Commissioners of Emigration, The Board met at 4 0’clook P. M. Preseat—Commis sioners Verplanck (in the chair), Carrigan, Cummings, Kelly, Morgan, Purdy, Gerrigue and Keanedy. REFORMS AT WARD'S ISLAND. A special movting of the Board was held in the morn- ing, te take inte consideration the manifold deficiencies in the government of Ward's Irland. Strange to say, although the subject is of the utmost impertance te ‘the pubic, as showing how the business affairs of the ers have beem managed, the meeting was held at a time when the reporters could know nothing about it; and when Commissioner Garrigue moved, lest evening, that the minutes of the special meeting be read fer public information, the motion was overruled, with an evident desire to keep the matter secret. Our Teporter learns that a eomplete change in the modical department wae resolved upon, bat what it was he ia unable te say. Laat eveniog the following interesting report was read, ‘on the subject of retrenching the expenses of the C: mission, and was ordered to be printed. The resolutions appended were adopted. By the adoption of the report one hundred anc fifteen Persong are discharged from the employ of tbe Commissioners, wich will mal aving f nearly $1,000 per month. Here is the report :— ‘ New Yorx, Auguat 1, 1855, Your special committee to whom was referred the Consideration of the expenditures orthe Board, with the view of ascertaining if said expenditares could by proper means be learened, #0 as to cause them to Call the limita of the revenue, would respectfully re- That they have given to the aubdjcct eo referred to them ed seancentioe and preauea nie id im portance demands, and report. tn part, t!

And after ‘and patient investigation of the question so propounded, your committee feel f1 war: ranted in giving au answer in the sfiirmative, believing that proper seforms in these different items of expenii- ture would not only accomplish such a result, but the changes necessary to carry out such reforms would be sn absolute benefit to the weliare of thoee placed under our charge, while at the same time it would eflect all in a financial meat ot. view, that a pro- per it @f economy would dictate as our duty im the remizes. ti: In presenting to you these plars of reform, and our Teasons for believing in their efficacy to accomplish the ebject conlemplated, we would treat them in the following order: ¥irst—What can be done in the labor Separtment to make it contribute in accomplahing the above object’ In reply to this inquiry, your committee believe much, Very much, can be done; and. first, they would recom: mend the entire abolishment of ail sinecure offices.

Employment would tend to prevent the formation of indolent babits in those who are disposed to indus- try, while at the same time it would tead to form habits of industry in such as are disposed to be indolent. The attainment of these objects is of vaet importance to both us and them, as otherwire they would coatinue to be a burthes to us for the whol the period for which we are legaily bound for their support, and afterwards bn the couaties of the State.

L— TROTTING. A two mile race to wagons, for $2,000, between rm. Lady Frasklia aod b g. Chiosge Jack, came off oa Mon- day afternoon at the Centreville Gourns, Lady Franklin wca The attendance waa not an large as was antici- Fated fromthe character of the race and the 9 of the oags engaged; but thia may be accounted for from the unsettled state of the weather during the morning, ocd the indications of rain about noom, which deterred great numbers fri maturing Out. Those who were bold enough to riska wet jack+t to witness 4 good race— ead they muster very atroog in this community —wore at their ports at the appointed time, discussing the chansea of the rempective nage. Lady Franklin appeared to have the call in the bettizg, and the odas ram up to two to one on Ler before cither of the horses came ou the track. Mr Foff, lately from California, drove Chicago Jack; of Lady Frankia.

We see no reason to change tae opinions hereto- fore expressed aa to the future course of the stook market. The banks, it is true, continue to cater to the speculative tendencies of our people. The money of deponitors is freely loaned on all kinds of etocks and bonds. The prospects of an abuadant harvest have ripened into certainty. Some demand for our securities exists on the other aide of the water.”Mapy things conspire to sustain public con-- dence; but notwithetanding this appareat prosperity ~—notwithstanding the immense efforta of beak offi cers and bank directors—there are unmistakoabic eviderces cf coming disorder, liquidation, and lower prices. Tbe railroad securities of the country are again inflated, while the economies promised in the fall of 1864 are rach sere fect, forgotten. The New York Central Raflroad Company hive just divided 4 per cent to their stockholders, ‘‘out of the protits of the last six months.” Toe managers pre tend to show & surplus over this sum of some half per cent, on band. The running expenses are stated to be 50 per cent of the receipts, and with this statement the whole anbject is dismissed, as being ali that ia necessary for the stockholders to understand. If the figures thus hastily thrown out are reliabie, then it would appear to be material that more tare'ul exhibit should have been made, and thet it theuld have been sustained by other evidences than the signatures of tne existing management. It is @ time when such facta would be immensely ser viceable. They would be caicalated to strengthen pablic confidence in otber reilroad enterprises, and do away, in 6 measure, with the deep concern which the exposé of last fall 20 widely dimeminated. [ is plain that no such statement as the ote referred to cap be sustained. The Central road is not earn ing ita 8 per cent on its twenty five millions of capi- tai, and ft w equally plain wat the futare will demonstrate, in » way that caanot be misunder- stood, what the Board of Managers have not yet bad the courage to avow. In the course of this company may be traced 50: oniy that of every otber work of the kind, bat the courses of that portion of be community who are employed in “ working up materia: to attract the attention of investors and epitaliste, When money tx atandant from any couse, then comes the stroggle to boild up ead push off. bach ® process ia going forward with accelerated speed at this time Mansgers of railroad socks wick staggered almost tothe groandia the sutuma of last year, are aring their best efforts to get off ‘oer securities Caring tra temporary abundance of money, Banks are ¢ushing abeed tn the race of monsy getting, rezardiem of the effects which their imprudence tamet prodoce.
