THE SCHILLER FESTIVAL.

The German papers teem with the preparations
for the Schiller Festival.

We take the following items from them:—
MUNICH, OCT 17.

The Schiller Committee has been holding daily
sittings. The celebrA lion here will be on a grand
scale. Dr. Bodenstedt is entrusted with the gene-
ral arrangements. An ' apotheosis' of Schiller is
the ground-work of the plan. The Odeons' saal
(one of the finest concert-rooms in Europe) will, it'
is thought, not be large enough, and the musical
performance will take place in the Opera•house."
A letter from Marbach says :
" Schiller's house was purchased this spring by
the committee for 4,000f1. (X 400), and is actually
undergoing the necessary repairs, and is being re-
stored to the state it was in when Schiller lived
there.

In Saxony 20,000 dols. have been subscribed.

At Berlin a torch-light procession was proposed
on the eve of the festival, but objected to by the
Police Director and by Count Schwerin.
" Wilhelm Tell" is to be given on the 1 lih at. the
Opera-house.•
At Vienna a torch procession is allowed, and the
festivities will be on a grand scale.
The King of Hanover has subscribed 200 dols.

THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER

MOELFRA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Four more bodies, all males, have been cast ashore
since my communication of yesterday ; one last
night, and three this morning. Three of them are
now lying in the parish church of Llanaltgo ; the
remaining body has been removed to the church of
Penrhoslliguy, having been thrown ashore in the
latter parish-. All yesterday evening a very heavy
sea rolled, and about four o'clock the life-boat,
manned by a crew of eight, put out to rescue those on
board a brigantine, which was observed to be rapidly
approaching the rocks a little to the north of the
spot in Dullas Bay, in which the wreck of the Royal
Charter lies. The brigantine, however, got safely
in on the- sands in a little creek about a mile from
Moelfra, where she now lies. She proves to be the
Mersa, of Barrow. She was bound with a cargo of
iron ore to some English port. She fell, foul of
another vessel, and was somewhat injured by the
encounter. She afterwards touched a rock, and the
crew got on shore. They afterwards re-embarked,
and got her in safety to the before-mentioned creek.
As the waves beat violently in on the Dulles Rocks
last evening, large quantities of clothing were to be
seen tossing about. Some of it was cast ashore, but
a great deal of it was carried out to sea again. It
has been suggested by some of the relatives of the
drowned passengers and seamen that if boats were
sent out many more bodies would be recovered. I
think this very likely after what I have witnessed
with respect to the action of the waves with respect
to the clothing and spars. The Rev. Mr. Hughes
is about to take the matter in hand. There has
been some objection on the part of the authorities,
as they apprehend that theft might be committed
by some of the persons going out in the boats ; but
if rumour speaks truly, the watchers themselves
require watching. It is unfair to make charges
against men having a responsible duty to perform;
and one of the police inspectors has told me that he
himself caught a coastguardman in the act of
thieving,. Friends and relatives complain that
there is more anxiety to discover gold than bodies,
but the fact is, no gold has as yet been discovered
by the divers. They recommenced operations at
10 o'clock this morning, but have brought up nothing
but copper bars. The fathers, mothers, wives,
children, and other relatives, pace the beach from
an early hour in the morning. Yesterday, delicate
women braved the rain and storm all day, making
their melancholy search. Every now and then I
was met by persons with sorrowful faces, one in-
quiring, " Have you seen any trace of my husband ?
His name was " Oh, have you found any-
thing with the name of - ? She was my child."
Indeed, it is a heartrending thing to go near the
beach, and to see these mourners, and to meet the
carts carrying the mangled corpses, or the parish
coffins in which they are to be interred. None of
the bodies found last night have been identified
Forty five bodies have been found up to this time

LECTURE TO CARTERS AND CAB3IEN.

Last Friday a very exciting meeting of cabmen,
carters, omnibus drivers, and many others of the
horse jockey fraternity, was held in the circus on
Glasgow Green, to witness an exhibition of Mr.
Rarey's wonderful powers in subduing the most
vicious horses. The large building was literally
packed by a singularly characteristic audience,
drawn from the classes whom Mr. Rarey had kindly
invited to meet him free of all charge. We have
seen many great and many very peculiar gatherings
in Glasgow, but the meeting of Friday possessed
features of interest which rendered it wholly unique.
We have never seen Mr. Rarey exhibit his thorough
command over the horse to greater advantage than
on that occasion. One of the horses submitted to
his operations, and on which he had never laid
hands before, was notorious for its kicking propen-
sities. It was brought into the ring with a very bad
character, and when Mr. Rarey touched it at first
it struck out in a manner which greatly excited the
audience. By and by, however, it became less irri-
table, and the process of strapping the fore legs was
speedily accomplished. It was now compelled to lie
down and allow its master to treat it as he thought
proper. Suffice to say, that the simple and kindly
process pursued in this, as in all other cases, was
most satisfactory. Mr. Rarey lay down with it,
laid his head upon its own, and placed its hind
legs upon his head, and showed that in the very
first interview its vicious habits were, for the
time being at least, fairly brought under, and
that a few more interviews were only required to
cure it of these altogether. The other experiments
were equally successful. Altogether the exhibition
of Friday night, andthe many practical lessons and
remarks which were thrown out in the course of it,
could not fail to be highly useful to men who spend
the most of their time, and who earn their daily
bread, in company with the horse. It would be
well if every one of these men could be put in pos-
session of Mr. Rarey's valuable pamphlet, illustra-
tive of his mode of treating this noble animal. The
audience became so excited' at times that he had
frequently to request them to keep still ; and al-
though this was not an easy matter in a gathering
of from two to three thousand cabmen, carters, &c.,
yet he succeeded in subduing his audience with as
much tact as he did the horse. Where were the
patrons of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals last night ? One such exhibition is
worth ten thousand homilies on that subject, and
we cannot but regard Mr. Rarey as one of the most
distinguished benefactors of the horse, which is
oftentimes subjected to such cruel abuse. No ar-
rangement seemed to havebeen made for returning
thanks to Mr. Rarey fpr his highly useful and gra-
tuitous services, but at the close of his exhibiticm
many rough-looking, but kindly-hearted men,
gathered around him in the ring to shake hands
with him, and return him their warmest thanks.
The Rev. Mr. Wallace, who was present, with seve-
ral of our civic authorities, rose, and in a few sen-
tences gave utterance and shape to the feelings of the
large audience, by formally proposing a hearty vote
of thanks to Mr. Rarey, and the meeting was closed
with several hearty rounds of applause,--Glasgow

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( 71.11 S PAY')

COURT OF CHANCERY.

APPEAL MOTION-JENKINS V. GREEN.
This is an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolle
affirming the certificate of his chief clerk, finding that the
agreement for a lease for 14 years of 437 acres of the rectory
lands of the parish of Gillingham, in the county of Lincoln;
at a rent of £3OO, dated April 24, 1865, was not in opposi-
tion to the Act of Parliament 5 and 6 Vic., 1842, load
could be carried into effect by granting a valid lease.
Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., was heard for the appellant.
Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., appeared for the respondents.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Wightraan

and Hill,)
THE QUEEN V. THE LORDS OF THE TREASURY.
Mr. Corrie this morning moved for a rule calling lip
John Wray, Esq., the receiver of the Metropolitan Police
Courts, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue
commanding him to pay the sum of £3OB to gri,
Corrie, of the Clerkenwell Police Court, being Prits2
his salary as such magistrate, and which had "'n
deducted from him. It: appeared that the learned gentle-
man was appointed in 1851 ono of the metropolitan If bad
magistrates, and from that time until the present X3o° '-
been deducted, in compliance with the Superannuation
Act, which the learned gentleman contended did not aPpli
to police magistrates.
The Court granted a rule, on the ground that the 2 all
3 Vict., cap. 71, see. 11, amounted to a repeal of the 4 n,
5 of Wm. IV., cap. 24, so far as affected the magistrates or
the police•courts.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans•)

JUDGMENT-IN RE BWAINE.
This bankrupt was a miller, at Stevenage,/and his 11°11,1
to-day gave judgment on the question of certificate, ww"ci
had been opposed on the ground of reckless trading an
fraudulent preference. es
His Honour said that it appeared from the bank— D
,as
accounts that be had carried on a losing business after he
insolvent. It was also proved that after he ranit ha
known that he could not pay more than a small divide'.
he had paid considerable sums on the personal aPPlicat,l°,s
of creditors; but he declared that he did not t_.

contemplate bankruptcy. The evidence was netisu;
cient to justify the Court in deciding that the bel'ie
had been guilty of fraudulent preference, according Wifso
cases of Morgan v. Brundrest (5 B. and Adol. 289)2 '
Cashel (2 Ex. 691), and Marjoribanks (de Gex. 466). Cisi;
sidering, however, that the bankrupt was not justifieu
paying those debts, and that his trading was very °
dent, the Court would adjourn the certificate (2d class)
a year from the last examination. That decision weal
tified by the case of ex parte Hammond (de Gel' -
and S. 699).

time.
