Im spite of the weather, the largest hall in Auburn was well filled. Addresses explanatory ef the proposed People’s College were made by Messrs. H. Howard and Horace Greeley, on behalf of the trustees, who were responded to ins kind- ed spirit by Hon. Wm. H. Seward in bebalf of the cit- iaone. The plan of the college, embodying instruction in the practical sciences, and also in the useful arte, was re- ceived with general favor. ‘The trustees adjournéd to meet three months hence, in Syracuse. ‘ Warren Wood Convicted. “ Caysnit, Nov. 24—4 P.M Warren Wood has just been found guilty of the mur- der of Willams, the pedlar, and is to be sentenced on Saturday morning. ‘The Jews’ Hospital in New Yerk—Laying of a Corner Stone. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Jews’ Hospital, in this city, took place yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, on Twenty-eighth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. The day was somewhat unfavorable, being intensely eold and windy; but despite all disadvantages a very large crowd gathered on the ground at the hour appointed Ser the ceremony. At two o’clock the parties participating in the exercises ef the occasion met at the Jewish Synagogue in Crosby street, and thence proceeded in a body down Broadway, ‘to Canal street, where they took passage in the Highth avenue cars for Twenty-eighth street. Upon arriving at the ground the exercises of the day eemmenced. Prayer was offered up by Mr. Lyons, in the Hebrew language, after which the presentation of the silver trowel wax made by Henry Hendricks Treasurer of ‘the Building Comrsisiaes the President of the | = ittee, Sampson Simpson, Eaq., of the Hospi it "After the prerentation, Mr. Simpson made a few re- marke, returning thanks for the high honor which had ‘been accorded him. He was fully sensible of that honor, and would erdeavor to fulfil the functions of his offi honorably. 1am not possessed, he said, of the eloquence which would be appropriate to such an occasion, but 1 aay be pardoned for expreasing my thanks for the high Donor which you have conferred upon me. [ almos: re- gzot that s man more competent than myself had not been seleeted to address you on this occasion, But, again, I fee] proudof the ee which you mare conneres upon hould suffer a pang of regret in giving it up. Gentlemen, we have now arrived atthe foundation fan establishment which must be to us and to the city ‘ef New York of the highest possible importance. It is not for me to inform you that a Jews’ hospital is requisite to our Jewish population; it is not for me to tell you-how all our great Rabbis have pressed the subject upon ournotice, and that upon such charities stand all Wye foundations cf our ancient faith. t depends on you, my friends, to finish what you have so happily begun, an to pray God, whose blessing is wanted to the completion ef this work. When the corner stone is laid, when the Building is completed, when the dying groans of the wounded are soothed by the tender nurses whom your Benificences has provided, and the last dying sigh of the ing Hebrew shall be heard by attending and sympa- ‘thizing Jews, then might that soul return to its Ged, and the prayer for forgiveness be raised in peace; and when poor, distressed inmate is once more restored to health and its ex joyments, then will his supplications ariee for a Blessing upon your charity, Receive my most sincere thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me, and way we all survive to witness the final success of our work, in health and happiness. ‘A prayer was then offered up in Hebrew, for the Presi- dent of the United States, the (i. vernor of the state, and the city authorities, by Rev. Ansel Leo The bene fictioa was then pronounced by Rev. 0. 8. M. Isages, and the ex- ercizes concluded. In the evening s sermon was delivered in the Wooster street synagogue by Rev. S. MM. Isnace, The Reverend gentleman chose as his text the 2lst verse of the 2Ist chapter of Proverbs: ‘He that followeth after right eourness and mercy findeth life, righteousnees and hon- or.” The chief purpose of our preaching and exhorta- tion, said the preacher, must be the improvement of the heart snd the enlijhtecment of the understanding. In reference to the first, i: appeared to him that it was » practical anomaly that the en ablishment of a Jews’ hos- repay had never been thought of, or bad been at least de- red to the preeent time. It was an astonishing fact ‘that a short time ago, when the Jewish population were eolici'ed to join in contributing to such @ purvore, the wesual reply was that our city institutions supplied all the wecessities that could porsibly arise among the Hebrew tion, and would answer the purpose without any jona) trouble or expense. But there was something aise t be considered beyond the mere physical necessi- ties of the Jewish population—the s'ichude of those who eared for them did notend hore. There was a weightier consideration than the relief of corporeal sickness. The Jew, it was true, was in this country an American ia ‘heart and feeling ; he was an American in love fur our political and social institutions ; but he had his -eligion, and that wae perfectly distinct and separate from all other forms ot belief. The speaker concluced by im ing upon the minds of his hearers the necessity for e establishment of such an institution in our midst,for the benefit of our Jewish population, not only for the pur- poet securing their temporal and physical welfare, but use their spiritual ha -piness depended upon it. The congregaticn then dispersed. Lecture upon Books, by Rev. Mr. Glics. The Rey. Henry Giles delivered the eecond lecture of a ‘source at the Brooklyn Institute, Tuesday evening, before Jarge and attentive audience. His subject was the Love of Books. In commencing, he related the anecdote of the Irish schoolmaster, of whom he bad read in his youth, who possessed a certain mysterious book, which in his sonvereations he occasionally alluded to as the most won- @erful the world ever possessed. There were but two others that bore a semblance to it—the one in possession ef the Pope, and the other in the keeping of the Grand Terk, but his own book was the moet wonderful. It Wweated upon the use of cudgels and the misuse of globes, particularized the geese which aroused the Romans from sleep, gave an account of the fret Scotchman that wore breeches, and an in¢ubitable record of Jonah’s me- @itations in the whale; and while the listeners of the sehcolmarter were yet astonished, he would turn the wubject to reading. Some, he would say, mark the stops well enough, but that was not reading; it was the mind, he would explain, that reads, and it is mind which gets spirit out of the matter which we ponder. Take the savage, for exam- with a note from a missionary to one ata distance, and he receives that which be knew the sender nee and he will think it magic; and it is from this point of view we can understand what eftect books had in the mid dle sges—then awful tothe multitude, and to the com- mon man a Sag of fear. Books bad multiplisd, and their power now is greatia the world and enters iato eve- wy crevice of life, Fragmente of divine biography swept away the bloody power of the Caesars; and books may set im action the mos: resistless catures—overturn and ob- The elements, even, are weak to what a e mort accessible, the most manageable, that which gz change nations, and make ppear.

There in a genius for reading as well as for writing, and’ there are probably as few successful readers as writers—that is, those who come in material relation to the meaning of the author; for without im- bibing the spiriy of the writer there can be no criticism. ‘The speaker, after some further observations, concluded by ing an eloquent tribute upon literature, and espe- clally the periodical and newspaper literature of the day. Lecture on Geology. The second lecture on Geology was delivered on Wednes- day evening, at the Methodist Episcepal church, Greene street, by the Rev. R. S. Foster, D.D. The subject was Geological Agenctes, Causes of Changes, Means cf Obser- vations, &c The lecture was illustrated by charts, sym- bols, orrery and globes. The audience was not numerous, The exercises of the evening were opened with an appro- priate prayer. Dr. Foster commenced by referring to the theories to which attention was given in the former lecture, (the La Placean, or nebular theory of the sola system, and the theory of igneous fusion of our own planent.) Yet whether they aro true or false, he said, was a question which but slightly concerns the science of geology; they may or may not be true, and it will but little affect the principles involved. How- lobe was formed in fusion or a solid first virgin surface. At that point geo- Properly begin, Whatever may have th Pe ive condition of the earth, one thing is certain—it had a crystalized crust; changes commenced to operate on that crust. These changes constitute the science of geology, ard the surject of the pre. rent lecture was, the changes produced on those crusts, The chsnges began immediately to transpire, and t bave been Moth extensive; but whether the earth origir ally fluid or solid, there was time when it preseat- ed an incrusted form, ‘That was the result of igneous fu sion, and gave tho piimitive granite rock. Rains begét rivers—they are the fathers and mothers of oceans. and in the ancient earth mnst have been more abundant than in the modern earth, The ancient oceans were per- haps all tropical, and consequently deeper and more agi- tated. ‘The Fails of Niagara, of which a diagram was dis played, had retreated seven miles from two heights, male ing’ channel of four hunéred feet deep, and from half a mile toa mile anda half wide, which ‘had been made through a solid rock. The lecturer then referred to Lake Geneva, the Adriatic and the Ganges. The debris carried down by the Jatter, he said, was about 6,000 tons annually. But the Mississippi has the largest drainage in the world; she drains a portion of the earth no less than one mil- lion five hundred thousand square miles. It is found that the Missysippi had produced « celta with an area of thirty square miles and six hundred teet deep; it carries twice as much as the Ganges, though it is not as old or as long employed as that great river. Doctor Foster then referred to the influence of the glaciers with their high avalanches, the movements of the boulder rocks, volea noes, earthquakes, upheavals, subsidencies, description of strata, lifting of mountains, settling of lakes, which were illustrated by the lecturer with much clearness and impressiveness. Police Intelligenee. ANOTHER THIEF DETECTED AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE ARREST OF ONE OF THE GERMAN COMMIS3IONERS. For some time past, articles have been missed from the different departments in the Crystal Palace, ands mystery existed as to who could be the thief, On Wedaesday, Charles Edward Wedemayre, the cominissioner and prin cipal superintendent of the German department, was de- tected in stealing a bottle of perfumery from the French department. Officer Metcalf took him into custody, and on searching the lodging room occupied by Wecemay re, the cfficer found quite a large assortment of srticles, amounting possibly in value to between one and two hun- dred dollare. These articles have been identified by the pettons in charge of the cepartments trom which they ad stolen. The: being ro doubt ia the mind of Justice Stuart, before xnom the prironer was taken, of the prisoner’s’ guilt, he accordingly committed him to prison for trial. Judge Beete Robted by Burglars—A Bold Affair.—On Wecnerday evening, between 5and 6 o'clock, some bold and daring burglars entered the dwelling house of Judge Beebe, situated at No. 198 West Twenty eighth street, by means of a night key, and while the family were engaged at dinner in the front barement. The rogues visited the second story and selected articles from the bureau draw- erssnd wardrobe valued at between $300 and $100— making use of the two pillow cases, which they stripped from the pillows, evidently for the purpose of facilitation them inthe transportation of the stolen property Tae followiog is a list o’ the articles:—One brocade black dress one plaid silk dress. one striped silk dress, one silk Wrapper, light blue color: one ehild’s doutte circular drab clovb cloak, one black silk waist, one mufl. one bracelet, gold chain’ and white stones; six silver table spoons, tmoarked B; ten allver teaspoons, marked B; several gold finger ringe; four front teeth, cet in gold plates; one gold cbain, for n qhild’s neck; six keives, with silver handles; five forks silver handles; two tin money boxes, co! taining $40; a quantity of silk fringe, for dresves; two yarde of black silk, one red crape shawl; ooe sewing. rilk fearf:oms viselte es green color for ehild: one gold fob chaiv, key and seals separate, Atthe time the robbery was perpetrated Jnoge Beebe was not at home, thee teng nore bat the female members of the family in the house; and the burglars noticing them through the +indow to be at dianer, embrace that op: portunity ty efiv it the robbery. Should the polize arrest the guilty parties it is very doubtfal if they would re- ceive much sympathy or favor were they to be brought up before the Jucge for trial. It is very doubtful if the at the property stolen belonged to ge, or in all probability they would never have ventured into the house. We now recommend the burg- lare, on leerning their mistake, to pack up all the Jadge’s property, and send it back. Thick of that, you raseals ! tie the only way to harnionive the matter. If you don’t, the Juége will be sure to have yoa in his fclutches, and then up you go. Arrat of a Fugitive.—Officer Bedel, one of the Chief's special aids yesterday arcested a German named Fre‘e- niek Hagg, on a charge of burglariourly breaking i-' at South Branch, Somerset coun'y, New Jersey. .d ing therefrom fifty dollars, the property-of J.

Oa his arrest, he acknowledged his guilt, and thirty dollars of the stolen money was found in his possession. Justice Orvorn detained the fugitive in the Tombs until a requi- sition is rent from the authorities of New Jersey.

On the 24th of last month the dry goods store of Hitchcock and Leadbeater, oorner of Leonard street and Broa’i- way, was robbed by burglars of a quantity of black silks, valued at upwards of a thousand dollars, and om the day following the robbery the goods were taken to the base- ment cecupied by Mex¢lebaum, where,the above named officers recovered them At that time Mendlebaum escaped from the officers through the cunning of his wife, aud on his retarn again to the city, they succeeded in makin, the arrest, The acéwsed wes-detained by the Chief Police for a further hearing, Bowery Tuvatre.—The play of “Lot trian drama of ‘Kl Hyder,” are the pieces announ this evening.

FORT WAYNE AND CHICAGO RAILROAD. The stock subscription to the Fort Wayne and Chicago road amounts to a million and a quarter dollars, and the company, it is stated, have funds in hand sufficient to enable them to prosecute the work to an early completion, stated within twelve months. Some sections will be finished this fall, and a large portion of the line will be ready for the iron in the spring, at the opening of navigation. A railroad is projected to ron between Fort Wayne and ‘Tremont, to form a western extension of the Cleveland, Toledo and Junction line. CATAWIS8A, WILLIAMSPORT AND ERIE RATLROAD. This road has been completed from Bloomsburg to Furnace Run Bridge, and on tie 12th inst. the first locomotive passed over it with an excursion train. The bridge is described as v substantial and handsome. It crosses a depth Of from 110 to 120 feet at the most elevated point. It is the first of seven e structures of its kind, on the same road, between Catawissa and Tamaq The other six are ua. at Fisher’s Run, Mine Gap, Long Hollow, Stranger’s Hollow, Little Catawissa, and Dark Run. AU of these are nearly or quite completed. Great difficul- tues have attended their construction. Laborers and mechanics have been searce duriog the season, and Proouree only through strenuous exertion and at a eavy expense. For the firat turee bridges timber had to be brought from a long distance, and for the rest the contractors purchased timber land and erected two saw mills in the peleiteenncd of Ring- town, from which they were ena dled to procure lum- ber. At the summit of the road a tunnel through the Mahonoy mountain. From this summit to Philadelphia the whole distance by railway is either a level ora descending grade, on whicha single locomotive can carry four or five hundred tons atatime. The highest grade between Williamsport and Philadelphia, by this road, will be 33 feet to the mile. WEST JERSEY RAILROAD.

The Memphis and Nashville Company, and the Louisville, Clarksville and Memphis Company, have agreed to consolidate, and a new charter for that purpose is before the Legislature of ‘Tennessee, which will doubtless be granted. In order to fur- ther the plan, an immediate survey has been order- ed of the line, from Tennessee river to Memphis, on the best route, paying no regard to intermediate points. RAILROAD FROM LOUISVILLE TO MEMPHIS, The citizens of Louisville, in town meeting, have adopted a resolution recommending a city subscrip- tion of $1,000,000, in aid of the Louisville and Mem- phis Railroad, to be expended on the Louisville end of the work, provided that the Mayor and coun- cil stall first be satisfied that sufficieat means to com- plete the improvement to Memphis shall have been obtained from other sources.

Moore, on Broad street. The front door of the store being open they promptly entered and commenced Tanorieg goods. But little time, however, was given them’ for exertion, for soon after they entered, a flask of powder which stood on the » ous the fire, exploded, and with terrific force the watchmen into the street amid « thousand fragments of wood, glass, barrels, sugar- loaves, and other articles. We understand watch- man Freeman received some severe injuries. Bibb was also somewhat but not severely. Mr Moore traded in powder, and the flask, which con- tained about twelve pounds of the article, was laid in a convenient place for sale. Notwithstanding that the store ex'ended back over seventy feet, leaving room for the got pac that the effect from one or either extremity from so small a quantity, could not be much, yet it was not so, for the force was a0 great at both ends as to have driven barrels contai ae from thirty to forty gallons, into the street and hac! ue Two large la, containing fluid and whis- ey, were dashed through the back entranve, and strange to say not dai ed in the least. On the floor above the store a coach factory is kept by Mr. Geo. F. Smith, whose loss by the explo- tion is little below $1,000. A large portion of the flooring was forced up, and some cnerisaen in process of construction, dashed through the doorway ore the er outside and of course considerably shat- tered. Several small articles about his concern were very much damaged and cast about in a chaotic pile. t such general destruction to every article could be brought about by so small a quantity of pow- der is a matter of general one: We dare say that out of all the goods in‘Mr. Moore's store, exten- sive as it was, scarcely $100 worth escaped destruc- tion. Doors, windows, shelving, posts, eounters, in fact every thing about the establishment, were dashed to fragments in every direction. The belief ig that the store had been entered by some burglars, who, after taking what they could, set the place on fire. The conclusion is very rational, as the door was discovered to be open at the first aj pearance of the fire. And much as the evil wrought by the explosion is to be complained of, the conse- quences would unquestionably have been worse if it »had not occurred. A large quantity of burning fluid, whiskey, and other high combustible matter, which would bave furnished food for a destructive confla- gration, were dashed into the street by the explosion, and therefore placed bsyond the range of the fire. The force of the flame, which first threatened rain to the entire property in that neighborhood, was weakened by being scattered into detachedAnd con- sequently impotent fragments, toexhaust themselves, Faun ca all contact with any portion ot the main uilding. Mr. Moore was insured in the Fire Association for $2,000, and in the Marine for $2,000, which it is su) ported will cover his logs, Mr. Smith was not inst A and the loss will fall heavily upon him. Another fire occurred on the opposite side of the dock, near the Danville railroad depot, about half- it 12 o’clock on Saturday night. A small wooden uilding, near Mr. Hiram Smith’s commission house, occupied as a grocory store by John Jordan, was en- tirely burned up its contents. It was said to be the work of an incendiary. The alarm’ of fire about half-past 9 o'clock last night was o:casioned by the burning of a smal! uo- tenanted dwelling rear of Lumpkin’s jail. The fire ‘was put out before any damage was done. FaraL AccipENtT—Exr.osion oF 4 Locoworive BoiLEr.—As the gravel train of cars on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad were leaving Big Spring depot, in Montgomery county, yesterday morning, the boiler of the locomotive Abingdon—to which they were attached—exploded, killing the engineer, William Albaugh, and injuring seriously the fireman, Benjamin Sorrell.—Lynchburg Virginian, Nov. 19. Fire in Aveusta, Ga.—On the 17th inst. a fire broke out in the upper part of the city of Augusta, 3 it on Ellis street, just above Campbell. It was firs discovered in the stable of Mr. E. D. Robinson, and before it could be arrested the stable, a back store of Mr. C. Catlin, and the dwelling of McGuire were consumed. There is no doubt but this fire was the work of an incendiary.
