Rev Dr. Gurley read interesting statements of the progress of the revival in various sections of our country. and urged the mreting to embrace ter Opportunities for doing a great work for r 5 Rey. Dr. Samson gave his views of the pro- ceedings of several meetings which he bad at- tended in the towns and vii ages of our land, and earnestly desired to see laryer numbers converted. Rev.

Young, on Marine avenue, between Third and Four-and-a-half streets, was entered in the bold- est manner by some persen or Persons, who walked into ¢ front parlor during the ab- sence, for a few minutes, of Mrs. Young, and proceeded to strip the mantel piece of a number of valuable articles of ornament, and every- pet. fed value in the room, which could be con- veyed away, in a piaso cover which the robbers lifted from the piano for the urpose. Such light articles as table covers, t! ys, porcel: vases, china cups and saucers, and a valuable gold bracelet, belonging to one of the family, were taken out of the room and successfully made cif With during an incredibly short space. Mrs Young was absent but a few momenis from the house, which warrants a belief that there was more than one person engaged in the operation, as it would seem impossible for one thief, how- ever dexterous at his infamous trade, to accom- nm So extensive an operation in the time. is no elve yet to the robbers or their whereabouts. This is decidedly one of the most audacious robberies we have heard of lately here, and shows conclusively the existence in this city of am organized band of outlaws of the very worst stainp, whe should be brought to speedy justice at all hazards. “Avtp Laxe Synz.*’—The members of the Friendship Club celebrated their eighth anni- versary last night by a private entertainmennt at Gibson’s, of which the members and a few invi- ted guests partook. The festive board was weil supplied, and during the evening the enjoyment was universal. This club originally consisted of tem members, nine of whom were Present last night—one only being absent from town, and un- able to attend. The original ten were single men at the time of the formation of this pleasant clab, and on counting up last night it was ascer- tatned that the whole of them were now married and settled for life, except one member, who ix tog bandsome a man to remain single long, and Wwe bave no hesitation in saying that ere the next apaual reunion rolis -roond our friend with the biack moustache will have followed the good example of his more wise companions, snd have become a peppy. ‘*Benedict.”” Long the “Friendship Club’ wave, and may the sentiment which binds them ber in name, always nes- tle closely around their hearts, and bind them in & Union so strong that nothing but death itself sball be sufficient to sunder them Tux Srortinc Sxason. —The past has cer- tainly been a season favorable to dealers in arti- cles necessary for the *portsman’s use.

From those to_know the localities where game abound. we learn that the season will con- tinue to aiford marks for the “good shot.” AnoTHER Cast —Notwithstanding the almost daily accounts in some of the city Dewspapers,of accidents accruing to persons through a careless use of firearms, every day brings about some new disaster—often a fatal pve—by the same means. On yesterday two lads left the city fora day’s shooting in the neighborhood of Biadens- burg. while engaged in bunting for birds in the fie! bout one mile this side of the town, one of them, named Johony Burch, son of T.W’ Barch, attempted to climb a fence, aud, as he mounted the rails, to drag the balf-cocked gua after him, the hammer caught against the rail, and, coming dowa u, the cap, the contents of the weapon were discharged, netrating the groin with a large amount of bird shot.

Tre Patn or tHE Comer pierces the plane of the orbit of Venus, at a point near the orbit itself, and Venus and the comet are both approaching this point. Venus will pass it first, about the 12th, and the comet only one week after; but this interval will give ample scope to the latter to oy without collision, its train inctuded; for, at he rate at which these travelers on the celestial bighways proceed, the first twenty-four and the sécoud thiity-six miles per second, when nearest, on the 13th, they will yet be eight or ten millions of miles asunder. If, however. further observa- tion show that the comet’s motion is more rie than supposed above, or the attraction of the planet accelerate its rhode of travel, the prox- imity may be greater. It will be worth while Watching the comet at this time, to observe whether it undergoes any marked physical cbanges. Tax Maaxer ReotLations.—The officers de- tailed for service at the Centre Market have been enforcing the regulations with considerable energy recently. This morning, a number, prob- ably twenty-five persons, occu Ing itions on the Ninth chrest Hdewatk were notified to vacate them after to-day, and leave the gangway clear of obstruction. Several warrants bave been issued against persons for forestalling the mar- ket. Justice Donn at an early hour thts morning was employed in this business. Forestalling the market is, aud always has been, a reason why certain articles, the products of the farms near our city, have been so high priced for years past. if broken up, the country dealers will receive with our citizens a share of the advantages of a fair trade. The above is not a reflection upon our energetic and honest licensed dealers. [POR THE STAR. The Comet.
