Mario and Grisi were prevented from singing at
Brighton last Saturday evening, owing to a severe domestic
affliction. They have list their youngest daughter, only four
years of age. The family were eta' ing all the winter at the
Royal Albion Hotel, and at the end of March they left for
Fulham, all the children being in robust health. During
their stay at Fulham they were seized with illness, and the
youngest one never rallied. She waa reduced to a shadow
when taken to Brighton at the early part of last week, and
the family were in lodgings on the Marine Parade. The
child died last Saturday morning, and Madame Grist and
M. Mario have since returned to London, deeply afflicted
with their loss.

LOUIS BLANC AT HALIFAX. —Last night, MOM.
Louis Blanc lectured in the Mechanic' Hall. After some
introductory remarks by Mr. J. D. Hutchinson, the lecturer
proceeded with his subject :—" The mysterious personages
and agencies in France during the 18th century." Then
followed a brilliant rental of the predisposing causes of the
great French revolution ; and standing out in bold relied,
was perceived at every turn, the po -limit of Cog-
liostro, the politician, the philosopher, the enthis.
Mast, the conjuror i in fact, the chameleon of his
times. M. Blanc's vosce is most musical, and the extreme
earnestness of his manner, coupled with an occasional slight
but telling gesture, suggest the easy conversetionalid, and
the perfect orator. Hu oration, which was listened to with
the utmost attention, lasted nearly two hours, and a h
burst of applause greeted the conclusion. Edward Alt
Esq., moved a vote of thanks to M. Blanc, observing
Feg/and would ever be ready to afford shelter to such men
as tile one who hail so eloquently addressed them. sod who
had not only won for himself a name in the annals of history,
but wee beloved by all knew him. Mr. A. C. Fader
seconded the motion, which was carried enthusiastically.
and the meeting separated.—Halifax Guardian.

The SCEAMYL FAMILY. —A letter from Moscow,
of the 3rd inst., givesthefollowin7detailarespecting the family
of Schamyl :—"The Limn Schamyl has two wives, Zeidote
and Chouanate. The first is about thirty years ell ; she is not
handsome, but is very well educated, and canines peat
influence over her husband, who consulted her on his most
important affair% previous to his surrender to the Radium.
The following fact affords a proof of her influence over
Schamyl :—The linen wished to marry his daughters,
Naphisate and Estimate, by a former wife, to two of the
mat influential Naibs in Onassis. ficharoyl, at his wife's
desire changed his decision, and married his daughters to
two of his wife's brothers. This circumstance produced •
very bad effect on the mountaineers. The Naibs resolved
to revenge themselves, and they did so on the first oppor-
tunity, when he was finally attacked by the Russians.
SchanyEs ee.',ind wife is handsome ; she idolises her hus-
band, and concentrates her entire affections between him
and her daughter Sophilte. Chusnate looks on Zeidote as
a dangerous rival, and uses all her efforts to compete with
her in Linos. The wife of Kai-Nagoma, Schemers
eldest son, is extremely beautiful. The wife of Sehamyla
"emit son, who holds isfeammission in a Russian Lancer
regiment, is likewise hitremelv handsome. Sehamyl's
daughter Fatimate, who is married to the brother of Zeidote,
is but fifteen can of age, and her husband seventeen.
Schamyl has likewise three younger deughters—Dfajeonate,
Bachon-Mossedon, and Sophiste. The first is extremely
beautiful, but club-footed, which causes her father great
pain, as he is devotedly attached to his family. The ladies
of Kalouga, where the celebrated prisoner resides, visit his
wives and daughters. When Schamyl is present at these
visite the Circassian ladies cover their faces with their veils.
A Russian lady asked Schamel to permit the likenesses of
his family to be taken, to which he cemented on condition
that their portraits should be taken by a lady. This condi-
Lion was complied with, and the likenesses were executed.''
