THANKSGIVING IY NiW YORK. ‘Thaakegiving Day was generally observed in this city yes- torday, business being almost entirely suspended, and tho @ay spent in chareh-going, parading end dimmer eating jm accordance with the time-honored traditions of the | a ritan fathers. ‘The Puritans certainly deserve great consideration for Sustituting this holiday. Before their time religious cere- monies were associated with abstinence, fasting, flagella- ‘Vions, and other uncomfortable observances, that were very bard to comply with. But the Puritans made the notable discovery that people could pray, give thanks, sing hymns and eat fat turkeys for dinner without doing any serious damage to their souls ; and those writers who jnycigh so heartily against the early New Englanders for their austerity and harsh treatment of those who ditfered trom them m opinion, should at least be grateful for ‘Mankegiving day, the most genial and beautiful holiday extant. io churebes yesterday were thronged to hear the thanksgiving addresses delivered by our city clergymen, who make it a point to excel themselves on this interest- ing occasion. We have not space for these eforts, but they were generally of a very interesting character. ‘The charitable iristitutions, also, were not forgotten this year, snd the abundant means supplied to them by our Denevolent citizens will suffice to give the poor food and raiment for some time to come. It 1s very common for people in the rural districts to indulge in denunciations ‘and lamentations at the witkedness and rascality so ram- pant in this city, but they overlook the fact that in pro- portion to its means New York contributes abundantly for the support of the poor, The public institutions on Black- well’s and Randall’s island’ cost this city over $300,000 per year, and private benevolence probably disburses a much larger sum, to care for such of the poor that do not wish to be under the disgrace of being public paupers. Thanksgiving was probably never 90 generally kept im New York as this Season ; the feasting and rejoicing were nearly universal. Formerly New Yorkers proper Detieved only in two days in the year—New Years and the Fourth of July ; but the admixtare of population from the New England States has gradually infused an approximate idea Of the importance of Thanksgiving to ‘tUut which they entertain, and the natural love ot the masses for a holiday, accompanied by possible turkey and plum pudding, soon bring out a union of sentiment in the entire community. sally a large proportion of our city merchants leave their elegant up-town mansions, and spend Thanksgiving day in the old homesteads waieh are peattered all over the fnils and valleys of New England ; ‘and doubtless the principal reason of the more extonded observance of the day in our mi ose from the fact of its having been appointed in this State a week ahead of time, thus giving an opportunity to Eastern men of doing honor to the on at their own homes, and at the same time not neglect their annual pilgrimage to the scenes of their childhood. It was a pleasant vovelty to see the brown stove fronts, nerally go quiet and apparently hieless during business fin, ‘all agog with the bustle of preparation, and the presence of pater familias in morniog yown and ‘slippers. Down stairs servants bustling amid sights, sounds aud smells pleasant to come in contact with when they fore- ehadow the glories of a prospective gratidcation of the inner man. Such roast turkeys and boiled ham, such Doiled turkeys and oyster sance, such pompkin pies and plum pudding, such divhes of lempting vegetables, and tail glasses full of celery ; well, even Old Connecticut will have to work bard to beat New York this year. Then the excitement of the children, the smiling satisixetion of mamma as the cooking prog to the measure of even her desires, and the final fuitiliment of al! hopes and auti lpations around the plentifully tilled board. ‘Down town the scene was by bo mess 80 attractiv the restanrants and eating saloons, which are usally ti tp the middie of the day by crowds of hungry men, were Jet deserted and teunntiess. The waiters lounged \dly, around, occasionally shaking their white napkins in the . age of some starved fy aud vainly Watching for the 1 cemands for “broiled and “roast.” A few melan by at individuals sneaker in by times, with the air of persons sbout to roy a hen reost—feeling that an entrance into such a place, on such o day, was ejuivalent toa confession of entire Jonetess and dosolation—sans wife, sans home, sans friends, sans every Uung. A MAN KILLED AT THE RIVER HOUSE, HARLEM, TERRIBLE FIGHT PETWEEN THE MEMDERE OF A TAR GET COMPANY AND A NUMAER OF OUTSIDERS. Another diabolical homicide oceurred yesterday alter- noon atthe River House, Fourth avenue, between 182d and 1334 streets, Harlom. The cirow ‘of the case are that the members of a target company and a number of rowdies got into a quarrel, which resulted in one of the party being stabbed in the groin, causing almost instant death, and another person badly beaten, It appears from what facts our reporter could learn last evening, that the company in question was the Fox Mus. ketoors, Capt. O'Meara. They started from No. 8 State street, in the First ward, in the morning, about eighty strong, accompanied by Robertson's Band, and a number of gueae, among them Thomas Burns, of the above ward. They proceeded at an early hour to the River House, where they arrived about eleven o'clock, and im- mediately proceeded to shoot for prizes. Every- thing went on satisfactorily and quietly ap to five o'clock; but when the prizes were to be awarded, a dispute aroee, some of the members making objections to certain parties receiving prizes. Words pasted between several of the belligerente, and the quar- rel oon bid fair to end ina regular row, The officers of ‘the company and guests did all they could t put a stop to the disturbance, but their efforts were in vain, for sud denly one of the party, named Charles Moore, was struck ‘on the head with a club, A goneral fight then ensued, when @ man named Slavid Stackpool, who bad accom. panied the guards, was charged with clubbing Moore. As econ as this was reported around, Stackpoo! was instantly set apon by a party, and, finding he was getting the worst of tho fight, he poke =: Le poy! itt towards the river, but was closely followed by hi ants, them’ Charles Moore, David Fox and $a Tasmpeort Just as Stackpool reached the river, he exclaimed, “1 am ‘tabbea!”’ and he instantly fell to the ground. ‘Two of the Twelfta ward officers who were at the ho. tel, on te the fight, ran down to the spot where Stack- pool was stabived ; but they arrived too late to be of any rerviee, as the unfortunate man hal reootved the fatal Liow, aud lay seneeloss on the ground, They immer. ately removed him to the station house, where he died jast as he arrived, and as fyvod thet be had received ‘@ knue stab in the groiv, which resulted jn alunort instant death. ‘As soon as the cry was raised that Stackpool was stab. bed, the members of the company became alarmed and ded ‘in every direction for home, band, alse, retiring without the company ; Charles Moore ond Davil Pox were, however, immediately arrested on the «pot and couveyed to the stavion house aud locked ap. papeon. it was soon ascortaimed , was the allege!

THE FIVE POINTS CHARITIES. {1 will no dowbt appear strange to those who are igno. rant of the change which has been effected of late years in this locality, to learn that it was one of the most attrac Rive places in the city yeetertay. Thankeyiving Day i Always an occasion of unusual interest, not ly to the denizen of the Fivo Points, but to @ largo number of perpons outride of ite limite, whose practical benevolence has done much towards redeeming it from ite former poverty and degradation. Tm accordance with the neval custom of the charitable inat@utiong which have boon es tablished there, al! the chikiren that could be crowded into the rooms prepared for the purpose were invited in to partake of three of the best dinners which have ever been seen at the Five Pointe, We say three dinners, for ag there are three as many dinners. speak of the Five Points Mission, which is the largeet in thie locality, benevolent who die. pense their charity at this partionlar tme through the Mission hisye | exceeded their formor liberality, From friends in Homer, N. Y.,the manarers have re- ceived seventy-forur barrels of shy Potatoes, tarnipe, marenips, and other vegetables, whi'e friende in ia Have sent a hundred barrels pies, Re, and six boxes of clothing. Fulton nvarket contributed one cart toad and ‘one large wagon load provisions, and some dealers in Washington street alded another cart load to the numbor, thore wem, in the woxps of the managers, “ soveray a joads from the hotels,” and private farnilies were no jess generous in their charity. Thero were chickens ‘without number, a wholo army of Thanksgiving turkeys, and in addition to these, several }, aMbs, aud emough beef to make three or four of cattle, All this was cooked at Sweeney's Hotel, and we believe the cooking received full justice. In our brief enumeration of the va- rious good things we were nearly forgetting @ gigantic loaf resented by the proprietor: Crook's dining galoon in the ery, which is a perfect wont! in its way. This loaf weighed one hundred pounds, was six feet long and two feet broad, and the flour of which it was made was of the deat description, As for pies, there seemed to be no end to the quantity or variety, ‘and however short this year’s crop of fruit may bave been, there was certainly an abun- dance at the Mission. Now, from all ui. wt may be fairly concluded that Thanksgiving was, as we have said, a great occasion on the Five Points, and that it was a grand day for the children especially. In the Mission alone 351 ebil- dren of both sexes are educated dajly, and the number who received dinner yesterday, includiny the adults, was. hetween 1,500 and 2,600. Before they sat down to dinnar, the visiters, af whom there was a large crowd, had an opportunity of hearing them go through their singing and other exercises, after Which they had also an opportunity of witnessing their performances at the \mmemse tables which were spread in the school roum, aud which almost bent beneath the weight of the edibles, Mr. Pease’s House of Industry presented tifying spectacle, Mere the same hberal prov made for the poor children, of whom about five hundred sat down to dinner. Of these four hundred are pup! and the rest outsiderg, that is, children who were invited in on this occasion to partake of the good things. The re- ceipts in cash of this institution, exclusive of the provi. sions of different kinds, were one thousand doliars, all of which was given in the form of voluntary contributions. ‘The visiters here were also entertained with siaging and other exercises, and the pleasure they derived from see ing the children do justice to the various good things was hardly lees thon that of the children themselves. ‘The Five Points Union Mission, which is an Institution of more limited means, but which is as meritorious as either of those already referred to, dispensed ‘ts substantial charity t about seventy recipients. Its reeeipis amounted yesterday to fifty dollars, besides # large amount of provisions. OTHER BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES. The annual meeting of the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows was held in the lecture room of Dr. Potts’ church, University place. From the report presented it appears this society is doing much good, though ity means are but limited, A strong effort will be made during the coming year to add to the funds and usefulness of this society. ‘The managers of the Wilson Industrial School ga children under their care a Thankagiving dinner day, at their house No. 137 avenue A, There was a gvodly number of visiters, and the donations were gratily ing to the friends of the institution. THE TARGET COMPANIES YESTERDAY. One of the characteristic features of the city yestesday was the parade of the target companies. Various parties: of juveniles, and also persons who were nut so juvenile, took advantage of the holiday (0 aubulate the streets @ lt inode de militaires, and at gome convenient place to “try their bandon” at the discharge of armes@ feu. Some companies were out because, being a holiday, they could enjoy their excursion and try the accuracy of their fire Without losing any time from business or work; others Were out because they considered it the most enjoyable way of passing the féte. Altogether, there was a large and well got up display of target companies. Some of the companies had fine bands of music; others had not; some were dressed as respeetable citizens; others had a sort of mongrel outfit. The following companies passed our ote day — The DeLaney Light Guard, Capt. Jas, Dickey, passed in the morning, on their first annual excursion tor target practice, to David Pollock's, Weshawken, where they con. tended for thirty valuable prizes. The company number- ed about fifty muskets and made a very creditable ap- pearance. ‘Ibe Fitzgerald Light Guard, Captain Jas. MeDonald, composed of the young men of the Sixth ward, passed our oftice in the morning on their frst annual exeursion to Hoboken, where they were to contend for twenty vali able prizes. They made quite a fine appearance, and al thongh composed of boys, there was a good turn ont, A number of eccentric geatlemen, who folicitate them- selves upon the name of Poo Coon Root Rangers, from the Eleventh ward, returned past our office from a plea- sant shooting rsion to Greenpoint. They were dressed most fantastically, and excited much merriment asthey went by. They reemed to be jolly good fellows irits. It is impossible to say what figure looked Most rideuloas, though the ape Was most prominent The Howard Licht Guard, George H. Jovers, captain, numbering 30 muskets, en route to Hoboken for a day's practice, pext passed along Fulton street, The Vettitt & Croe rd, 50 muskets, followed! thom. ‘The Tysen Rangers, a grotesquely got up body of men on horseback, numbering $2 membory, drew consiteradle mn. They went to East New York and contended nty prizes. A MEAN HOAX.

It would seem as if the announcement of Froe Bread for the Poor’’ would bring together one of the largest mass mectings ever seen in onr city—for the poor of New York, “their pamo is legion.’ When the politicians want @ meeting in Union square, they erect stands, get a band of music, and collect a crowd at short notice. Why should not the announcement of “free bread for the poor of New York” bring together an overflow of howan wretchedness ? They have no masic but the ynawinzs of hunger, no light but the smiles of some dying litte ones at home; but why should not the prom)sc of free bread bring them all togetber simultanconsly? Thos argued the Hrxawp reporter to policeman No. 1,247 in Unien rquare yesterday morning, while waiting fur the promised distri. bution and viewing the crowd collected im answer to the wnnowneement, But No, 1,247 was a praction! noun, and replied, “They don't kuow ‘it; they have ot been 'pro- perly notified.” “But can’t they read the papers?” “No; they can't aford to buy them. There onghi to have been posters pasted up about the «trects."’ Verhaps No. 1,247 was right, for whether the poor of New York knew or not. or whether they did not beleve the story, or had been provided with, good dinners by pther benevolent hands, they were not as a close, There was none of that equalid mi and Wretchedners: which a walk in the by streets of city Will reveal; none of those sunken checks and pallid wes which de- ote disease and af ching » Whieh can daily be seen in some localities.

THE OPERA MATINEE, The crush at the Academy yesterday was not as em- barrassing and perilous to hoops and laces as on the occa- sion of the previous matinee, but the auditorium presented an equally brilliant coup dail, Ten minutes after the doors were opened, there was not @ seat to be had in the parquette, balcony or second tier, and those arriving late had to pay the penalty of a higher ascent for their want of punctuality, It was remarked of yesterday's audience, that it included a much larger proportion of the male sex ‘than is usual at these day entertainments. The fact was of course owing to the general closing of stores and of- fices throughout the city, which enabled many who live at ‘a distance from the Academy to protit by this opportunity of hearing Mile, Piccolomini—that wonderful little en- chantress—who has diverted the golden streams of Pacto- Jus into that heretofore gaping void, the Opera treasury. ‘The succession of monster houses which have been drawn to these matinees, is a ciroumstance truly remark- able, and establishes the truth of what wo have always contended, that it requires only energy and judgment on the part of a manager to obtain from the public all the support necessary to crown his efforts with reputa- tion and fortune, As has been seen dur! present season, there is no hmit to the es to which the favor of the public can be counted upon, 80 long as earnest and judicious efforts are made to deserve it, It is the conviction generally entertained that Mr. Ullman has done the most tor the interest of music in this country tbat it is possible for any director to accom- pligh, which hae eustained him in speculations the euor- mous risk of which would have daunted most other men in his position. It was the courage which he displayed dur- ing the late panic which first gained him the contitence of the stockholders of the Academy. It is the same daring, ne apparently to the verge of rashness, but in reality aged On an urate estimate of his public, which has won for him a support such as has never before been ex- tended to any operatic director. The programme yesterday consisted of the ‘Traviata’? and the second act of the “Barber ot Seville,” with Mile. Piccolomini and Mme. Laborde in the prin- cipal rétes. We have so recently reviewed the perform- ances of both artists in these characters, that it is m- necessary tur us again to point out the passages in which they produced most eflect. The exquisite acting of Mile. Piccolomini carried away, a8 usual, the honors of the matinée, Khougd the florid and well trained vocalization of Maslame Laborde also elicited a fair share of applause. To-night ‘* Robert le Diable” will be given, with Gaz- zaniga and Laborde inthe roles of Alive and Isabella, ‘The pertormance will be an interesting one, as bringing ‘Vogether two artists of strongly contrasting powers. To: morrow (Saturday) evening opera will be played im Brookiyn for the first time, a stage, with ail the “usual accessories, scenery, &¢., having been put up for the oc- casion, The vale of tickets will commence this morning at the prineipal Brooklyn music stores, From the exeite- ment which this event has ereated, it is probable that by the afternoon not a single seat will be left unsold. STEAM FIRE ENGINE IN THE PARK. The J. C. Cary steam fire engine, recently built for the city by Messrs Lee & Larned, was exhibited in the Park yesterday morning.

Naval Intell The United States frigate St. Jawrence was at Rio Ja neiro October The United States sloop of. war Fal Mold Was at Montovideo, Heavy Forgeries Upon the National Bank or Austria, Some six weeks ago Mr. Gustave Speyer, banker, of No 72 Broadway, purchased about $1,500 worth of hundred guilder notes on the National Bank of Austria, from a per gon who was apparently a foreigner. The notes were sent to Europe for redemption; but what way Mr. Speyer’s astonishment a few day ago, when they were returned to him as forgeries, The news came by the steam. er Vanderbilt, and upon its receipt immediate steps were taken to forret out the perpetrator of the fraud. Tho matter was placed in the hands of Captain Leonard and detectives McDougall and Wildey, who forthwith proceeded to work, Upon inquiry, it was found that several thousand dollars worth of the spurious money had been palmed off upon brokers in Wall street, and so good was the counterfeit, that even the most expert judges of Muropean bank bills were among ho victims, From information derived from Mr, Speyer, a Hungarian uamed Jolin Keagi, who stated that ho was nterested in a sort of brokerage and forwarding establishment located at No, 22 West Broadway, was taken into custody on suspicion of being implicated in the ewindle. From West Broadway the officers went to No. 20 City Hall place, where they arrested a Swiss, named John Sturzenegger. These men, it was al- leged, had passed several of the counterteits in Walt street; and on being called to an account for they stated that they received the b named Henry Rohner, also living at way. Rohner, on being taken into eustody, pretended that he got the bills from a fellow countryman of his named Gilbert Neschmuséer, whom he accidentally met one evening in Forty-fourth street. He described Nesch- musser’s appearance and told the police where he lived; but upon making diligent inquiries, the officers could find no trace of the individual in question, and were compelled to come to the conclusion that he existed oy in the ima. ‘ination of Mr. Rohner. Stil! Rohner insisted that he got the ills from Neschmusser, and went on to state that he had offered one of the counterfeits for sale at the broker's otlice of Mr. Bernhiemer, in Greenwich street, where he was Offered $40 for it, but that he refused to part with it op such low tertis. He then tok it, be said, t Belmont’s office, in Beaver street, where he sold it to ‘better adv: tage. Robner was questioned at great length, but. the police were unable to get anything further out ef bim, What he stated was very vusatisfactory, indeed, but ne- vertheless the officers had to make "be Dest of it, Keagi Was also examined with a view of ascertaining who the originators of the scheme were and where the bills were manufactured; but nothing of a satisfactory nature could be elicited.
