After attending mass in tho Chapel
of St. StnniulaMs Kotaka Cluireli, on JN’oblo
street, the delegates repaired to Bhcrman'H Hall,
near Bradley utreot, r.nd at t) o’clock were called
to order hy tho Rev. Father Theodore Gieryok.
An election of officers then took place, romilliug
tu the choice of llio Rev. Father Joseph Miwlol
ewicz us Chairman, John Bazwisky as Secretary,
and tho Rev. FiUl.'er Moilitor, of Chicago, as As
sistant Secretary.
Tho Chairman then addressed the delegates in
tho Polish lungiia/50. 110 said that the object of
the Convention wits to bring togathcr tho seve
ral Polish fleUlomculs in this country so that
they might take filops for their general welfare.
Tliolr number wai not inconsiderable,—probably
200,000 in all; io Chicago alone about 7,ooo,—and
it was lo bcregnTlcd that no concerted action
had heretofore been taken to elevate
their nationality into its logilinmto position
among tho peoples of thin great country. To
remedy such a urate of affairs tho Convention
was instituted, and ho trusted (hat it would not
fail of its object. Boles thus far had merged, or
rather been swallowed up or absorbed, by tho
more powerful nationalities,—tho Gormans and
Irish,—and they were regarded as nonontitiealin
a political souse. It should not bo so, for Boles
had a national history of which thoy
felt proud. A want of knowledge of tho En
glish language hud operated against them boro
very much. ■ There hud not boon any collegiate
establishments of any importance conducted
tmder a Polish-Englinh management lo meet tho
wont. Tli® chief purpose therefore of tho Con
vention will bo to cloviso means for tbo erection
of a college at a central point in (bo
United States, and to establish a
central Colonization Society. By those
agencies they might bopo to create in tho
munis of our young people a lovo aod venera
tion for Iho laml of' thoir forefathers, give thorn
a knowledge of tbojjreat land thoy dwelt in, ami
so elevate them intellectually and morally that
m duo time thoy would bo abloto take thoir
rightful position anting Iho other natimnditjoa.
Tho address was received with enthusiasm.
Committees on Credentials r.ud on Arrange
ments wero then appointed, sod tho Convention
adjourned until JJ o’clock. Tbo afternoon was
snout in tbo transaction of business of no gen
eral importance.

A LIVEX/ST SKIRMISH.
‘Ofiicor Maher, of tbo Madison Street Station,
hftd a dosperato and bloody struggle yesterday
afternoon, about 4 o'clock, with three young
radians. A clerk tn Curtin’ lumber-office, at
tbo comer of Canal and Fulton streets, ro
pciiotl to Maher that three young men had at
tortupted to rob hie employer’o money-drawer, and
rxvo a description of the parties. Shortly after
ward tho officer discovered John Haggerty, a
no! nrioue desperado, standing at the corner of
La’ioand Omni streets in company with tiro
otb or young raon. 110 took Haggerty In
cha rgo, on suspicion of being or.o of
the • three persona who had attempted
to rob Curtis’ till, and proceeded with
him to the lumber office to have the clerk idon
tif3’,hiro. The complainant was not in, and
Ma!her informed Haggerty that ho would arrest
hue»on general principles, as a vagrant.
Ji [o walked along with his prisoner as far as
Uiroo and Eagle streets, tbo two young
met i
who had boon with Haggerty
_* o lb owing behind, whoa tho latter called
on I ala companions to assist him in resisting the
am • Ht. Tho two young men ran up and attacked
tho officer and a light onimed. Owing
to tho cumhoraomo and useless bolt
wlik fli tho policemen oro compollod to
tvoa;;!, Jtaher was miahlo to draw Ids revolver,
and wan about to use bin club, when it was
HuaV rhed from him by Haggerty. Ono
of r. ho other rnfilans drew a small revolver and
UrcO I twice nt Mahnr,bnth shots piercing bin left
ham 1. and disabling him bo that tho struggle
with . Haggerty wan atilt more unequal. In tho
moa otimo an expressman, William J. Meukins,
ami a teamster, came to tho otllcor’a assist
ance w and Haggerty was secured and placed
in 2 ionldua’ wagon, biu lind no Booncr been
loro id down on bl« back, than ho reached be
hind Idm and drew i> revolver and shot ono of
Mon, kina’ thumbs off. lie aimed to Kill tho first,
man who stood in hie way, and It was no fault of
Ida t hat murder wan not added to hie long list of
crim Inal note. ....
Tb o other two villains, finding that further ro
eistn nee wart useless, ran off, and up to last sc
conn hi had not bon arrested.
Hi tfgcrtv woa taken to tho Madison Street

HJtu tppcaranco gives ovidonco of tho desperate
strui ;glo with Hhher, wlio held on to Idm in spite
of hi n wounds and several heavy blows dealt by

On oof tho bulloln was extracted from Mahnr’o

Tho following are luo moßtintoccstiug and im
portant passages of tho editorial in the London
Tiniv.'t of tho let mat., tbo polnla of which were
telegraphed, in reference to the Prince of Wales’
fiuaucial condition:
“It has been stated that tbo debts of tho
prince of Wales amount to on enormous sum—
one foreign journal places them at XGOO.OOO •,
that tho propriety of applying to Parliament for
tho moans to pay them was considered by tbo Into
Premier: tlmttbo project was abandoned through
o mistrust of tbo temper in winch it would bo
received; and that, Anally, her Majesty bad taken
upon herself to free tho Prince from his liabili
ties. Such ataloraento .in thoao being mode and
widely believed, It is well tboysbould bo definite
ly contradicted and tbo true position of tbo
Prince’s affairs mado known.
“ Tho income of tho Prince of Wales is de
rived from tho annual grant made under tho
authority of Parliament ami from tho revenues
of tho Duchy of Cornwall. These have hitherto
miAicod for iho maintenance of the Prince's es
tablishment, notwithstanding tho expenses
which ho lias incurred by having, from tbo time
ho came of ago. largely represented tbo sover
eignty of England. At tbo present time the
unpaid claims before hia Koyal Highness's
Comptroller amount ro llttJo move than a third
of tho X’rmco’s annual income, and, with tbo ex
ception of one or two accounts unsettled from
peculiar circumstances, thoro is at present. no
hill on tho list of more /.ban one year’s standing.
Tho payments aro periodically audited by Kir
William Auderson. They aro regulated by tho
balances in tho banker's hands, and tho balances
on this Ist of October will bo more than sufA
uiont to meet every claim on the Princo. This
being the case, ik need not bo said that tho ru
mors of serious debt and embarrassment havo
no substantial basis. They havo arisen from
misapprehension of tho real facts, and thoao it
mav bo aa well to state.”
After alluding to tho numerous expenses in
separable from tho Princo of Wales’,position,
the nrticlo continues:
«• 'j.'o moot all those calls, the Princo bos an in
come which, at tho time of its settlement, was
estimated at XIOd,OOO Hr year. Tho nearly-fixed
income of tho Princo of wales caunot enter into
competition with tho enormous wealth possessed
by t£io highest section of English society. Nor
is it, indeed, for a moment to bo desired that tho
provision assigned by Parliament for tho Prince’s
uminionauco in ft manner befitting bis position
rhould bo measured by anyoxtravagnut standard
of luxurious expenditure. Put, taking into ac
count tho inevitable outgoings of very largo in
comes when associated with high rank and re
sponsibility, wo are not surprised to loiirn that
tho Prince’s expenditure Ims exceeded his in
come. The excess, however, has been provid
ed from funds which legitimately belong
to the Princo of Wales, aud aro. in fact,
his private property. During his minority tho
revenues derived from tho Duchy of Cornwall,
carefully administered under tho supervision of
tho lato Prince Consort, wore allowed to accumu
late. Largo sums out of this fund were laid out
on tho purchase of a pleasant but not profitable
demesne, and on making those alterations and
improvements which arc commonly incidental to
the purchase of an estate. Nevertheless, there
iitili remains enough from tho Duchy of Corn
wall accumulations to cover tho yearly deficit of
tho Prince's establishment. Tho trustees sell
nut stock to the amount required to pay tho
claims on tho establishment, which is thus kept
clear of debt, except in respect of such recent
accounts as those wo have already mentioned.
From £’lo,ooo to £20,000 has boon annually re
quired for this put pose. Tho Pnnco has thus
hitherto relied on his own moans, aud though,
no doubt, it is a misfortune to bo living on
capital, still this is a very different stale of
things from that which tho popular rumors
represent.”
