I knew for a fact that no such attempt bad been made, although for two days past tho authorities bad been on the look out for a " dangerous" man who bad arrived from England. The departure of DI. Ledru Bonin for London, affboughl i an incident of a trivial nature, was stillicie t to arouse the suspicions of _the_s_biorseyed agents . of the Prefecture. , They believed that he vas cognizant of some coming event with which he did not wish to be e tangled. and they took their precautions_a c— cordingly. The London police forwarded in formation that a man had quitted the English metropolis with the intention of assassinating the emperor. Ile entered Paris and remained here for two or three days-without detection. Friday evening it wag 'reported that aniarran merli; bls , description bad passed-the night with - 011 e sountireitithe Biittee des_Moulins quarter.? He . was immediately arrested, and forwarded to Mazes. M. Bernier, the ',Tugs d'lnstruction; who has been so roughly handled by certain portions of the; press, with re spect to the . supposed ccomplot--de dared to be unfounded, except in his own imagination, but -which -I have long since told you really does exist—proceeded to in- . terrogate tbeprisoner. He ts a deserter from the beventh infantry, only twenty-two years of age, - named Beauri. On being searched there was c found in his possession a six-bar reled revolvei, loaded; a letter, bearing the London post mark, signed Gustave Flotireni, containing minute directions, and 100 francs, which Beauri had received the, same morning to facilitate his -escape hr the event of his having been successful. In consequence of his revelaticius_the_police_at_once _arrested three persons in the neighborhood of the Boulevard du Prince Eugene. At the house of one of them, a large case, con taining cartridges and bombs, was dis covered, together with' bottles filled with an explosive substance, supposed to be picrate of potassium, and a receipt for making picrate concealed with other papers in two busts of Lamartine and Garibaldi. At Belle -ville ttie police attempted - to - arrest another in - Alividual,:who shouted: .‘-f Helpl-brothereithey arrest a republican!" and the agents were im mediately surrounded by roughs who suc ceeded in rescuing the prisoner. - In all there have been about forty captures effected; amongst them are several of the chiefs of the Sociite Internationale. A conductor Of the Northern ItAilway has been arrested, eharged -with-having accepted - for transmission froni— . Belginni a large quantity of revolvers ordered from a gunsmith at Liege by French republi can refugees. It is believed; however, that the ronductor is - not - implicated - in the plot: The Emperorand the Beporters. [ - Paris Coe. of the Journal do Harrej —Lunderstand that. the „Emperor this week summoned M. Pietri to his cabinet and or dered him to get an exact report, taken . -:in_ short-hand, - of everything said at the public meetings during the plebncitary period. The Prefect of Police next day sent for-M. La --gache, the director of reporters at the Legis lative hody,and, after mentioning the Empe ror's desire, begged--himsto-convolm-all-his men, so asto come to an understanding with them, and to add'one or two More, when ne cessary, to accompany the Commissary of Police at each meeting. M. Lagache did not. like 1 - o show any I -repugnance,— but • would not venture to make such a proposal from himself to his subordinates ; so it was decided that a meeting should be called, and that the appli cation should be addressed to them as coming' from the Minister of thp Interior. All the gentlemen convoked met at the_ Legislative Chamber, where the Chef da Cabinet of M. Chevandier de Valdrome was in waiting. On his telling them what they were wanted to do, he met with unanimous refusal. They in trenched themselves behind their quality of stenographers in the Chamber, and declared that they could not, be under the superin tendence of the Prefect of Police. All re monstrances were found unavailing, and so the matter rests, The Plot of 1852--The Pelnce.President First in Danger, (From the Parte Steele, MY Yesterday's plot reminds us of a forgotten incident of the debut of the present ripme. In the autumn of 1852 the President of the Repub lic went on a provincial tour to give the rustics an opportunity .. of showing their imperialist feeling. The reception bad been - so far chilly, when, suddenly, the telegraph apprised the country that an infernal machine had been discovered at Marseilles, and that the "Savior cif Society" had been providentially saved by the vigilance of the police. The announce ment prodnced a good impression. The machine was minutely described. The timid began once more to tremble. _The Presiden tial tour was henceforth triumphant. The police announced the arrest of the chief cul prit and an individual named Gaillard. Ho was formally , examined and it was given out ;bat he would shortly be brought to trial. The Presidential tour came tort close. The Senate ',reclaimed the President " Emperor," the people ratified the nomination by eight mil ions of voted, and the plot vanished into thin air. The infernal machine man, the conspire or and his acComplices, disappeared and have never been beard of since. , Amromume OIL FIRE.

There is throughout., it a curious mixture of religion, politics, Fenian: ism, fashionable society; - Romanist intrigue ,and telling aphorisms. Nothing of the ori ginal -verve of Mr. Disra.eli's. style has been lost, by the lapse of years. Fresh as " Coningsby," vigorous as " Vivian Grey " tender as " Henrietta Temple," en thralling as " Tancred;"ktimorons. as any of his former works, "Lothair," apart .from the interest attaching to it on account of the posi tion of its author, Would be the literary suc cess of the season. In one of its chapters Lo their is represented-as returning home, musing upon a .lady, while considerable speculation religion,the churches, the solar system, the cosniical 'order, the purpose of creation, and the destiny of matt was maintained" in his progress to his hotel. The Observer says : "Lon,quin post intervallum, the author of Coningsby' and ' Vivian Grey' has launched another bark upon the crowded waters of fiction, Stories were current as to Its pelitical character, and some of Mr. .etemporary legislators must have telt not a little nervous when it was boldly an nounced that they were to form the central group in a picture which was sure to be tell ing and graphic. But politics—or at all events home politics—MeDisraeli altogether abjured.- Neither by any stretch can the story be held to have an autobiographical significance, as some of the prognosticators would have had us believe. Lothair' is a medley—with hardly - any plot to speak of—of hunt ton, Feniauism, Jesuitism, Garibaldi-ism, 'Mary Anne,! and the Asian_Mystery, which comes-to-the front triumphantly in the third volume. As a story it can hardly be said. to take shape at all. As a series of brilliantsketelies of character, with occasional digressions into abstract and specu lative topics; Lothair' need not fear com parison with the most sparkling of its author's previous works."

The Mauch Chunk Goat Gazette says: There was transported last week over both railroads and canal 111,691 tons, against 123,- 926 17 tons last week—a decrease of 12,235 17 tons.

In a few cases orders have been countermanded. • The' only real demand - comes froni turnaces and manufactories.
