LONDON IN DANGER.

The Courier Diplomatique , published in Paris, contains a fetter from a London correspondent, which gives an awful picture of the danger threatening this country from the spread of soc alistic doctrines. The writer says. “ The whole of this vast empire is permeated by secret societies The Internationale here bolds its meetings almost publicly it is said that the greater number of the dispossessed Princes of India, a good number of officers Belonging to the Army and Navy, as well as members of Parliament, and even Ministers, are affiliated to it. The Government is aware of the infernal plan By which, at agiveu moment, thepublic buildings of London arc to Be e-posed to the fate which hefel so many in Paris. Boats are already wailing on the Thames to receive the treasures of the Bank of England- an easy prey, say the conspirators—as soon as the main artery of the Strand shall have been burnt, and the public Buildings—the barracks especially—shall have been blown up, as was three years ago the Clerkenwell prison Careless by nature and too much engaged with business to think of the morrow, spoiled by a long established 1 berty and a fabulous prosperity, havingformany generations forgotten the scourge of war, foreign or civil, we allow ourselves to drift on without taking heed of the signs of the times.”
