In former years the Society met at the old
Chinese Museum, on Ninth street, but of late
they have had the use of the large Hall on the
corner of Broad and Walnut streets. These quar
ters becoming too restricted, about two years
aeo the project of a new hall was discussed. At
first It was proposed that the Society should join
Its resources to those of the Historical and other
learned societies ot tbe city, and that they
ibould in combination erect a building which
would not only afford ample tacilities
'for all the associations interested, but would
prove an addition to the architectural beauty of
Philadelphia. For some reason or other this
clan dropped, and on the 17th of January, 1865,
tbe Society resolved upon the erection of a hall
of their own. Subscriptions for this purpose
were solicited by a committee of twenty-tive,
then appointed, and consisting ot the following
gentlemen:
--Dt Bodner King. Chairman; M. W. Baldwin,
Caleb Cope, Goneral K. Patterson, J . Mttoheil,
Faitmao Rovers, tv S. Prioe, Charles P. Hayes,
Thomas V. James, W, L Sctiaflor, ttobert Burnt, k.
M. Marshal), Henry A. Dreer, A W. Harrison,
James Kitclile, I'eter Mackenzie, Charles Harmar,
Robert Cornelius G. U, Burgin, M. D Thomas
C. Pe'dval, Thomas Meeban, John Lambert, Samuel
J. Bharpleis, Jaaios L. Claghorn, G. W. Earl.
The ground selected and secured by the Com
mittee was the larie lot on Broad street adjoin.
. lug the Academy of Music on the south, with
a frontal ot seventy- nve leet on uroaa street,
and a depth of two hundred leet. Between the
new Hail and tbe Academy there will be an
open space of fifteen feet, while on tbe south
side liesWestmoreland street, which is thirty feet
in width. Tbe new Hall will thus have all the
light and ventilation that could be desirable.
The New Horticultural Hall
which Is now in course of erection at this
locality, will be one ot the most substantial, as
veil as one of the most attractive, bulldines in
tbe city. The plans and drawings from which
it is being built have been prepared by Messrs.
Sloan & Hutton, architects, of No. 152 South
Vourth street, and the admirable manner in
which they have executed the task assigned
them willj tend greatly to Increase the great re
putation which they already enjoy.
Tbe outer walls oi the bufldiug are of brick,
and thirty-one inches in thickness, thus giving
all the stability and durability that could be
desired1. The Broad street front will be of
neatly-dressed cm-stone. It will have a width
of 75 feet and a height of CO feet.' There will
be a protecting portico In front, supported by
columns of red eandston. The window dreas-
i ings are to be of the same materlnl, which will
form a striking and pleasing contrast to the
pearl-grey stone oi which the main body of the
' lront will be composed. .....
On the ground floor there will be two large
'-falls. The one adjoining Broad street will be
ji'i by 70 leet in dimensions, and 12 feet in the
4 niooi- In the rear ot this there is to be a ban-
ft
ueting hall. 70 by HZ leer, ana wiu a capuuuy
'or comfortably seating about one thousand

persons. Botn oi tnese. um wi
lighted and ventilated. At tbe west end of the
building will be a room 25 by 70 feet, with a
height of 16 feet. This will be devoted to the
purposes of rehearsal, and will have a private
entrance on Westmoreland street, as well as a
private stairway leading to the stage and main
Theaudi'torinm of the main hall will be 71 by
120 fcet in dimensions, and will contain a com
fortable seating capacity for fifteen hundred
persons, all the seats being regularly numbered.
The entrance will be from the Broad street front,
by an easy rise of only sir feet This will open
into an ample vestibule, 20 by 42 feet, adjoining
which will Ve tb ticket offices and dressing-
rooms lor ladies ana genueuieu u euc
tsrb It by 20 leet .
Pvfx tie drewlng-roowi, and fronting on
Broad street, will be a handsome, well-lighted
foyer, 29 by 71 feet, with a height ol 30 lee'.
Tbe foyer w II contain the horary of tbc So
ciety, and will also be nea'ly arranged for their
regular meeilnirs, and for parlor concerts and
similar entertainments
The main hall will be one of the largest and
most attractive In the city. The stuge will
have an elevation of five feet above tho main
floor, and being seventy-one feet deep by thirty
one leet n width, it will ailord accommoda
tions for about two hundred chorus singers, la
addition to the orchestra and other necessary
accompanimeuts. It will be llaoked by orna
mental columns and proscenium boxes, leaving
an opening of lorty-tivo leet for tbe curtain.
On a level with Ibe foyer, and cxtetiding
around three sides of the main hall, will be a
narrow gallery, resting on handsome brackets,
and baving stairways descending to the main
floor at the west end. It will atlord sitting room
lor Bve hundred persons, makinga total capacity
in the main hall for full two thousand spectators.
This gallery will be similar to the one in the
upper saloon of the old Chinese Museum.
During the exhibitions of tbe Society, balls, etc.,
tbe seats will be removed, thus atlording de
lightful accommodations for promenading.
Tbe celling ol the main hall will be 60 feet In
height. In its construction the greatest atten
tion will be devoted to the end ot securing the
best musical e Meets attainable. Tbe walls will
be elegantly frescoed, and all tho interior deco
rations and upholstering will be arranged with
the view of aiding the eiiect ol this.
As the entire capacity of the hall will be
ample for three thousand persons, great atten
tion will be paid to the securing of sufficient
strength, light, and ventilation, aud more par
ticularly to means of exit in case ot fire or
sudden panic. To secure this latter object
there will be two doorways on Westmoreland
street, and two others on tue north side of the
building, in addition to the main entrance on
Broad street. All these doors will be made to
open outwards.
Such will be the new hall which will soon
grace our city. And it will surely be an institu
tion of which we may well be proud. That tbe
proptictors will be amply remunerated 16 r their
great outlay in its construction is already
roved, by ihe fact that numerous applications
lor leasing it at a liberal rale are already on
tile. But few shares of the stock remain
uupold, and it is hoped that the public spirit ot
our citizens will soou dispose even of these.
Despeiate Leap of an Insane Man from a
Hallroad Train.
It is known to many that Mr. George Bartlett,
of the brm ot Baitlett Utof hers, under tbe Sher
man House, has been for some time insane, and
was taken about a year ago for treatment to the
State Asylum at Jacksonville. After a previous
unsuccessful attempt he lately escaped from
that institution, and returned to Chicago. There
seemed to be no abatement in his malady, and,
alter a short sojourn in tbe city, it was deter
mined by his ft lends to titke him back to the
asylum. He manifested the most intense oppo
sition to this when it was being discussed, aud
continued to do so until be was safely ensjonced
on the train.
Alter the train was under war. with that deep
cunning which is olten exhibited by insane per
sons, he professed to believe that, upon a due
consideration, bis best course would bo to yield
to the wishes of his friends. The train left here on
Wednesday nilit. Deceived by his professions ot
acquiescence, tbe two guardians retired to rest,
one of tbem Mr. Willard occupying the same
berth with Mr. Bartlett. At about tour o'clock
in the morning. Mr. Bartlett arose from his
berth and retired to one end of the car, but his
absence being discovered, he returned attain to
bis couch. Shortly alter vards ho made a re
newed attempt to get out ol bed, but was de
tected and iuduced to desist.
In a lew moments more, when bis bed-fellow
bad dropped into a momentary slumber, he
appears to have sprung lightly from his berth,
and to have gone to the door of the car. His
absence was discovered in an instant by bis
guardian, who at once sprang to trie floor, and
lushed out upon the platform. Just as he was
opening the door he met the colored janitor.
who intormed blm that Mr. Bartlett hud gone
out on tbe platform in his stocking feet, and
had jumped from tbe train. The train was rtiu
nlDg at the rate of thirty miles an hour at the
time, and it was very ditlicult for a person to
maintain a looting outside the car.
The scene of the occurrence was ' about five
miles this side of Lincoln, which place the train
reached in a few moments. Here Mr. Willard
and Mr. Huntington eot oil' from the train, aid,
as soon as it was daylight, proceeded on foot up
tbe track for a distance ol twelve miles, but
without finding a single trace of tho insane mau.
Every nook, cranny, aud culvert on either side
was searched, but nothing was seen to indicate
that Mr. Bartlett was in the reion, nor was
there anything to show where he had lauded
wben be made ine leariut leap.
The embankment for the whole jlistttuce wis
of a soft, gtassy, or sandy nature, and incredible
as it may seem, it is believed that he has sus
tained no injury, but is lurnlng somewhere in
the vicinity, !f bis happened on Thursday morn
ing, and though the search has been continued
under tbe superintendence of the lunatic's
brother, Mr. Wm. Bartlett, and several other
persons, ever since tbe occurrence, nothing has
yet been discovered oi the insane man. Mr.
Bartlett has au Insurance of $101,000 on his life,
which makes the question of his safety a matter
of pre at pecuniary interest to the life insurance
companies. Chicago Republican, Saturday.

From the Savannah Daily Xetet, 19;.
Mr. William A. Goldlo, second officer of the
lost steamer Evening Afar, w&ose arrival at the
mouth of the St. John's river we reported In
our Issue of Wednesday last, reached this city
last evening, and has kindly furnished us wlta
the lollowing hastily prepared, though strictly
correct narrative of tbe foundorlng of the
JCtening Mar, and his perilous voyage froui
mid-ocean to the Florida coast:
Left New X ork Saturday, 3 o'clock P. M.,
baving on board two hundred and tilty cab n
and steeraee passengers, and a crew of seventy
persons. Crossed t be bar at Sandy Hook. At
6 P. M. discharged pilot Strong breezes from
the N. E., with rain and heavy 6ea. Monday,
8 A. M., made Cape Uattcrns; moderate breeze
and heavy swell from 8. K.: crossed the Gulf
Stream as usual. At midday on Tuesday, 2d
Instant, fresh gale from N. K., and cloudy; all
sail set, shin making eleven knots per hour.
Four P. M. blowing a heavy gale with a
tremendous sea; the ship making bad
weather; took in alt sail, and hauled head
to the sea. At 8 P. M., blowing a tremen
dous hurricane, and wind changing to all
points" of the compass; all of the crew at
their several stations, ready for any emergency
in case of accident. 10 P. M. a heavy sea struck
the ship on her port quarter, carrying away
steerage gear and throwing one ot the quarter
masters over tbe wbeel, breaking bis tight arm.
The ship fell off into the trough of the sea.
Hooked re'icving ta'-klcs immediately; snipped
a heavy sea, carrying away paddle-boxes and
-bursting in engine-room doors, besides
breaking steam pipe and filling tbe engine
and tire room with water, putting out
the fires in the furnaces. The engineers
immediately bad donkey fire boiler to pump
ship; alP bands, including the male passen
gers, at work bailing the ship. At midnight a
heavy sea struck the ship, carrying away tbe
donkey smoke-pipe and tilling the ship with
water, putting out fires In donkey boiler. Got
fcteam on asain as soon as possible, the water
gaining fast. All of the lady passengers at work
bailing water from the after saloon, under the
supervision of the purser and stewarJ. At four
A. M. Captain Knapp gave me orders to have all
tbc boats ready, witn oars, breakers, provisions,
and compasses we I secured in them, and report
to him, wh'ch was immediitcly attended to.
At 430 A. M. I had all the boats ready as
ordered, and reported the same to Captain
Knapp; at 5 A. M. fchip was settling la3t; Cap
taiu Knapp went to the saloon door and told
the ladies that he bad done all that laid in his
poaer to save the ship; that she could float but
a Fhort t'me longer, and lor tbem all to repair
to the boats, each of which bad an officer sta
tioned at them them to take charge and see
that tbc passengers were properly placed in the
bants. The ladies all came on deck without
any excitement, and very calmly went to tbe
boats. In my boat there were, as near as I
could judge, between forty and fifty ladiesv I
unhooked the tackles and swnnx th) davits
clear oi tbe boats; the boat still remaining in
her chocks on deck. In a few minutes after tbe
boats cleared, the ship settled forward to the
top ol her rails and gave a surge aft and went
down, carrying all with her.
On coming to the surlace, the first thing I got
hold of was the top ot the alter bouse. I sa v
my boat about thirty feet from mo, bottom up,
and a number of sailors clinging to her. I Im
mediately mude for her, got on to the bottom,
and hauled up four ladies on to the boat with
mc, and by surging to ouo side, succeeded in
righting her. I then paid my attention to getting
tbe ladies into the boat, aud succeeded in rescu
ing twenty-nine of tliem. On exa nining my
boat I found everything had been washed out
of her. We managed to get the bout clear of
the wreck, but not until a number ot my pas
sengers had been killed by floating dfbna from
the wreck washing over the boat. I saw an
other boat with but two persons (passengers) in
her. They hnvlne oars, I motioned them to
pull ahead to keep clear of my boat, but they
not knowing how to manng' her, she came foul
of roe, capsizing my boat. On again reguiuing
it I succeeded in righting her, and picked up .
fonr ladies and four gentlemen, cabin passen
gers, the remainder baving been drowned b
tbe capsizing ot tho boat Iu about one hour
after I picked up another passenger, a French
gentleman of the opera troupe. I afterwards
saw a number of passengers clinging to pieces
of the wreck. My boat being full of water, and
baving nothing to manage her with, it was im
possible for me to render" them any assistance,
the safety of my boat and passengers requiring
my whole attention. It is impossible lor me to
say what became of the other boats. r
Onthe4tb I picked up six turnips, which I
gave to tbe ladies to eat. 1 also picked up an
awnipg-post, which I made a mast ol, uslne my
shirt lor a sail, aud steering the boat with a
pietx of thwart, I shaped my course for the
westward.
On Friday, the 5th, I had a fresh breeze from
the eastward, the boat p.oing alone finely under
sail. I heard tbe gentlemen complaining bit
terly fur the want of water, the ladies remaining
perfectly quiet. About dark oue of the ladles
died.
Saturday, the 6th, stroug breezes from the
eastward, and heavy sea. We were all suffering
dreadfully for want of water, and against all of
my warning they would drink salt water, which
made them a great deal worse, some of. them
becoming Insane. ,
Sunday, 7th, heavy gales from eastward and
heavy sea. At about 7 we made a sail aud
steered for it. She passed without seeing us.
She was so near to us that I could see her. At
about 9 A. M. one of the gentleman passengers
jumped overboard and was drowned. At about
8 P. M. two more of my gentlemen passengers
becoming insane, lumped overboard aud were
drowned. At about 10 P. M. a heavy sea
struck the boat, capsizing her, aud drowning
one lady and one gentleman. The gentleman's
name was Frank R. Dennis.
I succeeded in righting the boat and getting
on bonrd the three remaining passengers, oue
gentleman and two ladies. I then made a diag
with my mast and boat's painter, and kept the
b jut's, bead to the wind duriug the remainder of
the night.
Monday, October 8, About 2 A. M. the re
maining gentleman passenger jumped over
board. " 1 succeeded iu gettlug him ou board
atrain. He remained for about five minutes,
when he went forward aud Jumped overbjard
again and was drowne I. He was a member f
the opera troupe. Tbe weather moderating,
the two remaining ladies aud myself ringed tiia
bout out with a piece of one of their under
garments. We then made suil on the boat and
steered to the westward. At daylight 1 fouud
myself in colored water, and steered to the
westward, with light breeze and hot sun, we all
suilenng so terribly from thirst and hunger,
tbe ladies became speechless. Theli names
weie Miss Addie Norton and Mh. Rose Howari,
ot New York.
Tuesday, 9th, a fresh" breeze sprung up from
the eastward, with a heavy swell. About 2 P. M.
I made the land and stood for it. About 6 P. M.
I made a light -but oould not steer tor it on ac
count of having no manageable salL About one
hour alter this a shower came ud; I caught some
water with a piece of their clothing and wrung
it into the mouths of tbe ladles, which so revived
them that they could speak. As near as 1 can
ludge, about lo P. M., I got inside of the outer
breakers. After passing through three breakers,
and thinking we were safe, the fourth breaker
struck the boat, rolling her completely over and
over, throwing us all three out. It being very
dark, I could not see either of the ladies; they were
much exhausted; they must have perished Imme
diately. I swam to the shore, and as soon as I
got on the beach I looked for my boat and found
her but a few feet from me. I searched for the
ladies, but could not find them ; I then strolled
along the beach to find assistance and water.
At 8-30 A. M., 10th inst, I arrived at Mav Port
Mills, Florida, at the mouth of the St. "Johns
river, where I was kindly relieved by Mr. A. B.
Floyd, who rendered me ready assistance, as
also did Dr. James J. Eastman, United States
Surgeon. I also return my thanks to the Cap
tain and officers of the United States steamer
M Jdnry, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Kemps; also to
Captain C'blsholm, of the brig Freedom, and his
chief officer, lor their assistance in recovering
my boat.
The body of Miss Norton was recovered on the
irorning of the 10th inst., and buried on the
beach; and that of Mrs. Howard was not re
covered until tbe 12tb, and was taken to May
Port, and interred in the. United States burying
ground. I would also return my thanks to
Captain King and officers of the steamer Lizzie
Baker, lot their kindness to me on my passage
from St. Johns to this port. W. A. Goldib,

THE FENIANS.
A Desperate Fight Imminent in Ireland
Arms and Men to be Sent at Once to
the Green Isle Two War Vessels Ready
Twenty Thousand Tippcrary Tigers
Prepared for Battle, Etc.
A short time since, James Stephens, the Head
Centre ot the Fenian Brotherhood, announced,
in a speech at Jone9 Wood, that he would leave
before the close of the present year, to command
the battle for Celtic independence on Ittsh soil;
and he is now preparing to redeem bis promise.
Tbe arrangements lor this movement, which
will necetshnly be of a secret chiracter. have
been made on a scale commensurate with its
impoitance. Nearly twenty thousand arms
have been received for this purpose, and they
will be forwarded to the Green Isle in a manner
which will, it is said, render detection impos
sible. One of the leading officers of the organization
reports that there are twenty thousand men
ready to fight In Tippcrary and the adjoining
counties, and that they are only waiting for
the weapons of war to commence tbe revolution,
which is designed to get rid of Saxon oppres
sion forever.
The Celts In nearly all the counties are also
ready for the "rising."
An important rumor was in circulation yes
teiday at the headquarters, that there were two
Fenian war ships ready to sail from a certain
port in Ihe United States to Ireland, with ritles
and men, which are now subject to the orders
of the Head Cen're. He will also leave with
the expedition. The uniforms of the officers,
which are of green cloth, are being made, but
the time of their departure is, of course, a pro
found secret. It is calculated that at least one
I undred thousand Celts will tise against the
British Government when James Stephens gives
the signal for the revolution, while the number
to be brought aeainst them will not exceed
thirty thousand. -N. Y. World.
Pursuit of on English Murderer.
HANDSOME It IS WARD TO TUB METROPOLITAN
POLICE.
This morning Superintendent Kennedy re
ceivtd nmety-tive pounds bterliii'j. which ha I
been transmitted to him by the Exchequer De
partment of the British Government, throutrh
Junior J. J. Greiphead, constable of the bnroiigh.
ot Liverpool, us a reward lor tho apprehension
ol a wife-murderer named Robert Rsl l, by the
Metropolitan Police.
Ihe pursuit ol tbis murderer is interesting, as
Illustrating the persistency with which the Eng
lish authorities pursue murderers. On the 4th
ol December, 1862, a travelling tinker named
Robert Reid killed bis wife Anna at a village
near Liverpool. The murderer rled to Liverpool,
and then shipped tor New Vork.
An accuiate description of Reid was obtained
and sent to tbis country, together with an oiler
of a reward of one hundred pounds sterling tor
Ins an est. On arrivine in this city, Reid shipped
in the navy, and his whereabouts could not be
ascertained.
After his discharge he returned to this city to
live, and on the 14ib ot June, 1806, Officer John
Donaghy, of the Twenty-eighth Precinct, in
formed Superintendent Kennedy that he knew
where Reid could be found. Mr. Kennedy im
mediately communicated with the Liverpool
authorities, and Detective Marsden, of that city,
came to New York, reaching here on the 16th
ot August last. The officer brought with him a
woman who saw Reid kill bis wife. Tbis was
for the purpose of identifying the prisoner.
On the arrival of the Liverpool officer, Cap
tain John F. Dickson and Officer Donaghy. of
ihe Twenty -eighth Precinct, were directed to
arrest Reid. Tbey learned that the mau bad
attended a picnic a day or two before, and was
at that time confined in the Klnes Countv Jail
cn a cbarge of drunkenness. On the 18th of
August Reid was taken from the jail and sent
to police badquarters, where ho was identitied
hy the woman. The necessary papers were ob
tained from Washington, aud on the 25th of
August Reid sailed for England in charge of tbe
ofticer.
The arrest having been made known to the
British Government, steps were at 6nce taken
to pay tne reward ottered at the time the crime
was committed. Five pounds were given to
tho woman who identified the accused, and
tbe remaining ninety-five pounds to the officer
who arrested the murderer. Fifteen per cent,
of the latter sum goes to the Police Lite In
surance Fund, and the remainder will be di
vided between the officers who arrested Reid.

"II tbe facts respecting tho engagement of
Lissa, in which I took part, devotedly desiring
to render a new service to my country, esta
blUh the loss sustained by us of two vessels
a serious loss, certainly, especially If we con
sider tho number of able men who perished
with them-they also show that the battle
which began with ten iron-clads only against
the eutire fleet of the enemy, consisting of
twenty-seven ships, of which twenty-fiye were
fighting vessels, was sustained and continued,
although our number was reduced to elht, and
that we are able to boast of having pursued pur
antagonists in their retreat. I do not pretend
in the least by what I have eaid to claim a
victory; but it is my wish to put on record
that the ships which fought the battle of Lisa
maintained the honor ot the Italian flag, and
perlormcd their duty towards the King and the
nti ion."

There Is no material change to notice in the
Money Marsret. Loans on call are offered at
4fi5 per cent.; 1st class mercantile paper con
tinues scarce, and ranges at from 67 .per cent.,
per annum.
The New York TrRmne this morning says:
"The money market is fully supplied with call
loans at 45 per cent. By reference to the bank
(fakement it will be seen that their managers
are still expanding their loans in the face of a
steady decrease not only in their deposits, but
in their reserve of leeai-teuders. Nor is there
much reason to suppose they will change their
policy until the financial balloon explodes.
Bank officers, mauagers of railways, and finan
cial institutions generally, go a great way in
making up Ihe swaim of bulls who are now put
ting up prices by clique movements, aided by
cheap money at call. They are not disposed
by conservative measures to check an advance
which would Inflict severe terms upon them in
common with ordinary speculators. They may,
however, be brought to their senses by a re
duction in plain legal tenders in the next Trea
sury statement to the extent of $10,000,000, and
perhaps to $14,000,000, and an assurance by Mr.
McCulloch that he 1b able to destroy $4,000,000
per month until tbe whole of the disgraceful
Joreed loan in the form of legal tenders is
cancelled. Such are the intimations from
Washington, and in view of the meeting of
Congress, tbey are likely to be fully realized.'"
The New York Uera'd this morning says:
"Tbe practical ease of the Money Market was
demonstrated by tbe offerings of loans at four
per cent, which were made freely during the
afternoon. This was the general rate; but thee
were a number of executions at five, although a
few of the leading dealers in Government secu
rities weie able to borrow at 33. As on the
25th instant the remaining fifty per cent, of the
Clearing House 'certificates mature, there is
every probability tbat further bank expansion
will follow."
