SO many cunling pbjectiops faised to well nigh

along the city like an effete corpse. Many
new drinking saloons have been opened since

The efforts Of the police are confined almost ex-
clnsively to capturing reeiing bipeds who have
secreted too much of the contraband between
decks, of whom some thirty have "tasted the
sweets of corrected liberty" in the calaboose
within the last ten days-in most cases they
are too drunk to give straight testimony as to
where they procured their liquor and after
pouticins CALLED justice with "saw-buck' are
set at liberty again. The first jury trial in the
state came off at Poughkeepsie yesterday. The
defendant was 4 Dutchman, and his crime was
selling lager Bier. He aimed to prove it was
not intoxicating, and to this end small
Dutchman after being duly sworn testified thai
he had in twelve hours drank sixty glasses of
Lager Bier, and that the glasses were pint
glasses, and that he did experience no incon-

The steady march of improvement which
prostratcs everything before its gigantic
tread has worked a great change in the last
fortress of the old Knickerbockers Castle
Garden is now an emigrant hospital. Every
interior portion Of the old building is so thor
oughy metamorphosed that its most constant
frequenter of the last five years can find no
clue by which to recognise it, 1t awakens
feeling of real sadness to stroll through the
precincts of the pile known TO-. so many years
as hall Of pleasure and consecrated to the
Muse of Song, and see how it has now almost
entirely lost its identity and become another
link in the great chain Of benevolent iLsttu-
tons which the spirit of the age is forging.
All its glories it we may call its associations
with art by that name, are departed, and
henceforth it is to perform its part in the utili
tartan economy of the times. The arrange
ments fitting it for the new use which is to be
made OF it are most extensive and complete.
The utmost precaution is taken by the author
tiles to protect the poor emigrant from the nu-
merous sharks which beset him the moment that
he lands upon our shores
