"A 81. petersburg letter gives the following FUR
ther particulars respecting Schamyls stay in the
| Russian capital:
''On the day Of his arrival a compact crowd bad
collected round the entrance of the hotel where he
lodged, and all the points where it expected he
would pass IN gong to visit the chief authorities
He appeared quite at his ease--in no way discOn-
certed. His manners appeared noble and digniiied.
He has INTEL igent look, and the general express
sion Of his countenance announces energy and the
habit OF command. Ills figure is tall and upright,
notwithstanding his advanced age. The next day
Schamyl and his son had the honor of being pre-
sented to the Empress and the Hereditary Grand
Duke at Isarkoeselo. The presentation lasted only
a few minutes. 1t is said that be was great
ly affected and looked pale. Schamyl went after
wards to see the Museums Of Natural History and
of the Academy Of Sciences. In the evening he
was at the Italian Opera, in the box of Prince Ana
tOle Baryatinski, brother to the cOmmander-in-
chief OF the army Of the Caucasus. Nine. Charlton
Demeure sang the part of AAiHH in the 'SOnpam-
bula' The scene where she comes down the ladder
from the mill produced great effect on the Kazi
Mahemet, the lman's son. Schamyl is enchanted
with all he in Russia. Had | known your
country soOner,' said he, had seen all now see,
| should have made my submission long since
Well said, certainly, but perhaps the avowa may
not be altogether sincere. The Imam is evidentya
clever man. His answers betoken considerable
0orOpOs When asked What had most pleased him
in Russia, Schamyl replied, 'the kind reception Of
the Emperor" "

The following advertisement appears in the
Richmond Wig:
$4,000 RewAED.-Joshua r. Giddings having
openly declared himself a traitor, in lecture at
Philadelphia, on the 2Sth of October and there
being no process. strange to say, by which he can
be brought to justice, propose to be one of one
hundred to raise $4,000 for his safe delivery in
Richmond, $4,000 for the production of his head
| do not regard this proposition, extraordinary as
it may first seem, either unjust unmerciful. The
law of God and the Constitution of his country,
both condemn him to DEATH
For satisfactory reasons | withhold my name
from the public but it is in the hands of the editor
of the Richmond Whig There will he no difficulty,
| am sure, in raising the $4,000 upon a reasonable
prospect of getting the said Giddings to this city.
Richmond, Nov. ], 1859.
About the most remarkable piece of brutality
we have ever heard of, perpetrated on Thurs
day evening, in Cincinnati. Some persons un-
known, caught little daughter of MIR. Charles
Reth, only two years old stripped and covered
her from head to foot with tar, and let her nd her
home in that condition. No cause is assipned--
The father had offered reward of $50 for the vii
lains.
Mr.. Greeley seems to have got into another
difficulty. The Tribune of Friday, having insinua-

was partly spent by the State officers and their
TOOLS for the purchase of liquor which themselves
drank, the Secretary of State, Mr. Gideon J.
Tucker, sout in card, calling upon the editor
to put the charge in such personal shape as viii
enable him (the Secretary to reach it, and him
lthe editor an opportunity of proving or retract-
ing it.
The DR., Bennett divorce case is again exciting
attention in New Haven. Mrs Bennett has asked
permission OF the Court to take her two children
out of the State. The decision of the Court was,
that she should have the custody of the children,
but that she should continue to reside in the State
of Connecticut, and that DR.. Bennett should at all
times have permission to see them. She now petit
tions to be allowed to remove to Minnesota, to re-
side with her sister, claiming that she cannot well
support herself in Connecticut. Mr.. Bennett has
published card deprecatng her attempt to remove
the children.
