NEW YORK, Thursday March 6.
The movement in Congress for @ steam.
communication between this city and Galway,
ireland, will meet with high favor here. Ger
tain persons of some prominence have taken
much interest in the project, believing that the
opening Of speedy means Of communication
between New York and Ireland will obvate
much Of the troubles hitherto incident to ocean
travel. Whether it will retard or advance
emigration is equally important, but by all
means let us have the steamers.
The Common Council have appointed a
committee to select site for the u. s. Mint in
this city, in accordance with the provisions OF
the new bill introduced in Congress. The
bill provides that the site Of the establishment
must be selected by the corporation of New
York, and the title be secured to the U. S. CO.

stitution, we are willing to accept the condi-
tons imposed

monds and granted to set aside the judgment
rendered by his colleague, Judge Roosevelt;

The Give P onts Mission" has commended
itself to the attention of the community. Ii
has already accomplished much good in clear
ing that section of the city Of lage portion of
the refuse population which formerly concen-
tra,ed there. A movement is now on foot to
establish the enterprise upon frmer and more
useful footing.
The silk merchants of New York have taken
energetic measures TO meet the rapacious pre-
tensions Of the merchants of Philadelphia,
who have conspired with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company TO take no goods to the
West which are not purchased in the Quaker
City for the profit of its Merket-street jobbers.
A card, signed by the leading Broadway
houses, has been put forth, inviting anew the
custom Of Western dealers, with the guaran-
~ that they shall be in some way promptly
delivered.
Valuable cargoes of tea and silk have just
arrived at this poit from China; two vessels
having reported themselves from Shanghai,
and one from Canton.
The immigration during the month of Feb
ruary amounted to 5342 aliens. This is a de-
crease of nearly three thousand persons from
the corresponding period Of 1881.
The Annual Report of the Trustees OF the
Public School Society of this city shows that
the total number of children attending the
schools of the Society was nearly $4,000.
In the u. s. District Court, this morning,
the case of John l.. O'Svllivan and others, for
participation in the first expedition against the
island of Cuba. was taken up. The laws de-
lays have had this case in allegiance for more
than year, but it now bids fair 10 be pushed
TO an issue. The Government have enlisted
Mr.. Ogden Hoffman, the celebrated pIeader.

dants have engaged two OF the best lawyers of
the city, John Van Buren, and Francis B. Cut.
ting, to defend their case. The trial will be
one OF the most important that has occupied
the Courts for some time past.
The Dispensary Stations of the city are not
without interest, as exhibiting one phase of
the amount of the public charity bestowed an.
nuaily upon destitute emigranis and others
Upwards OF 1000 persons were treated gratu-
itously, and 1878 prescriptions were prepared
a. one of these institutions during the month OF
l,l33 were prescribed for al their homes, being
too unwell 10 make their way to the Dispen-
sary. This is only one out of the many insti-
tuiioLs whose support draws 30 heavily upon
the purse-sirings ofou tax-paying population.
Weather clear and cold.
Yours, NJ.
