A THRILLING STORV-biNCIDENT« OF RUSSIA* . On the 22d of May, 1641, a batrillion of llio mil- 1 ilury colony, established ill Nuvogorod,‘was dfawn up on the public ground adjoining thd extensive barracks, constructed in the most ancient and soli* lory, portion of tho city, near the church ol St.. So* phis* la front of the ranks stood Gen. L , a lull man oflifty, remarkable for his creel carriage, meagre* ness, sallow complexion, and large gray, restless eyes. He was known throughout the. camp for his bravery, of which ho had given many brilliant proofs| in the campaigns of Turkey and Persia; it was clear; that domestic infelicities hold soared his temper, or ■ that his heart had become hiirdciicd by the frequent applications of a discipline, degrading in Its nature, ond often horrible; in lU'effects. Gon,L—T-.had become a terror lo tho soldiers, and scarcely! a day. passed in which his command was not signalized by ocls of such severity as well deserved to bo culled ferocious. It was knownthot-this man cherished a profound t attachment for a yooog girl, the daughter of an old companion in arms, killed in battle* Ho adopted the orphan child, brought her up with care, and never allowed her to bo separated from liiim And she, though grateful for llio kihdricis of her father, by adoption,.was not the less governed by an irresls. liblo feeling of constraint when la his presence, the result of his stern brevity ofspccch, imperious man* nor, and cold seventy of aspect. She was known among the troops by the expressive name of . Solo wteva (Nightingale,) given lo her in recognition of (ho grace with which,she sang tho wild pathetic ballads of the Slavonians. Bderwievai (d please tho Ocnorat, appeared at the reviews. One day she was silling at a window of (he Genurul*s quarters, in s rooriTon the ground floor, whchco her eye ranged .along (ho extended ranks'—and a'bright ffush uverspreac her Testate* «a her glanee rested for a moment on the handsome features of a young .surgeon-major, Ivan Poiavoi, whoso manly form was sol off* lo a rare advantage by tho simple uniform of iris military grade* Gun. L* passed and ro passed along the front lino of tho battalion without a single word, but with u frowning brow and un angry expression on his ten* lures, for hoperccived that some ot the men were absent. Suddenly was heard (lie slow and mufHvd beat of a drain, and from (ho'cjtlretimy.of lire pit in. Was seen advancing a bind ofsoldiers,each carrying in his hand one of those long, rods which are still used in the Russian service ns the tool of a hateful punishment. At this sight (bo General turned in .amazement lotus aids, und in a voice of thunder dew lira tided who had given the order, and who was to be the victims- ' A sergeant, conspicuous.by his scarred and livid countenance, darted before the. General, snalclioJ from him ids sword, ■(ruck him on. the face, and coolly answered, • You .J* At iheto words an elcotrro shock worried to pass along.the rankb, sod a gloum of lute lighted up the habitually passionless features of the mun, By a spontaneous movement, the officers advanced from the lino to the rescue uf their commander; but in u moment they, were seized, thrown Ip the ground r and menaced by half a score of bayonets, Ivan was alone exempted, for hie liumunily had won fur him the affection oflhe troop*. Agrensrticr who aloud near him, whispered in his ear* .•Whether the nightingale sings or remains silent, do not move. A word* n single step, and you are dead.* t.‘ Recovering from his stupor, Gen, h. grasped with each hand one of the huyoimts pointed ut his breast, turned them aside with a powerful effort. and cried out, with a ferocious glance along the lino* ‘To your knees, vilo brutes, and beg fur mercy, or (here will not bo skin enough on -your backs to expatiate for your crimes.'• A suv igo chuckle Was the answer to this throat, and tlio sergeant, with frightful tranquility,’which indicator) a settled purpose,;suld— •Kvery. one of us knows the doom that awaits him, and is prepuce! to encriftaa his life, When your scntcnco is fulfilled, we shall go before Gcn.Huvoff, tlio Governor of Novogotd; wo shall lay at his foot your sword* hell, orders, nod what remains of your body, and wo shall say to him, 'Gun; L» was a tiger} wo have sMn him; hero are our weapons, wo await our punishment."' And thus saying,> the sergeant loro away (ho General's epaulettes and trampled them under his feel. ‘These decorations belong not to you,* ho conlln. nod; *u knot should be borne by the executioner.— ! Remember the soldier Dalakoff, scourged with rods ■ for having been a moment 100 luto In presenting arms. Remember the old subattcran, who, for a spot on his uniform, was ordered by u from the ranks, and struck upon the face .with your whip, until tlio blood ran. down Ilia cheeks. , The unuapny mno, frantic,with rage’ and pain, lifted his hand in roils, lance, and fur (Ids he was Hogged, and sont, raslmod and dying, to Siberia.' The sergeant, wldU;ho spoke, had continued, with a terrible composure, to strip the General of his bolt, his coat, and Ids'pnder garments. •Thai subaltern, like mykoU? boro the name or GucdonuSi wo wero born In the same oovol—he was my brother/ •. , Spite , of his indomitabla. firmness, the General could not refrain from shuddering as he listened to the fparftd'accusatfon.so eloquent In its oultn sim* pllclly, so passionless in its, brevity. As- for Solo* wlova, she had looked-on at firsl'wilh vague wonder, unable to comprehend the scene that.passed before her;'but when she saw the General deprived of hi* sword, his uniform torn away,-his form exposed— then ebb began to perceive the purpose of his assail ants and to understand that ho wus* doomed to re ’ ce jvi the dfcgradlng punishment' he lihd'so oftbnln nicted. Seized with horror, she rose to her fool, clasped hot hands in supplication, and shnoked in i tdrror and despair. . ~ , , 1 Ivan had till this-moment stood motionless, and 1 silent* but he could not'resist the angulH. of her he ■ loved.

Ortb of his aids appeared at the barracks of tho mutineers, and ordered them to parade the next morning, in fatlgbo dress and with out their weapons, In the small square at the western end of tho : city. They replied by their invariable karaoiio, (good,) pul bn their long gray coals and I round caps, and.oiled limit moustaches as for an on [dinary field day; then, pale, silent, and with while lips, but keeping perfect order in their ranks, they i traversed the city between two files of Cossacks, fol lowed by the terrified gaze of the inhabitants. On (heir arrivol Inlh'o square,they posted thomsclvcs in solemn columns, noiselessly and without confusion. The drums boat—the bolls of tho''churches pealed forth, a solemn clang—and the'batteries of cannon, ; planted in (ho avenues (hat led into the square, open ed upon, them a deadly, fire of grape shot. Each . discharge was succeeded by a shout, a multitudinous groan, with which were mingled the wild songs of j those who prided themselves ori'dying who j know ho fear. Three hours (he fire was kept up; and when, at tho close, the executioners of this awfol sentence traversed the place through o lake ofblood, .

Fleet Sight of Jerusalem* Taken os u whole, Jerusalem is one of the most Hl-built,‘complicated Eastern towns 1 evcr'vlsiled ; largo portions of the Hill of Acra are completely waist and encumbered with ruins. The Hill ol Ziun literally, us prophecy foretold it, “'ls ploughed us u field.” the streets are dirty and unusually narrow ; in many oflhem yoUf meet large ftiglrts ol* steps ex tremely difficult to mount or descend or horseback ; the buildings arc for (he inosljJurl moan and squalid. The streets, slier nightfall, are wholly in tho pos session of the Turkish sentinels end hordes of prowl ing dogs; the litter, fortunately fur the inhabitants, acting as public scavengers. .By day, within the Walls, tbere Is little more, than one unvarying scene of lifeless inactivity} without tho gales tho picture is still-more lonely; s stray fellah,u few women let ching water from Siluam, a stealthy Jew nr wander ing Bodaweo, comprise the chief living objects to be mot with in our solitary walks/.

Ho says no sum of money, however large, no temptation hold out, sulficienlly strong, would induce tho divers to descend into the ocean unless two shark-charmers were present, who, as they believe, by moans of their charms and potent spells, can prevent the finny mon- Ktcra of the deep from injuring tho pearl seekers.— One of these imposters goes out in tho pilot's boat and remains at tho houd of it, muttering a prescribed form of inoanlsUon ns each man descends to bravo the penis of the vasty deep. Tho other shark charmer slays on shore, where ho is shut up in n room in a stale of nudity until tho boats return with their divers. A largo brazen bowl is left with him, I filled with water, in which arc placed (wo silver fishes, audit is affirmed that tho moment a shark i appears in (ho vicinity of the divers, (hose fishes . agitate (he water, and ifan'occidonl Is about to hap. iron, one fish will bile tho other. When lie perceives ' BUC indications, the olmriber Immediately "binds the shark" with u potent spell, and thus compels the creature to abstain from injuringtlio divers. Those shark-charmers reap an abundant harvest during the fishery, ns the natives bollbvo that unless they are liberally remunerated they will exert their powerful ■polls.to muko |h« sharks Injure them, Instead of oombelting tho monsters to remain quiet until (ho pearl fishery la over. Il l* rather singular that, al. thoogli sharks are frequently se6n by the divers, an accident rarely happens, and numberless fisheries tfbvo taken place without* a single accident occur-’ rlnjg.
