Occupatfon of soissons.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The army of the Duke of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, twenty-five thousand
strong. entered the city of Scissors on Sunday.
Fifty thousand rounds of ammunition were
found.
The bombardment lasted only four days, as
has been reported and there is much surprise
expressed that no more vigorous defense was
made. 1t is said the people of the city insisted
on capituation. At Lille it is thought the sur
render was due to treachery, and was brought
about by Bonapartists, who are known to be
scheming with their allies in the island of
Jersey and in London.
The Plan of the Bonapartists
is to place the Prince Imperial on the throne,
with the Empress Eugenie as regent.

Police, walking through 1hirtieth street. about Y.
NJ yesterday, upon nearing Sixth avenue, saw
man meandering toward him with most unsteady
feet whose torn and blood-staned clothing and be-

hold of the man and asked him his name, but his
mumbled and incoherent reply could not be un-
deTstoOd and he accordingly took his prisoner to
the Jefferson Market Police Court Here the
drunken man was placed in what is known as the
"cage," where, on one of its wooden
benches, he was left to repose during recess in the
session of the Court. At O'Clock the drunkard
had sufficiently recovered his senses to be brought
before Justice Fowler The officer stated the facts
OF the arrest and said that at the time he made the
arrest the prisoner was in immediate danger of fall
ing through cellar Of great depth. The prisoner
seemed to resent this iusinuaton as to his
physical falbility, and said in loud bone Of voice
that his name was Daniel Mcfarland, and that he
had escaped greater dangers than the one that
threatened him in falling down a cellar. Placing
mis- hand in his coat pocket after moments search
he held up package OF letters, saying that he was
the man who shot Albert ID. Richardson, and that
there was the proof of his wifes inhdety Showing
some etters).
The examination of the prisoner was adjourned
until O'Clock this morning, in the meanwhile to be
incarcerated in cell of the court prison.
