A THOMASSEN PLOT.
The Times says the particulars of an attempt to destroy a steamer plying between Liverpool and New York have just leaked out at the former place. It appears that just before the vessel referred to left Liverpool for New York on her last voyage, having on board a number of emigrants, a man gave a steward a box and requested him as a favour to convey it to New York. The steward's suspicions were aroused, and ho consulted the captain, who ordered that the box be opened. This was done in the presence of the captain and officers, and the bux was found to contain an infernal machine. The contents of the box were thrown overboard but the box itself was retained and a note made of the address upon it. The fact of this discovery was not made, known publicly in New York on the vessel's arrival there, but the British Consul General in that city was notified of it.
