LATER.  The attempt to blovit-ip- 12—e• Winter Palace at St. Petersburg hss caused a great sensation here. Its the first instance, however, people wondered whether the explosion had arisen from gas, from a ! mine, or from an infernal machine, and netting on that subject is yet known here. After the explosion Count von Pied arrived on the scene with three companies of soldiers. The Emperor spoke i to the officers, saying, "God has sur-d me for the fifth time." His Majesty deplored the inno_ent victims whom lives bad been sacrificed, and he sad those around him all shed tears. The Empress was asleep, and did not hear the explosion. (so TELEGRAPH)  Beetle, Wednesday. The latest attempt made upon the life of the Czar has altogether engrossed public attention to.. day, and formed almost the only topic el converses don. Of the fact itself and its p remulars very little is known, so little as to occasion surprise. Eves at the Russian Embassy few particulars on be ascertained, and ciwaye d'affaires appeals to be as ill-informed as the subordinate members of the Embassy staff. It is, bowever, understood to be evident from what has happened that the attempt bad been carefully prepared, and pr pared a long time beforehand. Measures had been taken for .dirig the police estray. Several false alarms hail been given. The destruction brought about by the explosion is said to be very considerable. The (lass's family have at once removed to anoti:er wine of the Palace, whore they are considered eels, althugh an apprehension is felt that there are other mines laid under the Winter Palace braidthe one which had been exploded, so that more exploaione may be looked for. The mine aoteslly teed has been distinctly traced to the shed where fuel is kept for the use of toe Imperal household. But few particulars of toe explosion in the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg bare reach 1 Berlin, and thus even the Emperor and the lusperiai Family are but scantily informed ss to details.  It IP known that when the news got abroad in St Petersburg too officers of the regiments of the Guard hastened to the Palace with a view of reedering (ObiStIIIICO in seouring the Czar's safety, and their action was eagerly seconded by thousands of loyal citizens, who surrounded the Palace e gerly seeking for information. These repeated attempts at awiessination have ready shocked the Imperial Firrily, and it is feared that a reign of terror in Russia will now be experieso I. All intentions of promulgating a cons itution may be taken as abane cloned. The Nihilists are undo-stood to be so desperate that further POPPSPIIISLIPIIP are dreadei.  A murderous assault was committed oa Sunday in broad daylight on an English gentleman, ' Mr Pierson, in his apartment in the Rue de Turin, Paris, by a young man who called on him with a begging letter.

The scuffle, however, being heard below, assistance came, and the young man made off, but was secured by the wife of the concierge, a strong woman, who seised him, wrested the knife from him, and kept him safe till the police arrived. A lad, named Andrews, was on Monday ' charged before the county magistrates at Southampton with stabbing Williem Browning at the Shipbuilding Works, Woolston.
