WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP, Pauper and Criminal Emigration —We learn that the current visit of sir, John A. Kennedy aud Mr. Jobn E.

Mr. K. is a mewher of the New York Commissioners of Emigration Board, while Mr. Develin is that Board’: coun- sel. As the Board disburse some $600,001) per “anuin, and have consiantly under their con trol and charge an average of 3,000 emigrants, it is very clear that .hey havesuch experience with reference to the requirements of our country in this business ag may be useful, in- deed, to Congress, if duly heeded. We acer that they are of opiuion that the bill Tecamity reported by Mr. Wentworth, of Massachusetis, on the subj-ct of pauper and criminal emigia- tion, will by no means cure the evils that shoul beeradicated—that it will be likely to operate tokeep out desirable emigration, while proving not the least check on the ingress among us of the emigration to which our shores should, properly, be forbidden ground. Mr. Went worth’s bill recognises the certificate of the American Consul at the port of emigration, as Proof that the emigrant is not a Pauper or a criminal. Now, os most of the emigrants complained of start for the United States from Points from one to five hundred miles dis‘ant from where they finally embark, it stands to reason that the Consul at the port of emigra- tion can have no means of Verifying the ies- timony on which he is to be called on to at- Rass ae ara ‘in augers. latches as both parties are among the most consider- ate members of the House, neither being 0 inexperienced in worldly affairs or so rash as to ventare to seek to make any suchmisun- derstanding a serious affair. of grags harvesters ovement in cable stoppers of Ways and Means on the tariff question. | Proved force pump.

THE DANUBE. We are without anything respecting the in- vasion of Dorbrudscha excepting the follow ing from the Wanderer of Vienna: The Rus- sians crossed the Danube at Tultecha, and favored by the obscurity of the night, they Teeched the right bank in their boats, and sur- prised one of the weakest garrisons, and after making great carnage, re-crossed the river laden with booty, and taking with them a number of prisoners. There was considerable lo:s on the part of the Russians as the Turks fought with desperate courage. Among the slain isa Pacha, but his pame is not men- tioned. The inhabitants of Tultscha fled into the country with their wives and children and did not return again until long after the de- parture of the Russians . The Hamburg Wachichton contains a tele- gtaphio despateh from Vienna dated the 14th, wherein it is said that Count Buel has ad- dre:sed a note to Prince Gotsohakoff, demand- ing an explanation relative to the recrossing of the Danube by the Prussian forces, and their occupation of Dobrudscha, and thence, as a matter of course, their menacing Varna ped| and its communications.
