contain the following truly melancholy
intelligence.
DEATH OF SENATOR SMITH.

intelligence.
DEATH OF SENATOR SMITH.
ut is with the deepest regret that we have
to announce the melancholy and sudden
death, on Saturday night, of the Hon. Nathan
Smith, of New Haven, United States senator
from the state Of Connecticut. M. Smith
had not fel. particularly unwell during Satur-
day, but about III o'clock in the evening Of
that day he retired to bed complaining of a
pain in his breast. Feeling himself rather
worse, he got up. and sent for DR.. Naudain,
the senator from Delaware, who boarded in
the same house. The doctor directed the
immediate application Of mustard plasters-
In spite of this and other remedies, however
Mr.. Smith became rapidly worse, until the
doctor, much alarmed to find him apparently
dying, called upon Mr. s. Hyatt, in whose
house they were both boarding.
Mr.. Hyatt instantly hurried to the apart.
ment, but before his arrival the honorable
senator had expired in his chair.
! 1t will be melancholy consolation to the
friends Of the deceased, to know that his la
dy, who accompanied him to this city, was
present during the painful scene Of his last
moments.
This solemn event will cast a gloom over
the session ofcongress-the commencement
Of which has been thus mournfuly cloudcd.
No member Of our national legislature has
ever expired under circumstances Of more az
fecting interest. A few hours before the o.
pening Of congress-in the flush and hope of
political excitement-one Of the principal ac-
tors in our great national council, has been
thus hurried from the stage Of life, as if to re-
mind us, in the memorable words Of Burke
on an almost milar occasion, "What shad-
ows we are, aud what shadows we pursue"
| Mr.. Smith was elected in the fall Of 1899.
and had, consequently, three years to serve;
and in the nearly balanced state of parties in
the senate, his death will be a matter of great
solicitude.
A post mortem examination showed his dis.
case to have been an enlargement ofhe heart,
and Of course beyond the reach Of medicine.
Mr.. Smith was in the 66th year of his age;
most excellent citizen, a profound lawyer,
and, what was his next peculiar churacteris-
tic, gentleman Of the old school, of which
few survive"

GREAT WEBSTER MEETING.

The Webster Meeting last evening, was in
deed a meeting to boast Of At period Of
little or no political excitement, and when no
immediate action was to follow, we did GER
tainly not expect TO witness such a scene as
that of last evening.
Before the hour Of z, the great Hall was
thronged, floor and galleries. At the pre-
else moment advertised, the Chair was taken
and steady stream was flowing up the stair
way, packing, to a most uncomfortable degree,
those already in the Hall. When it could
hold no more, those who could not gain ad-
mtiance organized themselves in a lower
apartment, and there received and ratified
the proceedings of the great meeting.
In the Hall Mr.. RAYMOND called the meet
ing to order, and on his motion the following
officers were appointed:
BENJAMIN STRONG, President.

ABRAHAM FARDON,

Resolutions, the meeting was addressed by
Mr.. Chandler Star, Mr.. Isaac S. Hone, Mr.
H. .Mar,ceH, Mr.. S. n. Fooie, and Mr.. j. w.
Webb. We will not attempt any outline of
the remarks Of either Of these gentlemen
contenting ourselves with saying, that each
seemed inspired by the array before him, of
ns much worth, talent, industry, and respecta-
bility, as was ever before assembled on such
an occasion, and who there met to present in
a becoming manner to their fellow citizens
throughout the Union, for the first Office in
the country, the man who is the first choice
of nineteen-twenteths of the disinterested
and rejecting among his countrymen.
! We are indeed gratifed more than we can
express, by this meeting. New-York, the
Queen City Of the Republic, has spoken and
spoken worthily. Her professional men, her
merchants. her mechanics, her laboring clas
ses, all fully and spontaneously represented
at this meeting, pronounced with common
and enthusiastic voice their marked and de-
cided preference for Daniel Websier. With
out disparaging the claims or qualifications Of
other candidates, they yet declared their con-
victon that the supe riority in all respects of
Mr.. Webster, was so indsputable, as to make
it duty to rally their whole strength upon
him.

MOST IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.

We are enabled to say, on the author ty of
one of our most respectable commercial hou-
ses. that letter from London, dated October
2Sth, received yesterday, by the Josephine:
states that formal demand had been made
by our Charge dAffairs on the French Gov
ernment, for the payment of the instalments
due the United States, as settled by the In
demnty Treaty. That a long conference
was in consequence held between the Pr ST.
dent of the Council, the Duke de BRoGLIE,
and the Minister of Finance, Nj. lUMANN,
and that on tire 26th a refusal was commun-
Gated to our Charge and full and explicit
explanation of the Presidents Message re-
quireG.
The Philadelphia Evening Star Of yester-
day has the following:
! Rather squaAy.-An order has been re-
ceived from the Secretary Of the Navy for
opening in this city naval rendezvous for
the enlistment of seamen. We under
stood from a gentleman connected with the
Navy Department that the order embraced
the recruiting not only of thorough seamen,
but also ordinary seamen-boys and lands
men. II is well known that recruiting has
been going on moderately for some time past,
but this was all in the usual course Of things,
and none but thorough bred seamen were ta-
ken.
The express by the Francois 1st, probably
reached Washington on Sunday evening, and
if the above order is predicted on the des-
patches received from Mr.. Barton, our Charge
de Affairs at Paris, we confess the prospect
of the continuance of pacific relations with
france is considerably diminished.
The following paragraphs, confirming that
Of the Courier. are from London paper Of
the 29th October.
PARIS, Oct. 27.-On Sunday there was
long conference between the minister of f.
nance and NJ. de Broglie, in consequence Of
visit made by the Charge d'Allnrs Of the
United States to the president Of the council.
Ii was said that NJ. Human persisted in re-
solving not to make any payment without OBJ
tanning clear and absolute satisfaction.
Courier Frdncdise
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Barton was
urgent for an immediate decision of the
French government relative to the demands
he was authorized to make, aud it is not un-
likely that he may have obtained that decis-
ion in time to forward it by the first of No
vember packet from Eavre.

A dSgracefnl rencontrc took place in Bos-

between Uiiliam Fans, of Boston, and John
Lowell, of Roxbury, both aged men and long
known to the public-the former, it is said,
being over 80, and the latter over 20 years OF
age. 1t appears that in a conversation Mr.. L.
was grossly nsulted by Mr. Vans, and in en-
deavorng to get clear to avoid street brawl,
was pursued and received a severe blow on
the back Of his head by him. when Mr. Lowell
turned and endeavored to defend himself
The combatants were, however, soon separa-
ted, without suffering dangerous injury.

MAN WITHOUT A HEAD.
MONSTRUM HORRENDUM INGENS 1

We learn that our friend Ii. Y. Cranston, of
Newport, visited Providence this week. 1t is, we
believe, the first instance of the appearance of a
man in our city without head, though the appear
unce of heads without brains is no novelty. We in-
fer that the gentleman in question came without his
head, from the fact that he promised never to shew
his head in Providence again, unless he obtained
majority of three hundred votes in the county of
Newport in the late Congressional election. As he
fell something three hundred votes short Of that
result, we are at a loss to know how he could have
come to Providence with his head, aud fulfilled his
promise too. And we equally at loss to know
how he could have managed TO come, and leave his
head behind.
