SPIRITUALIsM-CORAL l.. V. SCoTT.-There
was a crowd at Seaton Hall last night to hear
and see the somewhat noted Cora l.. v Scott
Estrance speaker better known, perhaps as
Mrs Cora l. V. Hatch. The platform was oc
cupied by Cora, and by tall gentleman with
n heavy beard.
Mrs Scott, slight and graceful of figure with
falling from a finely formed head, far down
over her shoulders, sat impassively behind a
stand. Child-like in appearance, and with that
ar OF delIcacy and refinement associated with
such features, complexion, and color of eyes
and hair-clad, too, in a prm modest dress of
gray, trimmed with black, and fitting close up
IN the thrnat-she looked the impersonation of
innocence and purity. Gazing at her, it was
Hcult to believe that il was her name that
was so banded about, lately, in the New York
divorce courts.
She commenced with an invocation to the
Almighty, marked by felicity of phrase and
purity OF enunciation, but which, like the
prayers of some other preachers, contained an
amount OF descriptive matter hardly needed
for the instruction of the Omniscient Mind.
The address that followed reminded one in
its graceful, wordy fiuency, of John Ii. Cough,
but nothing specially new upon her topic was
brought out, if we may except her statement
that Napoleon the first dictates to Napoleon
the second what shall be the destinies of France
and that the spirit of Prince Albert is busted
with endeavors to keep the peace between
capabilities of the speaker was obtained when
upon the close of her address she invited ques-
tOns upon spiritualism. number were made
by the audience, and answered by her with
such crisp point as to show that her powers
were something above the mere fiuency of
recitation. The visible eomplacency shown
by her at times in the discontinue of a too
confident questioner, initiated sadly against
the idea of spiritual agency, and there was
nothing whatever in her performances to indi-
cate her a seer or anything more than physi-
cally gifted, fluent, quck-witted woman-a
John H. Cough in pettlcoats, in short.
ROBBERY OF THE TUNIs EMBAssApoR-
When the Tunis Embassy were st the Conti-
mental Hotel, in Philadelphia, some expert thief
managed 10 enter one of the rooms of the En-
bassador, and stole a bag containing large
amount of foreign coins collected by the En-
bassad0r on his way to this country and while
here The coins were gold, silver and copper,
but the thieves threw the coPpers into the
street, and they Were picked up by milkmen.
Subsequently, Mr. Phillip A VooThes, detec
OF 10 tod TOnis
Raymond Cabot, Spaniard, and il was in
proof that Cabot sold the coin piece after piece
He is held to await the arrival of the Chevalier
Antoine Cont, interpreter of the Embassy, who
has been telegraphed to go to Philadelphia to
Identify the coin, most of which have been
covered by the perseverance of Detective Voor-
hes.
The prisoner is the same who the readers of
the Star will remember was arrested by detec-
Gyes ClarYoe and McDevitt, at the Metropolitan
Hotel, in this city, on the 5th of October last,
when those officers Were actively engaged in
preventing the most OF thieves then swarming
IN Washington from operating. Up to that
time Rosa and his partner, an English cracks
man, who went by the name of John Shaffer,
were almost unknown to the detectives in this
country. Clarvoe found them at the Metro.
politan, and by sudden entry of their room
captured both, with all their tools, consisting
of complete set of skeleton keys, best known
as screws" Rosa and his partler were taken
to police headquarters; but as Claryoe and
McDeYltt had nabbed them before they had
time 10 take trick, they were held for short
time and allowed to leave the city, their tools
being contiscated The arrest Of Rosa proves
the correctness of Clarvoe and McDeyitt's sus-
piciOns when they made that arrest.
THE MARINE CORPs.-At this time there are
about 2GO nom commissioned Off GERS and men
al the Barracks here, the quarters being very
much crowded, some of the men having to
make their beds on the floor. The rooms are
about large enough to accommodate 25 men
each, but in some there are as many as 40 quar-
tered. The present quarters, besides being out
of repair, (the roof leaking) are entirely made
hdA Tod
ago when the entire corps numbered less than
loo men, and it is TO be hoped that during the
next session of Congress some action will be
taken TO increase the accommodations for this
branch of the service.
Before the war a bounty of three months pay
was given to all men re-enlisting, but after
Congress passed the law giving bounties to
volunteers this bounty was stopped and has not
been resumed, although many have re-enlist-
ed. There is much talk among the men as to
the probabilities Of the three months bounty
being resumed, and in the meantime many
who would re-enlist when their terms are out
are leaving the Corps because there is no extra
inducement 10 re-enlist as formerly.
The The Corps; under its present commandant,
Colonel Zeilen, is probably the best equipped
and disciplined in the service.
