It is believed that this event will has ten the return to Brussels of King Leopold who is now at Wiesbaden. LONDON, April 5. No remarkable demonstrations were observable in ' London last evening, partly owing to the fact that the news of the attempt to assassinate the Prince of Wales was only generally known at a late hour. The morning papi-rs editorially voice the popular feeling of gratitude that the prince has received a harmless baptism of fire. They denounce the anti-British outbursts of the foreign press, which are, they gay, the direct cause of such attacks by half wit ted fanatics, and express the hope that continental governments will take the lesson to heart, both with respect to the control of the newspaper mouth lngs and the proper protection of for eign visitors.
