.jammed with people to-day. Nothing has

nOrs assault.
LIVERPOOL, March l.-Arrived - Rosa
Bonheur. from New Orleans.
LONDON, March l.-O'Conner scaled an
iron railing ten feet in height, which sur
rounded the court yard of Buckingham pal
ace. When he approached the carriage of
the Queen. he first saw Lady Churchill
lady in waiting). who was riding with her
majesty. and was about to assault her, but
he soon discovered his mistake and turned
upon the Queen. Her majesty's groom,
John Brown, who was riding behind her
carriage, upon witnessing the action of
O'Conner, leaped from his horse and ar
rested and disarncd the assailant.
The prisoner was handed over to the au-
thOrites, and will be brought to Bow street
station this morning, where preliminary
examination will be held.
At the hearing of OConner the court and
prisoner is a pleasant, boyish looking fel-
low. and his manner to-day was quite un-
assuming. Answering the magistrate, he
said his full name was Arthur OCOnner;
was born in England; his father is a native
of ireland, and his grandfather, Fergus
| O'Conner, was leader in the Carlist move
| ment.
The statement of witnesses verify the
| previous narrative OF events. Two papers
| were found ON the prisoner-oDe pardOning
! all Fenian convicts, and the other asking, in
! advance of crime or conviction, cOmmuta-
ton from hanging to shooting.
| One OF the policemen into whose custody
| O'Connor was delivered swore that the
| prisoner said the reason he had not loaded
the pistol was because it was broken; that
he repeatedly exclaimed: II wish to God
| had succeeded ~ that he avowed that
he intended to present the petition for
| Fenian amesty to the Queen, in st. Pauls
| Cathedral, on Tuesday, when she was sur
| rounded by her ministers: that he then had
pen and ink ready for her to sign the dOcu-
| ment with, and that he would have made
the attempt, but the crowd was so great he
| could not get near her majesty.
| The prisoner, when arrested, had two
! papers, in substance as follows:
Il. Victoria, Queen by the grace of God,
make the following declaration:
WHEREAS, There are now confined in
various prisons throughout the kingdom of
Great Britain numbers Of lrishmen known
as celebrated Fenians;
Whereas, They were imprisoned with
my sanction, having rebelled and conspired
| against the crown and to weaken and de.
| strOy my power;
Whereas, Sympathizers with these men
have petitioned for their pardon, and. not
withstanding, they are still unlberated,
now, l, Victoria, Queen, ETC., do grant full
pardon to each and every fenlan prisoner
Internationally; and notwithstanding this.
| my agreement, is made under the fear OF
| nv lite will not depart theretrOm.D
This document is dated February ~, lo7- q.
The other document is a Communication In
advance of punishment of the prisoner for
his present act from hanging to shooting,
and is dated February Y, 1872.
At the conclusion of the examination the
prisoner was committed for trial at the
| asszes, and was taken back to prison under
| a strong escort.
1t is evident that the papers found on the
| prisoner are his own work. and the impress
sion of all that heard them read at the trial
is that they are the product of diseased
| mind.
The Queen left Buckingham Palace to-day
| for Windsor Castle.
| On her arrival at Windsor she was met
| by almost the entire population of the place
| with the warmest demonstration of loyalty
| and affection.
