Rev. G. SMARIUs's LEcrURE ON "SpIRIr-
IsM."-Rev. @. Smarius's second lecture on
"Spiritism," last evening, at Smith & Nix
on's, was moro largely attended than his first,
though as an intellectual effort it was inferior
pits predecessor. The lecturer embraced few
new arguments, opinions or theories, conaning
himself to the illustration of his theme, or
rather TO the amusement Of others by drol
groupings Of language.
Mr.. smarius said Pantheism was ve.y old,
and that "Spiritism" was merely form for
that philosophy for all Pantheists sympa-
thized to certain degree with "Spiritism," as
he showed by reference to various authors,
Parcelsus and others. Theinconsistencies and
absurdities, as they were called, of Esprit
ism" were pointed out in ahumorous way that
made his hearers laugh frequently. NJ n
The reverend gentleman seemed to think
Orthodoxy more rational than Pantheism--an
idea that would be difficult to establish in many
minds. His lecture had too much of ad cop :
tandum style, and in his desire to be funny he
was often undignifed and weak.

HEAVY RoBBERY--AN AGGRAVATED CASE OF
INaRATIrUDE.-Ay young man pamed J. G. G..
Lee, who is q clerk in Shillito's dry-goods
store, yesterday left informations at one the
Police Stations, to the effect that he had been
robbed of clothing, jewelry, &C., to the amount
Of $4OO, under the following circumstances.
Some time ago he became acquainted with o
man Of genteel exterior, named Frank s. Taft,
who represented himself as having been con-
nected with the New York and Erie Railroad,
but had been, for some time, unemployed, and
after stating the case, appealed to Mr.. LIS
generosity in such q manner that he was in
duced to assist as much as lay in his power.
Yesterday Taft saw him at the store and re-
quested the loan of shirt. Mr.. Lee gave the
fellow the key to his trunk, and q note to his
landlady, and told him to go to his roomat No.
4221 George e-street, and change his linen.
He started of, but having obtained access, to
the trunk he absolutely emptisd it, and car
ried tho contents away With him. Among the
jewery was diamond breast-pin which Mr..
L. AYERS cost him $3.50, and this, in connec-
ton with the clothing which was stolen, will
increase the whole amount of the loss to the
sum we have named above. One might bear
such loss were it not coupled with ipgrati-
tude, which seems to be the case In this in
stance, and thus we hope this double crime
may not 60 unpunished.

ANOTHER REQUIsITION FOR THE DEspERADo
KENNEDY.--A couple of mon named. Walter
I. Ripp and Joseph F. Battenshall, of the
Troy, N. Y, Detective Police, arrived in this
Sity yesterday, with requisition for George
Kennedy, the burglar, who, it will be remem i.
bered, shot q man short time ago on Clinton
street. 1t appears that on the I'd day Of Sep.
tember last Kennedy and an accomplice
Or two entered the house Of Chauncey Vibbard,
at Schenectady, and stole therefrom about
VI 800 worth of jewelry, which belonged to
man named William Kidd, of Rochester, N.
+, who happened to be on visit to his
friend.
The Troy detectives have been on track of
the scoundrels ever since that time, and they
found one Of them in the person Of Kennedy.
They were informed by Governor Chase that
he would not be allowed to depart until he
had paid the penalty upon the charges of
burglary and one of shooting with intent TO
kill, and that then there was q requisition
from Kentucky which must also be satisfied.
Under these circumstances il is quite likely
that when this fellow has been punished as
he deserves in the West there will be very
little Of his life left to spend in the peniten-
tiaries.
The detectives have recovered almost all Of
the jewelry which was stolen from the house Of
Mr.. Vibbard, and thus their journey to the West
has not been entirely profitless. What other
developments may be made it is hard to tell,
but 1t Is quite likely there are further records
Of villainy against the prisoner of Mr.. Shock

DEATH AT THE City Prison FROM EXPOSURE:
OEE OF THE BEAUTIES OF OUR Prison MANAGE
MENT,-Althoughit has long been we'll. known
that our City Prison is the worst possible in
stitution Of the kind, those having the mat
ter In charge have taken no note Of it whatever,
and their lack Of attention has now become,
apparently, at least, almost criminal.
day or two ago we noticed the fact that
an inmate Of this pestiferous institution had
been almost frozen to death, and would have
died had not some Of the inmates placed him
near the stove. An evening contemporary,
which is never more than half.informed upon
any subject, denied this statement; but in its
next issue recorded his death from exposure,
In half o column of its usual miserable En-
glish, without one word of excuse for the man
ner 10 which they had treated our relation Of
the fact.
Yesterday morning Coroner Carey was
called upon to hold an inquest upon the body
Of Gideon Wehlmann, who died at the City
Prison for want Of proper attention on,the
part of that department Of the City Govern
ment who have this place under their special
care. We mako this statement from evidence
edduced before the Coroper's jury, to the effeot
that he had been compelled to sleep upon the
brick pavement, not only without mattrass,
but actually without sufficient quantity Of
clothing to cover his nakedness. We have no
appeal to make to our readers in regard to
this matter. An inoffensive old man, whose
only sin was his poverty, so far, at least, as We
oau judge, has been permitted to die at one Of
tho public institutions Of city which pretends
to be Christian, and that, too, in the middle of
the nineteenth century; and if this fact does
not suggest the manner in which they should
act in the premises, no paragraph which We
would be likely to write could secure that end

A WIFE DECEIVED BY COUNTRY COUSIN
The wife of steamboat mate applied to o
downtown Magistrate, yesterday, for warrant
to arrest her husband, who had run off with
another woman; but as it appeared that he
had gone away two weeks before, and had
written to his deserted spouse from Madison,
Wisconsin, informing her that he would never
return to her, tho Justice advised her to give
up any attempt to redress her wrongs legally.
The wife said that her faithless consort had
taken woman, whom he called his country
cousin, to his home, to remain for brief time,
but after the third day their conduct was so
peculiar that she grew jealous, and suspected
the truth Of the relation, without, however,
expressing her opinion to her liege-lord. " :
A day or two more having forced Mrs. -
to believe her surmises, she and her connu.
bal partner qusrreled, and had little to say to
each other until the morning preceding the
hight whom hs told her he was on the point of
sending his cousin home. -, Z.
The "cousins" went of the next morning,
and have not since been seen, the wife having
since learned that the frail creature with whom
her husband had eloped had been his mistress
for number months previous TO the time she
made her appearance In the domestic scene,
forever olouded by the unexpected exodus Of
the seventh oomnan dmsnt. violating twain.

PoLIoE CouRr.-Thiry.one cases were ex-
amined before Judge Lowe yesterday morn
ing, but the time they consumed, although
short, was quite equal to their interest.
A fellow named Xavier Highberger was
charged with picking the pockets of somno-
lent individual, named Alaysius Strack, while
he was imprisoned in the arms of the sleepy
god at beer-house some place north of the
Rhine. Judge Lowe sentenced him to pay a
| fine Of $40 and costs, and make restitution in
double the amount. . g...st,.4
Stephen Weightman and John Ross, two
belligerent individuals, who are careless Of
their reputation, visited house on Bremen
street, whose inmates are remarkable for the
elasticity of their chastity, and upon being 70
fused admittanoe they barst open the door,
broke one Of the windows and behaved them
selves in an outrageous manner generally. They
were arrested and lodged in the Station house,
when knife was found upon the former and
formidable slung-shot upon the latter.
Stephen was fined 500 and John $40 and
costs.
Robert Quinn, the fellow who, after stealing
mat and several tassels from the store re-
Gently occupied by Henry Falls, made an Of

MEETING OF THE CINCINNATI PREsBYTERY OF
THE OLD SCHOOL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
The Cincinnati Presbytery Of the Old
School Presbyterian Church has been in ses-
sion for several days past, at the Central
Church, on Mouud-street, near Seventh.
They have passed, after considerable debate,
q very long preamble and several resolutions,
for which we could not find space in our COL
umns.
The principle action it took, however, apart
from what relates directly to she sect itself,
was against the Christian Union and Bust
ness Mems Pray-meetings, and although it
acknowledged certain kind of union among
all Christians, it affirmed that the Presbyte-
rian Church was the most orthodox on the
earth, and that any change would not be
for the better. -i ~
Its sessions were quite well attended, and
they closed yesterday afternoon. They were
evidently beneficial and the members parted
as If they had received new spiritual life and
strength for their Interchange Of opinions.

MIDNIGHT MARCH OF THE soss OF MALI

MIDNIGHT MARCH OF THE SoNs OF MALTA
This strange but benevolent body, whose good
deeds shine brightly in this naughty world,
aa Portia would say, met last night at their
hall to celebrate tho rnartyrdom of ST. Alan
thus. After the ceremonies, they formed IN
procession and marched through the principal
streets Of the city, clad in long white gowns,
with black cowls and masks, in honor Of the
entry Of st. Alanthus into the vail of mystic
ries. ;r " -
. The procession was quite large, and, as they
paraded through the dimly lighted streets
with measured tread, keeping time TO solemn
music, the effect was grand, while their dress
gave them an air which was almost awe-in-
spring, and they seemed less like peripatetic
ghosts than men Of flesh and blood.

HrcHwAY RoBBERY.-A man named George
O. Freeman, on his way to market in this city,
very early yesterday morning, was stopped
by three or four persons whom he met on the
turnpike short distance from Cumminsville,
and robbed..of all the money he had, amounting
to nearly twenty-five dollars, besides num-
Der Of pairs Of chickens and several turkeys
which were in the wagon. Mr.. F., of course,
resisted the scoundrels to the best of his abil-
ity, but he was alone in the scufae, and re-
ceived two or three very severe blows which
rendered him quite inssnsible. During the
time he lay unconscious he was robbed, and
before he recovered his assailants had effected
an escape. Such high-handed outrages upon
the public highway are becoming much too
common, and II one or two of these robbers
were shot dead in the act, il would doubtless
prove sslutsry lesson to those left behind.
