The would-be assassin is an Italian named piaiiozi, and was a volunteer in Geribaldi'sar " li'J was in London during the Emperor's "hit and would have made the attempt there, ■j' hc had not been prevented by the concourse of people- The Euiberor proceeded upon his 'and visited the opera comiqve in the even •",r and was greeted by an immense outbreak oHovaltv and enthusiasm. The Kmperor decided not to receive any for- I of congratulation, though an ex tiou was made in regard to the British resi p, 'it* in Paris. The Corporation of Loudon also adopted an address. Piaiiozi was in close confinement, and will be tried about the middle of May. The Fusionist and Orleanist papers publish the official accounts from the Moniteur, without ;l word of comment. The cause of the attempt was understood to be private revenge. No thing of a political character has been discov ered. Earthquake in Simoda. One of the Ixtrgrst Cities in the Empire De it rotted — Extraordinary Experiences oj a Hussion Frigate. From the North China Herald Extraordinary we take the subjoined interesting news from la pa n : We have been favored from a private source with the following extracts of a letter from an officer of the United States steamer Pow hattan. •• The island of Xiplion, in which Simoda is situated, was visited, on the 23d of December, bv a severe earthquake, which was most dis astrous in its effects. The city of Ohosaea, one of the largest in the empire was completely laid waste. Jeddo itself suffered considerably, hut has since suffered more seriously from the effects of an extensive conflagration. The town of Simoda, on our arrival, presented a complete scene of desolation and ruin. After the shock of the earthquake, the sea commenced bubbling up a> it were along the shore, and then reced ed with great rapidity, and as soon returned with such increased volume as to flood the ' whole town to the depth of six or seven feet, 1 >,vn ping away houses, bridges, and temples, j and piling them up in a mass of ruin. •• Five times during the day did the sea j advance and recede in this manner, spreading desolation far and wide. The largest junks in the harbor were driven from one to two miles above high water mark, where we saw them lying high an 1 dry. About 200 of the jioor in-' inhabitants lost "their lives bv the overflow, the { remainder saving themselves by fleeing to the mountaius with which the town is surrounded. " The Russian frigate Diana, having Yiee- Admiral Pontiatine on board, was lying in the harbor at the time, engaged in finishing up the treaty they had made with the Japanese.— Immediately after the shock was felt, the water in the harbor became convulsed to such a degree in eddies and whirlpools, that in the spare of thirty minutes she swung entirely round forty three times twisting her chains up into knots: so rapid was the motion that the people on board could not keep their feet and all were made giddy. When the sea receded it left the frigate in eight feet water on her side, when her usual draft was over twenty one feet, t>u its return, it is stated, the water rose five fathoms above its ordinary level. "On its again receding, four feet only of water remained, so that they saw the stocks of their anchor above the water. The heaving of the bottom of the bay was then so violent that the frigate—although, as I said, in only four feet of water—was moved bodily past her anchor. The officer momentarily expected that the bay would become the outlet of the sub terranean fires, and that they would lie engulph ed in it. When the frigate again floated they saw her keel and rudder, which had been wrenched off, floating alongside, and the ship filling with water. 15y getting sails under her, they managed to get her afloat, and the next day, things having keep quiet once more, they hauled her into deejKir water. Occasional shocks of earthquake still continued to befell, hut none were atteuded with serious conse quences. " After repairing damages as well as they could, and having rigged a temporary rudder, and the weather becoming fiuo, they attempted to take the ship around to another bay, where the would be less exposed, and they would complete repairs (Simoda being badly adapted for .such a purpose ;) but when within seven miles of their harbor a gale sprung up—the hundred Japanese boat that were towing them abandoned them (not, however, till they had got out all of the officers and crew.) and shortly after the gallant ship sunk in deep water, the officers and men saving only the clothes they stood in. Notwithstanding all their misfortunes and the dangers through wiiioh they passed, they only lost one man, and lie was aecidently killed by being jammed I'}' one of the guns which had gone adrift." ESCAPE OK EIGHT CONVICTS. —Eight convicts cn aj M |j from the Auburn State Prison between '•land 4 o'clock this afternoon. They made their egress through, the south wall by a hole which had evidently cost them time and labor to make. In order to make their escape, after getting 'hroogh the wall, they were compelled to swim 'he Owasco outlet, which in such an inclement 'by as this, must have so completely chilled 'vein as to render theui incapable of making HTV SWIFT progress. *• S.

Sullivan and Lycoming, has the pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful invention. The liive is truly a great improvement on the old square box ; and the facilities it aflords for taking out the honey are as harmless to the bees, as they are profita ble to the owner. No resort to droms and pans is needed to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim stone, tire and fagot is required to conquer the l>ees and procure their lionev in the fall. As the bees multiply, new sections are added to the hive ; and when the honey is wanted, they arc returned accordingly. The arrange ments for feeding the bees, for changing them to different parts of the old hive, or to a new one. for ventilation, are unquestionqbly ahead of anything hitherto known. A description of this Hive is impossible, without refer ence to a model, but an examination will satisfy unv one ol its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights, with books, bill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma king the Hive, and managing the Bees. May 1,1855. GEORGE S. KEEN. SSO 0 REWARD!
