PROGRESS OF [8 REVOLUTION. Details of the Engagement at Baire. Puerto Principe Reported ina Blaze of Revolt. Commissioners to Havana Offer to Lay Down Arms. REBEL ACCOUNTS. ‘The Fight Near Baire—Capture of a Contra- band . SchoonerPeabody Rifles for the Spanish Troops—Aunexation Cry of the Rebels, HAVANA, Nov. 5, 1868. A severe encounter took place on the 25th ult. be- tween the Spamish forces under Colonel Quiros, numbering 1,000 men, and the patriots under Manuel Lucas Castillo and Milanes, yumber- img 000, in the vicinity of Baire. According to the official Spanish report Colonel Quiros, supposing that the patriots would fly at the first fire of the regular troops under his command, only or- gered an advance of one company of the Corona Tegiment, supported by one company of the Cubs Tegiment, leaving the remaining companies in re- serve; but he was speedily convinced that, so far from waiting to bo attacked, the patriots were about to attack him, and be ordered up his whole force, Jeaying only one company in reserve. Of the pa- triots 450 were mounted. They were armed only with machetes; 150 more were on foot, armed with rifies and revolvers, Immediately on the advance of the Spgpigh troops the 450 cavairy debouched on the main road and charged the Spanish trddps_ wir, such desperate and determined valor that 4 nag no time allowed them te reload »" or the first fire, but were compelled iy rely soley on the bayonet for defende, fighttug, 48 the *icial report says, foot by not to fhatDtain thelr ground. after a hand to hand counter, Which tasted one hour and three quarters, the Spanisn troops retreated to Batre, having sus- tained a loss of 135 men in killed and wounded; the Joss of the patriots was eighty. As the telegraph wires are cut in this direction the news was not re- ceived until the 2d inst. At Macho y Portilla the Spanish schooner Anda- lusia captured a schooner that had just succeeded in landing a cargo of arms and ammunition for the Patriots. A skirmish took place on the 26th ult. at Bicana Dbetwoen the Spanish troops under Commandante Rafael Jerez and a small force of patriots, with no important resulta, although the oficial report, ag usual, claims that the patriots were repulsed. On the 25th ull. another encounter took place be- tween Haire and Jiguan! between Colonel Quiros and the patriots. The engagement was indecisive and the loss heavy on both sides. By the steamer Columbia, arrived this morning, the Spanish goveruament has received a small lot of Peabody rifics.

Puerto Principe is the Second town in importance of the Eastern Depart- ment, Sautiago“de Cuba being the capital. The population is 40,000, and the revolt general among all classes. By the time this reaches you the revolu- tion will have broken out in the Western Depart- ment, not farfrom this city. We want no reforms; our cry is ‘Independence of Spain and annexation to the United States.” Expected Attack on Santingo De Cuba by the Patriots—Formation ot a Provisional Gove ernment. HAVANA, Nov. 7, 1868. ‘The Spanish government is endeavoring to con- ceal the fact of the Puerto Principe rising, but we have positive information of the rising having taken place, as asserted in our letter of the Sth inst. per Cuba via Baitimore. The telegraph wires are all cut, 90 that the only communication is by sea. We daily expect a special couricr with full detatls. An attack on Santiago de Cuba by the patriots Is @aily expected. The Spanish government has de- posed Ravillac, who was luclined to treat with the patriots, and hes sent Fructuose Garcia Mufion to supersede him as Governor of the Hasiern Depart- ment. Count balmasada, the ‘‘segundo cabo,” or second in command, also left this day to take tle supreme command of all he Spanish forces in the Eastern Department. A rising in the Western Department is imminent. The whole island will then probably be declared in a state of siege. The patriots have formed a provisional govern- ment at Bayamo and have under arms twelve thousand men. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS. The Excitement Alleyed in Havana—Fricndly Assurances from the Provisional Govern- wment—No Searches ot Vessels Made—Gove ernment Account of the Baire Engigee ment=Itebel Press at Baynmo. Havana, Nov. 5, 1868, ‘The intense excitement which has existed here for the past few wetks, as explained by telegram and fetter, is gradualy becoming ailayed, and matters are assuming their normal condition. This has been brought about by the publication in the official ga- gette of a telegram dated the 29th October, from the Minister of War of the provisional government to General Leraundi, informing him that the manifesto of the government and a circular from the Colonial Minister would be sent by the steamer which left on the 30th, declaring much satisfaction with the in- habitants of this isle, and, much to the wonderment of everybody, expressing the hope that his Ex- cellency would continue to be inspired by those sentiments of patriotism for which he fe 80 eminently distinguished; and also of ® communication froin the Colonial Minister brought by the steamer which arrived here on the 24, dated the 13th of October, reciting the glorious events which had taken place in the peninsula, as- suring the loyal inhabitants that their interest was in the mind of the government and expressing the hope that his Excellency would know how, on this occasion, to cement the bonds between Spain and ‘this province. These documents, though of little importance in themselves, have had the effect of convincing the people that no effort will be made to cut them off from the advan accruing from the revolution in Spain or to make them ee Teaeaine in an attempt to advance the interests of isabeila, and the result has been an almost immediate ailaying of the excite- ‘ment lately so intense. The volantes and other ve- tee with the fair Habatieras, are again secn upon the streets as numerous as ever and the plazas are every evening filled to overfowing. ‘The statement is not true that the authorities here are in the habit of searching the steamers for news- papers contatuing “contraband” articies and infor mation.

Havana, Nov. 5, 1868, The stock of sugar in this town is now about 175 thousand boxes, Tie returns of export from all the ports in Cuba only reach to September 30, ana from these it appears that the aggregate quantity of sugar exported since January 1 up to said period was as follows:—1,545,000 boxes, against 1,286,000 in 1867, and 630,000 hogsheads, it 405,000 last year. The shipments of molasses were 379,000 hogsheads, against 274,000 last year, ‘Of the 620,000 tons of ex] this y sugar exported rear from the whole island to September 30 the United States alone has taken 831,000 tons; and of the 247,000 tons of molasses exported the United states has taken no less than 213,000 tons.

Rebel Account of the Bombardment of Jere- mie—Loets of Coffee in the Rebel’ Hande— Saluave’s Quarrel With De Lorme—Hoew Salnave Get Sick=Selzare of an American Schooner at Jacmel. HAVANA, Nov. 4, 1868. By the way of Kingston, Jamaica, we have news from Hayti to the 17th ult. It may be regarded as through sources unfavorable to Salnave. On the Sth the Alex. Pétion, with Salnave on board, accompanied by a small steamer and three sailing vessels, appeared off the town of Jérémie. Monsieur G. Larcade, who holds the dual office of English and French Consul, and the American Consul went on board and inquired of Sainave what were his inten- tions. He responded to bombard the town. They then expressed the hope that the residences and stores of foreigners would be respected, and asked what time would be given to remove the women and children. They were informed by Salnave that he could not allow any delay whatever to interfere with his plans and that he could not guarantee the direction of his missiles. The Consuls then left the vessel, but had scarcely set foot on shore when the bombardment commenced and was continued until this evening, when a report reached Jérémie that In conse@Bence of the absence of Sal- nave, Nissege, Saget and Generals Normil and Lynch had marched with @ large force on Archaie and were proceeding to invest Port au Prince. This at once determined Sainave to retire, and he accord- ingly left Jérémte and his bombardment ceased. It is stated that the entire town of Jérémie has been destroyed, every house more or less shattered or burned, and that numerous deaths resulted, among them @ lady and three children kilied in the con- sulate by a cannon bail. ‘The insurrectionary troops and the inhabitants of Jeremie, as is stated, behaved very valiantly, stand- ing by their guns in the forts to the last; but the; proved no match for Salnave’s artiilery, with whic! he shelled the town at a distance of four miles and beyond the range of the forts. Several engagements on lane had feken ot between the insurgents and the Piquets, in b On every occasion the latter was routed with loss. The next destination of the Pétion is said to be Aux Cayes, where her arrival ‘was anxiously awaited, the forts being, we are told, Well abie to cope with her and the inhabitants aré very determined, @ revolutionists at Jérémie, Aax Cayes and Jacmel have so much coffee on hand that they are anxious to charter a steamer for its removal to somo port in the United States or Jamaica. Commodore Phililmore having had it represented to him tuat the Haytien war steamer Alex Pétion is doing damage to the property of foreign residents in Hayti, has ordered her proceedings to be watched by her Majesty's veasels of war. The gunboat Dart 1s at Port au Prince and the steam ram Niobe has gone to Aux Cayes, Jeremie and Cape Hayti. Salnave has had @ serious quarrel with his chief olitical adviser, Mons. de Lorme, up to the time of ¢ revolution Secretary of State and more recently Minister from Hayti to the Court of St. James. De Lorme has been removed from his high office, and a controveray in which neither party is especially com- plimentary gives Mom do to printers in Liver- Pool and Port au Michael Domingue, proclaimed President of the South, as stated in previous despatches, is a pure African, He has $10,009,000 of Paper money ad an abundant supply of luce. It is said that large Bumbers of the * Piquets,” whom once com- manded, and now form the flower of Salnave’s forces, are deserting to him on account of the disap- pointment they expertenced on seeing Salnave, Whom they had supposed to bea black man, but found to be a mulatio. These facts becoming known to Sainave resulted ina ft of grief and disappoint- ment which brought on a fit of apoplexy. if the foregoing statement is true the attack must have been very mild, as your correspondent at Port au Prince, under date of the 26th October, mentions that Salnave had returned.to tie attack of the southern ports on board the Petion Jacmel is reported surrounded by 2,000 Piquets, At a distance of about two miles from town.

Legitimate successor of that coarser kind of comique native American opéra_ bouge known as negro minstrelsy, the sort of entertain- ment provided at this establishment has, under able plesentation and competent management, grown into a standard order of amusement in this city. ‘The advent of Lingard here was In the nature of an experiment, but his (ar Jinks took the town by storm and established him at once and without any difficulty as a favorite, So much for his opportunity; now for his manner of utilizing his success.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC—BROOKLYN.—Mr. Theodore ‘Thomas, the now celebrated orchestral leader, gave the second of a series of his orchestral concerts at the Academy last night. On this occasion the pro- gramme was varied by the first appearance in Brook- lyn of Mrs. Jennie Kempton, a soprano singer, well known to concert goers of New York. She rendered several choice gelections from the different operas and the song ‘‘Red, White and Blue’’ in a style sum. ciently pleasing to call forth the applause of a large and intelligent audience. Mr. Thomas’ two orches- tras as usual were found perfectly conversant with the most diificuit en of the German and Italian composers, and the conductor himself was warmly welcomed to Brooklyn.

LECTURES 3.237 NIGHT. Madame Audonard—Debut of this Distine guished Authoress—A Pelite Reception and a Great Success, Madame Olympe Andouard is well known in the higher circles of tne literary world. The name Audouard is of good repute in France, one of its bearers, Mathiea Francois Audouard, having been a distinguished physician in that country through the reigns of the First Emperor, the Restoration, the Citizen King, the republic of 1848, and even yet in the Second Empire. Being decorated for his services to the State by the First Napoleon, he lived long enough to be respected by his countrymen and to see them ruled over by a third Napoleon. Whether Madame Ja Comtesse de la Morlidre, whose family name is Audouard, be a direct descendant of this hon- ored son of his country, she at any rate does honor tohisname. She has been travelling in the United States for some time, and, sojourning now for & limited period in this city, a few friends of her well known political opinions and admirers of her ac- knowledged superior ability succeeded in prevailing upon her to consent to appear in public and entertain her hearers with a series of “conversations.” The term of “lecture? would be inappropriate to her essays. Judging from her first appearance yesterday she is entirely unique and rises superior to the hackneyed style of this Species, Now so common in thisiand. After the first few sentences she put herself, as a believer in mesmer- ism would say, completely en rapport with her audi- ence, and she became the centre of a drawing room cirele where she alone does all the talk and the audl- ence are the charmed listeners. Her diction is per- fect and the purest of French, and hep delivery that of a complete master, though quiet and undemon- strative. Tt was happy idea of tnvever had the manage- ment to select the cogey dnd comfortable private thea- tre of the Untyq League Club House for her readings. appen aetna all agree with her own personal Boe Oi ce, and her yoice would have been too we womanly for any much larger hall, Much 6f the charm Would have been lost had she ap- eared at Stemway Hall, or at the Academy of lusic or at any similar place, Madame Audouard ts 4 lady in the full sense of the word—in_ the prime of life, with all the charms. of youth preserved, a plas- tic face of Grecian mould, enlivened by sparkling Hashes of intellectual eyes. Wutle looking upon her one is carried back involuntarily to the days of the first French revolution und ts induced to believe that thus, and not otherwise, could have appeared to their compatriots Madame Roland or Madame Recamier. At her first appearance last night the theatre hall of the club house, on the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Madison avenue was well filled with a highly intelligent and very fashionable assembly. At @ little before nine o'clock the folding doors opened and Madame Auduard entered and was received with Spmanee, She seated herself, gracefully bow- ing to the audience, at the reading desk placed for her use ay the stage, and spreading her manu- script before her began to read. She has well se- lected the name of “conferences” for her readings, for they are in a conversational form and occasion- ally seem to call for a response from the audience, which, in the shape of applause, never fails. Her theme was:—‘Victor Hugo"’—‘Sa Vie je “Napoleon 1.°—“Son Coup d’Etat;” “! nati ments de Victor Hugo;” “L’Expiation.” She began by announcing herself a friend of the republic, & republican in earnest. Her subject would be “Victor Hugo and his Political Life;” for Hugo’s importance was more of a political than lite- rary character. He was a man of genius, of honesty, a trae, sincere democrat and ardent republican. In cosmopolitan conception these terms were not sepa- rated, though here in this country there were divi- sions of parties into democrats and republicans, and whether she was one or the other she did not know ie on ‘was detestable everywhere, whether it came in the guise of Louis XIV. or Marat, Louis Napoleon or Soulouque. The distinguished lady then gave her ideas of aristocracy, that the oid ariatocrac} were at least respectable; spoke of the aristocracy, of intel of learning, of probity and of the present ce, lemands for the realization of the rights 0 man, and here she introduced a letter from Victor Hago to herself, in which he favored the political aud civil equality of the black race, Mér description of the character of Victor was one which could have been Lali only by & bedi and adoring heart.

Audouard then traced fhe life aud the intellectual development of Vietor Hugo through the reign of the Bourbons succeeding Napoleon, during the reign of Louts Philippe and ins gradual conversion to true republicanism; that as the light appeared to his mind the shadows fied. The Revolution of 1848 was alluded to and the scenes of the coup d’état detailed. Napoleon III. was spoken of in very severe terms, and white Madame Audouard sparkled with bitin, sarcasins and witty bon mots her ianguage remaine: beautiful and dignified. ‘The History of the oni jerity ige Napoleon III. by the jadgment t Re pronounced in his work on “‘Nanoleon Le Petit.” exile of the poet was very feelingly referred to a8 a voluntary one and as alone ag ue with the dignity of such @ man. During this part of the reading the Madame recited several verses from Hi fervent and poetic spouse for liberty, closing with the invocation m the ‘“Marseil- laise,”” “Aux armes, citoyens!” ‘This was done with much dramatic force, though without any attempt at staginess. The reading closed with a poetic eifusion, having the First Napoicon for its object. It described his meteoric career and its close at Waterloo, and the description of that tremendous battle was, indeed, very tonching, particularly the words put into the mouth of Napoleon—“Mes soldats morts—Mot vaincew!” It ended with a vision which appeared to Napoleon in the tomb, recounting to nim at the ea Of his life, and finally announcing itself as bein 18me Brunafre,” the day on which Na- poleon, after his return from Pavpt, dispersed the “Council of Five Hundred” with his soldiers, ‘This was Verpiation, perhaps intimating that Napo- leon’s forcible destruction of popular representa- tive government on that day was revenged or ex- Voce eg his defeat at Waterloo and his death as Madame Audonard retired amid the warm and well merited applas of the audience, and it was the opinion of all it that her first “conference” with a New York audience was a complete success, Her future seances will take place at the same locali- ty, a3 follows:—November 1 “The Literary Works of Victor Hi Notre Dame de Paris, Ernani, Ruy Bias, Le Roi s’amuse—and His Poetry.” No- vember 20—*History of Comedy and Tri ly—The Bards, Troubadours, the Mysteries, Moliére, Cor- neille, Racine.” November 24—‘The Political and Civil Rights of Woman.” November 29—“Turkey— The Harem—Turkish Government.” And the sixth and last on November 30—Egypt—‘‘Ite Manners, Cus- toms, Politics and Monuments,”’ “The Young Man of Our Day.” About 1,200 persons assembled last evening in the large hall of the Cooper Institute building to listen to au address by the Rev. W. H. Anderdon on the sub- ject, “The Young Man of Our Day," the proceeds of the entertainment to be devoted to the fund of the St. Vincent Hospital. Fully one-half the audience was composed of ladiea, and a number of prominent divines, juristg and philanthropists occupied seats onthe platform. Rev, William A, Starrs occupied the chair. fipon appearing before his auditory the reverend speaker was gregted with a gnthusias' outburst of applause, and proceeded to say that it alfjtdeq him great pleasure on the occasion of hia first address in this country on a secular subject to speak in behalf of such @ noble charity ag St. Vin- cent’s Hospital. He was reminded in commenc- ing the subject of his discourse of a sentence used y Pericles two thousand years ago, on the occasion & public funeral at Athens of the bodies of some ous. Greeks recently killed in battle, in view of hese young men, cut off in the midst of life, and for whom their country mournea, “the State that has lost them feels as though the had been taken out of the year.” The late war in this country had doubtless made such a sentiment as this come liome to many @ bosom in this land and filled many an eye with tears. The conclusion which he was about to arrive at, although it might seem strange to announce a conclusion before he had reached his premise, was—“‘let the young man take care of himself, and see whut he is going to do,” Wordsworth had said ‘The child te father to the man.” As the child was and as he grew 80 was the man. because it was the man that came after the child. If the child was ‘father to man" it was also equa'ly logical that the young man was father to the old man, and the young man became, therefore, a very 1mportant persopage, not only in the family, but in social and comm I Olt cles, and perhaps in the nation. One way in which the young man sometimes failed to understand him- self was in having a very opinion of himself. He was essentially hopeful ofttimes about many things which were in themselves delusive. But this ‘was not necessarily @ fault, a8 we soon outlive our delusions, It was this hopefulness that impelied him forward in the belief that there was something to do, and led him to resolve to accom- lish it, And while he was strong in this ope he was equally weak in faith, using the word “faith? in the sense which implied the powerof putting side the present ju order \o live for the future. at many young men lacked was singleness of view, directness of aim, concentration of power and perseverance, anil this was a want agaiust Which brilliant powers merely could not pre- vatl. Edmund Stone's reply to the Duke of Argyie when asked how he had acquired his great kuow- ledge Was, “I Was (q@uglit to read, and 1 don’t kuow 3 what else a man requires ii me xmae uh in order to gain any science than twenty-four lettera of the alphabet.” One the “great disadvantages under which young men of our day labored was that “our day’? was 4 day of very superficial acquire- ments, and consequence was that we were a very superficial set of people. Our day was a day of im- mense commercia' concentration of mind, and there could be no question that the practical effect of this upon the rising generation was to narrow still fur- ther the opportaniies which the young men might have had of making their early years years of useful and mature self-improvement. In conclusion he adveisd young men to acquire and adhere to (nape of indomitable self-culture and self-discipline, and at the termination of his re- marks he was warmly applauded. THE WORKINGWOMEN’S ASSOCIATION, Vain Attempt of the Sorosis te Get Control— Susan B. Anthony Triumphs—Almost a Scrimmage. The Society of Workingwomen has at last been fairly launched upon the stormy sea of existence, the stays and stanchions have been knocked aside and the brave bark, all sanguine but solitary, starts out upon her momentous voyage freighted with the hopes and aspirations of Miss Susan B, Anthony and those of four score single and married ladies be- sides. The society was only nursing up to last even- ing. It was brought into existence but a few short weeks ago by Miss Anthony at a small tea-party kind ‘of a meeting in the Revolution office. It has grown quicker than the fabled mush- room, and from a society of ten it has multiplied to 100; it will certainly go on increasing in the same ratio, But short as its existence has been, its trials have been great and many; but the worst form of assault it has endured came from a sister organiza- tlon—came covertly, too, in the disguise of friend- Ship, but aimed to pierce and slay and ospecially to annihilate Susan B. Last evening 100 ladies came together at No. 8 East Broadway to form a permanent organization and elect oflicers of what has hitherto been called the Workingwomen’s Association, but which was merely a society in embryo embracing a portion of two female Typographical Unions and a floating list of members who hardly knew what they be- longed to, It would not only be ungallant but vindictive to criticise too closely either the personnel or the pro- ceedings of this meeting. Most of those present were poor, hard working girls, from out the midst of whom it might be extravagant to say you could pick an appropriate face and figure to chant Tom Hood's plaintive melody of the “Shirt;*? but you could cer- tainly discover traces of late and early toli, stinted wazes and unwholesome air in the pale and subdued faces of some. There were many elderly and ele- gantly dressed ladies with gold mounted glasses, and there were several raddy cheeked, bright eyed, young and brave hearted girls besides in the make- up of the audience. Miss ANTHONY called the meeting to order. Miss Lizzik BROWNE acted as secretary, and lent interest to the oflice from the beautiful contrast her biack velvet mantle presented buttoned up close about her alabaster neck. Six or seven members were enrolled, and then Miss Anthony announced the time arrived for completing the permanent or- ganization of the society, and cailed on the chair- woinan (What an unhappy term !) of the committee to come forward and report upon the constitution, officers, &c. Mrs. Mary Davis, a natty little lady with a natty collar and pair of cuffs, and a long fine gold chain dependent from her neck, came forward, and with much ease of manner read the report and consti- tation, Miss ANTHONY asked for the adoption of what was read, and said debate was out of order until that was done, It was done accordingly. Mrs. SHEPPARD said she had an amendment to offer to the constitution, but after it was read a gen- tieman in the rear of the hall said the proper name would be substitute, It was called substitute and adopted at once in lace of the original constitution, It goes as fol- lows:— Whereas, the customs of society are based on the idea of Is absolute dependence in the home sphere, while the Facts of life show that the majority of women are compelled to support themselves, and in many cases their families too, by remunerative labor iu the outer world; and whereas, as the result of this false premise, women are shut out of honora- ble and profitable employments, and on the assumption that thetr warks are neither many nor imperat.ve and are supplied by fathers, husbands, brothers and sons, they are paid in the eallings they do adopt but half the py leas, tor equal labor with men, performed with equal ski ved, That there is a necessity for uprooting these time-honored fallacies and educating women into the dignity of self-dependence and self-protection, that with their own cat hands they may open to thematives new en of ..necure ® fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and co-operation usher in a new era of prosperity for the aggiing multitudes that now crowd the few avenues open to them. The adoption of the constitution was next pro- ceeded with. The first article being the christening of the society, received serious, varied and celal rate consideration. A great maby names were pi posed, “National Women's Society,” “Central Women’s,” ‘Co-operative Women’s; but it was finally decided to call the tender adventure “The Workingwomen’s National Association.” The next article provided for an unlimited number of vice presidents and minor details, and was adopted; but now came the crisis—the lowering of tne storm that seemed ab ut to burst in such fury as to leave no trace of the society or Susan B. Anthony behind. Mra. Mary Davis was named by the committee that framed the constitution, &c., for President. She begged to deciine, and desired the postponement of the adoption of the report w next meeting. Mrs. McDonaLp objected & postponement and wanted ho unnecessary delays peterbed prog Now the secret of the matter appe: that the So- tosis Society, which is opposed entirely to woman sul- frage, saw that this move:nent was about to become ® great one in the near fuare, and some haif a dozen Sorosians, beiug members of the Working- women’s Associatiot jetermined to get the control into their own hands, throw tie great suffrage shouter, Miss Susan B. Anthony, overboard and run the female machine themselves. The Sorosians could be easily rec zi ized among the other members or the organization by the duished style of ther ad- dress the general distingyé air they exhibited. But they met terrible opponents of their scheme in @ few nimble-tongued female typos at one particular side of the room, where the talking working girls most did congroy! Miss VIRGINIA PeNNy (a Sorosian) sata she was on the committee that drew up the constitution, and she thought it a great want of courtesy on the pari of certain ladies to criticise that action. Mrs. SUEPPARD (a Sorosian) Was making @ remark across to Miss Penny, when Mrs. MCDONALD (anti-Sorosian) exclaimed, ‘This way, Madame; address the cuair, if you piease.” rs, SkePARD—Miss Anthony, | want to— Miss ANrHONY—Say “President,” if you please; not “Mire Anthoay.”’ Mrs, MCDoNALD—If these ladies had dabbled in politics as you aud I have, Misa Anthony, they'd Know how to address the chair, Miss ELEANOR Kutx (auti-Sorosian), with one end of a Rob Roy saw! thrown defiantly across her bosom, looking very like Helen McGregor in her tragic réie, asked if ladies who were not working- woien, should dictate their constitution and offices Eleanor threw a withering glance over in the dire tion of the elegant ladies with the glasses, and things began to look decided iy bellicose. Miss Anthony, in the meantime, seemed to reliah the fun, for she is naturally given that way. Dr. Hal- leck craved permission to say that though he was no workingwoman he took @ great interest in the mo a and he trusted harmony would be pre- served. Miss Gusasiz Lewis (anti-Sorostan) objected to the report because it left the name of Miss Susan B. Anthony out and nomipated her for no ofice. She thought Miss Anthony the bulwark of women’s rights, the head and front, the stronghold and breastworks of the movement (Loud applause.) She therefore nominated for Prestdeyt Miss Susan B. (Still londer applause). Gussie then went in to rake the fine ladies of the Sorosis club, whoth shd was very happy (sarcas‘icaily) to see. Their pre- sence, she believed (sarcastically again) would lave & refining and elevating induence on the associa- ion. It is needless to say Susan was elected by an over- whelming jority. The vice presidents were all Sorosians on the list furnisied by the committee. Here was another fruitful source of dissension, but the anti-Sorosians settled the point quickly by noml- nating as many more of their own side and showing such a fierce front to the other party that the ladies originally put on the list withdrew their names al- most tn trepidation. Miss Eleanor Kirk (Helen McGregor) and Miss Gussie Lewis carried things by storm with a perfect democratic rush—eiected a3 Secretary Mrs. Celia Burleig! jing Secretary, Miss Elizabeth rowne; Treasurer, Miss Ficid. h, ‘Mrs. Anna Tobitt, Mra.

Yesterday morning the early clerks of the pawn- broking establishment of Messrs. Wilson, Greene & Co., successors to the well known firm of Messra. R. Simpson & Co., situated on the corner of the Bowery and Delancey street, discovered that the stock in various parts of the store was in a remarkable state of confusion, and after their momentary alarm had ceased they examined the large iron safe set in the wall and found that burglars had attempted to open it for the purpose of abstracting the valuable contents within. Without making any further examinations word was immediately sent to the gentlemen composing the firm, when, upon their arrival, aided subsequently by vetective Tieman, of the Central ofice, it was found that the establish- ment had been entered by bufgiara and a daring peeve made to rob them of the most valuable por- lon of their large stock of miscellaneous articl and of the diamonds, watches and jewelry 1n the: ping ‘The examination by the detective reveiled the fact that the thieves had secreted themselves during the day in the upper part of the building, which is five stories in height, and occupied as a lodging house, 1t 1g thought in the water closets, and when the outer doors leading to the lodging rooms were closed they Wandered without molestation to the fist floor, which they designed to “work,” and at once com- menced operations on the safe. ‘Phe tools which they worked with were crude, but effective, bemg a chisel some fifteen fifWhes in length, covered at the top with several thicknesses of carpet to deaden the sound when struck with a sledge ham- mer, both of which instruments were found, The iron bar across the lock was workel upon, it is thought, for some time, as it was bent an twisted to such an extent that it necessitates removal, uf, fortunately for tie firm, it resisied all cic rovbera’ endeavors to dislodge it from its positiun, ‘The n made by these blows was distinetly heard by parues residing in the adjoining houses, but they were of such a muiled character’ that they were imagined to be some of their neighbors splitting wood. Foiled in their attempt to grasp tha golden treasure within, and the hours of night being neariy passed, the burglars turned their attention to the stock, and upon a hurried examination selected from among the many pistols and finer clotuing pledged property to the amount of about $500, when they made arrange- ments to depart, and this to even these venturesome scoundrels was a matter of difticulty ‘The channel by which they succeeded in effecting an entrance Waa closed, they could not bolt out into the Bowery or Delancey street with the stolen property, although it occupied but little space, aud thus their inventive genius was called into requisition, and soon it supplicd a means of escape, and, although bold, it served their ends admirably, They repaired to the rear portion of the store and took from tie hvistway leading Irom tae iiret floor to the roof the large rope attached to it, and, carrying it up stairs, fastened it in such a man- ner that they lowered themselves safeiy duwn, with all their stolen goods, to the roof of an adjoining building on Delancey street, when they used it again to descend upon the roof of a second house, when by the same means they reached the yard of the latter bufiding, leaving tile rope as an eVidence of their ingenuity and boldness, and then making their way through the lower hallway emerged into the street, undoubtedly as innocent lookiug as two accomplished burglars Could well appear under such circumstances, ‘The property stolen will probably never be recov- ered, a5 Messrs. Wilson, Greene & Co, cannot swear to its recognition, Oniy those who pledged it with them can, and it is well known that in nine cases out of ten, when money is obtained al a pawnbroker’s establishment upon such articles, those pawning them do not give their right address and therefore cannot be found. Yeo itis to he hoped that in thelr future manipulations with other people’s property the scoundrels that Shen ied this daring burglury may be caught and brought home to them. ‘Ine firm of Messrs. Wilson, Greene & Co. are willing,to obtain the thieves and re- cover the property and ut the same time save them- selves the annoyance which its loss nucessarily entaiis, to pay double its value, but it is feared their case is hopeless, although the detectives will not let the inatter rest while there is the faintest hope of success.

THE BUTCHERS’ HIDE AND MELTING ASS9Ci TION. The extensive building recently erected by the Butchers’ Hide and Melting Association at the foot of East Forty-fourth street was formaliy opened yesterday in presence of a large number of invited guests, After inspecting the building and the ad- mirable arrangements made by the association for the slaughtering of cattle and preparation of hides and tallow, the visitors assisted the jolly butchers in doing justice to tue sumptuous cold collation which had been prepared for the occasion. Mr. samuel T, Patterson, who had been called upon to preside over the festive meeting, gave a brief but graphic history of the as- sociation, and introduced Mr. Peter Cooper, Who expressed himself highly délighted with the arrangement of the new building, and said the asao- ciation richly deserved the success which had at- tended their enterprise. Mr. G. B. Lincoln, presi- dent of the Roard of Health, said that he had made a thorough and careful inspection of the new butiding and was convinced that “It was superior in all re- spects to any establishment of the kind in this coun- try or abroad.
