FEAST OF DEDIcATIoN.-On Monday eve
ming commenced the two thousand and
thirty-fourth anniversary of the institution
among the Jews of the Feast Of Chanukah,
or the Feast of Dedication. Its meaning is
the re-dcdication of the Temple ut Jcrusa-
lem TO the service Of the God Of Israel, its
cleansing from Pagan impurities and sacri-
lege, and period Of joy at the deliverance
from oppression and persecution. The orr
gin and history of this festival is described
in the second book Of the Maccabees Zone
of the apocryphal books) and also by FlaviuS
Josephus. The observances are somewhat
in imitation of the festivities directed by
Judas Maccabeus, and described i'll the
second book of the Maccabees. In the
synagogues, as well as in the dwellings,
eight candlestcks, with candles, are placed
in position, and one candle is Lit on the first
day, two on the second, and SO on, till on the
eighth day all the eight candles have been
lighted. Bread, wine, and other offerings,
are not omitted, and hilarity and joyous
gatherings Of friends and kindred, prayers,
praises, and thanks, to God on every day
during the continuance Of the festival, are
general. AS the 18th day Of the month of
Kisiey corresponds this year with the Both
of November, and as the Jewish day begins
with the preceding evening, this feast of
joy opened ON Monday evening at sundown,
and closes on Tuesday, December 1th, also
at sunset.

SILK RoBBERY.-On Yesterday morning
Quinn, Logan. and Clark, were arraigned
before the Mayor, charged with being par
ticipators in the robbery of Messrs. Cardozo,
Alsop & Fourqurean. Michael Kelly and
julius Fillinger were sworn as witnesses.
Kelly knew nothing about it, couldn't
swear that he had ever seen the men, never
saw them have any silk, and could swear
positively to nothing about it.
Fillinger said Pres. Nuckols and Quinn
came to his house early in the morning With
silk to sell. He wouldn't buy, and they
went out. In short time Quinn and Logan
came to his house together to get five-dol-
lar note changed. At night Logan and
Clarke came, and told him they had 13C
yards to sell, and he declined to buy.
1t will be remembered that the thirteen
wards Of silk first offered TO Fillinger by
NuckolS and Quinn WAS identified, when
Nuckols was examined, as part Of that
stolen from Cardozo, AlSop & Fourqurean
The further examination of the parties
was postponed until this morning to sum
mon additional witnesses.

GRAND GERMAN OPERA.-We recur to the
rich treat in store for our city next week,
when the Grau German Opera Company,
one of the largest and most expensive or
ganzations in the United States, will give
short season of Grand German Opera in
this city. The appearance of this celebrated
troupe in this city is an event full of inter-
est to the large class of citizens who appre-
ciate the musical works OF the great COM
poserS when interpreted with precision
and brilliancy such as distinguish the exc
cution of the artists of this company. The
operas will be presented with all necessary
care and attention to scenery, costumes,
properties, &C., and we doubt not that
crowded audiences will nightly assemble
within our Theatre, and maintain the repu-
tation of our city. Notwithstanding The
very great expense attending the produc-
ton Of the operas, and the fact that there
is large chorus and orchestra with the
company, the management have wisely
adopted liberal scale of prices.
