of
This morning, at 10 o'clock, the one hundred and
twelfth animal commencement of tha Department of
Ann of the University of Pennsylvania came oiflu tlio
Academy of Music.
The spacious building wad never flllod with amore
brilliant andhir.ee. The parent, friends, and ac
quaintance of the young graduates crowded orches
trii, parquet to, ami the circled, their facets radiant
with pleasure and gratification, their hands bearing
numerous bouquets-floral offerings to the literary
successes of the students Biio.it to become Alumni
and their eyes Intent on the stage. This latter w
covered with chairs, arranged In a sen ltrclo. Its
centre cnt with a space in which stood a sort of
throne elevated on a snisll dais. The scene, of
nnurse which male the background was tho famous
Sicilian." Without tlio presence of tr.at lmmemo
rlal scene no eutertalnmontof a festive or collegiate
kind could be held In the Academy. So Philadelphia
'aThe(fermsnla Orchestra occupied the seats within
the railing they fill so often and so well in a musi
cal sense and rendered the various airs Inter
spersed between the speeches. The sceno, as viewed
from the stage, was beautiful and attractive in the
extreme. Multitudes of young ladies wero among
the audience In fact, the gentle ones of the other
Bex perhaps made the mulorlty of those not directly
participating In the proceedings their rosy cheeks.
JiiolHt and luscious lips, eyes like sparkles, and
dresses of the sun-beam's hues, constituting a picturo
on which the rye lingered, and over wlUcli It roved
wih suggestive pleasure. And Who could censure
the graduates, engrossed, os they were supposed to
be, in remembrance of the speeches they were about
getting oil', for forsaking the accustomed aud book
rusty faces of the faculty for those fresher and pret
tier ones before them 1
Punctually at 10 o'clock, having previously
gathered in the fover of the Academy, the professors,
followed by the trustees of the Institution, and a
number ol Invited notables, entered tho hall and
took their wav In procession along one of the aisles,
up a temporary flight of steps to the stage, and
thence to the scats respectively allotted them. The
Faculty wore their dark scholars' robes, and pre
sented rather an imposing appearance.
Behind this line came the graduates and under
graduates, the former also arrayed, as their profes
sors, In the college gown, and wearing the triangu
lar college cap, the time-honored "mortar-board."
These took their station on the stage, to the right
of the faculty: the others were given seats directly
Itehind the orchestra. They nil came in to tile music
of a inarch plavcd by the "Germanla."
When all were seated, and unlet reigned, Professor
Ntllle, Provost of the University, who occupied tho
chair of state, arose and introduced the Rev. Dr.
Newton, rector of the Church of the Epiphany.
This reverend gentleman pronounced a beautifully
composed praver, petitioning for the success and
prosperity of the institution from which the young
men piesent were Just going forth to the world, and
of the graduates themeelves, In the future and Inevi
table conflict they would have to sustain in life.
As the echo of Ms voice died away, the music of the
orchestra arose to take up the refrain of his suppli
cation. The following programme waa then pursued to the
end:

C'hesnut street saw au unusual light in the base
ment of the extensive Btore of Leonard, Haker & Co.,
Ho. V10 Chesnut street. On examiulug the place, ho
concluded that It was a Ore, aud gave an alarm. The
llremen arriving en the ground, poured lnimon.se
volume of water in tho building, which succeeded
in quenching the llames in about au hour. The lire
was confined principa'ly to the busemeut and the
first floor, where immense quantities of goods were
stored. The damage lniiicted will amount to nearly
$70,000, which is lully covered by insurance in the

CUBA.
The War on the Junta and Pillbuntem In New
Vork-Ktwnne of Colour! Kynn iMnt Niwht
RamoredlNalllnff of Another Expedition.
New York Is In a fever of excitement over tne new
phases which Cuban affairs in that city have as
sumed. Last night, Colonel Ryan, who was arrested
on the charge of preparing to sail with 600 filibus
ters, escaped, and, from what can now ho learned,
accomplished that very design to stop which he was
taken in custody.
But here la the story as the New York papers of
this morning tell it :
C0I.0NKL RYAN'S KHCAVB.
The UeraH states:
It may not be generally known that Colonel W. A.
C. Kyau, the youthful and dashing-looking Cuban
American patriot, and commander of the revolution
ary forces in New York, was one of the most adroit
scouts in the I'nion army during the war, but such
Is really the case, aud his very appearance, with his
long hair flowing down over hlH should, his calm,
quirt face Bnd demeanor, together wltli his lithe
frame and elan of his gait, would almost suggest the
i'a of his former occupation to any observer. Ttie
Colonel has "many a time and off found himself In
a "pretty predicament' among his grey-coated
friends at the South, but always managed to elude
their direct suspicion, or, if under arrest, to slip out
of their clutches, and no one would be much sur-
firlxed had he made some attempt to elude the vigl
ance and custody of the oillclals who had charge of
him yesterday.
and nR DID
make such an attempt, and actually succeeded be
yond the expectations of his most sanguine friends,
for he is now as free as the air, having neither given
the bail which the court demanded, nor been the re
cipient of any outside favors or kindnesses. In fact,
he Is one of thoso young fellows who can always
"shift for himself."
a private party
was at the Metropolitan, and the Colonel, one of the
most genial of "boon companions," thought he
would like to call on them before returning to tho
Jail. He accordingly proposed to go the hotel, nnd
obtained the consent of the deputy marshal to accom
pany him in a carringc.
Among the persons who have manifested a par
ticularly earnest desire to be of some direct assist
ance to Colonel Ryan during his recent double arrest
and imprisonment was
A DARK-EYKD daughter
of the "Queen of the Antilles," who is widely known
in this city for her beauty, her wealth, and tliciirdent
devotion of her person I energy, her money, and her
sympathy to the cause of the Cuban patriots. She
has repeatedly offered to furnish any amount of ball,
but the Colonel has Invariably declined, even though
the Court had expressed a willingness to admit him
to bail. About 6 o'clock this lady, with soma male
friends, appeared, and the lady again urrtd him
to permit her to give security for him, which he
modestly and respectfully declined, stating th it "his
bonds had already been signed," and that having
permission from tne United States Marshal to t ike a
drive In company with one of the deputies, he In
tended at once to go to the Metropolitan llotjl and
take leave or a few Mends. He shortly afterwards
left in a carriage with the deputy, leaving the bru
nette from the "ever faithful isle" in a btate of In
tense anxiety as to his welfare, and deeply regretting
the waywardness of l lie dashing young fellow who
had so earnestly espoused the cause of her Spartan
countrymen. He then proceeded, it Is understood,
to the Metropolitan Hotel.
AN BYEWITNFS8
of what followed, a most reputable gentleman of
Brooklyn, whose name for obvious reasons it would
be improper to give here, states that Kyan called
upon his friends, as he had Intended, and after a
pleasant Interview, at which tho deputy was present,
waved adieu to Mb companions, and turning tho
corner from Hrotidwa.y into Houston street, handed
the deputy over to the tender care of a dozen or
more friends whom he encountered "accidentally,"
and at the same time tossed to the friends a fifty
dollar bill, saying:
"lioys, take good care of him. Treat him well, for
hv has used me like a prince."
The Colonel kissed his hand, Jumped into a car
riage, and was lost In the whirl of vehicles en Broad
way. The do.en friends had meantime caught tho
flying bill, and with firm grasp, though their hands
were gloved in kids, had also taken hold of the
deputy. The olticial made frantic efforts to free
himself, and struggled savagely to escape from the
toils; but he was powerless, and in a few moments,
being taken into an adjacent house, was gently yet
securely bound hand and foot aud assigned quarters
for the night, from which, however, he was subse
quently liberated, but too late to do anything towards
the recapture of the Colonel.
the coi.onkl's last rkoret.
In an interview which the Colonel had with one or
two select friends just before his bold escape, he an
nounced his Intention, and added, "I deeply regret
my having to take this last step, but it Is the only
ono left me, and I consider that the outrages which
have been heaped npou me by the United States au

WAKDKN TRACY'S STATEMENT.
Warden Tracy, keeper of Ludlow street jail, being
called upon and questioned about the affair, said:
About 10 o'clock this morning Colonel Kyau left the
jmii, in ci nipany wnn uepuiy Aiarsnai crowiy, who
took him to court, and other prisoners. The other
prisoners came duck, ana i nnd been all the arter
noon expecting Colonel Ryan to arrive, but between
8 and 9 o'clock Deputy United States Marshals
Davis and Crowley came in here with an-
ouier prisoner named currier, and they stated
mm. ui, Mm ciose 01 me exam mat, on at court
Ryan was handed over to the ciiRtodv nt
Deputy Marshal Downic. They also stated that
Ryan had "bucked and gagged'' Downle, and made
urn impmc Hum nun. i nt-y uui noi Biaie wnere this
occurred, except that it was somewhere near Broad
way. I have been since informed that an expedi
tion of over 150 men, enlisted on behalf of the Cuban
patriots, left Jersey City to-nlglit, and that Colonel
Ryan wus among the number. The deputies told
me that Currier, when arrested, struggled hard to
escape, and that they bad considerable trouble In
preventing him and bringing him here to jail In a
carriage. At the door of the jail he made another
resistance to the officers, but assistance was pro
cured, and he was at last safely "housed."
THE MOVEMENT OF THE TKOOl'8.
The World relates the following:
Immediately after the Colonel's departure from
the Casino, the men who had been at tho various
rendezvous since the first arrest of the Colonel and
the pirate received orders to proceed at once to a
common rendezvous, which was understood to be
Taylor s Hotel, in Jersey City, with all their cloth
ing, etc., In readiness to embark for Cuba. From
about 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock last evening squads of
two and three arrived at the ferry at the
foot of Cortlandt street, aud, after a biief consulta
tion with one or more tolerably well-dressed men
who were lounging alwut that spot, quietly crossed
the ferry and gathered In front of the hotel. Some
who were too poor to raise three cents to pay their
face, wero furnished with transportation by tho
directors t)f the affair at the ferry, and thus, all the
enlisted men to the number of at lenst five hundred
were promptly ferried across and reached the ren
dezvous. THE EMBARKATION
commenced about 11 o'clock iu a very quiet man
ner. About thatliour a gentleman, who was at once
recognized as being In authority, crossed the ferry
and approaching the crowd in front of tho hotel!
gave a signal, when the busy hum of conversation
and all tribulation which until then had been quite
frequent ci used. Calling iu a low tone of voice
to three or four of the men, ho led them to the,
middle of the street, where a brleljconsultation took
place, and then he returned to the hotel, seated him
self in a chair, and watched. The men were called
out of the crowd by twos and threes, aud immedi
ately thereafter shouldered their parks and passed
ont of sight around the first corner. In a short time
the whole command was scut oil', and then the officer
lighted another l'artagas aud sauntered off also, in
the direction of the squad.
The men went ou board a tug which was lying
with steam up at one of tlio whartcs of Jersey City,
and tho tug put out into the harbor, It is understood,
transferring her passengers to a steamer iu the
lower bay. Tho corps will proceed on a steamer to
a point in Cuba already agreed upon and kuowuouly
to the Junta and the officers.
Considering the sizo of the expedition, it has cost,
Die Junta but a tritio. Tho men are all promised
bounty of M)0 in gold if Cuba succeeds, and will
receive as nav flftv tier cent, more than tlio United
States army.
1 he uniform win be very light. Summer panta,
coat, and straw hat, with a colored shirt, all of
which, togethtr with arms, were put ou board of
the steamer, with cannon, etc.. to suitluieutlv defend
themselves. The majority of the men aro Ameri
cans, together with a mixture of all nationalities,
(ieriuaiit included. There are also two or more
companies of Cubans (native). (

Politic! In Te.vnn.
Judge Paschal, of Ttxas, who Is now here, is nut
in a card to-day, defending Governor Jack Hamilton
against the charge of deserting to the Rebel party In
that State. He denounces (ieueral Davis, who heads
the opposition to Hamilton, as a bolter from the
regularly orgunized Republican party, and suvs
Davis and his followers are as bitter against Gmut
as the Rebels are. In conclusion he snys:
If the President will appoint au early election, we
will carry the Constitution by an Immense majority
as well as the Hamilton ticket, unless the Democracy
should organize and defeat us all. As It is now, more
conseivatlve Democrats are disposed to favor Vic
Hamilton ticket, and will organize and put the
ticket In the He'd U an election can lie had In Julv
or August, hut I should be very fearful of success If
the election be postponed uiitil late in the fall or
until alter the other elections. We have at least
tho consolation of knowing that none of our parry
have opposed the adoption of the Constitution,
the Reconstruction laws, or the administration. Nor
have wo put any hobby for national principle, and
we cannot recognize those who do as safe Repub
licans. Judge Paschal has heretofore been regarded as a
strong radical.
The Xcffro Oiicior,
Who were proscribed by the Medical Society of this
district and refused membership therein, have
written a letter, explaining their conduct, and de
fending themselves against the charge of being
quacks. It appears they paid the regular ltcensu
demanded by the Medical Society, and that the hit
ter meanly pocketed their money, aud then refused
them the privileges of the society. Dr. Purvis, iu
his letter, says: "It is a remarkable fact that those
who were more earnest in opposing us were a few
vears ago equally zealous in giving aid to the Re
bellion." The negro doctors announce their Inten
tion of taking measures to get back their license
money from tho Medical Society, Inasmuch as the
latter refuses their rights.

Ilrr Departure with the new French Cable.
A large company of guests were eLtertuined on
boaid tho Great Kastern tlio day before her d-
panuro ior urest wun tne French Atlantic cable.
The big ship carries the cable for the tirst and main
part of tbe line of communication. This cable U
x (02 miles in lengtn, nearly 400 miles more than the
quantity which tutilced to reach from Valencia to
Heart's Content, Material alterations have been
made in the arrangements of the ship to enable her
to carry this large extra weight. The main tank has
been Increased to the enormous diameter of 75 feet,
and holds 1112 miles of cable. Her after-tank con
tains Big miles, and the fore-tank 1M miles. The
machine! y Is the same as that used so successfully
upon the last occasion.
Tho wheels at the bow and stern, the paying-out
and winding-up apparatus, the break machine, the
long trough fur the cable ul arc the same ; and near
the stern are great red Iron buoys for buoying tlio
cable, should it be necessary. One change has been
effected which will at all times be useful, but which
in rough weather will bo of tlio very greatest value.
The rudder will now be woriced by steam, and so
perfect Is the control attained by this means, that
one man standing at his place near tho centre of the
ship can with a turn of his hand control tlio huge
vessel In the heaviest weather.
The Great Kastern will be accompanied by three
consort vessels. Of these the Cutlicru will proceed
to Hrest and will lay the heavy shore cable, some six
miles in length. The end of this will be buoyed until
the arrival of the great ship. The Great Kastern,
upon her arrival, will attach the main rope to this
end, und will proceed upon her way to St, Pierre,
accompanied by the Chlltern and Scanderla. Kau
of these vessels will carry a portion of the cable, ami
will be furnished with grappling-irons, buoys, aud
plcHng-up machinery precisely similar to that on
board fhe Great Kastern. The William Cory will go
iu iii niivuiiee wun a portion or tne came, and will
lay the heavy shore end at St- Pierre, buoying tha
end In readiness for attachment to tho main cable
upon the arrival of tho Great KiiBtem. Her ta.sk
ended, the great ship will at once return to Knglaud.
The remaining portion of the cable on board the
William Corv will then I in uueil a uH will be
effected to the line ou board the Seamier!, aud the
length will be completed with the portion Ixirne
bv the ChiJtern. and the line thus be finished to
Boston.
The N-w York Money Market.
From the Herald.
"The Inquiry for money began at an nnnsuaily
early hour to-day, tho Urat engagements being mado
before 11 o clock. The change wlilcli mibmMiiiently
occurred, taken in connection with the fact that a
decided revival of tho 'bullish' feeling In stocks
was brought about later in the day, Induces the in
ference that It was the final effort of the Shylooks to
wring extreme rates from the street. They wero
aware that the Government purchase of bonds would
turn nearly two millions of money upon the market
lnte in the day, and hence the necessity for giving
it the appearance of activity. The rate at this early
hour was as high as one-eighth per cent, per day,
equivalent to forty-five per cent, per annum. High,
rates were maintained up to a quarter to 8 o'clock,
when the e xtremo was a sixteenth and Interest, At
live minutes to B a sudden collapse took place, and
one round lot of half a million dollars was offered a
seven per rent, currency.. It was evident that those
who had sold bonds to tiie Government at noon were
anMnus to employ their money ut some rate of inte
rest over night.

"The next purchase is advertised to take place on
Saturday, and an Impression prevails that si ill
another will he made ou the Tuesday alter. The
latter day, It will bo remembered, was sugTfi'std by
Mr. Hoiitwell in order to close up within the tlsciii
year. Mr. Van Djck should make explicit whether
two sides are contemplated within th- week or
whether the sale on Saturday Is iu lieu of tint sug
gested for June 20.
"Koiclpn cxi haiigc continued ipliet,witli very little
doing. Tlio market is fri an uncertain HUte and buy
ers ate os indifferent 11s drawers. There is hardly aiiv
disposition to discount the effect of the payment of
the .Inly coupons hwd in Kurope. should the foreign
demand for our five-twenties prove Inactive in the
interval to, the beginning of next mouth, tho remit
tunces for the coupons will probably have to be
made In bills. Should the demand continue the In
terest will go back In the form of more b in. Is. The
one cause counterbalances the other, however. In
May large shipments of bonds were mado instead or
bills. The fact that the interest Is so promptly paid
keeps alive the foreign Investment demand. An
other fact bus been made manifest within the past,
few days. Sonic of the Imported goods stored In
bond are going back to Europe. Tho steamer on
Saturday is to take out some French goods which
could not be marketed. We have heavily im
ported this spring, according to tho figures of
the bonded warehouse, but large quantities
came here on commission. There appears to be a.
limit even to cxtrnvagance, und it is to be hoped "
It has been reached this season. The question
arises, to what extent will our imports be arrested ?
it Is not supposulile that snv very large amount of
those nbw here will be sent buck, but the merchants
who deal in foreign goods will prefer working off
what Is already here to ordering fresh supplies. It
will lie curious to watch this new iniiueuee upon the
course of loreign exchange. Prime bankers' ster
ling to-day was worth low. (n 109,' for sixty day and

"The gold market was unusually steady, tho ex
treme range recorded In the gold room being from
l:'.7to 137,. One sma 1! sale took place at 187v.
The market was without animation and operators
seemed disposed to await the developments of the
next few days. The clitii manipulations also ap
peared to have ceased, und the quotations of to-day
were the result of small and comparatively insignifi
cant orders. The record of the operations of the
Gold Exchange Rank shows that the purchases of
Monday constituted the sales of yesterday. The.
transactions of the second day were a little larger.
When the cliques unloaded their strategy wai more
discernible than when they bought ; hence they in
duced large sales by outsiders, although previously
they had the purchases almost to themselves. "
LEGAL IMTELUGUCIi.
Court ot Ounrter !Kenlon Judge Ludlow.
John Kcenan, a tavern keeper at Uerinautovn,was;
tried upon the charge of the larceny of forty-live
dollars from Michael Olancev. The witnesses lor
the prdsccutlon testified that on tho 11th of last
month Glancey, with a friend, went to Keenan's
tavern 10 iuko a urink. and, being Intoxicated, ho
gave Keenan his purse, containing a largo sum of
money, out of which to take his pay; and he, re
turning two or three dollars, kept the balance.
On the part of the defense evidence was produced
to prove that the proper change was given to the
prosecutor, ana no went awav drunk, and must nave
lost his money some where else; that the prosecutor
had made inconsistent statements of the matter at
different times; und, lastly, proved the defendant's
good character to show that he was sot tho kind of
person who would do such a thing as this. Jury out.
Churles Smith was convicted of stealing a lot of
clothlhg valued at .16, This man was convicted a
few days since of entering the Red Lion Hotel, and
was then senteaced to the County Prison for fifteen
months, and to-day he got him nine mouths more,
making his term of imprisonment two years.
Another of this name, called Charles Smith the
Second, pleaded guilty to a charge of the larceny of
a pair of gaiters, which he was seen to steal from a
shop ut Sixth and CsllowhiU streets.
James Smith, colorel, pleuded guilty tj a charge
of steullng a silver watch. He was employed by
another colored man, and was taken to his honso at
night to sleep, and when ho saw an opportunity he
slipped off with his employer's watch.
John Guy pleaded guilty to a charge of the lar
ceny of a saddle and bridle which ho stole from a
gentleman with whom he was living at service at
No. 710 Walnut street. The saddle was recovered
in Seventh street, below Spruce, where be had
sold it.
Richard Miller, a young druggist, pleaded guilty
to a charge of larceny. He was employed by au
apothecary named Yogelbach, who, of late, sus
pected him of a series of larcenies. In order to de
tect him, if he reully wus stealing, ho marked seve
ral pieces of money and placed them in a desk,
shortly afterwards it was learned that the prisoner
had been spending money freely in tho neighbor
hood, and one of the marked notes was recovered
from a gentleman to whom the prisoner had paid it.
At the Instance of Mr. Vogelbach, an otllcor went
to the store and arrested Miller, and then he acknow
ledged his guilt, restoring part of the stolen money.
(ieorgo Crawford pleaded guilty to the charge of
the larceny of a pair of boots.
