The Foreign i Office and Russian Embassy here did not receive the news of the Czar’s death until 6 o’eloek this afternoon. Condon, Nov. 2. A special from Lividia, says at 1 o’eloek yesterday morniug tbe Czar expressed a wisb to see the Czarewitch, and for several minntes conversed with him in low earnest tones while the attendants withdrew, The Czarewitch replied in few words and bent down and kissed his father’s lips. Then * tle emperor asked all his ehil- ; dren to eome to his side. In a weak but perfectly audible voice the dying man addressed ; his children, anel then taking the hand of tbe Empress ho for the first time since his illness showed i signs of deep emotion. After this the Caar seemed »omewbat more cheerful and fre- ' quently addressed words of eomfort to the £mpress, who had not j l.<l l.!u uM. - rp 1 - o .-Vluv& brealhing heeame ruore lr.bored, and a violent fit of coughing i brought on a slight hemorrhage. This was followed by faintness. When this had partially passed away, the Czar turned to speak onee more to the family, but the Empress, who was supporting him, could not hear the words. and almost immediately afterwards he sighed deeply and ceased to breatbe. H is end was raost peaceful. London, Nov. 3. In a leader ; i this morning the Daily Xeirs says j ; Czar Nicholas conld uot begiu better. If he fol!ows in his father s footsteps it will be well for I!ussia and Europe, It cost America a oivil war to get rid of her slavery system. lt was Russia,s good fortune to get rid of serfdom without the spilling of b!ood. This is one of tbe casual advantages by whieh despotism sometimes exouses its existence to maukind. It will be easy for Russia if she is left in peaee to outgrow the conditions whieh excuse despotism of any kind. Berlio ; Nov. 3.
