‘Oty Intelligence. iw Youk Avaxnavau.—A regular meeting of this as- ‘Bociation was held in the Chanccllor’s room of the New ‘York University at half-past seven e’clock last evening— ‘Mr. Jehn A. Foster, President, in the chair. The minutes ‘the last meeting having been read and confirmed, a ‘Wery intercating address was delivered by Mr. W. Evert. ‘won Smith, on ‘‘ True Heroism.”’ The scope of the oration ‘was to demonstrate that the hero was not to be sought on ‘the battle field alone, far true heroism was not impelled wietne renown or the expectation of posthumous Donor. It was to be found among those who suf- bys im the cause of patriotism, charity and ; although the names ot such men.were seldom handed to. posterity. In the course of his remarks Sens. paid a very eloquent tribute to Girard, the F of the college of that name, Dr. Kane, and the jae Ale —_ TN a aeaala for their country @uring war of Inde} nce. ‘An essay was then read by Mr. George W. Farley, fol- owed by aselection by Mr. Colgate on the “Hill of Sci- ence,” which was very well read and elicited much ap- Pimne \Rditor” (Mr. Campbell), then read a series ef humorous papers-—“ The ‘Cheese Knife,” ‘A Muddy Day,” “Lord have Mercy upon Us,” “The Pork Butcher,” &c.—which greatly delighted the audi- and more especially the ladies. ebate then took lace, and was conducted with con- siderable abiiity, ag to whether ‘fear or the hope of re- ‘ward was the greater incentive of human life.”’ The Vice President, Mr. H. Johnson, decided in favorjof reward, and the President onthe other side, The meeting then adjourned at rather a late hour. SamuG of THe Sreamsmy Brack Wanwon.—Vesterday noon, United States steamship Black Warrior, Captain Smith, sailed for Havana with the United States mails, and ninety passengers. Among the Jatter were R. J. Smith, President of the Hamilton Insurance Company, and F. A. Paimer, President of the Broadway Bank, who both go to Havana for the benefit of their health. Fyre wy Berkaan Breest.—Ata little after six o’clock Yast night a fire was discovered on the third floor of the Duilding 43 Beekman street, in the fishing tackle manu- factory of Jeremiah Falvey—damage about $100. The fire ‘was extinguished by Sergeant Wintringham, of the Second Precinct, assisted by other persons. The firemeu were Promptly on the spot. A fracas occurred between the members and runners of several engiae companies, in Beekman street, near William. Joseph ffutton, foreman ef No. 40 engine, was struck a violent blow on the face, which cut his nose and injured his eye very badly. He was taken to the City Hospital by his friends. His injuries are said to be of a very serious character. The blow must have been inflicted by some hard substance. Dur- img the mélée the Second precinct police arrested a fireman, but he was soon afterwards released on the representation of Assistant Engineer Cornwell, who said there was no one to make a charge against the pri- soner. The fight is said to have been started by a crowd known ag the Dead Rabbits and Stockholders, Free ws Crry Hawt Prace.—About nine o'clock yes- ‘erday morning a fire broke out in a row of stables tm the rear of No. 26 City Hall place, and before the flames ‘were extinguished about ten stables were destroyed. One horse, owned by James Barry, was burned to death; valued ‘at $175; not insured. The value of the stables was about $200. They were owned by John Martin, and are not in- sured. The fire is supposed to have been caused through the carelesenesé of a man in Mr. Barry’s ewploy in the use of acandle. Suspicion was thrown upon another oc- cupant of one of the stables, but on the matter bejng in- vestigated by the Fire Marshal, it was evident thit the fire owes its origin to carelessness, as above stated. ry Canysmie Staret.—About nine o'clock last night a Ate was discovered on the second floor of the building 381 Chrystie street, in'the brass musical instrument shop of Christopher Stark. It originated from a furnace, the tloor ‘enderneath it igniting from the heat. Damage about $10; not insured. The building is owned by H. A. Cragin. It is damaged about $10; insured for $2,000 in Rutgers, and $2,500 in the Merchants’ Insurance Company. ‘Tue Fine on StaTEN Istanp.—The fire Wednesday night at 10 o’clock, on Staten Island, was a barn adjoining the Seamen’s Retreat, owned by C. Vanderbilt. There were about twenty tons of hay in the building, which were de- stroyed. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Ho! ror Tue West.—Wednesday afternoon,the Children's Aid Society, in Astor place, sent eighty poor and friendless boys to the West, by the New York and Erie Railroad, where good homes will be provided for them. The party was divided into two companies; one of them, consisting of twenty boys, went out under the charge of Mr. C. L. Adams. They are bound for Illinois, where good homes have been secured for twelve of the party. The otber company consisting of sixty, went out under the charge of H. Friedgen, and Assistant Superintendent Connor, of the Wewsboys’ lodging House. They are bound for Indiana. Before leaving the city the boys were required to divest ‘Memselves of their old clothes, and after a thorough ‘Dathing were supplied with warm and comfortable cloth- img. They left in the three o'clock train, and went away happy and contented, apparently pleased with the pros- pect of fine homes in the West. They will not be disay Pointed. These boys are from the lowest class of societ Geserted and negiected by their parents, they grow up in ‘the world with the rapidity and rankness of weeds; and ‘with no one to care for their mental or moral culture, they foon acquire vicious and dissolute habits, and uniess res- eved by the charitable they become candidates for the State prison, or perhaps the gallows. The noble chari ubat thus snatches this class of our population from the jaws of crime, certamly deserves the gratitude of the public. Bouse or Drreynios ror Wrrvesses.—This institution, organized under the Police law of 1857, for the detention of witnesses who are unable to furnish security for their appearance in criminal proceedings yis located at Nos. 86 and £8 White street. It is under the control of the Police Gemmissioners. It consiets of two five story brick houses Shrown into one; one portion being used for the female and the otber portion for the male inmates, The win- dows are securely fastened by iron bars, yet, notwith- standing this necessary precaution, the inmates enjoy the utmost freedom of the building, and are furnished with good, substantial food, warm rooms, and clean beds. Medical and surgical aid is always at hand. Under the old system, this class of witnesses were confined in com- mon with persons charged with crime; very little if any istinction being made between the two classes. Conse- juently to be a witness was no pleasant situation. Bo- Sides, it was often the case when the ehystering lawyer and jailer were in collusion, that the accuser and accuzed might occupy adjoining cells. Under these circumstances ‘@ large portion of the criminal cases were rettled by ‘counse! bribing witnesses for a consideration; thus making them not only compound a felony, but commit the direct ‘erime of perjury. The White street institution, however, ie susceptible of improvement in regard to painting and repairs. Isaac Messerole is the warden, and Dr, Water- ‘man the surgeon. ‘Tie American Cotoxy on Swan Istand.—The brig Golden Lead, Capt. Johnson, sailed Wednesday with reinforcements for the American colony settled on Swan Island, among whom were two families. The colonists go we!l supplied ‘with grains and seeds and farming implements, and it is the intention of the company who occupy the’ island, in ‘addition to mining and shipping guano, to be prepared’ to afford supplies to whalers and other vessels who may touch there, There is good anchorage for large vesseis im Land’s Bay, on the southwest side of the island, in ‘three and a half to five fathoms, within 200 yards of the ‘beach, where they may ride with safety at all seasons. ‘The clipper ship Robert Center sails for the above destina- tion in a few days. Ovr River Pataces.—The Hendrick Hudson, Francis Skiddy and New World, ali first class North river steam- boats, are now lying at the foot of Liberty street, receiv- ing repairs and being cleaned and thoroughly overhauled, ‘AN Ov Hoax Reviven.—The family of a gentleman con- nected with the law courts, and residing at 58 East Twen- ty-eighth street, have been for some time past the victims of a heartiessand unmeaning hoax. Since the day before Christmas up to Wednesday last numbers of doctors, den. tists and private citizens are lured to the above residence ander the plea that some of the family are unwell, or that the gentleman of the house desired to see them on impor. tant businese. What makes the hoax more heartless is the fact that eight members of the family have died within the last two years. The detectives are on the watch for the prime mover and the agents in this affair, who are two young lads.

A Gramery mr Lomo—Waat rt Cost to Sex New YoRk.— Yesterday morning a regular Jersey Blue, calling himself James Van Gilden, and hailing from mere, ee county, N. J., appeared before Justice Welch at Hall Police Court, and stated that he had allowed himself to be duped ona bogus watch, and desired that his mo- ney, amounting to some $12, might be obtained for him by the police. He stated that, while passing up Green- wich street, he heard that welcome cry of ‘‘Going, going going,”’ and, having some Joose change with him, he al~ lowed himself the privilege of going in. A man acting ws auctioneer was mounted on a bigh stand, he said, and in front stood a young man bidding on a watch which the auctioneer held n his hand. After watching the youth he saw that he felt rather anxious to perchase the watch, and soon entered into conversation with him about the sale. The young man said that if be would pur- chase the watch, which was set up for $8, he would give him $4 for so doing, as he had mot enough money with him, but would have te go but a short tistance toget it, ‘Ihe Hohokus gentleman remarked that'he always had agreat disposition to be accommodating, and therefore felt proud to have the opportunity of accommodat- ing the stranger. He accordingly plenked down the $12, and turned to go with the young stran- ger to his money, when be was surprised to find that he was not there; how he got out Hohokus could not tell, but be could almost swear the floor opened and passed him down. Turning to the auctioneer, he soon learned that the watch was werthless, and of no value whatever, This was another thunderbolt for poor Hoho- kus. But, as is always usual in such cases, he was very anxious to get his money back. Suddenly a new friend turned up, and took an interesting part in his misfortunes, who, by the way, appeared almost as mysterious as his younger friend had disappeared. Through the solicita- tions of friend No, 2 hv was persuaded to bid on another watch, apd returning the first watch, ymid three dollaré more for the bargain. Feeling ‘assured that he had this time got the kest of the auctioneer, he was about to leave, when he was induced by friend No. 2, who professed to be a jeweller, to accompany him to auother auction store, where he promised to sell the watch and get more ‘money for it. On reaching the second auction shop the auctioneer offered the complainant $18 for his bargain, but said that he could not pay him short of ten days. ‘This, he thought, would not do; but the auctioneer refused to give up the watch, and finally put it up and sold it for $4. ‘Three dollars and a half were then handed Hohokus, fifty conts being retained as auc- tioneer’s fees. One dollar he was also induced to pay his Asum of half a million was sent by express to Boston. ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House this morning were $21,224,404 42, and the balances $1,489,185 01. Annexed is a synopsis of the bill to amend the Banking act of this State, introduced in theSenate by Mr. Johnson :— 1, Stocks hereafter to be deposited shall in all cases be New York beaters Oe toafive per cent stock, or one-half State stocks; stock not to be taken above their par value. 2. Authorizes the Superintendent to accept one half State stocks, and not to exceed one-half in the bonds of any city, village or town, izaued in pursuance of an act of the Legislature, and producing seven per cent interest, said bonds not to be taken at a rate above par. We have received the following communication:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Your daily allusions to a ‘leading operator”? of the New York Stock Exchange areas well understood as if you printed the name of the man. Now, will you permit one of your reacers to inquire upon what principle you are let to make this public reference to an individual who pro- secutes bis business in a most unexceptionabdle spirit, and whose career in Wall street has marked by the strict- est integrity and fair dealing? Why should he be a mark for the comments of the pres? ‘What purpose does it serve, and what additic amount of light is afforded to the public upon the financial questions to which your co- lumn is devoted, by such a course? Respectfully, &c. If the operator in question conducted his business on the Stock Exchange as other operators conduct theirs, the press would never single him out for remark. It is be- ‘cauge the enormous and overwhelming amount of his opera- tions positively sways the market tor the time being, that it new aoe for io a showing him | becomes the duty of those who report the affairs of the Stock are el iar ect Tg Goer pates ae Exchange for public information to make an exception in his case, and to state the facts concerning his movements. Were they to neglect this duty, they would fail in pre senting the public with a truthful picture of the business on the Stock Exchange. To persons, for instance, who are ignorant of the operations of this epeculator, tho gradual rise in stocks which his purcbases have caused during the past month would appear like the effect of outaide buying for investment; and, relying on this erroneous impression, many might be induced to become buyers likewise. The fact is, as every one in Wall street knows, that there has been and is no oulside buying at all: and a purchaser coming into the market at present would be almost certain to lose his monoy. Were we, therefore, to act as our correspondent seems to wish, and to omit all allusion to the course of the leading operator, we should not only fail very conspicously as reporters of the stock market, but would be instrumental in inflicting injury on innocent persons. These are our reagons, and these the purposes we have to serve; our cor- respondent can judge whether they are sound or not. As to the integrity and fair dealing of the leading operator, not a'word against either has been printed in these columns. The statement of the St. Louis banks for the week end. ing the 22d inst. was as follows:— his aid, In hopes of procuring his money back, Justice Welch, after hearing the complaint, issued a warrant for one of the parties, named Levy, who was soon brought before him and committed to the Tombs to answer. Jus. tice Welch also committed the complainant to the wit prison, White street, in order that there might be no take in his being on hand to appear against the alleged swindler. Poor Hohokus was much surprised on finding he had to be locked up, and told the Judge that his wire was all alone, with a large lot of cows, hogs, &c.,on her bands, and he must go home, The Judge, however, re- fused fo grant him the privilege, saying that it was’ the only way to secure a conviction, as the parties swindled always cleared out, the auctioneer being anxious to refund the money sooner than stand trial. Brre.ary.—John O’Brien and Mark P. Kenney were taken into custody yesterday morning, on a charge of having burglariously entered the lager bier establishment of Charles W. Weschke, No, 166 West Twenty-ninth street, with intent to steal. Peliceman Hall, of the Twentieth precinct police, deposed that as he was patroll- ing his beat in Twenty-ninth street, he detected the prisoners in the act of coming out of Mr. Weschke’s pre mises. O'Brien in his effort to escape, hurt himself seriously, by jumping out of the second story window. ‘The prisoners Said they were acquainted with some per- son in the brewery, and were only endeavoring to see the individual in question, when the officer came up and arrested them.
