DIABoLrcAL REBEL SCHEME.

New York, May 1G.-The Bermuda Advo-
cate OF the 26th, contains report Of the pre-
liminary examination of the plot to introduce
yellow fever into our Northern cities. The
examination has resulted in the committal of
o resident of the island named Swan, on a
charge of having conspired with DR.. Black
burn to take charge Of certain trunks contain
ing infected clothing, for the purpose ofhay-
ing them forwarded to New York, Philadel-
phia, and other cities, with the object of in
Producing yellow fever. Blackburn, whose
hailing points were Halifax Quebec and the
Clifton House, Niagara Falls, Canada side,
made liberal promises to Swan, provided the
contract was fairly carried out The funds
were to-be supplied freely from the Confeder-
ate exchequer, and meanwhile Blackburn him
self was to retire to Halifax and watch the pro-
gress of events until the opening of Spring,
when the season would probably be more "a
vorable to the spread Of the imported disease.
