THE EMIGRATION TIDE.

Slight Decrease This Year I'm the
Number of Arrivals at Castle Garden
Last Months Imm ig rants and Their
Dcstination-stil1 They Come from
Erin and the Fatheriand.
1t has been thought by many that there has been
great decrease in the number of emigrants arrv-
ing at this port this year; but the emigration
statistics, supplied at Castle Garden, show that
the difference between this year and the corre-
spending months OF last year is so small scarcely
to be worth consideration. Immigration still goes
on with restless constancy, ana though there have
been many causes conspiring to check it at it's two
great centres-lreiand and Germany-still the
thousands are nocking to our port from these two
countries much in the same numbers as for years
past they have been. There has, however, been
some slight decrease in the emigration during the
seven months gone by of this year, as Will appear
from the statistics given below.
For the month OF July alone the total number OF
% 654 passengers arrived at Castle Garden, and OF
these % 100 were carried by steamer and 494 by
sailing vessels. For the corresponding month I'm
1872 the total number OF passengers arrived 6y
steamer was 25,997 and 1889 by sailing vessels,
being a total oil 27,iS6 and decrease from the
figures OF 1873 OF 14s
The following tables show the number OF vessels
arrived from each European port and the number
OF passengers carried by them during the months
OF July, 1873, and 1872 respectively !

DARING ASSAULT AND ROBBERY IN
BROOKLYN.

It transpired yesterday that early on last Sunday
morning, as Patrick Glmartin was closing his
liquor saloon at the corner Of State and Furman
streets, gang Of roughs who loaf about the South
ferry approached him and asked him to allow them
to enter and obtain drinks Gilmartin. seeing that
they were already under the influence OF liquor,
feared personal violence n he refused, and
thinking tnat they would leave after
drinking once, opened the door and the
party entered After drinking several
times the gang attacked Gilmartin, Knocked him
down, beat him severely, and robbed him OF $47s,
which he intended to expend In his business the
following day. They then ned leaving their victim
lying almost insensible on the floor and bleeding
profusely from his wounds. Gilmartin managed
10 crawl up stairs where he lived and was confined
TO his bed until yesterday. He knows several OF
the gang who robbed nm, but has not yet pre-
Ierred any complaint In court against them, ana
consequently No arrests aave peen made.

CHINA.
The Foreign Audience Question and
Etiquette Of COurt-An Opium War ON
Small Scale.


SHANGHAE, June 2s, 1878.
On the 10th inst. Information reached this place
that in the Pekin Gazette OF the 14tn OF June me-
mortal from the Tsung-li-yamen was published,
begging the Emperor to grant an audience to those
Ministers at Pekin who had brought letters from
their soveregns to the Emperor and at the foot
OF this notice or memorial there was the usual
formula stating that the prayer of the petitioners
was granted. private letter, which received
few days later, states that probably the 7th OF
July will be designated as the day OF the first
audience. That the right of audience is admitted
cannot now be doubted.
The TACT Is that the Chinese have come to the
conclusion that they cannot much longer resist
the concurrent demand OF the western Powers,
so they have seasoned their concession by court
formulas. complication Is also likely to arise.
1t Is said that the Japanese Minister, LOyoshima,
on account OF his superior rank, takes precedence
OF all the foreign ministers. And the question is
shall Japan have the FIRST audience2 Trivial as this
may appear it is question that is greatlyeXercis-
ing the foreign diplomats ut Pekin.
A LITTLE WAR FOR OPIUM.
From Chinkiang have received an account OF
an opium war on small scale, 1t seems that an

tax paid properly; but when the chest got across
the river it was seized by deputy olthe Futa,
and the men carrying 1t were arrested and taken
to the Li-kin ONCE in this city, In some way word
was brought of the seizure, and the Cantonese
went en- 0aasse to the. Lkin Onlce and completely
gutted it, breaking the furniture and smashing
all the windows, besides giving the deputy
severe pounding The opium was sent to
the Taotai who at hrst undertook to sustain the
seizure, but when he saw the feeling OF the peo-
pie he sent 1t back to the tax-offlce and ordered
out some of the outside troops protect the place.
the Chinese merchants had meeting and decided
to do nothing in the way OF paying taxes ut the
L-kin ONCE until this case was settled. The Tu-
tung Commander OF the Manchu troops), hearing
OIL the maEer, Is said TO have told the IaOtai that
it was not the thing to order out troops to guard
Lkin officers, and especially without consulting
him, so there seems to be divisions ia the Celestial
councils The present TaOtai has become unpopu-
lar by his disregard OF his own people and his OBJ
structiveness in everything that concerns Tor

CONCESSIONS
before they will lay down their arms
First-A return to the old han, restoring to the
Daimios their lands and incomes.
SecOnd-That the officers OF the district shall be
appointed from among the inhabitants OF the dis
trict not from q distant ken.
TIttrd-That the incomes and all property Of the
Sam0urai shall he returned.
FoWut-That the taxes shall be reduced by one
half for the space oil three years
FUtIs-Ihat the government shall cease cutting
down the trees In the surrounding districts.
Strth-A return to the old Japanese calendar.
1t will De seen that these demands are serious
and some OF them impractcable; but 1t appears to
me that the second grievance complained OF is
legitimate one. II is rather hard that raw youth
from Toxic or some other city should be sent out
to govern district the local requirements OF
which he is necessarily entirely ignorant or Men
couiu pe iVuna IN each district fully capable of
governing It; but doubt whether the Japanese
central government will ever copcede this The
complaint about the taxes is also reasonable The
people are ."neu aearsuy.. In Matsmai, Ior in
cent OF the FISH caught Such unreasonabie
taxation as this Will cause riot and rebel
lion anywhere. The ruthless destruction OF timber
by the government Is also serious source of com.
plant. Trees have been cut down, even in the
neighborhood OF Yokohama and Jeddo without
any apparent cause, the cut trees obstructing the
r0adways and the land from which they have been
cut otherwise untouched. In some places beauti.
ful parks and groves OF trees have been destroyed
these things are done by order Of the government,
much to the dissatisfaction OF the people, who are
not In the secrets Of the government.
AS to the other demands-tnc restoration OF the
Daimios and Samourai and the return TO the old
calendar-these, I imagine, are impracticable,
although the Japanese are so fond OF changing and
changing back that nothing is Impossible.
THE AGITATION EXTENDING.
Still another rebellion Is reported from Torigoye
