
struck. This plot miscarried at the very moment
fits execution, for on the occurrence of the stop
page in front, the imperial carriage was driven
rapidly on, and the Emperor escaped moleStation.
Many persons supposed 10 be implicated in this
conspiracy were arrested, and are said to have
been secretly sent out ofthe country. 1t was on
account of having failed to unravel this plot that
NJ. de Maupas was removed from the Ministry of
Police and his office abolished.
Suspicious were entertained that other members
of the secret society to which the alleged conspi-
rators belonged would renew their attempt, and a
close but quiet watch kept on their movements.
AT the door ofthe OPERA the other night several of
them were recognized pressing near the person of
Napoleon, when the police dexterously raised the
cry au pOleurs-thieyesl and arrested their men
without disturbance. The police said nothing
about it butt creptout that the persons arrested
were armed with pistols and poignard, and douTt-
less meant mischief. The public records merely an
nounced Gas stated per last steamer) that several
members of secret societies were arrested in an at
tempt to disturb order ct the opera. The trial OF
