Mapai, July 19, 1872, An attempt has been made to assassinate His Majesty Amadeus and his wife Marla Victoria, the ‘King and Queen of the Spaniards. ‘THE DARK MOMENT AND DEADLY DEED. About the hour of midnight last night, as the King and Queen were returning from the Palace Garden to the Palace, five men, conveniently Posted in Arnal street, here in the city, fired upon sthe carriage in which they were seated. The King and Queen escaped without injury. PROMPT AND EFFICIENT AVENGEMENT, The attendants in waiting, and those having charge of the royal party, acted promptly and vigorously in their defence, One of the assassins was Killed immediately, and the remaining four captured and held as prisoners. OITY EXCITEMENT AND CIVIC SYMPATHY WITH THE CROWN. The pews of the occurrence spread quickly through the metropolis, and the people, calling to mind the sad fate of Prim, were deeply and uni- versally excited. ‘The utmost indignation was and still is expressed against the agents and actors in the cowardly ced. The tranquillity of the city remains undis- turbed, notwithstanding the fact that when the first accounts of the atfair were freely circu- lated there was considerable agitation. Crowds gathered in the netghborhood where the attack had been made, and at the hour of four o’clock in the morning to-day almost the entire ‘population of Madrid was hastening through the streets to the scene, SELF-RELIANT AND RUSTING. King Amadcus and the Queen retained their Solf-posscssion during the first brief interval of actual danger, and also in the moments in which their servants held the short but decisive confi Cty ‘with the murderers. LOYAL CONGRATULATIONS AT THE PALACE, When quiet was restored at the dreadful point of attack the royal party proceeded to the Palace, ‘where they are now, as this despatch is forwarded to the HERALD, receiving the members of the Ministry, the civil and military authorities of the city; and deputations from the people at large are congratu- tating them on their safe return, The people, of every clase, are enthustastic in their rejoicing at ‘the failure of the assassins’ assault.

A judicial inquiry Is actively progressing into the circumstances of the attempted assassination. There is iio doubt that all connected with the crime will be Ocalt with according to the utmost rigor of the law. Amadeus’ Appearance and Pérsonal Bearing in the Streets of Madrid. ‘An Engiish writer, dating in Madrid a few weeks Bince, describes the personal appearance and bear- dog of King Amadeus, during one of his every day street tours through the Spanish capital, in the fol- fowing words:—“I have just returned from a walk through the Calle Alcala down the Prado, and I had the good fortune to sce King Amadens three or four times. He was alone, only a groom in the royal livery, crimson and gold, following at some twenty yards Giatance. Awadcus looked every inch a king, and even if I had been the hottest of Cartists I do not think I could avoided lifting my hat to him, pace, he rode there alone led streets and the narrow row, where, calm, collected and courteous, any one might lave fired at him at turee yards’ dis- J could not help admiring him, and to myself, “Whit a handsome, ‘brave feliow he 1s—too good for b erate nation, and T felt pleasure w! people sty, ‘3 vatiente’ (‘he is br Rot too brave.

To the public he just luted his hat; to any carriage with ladies he saluted, keeping uncovered severai seconds, and to | y soldier or olticer who happened to pass, he sainted with an air of Camardorie. He is a finished horseman, and rides his thoroughbred Uke an Eng- | ishman, but with very long military setae and Of course military ride. The Prado was full of car- Tiages and rifers—the horses generaily poor, the ‘women generally pretty. Sketches of King Amadeus and Quecn Maria Victoria. The King of the Spaniards was born on the 80th ef May, in the year 1845. His wife, Queen Marta | Victoria, daughter of Chartes Emmanuel, Prince | Cisterna, and Loulse Caroline Ghtsiainc, was bora 1 the oth of August, 1347, Avery young couple; wut they have already witnessed life events of a most remarkable character. King Amadeus, since his departure from Italy, hhas taken the oath of ailegtance to the new Spanish constitution, has had new experiences of party men and Cabinets almost dally, bas had revolutionary outbreaks and civil war to contend with, has seen Prim in his coffin aud a republic in France. THE QUEEN. Queen Marla Victorla, Princess of Cisterna, ts the daughter of the Piedmontese Prince Cisterna, her mother being of the noble Beigian family of | De Merode, To this Piedmontese-Beigian origin | she owes the fact that she represents lereditarily at the same time the most decided traditions of Italian constitutionalism and the most devoted adherence to the interests of Papal Rome. The De Merode connection abundantiy explains the | second fact. Her father, who took a prominent part in the Piedmontese liberal movement of 1821, ‘was condemned to death for that participa. tion, hanged in effigy, bad all his property Bequstrated, and long lived an exile from his native Italy, It was during that exile that he made the acauAntares of the peng, Belgian hetreas—Mile. de Merode. Though ry rna’s Picdmontese property was sequestrated, the kind, {pling entertained towards him by the old King were cause that it 1 continued to be administered for the beneft of ie 80 that when united with the De merode estates, which trobled it in value, tt made Prince Ciaterna, on his return to Italy after the repeal of the sentence of banishment, one of the wealthiest men in the [talian peninsula. Prince Cisterna died fm 1854, leaving his only child, Maria Victoria, only six fo of ;. bat he had already laid the foundation for hfs daughter of a system of educa- tion, scrupulously followed out the surviv- ing parent—a system much more In accordance with the idea of the intellectual standard o: a Victoria Colonna and other Ltalian women of that stamp than with the average rua of the young priests or ducheases to be seen on the Koman ineio or the Florence Cascine, An early, severe, unbroken pursuit of mathematics and the kindred Sciences—a comprehensive study of ancient and modern languages and history, a thorough training io the more important general principles of Roman and Itallan law—such has been her course of read- ing and study, progressing from her earliest chiid- hood, of the new Queen of Spain. It has not been pursued to the neglect of those feminine tastes and graces without which no lady, however cx- aited her station, can ever command cor- dial interest and sympathy, The Italian M- nance Minister, Sella, himself a great mathema- ticlan, is reported to have left the presence of the august Indy, after his frst interview, some eighteen months ago, in a state of extreme wonder- Ment at the conquest which she had made in the domains of Lag: and Lapiac To these pur- suits she ia still extremely devoted; and no state- ment can possibly be more i te from the truth than that which has appearcd in some quarters that the final poe nie noG of the Crown of Spain by King Amaiicus haa been owing to the ambition of his wife, Tho Princess Maria Vietorla Cisterna 1s a Piedmontese of the Piedmontese. By her marriage with the second son of the King of Italy, by her own great private fortune, she oceupied tn ‘Turin a posi- tion heid by no other person save the King himself, and she had nothing so much at heart as to live in the old Piedmontess capital the first female figure in its society, pursuing without interruption her Private studies, and only sharing with them the cures of domestic management, ENGLAND. fihctacn lithe bal The Coming Prorogation of Parliament—What the Grenadiers Say of America—Emi- gration to the United States— Splendid Ecene in Opera, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

To THE EpITOR OF THK HeRaLy:— | Marshal McGee lias attempted to correct a state- | ment of an American, and proclaims that they, the Orangemen, owe no allegiance to the Britivn or any other government other than the United States of America. Marshal McGee presents a bolder cheek in your valuable paper to the public than he did on horseback to the disgusted citizens of New York on | the 12th of July. Does William Me(iee think that the hundreds of thousands of peopie ail over the country who daily read the tratu-loving HeRaLD are ignorant of the Orangeman’s oath’ He says we are sworn, a8 Orangemen and citizens of this pps republic, to support the Union and not bring disgrace on our country or the colors which they wear, Now, that statement is an insult to the intelligence of the people, for when a man takes the Orangeman’s oath he swears to uphold the British crown and to maintain it and be sub- | ject to its lawa, Then should they (the Britishera) ever be so silly as to altempt to take issue with this free and glorious country, Out of which they have been 80 bravely kicked, at which side would we find the gailant Marshal and his brave followers, first in the field and last to yield?

WASHINGTON, July 19, 1872; The Prospect of Republican Victory tf North Carolina. A Virginia gentleman who has always been re- garded as a liberal republican arrived tere to-day from a recent trip througn North Carolina, He ex- Presses the opinion that North Carolina will go republican at the coming election by at least eight thousand majority. He says there ia no defection among the blacks, and did not learn that a single white republican of prominence had given in adherence to Greeley. He describes the canvass as being conducted with more re- ference to national that Stato politics, and thinks that party lincs as now formed will remain unchanged until November. He further says that the democrats are liberally supplied with money, $200,000 having been sent to the fuglemen of that party from New York. Barbecues, mass meetings, &c., are being held in every county, and twenty-five fresh speakers from outside the State are expected to make their appearance in diferent sections of the State. Senator Pool writes to a friend here that the re- Publicans will carry the State by 15,000. Other esti- mates are as low as 5,000, while others give reason to doubt the anticipated radical success. The Confederate Archives and the Plot to Barn Northern Citics—An Unrepentant Rebel Pickett. Colonel John T, Pickett, formerly the Confederate States Dip'omatic Agent for the government of Mexico, publishes a statement showing his agency in the sale of the Confederate archives to this gov- ernment, the price obtained being $75,000, They were stored in four trunks and duly delivered at the Ex- ecutive Mansion on the 3d of this month. The docu. ments consist of the entire archives of the State Department of the Confederate States, without the abstraction of a single piece. The secret service vouchers, by which many persons of little note on this side of the lines might have been compromised, did not leave Richmond with these more public papers, but were faithfully and honorably deatroyed by Mr. Benjamin the day of the evacuation, “There 1s,” says Colone! Pickett, “but one paper, the perusal of which gave me any pain—the report of Hon. Jacob Thompson on the operations on the frontier, &c., the existence of which was unknown to me until the government officer with whom I lately went to Canada for the documents found it. The publication of his report,” Pickett adds, ‘will doubtless cause him, with Jefferson Davis and J. P. Benjamin, to feel uncomfortable for a little while; but as I expect to go to ricither of them when 1 die my sympathy shall not be of a heartrending charac- ter, especially as they have all treated me badly enough in my time; and here I must be suffered, as one still faithful to the lost cause, to say that L wholly repudiate the policy of attempting to burn North- ern cities during the war, especially democratic cities, and that I always indignatitly denied the allegation until I saw Thompson’s report. So let those three worthies wince, not the noble people | whose cause they butchered. These now famous archives have no political significance whatever. Historically and financially they are valuable. I dare say all good citizens and taxpayers are inter- ested in them. In the latter aspects they may save money to the Commonwealth by defeating the ciaims of those who threw up their caps for Jeffer- son Davis and shouted ‘death to the Yankees’ during ¢he war, and now come up here with their claims and perjure their souls by swearing that they were always ‘trooly loil.’ [have no sympathy with such. The conqueror stripped me of every dollar, reducing my children to the verge of want and degradation and consigning me to insignifi- cance and endless toil; but if a mere expression of regret at the part I took could tnsure the return of the last cent with compound interest, I would scorn with a scorn unspeakabic to receive it on those terms. I do not pretend to have been ‘trooly loil,’ but, as I labor under the impression that the war Is over at last, Iam willing to take a fresh departure and endeavor by the arts of peace to relieve the party now in power from the care of | administeriug the common government any | longer."” Secretary Boutwell’s Movements. Secretary Boutwell is expected to return to Washington to-night. He will leave again in a few days for the North. Consul General Butler. The Washington Chronicle says that the President in the carly part of 1871 gave a peremptory order for the removal of George LI. Butier, Consul General in Egypt, and that “it ts certain he will no longer | disgrace the American name abroad in any official capacity.” The Cotton Cxdp. ‘The following is a summary of the July cotton crop report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture. The past month has been generally favorable to cotton, Limited areas have been affected by drought, but rains were quite general during the latter part of June. On the Atlantic coasts showers have heen so frequent and heavy since June 20 as to delay cu!tivation and promote the growth of weeds and grass. Before that date a season of comparative drought of seven or eight | weeks had been suffered in a portion of this district, while other parts represent the weather as having been uniformly favorable. | The variation in rainfall during the past month hag been considerable tn the Atiantic States, ranging as follows at the stations reported from:— 1.2 to 4.9 inches in Virginia, 1.75 to 5.49 inches in North Carolina, 1.4 to 3.95 laches in South Carolina, from 1.25 to 4.96 inches in Georgia, from 4 to 6 inches in Florida and from 1.55 to 4.89 inches in Ala- bama. In the States on the Mississippi the rainfall has been abundant, the lowest records in the seve- ral States being from 2 to 4 inches end the highest from 4.6to11 inches. In Tennessee the range is from 264 to 10.63 inches; in Louisiana from 4.85 to 1 inches; in Texas from 22 to 6.9 inches; | in Arkangas from 4.3 to §.2 inchea. The States making averages lower than 100, the standard of | good condition, are Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, in which the average rainfall in May and June was light, and Arkansas, where in- jury has resulted from heavy and unseasonable | rains, In all the other States the averages are above 100, The figures representing the condition | are ag follows:—Virginia, 96; North Carolina, 04; South Carolina, 67; Georgia, 101; Miorida, 102; Aia- bama, 108; Mississippt, 169; Louisiana, 102; Texas, 105; Arkansas, 95; Tennessee, 104. Taking into | consideration the relative importance of the States | in production the general average of condition would be about 103.

A HEARTRENDING SCENE OF DESTRUCTION, Rocuester, July 19, 1372. One of the most appalling and heart-sickening ratlroad catastrophies ever witnessed in this vicin- ity occurred this forenoon at about 10:30 o'clock, about three-quarters of a milo east of Pittsford, by the collision of the Baltimore passenger train going east and a coal train, Pittsford isthe first station seven miles cast of Rochester on the Auburn or okt road division of the New York Central Rallroad. Baltimore trains run on the New York Central road 88 far as Canandaigua and there take the Northern Central track south. ‘THE PASSENGER TRAIN left Rochester as usual at ten minutes past ten A. M., arriving at Pittsford on time, at half-past ten o'clock. Here they were to be met by the coal train coming West, but that not having arrived, and as itis always expected to keep out of the way of passenger trains, it was: supposed that, being behind time, they had stopped at Fisher, the next station east, WHERE THERE 13 NO TELEGRAPH OFFICE. The passenger train left Ptifsfora two minutes late. The coal train was long and heavily loaded, and when about a mile and a haif from where the —_ collision ~—occurred, broke, and after havings been delayed in coupling together, started on. The scene of this sad accident ts situated in about the contre of a very long and quite abrupt curve. Not far dis- tant on the inner side in each direction are rises of ground, which COMPLETELY WIDE ANY TRAIN which may be approaching from either direction around the curve, Buta few rods of the track ts visible to @ train rounding it, and these trains could not have been over four rods apart when the situation became known to the engineers. In- Stantly the rods were reversed and brakes put down, but too late. WITH A FRARFUL CRASH, which was heard a mile away, the trains came to- gether, crushing the fixtures of the ponderous | locomotives into ono mass of ruins. The coal engine was driven over the top of the passenger car, the smoke stack standing up ata great height, The passenger train consisted ofa baggage car next a smoking car, then a com- mon passenger coach, and in the rear a Puliman Palace car. The baggage car and THE SMOKING CAR TELESCOPED, and 60 closely were they fitted t her that it ta marvellous any human being escaped alive from either of them, The other cars were uninjured, and so were their occupants, exceptsome alight bruises received from being thrown forward, ‘the en- gineer and firemen of the coal train botit JUMPED BEFORE THE TRAINS COLLIDED and received some injuries, which are not serious. The passenger train engineer jumped also and re- ceived a sprained foot and some slizht cuts. The fireman remained on the tender, and, though that is a complete wreck, he escaped with @ broken wrist and other slight injuries, ‘The loss of life is confined to the smoking car, in which were fourteen or fifteen persons. Tho bot- tom of the baggage car entered but a few inches from the floor and plonghed along to within four or five feet of the opposite end, where It raised a few feet. The scence presented begzars description. Some of the inmates of the car, though not seri- ously injured, were fastencd and were BEGGING AND PLEADING FOR HELP in a way which was sickening to hear.
