AN INOIrIRY An CASTLE GARDEN.

A committee Of the State Senate will meet e Cas-
lie Garden on Wednesday next, In accordance with
a resolution of the last Legislature, to investigate
the affairs Of tn Board of Emigration. One OF the
Commissioners said Yesterday: This committee
was appointed in the latter part OF the session. at
time " hen there was much talk about the vast
amount of money made by Bernard Blgin IN the
Immigrant express business; by Nugeni j Murray
the heepers o. the bread and beer stands; by the
exchange brokers. railroad companies and the tele-
graph company, having the exclusive privileges OF
the immigrant business. These people paid no rent
or any fees Tor these Temuueratlve privileges while
their charges the same as by those outside OF
Castle Garden who have 10 pay large rentals. III
the Commission had followed Commissioner Haul
selPs proposition year ago these privileges would
not ave been gTatultOus for ten mouths thereafter
but the Commissioners would have had $40, 600 or
81 900 from Mr. Biglin and the Others to spend on
necessary repairs on The building and dock"
Commissioner Hauset said that since the ad0p-
ton of new rules month ago, providing that those
enioyinL privileges should pay rent for the room
they occupy IN castle Garden, for which the Com
mission pay $4,000 year 10 the city, he scarcely
knew what The line of inquiry of the COMM tee
would be. Tie supposed however, that they would
inform themselves a. TO the provisions for the care
and protection Of the immigrants alter arrival, the
manner IL which the money i expended, ETC. lie
hoped he investigation would be thorough, 50 that
the Legislature might be better informed with re-
gard TO the management of the affairs of the Com
MISSION which, be felt certain, would meet viii
