A Touching Incident. The following account of an incident which is said to hare occurred on the Sth July, at Poterhoff, has been circulated in St. Petersburg, though the Times correspondent cannot Touch for its absolute truth: —The Emperor was out walking in the park, and for some reason or other became interested in the operations of several workmen, or gardeners, who were at work some distance off. .The Emperor appears to hare beckoned to one of the workmen to come to him, intending to speak to the man, and perhaps ask some questions. The workman noticed the sign throw down his tools, and ran towards the Emperor. When only a step or two from the Emperor he fell dead at the Czar’s feet, haring been shot by a scntimel, who had not seen the Emperor call the man, and who had imperative orders to lire on any strangers approaching the Emperor. His Majesty, it is said, helped to lift the body, and showed the bitterest grief.
