WHOLE NO. 8065. CONFERENCES OF GERMAN SOCIETIES. Protection of Emizrants—Castle Garden—Cu> rious Letters from the West—Political In- trigues—Prostitution on Board the Ships— Petition for a New Law Against Misde~ meanor and Ticket Swindle=Bogus Agents of American Ratlroads in Europe, dic., Sic. Namerous complaints against the treatment of passen- gers op board the steamers and sailing vessels from Liv- erpool, London, Havre, Antwerp, and even Hamburg and Bremen, induced the Board of Directors of the German Benevolent Society of New York, composed of some of ur most wealthy citizens, to call a conference together of all the existing German societios throughout the United States. Their purpose conzists in publishing all the de- fects connected with the emigrant business, and to ob- tain, if possible, a new act from the present Congress a Washington. In consequence of this call Pennsylvania, Michigan Wisconsin, Maryland, Ohio, Minnesota and Missouri, hav» sent delegates. Several other Suites have sent many in teresting letters of excuse explaining their reason for no coming to New York. The conference met on_ Fri , October 1, at P ‘tha, goras Hall, Canal street. Mr. Schumacher, Sr., of Baiti- more, was elected President; Mr. Jellinghans, of New York, Vice President; and Messrs. Fersenheim and De- reck, of New Jersey, Secretaries, After a short pre- inary meeting the members of the conference part a visit to Castle Garden, whtch establishment they in- Bpected in all its details, expressing their high satisfaction with that institation for the protection of emigrants. On Saturday morning, at haif-past wn o'clock, they reassembled at Pythagoras Hall, whon seve- ral curious letters, received from different States ef the Union, were read, at the beginning of the meeting. New Orleans and Galveston excuse them- selves by etating that the yellow fever is raging there sull with i 8 vehemence thal it was utterly impossible to gather a meeting in order to elect delegates, but they pro Taie to support New York in all their measures, Boston writes, the Hults Verein hopes that there will be some- ‘Wing done more serious than before for the greater pro- tection of passengers on board the steamers and other wencis. Be Paul, Minnesota, doce not send & delegate, ‘Dui asks the fayor to be represented by a substitute of New York. St. Louis had elected one delegate who pro- Mised to bo in New York on Ist October, but had not yet arrived to-day, Charleston sent in a very caustic letter. It says, though there were many emigrant protective laws wm existence, the stream of emigration will never turn ’ towards suc unfortunate and unhealthy country as South Carolina, They joined the laws to the letter, but but the letter has arrived without those precious laws. Milwaukie presents also some very curious excuses. It announces that they were obliged to dissolve their Associa- ton for the Assietanee of Emigrants and the Poor at Large, since it was no more permitced there to call free labor. a@ right and slavery a wrong, that the greatest animosity ‘ divided the members into ty.o purties, im consequence of which the democrats will not pay when the republicans ure in the majority, and the republicans will not, if the democrats should obtaiu the goverment. Under similar ercumetanccs, diesolution became unavoidable, but they promise to re-organize at an early day, &e., &o. Aiter the hearing of these letters, the Conference re- solved to send copies of their deliberations to the absentees, 3p order to guide them in their future operations. The order of the day was the report of the Board of Directors of New York. Mr. JRLINGHATS rose and read a very elaborate memo- rial on behaif of the German Benevolent Society in Green- wich street, founded about seventy years ago, in New York. He said:—In this country of materialism, humani- tarian principles are gencraily looked at rather with great indifference, nay indoleuce, especially in our great cities; Dut there are so many palpable facts which speak so im periovsly even to the most indolent heart that new efforts e towards social improvements must not be released. The terrible incidents of latter days on the high sea, the brutal treatment of passengers by officers of vessels, the ticket swindle and bogus offices in several places, are in every- ‘dody’s knowledge ; they are of daily occurrence, and discou- rage new settlers to embark for this great and tine country. = Besides those vicissitudes, secretagents, literary quacksand vecently a German paper, the Allgemeine Answanterungs . Zeitung, of Rndolstact, are calumuiating daily the United tates, for the purpose of diverting the stream of emigra- en from our shores towards South America, Brazil and ther countries where the Puropeans hitherto have never returned but with empty pockets and without a shirt on ‘teir backs; whilst bere, in this country, every laborer gers good Wages and is able to make his fortune. Well, atiemen, in the name and wit the full consent of the ww York Board of-Dircetors of the German Society, I beg to submit to you the following propositions: — ’ 1. ‘To publish a treatise in which an impartial descrip- tion of the diferent countries of the United States is given, with full particulars in geological, physical, agricultural and cther respects; thus enabling the emigrant to learn where to settle best, according to his propensities. 2.

Mirsouri would say we have the best and ebeapest land to offer; Ohio and Wisconsin might do the fame, Suppose an emijrant takes there, and he does not suceced, who will take sibility? Even working men are difficult to recommend. To-day Cincinnati may wanta thousand hande—to.mor. row she may throw them in the streets.

Thik was adopted, and the Conference took up the second point of the propoeal, eoncerning the suppression of all booking offices in Europe for the interior of the United States. Mr. Jxsuinonacs again rose and made some interesting ftatements, There are, he said, many individuals at Liverpool, London, Havre, Antwerp, and even’Bremen and Bamburg, who have the impudence t establish their of. faces and to take licenses for the salo of tickote, protend- t ‘ing to be available for all parts of the United States, These scoundrels address the passengers with the words, “Tam or we are the employes of the government of the United States—pay to us your money and we will give you tickets an money orders for New York."

Berwos Ayres, July 28, 1858. ‘The New Export Duties in the Argentine Confederation— Relative Population and Resources of Buenos Ayres and the other Thirteen Slates— Evidences of Prosperity—Grand Ball in the City—Independence Day—Commercial News, dec., de. In my last I gave your readers a slight description of the manner in which the Americans celebrated the Fourth of July in this city, Since then several matters of im- portance have transpired, one ef the principal of which is the differential duties placed upon all articles ex” ported from the Confederation (if exported by way of this port or of any other foreign port). At present you, of coutse, understand and know that this provinee is act- ing in a manner and with a government entirely indepen- dent from the other thirteen provinces which now consti tute the Argentine confederation or republic. The effect ofthe duties thus impored will naturally be to cause many exporters of produce to send their produce to Rosa- rio, in the province of Santa Fe, one of the provinces of the present Confederation, thus saving the payment of said duty. New this duty, thas imposed and decreed by the Geno- ral Congress at Parana, will certainly at fret somewhat injure the commercial interests of this city, But, on the other hand, the province of Buenos Ayres contains about four hundred thousand inhabitants—all the other pro” vinces together about eight hundred thousand ; the city mos Ayres alone contains about one hundred an thousand inbabitants,ali good consumers—thus you ere still remains for the manufactured Silks, toilet articles and gewgaws of s for the solids and necessarios which ne from the United States, such as flour, t ides, this port is the grand receptacle for the ber, raiment, &e., te ished to the three hundred thousand eouls in Uhis province, bat without or outside of the limite of this city. So mueb for the consumers. But J fear my enee (if you think I defend this province) will be somewhat feeble when J speak of its pro: ducers. However, it may be justly stated that its in hides, wool, hair, bones, grease, &o., pout one-third in value of all the rest of the provinces put together. Thus you see the (at prevent) confederated provinces are one-third of the eggregate value of all products abead of us. Now I will teh you how we nuke up for that one-third, Ta the first place, this port has eo long been established that in sum- mer excellent roads from each and every province of the Confederation facilitate the jon of products of ali kinds to this y, thie port has been within five years so improved that, notwithstanding its natural disadvantages, it ix today the second best port in all South America, if we count Rio Ja- neiro the best and sufest. Furthermore, many of the wealthiest eapitali«ta of the country, as wel! as foreigners, are evtabliched and reside here with theit families, and they eurely will nee all their jufluence, moral and argumentative, as well ae ‘material and financial,’ for the adv ment of this port, and last, but by no means least, our present government is 0 firmly establiebed—ait is, indeed, so truly a government of the people and of the majority—that (his provinee must, in spite of all obstacles, continue to advance with the same unprecedented rapidity which has inarked its progress for the past five years, But this late law of duties did not pars the late session of the Congress of the confederated provinces without etrong opposition. Several aged Sena- tors—nervous from long years of service in the field as well as the Senate of their country—voted against the im. ing of euch duties, among whut prominently appeared Ir.

There were three enthusiastic cheers given at the con- clusion of the speech, and they were succeeded by cries for Walbridge. General Walbridge announced, however, that be was waiting for the arrival of a deputat.on from the Fifth werd before he would ad- dress them, stating, at the same time, that he felt de- dirous of affording all bis friends an opportunity of hearing him together. ene cheers.)

It hae the boun- darics of the Congressional, Senatorial, Assembly, Alder. manic and Council districts of the city, the boundaries of each ward and of cach election district, the State vote Jast year, the Congressional vote by district in 1856, the Mayoralty vote in each election district last year, the Stato Central Committee, the platforms of the three great parties recently adopted ; together with the celebrated and often referred to Binghamton platform, which was adopted by the American party in 1856, We believe it is pretty generally kept forsale by the news dealers, at the low price of ten cents per copy. ‘Taw Teen Commercian Frac, which is to be presented by the ladies of New York and its vicinity to Captain Waters, of the steamship Prince Albert, when he sails next for Galway, is progressing towards completion. The device will be a simple Irish harp, surrounded on three sides by a wreath of shamrock, and surmounted by a suitable in- scription. There is little doubt when Captain Waters en ters the harbor of the “City of the Tribes’? with this splen- did gift displayed trom his foremast—which he can legally do when it is his own property—that the ery of Ireland, “4 nation once again,” will be revived and strengthened. Captain Kelly, of 34 Mott street, who bas charge of the arrangements, is annoyed by a mecn trick of the enemies of the Irish people. ters are forwarded to his address stating that money is enciored for the flag fund, when, in reality, nothing is sent. The captain imagines that this is the latest “Know Nothing”? mancuvre. Yesterday he received a letter signed “Mary E. Ten Eycke, No. 172 Fourth street,’ stating that ten dollars were forwarded, bat no cash or no such lady could be found. However, the captain will net want funds or encouraging smiles, both of which will be given by bis fair countrywomen and their trae American sisters. No Moxy Taxes 10 be Pawy.—Citizens who at this time of the year perform the agreeable duty of walking up to the Receiver of Taxes’ office to pay their annual assesement for the misgovernment of this city, were surprised to learn last week that their money would not be received, and that it was impossible to learn when matters could be arranged so as to admit of the receiving of the taxes, It seems that the difliculty hag originated in the refural of the Board of Supervisors to allow the Commissioners of Record the $300,000 granted to them by the State Legisia- ture in the tax levy for 1869. The Supervisors struck out $250,000 from the appropriation, and were willing to grant thera only $60,000 with which to perform their duties. To this fearful “taking of” the Commissioners of Record decideddy object, and they have instituted legal measures to get the full appropriation made by the Legislature. An injunction has served upon the Supervisors re straining them from delivering the tax books into the hands of the Receiver of Taxes; consequently that official is te ble to receive the moneys profiered to him by the Spe We nat east time as the books come inte his = sen i Js dgapersible to at inw's aolay pan snort ba Prayers of the Wee of course, will be that the matter will be poetponed until the day of judgment at least. The Ist of September is the usnal time for citizens to commence paying their taxce, and after a certain period interest is waded for non-pay ment. Of course, there will be no penalties required in case the time should be passed now. STRAMERS POR THE Pacre.—Some weeks since, two steamers—the Canaria and Amorica—arrived in New York, and were taken t the railway of Sarauel Sneeden, at Hunter's Point thorough overhauling, alteration, and repair. They were about 200 feet long, 39 feet wide, M feet deep. They were built for the Great Western Raliroad, and run on Lake Ontario in 1856 and 1856 for nine months. In June, 1868, the Canada was brought down the Grand Rapids by Captain Willoughby, who re- turned with the erew and brought the America down, when both were taken to Quebce. Both steamers were then taken from Quebee, one by Captain Willonghby and the other by Captain West, sen of the former Carmmander of the Atlantic, to New York. They are owned by N. P. Stewart, of Ontario. It ix intended to copper them and thoroughly overhaul them, cut off the guards to within three feet of the knees, take out the wooden wheels and put in iron wheels: put in masts and spars, and altogether to expend about $60,000 on cach steamer. The original cost was $250,000 each. The engines were built at the the eabine finely The repairs aro expected to be completed in about six weeks.

DKDICATION OF THE MORTUARY CHURCH AT CAL VARY CEMETERY, Today the interesting and imposing ceremony of dedicating the mortuary church at Calvary Cemotory will take place. The church, which is an exceed. ingly handsome structure of the Gothic order, and is capable of holding about 1,000 persons, stands on an eminence at the northwest corner of the cemetery, and has just been completed under the direction of the resident chaplain, Rev. Mr. Henessy. In accordance with the assurance of St. Paul that it is “a holy and whole- vome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loozed from their sing,’ it is customary with Catholics to have the burial service read by a clergyman at the grave before the remains are deposited in the earth. Previous- ly, this ceremony had to be performed at Calvary in. the open air, bat, henceforth, the dead will be placed in a catafalque in front of the altar ef the mortuary chureh, where the burial service will be perfurmed. It is unneces sary toadd that the dedication of a church to the service of Ged according to the Catholic ritual ts one of the mort solemn and ir nt of alithe rites of thatfaith. The ceremonial will take place at 10% o'clock on Sunday morn. ing, and there will no doubt be a very large attendance. ‘The tickets have been put at fifty cents, and the receipts are to be devoted to the resident chaplain, whose over. flowing charity t the poor bas left him in @ position to render sucb an offering most desirable. Calvary Cemetery is the great depository of the Catholic dead of all nations in the vicinity of New York. It con- (ains within the limits now enclosed and in uge about dity- two acres, but its entire dimensions cover 119 acres, Jt was open (or burial in 184%, and within the ten years which have since elapsed 100,000 persons have been in: terred there. ‘The average burials are at about the rate of 10,000 a year, one fourth of which num free of charge. “These, of course, come from the the poor who cannot aiford to purchase the few feet of earth destined for their last resting plac ‘The trustees of the cemetery also take charge of the remains of those Catholics who die in our hospi and public institutions without friends, and pay the expenses of interment in Calvary, If the weather to-day should prove favorable the crowds assembled to witness this grand coremouial of the dedication of the vew church will undoubtedly be in Protestant Episco- mense, ORDINATIONS.
