Gant1emEN—The Commissioners of Emigration have re- ceived and given the most respectful consideration to the resolutions of the Governors of the Almshoure, of day 4, 1853, in relation to the insane emigrants chargeable to this commission, and now supyorted at the asylam of the Governors at'a stipulated rate. It bas been a subject of great, though unavoidable re- gret to the Commissioners, thai the upusual and unex. pected expenses of the long and severe winter of 1851— 1852, contracted chiefly by the relivf and support of alion poor who would otherwise bave fallen immediately the city and its almshouse department, have ou a large average of payments for the support of the allen insane in the city Almshouse institutions, under the con- tract between the governors of that department and this commission. The same cause has also led to a simiar delay in refunding to the other counties uf this State their advances for alien poor who have paidcomutation money. Tt now confidently trusted that the increase of the commutation, by the law of the last session, for the re payment to the counties, and the relief thus afforded to the general fund, will, with the present iccreased emi- gration, enable the Commissioners to discharge all tho claims of the counties, and also of the Governors of the Almshouse, during the present sursmer. he Commissioners are not sensible of having in any way ‘‘disregerded the protection” of any of those per- sons whom the Governors of the Aiumshouse refer to as those over whom ‘they are, without reasons or authori- ty, to continue their gnardianship,”” By the geveral laws since May, 1846, regulating the ac- tion of the commission, all alien poor in any county, (not excepting the city and county of New York.) when Fequiring relief, and not otherwise provided for by the es- tablisbments or officers of this commission, are left under the general laws for the relief and support of the poor, to be cared for ‘as other peor, by the local authorities. For such expenses the commission ia directed to ‘' reimburse the several cities, towns, aud counties,” from the cum- mutation money ‘as far as may be.” To this general operation of tne law, the city of New York, ibove imtimated, forms no exception; although it has been found expedient to provide here for all sick or dertitute emigrants, other than the insane, in our own institutions, and with regard to the insare to substitui af} specific contract for mutual convenience, with the Almsbonse Department, instead of leaving them to be re- ceived as other city poor, in the institutions under charge of the Gevernors, and afterwards to reimburse to the eity and to other counties the expense incurred for them, according to the means of the commission. If, therefore, it be the pleasure of the Governors of the Almshouse to put an end to the express contract now ex- isting, eee of Fao Beaer will make no ob jection, although they consider the present arrangemeu' aaere convenient and advantageous for all interested. ‘The insane alien poor in the City Asylum would in that case be discharged on the lst cf June, so far as relates to the present arrangement. But as the Commiusioaers have not at present, and caunot have for some time to come, apy building in which such unfortunsee persons can be received and placed under proper sanitary care, they now give notice to the Governors of the Almshouse, that such perrons must be received by the proper officers; as in other counties, sccounts fur the expenditures thus incurred for persons having paid commutation duly ren- dered, and reimbursement theretor will be made by the Commissioners according to law. ‘The arrearager for former account for the support of such will be paid as early as possible out of the excess of the income of the geveral fund, above the cur rent ox, of the establishments of this commission. ‘The Coummissioners of Fmigration take this occasion of ealling the attention of the Governcrs of tae Alms Houre to the consideration of another subject, which has been repeatedly brought befcre the Gevernors without any defininite action thereupon, at least ro faras the Cum- missioners bave been informed. Independently of other charges which the law allows to to be set off against ‘any expenses incurred by any city, town or couvty,’’ which it is trusted there will be no ne- there ia another equitable elaim of the inst the Alashouse Devartmeat which is of long 5' ig, and is regularly increasing. The commutation fund has constantly borne the expease e pumber ef infants, (and many of them after sed the period of iufuncy.) the children of ers, but born in this city and county. aud as titled to the aid of our peor laws. For nome of these cases when illegitimate, compensation has Deen obtained from other quarters, but the great mj ority arenot of that class. The impropriety of separating the child from the pareut in any case, and the impossibility of doing so in wany cases, must prevent a general ro- moval of such infants from our institutions to those of the Almshoure Department. In some, aud in the aggro gate not a few instaxces, it might, perhaps, be done. By the booke at Ward’s Islurd it appears that from 1st January, 1860, to ath April, 1853, there were bo-n in the ‘establishments on that island 1998 infants, who were admitted at the charge of this commission and geared for for 7,170 weeks in the aggresata, Besides these there were a number previous to 1850, the amount of which cannot be so precisely asver- tained, and also, it is believed, a considerable number born in the city, and alterwards, while ull very young, received into the establichment at Ward’s Ieland—some orphans, others with their mothers. @ Commissioners have aiwnys thought that the fund under their charge was entitled to some equitable sllow- ance from the Governors of the Almshou-e for tae ex penses thus incurred, being suci as are not paid by this commission in other counties, whenever the expenses for the support, clothing. kc , of the child can be dis- griminated from those of the mother. F It is suggested that a refererce of this subject to a joint committee ef the two Boards, or to the deci-iou and adjustment of two gentlemen, one to be chosen by each Board, would settle the principle of adjusting this ac- count, the details evel eae be wade out with more precision by the proper officers. ‘Approved ‘and’ nocepted by the Commissioners of Emi- jon, May 11, 1853, and signes on their alf.

VERPLAONK, Prosident, Dyrya Decnarations.—An interesting and im- rtant question of evidence has heen decided by the upreme Court, now altting at Eas: Cambridge. in the tri al of Thomas Casey for the murder of Uuvra Taylor and * bis wife at Natick. Taylor, it will be recolleciwd, was dead when found, and Mrs.’ Taylor, although speech! and mortally wounded, was covscious nearly up to t time of her decease. She was wollaware by the assur- ance of her physicians that no hope was entertsivod of her recovery, and on being repeatedly requested under these circumstances by tors Whitaey and Hoyt to squeeze their hands if Casey was t! who commit ted the deed, rhe did give the sign as dirested. She was asked other questions to be wered by the «ame siga, If the response was affirmative, but to desist from press- the hand ifthe response was nogative. Those quod. Sido were asked to test the mental consciousness and sanity of the dying woman; and the amawers were auch aa to entirely satisfy the physicians that she had full vse of ber mental faculties, By the well known rules of evidence, the dying decla- ‘rations of s person fully aware of hin state, are admitted In courts ot fasten and allowed ull the credit of testimo- ny given under the solemnitier of aa oath, on the ground ‘that an individual conscious of his immediate departure to the presence of the Deity would be very unlikely to make s false statement. ‘The question in this ease in whotber the answers given wl ‘aa directed would come under the denomination by sl declarations. The affirmative was earaestt pressed by the Attorney General, xn as earneatly resiat- 2d by the prisoner's counsel.

Passed into the Morris cai pa Entered the Delaware divis nia canal... 1.4... The shipments of lumber for the year amounted to 52,123,761 foer—being un increave of more than 12,000,000 feet over the shipments of the previous year. The total freight transported on the Lehigh canal for 1852 was 1,320,053 tons. The profits for the year were, from ground and water rents and from lots sold, $33,881 46; from coal, $202,- 662.86; from toll, $486,565 14; making an aggregate of $722,900 40; showing an excess in oach ono of these items over the corresponding items for 1352, and a total increase of $77,788 96 over the corresponding aggregate for the previous year. The balance for the year to the credit of profit and loss, wfter providing for interest, expenses and repairs, ordinary and extraordinary, was $220,871 01; exhibiting an excess of $149,706 73 over the balance for the preceding year. During the ear the increase in the eapltel stock was $66,250; de- rease in the funded debt, $52,908 74; decrease in the floating debt, $222,900 29 ; decrease in the general in- debtedvess of the company, $398,050 53.

The contingest fund haa Deen augmented to $424,998 09, The estimate for the Present season is given at 1,225,000 tons, or an increase of about tem per comt. Much the larger proportion of this production has already been sold at satisfactory prices, end for the balance, » market will, without doubt, be readily found. There has been more movement in dry goods during the post than the preceding week. First class dealers have net done much, but jobbers have been decidedly busier in supplying « demand for instantaneous consumption at home, as well as for shipment. This increased animstion has not, however, affected prices of seasonable fabrics. These have been well maintained on woolens, but have given way on cottons, which latter aro plentier and offer- ed with greater freedom. In addition to the purchases which haye been made for immediate use, a few consider- able transactions have occurred io articles adapted to the fall trace, which has alceady partially commenced, though it is pot likely to be very vigorous until towards the ead of July, as many of our merchants who have succumbed under the exhausting, albeit profitable, labors of thy spring, are departing hence for the country to recruit themselves, and will hardly zeturn ere the moxt sultry and listless period of the year shall havo passed by. Some, too, are coming here for Europe, whither they go partly + to nelect their stock for the next season, and partly to re fresh their wearied rpirits. In this latter class we receg- nise a fow of our mercantile friends who, hailing from England, repair thither for the twofold object of business and pleasure. Of course the absentees, as long as they continue such, must impair the vigor of tuo traflic, which will doubtless be fully restored upon theie reap: pearance. We hope the result may prove as satiafactery at least asthat of tho past four months trade, Brown shoetings and shirtings are generally more abun- dant and though being in good request for the consump- tive and export trade, they have deteriorated from a \{ of cent per yard, closing however with greater firmagss, as the reduction in prises has occasioned such extensive purchases as have relieved the market of muck of the pressing stock, Bleached goods have boen pretty freely dealt in, as they were procurable at % of a cent por yard Jess than last week, but are now again comparatively quiet, factors refusing to continue the concession. Cotton flannels are in moderate demand, Amoskeag, brown, at lle. a 113¢0.; bleached, at 113{c. a 12c ; colored, at 120. 8 1234¢.; Franklin, browa, at 9349,, and bleached at 9X ; Hamilton, brown, st 93{c., and bleached at 10\4c.; Man- ohester, brownat 03,0 , bleached at 10s., colored at 1036.; Naumkeag, brown at 10%{c, and blesched at 11c.; Pep} perlll, brown at103., and bleached at 11%. per yard.

Drills are pretty active and firm, though a slight concession has been made to exporters; who have purobased with considerable freedom. Ging- hamsare not in heavy supply, while continuing to rea- lize the extreme rates of the season. There has been"a little more doing in fresh lawns, at rather better prices than were recontly procured for the goods of the Lodi and Portsmouth companies, disposed of at auction, Nankins areunohanged. Osnaburgs are rather dull, and some- what nominal, Printing cloths are in brisk request at rising figures. Prints are not so freely offered, but the demand is not active, and prices are without improvo- ment. Stripes are much depressed, aud can onlg be sold by retail at 7c for Manchester, 7340 for Neptune, 7%. for Lebigh, 80. a 8%Xc. for Taylor aud narrow Jawett city, 9)0. for wide do., 9%. for lds, 100. for Portland, lle. a 116. for Amoskeag, and 12c. for York. Ticks are quiet, but firm. The following is a comparative state- ment of the shipments hence of cotton goods during each of the frat five months of— 1862, 185%, = Dees Ines January. . : 182% — 1,63 February 4,799 8,471 = March. « 6,429 © «16334798 April... 613 7,888 7,35 May, to 18th 5370 83 447 Total packages 17,014 3,890 ‘Woollens sre in moderate supply, and held very firmly, though the transactions in them are not very heavy. ‘The continued high vatue of the raw material, by increas- ing the cost, lessens the extent of production Hence the confidence of factors who retain stock», however large, of yendable fabrics. Hence too, the growing eagerness’ to buy commodities suitable to the fall trate, as the im. pression is now pretty general that the maintenance of re ent prices throughout the residue of the year is 20 Longer iioprobable, and that their elevation is aot impos- sible. So tar, everything bas progres .ed admirably, aud though there now exists 4 lull ta business, it is but tem- porary, and will be extinguished iu the course of a few wees, when the new styles sppear in market, and par- ties resume their occupations after rusticating awhile The description of woollen goods that bus attracted Nice duri em the «eck ix coarse, these being the most ab ttainable oa the most advantageous terma, dascriplion was not twuch inquired for during the easly pyrt of the spring sensom, but, rover theless, it was repidly manufactured and forwarded to market Hence it 4, and is now only partially relea-ed from its lsoguid coudi‘ion by the detar- mination uf owners to ell it at all hazards, This they are doug very effectually by slightly redacing {ta value, and extevding the greatest accommodatioas to buyers, And this induces us to say a few words to manufacturers, It is vory unwine policy to persevere in producing such immeure quantities of coarse und unattractive goods. A time there was when there might have been profitably manufactured, aud that was when the Calioraia excite went Gr t arose, The dixcovery of gold in that country diew thither large numbers of emigrauts who carried with them very slim wardeobes, and who on their arrival there needed coining very much Un this account they gladly bought any kind offered thom, and subsequeatly, until they grew rich, and by o soxequense some «nat faa- tidlour, them they di-carded their rough habiliments, the materials of whion bad previously formed aa import: ant item in our trade with them and sougat after the best and finest art.cles of wearing apparel, whica were not sufficiently abundaot to ratisfy toe cails, Dut which bave since bedn pretty frowy furnished. Thus was lost our principal market fer coarse prod ctious, which, however contioued. and still continues to be manufac. tured as extonrively ax ever, Herein lict tho error of preducers—an error sbich +dmits out of one remedy, and that ts entirely witbin their own coatol.

Let us be moderate in our engagements, and we feol certain that, thoagh many may be the inconveniences likely to attend our movementa, few and incovsiderable will be the losses that shall fall to cur lot. Fancy goods are the imost needed at prosent, and such find pretty free buyers among jobbers aud re- tuilers at fair prices, The auction roows are still the scenes of some bustle, but the chacacter of tho articles there offering, ia now, more than ever, such as do not attroet the notice of dealers who seek for supplies of seaocvable sod select commedities.
