tinder the management ot Mr. T. It. I'ngh was, In ao

in them the public, trie lecturer, ami the manager.
The thousands of citizens of Philadelphia who so
Tieartilr enjoyed these rellned and intellectual en
tertainments will be pra'tfied at the elaborate pro
gramme perfected for the present Beaton by Mr.
Pngh. Th; list of lecturers and readers which he
announces embraces the names of the most eminent,
of the day, and an Inspection of the list will ihow
that special pains have been taken to secure as
much variety as cou d be desired, and wish the sup
plementary and scientific lecturers, la addi
tion to the regular course, onr citizens
may congratulate themselves on tho prospect that
the "f tar" course of the present season will su'pass
that of Usr.
The entire series announced liy Mr. P'iRh will
consist of thirty lectures, which will be divided Into
two series of ten ea",h, with a scientific series of liv
and 1jV6 supplementary lectures. The first series
will commence on Monday evening, October 17,
when Miss Anna E. Dickinson will deliver her new
lecture on "Joan of Arc." The second series will be
given in February ; the supplementary serie3 In De

epcrlnn readings: Mrs. Lauder of MitUum mer Sight' h
Itrram, and Miss Glyn of the tragedy of Slnebth.
For a variety of reasons, among which ts the difll-
uity of obtaining the Academy or Music foraperlod
of weeks, it has boon determined to give throe lec
ture a week, and the sale of reserved season tickets
for the first series will commence on Monday next
at 9 o'clock A. M., at (Inuld A- Fischer's music, store,
No. 023 Chestnut street, and will continue for two
days, after which no more reserved seats for the
season will be sojd. As the price for a reserved sent
tor a seiies of ten lectures is lixed at the very s;nill
figure or five dollar, there are few neraons who
propose to attend the "Star" course who will not
prefer to buy a season ticket. Family parties of f,v t
or three or more who desire to sit together will And
it both pleasant and convenient to purchase season
tickets, and those who propose doing so should
apply for them as early as possible, as there Is every
probability that they will be greatly in demand, and
hard to obtain for the best parts of the house before
the Rale closes on Tuesday.
The lecturers and their sunjects for the first series
are as follows: On OdobcrlT, Miss Anna K Dlckin

SED LYONS.
Ills Arrewt in New York Ktnte.
Detective Franklin returned to the city this morn-
Ing from Warsaw, Wyoming county, New Vork,
where he lodged a detainer against Ned Lyons, alius
Landman, the Navy Yard burglar. The otllcer gives
some interesting facts concerning tho capture of
this noted character. As stated In Tub Temcokai-h
of yesterday Lyons was taken Into custody upon tho
charge of attempting to break into Smith's Bank, at
Perry, Wyoming county, on September 9. Detec
tive Franklin states that two well-known burglars
of this city, Jim Hope and Hughes, were ar
rested at the same time. This robbery was evi
dently planned prior to the Navy Yard attempt, for
on the escape ot Lyons on straw ball, he at once
joined his Phi adciphia companions aud started for
New Vork. His escape took place In the latter part
of August, and tne attempted robbery In Perry oc
curred only a short time after his departure from
onr city. Jt seems that the burglars eil'eeted
5i n entrance into the above-mentioned bank and
were about operating on one of the safes when they
were alarmed by the presence of several of the
members of the Vigiiauce Committee formed in that
place.
They left the institution in quick order, and ran in
diil'ereut directions, pursued by thecitl.ens of the
town. The railroad depots were guarded, and every
precaution was taken to prevent their flight front
the place. Lyons was the first one captured. He
was approached by one of the Vigilance Committee
and ordered to surrender, but he refused and showed
fight. The former drew nis revolver, and Lyons did
likewise. Three shots were exchanged, but none
took etrect. Several citizens coming to the assist
ance of the committeeman, the burglar surrendered,
and was conveyed to Warren jail. His "pals" were
subsequently arrested. Mr. Frauklin states that the
evidence against the prisoners is overwhelming, and
it is doubtful whether they will escape with less tUau
live years' imprisonment each.
The footprints of a horse were discovered in the
immediate vlein'.ty or the bank, and these werd
traced some tulles distant, where the animal, with
wagon a'tached, was found. In the vehicle tliecom
mittee recovered a number of burglar's tools. The
horse was lame in one foot, and an eil'ort was then
made to find out from whom it had been hired. Six
miles distant from the place of concealment a livery
stable keeper was foand, who identified the animal
as his property, and also r cognized Lyons anil his
two companions as the individuals who had hired the
team of lum.
In the possession of Lyons was recovered a me
morandum, which led to the search of a room iu a
hotel in liochester city. Here tue otllcers disco
vered a carpet-bag containing a fall aud complete set
of burglar's Implements.
District Attorney Form an. of Warsaw, purposes
trying the prisoners first on the charge of aempl"d
robbery, in case of a failure to convict, Lyons will
then be arraigned upon the charge of assault, with
intent to kill, if this should tail, the reqaiBiUon
from the Governor of Pennsylvania, now lodged as
a detainer, will be produced, aud on this he will be
brought to this city.
Tub Police Warrants. City Controller 11 in
cock this morning signed all the police warrants,
with the exception of forty odd which he still boldj
under consideration. On Wednesday he Bent a
communicatloa to Mayor Fox, in which he stated
that he had numerous complaints against certain of
the policemen who had been employed as can
vassers by the Democracy in the time they Hhould
have devoted to the city, and yet these meu were
credited with full pay Ml the rolls. Among these
were Dougherty and McCullough, of the Fourth dis
trict, who were proven before I'. S. CorumibHiouer
Diddle to have been engaged in vouching for regis
tration frauds. Ttvo others of the Sixteenth dis
trict have, it is alleged, been engaged in the natu
ralization busiueis for two weeks, during which
time they had not beeu on police duty. The names
or the policemen were furnished the Mayor, who, in
a letter sent yesterday, informed the Controller that
he had the same vouchers in the above cases as lie
had In the cases to which no objection hail been
made. The Controller will not sigu these warrants
until the Mayor has instituted a lull investigation
mid furnishes the testimony w hich will satisfy Mr.
Hancock that these men are entitled to full pay.

"Washington, Oct. 7. Announcement is
ttiude by Joseph II. P.lackfan, Superintendent
of the foreign mails, by order of the Postmaster
Genera, that a postal convention has been con
cluded between the United States and the
Colonial Government of New Zealand, establish
ing an exchange of correspondence between the
two countries by means of the direct lino of
colonial mail packets plying between Saa Fran
cisco and New Zealand, ns well as by such other
means of direct mail steamship transportation
as shall hereafter be established, with the ap
proval of the respective post oflico depart
ments of the two countries.
This convention w ill bo carried into operation
on the 1st of December, 18T0, and establishes an
international letter postage of 12 cents (D
pence) per each tingle rate of half an ounce or
fraction thereof, the prepayment of which is
compulsorj', and the letters 60 prepaid in one
country are to be delivctcd free of all charges
whatsoever in the other. Letters posted un
paid or prepaid on any amount less than on
full single rate of postage cannot be forwarded.
But insuflicicntly raid letters on which a single
rate or more has been prepaid will be forwarded
charged with the deficient postage for collection
on delivery.
Each country is to collect its own postage only
on printed matter of all kinds, whether sent
or received at the following rates, viz.:
The United States postage on newspapers is
fixed at two cents each; on all other articles of
printed matter four cents per each weight of
four ounces, or fraction thereof, whether sent
or received. The New Zealand postage on
newspapers and other articles of printed matter
sent to or received from the United States Is
the same as charged for domestic postage by
the laws and regulations of that col any.
Provision is made for the transit through the
United Stales, as well as the conveyance by the
United Stales mail packets, of the correspon
dence. in closrd mails, which the New Zealand
Tost Ofllce may desire to transmit, via the
United States, to British Columbia, the British
North American Provinces, tho West Indies,
Mexico, Central America, and South America;
and Jt Is also provided- that prepaid
letters from foreign countries received in
and forwarded from the United States
to New Zealand shall be delivered
in said colony, free of all charges whatsoever,
and that letters received in New Zealand from
the i United Stales, addressed to New South
Wales or Australia, will bo forwarded to their
destination subject to the same conditions as
are applicable to correspondence originating in
New Zealand, and addressed to those colonics
New York, Boston, aud San Francisco are the
oilices of exchange on the side of the United
States for all mails forwarded to or received
from New Zealand under the provisions of this
convention.
The mail packets of the Colonial Line, plying
between San Francisco and New Zealand, make
their departures regularly from San Francisco
on the 10th of each month. In addition to this
connection, it may be remarked that the esta
blishment of a direct line of steamers between
San Francisco and New Zealand brings Great
Britain nearer to Australia and her other colo
nies of Oceanica than by way of the Suez Canal,
and therefore the British Post Office avails Itself
of these advantages to forward its closed miils
from and to those colonies by wiry of the United
States.

at Ul 'j, and subsequently advanc ng to al , wniuh it
within a quarter par cent, of th ) highest quotation ever
insde on the other side of the At lantio. T je rise abroad
is due to the uiore widespread intelligence of the Trea
sury operations, as exhibited in the reduction ot' the
national auut, tuo luivniii'ii ui iuo vauveiumrjiiv
to redeem in cold the loan falling due January
1, 1H71. and the intended purchase of at lean'.,
eight millions of bonds the current month. Taken with
these tacts is tne present pieiuoriu coniiuuu or rue
Trnikitrv. which now owns about i37.H)u.tiiu in gold and
nearly ir'iU 000. COU in currency. Tho effect of the advance
in live twenties in London was to weaken gold to 112 .,
from whii h noint tho market eventually reucbed to 11. ho
on the defest of the 1'rusnians in the litest eiw,cr-
merit near 1'aris. ine leering is growing in inn ojiu
Kooin toat the Prussian arms will for tuo future lind the
struggle with Trance no eay one, and hence there is
some disposition to discount ine prouaoia inuaence
in t ha Herman financial markets of a less victorious, if
not a disastrous, future for the Prussian armies iu prose
cuting tne war. While the itngiish money market ra-main-so
easy, however, it is certain to exaibit the Brut
etlects of any depreciation in American securities in
Germany and receive the first instalments ot binds
which, in tra process of realization, mi; be sent
from Berlin and r'rankfort auming, maaatim '.
that In such a revral of the fru i.iu career onr
bends io the (ieimau in.mey nifliots will undergo
depreciati n. Tho hist few wek of the war in
Kurope distributed our bonds into strong bands, snd it is
extremely doubtful wholher. in case of a cb luce to dele te
in the future of Pruosi&a military operations, tue re would
be more limn a ali''t temporary declino. It is trus.of
nn. lint tlm uliandonment ot the blockade of the tier-
man ports by the French navy would permit Frankfort to
realie upon oir ounos ny h)'iiuuk luuiu to ijoumhu mu
K.. Vnrlr lint the main aruument is still airainU tbs pro
bability of sacu a movement. The dirlerent mattets thus
prssented forthe digestion of the Cold Komi ausrd
dull and strong maiket al the close, the temntntion to
sell for a decline in response to the advance in live twen
ties being checked by the really more important aspect of
the war situation as regards tne ability ot l-'rance not only
to maintain the dofcusive, but possibly to assume the
offensive, the testimony using concu' rent tost i-aris now
lu.niainaii; O.otuiiien. ho are s'eadily improving in drill
and discipline, and v.lio may at no distant day change the
tirge of Paris to a pursuit of tue Prussians. It was
the contemplation of s icb contingencies tbv caussd the
upwsid movement in the t-old Koom this afternoon, not
that tnch a cause is at. all logical; for the greater the en
heiiaaoment of Kurope the greater will be our gain; but
Wull icirnnr Uasfullen iulo the other way of thinking, a n't
is disused to accept the Prussian reverses as the sign il
tor higher gold. The short in'e-est in the market is
still large, s shown I y the continued high rates for
the use of cash gold in making deliveries from -day to
dy."
