The cable correspondent OF the
View York HcraH furnishes the fol
lowing particulars:
PARIS, June AM.
The .H0Rtie@ publishes an official
account Of the firing at the imperial
carriage, in which the Gar Of Russia
and Napoleon were seated, and the
attempted assassination OF the Car.
The statement, which IS very short,
confirms the report which ! trans
mjJted yesterday evening. y
It is stated in the HoaitaHr that
the bell arJcE the head OF the horse
which carried one Of the imperial
grooms in waiting, was riding at the
door Of the carriage, and that the
weapon burst.
The people in the crowd standing
near the scene ofthc attempt arrested
the assassin. and thero.ice interiered
t0saye his life, which was threatened
by the enraged p0pulate,
The man says his name is Berc-
gouski, and that he is a native Of
NoIhyuia.
lie Ur0H confirms the statement
that the pistol burst, and says the
assassin is a Polish mechanic, and
that he purchased double barrelled
pistol in the city On Wednesday,
June 9Th.
The newspaper also states that his
motive appears to have originated
from personal hatred to tie Gar,

Confederate Cotton Bonds in England.

SubjOined is question of considerable
importance in its bearing on the Anglo
Confederate cotton loan, with the opinion
thereon of Sir r. 2. Collier, the late Soil
citor General Observation-Disclosures or not
merchants and others, on being sued in
England by the Government of the United
States for property or money held by them
at the termination of the war belonging to
the Southern States, may not successfully
plead the Confederate seven per cent. cot
ton bonds as set-off to the extent of the
amount that each defendant may hold Of
them ?"
"Opinion-I am glad of the 1rinion that
defendants who may be holders Of Confed-
crate cotton bonds are entitled to set up O
counter claim against the United States
Government in respect to these bonds
This counter claim will be founded on the
principle that if the United States assert in
our courts claims accruing to them through
their succession to the property and rights
OF tho late Confederate Government, they
arc bound by the liabilities of that Gov
ernment. Should the United States Gov
eminent bring actions of debt, think that
the holders of cotton bonds may plead
them as Il sot-of. It may be necessary to
resort to IN equitable plea, or possibly
to the protection of q court of equity
The equitable case of the bondholders will
be strengthened 10y the fact that the United
States Government have possessed them
selves Of the cotton set apart as the secu-
rity for the payment of the bonds"

Address to the People of Maryland.

A committee of Conservative members of
the Maryland Legislature, consisting of five
one the part of the Senate and eight on
the part of the House, have issued an adj
dress to the people of Maryland, relative
to the proposed constitutional convention.
Abiding to the convention bill passed by
the Legislature, they state that ga tran
sient glance at its provisions, and recur-
renee to the inconvenience of its operation
upon very large number of the good peo-
OF the State, are sufficient to demonstrate
how incompatible it is, both in design and
effect, with the recognized object of q FREQ
representative government. They there
fore recommend the adoption of appr0-
pirate and immediate measures in every
county in the State and in the city of Bal
timore-in their several election precincts
to have the people assembled in peaceful
primary meetings, with view to the selec-
ton of candidates to the convention. Tho
utmost care and consideration should be
had in the choice of suitable persons
Personal and partisan partialities should
be disregarded, and none should be chosen
as candidates for the convention but per-
sons of experience, wisdom and virtue,
who challenge the respect and confidence
of all. "

PensiOning Newspapers,

According to an act of Congress the Clerk
of the House of Representatives is empow-
cred to authorize two newspapers, in each
of the excluded States, to publish the Uni
ted States laws and do the official advertis-
ing for the Government. Good prices are
paid for this work, and the weaker class of
newspapers struggle for it as if it were the
journalistic elixir of life. Mr. Mcpherson.
the House Clerk, has awarded this patron
age to papers in nearly all of the Southern
States, and we find that the fortunate ones
arc al of the extreme Radical type, and
nearly all of them sickly concerns, which
could not long survive without food from
some unusual quarter.
1t seems Gus that if the Radicals are de-
termined to pension the few papers in tho
South which are engaged in fomenting dis
turbances and keeping alive political pas
sion and hatred, it would be better to make
a direct money appropriation. = K
They might as well be published in KAN
schatka as in the journals selected, so far
as their presentation to the Southern peo-
pie is concerned. The said journals have
no circulation that is worthy of the name,
and the few copies that they print are main
ly sent to admiring friends in the North
1t would be a better plan to keep them
alive by rations from the Freedmen Bu-

The Crops in Georgetown District.

The heavy rains have been severely felt
in all parts of the country, and have mate
rally interfered with planting arrange
ments. This has been peculiarly the case
in those sections watered by the largo
rivers, aud particularly among the rice
planters. The Georgetown Times says ::
1.-THE whole country east and west has been
flooded, and our rice country is now suffer
ing from the effects of the deluges of rain
in the up country. We understand there
are large freshets on the Pee Dee, Wacca-
NAV, Black and Santee rivers, materially
with the labors of the planters,
both in the preparation of til cir lands as
well as postponing their planting, which
usually commences about this time. We
trust this is not preliminary to o drought
this summer, for with good season we
might reasonably hope for brighter pros
poets, as there appears to be less difficulty
in organizing the plantations.
