Ai the last’ meeting of the soard a proposition was made 0 build # baggage bouse at the Casiic Garden, bub the Commi-sion: rs doubted the propriety of their doing 60, as they would thereby beanme liable for the goods st in the baggage house. The Pre idout was fally authorized to confer with the counsel of the Board, and report. A the mveting held yerterday Mr. Vxxvianox reported the cubrtance of bis conference with che counsel of the Board respecting. x6 Hability of the Commissioners in o44e they duil a baggage bouse at Caste Garden for tho uso of the emigrants, It waa thought best to build tho haggage house as roposed, but before allowing emigrants to use it they +hould b, compelled to state the vaiue of their g03- sections, so ‘bat in case it was stolen they could not eater apy vpfvurded ciaim in hg co iris. Mr. CaauGan cid not ike the idea of ‘he Commission ; being rerponsible for baggage. It would be a source of constant expense o the Board, which they could not afford in the present state of their finances. Mr. Ournia m ved thatthe #bole matter be referred to the Cas'le Garden Committee, with power.

During this late rain storm over 4.L00 truuk« were out ou the dock in the rain, and ne, doubt but that @ good deal of property was spolied. ‘The following resolution was eventually passed:— Revolved, That tne several proposals to erect buildings or sheds fur ntoring tho baggage at Castle Garden belong- ing w emigrants, be referred with power to the Castle Garden Committee, it being understood that the Commis sioners of Em gration are to receive nothing for such stor- age, and be in Dowise responsible for the uaid oaggage, low or damage to hosame, while said baggage or any porvon thereof remuine in the said emigrant de ot under the charge of thi: commission. Mr. Devi, tae counsel of the Board, who was present, defined the duties of the Commissioner toward the em - grant. He thought the later should be protected. It would be well, he said, to vuild the baggage house and place it under the care of the railroad companies that had offices at Castle Garden. By that course the Com mission- ors would escaye any liability for lost baggage. MORTALITY AT SKA. Some conversation took piace witb reference to the of- fect of the law passed some years since by Congress, pro- viding that when a death occurred in the steerage of a vessel of a person over eight years of age, $10 of the pas- sage money should be returnea to the Commissioners of Emigration. Captain Crabtree stated that $1,500 was paid to the Board last year under the provi-io1 this act He aid that the mortality had fallen off wonderfully, but there ‘was reason to believe that the deaths among the steerago passengers were put down to cabia passengers and infants, thus evading the law. It was suggested that it would be well to employ a clorx to board vessels and discover the exact number of deaths, ‘fas it would accrue to the benefit of the treasury. CRIMNAIS COMING OVER.
