Wo take the liberty of addressing you, as Amorisans who have been subject to great hardship in this city, ith the view of placing plain statement of the facts four case before the public of the United States. We arrived here from New Orleans in the steamship Empire City, on Saturday, the 24th ult,, on our way to California; haying obtained our landing permits, for which we paid one dollar each, we transhipped ourselves and baggage on board the steamship El Dorado, Those landing permits stated the places where we were allowed to land, viz: the public wharf in this city, and the coal wharta the other side of the bay. Next morning, while the steamer was taking in coals, we took @ walk on shore. The guard examined our pormits before he al- Towed us to pass. We walked up the hill to look at a weasel leaving the harbor. ‘On our return, when within hearing of persons talk- ing on board the steamer, amd within three hundred yards of the ship, we were made prisoners of by two soldiers, and taken to a small fort about three quarters of a mile off. From that fort we were taken to the Moro , and from there we were brought to the palace at where, without the least examination, we were discharged. When we got to the wharf we found the steamer had gone on her voyage to Aspinwall, taking our baggage, and leaving us strangers among stran, A few days since, we Weat to the acting United Colonel Robertson, and asked him to us in lalizing the Captain’ General for some reparation for our unjust detention, telling him at the same time that we were promptly discharge} at the Palace, as above stated. Colonel Robertson scouted the idea, and said we had no business on shore, and that he could not lend the consulate to anything of the kind; indeed, he under- took to reprimand us for doing that which, as strangers, we could not conceive to be wrong, inasmuch as the guard bad permitted us to pass. We alwsys before thought that it was the duty of the consul to be accommodating and assist American citi- zens, when in foreign countries; but it appears Colonel Robertaon thinks differently. Perhaps a gentle hint from your pen, Mr, Editor, might induce him hereafter to ‘think and act in a different manner, But that we fortunately found friends amongst our countrymen here, we might have endured much suffer- i as it i, we bave been put to great inconvenience detention, Trusting in your kindness to insert this Yetter in your valuable columns, we remain, sir, yours reapectfully, BF.

POUGHKEEPSIE, Meeting of the Council Committee on Ratl- reads. A meeting of this Committee of the Board of Coun- cilman was held yesterday afternoon, in the City Hall, to consider the propriety of reducing the rates of fare on the city railroa * Mr. Srxrnen Ronerts said he was a resident of Har- lem, and that he’moved to Harlem with the understand- ing that the Fourth and Second avenue railroads would commute; but these roads refused, and it cost him $75 per year for his car fare. He thought this was an im- position. A poor man could not go to Harlem, because of this enormous tax; and the consequence was, poor men kept down town, or were driven to Brooklyn or Williamsburg. This was detrimental to New York in- terests, He went for New York interests, and thought these roads should be made to commute for about $25, and, by so doing, they would benefit themselves and the city’ at large, Mr. Fansnaws, of Yorkville—I conenr with the gentle- man who h: at epoken, in his ordre against the Fourth and Second avenue railroads. The directors of these railroads are an aristocratic set, who would take no notice of the complaints ot we plebians, ualess to put an additional ecrew down upon them upon the recurrence of each complaint. The people hoped to ob- tain from this committee a demand upon these roads to run to Kighty-first street for six-and-e- quarter cents. ‘The people had got it into their heads that this would pay these roads a good profit. ; ‘Mr. Vanor, of Harlera, read a long document to the committee, being the complaint of a public meeting of the citizens of that place, setting fortn their grievances in full against the city railroads to Harlem. These citi- zens thought the meter rates of travel much too high, and objected to ing cars at Sixty-first street. It was inconvenient and ought to be remedied, and the document ended with rhe jee that three cents should be the regular charge to Yorkville, and on and after the month of May next the cars should run direc’ through without et eg ® Mr. Gopwin, of Yorkville, here read a long document that took up nearly an hour’s time, advocating cheap fare and quick trips. Mr. Godwin insisted that three cents fare a larger income would accrae to tl railroads than at five cents. All history of busine: proved that cheap rates were always the most profit. able. In London the rates were cheaper than here, and income much larger. He did not think that the hewors of wood and drawers of water snould be made to pay a tax which only the most favored in worldly goods ‘we e able to pay. Councilman Screxck, the chairman of the committee, here rose to refute, he said, an imputation that had been cust upon the committee by the Courier and En- rer. He, and no other member of the committes, £55 Seen talked or bought up with free tickets. The meeting of this committee was only called in obedience to the public desire. He should have answered this charge by letter had he met his colleagues before this time, bat now he hoped his verbal refutal of the charge would do a5 well. A gentleman, who said he was a stockholder in the road, contended that a divilend could not be psid upon these city railroads to Harlem upon 4 less rate of charges than at present. He figured up the charzes and costs of the road, and the income at three cents charge for passage, and upon his calculation based the opinion that the railroads could not affordit. A(ter some further remarks of like nature with tho above, the committee adjourned till Wednes!ay noxt, at the same time and place. Board of Ten Governors.

Mr. Taytor, from the special committee on the sub- ject, made the following report:— Resolved, That the Board of Governors take the ear. Hest moment to express to the honorable the Senate and Assembiy of the State their unfeigned regret that con- duct wholly unexpected, from the caution i from the interference of improper person: 0 social pleasures of the day set apart for their visit to the in- stitutions under their charge, deprived them of much of the gratification anticipated from their visit. Resolved, That on an investigation of the causes of the extraordinary results of their arrangemauts, it ap- pears :—First, that unknown to the committee, a bar was cpened on board of the steamboat, from which parties altogether disconnected from the horpitalities of the oc- casion were enabled to indulge beyend propriety; and, secondly, that we have reason to believe that the ticketa were counterfeited and put into hands unworthy to be associated with citizens of respectability, Resolved, That while the Board sincerely regret the unexpected intrusion of these disturbers of the pubiic peace, they cannot but feel that they have spared no ins on thelr part to make the Legislative visit ali Eovoratie and serviceable to the guests who have h vored the city through the invitation of this Boar! well as to us who have been the victims of conduct wholly unworthy of the eccasion. Resolved, That in arrangements for the further hos- italities to be extended to our guests, such guards will taken as will prevent the stealthy introduction of improper and unworthy persons. lcsolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be sent to the Lieutenant Governor and President of the Senate, the 8; er of the agg | and the Chairman of the Special Committee of the House of Assembly, signed by the President and Secretary of this Board. wage somewha’ ) are given ver. resolutions, thongh in 1 d somewhat ungrammat) A TPMPRST IN A TRA-POT, Doxe offered # resolution, providing that the of City Institutions should pay bis own female servant. } Mr. West said that it was unnecessary to pass such a Teso’vtion, because there war — no power given to the Warden to employ a servant. It was only necessary for the gentleman to make a state! it to the proper officer. Mr. Down said he would alter the resolution to suit Mr. West Mr. Deano moved that the matter lay over, and the Board adjourn. Mr. Dexe—I object to that. Everything has to be laid over. 1 will move that the Clerk be directed to strike from the pay roil the names of the female servants at Bellevue Hospital. Mr. Drono—I will go. Mr. Duxw—You cai ene, and leave us without a quo. rum—but I will not withdraw. Mr. Dvoro then put on his hat. and took himself of. Ag there was no quorum, the remaining four Governors were obliged to follow bis example, and so the Boart adjourned. THE STATE LEGISLATORS IN NEW YORK. Their Visit to Quarantine—The New tor the Deaf and ®umb, and the High Bridge, &e., die, d&e. The members of the Legislature visited Quarantine yestercay, end had also an opportunity of seeing the several places to which it has been preposed to remove it. They were uncer the care of the Commissioners of Emigration, who, warned by the disgraceful proceedings of the day before. were somewhat more discriminating in tht character of the Spersons whom Spey invited than the Board of Ten Governors had been. ‘Ihere were altogether about two hundred and fifty persons on board the boat, and among these there were mot more than half a dozen members of the Common Council. It was a little after ten when the steamboat started frem the pier at the fcot of Duane street, and five before ahe returned to ber dock. Passing down the bay as far as Gravesend, which lies between Coney and Long Island, and about fourteen miles from the city, the boat stopped for a few minutes to allow the members to see all the advantag and disadvantages of that locality as a Quara: tine ground, It was proposed by some of tho parties in favor of the removal of the Quarantine to have float- ‘ng hulks anchored here, which it was contended would be more healthy and more convenient to vessels arriving at this port. The objection to the hulks were that it would be impossible to secure that ventilation on beard of them so necessary in the treatment of the various diseases to which emigrants are subject; that they would be too distant from the city to secure that con stant communi:sation with the headquarters of the Com- missioners which was absolutely necessary, and that they would be exposed during thé winter to all the force torms which there with resistless fury. After a few minutes inspection of Gravasend Bay, th proceeded to Quarantine, looked into one of the hoxpital: and then went on board again, evidently anxious to ter- minate their visit there as speedily as possible, For all te information which they gained by going ashore here they wight much better nave remained on tha steamboat. ‘The propriety of introducing over two hundred persoas into a building where we were informed there were cases of typhus fever, may well be questioned, particu- larly when there was no necessity for doing so, as in tho present case, Gotting out of this institution as quick as Ber cent, they were next taken to view the Sailor’s Sou, rbor, that is, the outside of it, ss seen from the beat, and from wich they will be well qualided to from an opinion in regard to its internal arrangements and character. On their way back they were shown Robin’s Reef, where it. has alao been p:oposed to remove Quarantine to; but the expense attending this it is calculated would exceed two millions of doilars—so at least the Com- mis-ioners of Emigration. Now, as Robin's Reef lis about nine feet below low water mark, and tweaty-two ® werk of no ordinary magnitude, and which woul we have stated, be attended with great expense. The next proposition is to establish the Quarantine at Coney Island; but this missioners, who are totally opposed to its removal from its present location. It 1s urged asa reason why it should not be located here that it would be necessary to construct a breakwater, a work which it would take five ears to complete and about three millions of dollars, independent of the expeni rection of the necessary buildings. The Commissioners are therefore utterly oppaned to Coney Island, Gravesend Bay and Robin’s sion to dissuade the members of the Lagislature against its removal to any of these localities. How far they lo met with objections by the Com- | , and they ased all their powers of persus- | have succeeded it is impossible to say, but it is feared | that the influences which will be brought to bear upon | them at Albany will prove far more powerful thaa tho mere arguments of the Commissioners. After the members bad gone through the arduous labor of inspecting the various places named, they set down to 1 substantial dinaer, prepared on board the boat, b; that dealer in good oysters, fried, roasted and stewed, George K. Downing, colored man.’ It was found impossi. ble, on account of the rather limited accommodations, to accommodate all the guests with seats at the table, and some of them were obliged to wait their turn. Not- withstanding this little drawback, every one appeared to be satisfied, There was, of course, some speaking to be done, it was expected, and asa few individuals appsar- ed to be charged with speeches, they wore given an op- portunity of firing them off, Mr. Verplanck commenced, by returning his thanks to the members of the Legislature, on behalf of the Com. missioners, and in the course of his remarks spoke ia laudatory terms of the manner in which arll the Com- missioners, had performed their duty, and the economy which they had exhibited in their management of the institutions under their charge. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Elijah F. Put ty proposed as a toast— “The Junior Senator of the State of New York—Cele- brated for his virtues, and remarkable for his talent.’” We are not certain whether these were the exact words, as the noise rendered it imporsible to hear exactly what he did say; but we mayors it was something of that kind—that is the usual style. In response thereto, Senator W.H. Goodwin, repse- sentative from the Twenty-ninth Senatorial district of this State, apoke ax followa:— Ihave great plexsure in meeting you in the great com. mercial emporium of our State, if not our mation. It is pleasant to retire from the dutles, severe and respon- sible, which devolve = us at the capital of the Stato; but it is more pleasant still for the members of the Legislature ‘ach Senators $ tay sclde sha em! ments and cares of office for a littl— to forget the excitement, the petty jenlousies and animosities to which we are exposedin the Capitol— apd coms here, and, with paternal feelings, surround the board of our fellow citizens of New York. (Ap- plause.) It is @ relief, not only from these cares and responsibilities, but from the peculiar trials of such a sitiem, tocome here and see what they have seen. For myrelf, Lean say I have enjoyed thow two gi days with great pleasure. This day has revealed to what, at the age of forty, I have never known before. I have read of the institutions of New York, of its exalted benevolence, and of the public and private charities for which {ts people are so distinguished, but I had never before a correct idea of the magnificent scale upon which they carried out their benevolence. I confess I am astonished when I learn that the city of New York is expending annually within its neighboraood one million of dollars for charitable purposes, and one million more within its limite for the purposes of popular edu ration, while two hundred thousand are given to the State for the support of colleges, academies and similar instita tions. Where, in view of these facts, is the man that will not award to the city of New York the coronet of excellence and a noble meed of praise ? {Appia .) ‘The Senator gave in conclusion the following sonti- ment:— “New York—The commercial emporium of the world prospectively—may it continue to illustrate its noblest charities.’” ‘After the company had replioi to this by drinking, the speaking was declared to be at an end, as the tavies had to be cleared for the reminder of tho sompeny In compliance with the Invitation of Dr. Harvey P. Peet, President of the Institution for the Deat and Dumb, the company visited the new building in course of erection at Fort Wasbington, the completioa of which bas been greatly delayed tor want of the necossary_ma- terial nid. It is hoped, however, that the present Le. gislature will furnish the requisite sum, which may amount to twenty or thirty thousand dollars, On their arrival here they were conducted to the Monroe Home- stead, which ie occupied at prevent by some of the of- ficers of the Institution, and where a repast was aprend for them. As many of the company had never seen the High Bridge, and as Dr. Peot had a large number of om- pibusses ready, they made a short trip to it befora re- turning to the city. The members from the rural dis- tricts — to ard this as the greatest wonder they hadseen during their visit to New York, and were at a loss for words to oxpraas theit admiration, After partaking of a repast at the Monroe Mansion, and listening to some brief remarks from Mersra, Stebbins, Cole and O'Keofo, they embarxed on board the boa! once more, where they amused them- selves during the passage dowa by dancing, Dodworth’s band being in attendance. Professor Underhill, from Germany, sung @ comic song, and afforded mach amusement to the company. The Professor is endowed with no ordinary theatrical talent, and if he could be in- duced to go on the stage might realize a fortuna, In fact, we think he has entirely mistaken bis present vocation. It was some time after five when the boat arrived at the ier, foot of Duane street, and the members of the Lagis- ture returned to the Astor House. To-day, they are to visit the Mercantile Tabrary, the Free Academy, one of the Public Schools, the Home for the Friendless, the Catholic Mefoosd Asylums, the Insti- tution for the Blind, the Institution for the Desf and Dumb, and Leake and Watts’ Orphen Asylum; and in EB evening a dinner will be given to them at the Astor louse.

Frem these it appears that the most serious chi were made against Mr, Abbott, who, we understand, has since died, one of Mr. Vinton’s letters, dated April, d say the people hore will mistake: ins it como poor heathen from our ling, lewdness, denne in ehurebes for gambi must tolerate it Was a fornicator, wo would not hnve Let such a thin our native preachers, i Why, then, in Abbott? God way o1 ask. da; Yet, continued the speaker, this same Mr. Vinton, both before and afterwards, disclaimed any knowledge of erlminality co the part of Mr. Abbott. Several other documents were read to prove that Mr. Vinton’s coniuct was uncharitable and unchristian. On » copy of his charges against Mr. Abbott being shown him, be depied having made them; and when tae coun- cil had adjourned, be disclaimed his owa denial, Rev. Mr Watson asked if there was not two councils —one to act on the case of Dr. Vinton, and the other on hatof Mr Abbott? Dr GranGer answered that this was substantially ao. At the request of Dr Bright, the Secretary, Mr. Cur TmNG, read a letter from the deputaton to Mr. Vinton, | and bis reply, in which he asserts that the deputation Jowered th: nderd of Christian character, and that a | minister might get drunk seventy and seven timss—if he | only repented, it would be overlooked; and that tus deputation had assumed to judge of his motives which should only be done by God; and, moreover, that he was not allowed the same privileges in his defence as a raur- derer ora thief would have, were he brought before a criminal bar; and concluded by remarking that he had been much impeded in his winistry, which was very successful, he baving within a short time baptized over 500 Burmans. Dr. WrutiaMs stated that this was a complicated mat- ter, There were two points now before the buard—one in relation to Mr. Abbott, now deceased, and the othor with segard to Mr. Viaton, charged with uncharitable and uvchristian conduct. The subject also embraces the relation of this Board to the mission1n Burmah, Ex-Alderman Murray said he long feared that quos- tions of this character would come up, and the Baptist denomination would become what other church »1 nizations were—a ey ecclesiastical power, This Board should beware of. Dr. Wun moved that the difficulty be referred to a competent committee, they to report for final action, | . Rev, Mr. Granore hoped that this action would not be taken, as whatever coumittee wi pointed the sus- | picion would attach to them of g influenced by im- preper motives. . Weicn wished to hear all the facts in the case, and he hoped the Board would not consent to appoint any committee, but decide themselven ‘he time for a recess having arrived, the convention took a recess for half an hour, AFTERNOON SESSION, The chair was taken by Dr. Dow1inG, and the conside. ration of the motion to refer the Burmah mission difli- culty to a special comthittee was resumed. After dis- cussing the matter for some time, the motion was lost, and the Buard proceeded to discuss the matter with a view to settle it themselves. Dr. HaGve thought that the missionary spirit was never at so low an ebb ns at present, and it was with some Cifficulty he could induce his church to support the missions at all. Tis was no doubt due to some ex- tent to the action of the #xecutive Committee. The Rey. Dr WiLt1aMs moved the following:— Resolved, That this Board most deoply rograt the manttos- tations of human infirmity that made the councils of Mout- mein necessary, and doplore the dissensious that preceded them, and which have ensued, respecting them: but that, efter a protracted and saddened attention to the va: rious complicated evidence and documents before this Board, the Board must record their opinion that the action of thé two councils at Moulmein, upon topics alike difficult and delicate, but, in the circtimetances of the case, inevitable, onght to receive, in the main, the sanction and support of this Board. Resolved, That tho Board do therefore sustain the course of the Executive Committee in their correspondence with the missionaries, growing out of and referriug to the notion of such Molmein councils, Mr. Murruy said, this Board has its ramifications throvghout the Union with the exception ef the South, and he found this proposed action would took lik y sumption of power by the council. Rev. Pr. WittiaMs hoped the resolution would he Gid not fear any such result. The question was a de- licate one, and, however settled, must pinch aud hurt in some quarter ‘he cry had been raised tuat the couacil assumed Pontifical power. This he (Dr. Williams) denied. It wi convocation of the missiouaries ftom all parts of Burmah, who acted under certain rales given by the Board, and therefore their procevdings were con- stititutional. Rev. Me. Kixcarp said be trembled at the conse- “quences that might ensue i’ this power was given toa Tooal Board in a foreign clime. ‘They could charge, try, condemn and blast the character of a man at their Jeasure. The churches would not standit, as they eera it an extraordinary ageumptiom of power by a local Board. If avy minister is to be tried, 1t must be by bis own church not by any authority outside,of the church, Rev. Mr Cuan, of Philadelphia, hoped this subject would be referred to a large committee, so that a full consideration of the aubject could be had. The question is full of interest to the missionary cause,'and the phrase “approving in the main,” in the resolutions had, he feared, a doubtful and dangerous import—liable to a too great latitude of meaning. Rev. Mr. Graxcrr, of the -Burmah mission, said the word ‘‘council’’ had been used in reference to the meet- of missionaries in Burmah. This term is not the right one. The word conference would be better. When the charges were preferred against Mr. Abbott, all the aig interested were called together, and the action at ensued is what is now before the Board for adoption or rejection, Hoe feared that there were those present who desired to break up the whole missionary enterprise of the Baptist denomination. (Sensation.) Adéresses pro and con then ensusd, and the Board finally adjourned until 734 o'clock ia tho evening. EVENING SESSION. ‘The Board re-assembled in the evening at 734 o'clock. After a fig by Rev. J.G. Binney, Dr. RipLey moved that a hort time be spent in Prayer, #0 that the bre- thren might become harmonized thereby. This was reed to, and Brothe:s Clark, Ripley, Potter, an4 others officiated in a becoming manner ‘This ceremony being concluded, Dr. Wituiams coro the folowing as a preamble to the resolutions he offered in the afte:moon Minute proposed to bo adopted by the Board of the Ame- rican Boptist Missionary Union, on the subject of the two advirory councils neld at Moulein. Acid the divergens+ of o inion which prevailed at the formation of the Missionary Union with regard to the more p of the forms prop%ed to be given it, there was yet a general agreement in th’ ne roapect. The Union: not an ecclesiastical body wielding church power, but a voluntary society—the channel of inter- course, sympathies, aid a council between the churches at home and the infant churches, that they should be honored of God to plant in the wide wastes of heathenism abroad. In any consideration of the grave questions now before the Board, they would, therefore, not be regarded as creating, by the Executive Committee, or by any of its agencies, ecclesiastical councils abroad which should trench on the independence of one church, ‘The laborers in our missionury fields are, however, full; entitled to take council together as to their duties, thei difficultios and their collisions, should these in any event occur. These advirory'meetings{for fraternal éeliberation ‘and co operation by whatever name described, the Board, Executive Committee, or the agents of either, may at whatever the LAM aco of God may seem ‘to pres to them as requisite for the interests of the churches abroad. It isjthis, in a limited"and restricted senee, that the term council is to be interpreted in the éocuments on which the Board would now pass, and-in their resolutions which are at this time adopted, ‘lhe Rev. Mr. Briaut read from the report of the Ex- ecutive Committee to show what their views were on the courcils held in Burmah. They did not deem them ecclesiastical orgsnizations. ‘The Cuarraan proposed that, as over a hundred gen- tlemen were permitted to»; and only about thirty would eyentuslly act, it would be advisable for the’ voters, that is, the Board of Managers, to hold an in- 1 meeting and there settle the matter. Instead of taking up one subject and acting on It, ani then passin, to another, over a dozen questions are involved, all o which have to be acted on at one time. Hence the con- fusion. Dr. Peck stated why the deputation was first sent to It was that a better state of feeling might be made to prevail among the brethren at that place, not ‘act in av arbitrary manner. ‘geveral other reverend tlemen addressed the mect- but nothing new was cited. fee Yoard then adjourned to meet again this morning at 94; o'clock.
