Wasuincron, March 27—8 P. M.

It is said ho is a hard shell, but his peculiar merit seems to consist in the fact that his position 1s not def- nitely known. The plan of the appointments above given is that of compromle, that is—Mr. Marey has managed to compromise Mr. Schell and the harda out of tbe collectorship, and to give it to his friend. If the nominations are sent in thus, it can safely be foretold that anything but harmony will be the result. Mr. Schell desires no place but the coilectorship. Fer that office he has been pressed bv the hards ina body ; and to offer him an inferior appointment for which he fas not an applicant, must be regarded as anything but complimentary. This sort of compromise, which gives a man backed up for a full mission, for instance, a messengership, is something entirely new, and entirely novel ard unique.

Easter Wers.—Forty days of fasting being now over, the Roman Catholic portion of our community will, no doubt, celebrate the event by eating enormous quantities cf beef, bacon, pork and eggs. The name easter is derived from the Saxen word oster, meaning rising. The feast is observed with great solemnity at Rome. ‘The Pontiff is conveyed in state to the church -of St. Peter, where he bestows a blessing from the balcony upon the multitude assembled in the streets be low. In the rural distriets of Ireland the people believe that the sun performs sundry dances, and thousands of “the inhabitants get up at sunriso to witnoss the ‘dancing of the sun.’’ In forwer years Easter Sunday was obsorved in a pompous and splendid manner by the Europeans; but as the people continued to grow enlightened all those ab surd and nonsensical customs have become obsolete: Archwologists have never been able to discover any reason for the connection between eggs and Easter. The origin, therefore, of the connection is lo-t ia tho mists of remote antiquity. This being Easter Monday the people of Europe ‘will observe it as a holigay. and Jarge quantities of eggs will be consumed by them. The « classes of London will proceed to day to the great fextival knownas “G i The girls amu-e themselves by staining eggs and hiding them among the bishes, where they are found by the boys. They also amaso themselves by rolling down the hills, in the vie'nivy of London, while the bors for fun roll eggs down after ikem. The cockneys will, no doubt, amuse themsclyes right merrily to-day. t in all Roman son of relt- Faster week is observed with gre Catholic countries, but in Prus: gious jubilee.

ALpany, March 24, 1853, Making Wild Cat Money Equal with New York-—Central Line Consolidation—The Pacific Railroad Defunct— Amending the Emigrant Laws, de. There is no end to currency tinkering. For several years a contest existed between the city and country bankers, in relation to the redemption of the notes of the latter, At that time a half per cent was required by law. ‘This measure occasioned a very heavy expense daily, in converting paper which was below par into current funds. A strong party ‘advocated par redomption— an equally active section were for keeping up the half ner cent, whith was merely for the benefit of the city brokers. Finally, after a very strenuous struggle, a compromise was agreed upon, and a readostion of one quarter per cent was established as a basis for the redemption of all country notes of the banks of this State. With this law a general acquiescence has ever since prevailed. Now, the ever busy money regulators have started a sehome, by which they wieh to make the redemption of all foreign bank notes upon the same basis as our own. A bill to this cflecthas passed the House very hurriedly, without any examination. It came to tho Senate oa Wednesday, and a motion was sprung to send th: bill to a third reading there, alse without any consideration or reflection. Should this bili pays i would produce the greatest injury upon all oar ows banks, and instead of using our own funds the city an State would be flooded and submerge with all the wil cet rags of the West. If Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin Texas, Nebraska, or other foreign funds, can be redeemed in the city of Sew York upon the same’ terms that our own money is exchanged, then there will be no computa. tion cf the many millions circulating throuxh the State, to the almost utter exclusion of money which we know is secured upom solid basis, Instead of deiying out, foreign paper, this making it uport a par with our own will moat certainty be a greater inducement io keep it in civcula- tion here than at home. It will be doing more to lish the character of the States, whose solidity we know ‘nothing about, than the Legislatures of the Wostera States can do for them. ‘There ure severat able financiers in the Senate, who will, no doubt, errefully consider this important matter before voting upon it, ‘The bill having passed to consolidate all the raiiroads of the canal line, arrangements are now making to have an early meeting of all the Presidents and Directors at an carly day.

Severs! of the roads, which have ever been a dead weight, such as the Troy and Schenec- tady, will rcurcely be able to come in unless they offer a respectable premiun. ‘The whole line is to be under one Board of Managers, of whom Erastus Corning of thie city 4s to be Presifent.’ Ho is, probably, with the exception of Governor Paine, of Vermont, or Robert Schuyler, of New- York, the most competent man in the country, to wield sveh’a great work. ‘the first Dill introduced in the Legislature was for the incorporation of a company to constrict a railroad to the Pacific. It was expected by its frienda—many of thoxe named as corporators being State officers—that it could be run through the Legislature in soason for taking ac- tion upon it by Congreas bafore the 4th of March. A bill of this magnitude asking for a combination of one hun- dred millions, startled several senators. Mr. Babcock and Mr. Taber especially, resisted its passage at every step. It was discussed very freely and elaborsiely by ita opponents ; its fricnds said but little, and at one time, during the’ middle of February, had a majority in its favor. But py some legislative or parliamentary tactics it was stayed off from day to day. until, finally, the 4th of March arrived. Since then, nothing has been heard of the Facific Railroad. The passage cf the bill through the House amending the emigrant Jaws has brought a strong, persevering, and energetic lobby into the Senate aguinst it. The New ‘York senators, if united. could either pass or defeat the bill ; but being divided, their influence is powerless with thelr country brethren. ‘The bill restoring the ph~siclan to the Marire Hospital will pasa the Senate, and also the House, if no untoward circumstances intervene. New York Hospital. PRESENTED TO THE ASSEMBLY BY THE HONORABLE D. B. TAYLOR, The commissioners appointed under the act of M y 13, 1840—chapter 289—to exnmine into the condition of the New York Ho-pital, the New York Bye Intirmary, the fcaman’s Retreat, and the Marine Hospital at Sta- ten Irland, and to report thereon annuaily to the Legisla- ture, respectfully submit the following REPORT. The New York Hospital exhibits throughout its exten- | sive wards, evidences cf unremitted care on the part of | the governors and medical officers of the institution in the treatment of patients. ‘I'he eeveral buildings of the Hos ital, allotted to the sick, are, with one exception, well adapted for the purposes for which they were erect: ed. One cdifice, originally intented tor the reception of lunatics, but now used 28 a hospital for patients ili of | other disca:es, is defective in the means of ventillation, and this serious defect cannot, from the atructure of the building, te corrected. It isthe intention of the gov- ernors to remove it ard erect in its stead one botter adapted for the comfort and eure of patients. ‘The physicians and surgeons who are in daily attendance on the sick, and whe serve gratuitously, are among the most skillful in their profession The quality of the stores | used by the patients is unexceptionable, and the apart- mepts or wards are kept in admirable order and cleanli- neas, ‘The Asylum for Lunatics, situated seven wiles from the hospital, is a branch of the institution. and under the charge of the :ame board of officers. The same remarks apply toits maragement, ax to that of the main hospital. ‘There appears to be the itke sedulous attention to the tients. The same order, comfort, and cleanliness are ¥ ble throughout the wards, ‘The buildings are well venti- lated; and everything is afforded which can minister to the care, orallay the sufferings of this unfortuoate class of patients. Ihe G vernora are now engaged in an effort to obtain by subsertptions, the sum of $259,000, for the purpose of enlarging and improving the builoings of the hospital and asylum. The surcess which has thas far altended theic exertions, affords a guatifying proof of the confidence re- yoredin their management by their fellow citizens ; and the sense entertained of a well regulated hospitsl, com- mensuraie in extent to the wants of a great city. ‘The Commissioners respectfully commend the object in view to the favorable consideration of the legislature. ¢ Bye and Ear Infirmary is an institation that woll deseryes the fostering care of the State, ‘the amount of relief it gratuitously aiords to patients afilicted with diseases of the sensitive organs of tho eye and ear is very great, but its usefulness is Kmited to the small sum ap- propriated for its support. It is managed with remarka Blo ‘econonsy,.. ‘the. professional. seryives Gre. rendered gratuitously by four attending and two consulting sur- geons, of acknowledged +kill and eminence ; the salary of | the apothecary is but $127 per annum, and the romainder of the annual Income of the Institution is devoted to the purchase of mdicines und the payment of the incidental | s expenses, such as lights, fuel, amd insurance on the | building.’ The means of the institution are derived from n by the State of $1,000, and $250 he city authorities. With this small amount of money, there have been treated over three thousand pa- tients during the past year, the greater proportion of whom were incavable of attending to their daily pursuits while afflicted with disease, so that aside from the relief of human suffering, there has bocn restored to usefulaesa this large nuinber, through the agency of the Eye Lauder ary. It appears from the records of the iufirmary, tha 1829 the numter of patients was i842 “ “ rt 1850 “ “ “ 1861 “ « « 1851 to Ist Tee. * ” 1852 “ « & —And that the aggregate number treated eiace the foun ution of the institution, in 1826, is 39,485 But important as have been the benefits derived from the establishment of this noble charity, #: cannot be doubted that its usefulness might be very groatly increas ed: for, large as is the numbor whose suiferinse have boon aleviated or removed, the actual number among the poor who are languivhing'undor painful diseases of the eye, inuch exceeds the number treated. From the State of Matsschusetts, ha: 2 population of but one third the number in this State, there were re- ceived at the Poston Infirmary, during the 2,004 pationts or a number equal to that treaied at th New York Infirmary. The State of Masixchusetts, in the exercise of a wise | philanthropy, appropri ‘od $5,000 for the erection of a Fuitable building for an intirméry, and $9,000 per unum | for five years to defray the annual expeases. Subsequent: ly the LegisInture of that State granted tho further anm Of $15,00, on condition that $10,000 shonl} be obtainot by private subscription. The condition was fuliilied, and ‘a spacions edifice for au infirmary has beon erectad. The building occupied by the New York Infirmary is altogether unsuited for its purpose, Originally designed for w private re-idence, it is not of sufficient capacity to ate the patients who throng to it for relio’. ms for the house patients are too small; they a1 notsconstructed to permit proper ventilation, and they are too few in number, An effort is now being made by the benevolent trustees of the institution to obtain, by private subscription, a sum suflicient to erect a apacions vn commocious building. The commissionors rospest- fully recommend that an appropriation of 315,000 be mnade for this object, on the condition that alike amount be raised by the trustees, and that the annual appropri- ation be increased to $2,000, ‘The objection that hax sometimes been made-to the ap- propriation of the moneys of the State to charities in this city—that they are local in their character— loos not ap- ply to the Fye Infirmary, Of the thousands who annaally obtain rellef from painful disease, a vecy small propor- tion are residents of this city. The great number is com- pored of immigrants who have recently arrived at the port, or of citizens from the interior of the State, at- tracted to the institution by the fame it has acquired in the skilful treatment of tho diseases to which i Is devoted; and there is in the ascertained fact that disenses of the oye are chiefly confined to the poorer classes of tlw eommunity—to thoww whe Uneirsubvistewoo by maausl labor - peculiar reason why the Eye Infirmary should be cherished by the Ppt Sat ape ay ee ett diseases ha rich pocr are alike subject, but those affec 1° are almont exclusively the portion of the peor fe be mentioned that aside from the direct and immediate benefits which daily result from the establishment of the Infirmary, there in the school which it affords to medical students who are gathered to this city from all parts of the State and Union, a very great and lasti advantege—they there acquire a pevetioal knowledge the diseases to which the eye is subject, and the proper modes of treatment, which neither hooks or lectures, however elaborate or exact may be their instruction, can communicate. The 's Retreat continues to fulfll properly the purposes for which it was founded. A large addition has been made to the hospital, to give further’accommodation to invalid sailors, The buildings of the hospital are well ventilated and kept in excellent order; the physicians are believed to be skilful and attentive ;'and the medi- cines and stores furnished are of oxcellent qualities. The commiasionors, in the discharge of thoir duties, ex- amined the cordition of the Marine Hospital at Staten Island. ‘This hospital is the largest on the continent of Ameriga; there is none in which 40 many patieats are at times Congregrated,nor isthere any where the diseases treated are so generally of a contagious end fatal character: The Marine Hospital is a State institution; it is managed exclusively by State officers, and it is supported by & State tax. For ita proper management and for the lives and comfort of its inmates, the State is therefore direct- ly responsible; and that no consideration should be waut- ing to mark the grave importance of the trust, the pa- tients of the hospital are compelled to go thither by the force of law. By reference to the annexed letters of Dr. Sterling, the chief physician of the hospital, it will be seen that there were admitted from 1st of January to Ist Dec., 1852 Remaining Ist of January, 1862 Total . 8,466 patients treated, during cloven months of the year 1852. It fur- ther appears that the capacity of the hospital was limit. ed to the proper accommodation of 556 pationts, while there were under treatment at the same period 1,109 pa- tients, und that for want of room the physicians were compelled to put them in warebouses, contiguous to the hospital, but which were so utterly unfit for the eure of disease, that in the Janguage ofthe chief physi- cian, ‘they have for the past four wintera proved no better iden vhited sepulchres, full of dead men's bones and rotteness ”? On the 17th ot February, there were five hundred and twenty six patients under treatment in these warehouses, There have eines been erected four buildiags, capable of containing two hundred and twenty patients. ‘The ac? commodation is still quite inadequate, if, as is probable, the number of patients hereafter received shall continue to be as large aw in pant years. Putevenif the buildings now erected were capable of holding the requisite number of beds, there ought to be additional structures for the pro,er classification of patients. The blending conta- gious with non-contagious diseases; the promiscuous as- remblage in the same wards, of patients ill of malignant ship fever with thore suering from rheumatisin. pnenmo nis, or fractures, is an eyil that ouzht not to exist. Th ought al-o to be wards to whic! : transferred. At preser them, so that they » ec in one form, and ¥ state, are linble t Dr, Sterli leacent wards, their ereetion, t) t Present arrangement will be “subject to con- ex. missioners nubmit thet this objection, when human life is in peril, should have ro in- fuence with the State. ‘The State receives these patienta into its hospital for the purpose of curing them of the diseases they had contracted. and it may be held that the State hetrays its truxt when. careless of propor pre- cautions, whatever may be the expense involved, it sub- jects the patients fo the danger of contracting new ‘irease, ‘The commissioners desire further to dircet the atten- tion of the Legislature to the fact that the medical attendance is, at times, altogether inadequate to the Dumber of patients, and the formidablo character of the prevailing diseases. In the opinion of Dr Sterling, a gen- tleman of long experience in hospital practice, one hun- died patients isthe maximum number that ought to be confided {o one physician; yet it appears that in May last, thete were alictted to ‘each physician one hundred and thirty-six patients, In Juné-oné handred: and thirty-four patients, and that #t ove period there was but one piiyel- cian to two hunfted and'tive patlents? ‘Where ‘the tions of a physician axe ro overtaged, the mortality” must be terrible; and for this waste of human life the State ir-ptoperly rekponaible. The letters of Dr. Sterling, which are annexed ta this report, confirm the belief of the commissioners that there are very serious defects in’ the Ma-ine Hospital, requicing the immediate attention of the Logialvture. ‘The institution is in charge of the Commixionera of Emi gration. It connot be questioned, from the high persona! character of these gentlemen, that they aro sedulous in the performance of their onerous dutics, and careful and economicel in the disbursement of the moneys com- mitted to them by the State; but duties are impoved upon them which, from the want of adequate means, they cannot properly diseh That they hive, in the management of the hospital, done all in their power! for the welfare of the ‘patients there is aban dant evidence. Nor cen it be denied that the institution is constantly improving; but the remedies for existing evils should be applied instantly, for human life is being lost by delay. The Lonor of the State and a just regard for human suffering, alike demand that the Legis- lature should provide additional means to enable the Commissioners of Fmigration to make the propar alters tions and additions to their buildings, to proviie for on inereare of medics! attendance when necessary, and to make such issprovements as their experience may have suggested, but which they have been unable to carry into effect Signed WILLIAM W.
