The SCHILLER FESTIVAL IN GERMANY.-It
is feared that the grand proposed tcrchlight
procession which the students and guilds of
Berlin had intended for the 9th of November,
the eve of the great national festival in honor
OF the one hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Schiller, would not take place. The Presi
dent of the Police has put his veto upon it.
The reason for this is, that it is feared the OPP
portunity might be taken advantage Of to make
Il democratic demonstration Great prepara-
tons were made for the festival i'll all the cap
ital towns in Germany.

The CASE OF GERRIT SM1TH.-A gentle
man acquainted with the circumstances under
which Mr.. Smith was confined in the Asylum
at Utica, writes under date of Nov. 11th as fol-
lows:
His mind is considerably dsordered, but his
condition is not so hopeessy bad as has been
represented, and his physicians hope that the
regimen and care to which he is subjected,
and the absence of excitement will effect a
radical cure. 1t was only by stratagem that
his friends succeeded in getting him here. He
has been, since the arrest of Brown and his
followers, haunted with the idea that he was
culpably responsible for the lives that have
been and will be sacrificed; and SO much have
this reflection and the fear of being called on to
answer at the bar of justice preyed upon him,
that his mind never exempt from a tendency
to be unhinged, gave way, and reason desert
ed its throne.
For some days before the absolute necessity
of restrictive measures became apparent to
his friends and relatives, he manifested most
nervous anxiety to anticipate the requsition
which he expected would be made upon him,
and to proceed to Virginia and surrender him
self into the hands Of the authorities. When
it was resolved to place him under restraint,
this anxiety of his was taken advantage of.
His friends pretended to chime in with his no.
ton, and when he set out for Utica, he was
under the impression that he was on his way
to Richmond or Charlestown. Although he
sympathized with and sustained John Brown
in Kansas, he is no way implicated in the re.
cent movements Of that now distinguished in
divdual. His position as inmate Of the asy
lum here is, therefore, solely attributable to
that peculiar sensitiveness of mind he il
known to have possessed and which has gver
way, startled from its seat by the shock conse
quent on the sad events which have followed
the course of this same Brown. That Gerrit
Smiths case is one Of decided lunacy, is Ger
tain. Still, his friends consider it far from
hopeless

dampness of the atmosphere prevented serious
injury. The cause of the fire is unknown.
THE daily morning prayer meeting is now
held at the Union Vestry at o'clock.

LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-The Paris correspond
ent of the New York Times alludes to the
vague and uncertain rumors which have been
put forth relative to the Emperors mental con-
dition. In a letter written Oct 9th he says:
"a good deal is said just now in private
about the temper of mind i'll which the Emper-
or returned from Biarritz, in regard to the af-
fairs of Italy. We hear also many vague hints
about his health and the condition Of his mind.
All this gossip has undoubtedly certain toun-
dation in truth He was heard to express
great annoyance at St. Sauveur at the difficult
ties which met him at every turn, in the settle
ment OF the complications in Italy, and one of
the objects of his visit to this secluded noun
tain retreat was to escape for a time from the
vexations of the moment. Since his return to
st. Cloud he has only driven twice to town,
once to a council at the Tuileries, once to see
his uncle jerome at the Palais Royal. To all
requests to visit the theaters it is replied that
his Majesty's health is not good, and we have
other reasons for believing that this is true. In
regard TO his mind, have no need to remind
yon that it is one of the traditional imputatlons
under which all monarchs have to suffer- that
from time to time they become deranged. We
have absolutely no evidence that the present
Emperor has ever experienced any misfortune
of the kind, and in fact, he does not seem TO be
a subject for that sort ofmalady."

SUDDEN DEATH OF LADY PEEL.-The Eng
fish papers, in announcing the sudden death of
Lady Peel, widow of Sir Robert Peel, state
that cher ladyship retired to rest in her usual
health on Thursday night, and was found dead
in her bed the next morning. Lady Peel has
thus survived her illustrious husband about
nine years, and must at least have attained the
number of years which the inspired record
allots to humanity. She was in early life a
remarkably handsome woman, and retained
her personal beauty irrespective Of the raYag-
es of that terrible foe of the sex-Tme.'

The SUPPOSED POISONING CASE IN CAN.
ToN.-We copy from another letter in the
Traveller, few more particulars of this
case:
"Mr. James Smaller, the deceased, was a
wealthy farmer in North Canton about fifty
nine years old. He owned some two hundred
acres of land, which had been in the possession
of his family for two hundred years, with
other property, valued at some $4,000 or
$4,000. He had always lived bachelor, I'M
til within year, his domestic affairs having
been superintendent by his sisters.
Last December, just before Christmas, Mr..
Smaller went to East Boston with a load of
wood, and while there saw a Mrs Russell
wife of Patrick Russell, laborer, with whom,
it seems, he had previous acquaintance.
She asked him why he did not get married,
and he replied that he had not yet met wo-
man that would suit him Tor wife, stating
that he wished to marry a young woman
when he married at all. Mrs. Russell replied
that she had two neces, and she thought one
of them would suit him. She said if he
would come in on Christmas day she would
have them both there, and introduce them 10
him.
He accordingly visited the house on that
day, and Mrs. Russell introduced her two
nieces to him. He said he had some doubts
which to choose, and finally said he would
take them both out to see his place, and then
marry the one who appeared best pleased with
it. He subsequently did so, and the result of
the visit was his choice of the youngest girl
Her name was Adelaide Vantassel, and she
was a native of Nova Scotia. She was then
trifie over sixteen years of age, and was pos
sessed of considerable personal beauty On
the 18th of January they were married, and
she was installed as mistress of his house,
though two of his maiden sisters continued
to reside with him.
The marriage relations of the couple how
ever proved unpleasant, owing to the dis
crepancy in their ages, and to other causes.
They lived unhappy together, but the girl
consoled herself with the hope of his death,
and her ultimate possession of his property
Some facts compromising the character of the
wife were soon after made public showing i'm
proper intimacies between her and several
young men, one or two of whom were en-
ployed on the farm"
And then follows more particular account
of what followed this ill,assorted and most I'M
fortunate marriage, for promoting which that
matchmaking aunt should not escape account
ability. Some of the most relentless curses
of society should be devoted to that loathsomc
nuisance, the meddling match maker,-not to
speak of what is due to the mercenary con.
triver of such unfit and wicked marriages as
that in question. Mrs. Smaller, who is ac-
cused of much wanton behavior after her mar
rage, has been arrested on a charge of adul-
terry. The case will be brought up again on
Thursday of this week. when the results of
Jackson's analysis of the contents of the
deceased mans stomach will be given.
