The frigate which was lost in the midst of
this shocking catastrophe, had on board the Vice
Admiral Putiutin, engaged at the time in com
pleting the treaty between Russia and Japan.
She was at anchor in the j ort of Siraoda. From
the moment of the first shock of earthquake
the sea exhibited such a movement of eddying
end whirling, that in less than thirty minutes
the ship pirouetted round herself more thau
forty times, snapping and twisting all the chains
holding her. The motiou was so rapid that no
one on board could keep on his legs, and all
were seized with vertigo. When the sea re
tired, the frigate, which drew twenty-one feet
of water, was left in eight feet of water only.
On its return, the sea rose to the height of five
fathoms above its ordiuarv level, and iu again
retiring it left the frigate iu less than four feet
of water, so that the anchor stocks were visible
xne agitation oi tne oottoin oi the sea was so
great at the time, that the Diana, though only
m four feet of water, was borne to a great dis
tance. 1 ne omcers believed that the nort was
out to become the mouth of a submarine
cano ready to engulf them.
"Heu the frigate next found herself afloat
it was erceived that she was filling, and that
a e' aud 4ie rudder had been torn away,
and were floating alongside. ,. By passing sails
nuder the ship they succeeded in keeping her
anoat; and on the next dayj the sea having be-
c-i-"ny uroutrht the Tritratn into rWtv.
nje shtr were, aealhl fetc; tmt
ere not attended or aoy serious conae-
qucucc. ' "...
After having repaired damages as they
could, and constructed a temporal rudder,
the weather being fine again, they attempted
to bring the frigate into a bay less expo.sed,
and where they might more easily complete re
pairs. But when they were at a distance of
seven miles from Simoda, a tempest blew up.
The Japanese boats, to the number of over a
Luudred, which were towing the Diana, aban
doned her, after having, however, taken iu her
officers and crew; and shortly after the ship
was swallowed up in the sea. "Notwithstand
ing all their misfortunes aud the dangers
through which they had passed, they only lost
one man, and he was accidentally killed by
being jammed by one of the guns which had
gone adrift.
It mast be remarked, says the Korelist, that
tiie Diaufa, which was pursuing the Napoleon
III., was perfectly disposed to disregard the
neutrality of the port where the latter ship
was lying, and to capture her even in those
neutral waters if she could. The Freuch ves
sel, however, thanks to the rapid manoeuvres of
her captain, Lopez, had set sail and depar
parted from Simoda twelve hours before the ar
rival of the Russia rhip. The city of Simoda
has been so overthrown, that hardly a trace of
its streets is distinguishable. "

Attempted AasassinaUea of the Emperor Xapoleon.
Paris, April 29. At about half-past five
yesterday (Saturday) evening the Emperor
was proceeding at a slow pace np the grand
avenue ot the Champs Elysees accompanied
only by his aide-de-camp, Count Edgar Ney,
and Colonel V alabregue. It was a chilly eveii-
iug, aud there were not many people on the
parade at the time. When nearly opposite
No. 145 in the Champs Elysees, au assassin,
leaning against a lamp post to steady his aim,
fired a pistol at bis Majesty. The Emperor
slightly ducked his head aud spurred his horse.
n instant afterwards the man rushed for
wards and when within a few paces of him,
some say 10 or 12 paces, others 4 or 5 fired
a second shot. The ball is said to have passed
through the Emperor's hat.
Immediately after the second shot was ured
the regicide was seized by two men iu blouses,
who looked like operatives, but were, in fact,
agents, employed by M. Balestrino, director of
the seerct police. Almost at the same moment
a gendarme, a native of Corsica, named Ales-
saudriui, who, in the capacity of what is coin
mouly termed a "bull dog," was following the
Emperor in a brougham, accompanied by M.
Uirevoy, a commissary of police, rushed out of
the carriage with a drawn poniard, and flew at
the murderer, who, jt appears, resisted violent- i
ly. Whether as a means of disabliug him, or
whether accidently while laying hold of him,
may perhaps be doubtful but the fact is cer
tain that Alessandriui wounded the man with
his poniard. llis wounds were, however, not
serious, for he was able to aoswer the -interrogatories
-f the magistrate a nhort tfine after
wards. Immediately after the "second shot the
Emperor made his horse caper, and raised his
hat several times, smiling, to show he was not
hurt. A few minutes after the event Liverani
was placed in a hack carriage and con eyed to
the guard-house outside the Barrier de 1' Etoile.
The Emperor proceeded on towards the Bais
de Boulogne, and a few yards outside the Are
de FEtoile he met the Empress in a carriage,
lie turned his horse and accompanied her back
to the Tuileries down the grand avenue of the
Champ Elysces. The Empress did not appear
to comprehend the meaning of the unusually
loud cheers which greeted the Emperor as he
passed along, and from her apparent gaity peo
ple supposed that the Ji,mit-ror had not told
her what had passed.
The prisoner was taken to the prefecture of
lolice, and there interrogated. He denied
that he had any accomplices, but said that
numbers had sworn ou oath to do what he only
had courage to attempt, lie declared that he
had flourished the project ever since the siege
of Rome.-
Paris, April 30. Yesterday, in reply to the
congratulatory address of the Senate, the Em
peror said : "I fear nothing from the hands
of assassins,
instruments
long as I shall not have fulfilled the work np
oIuted to me, I shall be iu no danger." The
Emperor has forbidden an formal manifesta
tions; but was received with cheering yester
day on taking his accustomed ride.
The Daily News correspondent, writing on
the e veiling of Monday, the 30th, says: The
real name of the assassin is not Liverani, but
Piauori. He had procured a passport in a false
name, lie was however, as 1 stated yesterday,
a native of Faenza. lie was a volunteer at
Rome under Garibaldi.

TheFhencm Empress. The London corres
pondent of the Portland Argus, who was lately
presented to the Empress Eugenie, says:
."The Empress is certainly a very attractive
person. She has perfect self-possession, pleas
ing manners, and a graceful person. They
both speak English; bnt she was ouce at school
in England, and speaks much better English
than the Emperor."
The. Loudon Morninir Post was very great,
duriur the late imperial visit, nnou matters of
dress; ami is regarded as high authority upon i
all questions connected vjith that important ,
subject. This journal says:
"Iu regard to the much-mooted " question as
to whether a bonnet should be worn on the
head or off it. it may not be amiss to take ad-
"4 vantage of the actual presence of her imperial
Majesty, who is said to have introduced this
popular feminine eccentricity, to place on record
that, although the bonnet of the Empress Eu
genie displays fully her face and hair, it docs
not Convey to the beholder the idea of its, being
likely to fall from the head behind, but rather
seems to cling to and support the' hair in that
position. v This gives a lightness and grace of
carriage to the head totally distinct from that
boldness and barefaceduess which have charac
terized the English adoption of tbe French im

-We have seen a statement in one'Of our New
York exchanges, which goes to show how it
has become the fashion of the times to make in
corporated or chartered companies the instru
ments of accumulating individual wealthy There
are a couple of steamship companies in New
York, styled the. Pacific Mail aud Nicaragua
Trausit Company, both of them actually losing
inouey, although there fTs busiuesOhdaglTTor 1
both. The stockholders, lost money, but the
managers and employees are growing rich. The
cause of this misdirection and sacrifice of pri
vate capital is plain enough. The policy pur
sued is, to give to the manager superintendents,
agents, eet. who have no stock or other pecuni
ary interest in the company, perquisitesvjboi)
usscs aud commissions on the gross business,
and not on the net profits of the con4er
These commissions are represented to be a"

We will give a few facts from the reoort of the
Committee of Investigation of the PaciGcJdail
Company on the causes of the failure of divi
dends for some two years.
The house of William H. Aspinwall received
$84,328, for nineteen mouths, or over 1 fifty
thousand dollars n year as commissions from
au sources at i;onie ana abroad. The same
house received $70,302 during the same nine
teen months for their agency at New York,
being commissions on advances. Included in
the charge was the sum of $15,500, merely fr
collecting marine losses from the underwriters,
during the above period.
Iu the case of the Nicaragua Transit Com
pany, there were facts elided equally extra
ordinary. The sums paid to agents, counsel
and other functionaries, were in the tens and
fifties of thousands per annum, and it was show 11
that the San Francisco Agent of the Company
received au income of one hundred thousand
dollars per anuum from a corporation that was
not able- to declare dividends to its stockholders

figures, who rushed on the unfortunate French
men who had thus nobly endeavored to avenge
the death of the English sailor. They fired and
made a gallant stand for some time uutil the
overwhelming numbers bore them down, stabb
iug and clubbing them without mercy. Soon
after, some canvasses passing by, the ruffiaus
to the rescue of their fellow murderer, but not
without leaving two of the Frenchmen dead.
The third lived just long enough to make his
statement to the police, who instantly searched
all the neighboring houses, courts, and alleys,
but without finding anything suspicious.
"A former member of the Baden Volunteer
Corps who has been obtaining a scanty liveli
hood here .by executing all sorts of commissions,
whereby he not uulreqiieiitiy came 111 contact
with some of the scum of all nations, voluuteer
ed to find the hannt of this mysterious gang, and
as he could be generally depended upon, "his
tender was accepted, and a dagger and a re
volver given him for protection. On the morn
ing of the 9th he was found dead outside of
Pera. A cauvass who had also volunteered to
solve the mystery likewise fell a victim, and
was picked up one morning covered with dagger-
wounds and pertectly deau.
' Un the tlth, However, me mystery was
solved. It happened as follows : A Pole of
the name of Glabaez, and an Italian, Pisani by
name, happened to occupy the same room
The Italian led a very iree aim easy lire, was
seldom at home, arid docs not appear to have been
a novice in gambling either. Alter having been
out all nijrlit, I issani entered tneir common
dwelling ou the morning of the 10th, with de
jected look, which caused his friend the Pole to
demand of him what ill iuck ne nad had
Pisani auswered, that he had lost all his cash
that night, at play, and had even to leave his
gold watch as security for a borrowed sum,
ttdtlinST 'I shall go and redeem my watch directly.
or the rascally host will change it, I would not
lose that watch for the world. Hang these
nameless streets and uumberles houses!
should despair of finding the cabaret again but
for a clever trick of miue: as I left the house
I cut a large cross on the house door with my
knife. That is my only guide, but it is a mark
which the old rogue cannot easily efface.' He
took all his money and every valuable trinket
lie possessed, ad .departed dcterjppdto
ii or wln'bU mouey back. -
"Glabaez had a presentment that something
would go wrong, and determined to go in search
of his friend if Ire did , saot make his appearance
Iy next morning. Morning came, but no Pisani;
and Glabaez, therefore, set out to carry his
resolution into effect, lie had wandered about
fruitlessly for about half an hour, when he eu
tered a small cabaret to refresh himself with a
glass of rum. He gave the host a piastre, aud
demanded his change in paras iu one of these
paras he had only the day before scratched his
name with a nail, and recognised it as belong
ing to Pisani, who must have given away that
para. He therefore entered into conversation
with the gin-shop Keeper; asKea nim wnetner
au Italian had been there lately, aud whether
he played at his house. The man evaded the
questiou; and the man appeared altogether so
odd. that Glabaez quietly took his departure,
n order to have a look at the street door, feure
enough, there was the cross hurriedly scratched
on the outside, lurmug into tbe next street,
he met a file of policemen attending on some
arabas, which coutained the bodies of those who
bad fallen victims in the past : night. ; There
were fourteen corpses. Of these, seven were
English, four were French; Pisani lay lifeless
there, too. No doubt could now exist as to
who the perpetrators of all these crimes were,
and where their den was; and on, that same
day their whole premises were surrounded by
military, who effected the capture of fifteen men
and eight women, .all of whom will, no doubt
meet with the puuishment they so richly de-
triplicate by the commandaut of the respective yanfc;

Iu attributing such valuable Medical properties to

illustrious origina or. Dr. lloofiaud. among all clashes
of Europeaii societies aud from the immense mass of
testimony, from all parts of the American continent,
accumulated during the last ten years, in the hauds
of the present proprietor. The prevalence of diseases
to which the German Hitters are adapted, it is with
sorrow we say it. is almost universal, indeed there is
scarcely a family throughout the hole extent of our
country in which there canuot lie found among its
members that peculiar salloxo and languid apptarutice
denoting a diseased Liver, or an emaciated und suffer
ing Dvsptptic.
Then of what immense importance to this class of
invalids that a certain and reliable remedy thould be
placed within their reach; one iu which no buneful or
injurious drug enters iuto its composition; a remedy
ou which the patient can rely with the utmost confi
dence and certaiuty and be assured from actual and
tangible proofs, that the article he is using really
possesses the virtues attributed to it. Such a remedy
is "Hoofland s German Bitters." Thousands of dol
lars have been expended in its manufactury and diffu
sion throughout all parts of this continent, and the
proprietor feels the greatest satisfaction in staling,
that there is no state, county or even village where the
Medicine has been introduced, that there canuot Le
fouud numbers, willing to testify to its virtues.
It is used constantly iu the practice of a lage number
of the most prominent Physicians in the country, who
have also added their written testimony, in evidence of
its great virtues. In conclusion then, we would re
