Lonnoy, March 1, 1872. ‘The fact of the personal assault whicn was made ‘Upon Her Majesty Queen Victoria yesterday by the hand of the man Arthur O'Connor, with the subse quent incidents of his arrest and temporary come mitment for examination before a magistrate, con- stitute a theme for universal comment and public ‘condemnation in the columns of the city journals to-day. The newspaper writers draw a comparison between “the act of this one individual und the im- mense demonstration of loyalty made by the entire populace of ‘ondon, as well as other demonstra- ‘ions throughvut the United Kingdom on Tuesday fast’" ZOOATION OF THE ASSASSIN AND HIS MODE OF APPROACH, Immediately before his aurack upon Her Majesty O'Connor scaied the iron railing, ten feet in height, which surrounds the court yard of Buckingham Palace. ‘When be approached the royal carriage he frat saw Lady Churchill, Lady in Waiting on the Queen— who was riding with Her Majesty—and was about to assauit her; but he soon discovered his mistake and turned his attack upon the Queen. JOHN BROWN DOES YEOMAN’S SERVICE BY IMME- DIATE ARREST. Ber Majesty’s groom, John Brown, who was rid- ing behinu her carriage, upon witnessing the action of O'Connor, leaped from his horse, and arrested and disarmed the assailant. THE PRISONER DELIVERED TO THE POLICE, O'Connor, the prisoner, was immediately handed over to the police authorities. He will be brought to Bow Street Police Court Station this morning, or about the hour of noon, ‘where a preliminary examination will be held. EXCITING SCENE IN BOW STREET. At the hour of noon all the streets and side lane approaches to the Bow Street Police Station Were jammed by an immense concourse of peopie, who gathered in hope of catching a glimpse of O’Oonnor during his conveyance to or from the Magistrate's Court. THE PRISONER IN COURT—H1S APPEARANCE. The assailant of the Queen, O'Connor, was brought before the Police Magistrates at Bow street at noon to-day for examination. The court room and all its approaches were densely crowded. ‘The prisoner presented a very boyish and not un- pleasing ajpearance, and to-day was at the moment quiet and unassuming in manner. He made no at- tempt at bravado, and listened quietly to the testi- mony, Without seeking to interrupt or contradict the witnesses. O'CONNOR'S STATEMENT. On being interrogated by the Magistrate he stated that his full name was Arthur O'Connor; that he ‘was born in England, but that his father was a native of Ireland, It was subsequently elicited that his grandfather was the well known Feargus O’vonnor, one of the leaders of the English vhartist movement, THE TESTIMONY. John Brown, Her Majesty’s groom; Colonel Har- dinge, Equerry to the Queen, and Prince Leopold, testified to the circumstances of the assault, of which they were eyewitnesses. Their statements do not differ materially from the accounts tele- graphed to the New YorE HERaLD. One of the policemen into wuose custody 0’Con- mor was delivered swore that the prisoner said the reason he had not loaded the pisto! was because it ‘was broken; that he repeatediy exclaimed, “I wisn to God Ihad succeeded; that he avowed he haa intended ¢o present the petition for a Fenian am- nesty to the Queen in St. Paul’s Cathedral on Tues- day, when she was surrounded by her Ministers; that he then had pen and ink ready for her to sign the document witn; that he would have made the attempt, but the crowd was so great that ne could Mot get near Her Majesty. THE PAPER FOR FENIAN AMNESTY. Two papers found on the prisoner when he was ‘seized were produced In Court and read. One, par doning ail the Fenian convicts, 18 in substance as followss— Vicrorta, Queen by grace of God, make the following declaration :— Whereas there are now confined in various prisons throughout the kingdom a number of Irish- men known as celebrated Fenians; whereas they ‘were imprisoned with my sanction, baving rebelled and conspired against the Crown and to weaken and destroy my power; whereas sympathizers with these men have Reeaconn for their pardon, and Notwithstanding they are still unltberaved; now I, Victoria, Queen, &c., do grant fuil pardon to cach and every Fenian prisoner unconditioually; and Motwithstanding this my agreement is made under dear of my life, I will not depart therefrom, This is dated February 22, 1872. PERSONAL PUNISHMENT. ‘The other document is a commutation in ad- ‘vance of the punishment of the prisoner for nis pre- gent act from hanging to shooting, and is dated February 2% ELD VOR TRIAL At the conclusion of theexamunation the prisoner ‘was commitied for trial at the aseizes, and taken back to jail ander a strong escort. INFERENCES OF THB PUBLIC. It ts evident that the papers found on the prisoner ‘re his own work, and the impression of all who heard them read is that they are the production ef a deranged mind, The Queen at Windsor.

Arrangements for Presentation to the President on Monday—A Round of Receptions Organ- ised—The Programme for Next Week. WASHINGTON, March 1, 1872, The official presentation of the Japanese Embassy to the President has been arranged for Monday, at twelve o'clock, and will take place in the East Room, The President will be attended by his household, suite, the Vice President and members of the Uabinet and members of the Senate and House Committees on Foreign Relations ana Affairs. The address of the Chief Ambassador, Iwakura, in presenting nis credentials, will be brief but strong in its expressions of frienaship for the people of the United States, with wnich nation Japan now seeks close relationship. The reply of the President will cordially reciprocate the wishes expressed in the address of Iwakura. At the con- Cluston of the speeches the members of the Empassy will be introduced to the President and Cabinet officers, It hag not been decided whether Mrs, Grant will take part in this official reception, put if she does she will be assisted by the wives of members of the Cabinet. Upon the occasion of the reception of the first Japanese embassy, tn 1860, President Buchanan summoned all the omMcers of the army and navy in this city to appear in uniform and asaiest in the honors of the reception, This being the era of peace, that display will be dispensed with on Monday. In the evening Congressman Brooks will enter- tain the members of the Embassy at his residence. On Tuesday evening the grand reception will take Place at the Masonto Temple. The hall 1s to be elaborately decorated, the arrangements being Made under the supervision of the State Depart- ment. The next reception will be given by the President, at the Executive Mansion, out the evening has not oeen fixed. Other receptions will be given, and the Japanese are promised a round of dining and wining equal to anything they can expect abroad. A secret has been divulged by one of the Embassy which ilustrates the character of the Japs in carry- ing on diplomatic matters. It was represented to “Commodore Perry, when the Japanese went on board his vessel to agree upon a commercial treaty, that none of the party could speak or understand Engush. The negotlations were carried on in the most carefui manner, and protracted as much ag possible. During this time our officers talked ireely Of the advantages which would follow to both the nited States and Japan by tue opening of the ports of the latter to commerce, but not one word was spoken in the presence of the Japanese of a trivial nature. Among the Japs were a number who did understand English, and the sincerity of the re- marks of the American officers overheard during ti.e negotiations were repeated to the Japanese by the cunning Listeners, and so favorably tmpressed the parties entrusted with the duty that it was com- municated to tie Tycoon, Who was fully satisfied with the honesty of purpose on the part of the United States in their professed friendship. The treaty received the royal sanction, and Japan was united ‘with us in commercial amity. Since then we have steadily advanced, and to-aay the United States is honored with a visit from tne greatest of the Japan- ese dignitaries that can leave his country, being an Ambassador Extraordinary, The question of diplo- matic etiquetic has been raised, and it is decided it will be the duty of roreign Ministers to call upon Iwakura. One of the results of the visit of the Embassy is anticipated in placing the Mission to tne United States On an equality with that of Great Britain and France, and the honor of the first appointment of Minister Extraordinary from the Japanese empire will undoubtediy be conterred upon J. Mori, the present eiicient Chargé d’Aftaires, American talent in demand, aud to-day H. M. Miller, formerly appraiser, and Matthew Scott, chief examiner in the San Fraucisco Custum House, sailed for Japan to assist in organizing the Custom House in Japan. THE UTAH STATE CONVENTION.

The apticies of the constitution relative to the Executive and Judicia! bepartments, impeach- ment and removal irom office, corporations, finances, the State Department, taxation, education, military, public imstitutions, boundary, &c., were adopted.

WasmingTon, March 1, 1872; America’s Reply to England on the Geneva Arbitration—Our Case Sustained. ‘The Cabinet at its session to-day agreed upon the answer to the note of Earl Granville recetved here on the 22d of February, and it was matled to-night for London. It 1s brief, acknowledging in the most courteous language the receipt of Granville’s note, quoting that portion referring to the subject’ of consequential damages and firmly adhering to our case as presented at Geneva, It is contended that the subject is one for arbitration under the Treaty of Washington, The members of the Cabinet have, untti to-day, studiously avoided conversation on the subject; but after the session, which lasted over two hours, every member was at liberty to say that the note Was finished, and that our government would Stand by tne position assumed in the beginning by the President, ‘The mail trom the State Department to Minister Schenck was unusually large, containing copies of the leading newspapers with editorial comments on the mooted points of the treaty. An answer to the note of Secretary Fish, if any 1s sent, will not reach here before the Ist of Aprtl. The Mixed Claims Commission and Doubtful Treaty. There is beginning to be some manifestation of feeling among Congressmen as to the propricty of allowing the Mixed Ulaims Commission to go on rolling up judgments against the United States, while the treaty upon which that Commission de- pends for existence is itself in a doubtful state, ‘This feeling 18 more apparent among Senators than 1n the other House in consequence of their partici pation in the making of the treaty, and a number of them have spoken of the propriety of a resolu- tion of inquiry. Asa practical question the matuer is not of immediate consequence, the members of the Commission themselves being conscious of the advisability of making haste slowly till tne tenure Of office is better assured, the mere filing of heavy British claims for indirect and consequential dam- ages not working any serious complication or in- jury. A Dull Day in the Senate at Last—Tie Arms Sales Committee. After the storm of the past three weeks there was @ dead calm in the Senate to-day. Mr. Sumner took an early occasion to offer his anticipated excuse for declining to-be named in connection with the chair- manship of the Committee of Investigation on the Remington contracts and agency business with France. Tne delicacy of this course was generally appreciated by the Senate, though it appeared to be wholiy lost on Mr. Cameron, who not onlv imme- diately afterwards presented a list of the proposed committee, with Mr. Sumner, but put Mr. Harlan at the tall end.of it, though he had voted against the resolution and could not, if appointed, regard him- self as engaged in a useful or proper undertaking. Vice President Colfax, who again found himself ina declining mood, had previous to the submission of Mr. Cameron’s list declined to nominate the committee; and Mr. Sherman, who had a valid rea- Son as chairman of the Finance Committee, de- clinéd'to serve on the speciat committee, Mr. Trumbull objected to the failure of Mr. Cameron to put Mr. Sehurz on the list after he had taken of Mr. Sumner’s name, but Mr, Cameron suggested that he had some preferences in the matter, and declined a revision of the list, which stood—Hamlin, Carpen- ter, Sherman, Sawyer, Logan, Stevenson and Har- lan. Some debate of an unimportant character followed, which was ended by a motion of Mr. Boreman, of West Virginia, to lay the resolution on the table, whence it could be taken up at any time if anybody desired to resuscitate it and the Senate ‘was willing, Pending this motion the Senate went into Committee of the Whole on the General Ap pro- priation bill, which soon cleared the galleries, The House and the Railroad Lobpies, Proceedings in the House to-day were entirely without interest. An excitement was indulged in over a resolution to reconsider the vote by which the Bayfield and St. Croix Ratlroad bill was com- mitted to the Committee on Public Lands yesterday. After considerable discussion a compromise was ef- fected, by which vhe bill was allowea to goto that committee, with instructions to report any time next week, and that it should be open to amend- ments, After the morning hour the House went into Committee of the Whole on the Deficiency mil, which was considered with commendable zeal until after five o'clock, when the House adjourned, ‘The activity of the lobby on the Wisconsin land grab 1s one of the notable events of the session, and ‘whe action to-day shows that the House is discon- tented with its spasm of virtue, The fact that the Northern Pacific Railroad is interested, and nasa powerful lobby here to defeat the bill, excites. tne cupidity of the corrupt, and they made haste to put it m such shape that the lobbies can show the the parted, potency of their arguments. Minister De Li Pretensions and Hopes— ‘Treading on the Toes of Jim Nye—A Deli- cate and Dangerous Position. The position of Mr. De Long, United States Minister to Japan, 1 an anomalous and deli- cate one, and will require unusual ingenulty for bis successful extrication. He finds himself in Wash- ing’on, the seat of as own government, ang many thousands of miles. from that of the government to which he 18 accredited, without the color or shadow of authority for being here, other than six weeks’ leave of absence obtained since his arrival from Secretary Fish, and, beyond ali question, without the solicitation or even invitation of the high Embassy which he has assumed to have taken in his charge. From the day of landing in San Francisco to the day of arrival In Washington Mr. De Long bas enjoyed @ succession of cleverly coatrived ovations on the route and in the press as the inspirator of the sending fortn of the Embassy and contriver of the arguments which sent it first to the United States. Minister De Long has become known to his fellow cilizens of the Pacific coast as the virtual creator of their mag- nificent commercial future, and ts supposed to have earned not only their undying gratitude, to find its possibie future expression in enduring monu- ments, but an immedate substantial reward in their suffrages, in tne direction and to the extent that will carry him to the jester’s stool of Senator Jim Nye. Little by little the facts fave welled out, and have troubled with the roar of an almighty stream the ears of the present Senator from Nevada, who, though known to be somewhat indifferent to a con- tinuance of Senatorial honors in @ general way, has @ particular aversion to even w suggestion that De Long, his former belted coripetitor, shal. be his successor, This ts one source, and a great source, of danger to ous Minister tO Javan. and still areater is she probabittty that tf the incidental explans- tons which the Ambassado# may feel.1t incumbent to make to the State Depaitment concerning the origin aud significance of they mission the claims of De Long to the honor and glory and the proft in Part of our new relations with Japan will melt like snow, and his aspirations fer bigner office at home or continuance at a foreigy Court, whose dignity and independence have been cionded by the pretensions set up in his behalf, at once be rendered impossible.

It has for a short time past been mooted in diplo- matic circles that a slight misunderstanding had arisen between the United Svates and Italy. The alleged cause 1a an objectionaule despatch of Minis. ter Marsh to the State Department, reflecting upon the Italian government. There’ ia no doubt that it has only recently been discovered, though written in September, 1870, and unintentionally published in the diplomatic correspondence of that year. There may have been comment apon tt in diplo- matic circles here, but it has not been brought to the attention of the State Department. Sentence on Ex-Uongressman Stokes. In the Criminal Court, Judge Cartter, this morning, Mr. Wiliam B, Stokes, convicted of naving received money for prosecuting claims against the govern- ment while he was a representative im Congress, @ppeared on the opening of the Court’ with his counsel, who stated that General Stokes had come into Court to subject himself vo such penalty as the Court saw fit to impose, Judge Cartter said: General Stokes, the Court has come to the conclu. sion to impose on you @ penalty of $1,500 and the costs of the prosecution, I have been governed in My action by several considerations, among them your unilorm good character, your advanced age and the request of men of ali parties in your State that your punishment should be lignt.

He also presented the proj- ect of the National Board of Trade for the estab- lishment of a Department of Commerce, thus sepa- Tating the commercial from the financial branches of the Treasury Department. At twoo’clock the Senate Committee on Com- Merce met for the purpose of hearing the delegation, and Mr. George Opdyke, of the New York Chamber of Commerce, and W. R. Kirkland, of the Baltimore Board of Trade, took up the project of the establishment of the Department of Commerce, and explained it to the committee, Tney contended that in the point of view from which they were arguing the com- mercial interests of the country were to-day supe- Ttor to those of agriculture, mining and mechanical industry, and that the time had come-when those nterests could demand from the government a separate and intelligent supervision. The Now Hampshire Canvass. Senator Cragin, of New. Hampshire, left for that State to-day to take part in the campaign.

General 0. 0. Howard, at the request of the Sec- retary of the Interior, has consented to visit Ari- zona in the character of specia! agent of the gov- ernment to report upon the spirit of the Apache Indians in respect to hostilities against tne whites, to talk with the Indians personally and find out ex- actly what is the truth of matters about which there is no definite official in- formation, but at present only vague rumors. His instructions are similar to those given Mr. Colyer, who went to Arizona last autumn. He has a large discretion to take any action which may appear to him to be in the interest of peace with these Indians. General Howard takes with him a large number of his staf, and leaves here next Thursday. The Secretary has no doubt that a raid will be prevented, and expresses much satisfaction at having secured the aid of General Howard, WEATHER REPORT.
