Ww GASOLINE MURDER. Another Patent Oil Explosion, and the Last Slaughter by Means of Safety Gos. A Mechanic Mending an Empty Gasoline Cylinder is Cut in Two and Instantly Killed—Full Particulars—Statements of Parties In- terested—The Coroner’s Inquest. Yesterday morning at about seven o'clock an ex- plosion occurred at the machine shop of Thomas Kerr, at the southeast oorner of Fifty-fifth street and First avenue, the noise and shock of which startled the people for blocks around, Many per- sons rushed in the direction ef the noise ana several ‘officers hurried to the scene. On reaching the shop it was found that ® gasoline boiler had been ex- ploded, and the fragments of a human body, fear- fully mutilated, were alao discovered. THE MACHINE OF DEATH was an iron boller, as it 1s called, perhaps a quarter ofan inch in thickness, and three feet five inches in Yength*by three feet in diameter. It was blown in two—one head being blewn off about six inches from onegend. It was painted on the ontside a reddish color. The iracture presents a rongh surface, but uniformly 80, and near the bursted end are two holes bored throngh the plate, each being about one inch in diameter. About fifteen feet from where the boller lay was THB TRUNK OF A HUMAN BODY, stained with @irt and resting in a pool of blood and excrement, while the intestines lay protrading from ‘the body upon the ground. The head remained in- tact, with the exception of a deep gash, extending across the cheek and chin, and wag that of a tine- looking man of about twenty-eight years of age, ‘with leng, dark-brown hair, side whiskers and eyes of light blae, Abont thirty-five feet from the boiler, in a cavity in the earth beneath a fywhkeelof the machinery, were the legs, with a part of the spine hanging to them, covered with clots of blood and bearing parts of the intestimes. The sole of ene of the shoes was blown off. This man, the fragments of whom lay thus scat- tered about, was named Frederick Meyer, and his residence ia unknown. At the time of the explosion he was ¢1 d in thmming the boiler for the purpese of soldering on two brass stopcocks, THE FRAGMENTS OF THE BODY WERE COLLECTED and carried to the Nineteenth precinct station house, where Coroner Schirmer begam an inquest upon tem, which at @ late hour in the aiternoon was ae ned to enable Professor Chandier to inspect the boiler, The remains were then removed by Mr. Merrit, an undertaker, to his premises in K.ghth avenue. ‘on DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. ‘The building was constderably shattered, causin $ perhaps a damage of from two to four hundre @ollars. The pieces of machinery were thrown in every direction, giass was broken and the walls cracked, THE FIRST ARREST. ‘Thomas Mctiinais, the mau who sent the cylinder or boiler to Kerr’s shop, was arrested and held to await the examination by Coroner Schirmer. THE SECOND ARREST. J. D. Averill resides at 164 East Fifty-third street, and ts in the employ of the New Yerk Gas Metre Company, No. 2 Dey street, as superintendent, He ‘was arrested on a charge of homicide, *+1n not in- forming French Mayor of the dangerous nature of sg gasoline boiler.” He was neld by Coroner Scher- mer 1p defauit of $5,000 bail. THE INQUEST. John D. Averill being sworn, says:—I reside at No, 164 East Fifty-third street; am a gas fitter by oc- cupation; about two weeks ago a botler made of iron ‘was sent to me frem the gas works at New Rochelle on trial; { being in want of one for the purpose of storing gasoline; I did not examine the boiler on re- celving it but allowed it to remain in alot of No. 198 East Fifty-third street; on Tuesday last I exammed 4% and found two wooden piugs and an iron one inside; | took one of the wooden plugs and left the rest inside; I examined it to see what the voller had been used for; I TAPPED 3? OVER, Dut nothing came out of it, The iron ping was in condition. No sediment was in the boiler. 'y the advice of Mr. Richards I sent the boiier to Mr. McGinnis in Fifth street, near Second avenue, to bave two brass cocks put into the boiler. Mr. Mc- Ginnis told me he was busy and did not have the taps, so I went to Mr. Thomas Kerr, machinist, at ‘the corner of First avenue and Fifty-fifth street. MR. KERR'S FOREMAN said they would put the cocks im. I told him the tank had come from the gas works and I wanted the cocks fixed to hold GASOLINE. 1 was coming up at two o'clock to-day to get the tank, at which time 1t was to be ready; at twelve o’clock I heard it bad exploded; I considered the BOILER A SAFF ONE as regards thickness and cocks, one below to draw off water and sediment and the other above for light material; 1 was not informed what the poiler had been used for; | understood that it was made by Mr. Potter, of Jersey City, about two years ago; I am employed by tite New York Gas Saving Metre Company, of No. 2 Dey street; 1 teld Mr. Kerr that it was @ gasoline tank. Thomas McGuinness being sworn, says:—I reside ‘@t 334 East Fifty-fiftn street; 1 am in the foundry business in Fifty-fourth street; in the fore part of the week Mr. Averill asked me to put the taps in the boiler, but { was busy and advised him to take it to Mr. Kerr. A BOILER MAKER'S OPINION. I have examined the voiler since and consider the break to be a new one, and the part that gave way was sound Iron with no flaw in it. Mr. Kerr was next examined. In his evidgnce he said:—Mr. Averill did not tell me thatit wag a gaso- ine boiler, but thatit was to be used for that pur- pose; the cocks were to be secured in and then foldlered with tin, 80 as to make it tight; the tank he brought was 4 common sheet-iron one; this morning 1 began to tin two cocks for the purpose of soldering them after being secured tn, the holes having been drilled the day previous; in proceeding with the work I found it necessary to HEAT THE TANK a little to tin it; I heated a plece of tron in the forge and told the deceased, who was In my employ as en- gineer, to carry out the hot plece of tron and lay it on the holes of tne tank; he took the iron, which pao red hot, and as soon as he touched the tank with 1 AN EXPLOSION took place, destroying tne building and killing Mr. Meyer, whom i found terribly mangled inside the shop; the head and shoulders were ten feet from the boiler, and the lower extremities about forty feet distant; the explosion occurred within eight or nine fect of me; if i had been told that the boiler had been used for gasoline I would net have it within a bundred feet oi my shop. William Murdock, o! First avenne,near Fifty-sixth street, the foreman of Kerr's shop, was next amined. He also said that if he had known that the bouer had contained gasoline he would not have allowed it to come into the snop. Charles W. Kruger, one of Mr. Kerr’s apprentices, living at i64 East Fifty-sixth street, was present at the time of tne explosion, His story developed nothing new. THE HISTORY OP THE BOILER. William A. Covel, of No. 175 Amity street, Brook- lyn, testified—I ama gas engineer; the boiler was made eighteeu months ago in Jer sey City by Berther & Co,, gas-meter makers; J saw the botler there, and i considered its construction first class; | was asked for my opinion; I think it was made of three-eighth inch wrought iron, with riveted jeints; | was asked if the boiler was good by the representative of the New Rochelle Gas Company; it was used by them for passing gas through; Lsaw it at New Rochelle about a year ago, and it then contained gasoline; the boiler has not been used for a year. The Commissioners yesterday tried about fifty offending policemen for various offences. Three Were stripped of their shields in open court and dismissed the force. ‘Terrence @/Brien, of the Twenty-first precinct, was the first one decapitated. At appeared that he left his post to buy a bottle of mn for a man who did not wish to enter the saloon. rasseil, of the Sixth precinct, who has been on the force four months, and was convicted of being so rossly drunk-an hour after going out on post that it required four policemen to earry him in, waa tne second victim. The third, McCu'cheon, of the Fourteenth, was charged with stealing a pair of gloves from 4 Miteenth amendment named tut. Hoff swore that while passing through Grand street -McCnteneon met him, said, ‘These gloves are too good jor a ‘nigger,'’? took them and gave him his old ones in leu thereof, Captain Walsh made him- self basy in securing the oilicer’s disgrace. Mc- Cutcheow’s defence was that he wok the gloves merely a5 a a lark and intended to return them. The Board, however did not believe him, and sent bim out of the room shiedilegs. ~~ RAILLERY DN SUNDAY, Judge Teese, of Newark, on Sunday Horse Carne In the case of the State of Kew Jersey va. Rush Moore, involving the right of tne Newark, Bloom- Held and Montclair horse cars to ran on Sunday, arguments were heard recently before Judge Fred- erick H, Teese, of the Essex Common Pleas. His Honor reversed the decision of the Justices’ Court and oraered penalties and costs returned to defendant, The Judge said he would at seme future day reduce his opinion on the general ques- tion to writing if counsel so desired, As a general thing he agreed with Judge Reed, of aylvania, that the running of the cars on Sun became 3 necessity {rom the altered condition of our circum. stances; and thas the stage law of 1846 would hardiy apply to Sunday horse cars, which were not then in x ce, and therefore could not have beon cote Run when the law for suppressing vice #nd uamerality Waa Dae! by the Legislature NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1 WOMAN'S RIGHTS. Woman’s Suffrage the Panacen of Mer Wrenge—No More Money for Chnasepots and Needle Guas-A Hint for Wendell Phillips—Adam and Eve—The Fallen Wo- men Who Walk Our Streets. A goodly number of ladies, representing what the il-natured world call the strong-minded portion of the fair sex, assembled yesterday afternoon at the room of the New York Woman’s Suffrage Assocta- tion to give vent to the grievances that lay upper. most on their minds and to clamor fer woman’s “rights” and the redress Of woman's wrongs. Asa matter of course the-shafts of their tre were di- rected against man—that monster of iniquity—an@ his wicked and selfish course was exposed in the forcible speeches delivered by several of the 1adies. Nor did Wendell Pnillips, the apostle of woman’s rights, escape unscathed; for HIS LACK OF ENERGY in the defence of woman’s cause was severely com- mented upon by one of the lady speakers. If Bill Shakespeare Nad been present at this rare mecting he would have been inclined to repeat the remark put into the mouth of Benedict:— IL wiab my horse had the speed of your tongue and 80 good contriver. It ta, however, fair to state that even that har- dened ease ef the masculine gender found champions among the fair dames present, who took it upon themselves to SHIKLD 18 BATTERED REPUTATION from the furious assaults made upen it. The meet- ing was called to order by Mra, Charlotte B, Wil- bour, vice president of the association. The secre- tary, Mra. Abbey Crosby, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were approved. At the suggestion of Dr. erick K. Marvin, chairman of the Com- mittee of Arrangements, Mra. Dr. Haiiock took the floor and adaressed the meeting as follows:— Comparing herself te AN OVERCHARGED ELECTRIC BATTERY, she said—l came across an article in one of the pads York jeurnais, entitied “Peace Pipers,” sta that it was natural for nations when they get prosperous to pick quarrels with other nations, 1m order to let off the surplus steam, Shewing Uus to my better half, or, rather, MY OTHER HALF, (Vowces—“Equally good’) I could scarcely ex- press my tndlgnatign, Ifthe thrifty housewives who add to the prosperity of nations had a voice in the rmen would net spend their surplus manes for needle guns and Onassepots. It has been sal that a woman should not vote beeause she can't fight, Now this isthe very reason why she is more entitled vo it than man. Jn alluding te the present war in Europe she said:—Newspapers repurt the big patties and the doings of Napoleon and Bazaine, but they do not Mention the rapes and outrages committed on wo- men, which are THE TRIMMINGS OF WAR. In the ceurse of her remarks about the soctal evil she gave vent to the following strong expressionus:— ‘Women’s poverty consents to many things, I wish the streets were lined with the dead bodies of these fallen women that man shguid open his eyes to the social evil and see the enormity of his offence. I have no objection to man wf he will not go out of his sphere, I want man to be more manly and woman more womanly. I do not mean to talk Wwoman’s rights. I have a new platform, which is— woman’s duties. If woman wouid do her duty she wouid nave her rights. In alluding to the laws that have been passed at St. Louts te abate the socal evil she ‘Women should not allow men to take this subject into their hands. When @ map taiks about STEMMING THE SOCIAL EVIL. I turn my back on him; he has no business to touch this subject. Women shonid not permit men even to open thelr lips about the d lation of their fallen sisters. I hope seme political party ‘will unite a one platform, and that is woman’ suffrage. If Mr. Wendell Philips wiil waste his time upon other question, and not take hoid of this all-important one he may retire into private life. ‘The live question of the day 1s woman. I do not wish to attack men. I only want to say that WOMEN WHO SIN AGAINST MORAL LAWS ‘are no worse than men who de the same, though the degradation of the former may seem much ter. Women have a loftier standard of morality, because there is something. of tne Divine Spirit engrafted 1n their nature. God gave Eve to Adam because Adam could not get into heaven without the spiritualistic aid of women. A bad woman is a fatien angel. She may be worse than @ bad man, because she talis from a greater height. The Boos concluded her harangue by apologizing for the impassionuat® manner of her remarks, saying that she was born under a Southern sky and her feelings on this subject were ‘too many for her.” Mrs. SEACORE then vented her feelings by a brief discourse upon the same subject, after which Mrs. SomeERsy, M. D., spoke about the measures needed to aid the PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG WOMEN, She said:—The women of this city have grown in- dolent; many would rather be idie and have their expenses patd by licentious men than work for a living. She objected to Mrs. Hallock’s remarks be- cause she thought they were somewhat one sided, and she did not like RUNNING MEN DOWN. Mrs. Dr. MARTIN then arose and sald that the in- strument of suffrage is needed to remove women’s wrongs. At the suggestion of Mrs. Dr. Somerby the fol- lowing members were appointed to aitend as deie- gates the peace meeting, which will take place on the 234 instant;—Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Hallock, Mrs, Urosby, Mrs. Poole, Dr. Holland, Dr. ‘s. Somerby, Mrs. Wilbeur. After which Mrs, Devereux Blake made a very clever speech about the indvlence of the women of the day. At this stage of the preceedings Dr. HALLOCK, @ be- nevolent old man, took the chair and delivered a brief discourse. The meeting then adjourned, TANNHAUSER. The Operatic Kicking Scrape—The Other Side of the Lichtmay-Krause-“Louag- Toed- Shoes” Difficalty. ‘To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: — ‘The statements in yesterday’s HERALD concerning an alleged disgraceful kicking scene said to have occurred between two prominent prime donne of the German Stadt theatre, during a recent perform- ance oi the opera of ‘“Tannhauser” on that stage, are so one-sided tnat it may be proper to give the public in the following the other side of the story. People interested in the matter will find an impartial statement of the whole occurrence published in the (German) New Yorker Denokrat of yesterday. While it is true that there have been quarrels bi tween Mme. Liahtmay and Miss Krause since their arrival from Germany in this city, the first named lady never disgraced herself and the stage so much as teshow her animosity towards her young and fair opponent by kicking the same vigorously with her ‘dong toed shoes,’? which she wore on that occa- so that the poor victim of this open breach of peace Was ever slice confined to her bed. It can ved by thousands of jatworthy people and zeus that the whole of this siameful eid by Miss Krause, and launched into publicity by a 80-called General and ardent adorer of the alleged poor victim of the prima donna “kicking thania,” 1s alto- gether nothing but a maliciously invented piece of blackguardism, The four pages, one of which was Miss Krause’a, had in their parts of the grand piece no “stanzas” at all, as alleged im yesterday’s papers, and Miss Krause withdrew from the stage after she had delivered a certain missive to the “Landgrafin” (Mme. Lichtmay) as sound and lively as a fish goin; to swim in the water. Miss Krause has attended since that time severa! balls, which is proof enough of her net having reccived any Injury whatev IMPARTIAL OBSERVER. FEMMES DIVDUSTRIE. Captare of Two Gorgeously Arrayed “Lady” Shoplifters in Newark. Yesterday information was received at the New- ark police headquarters that a robbery had been perpetrated in the dry goods store of Hamilton & Company, on Broad street, corner of Bank. A valuable Paisley shawl had disappeared simultane- ously with a couple of elegantly dressed ladies who had been looking at goods in the store. Detective Haggerty was at once despatched to inquireanto the matte! Passing down Centre street, near the depot, he observed a couple of females, gotten up in the matter of toilets most elaborately, DROP INTO A LAGER BEER SALOON, Considering that this was @ decidedly unladyhke procedure—one that did not at all accord with their appearance and fine clothes—the detectives put after them; he smelied a huge sized mouse, to use an ex- pressive slangism. ‘I want you gals to take a waik with me,” safa Bob. “We want you to take a drink with us,’’ was the response. “Phe three then proceeded to the station house, where the “jadies"’ gave their names as Ann Waters, spinster, twenty years of age, of No. 96 Twenty-eighth street, New York city, and Mary A. Hogan, of Sixth avenue. One was dressed jn a black silk flounced dress, diamond jewelry and a WEALTH OF SPLENDID DARK BROWN HAIR. ‘This was Ann Waters. Mary wore a pretty piaid dress and was otherwise adorned &@ la’ mode, Neither is absolutely handsome, but both are quite prepossesing, Ann being the best looking of tne two. She is plump and fair-skinned. On svarching Mary a large pocket was discovered , in which was @ piece of handsome black thread lace worth seventy-five dollars, Hamilton's shawl, worth tifty dollars, and some other articles. An route to the station one of them dropped A FINE FUR COLLAR, ‘The shawl ana lace have been identified, and there his every reason to believe that the pair are oid hands in the shopiifting business. They seem to know every officer in New York. Last night they modestly requested the Police Clerk, George Gray, tw purchase fer them a bottie of Heidsick, a buadle of cigarettes and ether such like dainties. It is likety they now very much regret having crossed over to ungophisticated Jersey. Arrest of the Minister of the Provisional Government of Cuba. {Sener Ruez Indicted for Violation of the Neu: trality Lawa—Hoe Surrenders Himself to the Federal Authorities—Ho is Held in ~ J $10,000 Bail—His Exposi- tion of the Case. A few aays ago the United States Gran’. Jury found indictments against General Thomaa‘Jordan, an active sympathizer with the Cuban of use, and Sefor Ruez, the Cuban Ambassador at Wasbing- ton, On Tuesday last General Jordan w as arrested and held in $10,000 bail. Although the federal authorities maintained the strictest secrecy as to the names of the other parties indtoted,, rumors spread far and wide that Seflor Ruez way the most proml- nent among them and the man next mcst likely to be caged. These rumors reached the ears of the Svior, who, being then in Washington, afer consultation with his lawyer, resolved ty set out for this city. Ou his arrival he put himself at once in communication with the authorities Were, and ascertained from them—a matter in which he was in doubt—that he was the man of whom they were in quest. On ap- pearing before Commissioner Shields yesterday morning, and giving his name, the Commissioner affirmed the charge which had reached the Sefior’s ears, and demanded bail in the sum of $10,000, Bondsmen for the sum were on hand in the persons of Messrs. Gross and Pond, friends of the accused, and the Commissioner fixed the last Monday in February as the ay for the examination. During an mterview with the representative of the HERALD Sefior Ruez admitted that his sympathy was warmly enlisted with his struggling country- men, and that he had endeavored to procure the morai support of the United States; but denied all guilt of the charge preferred against him in the indictment—of a violation of the neutrality law. He said it was alleged against him that he and General Jordan were the projectors of an expedition de- signed to sail for Cabs on the 22d of last October; but go far from that being true he was not in New York at the time the organization of this expedition was said to have been made, neither was he ace quainted with General Jordan beyond knowing him by sight, The Senor characterized the whole charge a3 malicious and undless, and complained bit- terly of the United States law, which permitted the federal authorities to arrest and imprison a citizen, ut aifording him a chance of redress, if his lnberty should be wrongfully and unwarrantably taken from bim. ‘ Sefor Ruez fey while he is willing to suffer at the hands of his Spanish foes all the punishment and torture decreed to men who struggle for liberty, he feels the iron more particularly enter inte his soul when the rivet which strikes home comes from Americans, whom he and ail struggling national. ists look to for sappert im their dreams of liberty. A itbre Cuba, he says, 13 but the question of an hoar, or of a day, and why the American govern- ment, through thei! Pecos, and officials, shoula go out of thelr way to throttle the fresh breathing of Cubans determined to be free is beyond his com- prehension, This was not the way the struggling colonists attained their way to independence. THE LECTURE SEA30N. THE HUMOA OF SYDNEY SMITH. Lecture by Mr. William Anderson Before the Young Men’s Christian Association. Last evening @ very mteresting lecture was de- livered om the above subject by Mr. William Ander- son, before the Young Men’s Christian Association, at the western branch, Hudson street. There was a large attendance, and the wit, eloquence and well- pointed ooservations which throughout marked the discourse were thoroughly appreciated. The Presi- dent of the association introduced the lecturer, who commenced by giving a biographical sketch of Sydney Smith. and said thatit was not his intention to present him on that occasion as the popular Lon- don preacher, the brilliant essayist or the eloquent advocate of soctal reform, but to introduce him as the genial humorist and man oi society, After quoting Smith’s ideas of the effect of wit and humor upon character and disposition, Mr. Anderson remarked that those who had familiarized themselves with the writings of the “WITTIEST ENGLISHMAN OF THE CENTURY” could not fail to notice the important part which the admentive facuity played in influencing his mental powers, While he did not affirm that the witty par- son was a glutton, he presented @ number of apt quotations to establish the assertion that some of Smith’s most humorous sayings were tinged with his predominant love of the pleasures ef the table; for in an hour of fancy Syaney declared that his idea of heaven was eating fole gras to the sound of trumpets. Among the notable passages from Smith’s voluminous writings that were quoted in the first part of the lecture wos the advice he gave to Mrs. Meynell to take more care of her choice geraniums and not let the pigs in upon them; for although iERANIUM-FED BACON was of a beautiful color, tt took too many plants to fatten one pig; his definition of real piety and at. tachment to the Church, which was sending straw- verries to a clergyman, and his genial note to a grandchild for mailing him a letter over weight, wherein he threatens to pull all the pluins out of her puddings ana to undress her dolls and steal their under petticoats. The lecturer then invited his au- dience to accompany Sidney Smith to the dinner tables of the don don of the British metropolis, and to listen to some of the words of wit and wisdom which fell from the lips of the great humorist. For over an hour Mr. Anderson recited choice selections of the humor of Smith, which the student of his works 1s conversant with, insuch an animaved strain as showed his hearty appreciation of the brilliant wit that sparkled in every sentence. We note, particu- Jarly, the scene that took place at @ dinner part; where Sir James Mackintosh and Sydney Smit succeeded In making a raw Scotch ensign believe that the latter was tue great “Sur Sudney,” and the occasion where Sydney Sinith bursts into uproarious laughter upon learning that a young Scotchman was going to marry AN IRISH WIDOW OF HUGE DIMENSIONS, “Gotng to marry her?” he exclaimed. **You mean @ part of her; he could not marry ner all himself. It would be a case, not of bigamy, but trigamy, There is enough of her to furmsh wives for the whole parish. One man marry her? It is men- strous! You might people a colony with her; or give an assembly with her; or, perhaps, take your morning Wwaik round her, always provided there were frequent resting places, and you were in good heaith. Ionce was rash enough to try walk- ing round her before breakfast, but only got half way and gave it up exhausied, Or you might read the riot act and disperse her; in short, you might do anything with her but marry ner,” the lecturer then, by way of practical improve- ment, quoted Smith's irathful remark that diges- tion was the great secret of life, and that charac- ter, talents and virtues were powertully affected by PIE CRUST AND RICH SOUPS. A number of Sydney’s idiosyncracies were enu- merated, and Mr. Anderson concluded his enter- taming paper by asking his hearers to peep over Smith's shoulder for a few moments while he com- muned, pen in hand, with Jeffrey and other intimate correspondents, and to embody in their lives this bit of Smith's philosophy:—“If it be my lot to crawl 1 wiit crawl contentediy; if to fly, I will fly with alacrity; but as long as I can possibly avoid it I will never be unhappy. If, with a pleasant wile, three children, a good house and farm, many books and @ host of true friends. Icannot be happy 1am a very Sitly, foolish lellow.” ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN. Joby H. Surratt at the Cooper Institute. An audience numbering some 200 people aasem- bled jast evening at the Cooper Institute to hear John H. Surratt lecture on his trial for and subse- quent acquittal of the assassination of Premdent Lincoln, So stall a number gathered together in so large a hall reminded us of Captain Mayne Reid’s oft re- peated deccriptions of an oasis ina prairie. Whether they were the wonted “deadheads” that appertain to newly started lecturers whoembrace their calling from ‘pecuniary motives solely’? rather than from possessing any fituess for their business, it is diml- cult to say; but, with some few exceptions, they (the audience) were undoubtedly enthusiastic ad. — of John IL. Surratt or John H. Surratt’s lec- are. As Mr. Surratt’s lecture, as delivered by him at Rockville, Maryiand, has been already given at iength im these columns, it need not here be re- peated. Suffice it to say that it was dull, stupid and uninteresting to a degree. Jt reminded one more of a schoolboy repeating his lesson, rather imperfectly committed to mem- ory, than will, periaps, evem the irrepreastbie George Francis Train, Ot iuterruptions there were not afew, The lectarer becoming very severe on Mr. Louis J. Weichman, @ bald-keaded gentleman rose from his seat and, in a very excited Inanner and with « very gruff voice, prefessed himself entirely anxious to know who the sald Louis J, Weichman was, where he resided, &c. Of course the impatient audience called him to order, aud called ou Mr. Surratt to proceed. “Go on! Go ou!’ was the cry from the two hun- dred and fifty ‘deadheads,” and go on Mr, Surratt did, antl he arrived at the last page and line of the x “ ogtiung' that was tot gate they falled to, eet they managed to rehev 4 somewhat the monotony of the lecture, or expla” ation, or whatever Mr, Surratt hecses to call thls | gash of his, = on what is to all & ec Amalior/ Addition to the New Club. ‘Tne schooner yacht Sun*hine was launched Batweday, November 12, from the yard of her builders, Hiliman, Streeker & Byerby, at Kensing- ton.

For some time past the Custom House authorities have been aware of the fact that large quantities of silks and Lyons velvets were being smuggled across he channel from France to Ireland, mainly te Bel- fast and the Northern ports. The goods were there safely stored upti emigrants could be found by whom to send the cloth to New York. The mode ef operation was as follows:—A large trunk manu- facturer, whose name 1s said to be Dewns, fur- nished boxes for emigrants at reduced prices, ‘These bexes, or chests, were of the most substantial manufacture, and contained PALSE BOTTOMS, Between the false and real bottoms the silks and velveta were hidden and etl a into New York, The emigrants were recommended to go to certain boarding houses on West street, and when they ar- rived there with their boxes it was a simple matter to remove the smuggled goods and replace the false bottoms, The goods were then remeved to two wholesale houses on Broadway, who were thus en- abled to sell FINE SILKS AND VELVETS AT A LOW FIGURE, much under the market prices. 3o common this mode of evading the cnstom authorities be- come that it is probable that hardly a vessel left the northern parts of Ireland without some of the t geniously constructed chests aboard. Jt is estl- Mmated that the loss to the United States govern- jeurepite nearly $200,000 in gold. Sy. some. means aggregate nearly | in gold, By 801 the secret leaked out and came to the ears of the authorities, who immediately instituted a VIGOROUS EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS’ BOXES on all vessels arriving at Castle Garden. The search ve has been successful. Yesterday morning three of the attaches of the Custom House feund @ chest containil ulks and velvets, Valued at $6,000, at @ boarding house on West street. So neatly had the box been constructed tl It passed the officers at Castle Garden without suspicion ag to 1s contents, Many boxes similar te the one seized have been sent to Baltimore by the smuggiers, and the Custom House authorities in that city have been notified of the fact by the New York officials, ‘The silks and velvets seized im West street have been removed te the Seizure Department.
