P Stanton, in the chair. Sir Henry Halford, captain of the late British team, was present for the purpose of interchanging views with the association on the sub- ject of internotional long range matches Ho said that be had expressed a desire to meet the Board of Directors in consequence of @ letter he had received trom Mr. Buck, in reference to a new inter- national prize. He d, in addition, that it would afford the British nation very much pleasure to par- ticipate in any international matches that might be had with the American nation, If the American people thought it well to get up a sub- scription ‘for a new international prizo he felt sure that many persons in Kngland would add their contripution, He would like to have @ purely British team participate in w match of this kind—that is, that the team represonting bis country should be composed of British marksmen from England and her colonies. ‘he conditiens of the great match were, in otber respects, not unacceptable, He would prefer to bave 1,100 yards subsututed for 800 in the match, with two days’ shooting, the same as before, and thought that Wimbiedoa would not be an inappropri- ate piace whereon to shoot b AMERICAN OPINION. General Dakin said we had already established an intervational trophy, bu} marksmen from other coun- tries did not think it an interaational trophy, us wore than ove team irom any couvtry wight enter for i, In order to overcome the diiliculty and to estub- lisb a pew international trophy he would contribate $500 toward getting up @ trophy that would be -presented vy ethe people of the Untied States to the Natioi Ritle Association, who would see to its being properly shot for. He thought that the country of Sir Henry should not be allowed to stand any portion of the oxpense of get- ting up such new mutch, He was long ugo in luvor of shooting at 1,100 or even 1,200 yards, instead of tho shorter distances, Aluericans bad thus tar proved their superiority at ranges heratofore used, and could, no doubt, keep their places at any other rauges. The longer distunces could be agroed upou without increas- ing the 8.ze o! the bull’s-eyo, Colonel G W. Wiagate felt assured that the most friendly toelings were entertained toward Sir Henry’s team, yet be was gure that the Board of Direce tors ‘ure unanim in their long ago expressed couviction that the conditions of the trophy match should not Be swerved trom. He disagreed with spoak- ers who thought tue matches already shot uot inter- national, ‘hey were so in every respect. It could not ve denied that Irishmen apd Scutcumen are dis- Unct as to Nationality, As to the matter of allowing or not more teams than one from Greut Britain, that appeured to be ulready settiod, ‘Judge Gildersieeve said that, so far ashe could as- certuin from among the people, they want to seo a mutch between the representative riflemen from all parts ol this country und those of Great Britan ond her colonies, He believed that if Sir Henry’s country- men would, after he should go home, send @ chul- lenge, no doubt a team could be organized here to meet them and to shoot against them on some neutral range, Major Fulton wanted to say, regarding the term ‘‘in- ternational,” thut the match which had been shot for the last two years was ip all respects imtermational, It wasso accepted botn hore and in England, Licutenant Colouel Sanford gubmitted that wo cid Dot shoot alone for the trophy, but for the champion- ship of the world; this we had acquired, and there the matter rests for the present. THE ENGLISH POINT OF VIEW. Sir Henry agreed with Colonel Sanford that English- men would shoot only ior the championship of the world, The Americuns ure the champions of the world tnis year; Englishmen did not concede them such right last year, Hoe dissented trom some of tue views expressed by geutlemen present Lt 1s useless to call Scotland @ nation; she i# not u Dation. It is useless to call Ireland a pation, for she is nota nation, ‘Tue United Kingdom 1s one people, and it is impossible that toe National Rifle Association of Great Britain could send vat a team to compete nere against their own couutrymen, and It is dilficult to compre- hend how America could receive as representatives teams from Scottish and Irish clabs that are affiliated with te Britwn Rifle Association, if lrolund aud Scotlana wore allowed to send out teams this would deprive the British of some of their best marksmen, und xo tuey would be forced to take the fleld with ao iferiof team, He heid that they were oue nation to all intents and purposes, to a8 great an extent as tho Northern and Southern States are. in reply jeove, the speaker said that in in Scotland there uro some people who set up 4 distinct nationality, but sach idea is bot eotertained or permitiod among the educated people of the land He fuvored the initia tion of a new mate, and the centennial trophy could bo set aside and shot for by Scotchmen or Munxwen, for tne Manxmen are quite as much a nation us the Scotch. Alter some. further discussion the following resoiu- tion was adopted: — Resolved, That it is the sonse of this Board thut a team representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and trolaud is udwissible as a competitor iu duch (interny tional) match, whether separate toams from any other of the above-named countries compete ur not. At this point Sir Heary Haliord acknowledged in- handsome terms the courtesy and Kindness which ho and bis men had uniformly met with in America, and intimated bis belief that bis countrymen would in due time send a challenge to the Americans for a match to be shot at Wimbiedon.

D., delivered a lecture last evening in the Brick Presbyterian Courch, Filth avenue, on the subject of “Books and Reading.” His audience was both large and fashionable, One of the chiet objects of the Ductor’s lecture was to show what books should especially receive our attention. A moment’s thought, he said, will be sufficient to con- vince any one that he cannot read every work that is published, and a very slight acquaintance with the cbar- acter of many of the works which are beivg con- stantly launched into, the mare magnum of print will be enough to make him feel that it 18 not desirable that he should, Evidently, therefore, selection is pecessary, and the nature of that selection in each case will depend on the principles on which the reader proceeds, Tho choice which he makes will be regulated by the pur- pose which he has in view, und somewhat also by those personal idiosyncrasies which inciine him \o one subject rather than another, and which are usu- ally strongest 1n the diredtion tn which bis mind is greatest. But, whatever a man’s leanings may be, there are certain great books with which he should be more or less acquainted. 1t would be impossible for me to reckon up all those members of the aristoc- racy of thought who have by the concarrence of all been elevated to the peerage of literature, byt it would not be creditable to any one using the, English tongue and claiming any high degree “of intelligence to leave unstudied the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth or Tennyson among pocts, or these of Hume, Robertson, Gibvon, Macaulay, or Froude or Irving or Prescott or Motley among historians, or those of Locke, Reia, Hamilton and Mill among our philosophers, or those of Batler, Hill, Chalmers and Edwards among our divi By all thoughtful have been put apart from the common contributions to English literature, and whatever cise we may miss we snould on no ac- count puss rat least one or more of the nam which ip ligt 1 have mentioned Of course in the systematic prosecution of bis studies each man will be led to for which measure keep ning to physical science, aud these beginning with great work of Bacon, which 1s tbe seed plot of all our inductive progress, should then single out for themselyes the particular branch of inquiry which they mean to pur- gue, whether ustronomy under the guidance of Herschei and his fellows, or geology under the lead- ership of Lyell, Murchison, Miller aud the rest, or botany under the tutelage of tue masters of that in- teresting science, or chemistry, or clectricity, or what- ever else, The choice of the dopart twill lead at once to the works that are most important in it. Others again may wish to study history ana they will bave a rich choice in the works which 1 haye already named, while otvuers still may read for tue cultivation of tuste and the education of the imagination, and for this purpose po work will serve more admirably thao the piuys of Shakespeare, The speaker then went through nearly the whole range of art, science, litera- ture and theology, directing his hearers to the intel- Jectual hghts which would best serve to illuminate their pathway and render easy their progress through the labyrinthino windings of human knowledge, THE PREVENTION OF CRIME. The Ninth Ward Auxiliary Society for the Prevon- tion of Urime held a meeting last evening at the North Baptist Church, corner of Christopher and Bedford stroots, It was addressed by Rev. %. 8. Osbon, Rev. J. J. Brouner, bir. J. D. Read and Mr. E, D. Culver, Mr. Culver’s address was the principal speech of the evening. He explained to the people the license law as it existe and wed them how they could putan effec- tual stop to the greater part of the liquor trafic. He told hig hearers that they should do all they could to bring these dramsbop keepers within the power of the en if they had to taste the liquor sold them- selves; it woula be no harm, so that they brought tie necessary evidence to convict. The liquor dealers wore already trembling before the efforts of the society and wore willing to beg for mercy. ‘Be not afraid of friends. They have not half the courage y He then spoke of the cases recently brought before the Court of Genoral Sessions, and said that a whole batch of liquor dealers would be brougnt botore the Reoorder to-day and sentenced, “And, my friends,” continued Mr. Culver, ‘it has leaked out that they are to be fined each of them a re- apectable sam this time, but the Recorder intends to admonish them that if evor brought before him aguin they will be subjected both to fine and imprisonment.’?

AN ADVENTUROUS FLIGHT IN THE MOONLIGHT— NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING—A ROMAN- TIC RESCUE, [From the St, Louis Globe, Uctober 16.] Miss Liazie [hling Wise, a niece of the great wro- maut, made an ascension in the balloon Amuzon, from Grand avenue Basoball Park, between five and six o'clock on Sunday evening, aud landed after going some sixteen miles, in Columbia Bottom.

Aud, taking out his note book and Faber, the reporter wrote, at Miss Wiso’s dictation, the following narrative of hor twentieth rial voyage:—‘As you are awarc, 1 ascended trom tu basebali ground on Grand avenue on the 14th Inst, The asceusion was delayed in tne hope that a Javer hour would bring an atmosphere sufficiently calm to justify my exploring experiment, as an- nounced.

TOTAL APPRAISED VALUE OF THE LAMON) PERSONAL ESTATE, $234,863—waar was DONE YESTERDAY, Mr. George J, Plume, the alleged defaulter, and ea ecutor and trustee of the Lamont estate, did not visit his office in Exchange place yesterday. Owing to the serious illness of his wife he remained at th¢ Clarendon Hotel ali day. He neid a long consultation yesterday with Mra, Lamont and Charles Lamont, Jr., and several friends of the family. The advisability of Mr. Plume again resuming business was anxiously deo bated. Mr, Plume expressed himself as sanguine o! success, ‘With my experience on the strect and my recent bad luck to make me more discreet in the future, with a moderate capital, 1 must succeed. My failure has pot damogeda my business status. My credit in a measure is yet good, and perbaps with a brave effort 1 might be able to retrieve my fallen fortunes. It would be cowardly ot me to despair, I am cone paratively young, and as soon as this storm blows over we may all see brighter skies again, ‘These sanguine expectations were not shared by hia relatives. Mra, Lamont lsteved calmly, but gave no token of encouragement, while it is said that young Mr, Lamont hus very strong opinions of bis own on the defalcation of his uncle, It is alleged that the young geatieman hag expressed himself to his friends us not looking Upon Mr. Piume’s misappropriation of “a little over $100,000” as a family mutter which does not concern the public. He, it is claimed, does not look upon the squandering of such a sum as a paltry something which, forfamily considerations, should be condoned, But the influence of bis mother restratus his natural incliaations, and there will likely be a peaceable settlement of their grievances. Mr. Plume told a Heratp reporter that his indebted. ness to the estate would not greatly exceed $100,000, in view of the fuct that he held in trust stocks, bonds and personal effects more than twice that amount, all 1 which, as he acknowledged, have mysteriously dis- appeared, there must be somo strange contusion of tacts. According to an inventory and appraisemeut ol the personal estate of the late Charles Lamont, filed in the Surrogate’s office on the 11th February, 18.4, at the instance o1 Mr. Piume, the administrator and trus- tee, the total appraised value of the personal estate amounted to $234,863, At the time of the appraise. ment a large amount of the stock was worthless and uominal, but since then it has increased iv value con- siderably, while the depreciation ot the other portion of the estate has not been of a very marked nature, The stocks avg bonds mentioned in the inventory are quite numerous, consisting of New York Ceutrul, Commerce Insurance Company, and Wabasi, Dubuque and Sioux City Rall road Company, Third National Bank, New York; Adams 'Exyress Company, Atlantic “and Pacitic Ruilroad Company, Morris and Eesex Railroud Company; puts, guarantees, certiticates and cash loans duc from certain parties, and a long list of othor collaterals, including bonds aud mortgages and assign- ments on mortgages. The aggregate amount of these securitics, as stated, was $234,803, “Are these figures correct, Mr, Plume?” asked a Heraup reporter, “Certainly; but I doubt, taken all in all, it, they would real'ze anything like that amount it they were sold now”? “hen this is the ing misappropriated “Yes; but w portion of it c: property you aro accused of hav. be satisfactorily ac- counted for; not now, however, It will all be ex- plained in good time,” “But you admit a deficit of over $100,0009"" “Yes; that ig about the amount My other debta. are trifling.” ‘STOLEN BONDS.
