St. Peteesbueg, March 14. The Assassination of the Czar,

The assassination of the Emperor has led to no disturbance in this city ; all is perfectly quiet.

The Czarewitch has been received with shouts of acclamation by the people.

Expressions of condolence and sympathy with the Imperial family have been received from all the Crowned heads of of Europe.

The following are the particulars of the assassination of the Czar, who, accompanied by his suite, was witnessing a parade of troops in the city to-day:— A bomb was suddenly thrown from among the spectators and fell close to where he was standing. It exploded, but did no harm to His Majesty. A second bomb was thrown, and this shattered his legs and otherwise mortally wounded him. He was at once conveyed to a house near at hand, but His Majesty died within two hours from the loss of blood, though every effort was made by the doctors, who were in attendance, to stop the flow of blood. Great consternation was caused on the parade ground when the bombs were thrown, and when the effects of their explosion was seen. Several persons, including soxao members of the Czar's suite, were killed, and many others severely wounded. The assassin was arrested at the scene of the outrage before he had time to escape.
