Moral Aspect OF Reputation.

AN ASSAULT Upon QUEEN VICTORIA. The
cable brings the somewhat startling announce
ment of what is termed an attempt TO assass-
pate Queen Victoria, last Thursday evening, on
her return to Buckingham Palace from drive.
The would-be assassin is described as youth
of nineteen or twenty years, who rushed mp to
her carriage, and presenting pistol, which
afterwards proved unloaded, demanded the re-
lease of certain Fenian prisoners.
He was Immediately arrested by attendants
The incident was perhaps more shocking than
significant Following so soon after the grand
popular demonstration of Tuesday last, no such
assault could have been suggested by sane
mind or attempted under the stimulus of ordi-
nary enthusiasm.
