NEw York, December lS.-Professor
Newberry, President Of the Lyceum, de-
liyered an address Before the members
last evening on the character and scien-
tific labor of the late Professor Agassiz.
The police Of the Twenty-ninth Pre-
cinct made a raid on FIVE policy shops

ing all implements found in the estab-
lishments.
Transactions on Wall street yesterday
were governed to a great extent by ru-
mors and reports from Washington.
The financial sdvices from Washington
and a strong bull" combination in the
Gold Room carried the sale of gold rap
idly up from llOl to llll. The transac-
tons fer speculative rise we're large
and spirited. There was great buoyancy
in stock exchange early in the day, and
a speculative run was made for West
ern Union and Lake Shore, and large
additional operations in Union Pacific
and other low priced Western roads.
Towards the close there was less spirit
evinced by buyers, and more disposition
to sell for realization at discount. 1t
is reported that some stockholders in
national banks are unwilling to surTen-
der one third Of their shares in the re-
duction of capital to two millions, and
there is talk of turning out the present
management at the New Year election,
and restoring the original protector Of
the concern, Henry A. Smythe, to the
direction. 1t is predicted that the fight
will result in liquidation Of the banks.
A Tribune special from Key West
says: The revenue cutter Colfax has ar
rived with Capt. J. NJ. Totter, the For
tune has arrived with Lieut.. Commander
Green, from Cedar Keys, and the steamer
Leveret has arrived with Lieut. ]. W.
Miller. All these officers are bearers Of
dispatches from the Navy Department
for Admiral Scott.
The steamship Greece, which ran
ashore Saturday, near Bedloes, 10 lower
New York bay, foated off yesterday
afternoon and arrived at her dock last
night She will be Immediately reloaded.
The vessel sustained no damage, and
will leave port the latter part of this
week.
Advices received by private firm
state that some Of the largest cotton
shipping firms in the South are making
arrangements to resume permanent
shipments Of cotton to New York for
export, and for that purpose are negoti-
ating with their former or other banking

The salary question has already taken
up considerable time in Congress. Last
Friday il was discussed ad nauseum in
the House, where a number Of fourth
class orators held forth in a manner
clearly indicating an anxiety to secure
the pay and at the same time get credit
for opposing the law. On the one hand
they want all they can get, but they
want somebody to force them to take it
so that they excite pity rather than
blame. The truth is that nearly every
member has drawn his extra allowance
under the back salary grab. They sub
mitted to two years back pay with very
faint resistance, just ss watery.

a drink at somebody else's expense
under protest Of course, but still
with certainty. The country would make
money BY paying some Of these patriots

FideIfa, the FlFe-Waif, and the APP
peal.
To the Editor of the Ledger;
The Appeal of this morning goes
for" Fidelia, the Fire-Waif, right lively,
and gives it an unmerciful turning
over" 1t says the author of the play
should try his hand on such another
piece and then follow the example of
Judas Iscariot." / am glad he didn't do
il before he wrote this one. Mr. Ever
EFT was occasionally funny, but last
night, in some of the scenes, he was de-
cidedly vulgar, and some Of his actions
must have brought a blush to many a
fair cheek" Now that's bad, if true;
but / saw the piece, and am known as an
exceedingly modest man, and saw moth
ing to blush at, and was never more
pleasantly entertained in my life. In all
seriousness, the criticism is unjust to
Mr.. Everett, and ! think the Appeal was
unconscious Of the censure cast upon
him. he is a gentleman, and could not,
if he would, be guilty of an indecent or
vulgar act on or of the stage. The
play was originally published in the Sat
urday Night, and dare say one-half the
reading population Of Memphis have
read it, including a large number Of our
most intelligent ladies. It is sensa-
tional, hut not smutty unlike many
OF the boosted Shakspearean plays. Al
though | was at the New Memphis last
night. / am going again tonight aud
take my lady. Mr.. Editor, know when
/ am pleased, and so do the people Of
Memphis. The management should ten
der a vote Of thanks to the Appeal, for
its criticism will help to gil the house to-
night. Little Nell as an actress is the
equal Of Lolita and the superior Of Mrs.
Oates, Katie Putnam, etc.
