ssay~ The fnll report in the Aastrai>
ian papers OF the attempt to assassin
ate the Duke of E1ingburgh, the Sec
ond son of Queen Victoria, seems to
establish the fact that The affair was
miserable Fenian conspiracy. O'Far-
rcll the assassin, stated in court that
the task of executing the Duke was
sent out and allotted to him, and that
he was not sorry that he had failed.
The home organization, according to
O'FarrelFs story, had designated ten
men in Sydney to draw lots, and the
lot had fallen upon him. This was
some two months before the attempt
was made. On two previous occa,
sions he had planned to execute his
commission, but had been hindered
from doing so, once by the danger Of
shooting also the Earl of Belmore,
who sat by the side of the Duke, and
once, at citizens ball, BY the prob.-
biity Of sacrificing other lives -
O'Farrell expressed regret that it had
fallen TO him TO kill Prince Alfred,
and seemed very well satisfied to be
hung himself and have the Prince
survive. He said that the object of
the Fenian organization was to strike
terror into the English aristocracy,

ing about the independence Of Tres

VIRGINIA..

NOn.Payment Of the state Debt Interest,"
General SLOVENIAN to Take the Matter In
Hand-The Credit of the state to Be Pro-
tected.
RICHMOND July 1, 1858.
The failure OF Virginia to pay the semi annual in
terest on the State debt due to-day has caused q
great depreciation of the stock held here and In
New York and other Northern cities, and the in-
ability has in various instances been placed upon
political grounds. This. however, Is not the case;
but General SLOVENIAN, assuming that the debtors OF
the State have the ability to pay their indebtedness
and will not, has taken the matter In hand with q
view to the payment Of the semiannual interest at
an early day. He will require the various cor
porated companies OF the State, such as railroads
canals, &C.. in which the State has an interest to
pay forthwith their dues, and this, with $780, 900
pay the July interest. For the balance he will re-
qure tho State government to negotiate loan with
New York capitalists which, as district commander,
will be ofclally endorsed by him. Thus he expects
probably by the 1st OF August to pay or the $3.50 000
interest due to-day. The loan will be had he
alleges, without making any increase Of the
state Indebtedness. Many ascribe the non payment
Of the interest to the expense OF the late Consttu-
tonal Convention, which, being only $1%00 00 It will
be seen was not the primary cause The calcula-
tons to pay interest were based upon the estimated
receipts from arrearages Of taxes, amounting to
s3500OO and an income from the license taxes due
have proven erroneous. These resources may yet
come In to the aid OF General Stoneman and help
him through with his laudable scheme to protect
the credit of the State.
