10 TAKING — THE VEIL. A Lady of the Ton Renouncing the World. & Brilliant Ceremony at the Seventeenth Street Convent—The Daughter of the Late Judge White Accepts the Profession of a Nun—Details of the Beau- tiful Ritual. ‘One of the mest neautifu) and touching ceremo- e6 Of the Catholic Church was performed yester- ¥ at the convent in Seventeenth street and Fisth avenue, on the oceasion 0! the adoption of the veil’’ by Miss Ellen G. White, a dangnter of the late Judge W. White, of the Superior Court, New York. Miss White, who ,as a nun of the Convent of the Sacred Neart, has passed through the stages designated by ‘me Church as “postulants” and ‘novices, now makes her “profession” or “last vow.”” A LARGE AND BRILLIANT AUDIENCE, chiefly composed of the friends of the young lady, were present under spectai invitation to witness the ceremony, and at nine o’clock the street outside the convent was lined with carriages. Among the visi- lors present were Mrs. Charles O’Conor, Mrs. James: Brooks and daughter, Mrs. Judge Fullerton, Mrs. Owen W. Brennan and daughter, Mrs. Daniel 8. Dickinson and daughter, Mrs, 8. J. Courtney, Miss Mary L, Booth, the historian; Mrs. David Groesbeck and daughter, Mrs. Wm. H. Fogg, Mrs. T. F. Meagher and Mrs. Townsend; Mr. William Fullerton, Dr. Anderson, A. B. Woodraff, of New Jersey; Dr. Chal- mers, Judge Joseph S. Bosworth, William IL Fogg, Frankitn Ketcham and many others. THE CHAPEL AND ALTAR. The visitors assembled in the parlors adjoining the chapel, and at the time appointed they passed in Procession into the chapel. The latter was bri- Mantly lighted up for the occasion, The pure white marvie altar was illuminated by two hundred wax candles and adorned by large marbie vases filed with rare flowers, tasteluily and artistically ar. ranged; a cloth of gold Jace covered the altar, while two gilded paim Lees drooped their branches over ana avout it, PROCESSION AND MUSIC. AS the first part of the procession, composed of Duns, fied mto the chapel and tuok their seats in she prie-dicus on either side; the choir, under the drection of Mr. Berge, of St.Francis Xavier's churen, performea a splendid chant. Aster the nuns had een seated Miss White, accompanicd on one side by the Superior General of Convents im te United States and Canada, and on the other side by the Assistant Superior, entered the convent. Advancing to the aitar they Look their piaces, Kneeliug there for some minutes. Followlug these came a procession Jormed of priests and acolytes bearing incense and lights, aud as they kneit before the altar the choir perlormed tae Alieluia, With a solo by Miss Werneke and chorus by Dr. Berge’s choir and the nuns, THE CEREMONY, which was performed with great solemnity, was opened by prayer and the blessing of the cross and ring with Which Miss Nellie White 1s to be deco- rated. Next followed an appropriate sermon by Pere Beaudevin, the distinguished orator of the Order of Jesuits. Miss White ten repeated the vows as they were read apa explained, as she knelt at the steps of te altar, whither she was at- tended by the Mother Superior. As she knelt here, the picture of loveliness and humility, the Motner Superior advanced and placed upon her finger a costly, but plain gold ring, as a proof and token of her having chosen the Saviour of Mankind for her spouse on this her betrothal day to her Lord, and at the same time encircled ber ueck with a delicately wrought jet chain, supporting a silver cross, which 3s for @ sign and a remembrance to her that she will take up her cross and bear it courageously for His sake, for whom she has quitted the outer werld, and renounced the flesh anu its sinful concomitants, ‘This part of the ceremony being duly concluded Miss White and the Superior returned to the prle- deus, where they again knelt as the omciating pricst blessed them after the rule of the Church. THE LAST RITE OF ACCEPTANCE, Mass, with a full chorus, was then celebrated, afcver which the “professed nun as Miss White wil bencetorward be termed, advanced with a tall = in her right hand and received com- munion. CONGRATULATIONS. After the benediction the visitors returned to the pariors, Where the “professed” received the warm and hearty congratulations of her fmends on her be- coming a nun of the cross and ring. Many were the wishes.that she might go on and become perfected an Christ, and reaiize to the fuliest and highest ex- tent the importance aud sacredness of the vows she had taken. From Uus time she cannot again leave The convent without permission, and then only tem- porariiy. Ap elegant breakfast was provided for her Jriends, alter having partaken of which the company departed, with a renewal of the Kina Wishes ana earnest regard for her weifare, as belore expressed. DESPERATE BURGLABS. # Brace of Daring Thieves—Attemp: to Burn Down the Newark City sO Ne Samuel H. Ward, a young negro, was arrested yes- terday in Newark on a charge ef burglary, in forcmg open the establishment of Mr. Peter Garrigan, the Broad street drug- gist. Last evening, between five and six o'clock, he tried a desperate move to effect his escape, tt 1s believed, by Police Commissioner Anderson.

Very soon after she left him he got out of the bed, and, leaving his outer cleshing in the room, went across the hajl into a bedroom and locked the door, After divesting him- self of all his under garments he got into a bed in this room and partly covered himself up with a blanket.

Mr. Smith has been suftering recently from softening of the brain and his physicians could give him no hope of recovery. The despondency caused by his condition preyed upon his mind, and, no doubt, led to the sad result.

E Bartley Mullen’s Case Disposed Of—Ven Years in the State Prison. The readers of the MPRALD are familiar with the facts of the case of Bartley Mullen, convicted re- cently ef highway robbery in Jersey City at me Court of Sessions. Mullen and his companion, & man named Reynolds, both New Yorkers, were returning to the Heboken ferry from Wuion Hill on the 4th of July last. They had been on a visit to Mi *s brother, and when they caine pear the “Hundred Steps’’ they were attacked by aman named Eppinger, who plunged a knife into Reynolds and kilted him. Struck with remorse Eppinger ran about wildiz, crying out that he had committed a misiake.

WaLLack’s TNRATRE.—Rodertson’s new play, “War,” was produced last night at Wallack’s, The single word of a single syllable which forms its title 1s yet portentously big for the very shght story that runs through and connects the tableaux of its three acts. These tableaux, however, are skilfully ar- ranged and are varied 80 as to present an animated series of pictorial effects. The whole is an effective realistic transcript of actual life—an absolute reflex of the passing time, It evokes through- out the same kind of interest which the reader of the morning journal daily takes in telegraphic despatches dated at or near the seat of the Franco-Prassian war. In fine, it has the interest of actuality, Robertson has a bappy skill %m the introduction and management of dramatic episodes, and he knows how'to place men and Women inspeech and action before the spectator, not mere stage heroes and heroines, The play opens With a group of sprightly bridesmaides who are- comparing treir preseuts to Lottie, the daughter of Kar] Hartnann, anative of Germany. Lottie is about Son of Coleone) de Rochvannes, of the army. The Colonel is ardent, mpetuous imbued with the spirit of martial glory. »irit his son shares with him.

Hart- mann, m the capacity of an ambulance oficial, and Lottie as a Sister of Charity, discover and try to aid them, but the Colonel 1s delirious trom pain and his son 1s nearly at the last gasp. Yet in his extremity he has just strength enougirto entreat Lottie to marry him before he dies, She aecedes to bis request, end the ceremony 18 performed in a partially destroyed chapel close by. eons | and the tones of the organ are heard, and in a few moments atterwards Oscar falls senseless, just as the advance guard of the French attack the Prussian posiuon. The scene closes with a briliiant and animated tableau. The third act takes us back to England, where we find the gy ae deep sorrow for the supposed death of Oscar. Lottie, however, tries to relieve the bitter+ ness of grief by preparing packages of useful articies to be iransimitted to the wounded and by read- ing Tennyson, in the meantime Captain Sound has discovered that Oscar had only lapsed into inseusibility, and that us life had been saved by a German surgeon. The Captain breaks the news to Hartmann in hia blunt, biundering way, and the difficulties they both encounter in gradu- ally communicating the startling news to Lotte and the Colonel give opportunities for strong serio- comic interpretation. At length they are enlight- ened on the subject, and the play ends by making everybody happy again. The cast is remarkably good. Miss Henriques represents the joyous jlanée and the apparently widowed wife witn charming Gelicacy of fecling and with unaffected naturaluess. Miss Helen Tracy sustained fairly and with vivacity the 7 0le of Blanche. The other ladies had but little to do save to look their prettiest, which they did. Jehn’ Gilbert gave a splendid portraiture of Karl Hartmann, the patriotic and humane German mer- chant, an incarnation of parental affection and benevolence. John Brougham, as the bluff English capiain, was trank, Rearty and genial. Chari Fisuer looked and acted to perfection the glory-lov- ing French colonel. George Ciarke played the ee of Uscar with a certain vigor, but wita very ittie Warmth and too much stlifuess, Tne mount- ing of the piece 1s faultless and the scevery is an artisiic trlumph. Srapr THEATRE—“LUCRE7IA Borata.’’—This well worn but ever welcome opera was given last night at this theatre with the following cast:—Lucrezia Borgia, Madame Louise Lichtmay; Orsini, Madame Krebs-Michales!; Gennaro, Theodore Habelmann; Duke, Mr. Vierling. The new feature was the first appearance of the Dresden contralto in the réle of the page. She ought not attempt such parts now that her operatic career fs in its wane. First, she 1s not suited in physique for the dress of a page: in the next place, an ill-arranged mustache and obtrusive imperial communicated a comic, toway the least, expression to her face; and lastly, her voice in the Ortndisi, particularly, evinced such signs of wear that no stage experience or artistic culture could gloss over. Mme. Knebs has had a long ard brilliant career on the operatic stage, but we candidly say that the proper close to that career has come, and that the concert hall or church will for the future be the appropriate field for her labors. The Orstnt we heard in this theatre beiore her, Ciara Perl, is as far superior to her in the artistic rendering of the réle as the Gennaro of Habelinann is to that of Himmer. Tne best réle of Lichtmay 1s undoubtedly that of the guilty Duchess, and in it her fine dramatic style of singing, albeit so defective tn concert, her earnest, impetuous acting and her complete identification with the character make the opera a grand success. Habelmann ts a fine Gennaro, and Vierling a weak Alfonso. The operatic company of this theatre go to Philadelphia next week, and make place for the celebrated and justly popular tragedienne, Marie Seebach, who comes back to New York, crowned with the laurels of a dozen provincial cites. Bowery THEATRE.—‘ Hamiet,” a tragedy not often produced on the east side of town, was given on fast Friday night for the benefit of Mr. E. T. Stetson, who appeared in the leading rove. His se- lectien of the part, judging from bjs rendition of the character, shows that the melancholy Dane has re- ceived irom Mr, Stetson a close study. In make- up, appearance, reading and acting he played Homiet in a manner which, to say the least 1 it, we were unprepared to witness. Devoid of rant, his rendition of the prince ef Denmark was such as to encourage the beltef that, with proper study and close attention, he will yet make his mark | in the theatrical world. The Bowery stage has | given to this country some of the most brilliant stars | the American stage can boast of. This should en- | courage the young actor now noticed to persevere in the profession he has chosen, STRIKE AMONG LABORERS. Riotous Proceedings on the Spuyten end Port Morris Railroad—Some Rivgleaders Arrested. The laborers employed on the Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad, now 1n process of construction, having been notified that on and after the 1st inst. thelr wages would be reduced from $1 §0to $160 per day for nine hours’ work, evinced open dissatis- faction on Monday, which ultimately culminated in a strike on the part of about seventy-five men. Having evidently determined to bring about a cessa- tion of work along the entire road, the disaffected party took the various gangs of men in detail yesterday morning and by persuasion, in- timidation and threats of bodily injury, succeeded in driving the entire force of laborers, numbering some five or six hundred men, from their work. The condition of affairs having been made known in Yonkers a@ posse of pelice officers proceeded at Duyv of th once to the scene of disorder and suc- ceeded in arresting three of the ring- leaders, who were held to answer a charge of inciting ariot. The police were still on the ground at a late hour yesterday afternoon, and hopes were entertaimed that all ot the rioters would be secured. It 1s understood that a majority of the men express a desire to resume werk if assured of protection from their turbulent companions. EAMETS. The Blockade on Barclay Street to Be Re- moved. The frightful nuisance to which travellers by the Morris and Essex road have been subjected in going: to and from the ferry has at last aroused some spirit of action, and yesterday a petition, signed by a.large number of merchants and others doing basi- ness down town, against the obstruction of Barclay street on both sides, from voliege 1 to the Hoboken ferry, was presented to the i or. The petition says tliat the obstructions have become intolerable; that the use of the sidewalks for the storage of mercliandise 1s an unjustifiable m- terference with the rights of the people to the thoroughfate, and that the use of the sidewalks for such purpese result in blocking up the gutters so as to have a deleterious effect upon the sanitary condition of the neighborhood. The petition closes by asking the Mayor to abate the nuisance. The Mayor then sent the following order to J. J. Kelso, Chief of Police, and to Captain Thorne:— ‘The street to every ferry must be cleared of all sidewalk obstructions not of a merely transient and temporarily necessary character in @ commerc! A.

Yesterday afternoon Deputy Coroner Wooster Beach, M. D., assisted by Drs, Thos. C. Finnell and 8, 4. Clark, of Houston street, made a post-mortem ex- amination on the body of Margaret Jones, the colored Woman who was murdered in her room at No, 250 West Houston street, on Monday night, as fully reported in yesterday’s Heraup, The medical gentlemen found an incised wound in the right thigh, about three inches in length, ex- tending inward and severing the femoral artery. Death resulted from hemorrhage. During tne ex- amination a singular discovery was made by Pro- | fessor Clark. While having the heart in his hand a sharp pointed instrument partially pierced one of the Doctor's fingers, and op searching for the cause he found A NEEDLE EMBEDDED IN THE HEART.

Arrested on Suspicion—A Frightened Darky, But Not che Right Man. Officer Austin, of the Thirty-secoad sub-precinct, at an early hour yesterday morning arrested a negro in the upper portions of the city who was covered With blood and had one eye badly bruised, supposing him to be the murderer of Margaret E. Jones, who was murdered by her husband at No, 250 West Houston | street, on Monday night. Upon conveying him before Superintendent ixelso at the Central Onice he denied gave his name as John Evans, twenty-three years of age, residing in Striker’s alley, Brooklyn. Captain McDonnell was sent for, and, to the affrighted negro’s delight, stated he was not the man. He was accordlogly discharged and left the building maumbiing to himself that he nebber killed any one. THE HISTORIGAL SOCIETY. The New Board of Oilicers—Financial Condl- tion—The Library.

Reporter learns that John Sullivan, of that village, came in from his work on Tuesday night, and, for some real or fancied misdemeanor, gave one of his boys 8 severe whipping. Shortly after his two boys, about eleven and fourteen years of age, seized John and took him out Joors, and, after fastening his hands behind him and tying a hand- kerchief in his mouth for agag, took him to the barn and hung him up with a rope around his neck. His wife going out to see wnat kept them so long, found Sullivan in an insensible condition and cut him down. The boys have disappeared and have not been heard from since. Jt is said that Sullivan was in the habit of beating nis boys frequently, and they seem to be paying him back With interest. SHIPPING NEWS. Ks 446 OCEAN STEAMERS.

A commodious building, reaching across the foot of the street, is now going up, hav- ing a superb Gothic gateway serving as the entrance to the wharves. Along the shores an additional shed for the storage of freight is also being built, extending as far as Sussex atreet, where the dock isto be covered, The latter butlding wili contain rooms for the company’s offices, count rooms, mess rvoms, sitting rooms for the seamen and @ library. Of late the shipping community of New York, or, rather, the members of that branch of it directly conneeted with the carrying trade with California, have been more than a little exercised upon instituting a comparison of the business of 1870 with that of the preceding year. The records of 1869 show that there cleared from the ports of New York and Boston, for San Francisco, 103 vessels, while the year just past only foots up a list of 60 vessels, making the very per- | ceptible decrease of 42 vessels, with a carrying capacity of | 65,000 tons or thereabouts, This exhibit is far from pleasant to the owners of the shipping engaged in this trade, and {s due to several reasons, Prominent among them was the un- fatisfactory state of the trade in San Francisco and the {reat changes wrought in its mercantile community through | te grand railroad connection and assimilation of business | with the Eastern States. Aside from this the business of 1870 was far from being brisk, and {t was not until near the end | Of the year that freights were sufficiently remunerative to tempt shipowners sending their cargoes in that direction... During the months of March, April and May some ship- | ments wore made at rates that would not pay a vessel going | to anear Southern port, much less around Cape Horn. To view of these facts and the quicker methods of transporta- tion of to-day, the question arises: Will this business ever gain assume anything like its old preportions, either in amount of goods seeking conveyance or in process of trans- The answer must be in the negative, as all mer- chandise slowly but surely avails iteef of the quickest and shortest modes of transportation, even at an increase of cost. Should there be in the future any excess of heavy goods seeking shipment vessels then on the berth could ob- tain the trade, and their owners reap the benefits accruing therefrom ; but that would only be spasmodic and could not be quoted as a healthy indication of @ better state of affairs. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company have been compelled to encounter a large falling off in their California trade via the Isthmus during the year past, and the shipments by the Pacific Railroad have been moderate during the same time, with an occasional increase of busines as the San Francisco marketsscemed to render necessary. Merchants concerned advise that neither of these lines have endeavored in this particular to make their lines popular, and while it is inevi- table that the slower modes of transportation must give way to the quicker ones hence to San Francisco, » fair adjust- ment of all the difficulties now apparent betwecn the railway officials and business men will not be made unti! one or the other of the railroads now pushing across the contment is completed, when the opposition engendered between the Tival lines will in all probability reform many of the abuses which at this time appear to be frremediable, ‘There arrived from foreign po rt Year 1870, 4875 vessels, as follow 1023 Galliot.
