A. second attempt waa made (roassasiuate the Emperor of Germany ou tfrrttoe 2nd, while driving to too Avenue Unter den Linden, Two shots were fired, wounding him in the head, face, aod arms. The assassin, Dr Nobeiling, occupied apartments in the Avenue. When the doors Wera broken open he attempted to shoot the landlord, and Blao to commit suicide, but only succeeded in wounding himself badly in the head. He is a Socialist Professor of Agriculture in good circumstances. Tbe assassia barely, escaped death at the hands of ib« mob while being conveyed by tbe police to the hospital. Thirty shots extracted from the Emperor'a face, head, both arras, and back. Hs lost much blooil. Nobeiling is said to have been selected by lot drawn by the conspirators to shoot the Emperor, but this ia denied. The Crown Princ* with his family, and Bismarck, had arrived at Berlin. Nobeiling, who at«tempted a second time to commit Suicide on the 7th, coatinueß uncongciqus. Everything he Baya is recorded. His brothers who are officers in the army, arrived at Berlin, and are anxious to giva all information io their power. A profesed accomplice of the fitsaasaio, writes anonymously to the "North German Gazette" Ihat ten persons, four bf whom balonged to the Berlin University i with whom Nobeiling is said to have drawn lots, have quitted Berlin. Those are alone implicated. The Berlin Criminal Court has received several letters, threatening tne'assassination of oil sovereigns if Nobeiling ia harshly treated.

He discusaed.his plan with several persons, who approved it. London detectives have informed the British Government that, there is great agitation among the Socialists, and important events are imminent. The German Liberals favor extraordinary measures. They recently .-voted against the anti-Sooialist's law, because they thought Honedel'a attempt on the Emperor's life was not an associated attack, but one by a half demented cre&ture, but after Nobeiling, it is sapposed that systematic arrangements exist which incline them to moat stringent measures to save and heal the State. The Prussian Cabinet suggest that the Berlin Congress consider the dangers threatening society from Socialism. The police have made domiciliary visits to the residences of Schapari Packous, and moat other editors of the Socialist Berlin F^ee Press, andiopfisCBted various documents. The Freneh Government has offered aid in the discovery of Socialists in Paria with whom Nobeiling is said to have corresponded. Evidence is increasing of the exietance of the plot to assassinate the Imperial Family. The Socialists admit the amiability and, kind-heartedness of tbe Emperor, but thick if be were out . of the way, the policy of peace and social development would be forced on :< the Government, and the scourge of a great standing army removed, the dissolution of the Keichatag accomplished, aha* liberalism in the State constitution established.
