Monday last was another red letter day
at Castle Garden, the emigrant arrivals ex-
ceeding four thousand, which is the heaviest
importation for any day this month. Super
Intendent jackson says the class Of emil
grants arriving Just now, as a general thing,
have sufficient means to supply their wants
until they can obtain work; many OF them
come with liberal supply of money and go
directly West, where they will purchase
farms. Germany, he thinks, viii show the
largest proportionste increase of any conti-
mental country this season. Thus far this
year, It Is gratifying to know there have
been few pauper arrivals, and the number
asking aid from the Commissioners Of Emf
grafton to-day is much smaller than at any
time heretofore.
That unknown but costly quantity Of
steel, iron. stone and brick, the Brooklyn
bridge, on which somewhere between $lS,
900, 900 aud SIS, OO0, 600 has already been ex-
pended, is now pronounced insecure by
General Newton. In report Just made to
the Chief Engineer of the United States
Army he says that its insecurity arises from
the insuficiency OF the original estimates
and from the disposition to accommodate
to the verge Of prudence the pressure of
the locomotive interest" The trustees are
asking an appropriation from the New York
Legislature OF 81, $50 900 more; but In view
OF the scientific doubts expressed as to its
character and that the Supreme Court of
the United States will give an opinion in
October on the point Of obstruction to the
navigation of the East river, and that this
decision may involve the removal of the
bridge, it is thought that the Legislature
will delay making any further appropriations
this session for the completion of the
structure.
The New York Herald is down on the en-
core. 1t says: "When man sells bushel
of potatoes over which the purchaser be-
comes enthusiastic does he feel called upon
to supply another bushel without extra
charges Not he. Why, then, should an
actor or singer be compelled to give double
measure of whatever he gives well? An
intelligent audience will applaud whatever
is particularly well done, but the applause
does not always mean that repetition is de-
manded. At some performances, how
ever, and notably at concerts, there appears
a class of people who, determined to get all
they can for their money, encore everybody
aud everything, and turn into eXacting
trickery q custom that once signihed honor
able regard for deserving artists. Well may
the singer OF experience pray TO be deliv-
cred from his friends, II every one whose
name appears on a programme with him is
to be dragged two or three times before the
curtain to 90 through the motions Of an art
of which they know nothing"
A war of races has been begun in New
York. The correspondent from that city of
the Philadelphia Ledger, writes under date
of the 9th inst: cat the Tombs Police
Court this afternoon, All Moon, laundry
man, was brought before Justice Smith to
answer a charge of firing pistol at crowd
of white ruffians, who last night attacked
the Chinese quarter in Pell street, In force,
with the declared intention of Cleaning
them out The prisoner admitted firing
the pistol, but explained that 1t was in self
defense, aud, moreover, it was loaded only
with blank cartridge, Just to frighten them
One Chinaman, named Lee Sing, was felled
senseless to the sidewalk. The police Off
GERS of the precinct where the disturbance
occurred eorroborated these statements,
and All Moon accordingly was discharged.
There were some twenty Celesttals In court
watching the result, and when their coun-
tryman was released they manifested their
satisfaction by crowding around him, keep
ing up for awhile a tremendous chatter. but
what II was all about of course nobody could
tell. 1t does not appear that the slightest
effort was made hv the authorities to bring
10 justice the ruffians that assaulted them,
though one, Timothy Abbott, Of No. So
East Broadway, was subsequently car tured
and sent to the penitentiary for three
months
