WENDELL Phillips we see is announced
to lecture at the Academy of Music on Tuesday
evening next, November 20, his subject being
'The Danger OF the Hour Phillips Is a man of
hobbies, as Is well known; and many OF his
hobbies are somewhat in advance OF the age.
Yet there is no more earnest and enthusiastic
foe of tyranny and injustice in the nation: and
as an orator. it is questionable If he has an
equal. However much people may differ from
the views which he entertains, he is sure to
obtain hearing from men of all parties. That
the Academy will be filled to overfowing on the
occasion of his first appearance in this city
during the present season, is a matter of GER
tainty. That all who are 50 fortunate as to secure
desirable seats at the lecture will be well repaid
for the expenditure OF time and money, admits
of as little doubt.

ing back OF No. LAG Richmond street. Some liX-

A BURGLARY. - Between the hours of
midnight and daylight this morning, the estab-
hshment OF Mrs Elizabeth Poole, who keeps q
millinery store at No. 1906 Market street, was
robbed. The thief or thieves passed through
alley, Jumped the fence into the yard at the
rear, and then effected an entrance into the
house through the back door, in regular pro-
fessional style. They bored out portion Of the
door, and removed the lock, and passed into the
front store. From thence they took quantity
of fine velvet silks, ribbons, etc., to the value
of $4,000. The inmates OF the house thought
they heard something in the lower story, but
supposing it 10 be a cat or rats, paid no atten-
ton TO it. No arrests have been made as yet
A DRUNKEN Row.-About midnigat last
night Charles Rice was arrested for commit
ting an assault and battery upon some citizens.
II appears that Rice had gone to a ball at
Eighth and Spring Garden streets and imblb-
ing OF the "ardent" too ardently, got into
state of fighting inebriety, and undertook to
raise disturbance generally and fight par
ticuarly. He was arrested however, whilst
indulglng his combatlve prOpensities, and taken
to the Station House TO spend a few hours in
pensive thought. This morning he was intro
duced in a very informal manner to Alderman
Massey, who, after hearing what he had doue,
held him in $500 bail to answer for it.
A DISHONEST MEssENGER.-Ther are
always sharpers and thieves of all grades who
are on the watch TO turn the good reputation of
others 10 their own advantage. Frank Cham
bers, who wore the badge of SOLDIERS mes
senger," was employed by couple of German
tailors to carry bundle of valuable clothing
to a certain place. Instead of doing so, the
pseudo messenger appropriated the clothing to
his own use, and was among the missing"
when he was sought for at his usual post He
was arrested at Penn and Lombard streets yes
| terday afternoon, and was taken before Alder
man Httermary. After hearing, he was com
mltted to answer the charge OF larceny.
| MURDERED BY CARELEssNEsS.-Ate terri
| BILE railroad accident, resulting in the death of
several persons and the wounding of a large
| number occurred yesterday, near Wesleyville,
| on the Buffalo and Erie Railroad. The cause of
| the accident was the murderous carelessness of
| gang of workmen who were repairing the
| road, and having removed some of the rails,
| neglected TO signal an approaching express
train, which ran into the gap at full speed.
| We shall never have done with these Jerrible
| and utterly needless accidents on railroads
until some of the guilty parties are severely
punished tor them.

William Stainwok, residing in Carlisle street.

pears that StainWok, who Is a pretty well.
behaved man when sober, is quite the opposite

Saturday night, he turned his wife and tamil,
