BRITISH AND FOREIGN.
[Association Special.] ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3. An unsuccessful attempt has been made on the life of the Emperor of Russia, who arrived at Moscow yesterday. The train following with baggage was blown up, and seven carriages completely destined, but fortunately nobody was injured. The perpetrators arc unknown, but the outrage is undoubtedly the work of Nihilists. The Emperor, in reply to a deputation who jirescntcd him with a congratulatory address, thanked God for his escape, and appealed to his subjects for aid in exterminating sedition. The carriages which exploded were not railway cars, but ordinary baggage carriages following the Emperor in the streets of Moscow.
