SCHAMYL AND HIS SON,

IT OP TUN DAILY HMIS.)

Within the last few weeks, Sehamyl ha been re,
juiced by the return of his son who, eleven years s.
when of tender age, had the misfortune to be taken prim,
by the Russians. Since then Schtunyl bed nut Milder the
boy, and long ago gave him up for lost. It appease, how.,

ever, that when he wu captured the Russian general,
Prince Woronsoff, sent him to St. Petersburg, where tits
late Emperor took a liking to the lad and had him educated
in the Military ♦cdemy.
It happened last year that fithamyl, in some sudden say.
prise, took several Russian ladies prisoners, amongst whom
was the Princess Tscharawaddy. They were conducted to
one of Schaenyrs mountain fastnesses and unasked there

as prisoners of war, but treated with the respect and
decorum due to their rank and sex. The Governor. Geneml
of Tiflis sent a flag of truce to Sammy' to demand the re.
lease of the captured ladies, offering a large sum of money
and the liberty of several Circassian ladies who had been
made prisoners by the Russians. But Schamyl replied that
if his son were alive, and the Russians would restore him,
he would release all the lady captive.. The Rmperor
Nicholas sent for young Schatnyl, gave him his liberty, and
fitted him out with the needful equipment to undertake the
long journey. The exchange took place in the end of h.
unary. Young Sehamyl, who, when at St. Petersburg, was
not required to abjure the Moslem creed, has prcfited by hi
involuntary a6our at the Russian capital, and has now re.
turned to his overjoyed father an aeoomplished cavalier,
with a comparatively civilised education. It is said that ha
entertains great gratitude to the Emperor for his persona
treatment, and it is not impossible that his return to kis
native mountains may have an effect on the future mode of
Circassian warfare, and the introduction of more cirilieed
manners and customs generally amongst his countrymen.

The following was related to me by one of the Prussian
officers of the 6th Cuirassiers (Emperor of Russia), who were
sent in the year 1842 to St. Petersburg as a deputation front
the regiment to congratulate the Czar on his having been
five•and•twenty years colonel of that corm. Nicholas, who
received the officers with marked distinction, took them to
propna persona to inspect his different military establish.
meats, and amongst others to the School for Cadets, where
all the lads were drawn up in the long hall. The Emperor,
dewily followed by the Prussian officers, walked down the
line when he suddenly stopped before one of the youngest
cadets, patted his cheeks with both hands, and then lilting
him up kissed him most affectionately. Then, turning to
the Prussians, he said : " Gentlemen, you will never guess
who this lad is. He is the son of my most bitter enemy, the
Circassian chieftain Schamyl, who has placed him under my
cars for his education !"

JENNY LIND IN HOLLAND.

(Paola •

OP TUB DAILY PEWS.)

According to common aoceptation, Jenny Lind—
really one feel► a restraint in calling her by any other
than that familiar name—has resumed profeuional life for a
time, in order to raise thereby an endowment fund for an
hospital in Stockholm.

With her arrival in Holland came the sad news of those
recently fearful inundations which, in the provinces of
Gelderland and North Brabant, destroyed about three
thousand dwellings, and made thirteen thousand of their
inhabitants homeless. On bearing the sad particulars,
Jenny Lind immediately offered to give a series of concerts,
the profits of which should be devoted to the Patriotic Fond

- .
Row being formed for the relief of the sufferers. The first
has already taken place at Amsterdam. As soon as Jemmy
Lind appeared in the concert-room the audience roes
en mane, knowing no bounds to its enthusiasm. When
she had finished her part the orchestra struck
up the Swedish National Anthem, and six children
of the most distinguished families of the city advanced to-
, wards Jenny Lind, to ask her acceptance of a garland, a
bouquet, and • testimony of thanks on the part of the
audience, written in the Swedish and Dutch languages. It
is proverbially difficult to move a Dutch audience to tears or
smiles, but on this occasion the audience was completely
" beside itself ;" tears and smiles in one breath, clapping of
hands, stamping of feet—in short, every possible method
that admiration could invent for giving itself expression was
here adopted. It would require a far abler pen than that
of your correspondent to describe " the power of her
charmed voice "—nothing approaching it had ever before
been heard in Holland. It has now become the torn of the
public of Holland to undergo all the stages of the heel
Lind fever. The profits of her Amsterdam concert amounted
to about 4801.
