THE cULPRr BEAURY.
The Patrie has the subjoined particulars :--snThe
principal agent Of the plot, the Individual entrusted
with the execution of the crime, is young man of
twenty-five, bachelor Of letters, and belonging,
report says, to good family. After having for some
time led dissipated life, and undergone cond en-
naton he enlisted in the army, and then deserted.
He is the instrument OF the Revolutionary Commit

THE BOMBS.
The following description of the bombs which
have been seized, is curious Zach one is divided
perpendiculary into two halves which, when united
form figure somewhat resembling a thick cake
with hole in the centre, and bound together by
q strong screw. The exterior diameter is FIVE
and quarter inches, and the thickness Of the
metal is about three-eighths Of an inch.
The upper and lower cavities are ribbed inside
and peirced with eighteen holes, to which can

which they are each capable Of containing is
snfficient to spread destruction in q circle
of at least thirty yards around, and the
force with which the fragments would be
discharged is sufficient to kill instantaneousy, If the
person was struck on the head chest, or stomach,
and to break limb If it hit elsewhere. The iron Is
of excellent quality and of the third fusion, that is
to say, casting from metal already previously re.

but not fnsher, for the final part OF the work. In

understanding the working of metals.
The man who had these bombs In his keeping Is
named Roussel. 1t was on Friday night that the
police came to arrest him. Immediately on finding
himself in the hands Of the agents he began to cry
out "Help Help! They are arrestng all the Re-
publicans!" At these cries a considerable number
ef persons ran up and threw themselves upon the
policemen who, notwithstanding their energetic
efforts, were obliged to yield, and the prisoner took
fight.
