The papers include a report of the proceedings of a special court of inquiry held at Barrackpore on the 6th of February, when several sepoys who were examined expressed their objections to the use of the cartridges. About the same date a sepoy in Lieut. Allen’s company gave information privately of a plot among the sepoys of four regiments at Barrackpore, having for its object the seizure of Fort William, the burning | down of the electric telegraph office, &c., on the pretext of | aa apprehension of being forced to give up their caste and ‘be made Christians.” Major-Gen. Uearsey harangued the brigade with energy, and appears to have anticipated the best results from the new mode of drill, viz: breaking the cartridge with the hand instead of by biting it. The subse- quent disbandment of the 19th Regiment of Native Infantry, stationed at Berhampore, was nevertheless soon found neces- sary. A petition addressed by the men of the 19th to Major- Gen. Hearsey, alleges various threats on the part of Lieut.-Col. Mitchell, as to their fate in case of a refusal to use the cartridges ; but many of their statements are contradicted by

PLOT IN LONDON TO ASSASSINATE THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.

The Moniteur publishes the following official announcement

rence to the Italian conspirators who haye been for some

in refe re : ime in custody :—‘** Lhe police gear past that a plot had been formed in London for an attempt on the life of the Enrperor. Three Italians were ar- rested in Paris, charged with this project, and the arms— wignards, reyolyers, &e.—to be used in the perpetration have een seized. ‘The prisoners confessed their crime, and revealed the names of their accomplices. The Government saspended proceedings, in order that the eclat of the investigation might not be taken as intended to influence the result of the elections. The proceedings have now been resumed, and the Judge d’In- struction has handed over all the persons arrested and their accomplices to the Chamber of Accusation. Their names are : Tibaldi, Bartglotti, Grilli (alias Saro), Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, Mazarenti and Campanella.”

Three Italian assassins, of the smallest dimensions, but with names of the most dramatic propriety, have been arrested, and sent up for trial, on the charge of a conspiracy to take the life of the Emperor, and, unable, it is said, to resist the proofs brought against them, have confessed their meditated crime. So far as they are concerned, ibaldi, Bartolotti, and Grilli will acquire a greater notoriety, and possibly in some well-con- ducted prison a more respectable existence, than they have hitherto achieved. But itis added that this metropolis has been the nest selected for hatching the conspiracy, and that Mazzin1,

ing been detected to be accomplices, will ncluded in the trial. With regard to the Emperor Napo [ll., we need scarcely repeat what we have so often expressed. ‘We should regard his assassination not only as a base act, repugnant to all the nobler feelings of humanity, but as a national calamity, not only to France, but to this country. That strong will, that determined purpose, that taciturn tact, are still necessary to restrain a volatile nation, which is only now learning that the glory of a people consists as much or more in commercial en- terprises as in bloody triumphs. The first element of al! com- mercial prosperity is a strong Government. Better, of course, we say, here in England, if it be a constitutional Government ; but still to be excused, when we consider the state in which France was between 1848 aud 1852, if unconstitutional, so it be strong. We may rejoice under the shade of our tree of liberty without wishing to see it planted in every land if it can only thrive by being sprinkled with the biood of constituted authorities, and therefore we regard this plot against the life of an allied and friendly Sovereign with horror and detestation, and shall not be sorry to fied that the trap which Mazzini and his dupes are charged with baving laid for the Emperor Louis Napoleon has caught themselves, — Tunes.

CHINA.

Our naval forces in China, on the 8th of June, took a fort and destroyed about 127 junks, mounting 900 guns. Three officers and eight men killed; three officers and fifty-three ten wounded on our side. The capture of 13 junks on the

27th May, and 27 junks on the 28th May, are also mentioned.

Destruction or tar Cuinese Freer—Deatu or Mason Krarney.—The Chinese flect has been destroyed in two severe engagements. The Chinese fought their guns with unexampled constancy. We have 83 men killed and wound- ed. Major Kearney was killed in the last engagement. Commodore Keppel and the Master of the Raleigh have been tried for the loss of that vessel and acquitted. “All is quiet in the North.

[The Chinese fight with increasing pertinacity and discip- line, and show themselves not only better soldiers than in the Tast war, but even more success/ul, In two engagements they have killed and wounded altogether 83 of our men. They have not, however, heen able to avert the total destruc- tion of their fleet. Our flotilla of gun boats, having done this service, will now be able to visit all the river forts, and show themselves at Canton without interruption. As that city is thus actually in our power, there seems no substantial reason why the mere proof of this should not obtain for us all te objects of the expedition, without further bloodshed or military operations. |

PRUSSIA.

Desrrvction or Tux Town or T'raspacn sy Fire.—The Gazette de Treves announces that the little town of Trasbach on the Moselle, was entirely destroyed last week during the night. It ecntained about 220 houses. The school and the church, although situated on an elevation, are now a mere mass of ruins. ‘ The loss resulting from this catastrophe is considerable,” adds the journal ; * for Trasbach, in proportion to its extent, was one of the richest towns of the province, and even of the monarchy. ‘Three slaters, trying to ex- tinguish the fire, were precipitated into the flames, and were

burnt to death.”

Particutars or THE Iratian Conspinacy.—The Debats coptains a Jong and curious article respecting the late insurrec- tionary movements in Italy. Among other things it says that the plot was conceived ona large scale, and was skilfully or- ganised ; the most experienced conspirators, not only of ltaly, but of France and Germany, were privy to the arrangements. The leaders of the movement had considerable sums of money at their disposal, the origin of which remains a mystery. The supreme direction of the conspiracy was entrusted, according to all accounts, to Mazzini. fe visited Genoa, it is said, at the commencement of the month of April, after having run through Germany, France, Switzerland, and even the Italian provinces of Austria, defying, with rare presence of mind, the vigilance of the Austrian police, which is, nevertheless, so clever in dis- covering those who are obnoxious to it. We are now acquaint- ed by the declaration of M. Ratazzi that the merit of the discovery of the plot at Genoa is due to the French administration, which at once placed itself incommunication with the Courts of Rome, Naples, Turin, and Florence. ‘T'wo circumstances then arose ; the Italian Courts were enabled totake precautionary measures,

/and the conspirators saw themselves detected and threatened.

{t is said that confusion and hesitation entered their ranks ; that the majority desired an adjournment of the enterprise, but that the minorty insisted on an immediate appeal to arms. The explosion of the plot was the work of this obstinate minority. This criminal and absurd enterprise has occasioned great evils, and caused many victims. ‘I'he conspirators have lost many of their men; but, as generally happens, the leaders have taken care of themselves. Mazzini was, it is said, in favour of the adjournment, and the movement broke out inspite of his exertions.

THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE,

The following review of the case, with commente, ig ‘tained in a leading article in the London Times of the 10th If romance and mystery cau insure remembrances, the ter. rible case which was yesterday concluded at Kdinburgh will ‘have an abiding place in the annals of criminal justigg. | Madeline Smith has, after nine days’ trial, been acqui ‘and goes forth again free into fhe world.

many who believed that the opinion held by the minori would prevail, aod that the unhappy girl would suffer the penalty of the crime alleged against ber.

The dead man, L’Angelier, is not one whose fate there is any need to commisserate. His conduct to one who had been his victim was base and unmanly in the last degree, and can only be excused on the ground stated by the lord Advocate, that by the law of Scotland an irregular marriage might be held to have taken place, and that L’Angeiier a right to consider Madeline Smith as his wife, and to prohibit her union with another man. I¢ appears that the prisoner left the Clapton boarding-school in 1853, when she was only seventeen years old, and that within two years of taat time she met the deceased, said to be a native of Jersey, and at that time in the employment of a Glasgow warehouseman, at a salary of eight or ten shillings a week, with his board and lodging. L’Angelier paid his addresses, which were well received by the young lady, but forbidden by her parents, who doubtless thought his position and prospeets not such as would entitle him to ask their daughter’s hand. Months passed, however, and the intimacy of the pair continued. Madeline slept on ‘the ground floor, and used to receive the visits of her lover ‘first at the window, and then in the room itself. In the spring of 1856 we find from her letters that she had been seduced by L’Angelier, and from that time to the close of the year she writes to him almost daily in the wild style with which the readers of the trial are familiar. By the beginning of the present year, however, ber passion had cooled. A Mr, Minnoch had proposed in all innocence to her, and in spite of stolen interviews and boarding-school heroigs, she thought it better to have a solid Glasgow man of business than a French clerk on £30 a year, who boasted to everybody of his successes with women ia general, and herself in particular,

But L’Angelier had no notion of giving her up. He did not, it appears, insist on her marrying him, but he would not allow her to marry any one else. It was in vain that she wrote to him that their love had mutually grown cold, and that they had better forget each other. Emile would show her letters to her father and to Mr. Minnoch if the match were not at once broken off. This was the motive for the crime alleged by the prosecution. Under the threats of the Frenchman, Madeline is obliged to write back that the affair with Mr. Minnoch is a false report. She seems desirous to get L’Angelier away, so that her marriage might take plage) before he could prevent it. L’Angelier, however, remains, and persists in bis threats. On the 9th of February she is distracted with terror.

engagement—having, however, promised her hand to Mr. Minnoch on the 28th of the previous month. Dates now become of importance. The prisoner for some reason or other foigns a renewal of her atteehmont for L’Angelier. She wishes to bring him back to her; the prosecution say that she may poison him—she says that she might coax him to give back the letters. On Friday, 17th, he Trai with Miss Perry. He tells her that he is to see Miss Smith on the 19th. We know not if he did see her-on that day. but we know from the testimony of his landlady that on that night he was seized with sudden illoess—as men are ill from arsenic, That the prisoner administered poison on this 19th of Febra- ary, is the first charge of which she was found not guilty. Every Glasgow chemist’s books were searched, and no pur- chase of arsenic was proved prior to the 19th, so that with respect to this first day there was sufficient doubt to justify a verdict of full acquittal. But on the 21st Madeline pur- chases arsenic at the shop of Mr. Murdock. She signs her name as required by act of Parliament, and not only gives ber real address, but has the dose, value sixpence only, put down to her father’s account. Miss Smith explains the pur- chase by stating that she used arsenic as a cosmetic, by dissolving it in the water with which she washed—a process
