The London Times, writing editorially and osten
siby from exclusive information, asserts that the
rumored conspiracy against the Emperor's life was
really founded on fact. Some weeks ago, as theEm-
perOr and Empress were on their way to the Hippo
drome plot was laid for intercepting the cortege
One Of the horses in the carriage preceding that of
the Emperor was to have been stabbed, and in the
confusion that was expected to follow, more de-
cisive blow to have been struck This plot mis-
carried at the very moment of its execution for on
the occurrence of the stoppage in front the imperial
carriage was driven rapidly on, and the Emperor
escaped molestation 2; 81, Many persons supposed
ed, and are said to have been secretly sent
out Of the country. It was on account Of having
moved from the Ministry Of Police, and his Office
abolished. Suspicious were entertained that other
members of the secret society to which the alleged
conspirators belonged, would renew their attempt,
and close but quiet watch kept on their move
ments. At the door Of the opera, the other night,
several OF them were recognized pressing near the
person of Napoleon, when the police dexterously
raised cry rolemS-thieves! and arrested their

were armed with pistol and poignard, and doubtless
meant mischief The public records merely an

prisoners concerned in this affair will shortly COM

The Progres Industrial de Lyons, Of July Sd,

seems analogous TO that which has lately injured
the vines, but happily it is not universal, and in
many quarters, the rearing of the worm was in ad.
vance OF the first manifestation of the disease. The
commercial circulars of the Lyons silk merchants
say probable that the present scarcity and high
price of thrown silk will be maintained for some
time, but rise of any duration is unlikely.

MINISTERIAL CRIsIS-THREATENED RESIGNATION
OF GENERAL LERsUNDI, ETC.
Our accounts from Madrid are OF the 4th inst.
1t appears that, in the last cabinet council, the
Queen demanded that Marshal Narvaez should be
enjoined to repair to Vienna, and that the moment
he showed the least readiness to obey he should be
recalled. The majority of the council decided that
her Majesty's desire should be attended to; but M.
Moyano, the new Minister of Public Works, did not
conceal his personal opinion on the subject, and was
said to have declared TO his colleagues that his poll
tical antecedents and his friendship for Marshal Mar
vaez would not allow him TO concur in snch resoln
tion. Hence fresh rmors of ministerial crisis got
into circulation.
1t was said that General Lcsurdini had threatened
to resign.

of June 80, and also appears in the London papers,:
