Ossawatomio Brown was put upon his trial at
Charlestown, Virginia, on the 27th ult., the Court
having refused, after hearing testimony to his phy-
sical condition and appeals of counsel in his behalf,
to pospone the case. Copland, the negro conspi-
rator from Oberlin, has made a full confession, but
the revelations are withheld from the public for the
present.
Ihe prisoners Brown and Edwin Coppie were
manacled together. Brown seemed weak and hag
gard, with eyes swollen from the effects of wounds
on the head. Coppie is uninjured. Stephens seemed
less injured than Brown, but looked haggard and
depressed. Both have a number of wounds on the
head. John Copland is a bright mulatto, about 25
years old, and Shields Green is a dark negro, aged
about 30.
Sheriff Campbell read the commitment of the
prisoners, who were charged with treason and
murder.
Mr. Harding, the attorney for the State, asked
that the Court might assign counsel for the pri-
soners, if they had none.
The Court then inquired if the prisoners had
counsel.

A complete cooking battery for 5,000 men is in
course of construction in the carriage department
of Woolwich Arsenal, and is ordered by the Com-
mander-in-Chief to be completed with the utmost
possible speed for service with the troops in China.
Capt. Grant has been requested to direct the for-
mation of the equipment upon the plan of his am-
bulatory boilers and pontoon kettles, which have
been tested with so much satisfaction to the army,
th,! authorities of the War Department, and the
Sanitary Committee of Inspection. They are to be
fitted on six artillery waggons, and when finished,
according to the approvedsystem already thoroughly
tested, they will form the most efficient method of
military cooking which has ever been devised for
an army in the field. The plan of trench cooking

termed by the inventor "pontoon kettles," is • con-

In reply, Brown addressed the Court as follows :
" Virginians,—l did not ask for any quarter at the
time I was taken. I did not ask to have my life
spared. The Governor of the State of Virginia ten-
dered me his assurance that I should have a fair
trial; but under no circumstances whatever will I
be able to have a fair a trial. If you seek my blood
you can have it any moment without this mockery
of a trial. I have had no counsel—l have not been
able to advise with anyone. Iknow nothing about the
feelings of my fellow prisoners, and am utterly unable
to attend in any way to ozir., • ant
don't serve me—my health is , ttinoug
improving. There are mitigating circumstances
that I would urge in our favour if a fair trial is to
be allowed us ; but if we arc to be forced with a
mere form—a trial for execution—you might spare
yourselves that trouble. I am ready for my fate.
Ido not ask a trial. I beg for no mockery of a trial
—no insult—nothing but that which conscience
gives, or cowardice would drive ycu to practise. I
ask again to be excused from the mockery of a trial.
I do not even know what the special design of this
examination is. I do not know what is to be the
benefit of it to the commonwealth. I have now

little further to ask, other than that I may not be
foolishly insulted only as cowardly barbarians in-
sult those who fall into their power."
The trial proceeded, however, and at the latest
dates the case for the prosecution had not closed.

SCHILLEWTRESTIVAL AT VIENNA.

VIENNA, Nov. 9.
At half-past 5 o'clock yesterday evening the differ-
ent corporations and guilds of the city met in the
Prater—the Hyde•park of Vienna—aria at 6 o'clock
the procession, which was composed of about 5,500
persons bearing torches and lamps of coloured
paper, was on its way towards the city. Three
trumpeters on milk-white steeds opened the pro-
cession, and immediately behind them followed
the "Schiller banner," v which WAS borne by a
man on horseback On the top of the banner
was a bust of Schiller, and below it his escutcheon.

The procession presented a very striking coup dceil
as it moved up the Itothenthurm-street towards

the place on which stands the cathedral. As far
'as the eye could reach, a dense mass of people
formed a living hedge, through which moved a
repf‘giloio•ipioir.l(ilnip:lndsontsrl::afi,soptlllirrohernonoadssftduottentietddnmi

almosttehd oa such
bearers were loudly cheered both by the poaftp"lutl:
and by the occupants of the windows past which
the procession moved. The behaviour of the public
was so exemplary that not the slightest accident
occurred, although 200,000 people must have been
in the narrow streets of the city at one and the same
time. As the torch-bearers passed the Stephen's-
place there were not more than 10 or 15 policemen
to be seen, but a strong body followed the proces-
sion to prevent its being "rolled up" by the crowd.
In obedience to a wish expressed by the Imperial
authorities, there was no illumination of the city ;
but in general, the rooms were brilliantly lighted
up, and the 'Windows thrown open. The windows
of the Archiepiscopal.palace were occup'ed by cleri-
cal dignitaries, but his Eminence did net appear.
In the palace of the Papal Nuncio all was dark and
still, but the procesion did not appear to notice the
silent protest made by the representative of Rome
against the apothcsosis of Schillor. The only fault
to be found with the festival is, that it was some-
what monotonous, because 'there was not enough
music. At first the Archduke William promised
to let three military bands march with the proces-
sion, but subsequently he gave orders that they
should be stationed on the Schiller Place. The two
" " bands which accompanied the torch-bearers
were almost exhausted when the procession reached'
the glacis. The speech made by M.'Laubc, the
director of the Court theatre, who stood on an
elevated spot near the statue of Schiller,• ran as
follows : hiadateemicirifler::

" We stand before the statue of Frederic Schiller,
in order to ce!ebrate the hundredth anniversary of
his birthday. What did the man do that this clay
should be celebrated by every German on the face
of the wide earth? Of lowly birth, he managed to
become one of the first of German authors. In spite
of adversity and sorrow, he through his whole career
remained pure as gold. He made such magic use of
our language that every German heart is refreshed,
is elevated, by his words. He created a host of

ideal forms, which have become types and favourites
with old and with young, with rich and with poor.
Be has glorified woman, inasmuch as he has repre-
sented her as the depository of virtue, as the worthy
companion of man. He has awakened the best feel-
ings of man—a feeling for independence, a feeling
for the Fatherland, a feeling for everything good
and great. He employed his great talents to a
great end, for his sole object was to improve and
elevate mavkind. He has improved and ennobled
a whole nation, and therefare on this the hundredth
anniversary of his birthday the Germans unani-
mously nroclaim Frederic Schiller the poet (Dich-
tcr) of the German people, who will give to him
their love, respect, and gratitude to the cud of time
(fur tend jur).'

'rho speaker—who was heard and understood by
many thousands as he uttered each sentence sepa-
rately and at the top of his voice—then proposed
—" A thousand-voiced Vicat to the poet of the
Germans, to the beloved Frederic Schiller." A
mighty cry was immediately raised by the persons
who had heard the t oast, and as it was gradually
taken up by more distant groups of people, tho
effect of a reverberation of sound was produced.
Two strophes of Schiller's " Ode to Joy" having
been sung, the Burgomaster proposed " A Vivat for
the Emperor," and it was given by the immense
erowd which had assembled to do honour to the
memory of Schiller. A strophe or two of the
National Anthem was then sung, and as the rain
had begun to fall the people went off in different
directions with the bands, which played " Das
Deutsche Vaterland" as they quitted the ground.
Persons of my acquaintance saw the procession
pass through different parts of the city, and they
all agree in saying that the people behaved in the
most exemplary manner. In official circles it was
feared that there might be a " row," and conse-
quently very many police agents were in the streets
in mufti. Inc troops were kept-in barracks, and
consequently had not an opportunity of seeing
how sell the Viennese behave when left to them-
selves. After the festival was over last night, a
fellow-countryman remarked that if ever there
should be another revolution in Vienna " it would
be the fault of the rulers."
Dr. Schuselka, the gentleman who spoke at the
. .

" Concordia" festival, is likely to get into difficulties
for saying things which had been crossed out of
his written speech by the police. The persons who
intend to speak or propose toasts at the banquet on
Saturday must send in " copies" of their speeches or
toasts to the managing committee, which undertakes
to perform the part of censor. Before the year 1848
the censors were in the habit of substituting pas-

sages for those which they objected to, but it ii not
vety probable that the Schiller committeemen will
take a similar liberty.

* NOTE.—As was yesterday stated, a colossal plaster of
Paris statue was erected for the occasion on the future
Schiller Place.

The prospectus has been ism- e 1 of the London-
bridge Hotel Complny, with a capital of £lOO,OOO in £5
shares. It is to be constructed on a site adjoining the
Brighton Railway station, and communicating with it, and
-is to contain 2.50 sleeping apartments, numerous public and
private sitting rooms, and a large hall for meetings. • The
Great Western Hotel cost £BO,OOO, including Furniture, and
the contract forthe New IV estminstcr Hotel is under 160,000.
The capital proposed on the present occasion is, therefore,
assumed to be ample.
