CASTLE GARDEN ABUSES.

The Speeal Committee Of the Board Of Councilmen
appointed to investigate the ma"r Of the abuses Of
emicrants at Castle Garden held IN adjourned meet
inc vs,.erday afternoon IL the Council Chamber City
Hal.
Mr.. BESyETr. Lieutenant Of the Third Ward Police,
was first examined, and testified that some time ago
he was employed by the Commissioners OF Emigration
af Castle Garden II often happened that preference
wac given 10 ships arriving late in the day over others
that had arrived earlier. He said that on one Occa-
sion be was on board the ship VIM. II. Nelson on
duty. The emigrant Passenge on board were IN IN
yery destitute condition, and suffering from the
cold. They asked 20 ashore, but he refused
them, having orders to that effect. They asked for
som, thing to eat, and raised subscription 10 pur-
chase bread and cheese Witness sent on shore and
purchased the food they asked for. They again asked
10 90 on shore. The officer that relieved witness
failed to keep them board. That night witness WAS
retained in the Garden. child was taken SICK and
died the next morning. lnDecember last about eighty
vessels arrived within two days Heard passenger.
OIL the ship Nelson say they bound to leave, as
they had nothing to eat. The orders that | had to
keep passengers on board Of ships signed by the
President of the Commissioners Mr.. Nerplanck.
The treatment of emigran passengers arriving is, in
my opinion, anything but humane. Witness was at
one time coming up with another chip, when be found
among the emigrants, many sick infant children. He
purchased bread and milk with his own money, anG
distributed among those most In need. Thought the
landing Cf sick emigrants at quarantine was very
inhuman. Had seen persons who scarcely able
to walk, with a rope fastened about their waists,
lowered into boats like 80 many bags. Witness
thought that boats with coverings might be butt for
the accommodation of sick emgrants Had seen Com
missioners Kennedy and Kergan most at the Garden.
Witness, to question asked by the Chairman, stated
he had emigrants, both on board of ships AMI IN
the Garden, for twenty-four hours after they had
arrived while under the care Of the Commissioners
neglected and left destitute. After further ev-
dcnce, by Mr.. Bennett, the Committee adjourned
till next Tuesday, o'clock, p. IN.

DESTRUC Give FIRE IN GREENWICH STREET.
Yesterday morning, about II o'clock, a fire broke
ont in the fvestory brick building No. ls6 Green
wich street, occupied by Messrs. Bush a. Gale az a
WI oesale drug and chemical establishment. The fire.
originated on the first floor and caused by the
boiling over Of quantity of beeswaK which one Of
the clerks was melting up IN the stove. The wax IN
stantly United, and falling upon the ioor commune
Gated to a quantity of turpontine aud other nfam-
mGble articles close at hand. So rapid was the prog
RES of the flames that the clerks in the establish
mont had hardly time to escape. Several left Their
overcoats cloaks and hats behind, and the book
keeper who was standing at the desk, had not time
TO lock the safe, but rushed out leaving the doors
open He only succeeded in saving a few books that
ny before him on the desk The greater part OF the
books, yapers and accounts of the firm We're de-
s'royed.
From The first foor the flames rapidly assembled 10
the different stories and in short time the interior OF
tho building was one mass offre The fremen OF the
Seventh and Eighth Districts sbored with great en-
crgy but owing to the immense quantity OF combust-
bio matter the premises, their efforts to extlngush
the flames were Of little avail. The building with its
contents was antirely destroyed. The \firemen sue
ceedcd in couiAing the fire to No 1876, the adjoining
buildings sustaining no damage except from water.
Messrs Bush & Gale had just got III large STOCK
Of drugs and chemicals preparatory to the opening Of
the Spring trsde, and their loss will not probobly fall
far short of 100000 They are insureed 1850 in the
Brooklyn Insurance Company, $4,000 in the Mechan-
ice and Traders Insurance Company, $4,000 in the

President Of the North Missouri Railroad,
under date Of Nov. 21lh, written for the pur-
pose Of allaying Some sectional feeling along
the linc Of his road, in which he opens out the
ultimate design Of its managers, which is to
construct, in addition to the main line, a
branch northeasterly to Keokuk, and another
northwesterly TO Weston. OF the Keokuk
branch Mr.. Sturgeon says:
This Company feels great interest IN the
building Of road from some point on this
road to kcokuk. and will give such an enter
prise AL the encouragement in its power.
sfrom Mexico, in Andrain county, or Boar
bonton, in Boone county, it would only be
about eighty miles to kcokuk. Estimating
the cost Of the road at $50. 200 per mile, il
would cost only $2,400,ooo. The counties
on the line Of the road could easily raise 81 )

raised and expended, they would find no diff
