Niblos refers to Niblos Garden theater. The wedding guest beating his breast on hearing the last bassoon comes from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
We read about Felice Orsini and his attempt to assassinate Napoleon III in the March 6 issue of Harpers Weekly (pages 14-16). There will be a follow up story about the execution of two of the plotters in a later issue.
