Jebn P, Kennedy called the attention of the Board to a difficulty at Castle Gardea. which had accurred that morning, and inorder to under- stand the subsequent action of the board, perhaps {t would be well to state what the difficulty was, the facts of which were furnished by our reporter. It appears that Jacob L.

Mr, Barker, however, signed the order, which was directea to Sergeant Reach, ct the emigrant rquad, stationes at Casile Garden. The Courciiman then bired the steamer Birbeck, end with a gang of men the Commissioners allege were runners, boarded tkeBt. Nicholas yesterday morning. Soon after, the agants of the Comm!srioner stiexpted to got on board, when, itfls alleged, the so called ranners presented revolvers sud threatentd to choot them if they did not keep away. ‘Lee mate also ordered them off. ey came back and reported the condition cf thirgs to Mr. Kennedy, who les charge of the Garden, Shortly after the Birbeck came to the Castle Garden pier with the passengers of the St. Nicholas—some 250 in sumber—and their hen, end; gage.

A number of the sceailed runners came to the gate of the Garden and Cemanded admission, which no being refused, they drew Knives and were forcing their way in, when the employes seized their revolvers, and fer a time it reemed aa though there waa to bea terrible fight. After some time the incruders were forced out, peace restored.
