THE WAR ON THE CUBAN JUNTA, 'THE PRISONERS IN COURT Examination Set Down for This Morning. Bail in the Case of Colonel Ryan Refused. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT, Before Commissioner Osborn. The United States vs. Ignatio Alfaro (Secretary of War of (he Junta), Colonel W. 0. C. Ryan (al- legead Commander of the Presumed Expedition), Peliz, Von Sternberg, —— Lindorf, Captain James Peters and Abraham Ackerman.—The action of the United States authorities in’ this city in the matter of the suspected fitting out of a hostile expedition for the relief of the Cuban insurgents has acquired a widespread notoriety from the late arrest of several parties sus- pected of being the principals in the fitting out and setting on foot of said supposed expeditions. On Monday evening last: warrants were again issued from the United States Commissioner’s Court and placed m the hands of Untied States Marshal Barlow for the arrest of several suspected parties other than those arrested on indictments by bench warrants a few days ago. ‘There was one exception to this later order of arreat, and that was i the case of Colonel Ryan, who wa3 again arrested on an alleged new breach of the neu- trality laws, which allegation involves a violation also of the bonds entered into by him to await trial on the indictment and to keep the peace in the mean- time. The other parties brought into court yester- @ay morning bad not been previously charged with any offence in this connection; they were not ar- rested by bench warrants, but simply on the afida- vit of one Maximilian St. John that they were engaged in fitting out an armed expedition designed for rendering relief to the Cuban insurgents. Considerable excitement was created throughout the city yesterday by the HERALD account of the arrest of these men and the unwarrantable and very unusual course adopted by the United States Marshal and his deputies in making these arrests, The halls and passages in the court buildings in Chambers street were consequently crowded throughout the morning, awaiting the arrival of the prisoners and anxious to witness the proceedings before the Com- missioner. From some unaccountable delay and departure from the hour fixed for the production of the prison- ers in court it was after two o’clock when the pre- Uminary examination was commenced. ‘The Commissioner having taken his seat, Assistant District Attorney Bell, who appeared for the prose- cution, having put in an appearance, and the ac- cused, with their counsel, being present (Mr. Sedg- wick appearing for Ryan and the others, with the exception of Sefior Alfaro, and Mr. Lowry appearing for that gentieman), the proceedings were com- menced by ‘The Commissioner asking the vistrict Attorney if ( wae the same charge against all. Mr. Bell—Yes, sir; the same charge. The Commissioner—The case of the United States against W. O. C. Ryan 1s the first on the list. Mr. Bell—The government, your Honor, are not Prepared at this moment to proceed with the ex- amination of the prisoners in this case, The prison- ers were arrested either last night or this morning, ‘and they are now merely bi ht before the Com- missioner to have them [ee y committed to the custody of the Marshal. They are now fore gf held by the warrant of the Commissioner, without formal commitment. te was not aware that the Commis- sioner at any time committed these parties for ex- amination. ir. Sedgwick, on behalf of the prisoner Ryan, contenued that the District Attorney had ampie tome in order to prepare for the examination of the in this case, These partion were arrested the affidavit ot one Maximilian St.John last night, at six o’clock, on the unsupported vit of @ man notortously employed by those parties who have wy up the prosecution, and at the beck ana call of the District Attorney. Your Honor’s duty and the rights of these defendants demand that aon im- Mediave examination should be held. He had to urge @ further appeal on behalf of these men—that bs wig already under heavy bonds, having been indicted. Mr. Bell—No; none of these men, with the excep- tion of Ryan, are under indictment, Counsel had better contine himself now to the one case, of Kyan. Mr. Sedgwick wondered at the Listrict Attorney exhibiting such an unwonted feeling in a case of ‘this kind. Mr. Bell—I entertain no feeling in the case, but | say the case of Ryan is exceptional, because he nas been indicted and the others have not. Mr. Sedgwick stated that his client (Ryan) had beep imdictea m te Circuit Court of the United States, and the subject matter of the charge was the same as Lhe subject matter of the present complaint, and it followed that prosecuting counsel had tully examtned into the very matter that ts now before your Honor The complaint here ts supported by the evidence of but one single witness, and it was there- fore the duty of the Cow compel the District At- torney to proceed, so that the rights of thejdefendants might be secured them as the law provided, r. Lowry, appearing for Sefor Alfaro, about proceeding to address the Court when— Mr. Keli epee. om am not aware that the Saeine called the case against your client, jaro, was Mr. Lowry would say that, though not appear- ing for Mr. Ryan, be was present in court when Mr. Ryan gave bail in the previous case in a sum of 000 to answer the indictment against him, and 12,500 to kecp the peace, so to speak. He would say that the accusation against Ryan im this case was id indefinite as it could possibly be. No epeci ‘ta were set forth. Mr. Boll said he did not want the Commissioner to suppose or counsel to believe that he was not ready to proceea within a reasonable time, but the fact ‘was his witnesses were not here. For the first time these mien are brought before the Commissioner on warrants issued by nim for their apprehension. For first time I know oMicially that they demand an ex- amination; and, as to the case of Ryan, I was not even aware that Ryan had counsel employed till within five minutes ago, when Mr. Sedgwick ap- pared in the District Attorney’s office an im of the fact. The Commissioner said he would fix the hoor for (one o’ciock to-morrow. i OLONEL RYAN ADMITTED TO BAIL ON ONE CHARGE—RAIL REFUSED ON THE OTHER. Assistant District ascceney Bell then spoke with reference to the amount of bail to be required, ofl- cially informing the court that Ryan had already given heavy bonds, prior to the date of the alleged infraction of neutrality laws, and reading extracts from the aMdavits to show that the charges were really specific ones. He was prepared, he sald, to prove that Mr. Ryan on the day he gave bonds last week had left the court room to violate the law auew; that he has since been tn hourly violation of the i and that one of his final acts before being arrested last night was to make @ speech to bis.men and assure them he would be off to Cuba with them. He therefore asked that bai be refused in Ryan's Sedgwick said that but one expedition was ed to have been fiited out by Ryan, and that to swer this he had already given bonds. He hat rihermore also given bonds to preserve the peace. Moreover, he asserted that since giving bail Mr, I bad never deen near the office in question. Ht thought it wonid be monstrous to refuse to admit hin now to bat ‘The Commissioner said that in view of the fact tuat the defendant had given bonds to keep the peace, and that another charge had been presented against bim, and aigo in view of the fact that Mr. Bell, the Assiaiant Disirict Attorney, had pledged himself to present evidence of those facts at the ex- amination, informea shonid commit Mr. Ryan to the cus tody of M | Harlow, without bail, on the charge of an alleged violation of the neutrality laws, until to-morrow afternoon at one o'clock, when he would after the examination, decide as to whether he suowid take bail for hia fucure ope ‘ance. Mr. Bell then asked that the other prisoners, Senor Alfuro, and Messrs. Von Stember ort, Peters and Ackerman, be all admitted vw bati m the eum of $5,000 each to anawer the Charge, aud $2,500 each to preserve the peace. Mr. Lowry, in behalf of Sefior Alfaro, opposed the vosition and asked that hia client be reicased on if OW recognizance, as he was not charged with any specine offence. Under these circumstances he thought the prosecution should be careful lest, trotgh anxiety not to give offence to that disestah- lished country, Spain, they should violate the per- sonal liverty of a man who has come to this couniry in the hope of obtaining that freedom which is con- @idered specially American, The lavguage of the Attorney General jnetifies this remark. Me. Phelps, Assistant Disurict Attorney, deciared he was vot actuated by any Preaaice for or against the cause of the patriots, but aa an officer of the overnment and Asan American citizen he felt called op to carry oupthe neutrality laws, He went on to éponk of the publicity with Which plotting and con- @piring and enrolling of soldiers was carried on, and enid there Was a mean, cringing style of winking at the actions of the conspirators. If the cause is just, then the country sbould boldly and openly give them help. Moreover, it was the duty of the courts to protect Anwican citizens, aNd by ‘realy With Spain NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2%, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. ail engaged im these expeditions can be treated a8 pirates. ‘Mr. Sedgwick asked to be allowed to bring on the cases of all the except Senor Alfaro, The District Attorney consent to this arrangement, each to give $5,000 ball to appear from day to day until the case ended. The bonds to keep the and observe the neutrality laws in $2,500 will hold merely until the cause Is decided, and if thefcase be dismissed then the bonds all would fall throagh, THE SBOURITIES—NO FURTHER ARRESTS. Sebor Joseph A. Mora went security for the Cuban Seeretary of War, Selior Ignacio Alfaro, in the sum of $5,000 for his appearance from day to day, and in the sum of $2,500 for his observance of the neutrality laws. Bail would not be taken at ail in the case of Colonel Ryan, and onan be could have got osecurity to the amount of $100,000, the gallant fellow was taken back to Lualow street jatl, looking as cool and unconcerned ag if he were not a princi in the matter. Up to half-past four o'clock no further ar- rests had been reported at the Narshal’s office, but the Deputy Marshals are scouring the city in every direction. It is understood that many of the promi- nent patriots have left the city and sought the hospitable shore of Jersey until this storm blows over, COLLEGE COMMENCEMENTS. MANHATTAN COLLEGE. Manhattan College, situated at the junction of the new Koulevard and 131st street, is now the scene of the interesting exercises of its annua! examination, which began on Monday ana will continue until ‘Tuesday, the 29th inst., when an address will be made by Mr. Henry James Anderson, The college now numbers 225 scholars, of whom 150 are colle- glans and the rest preparatory students, Twelve will ve given their diplomas, having gone through a course distinguished for high scholarship. The institution is under the tmmediate personal supervision of Brother Pauline, and 1s ina highly prosperous condition, being self-supporting. ‘The academic course covers four years, and there are four classes. ‘he collegians average about eighteen years of age, and the preparatory scholars fourteen. Sickness of any kind has never been known in the college, and the inmates have a healthy and animated appearance. The programme for last evening opened with music by the band—a group of students who are good amateur players, and who discoursed excellent music. Declamations were then given by Thomas Howard, Patrick T. Glennen and Thomas F. Skelly, after which the French class (fourth class) went for- ward and was tested as to its proficiency in French. ‘The members acquitted tuemselves creditably, and, for such young linguists, produced a marked im- pression. Exercises in Latin from Horace and Livy followed, by the third collegiate class, and then came the examination in Greek, during which difficult selections from Demosthenes and Sophocles were surprisingly well rendered, and prominent snange able expositors of these ancient tathers were Mr. James Kelley, Mr. C. P. Cuningham and Mr. Thomas Garnett. A portion of the grounds has been cut off by the new Boulevard, but extensive improvements are contemplated. The following is a list of the graduates:—Jonn Grady, Edwara Fagan, Michael McGowan, Richara Morrigon, Henry McLean, John Saiter, A. B.; and James Deerpg, John Ferdinand, Valery Harvard, Jonn Laior, D. Edwin O'Neil, Dennis McMa- hon, A. M. sas PACKER INSTITUTE. The annual commencement of the Packer Col- legiate Institute, Brooklyn, took place last night in the chapel of the institute. The attendance was very large. A large number of the interested spec- tators, both gentlemen and ladies, found it impossi- ble to obtain seats. On the platform were several distinguished ‘citizens of New York and Brooklyn, among whom was the Rev. Dr. Vinton, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Buddington, Mr. A. A. Low and nearly the whole Board of Trustees. The Presi- dent of the institute, Prof. Crittendon, presided, ‘the exercises were opened with a voluntary on the or- gan, which was followed by prayer by the Rev. Dr. Kennedy. The re on compositions was then read. The following Ig the pi ‘amine in which the graduating class took 3 ‘ords of Welcome,” M.

These ‘§ were for the most part very creditable forman and were listened to with attention and evident satisfaction. When the reading of them was finished the young ladies, twenty-two in number, cregsed in white, went upon the ee when their diplomas were presented to them. ‘This ceremony was followea by an ad- dress to the graduates by the President, who gave Iatot tue names of te graduates and their plates of names ani jaces o!

POUGHKEEPSIE, June 22, 1869, Ch! how the rain poured down last evening at about the time visitors were preparing to go to Vassar College from the city to be present at the mu- sical soirée; but the anpropitious state of the weather seemed to affect not in the least the enthusiasm and interest manifested by all who had been invited. Car- riage after carriage departed from the Morgan House, Poughkeepsie Hotel and private mansions, all laden with the fashion and beauty of Poughkeepsie and other places, whirling away from the gas hghts into the darkness of the country road leading to the college. Ateight I’. M. the finely decorated chapel was filled to repletion, and as the weather was de- cidediy sultry and warm, @ sea of perfumed fans waved to and fro, imparting a delicious fragrance to theair, The programme of the musical feast con- sisted of choruses, dueta, &c. The first piece on the bill, an ailegro from ‘The Seasons,’’ was omitted in consequence of the indisposition of Miss Finch, which was a disappointing fact, as there were many of her admirers present. The chorus, ‘To Earth May Winds are Bringing,’ was finely rendered, thongh the voices hardly acted in concert ai times. Rondo Brilliant, op. 29, Mendelasobn, was executed tn admirable time by Misses Crane and Endress, Miss Demarest, in “Half’s Songs,” by F. L. Ritter, greatly pleased the audience with her realiy fine singing, and was justly applauded. The gem of the evening was the ‘“Concertstuck,” by Weber, performed by Misses Merrick and Weber. The pre imme was nov finished until a late hour, and then such a scrambling for carriages occurred as Was seldom before witnessed. Ky midnight, however, the last load liad jeft the college for town. All concluded that the soirce had been a very enter- taining ove. This morning at nine o'clock the pupils of the eotlege under the direction of Professor F. L. Ritter ave a matinée musicale in the chapel. Although he hour was early, nevertheless many were present from abroad. There were twenty-one selections in the Tamme, commencing with Nicolat’s over- ture froin the “Merry Wives of Windsor,’ performed by Misses Kirby, Kelly, M. B. Willard, H. Wallace, Lewis, Martin, A. Hali and Meade, and closing with “Marehe Und Chor'’—Tannhauser, The overture, “Entfuhrung aos dem Serail,” by Mozart, executes by Misses Clapp, House, Steile and Waller, was bril- lantly rn Schubert's “Marche Heroique’— Misses Benvett, N. Brayton, Gross and F. rotter— ‘Was received with enthusiasm. The matinée lasted about one hour and @ haif, during which there was annual meeting of the Board of ‘Trustees of the ge io the college office. The graduating class numbers thirty-six, as follows:—Lillie Adams, Am hers, Mass; Watkins Babcock, Brookl, Sophia Bagg, Lily Kendall Beers, Yon!

Dr. Babcock, who implored Divine preseuce during the deliberations, The reverend gentleman wiso alluded in touching terms to the wise dispensa- tion of God In hia Providence in removing since the last meeting of the Board two of ite members. ie eet God that the delibaretions be iv harmony, as herototore and that the institution may be as a city tl Nathan Bishop, Li.

The reports of the treasurer, Matthew Vassar, Jr., tne Library Committee, and of President Kaymond were also read, ‘The latter gen- tleman recommends the increase in size of the rooms set apart for natural are He also reports favorably in relation tothe health and comfort of the ladies of the college, which he inferred was due greatly to the beneficial results of improved physi- cal exercise. There are connected with the college 350 pupils, twenty-four teachers, a president and seven professors. At a quarter past eleven A, M. examination of the department of calisthenics occurred; aud thia was & very pleasing spectacie. Upwards of three hundred healthy and robust misses, attired in short drab suits, With crimson sashes—all of which are made .up at the college—appeared upon the scene in the Callathenium, and went through such a series of evolutions, exercises with sticks, light dumb bells and rings, as made the large number of spectators strain their eyes to take in all, fearing sonre feature of the charming scene would be missed, At first but about 100 were exercising at once; but when the closing, puree, arrivea over 300 jomed in the marching by sections, platoons andi column, then suddenly changing positions revealed a vast human wheel, the unique uniform adding greatly the fairy view. As this vast wheel wound round and round the voices of the ladies swelled in chorus to the airs of “Vive la Compagnie,” “Yankee Doodle”? and “Champague Charlie; and then the unwinding commenced, the head of the column passing Out of the hall. As soon as the ctators observed that this was the closing scene the long- restrained applause was deafening. Itis a maxim in the administration of the college that the health of the student ts to be made the first object of atten- tion, and that to the utmost possible extent those whom it educates shall become physically well de- veloped, vigorous and gracetat women, pre] to take enlightened care of theirown health and the health of others under their own charge. Hence the calisthenium, the riding school and the gym- nasium. Class day exercises occurred in the chapel at three o'clock this aiternoon, every seat on the floor and in the galleries being filled to repletion. The programme was as follows:—Music, Greek Saluta- tory, Mi } Lard; Music; History, by K. A. Sill; Poem, “Beyond the Battlements,"’ by 8S. L. Stilson; Music; Prophecy (very humorous), by E. J. Williams; Music. Then followed a procession from the cnapel to the esplanade in front of the college, where the junior and senior classes went through the ceremony of “planting the tree.” Miss B, A. Strong delivered a charge to the junior class, full of pleasant sarcasm, and, too, at times there was a vein of pathos in her address which caused emotion in the hearts of those whom the class of ’69 will leave behind. Miss M. @. Mead, from the junior ciass, responded, her remarks also containing many pleasing bits of sarcasm and eloquence. Both were applauded by the hundreds of visitors who, with uncovered heads, stood around the interesting scene. When the addresses were concluded instrumental performers struck the strain of “There's music in the atr,”’ when the class of ’69, as the poune. elm was being tirmly planted, (Miss Strong having thrown the first de full of dit upon its roots), sung its farewell so: Farewell! the words fall sadly, Like a harp's long sobbing moan ; 11 brings the paths divide When we left our college bome ; Rut where Past and Future meet Our dear Class of Sixty-nine. ‘The address before the Philaiethean Society to- night is to be delivered by Miss Biatchley, of New Haven, Conn., Who pronounced the valedictory ad- dress last year. *Left in Octover. THE NATIONAL GAME. Base Ball Notes. ‘The Yale College nine will be in town to-day and will play with the Mutuais at the Union Grounds. The Yale boys are splendid players ana if the weather will permit the game will be well worth seeing. < To-morrow the Alert nine from Seton Hall will play with the Empires at Hopoken. The young col- legians are well up in the way of handling the ball and bat and have, on several occasions, beaten some of our dashing amateurs, and have shown that they are appropriately named—the Alert—and that they might justly add to their title the names of the clubs they have defeated—Active and Excelsior. ‘To-morrow, also, the Eagles and Ivanhoes of Sing Sing will piay at Sing Sing. The Eagles will go up in the morning and make a day of It. The Social’s second nine will go to Hudson City to-morrow to play the second nine of the Union club of that place. The game between the Atlantics and Unions, of Morrisania, set down for to-morrow, has heen in- definitely postponed. ‘A correspondent of one of the Cincinnati papers, in speaking of the Philadelphia journals’ comments on the “Red Stockings,” says:— The Philadelphia journals all state that there is noth belilfant in thelr play, and this morning the Kepullic oa NWe tad been fod’ to believe, from the accounts of the doings of this their departure trom Cin- ciunati, that such @ ‘nine bad never existed: in this conn- ig WE Rad road that in Belding they coult not be excelled, Dating they could not be approached. ‘on many an occasion before, and as for their batting, why, the Keystone, let alone the Athletics, can beat it, if the game yesterday ieafair sample of their playing. The Athletics, short as they are, will whip them as badly as they did the At lantica, Eckfords or Irvingtons."” The style of braggadocio indulged in by the Phi deiphia journals, a8 alleged above, is exceedingly pueriie and shows that the ‘uncertainty of tne game”? was lost sight of. ‘The saine correspondent in writing to his paper at Cincinnats saya, regarding the championship :— ‘Our game with the Athletics will have no effect in deter. mining our chances for the championship. | The, same re: mark is equally applicable to all games thus far played and those to come, for the championship is an empty bauble, which the clubs of New York city transfer from the oue about to lose it in acontest with a foreign club to anotuer hose engagements are so unimportant tBat it will be ate in their hands. This definition is found out of Webster. For ite truth{niness examine into t 1868, and the Mutual of 1869. The Union Club was not the best club of 1867, nor was the Mutual the best club of 1868, yet by transfer they became champions. The rule governing matches for the championship requires the competing club to defeat the champions, then, in two contests. ‘Those interested in watching the b pocus transter will be gratified in the next two wee The Mutuals, now sporting the bauble, are seemingly about to lose it to one of two foreign clubs—the “Red Stockinga” and the “Haymakers'—either of which can easily beat them the second game; but the Eckfords, their chnms and roommates, who have won one and lon game, will most probably gain the thi me of the match, ‘and therefore will be champions. The former games with the Eek‘ords, although they were beaten by a score of twenty four to five, will bare nothing to do with hamptonship. ‘This may not be #o, but the probability of the Ecxfords be- coming the champions is better than that of any other club. The above comments betray at once an unbecom- ing local prejudice and the oe ignorance of their author on the subject of which he treats, They furthermore directly insulting to the Mutua's, mnions, Eckfords and Atlantics. Charging these clnbs with being parties to the “hocus pocus trane- fers” of the Crone mcrae f will undoubtedly amuse the base ball fraternity of this vicinity, who remem- ber the flerce contests in which the transfers of the championsiip were made. Then the brag that either of the two “foreign clubs,” the “Haymakers” and “ied Stockings n easily beat the Mutai in the second game,.”’ may convey a meaning of some significance. Does it mean that the Mutuals would not e a chance to win if they went to Cincinnatit Do the Cincinnati people so terrify Visitors as to give the impression that a = club to play against the “Red Stockings” in tat town would obliged to piay against the entire city? Of Lansingburg the author of the above scin- Ullations can not speak officially, so he must speak only for his own village folks. If it be meant that the “Red Stockings” and “Haymakers” can defeat the Mutuals easily, simply on the merits of the game, then the assertion comes at this time with a Pg Ae ce. The “Red Stockings,’ have found in the Matuals their toughest opponents so far, and although they defeated them, they dare not say they did it * iy." The victory of the “‘Haymakers’’ over the Mutuals the “Haymakers” themselves must acknowledge was gained not #0 much by their own good playing as ty the poorer pinay. ing of thelr opponents, Styling the Mutuals and Eckfords “chums and roommates’ 14 really refreshing. The Eckfords will hope, no doubt, that what the attendant chronicler of the Red Stockings states as a probability in their favor may prove to be unlike tne majority of his wise as- sertions, as above quoted, and be therefore strictly correct. They, however, have had personal rie ence in base ball matters, and they are not foolish enough to reckon on anything as betng sale in base ball. Another Victory for the Red Stockings in Philadelphin. PHILADELPHIA, June 22, 1869, A large number of persona witnessed the game of base bal! between the Red Stockings, of Cincinnati, and the Keystones, of this city, The play of the Red ee Was not a8 good as yesterday.

Comparative Tables on Immigratiou—Rapid Increase of the Swedes in This Country— Arrivals from Ireland and Germany—Inte- resting Statistics from Washington. ‘The question of immigration ts one of pre-eminent importance. It ts so, not only in respect of the ac- tual accumulated wealth—money—which the immi- grants bring %0 this country, thus enriching 1t with- out any productive labor of ita own; not only in view of the constant increase of population, with which the increase in consumption and the conse- quent mereased demand of the products of the coun: try Keeps pace; but in a more extended sense is its addition to the laboring force of the country, to ite productive power, forcing itself upon the attention of every one, be he statesman in official position or citizen in private life. The student of political economy—and neither statesman nor citizen can suc- cessfully manage affairs in his charge without being such—cannot overlook the constant stream of immigrants pourmg upon our shores and spreading thence through and over the whole country. It has, im years past, changed the material aspect of many a vast region of our land. Where there was wilderness and desolation, where thick forests encumbered the land or lone praimes extended their dreary waste, there, in many States, blooming farms gladden the eye, the clatter of the mill is heard, and the cheering voice of the teamster or farmer, bearing his produce to market. No one will or can assert that the stupendous development of our Western country could have been but for the enormous immigration which has filied and is now filling the land with thrifty la»or and energetic hands. Three millions could never have peopled @ continent from ocean to ocean, nor rise to 40,000,000 of souls, constituting one of the most powerful nations of the earth, tn the short space o eighty years, without ihe aid of immigra- tion. But this matter ia of still greater importance at the present day, and in its influence upon our national finances. Burdened as we are with debt and taxa- tion, it concerns every one. Immigration lessens the burden of the debt and the taxes to each one of us, for the immigrant immediately upon ianding takes his share upon himseif. Thus if 500,000 people, who were not here last year, come and settle among us Guring tne present, they will take from the shou!l- ders of the people who were here before their comparative share of the burden, Taking our pres- ent population at 40,000,000 souls and our national debt at $2,500,000,000, the share of each is sixty-two and ahalf dollars, while with the addition of the half million of immigrants it would only be sixty- one dollars and a fraction over a half doilar, This would, however, be too narrow @ calculation of the benefits brought to the country and its people by immigration. They increase consumption, and thereby contribute, by being compelled to pay indi- rect tdxes on all they consume, to the national reve- nue. They open new territory to cultivation, add to the productive industry of the country, enlarge the volume of trade, and thus create lite in places where stagnation had been before; increase the na- tional wealth, and by thus increasing the whole ex- tent of property to be taxed lessen the rate of taxa- tion—so long as the amountto be raised remains the same. It would be impossible, in @ mere newspaper reference to the subject, to even hint at the manifold advantages which the whole country and every individual reaps from this source, from this steady flow of European immigration to the United States. All that can be done 1s to note the fact and to give the reader an important subject for studious reflection and deep contemplation. And now for the res. Here it should be re- marked that between the different offices in Castle Garden, and also between them and the records of migrant arrivals kept at the office of the German Society, at No. 15 Broadway, there 1s always a slight discrepancy, which is very natural and results from different methods of keeping the account of the numbers, Some officers take the date of the arrival of the vessels at Quarantine, others the day when the emigrants pass through Castle Garden, and others again when they reach the dock, between which dates there is often a difference of one or more days, and hence the number of the arrivals for a particular day, a week, a month in the year may vary on the books of the several offices; but the difference 1s always only a few hundred, or at most near @ thousand, and does not vary the ug or the resuit, as the accounts for the year, when the in- dividual items become to be compared and regu- lated, are, in general, correct, Another circum- stance should here be noticed. There is always a large number of persons arriving who are American cltzens and returning from a foret; get at the exact num- ber of immigrants, The division into different na- tionalities could ouly be obtained up to the 16th of June, and in the tables below the principal nations of Europe are only given from which we draw in- migrants, ‘Te smaller countries all over the world, whence no regalar streain of population flows to our shores, have been omitted.

Illinois is a favorite State with them for settlement, so is Iowa, isconsin and Minnesota, and it is safe to assume, from past experience, that about one-third of the entire immigration is and set within the boundaries of those States. - Tu connection with this subject there is just given out at Washington interesting information. Tne Statistical Bureau in the Treasury Department has completed a record of immigration for the thirteen years ending with December, 1868. It is said to show that at all the ports of the country, beginni with January, 1568, we have received 2,500,000 0! emigrants—pcople of our own Caucasian race— besides 65,000 Chinese. Of these, 845,000 are from Germany; 560,000 from Ireland;, 655,000 from Great Britain; 108,000 from British America; 58,000 from Sweden and Norway; 49,000 from France, &c.

Oration at Cooper Institute by Mr. Rj Parsons. An oration on ‘Michael Angelo, the Architect of St. Peters,” was delivered last evening at the Cooper Institute, by Mr. William Parsons, before quite a numerous and discriminating audience. The pro- ceeds were devoted to the benefit of St. Stephen’s Orphan’s Home. Among those seated on the plat- form were Horage Greeley, Alderman Tiernan, Chas. A. Lane, Rey. Dr. Glynn, of St. Stephens, Rev. Syl- vester Malone, Rev. John Crimmins and otner cler- gymen. The speaker, who 1s one of the few distin- guished lecturers the Old Country has favored us with of late years, spoke without notes or manu- script, and with vigor, fluency and beauty of ian- guage that evoked repeated rounds of applause. His peroration might very well answer for a classic model of scholastic declamation. He began with a dissertation on the grand princi- piles of art, its various manifestations in the artist mind, and then drew a@ romantic ptcture of the youthful Angelo, imbibing from the genius of Dante those sublime principles of poetry that create and perpetuate for uil time new realms of beauty, glory, greatness or terror, Angelo began life as the ap- prentice of a stonecutter. His father, the Count du Buonaroili, saw in the bent of his son’s genius some- thing which be mistook for a lower grade of art than that of scuipture, such as breathes into the duil, cold marble the wonderful presentiment of life; but Angelo felt that he was dedicating himseif to what should illustrate the power and genius of bis sonl, and he lost no time and spared no pains to render uimself an artist, the world has ever since agreed to pronounce the most perfect that ever lived. He spent ten years of un- remitting toil as a student, rising step by step to better and greater efforts, until his native town of Florence was filied with his growing fame. But An- gelo was a painter as well as sculptor. His breadth of mind and imagination seized upon ali forms of beauty, and what ne could not illustrate as he de- sired in marble he transferred with wondertul jorce and effectiveness to canvas. In the budding great- ness of lus iame he met with Leouardo da Vinci, one of the few supreme masters the worid has produced in the realms oi true art. Between da Vinci and An- gelo a contest occurred of that extraordinary char- acter that brings all the grand and ennobling pas- sions and facuities of the human soul and mind into active play. They painted each a coloseai picture of @ battie, to one of which the art critics of Fiorence were to award the paim ofexcelience. Great was the rivalry of the two distinguished artists, but it was of that high, chivalric nature that scorns an unworthy advantage. The world knows a story of how a pupil of da Vinci's, unknown to his masier, cut Angelo’s picture in pieces, and how noble was the observation and unrevengelul the spirit of the sublime artist as he simply exclaimed, *fhat is ail. I need to couvince me whose picture excited the —, envy.” The tale of how Angelo painted for Pope Jutius the con- cave dome of the Sistine chapel is one of the thrilling pages that mark the life of this great mai how for years, by night and by da, he worked upon the ceiling, suspeaded a bundre eet from the Noor; how he overcame tue apparently insuperable duttcnities of giving to 4 concave the appearance of a flat surface; low he followed up the seven subjects he took to tilustrate by finally pruduc- mg “The Last Judgment,” the most wondrous weird and terrivie production of the human penct! that the world has ever seen. Al! these are thewes that only genius can claim to offer, and then last, but not least, his final work at the age of eighty he dome, the vast and wondrous of St. Pe- u the world has not the equal. topics the orator, with a forces aad eb idom heard tn the Cooper Institute, yividiy 1 Wm. “LABOR MOVEMENTS.

Exciting Sculling Match Between Robert Ellis and Michael Gleuny for $400—Ellis the Winner. A prettier or a more keenly contested sculling match than that between Michael Glenny and Robert Ellis, which came off yesterday over the Empire course, has not taken place during the season. It was simply a splendid race, unmarred by any acci- dent, mishap or disagreement which not unfre- quently characterizes such events, Moreover, the contestants were in splendid trim, the course a fine one and the weather favorable in theextreme, Few boat races have attracted such a crowd of specta- tors, whether on land or sea; for every available point of observation from the former was taken possession of hours before the Start, while the calm surface of the latter was thickly dotted with all descriptions of rowing craft. Nothing couid exceed the interest of the spectators, for the event had long since been earnestly discussed, and the two men were pitted against each other for a thorough trial of their aquatic skill and $400 to boot. The scene prior to the race was one of much excitement, being besides somewhat entertaining and picturesque. Setting aside the ever ready betting men, who, as usual, were anxious, jocular and loquacious, there cl! on every projection of the pier whence the start wi to be effected a motley group of heads and a stilt funnier catatogue of hats, their owners holding fast for grim death. All along the course, toe, crowds assembled, and alto; er, including tue vanegate@ costumes of the oarsmen on the river, the occasion was lively. The course was from the foot of Brown’s Hotel, foot of Ninety-second stret, to 117th street and back, the distance to be repeated, making in all about five miles, Though the race was an- nounced for three o’clock there was_no appearance of the men till nearly five. Robert Ellis is a mem- ber of the Excelsior Boat Club, and has already red as an oarsman, while Glenny belongs to the [cKay Club, of Harlem, and 1 scarcely so promi- nent in aquatic circies. The sculis were about seven- teen feet long. Shortly after five o’clock the contestants appeared in line copes the stakeboat amid great cheering and excitement. At nine minutes past five the word “go’’ was given, Glenny being the tirst to dip his oar. For about twenty strokes he kept very oy ahead, but his opponent, putting on con- siderable pressure, quickly came up with him. Here ensued an exciting struggle. For fully a auar- ter of a mile the boats were bow and bow, when a lengtb, by a vigorous effort, iis shot ahead, and, gradually increasing his speed, at 106th street ne was fully two iengtus in ad- vance, while Gienny pulled manfully and with a steady stroke, In thls order they proceeded to 112th street, when Glenny lessened the distance between them, and was fast gaining on his opponent. Their en to the turning stakeboat was hailed with the most vociferous cheers, Ellis turned less than @ boat's length in advance and made straight for the shore along Ward’s Island, Glenay keeping close to the New York side of the river. Fora time it was dificult to ascertain who held the lead, but when about half way down it became evident that Ellis was to the front about four lengths. According to the course taken by Ellis he was compelled to cut straight across for the home stakeboat, while Glenny was obliged to make somewhat of a circuit, though beyond the influence of the fowing tide. The stretch to the home stakeboat was a capital display. A hundred yards from it both were equi-distant, and the contestants appeared to strain every muscle to be first around. ‘The scene was most exciting, the triends of both men encouraging taem by the wild- est hurrahs. Glenny was aimost around in advatc but Ellis, ping in between him and the stak boat, managed to get first around, the time being aw follows:— ye t Ellis. 19 ae Glenny = 19 AW je rf style, Bul over a boat's length im advance, pulling about thirty? eight strokes a minute, and Glenny about thirty-six.’ ot the pier near 106th street Ellis applied himself strenuously to nis work and was soon over four jengths ahead. Ap, the stakeboat a¢ 117th street Glenny crept up slowly and was evi- dently Fhe yn. epeena ste Elis turned @ few seconds im advance and then commenced the puil for home. Both shot along in splendid style and, although Elis was over two lengths ahead, there was yet a good mile and a quarter to be gone over, and the result was extremely doubtful.

He slackea somewhat, however, and Gienny made a bold erfor tocatch him.

The following ts the time in whic! the five miles were compieted:— ti “se 4a Fliis.....

Angry cards appeared tm the papers after each match, “fouls were almost the rule, and vone but the ring knew which crew meant to win. This thing ts not dead yet, but it has been in a great measure frowned down by the gen- tlemen who of late years have interested tnemseives In boating. As an instance of the evil we compia: of let che reader refer to the Tyler- Brown controversy of last year and the dispute between Raymoad and one of the Wards, where Ward claimed the stakes because, although ond won, he had promised bejore the race to let himself be beaten. The amateur cluvs in this city have done good servics in elevating rowing, and they can still do more, but the university crews of Harvard and Yale have undoubtedly had more to do in giving a lugh tone tothe sport than any other organization, In every race that they have been engaged tn the col- lege boys have always done their best, there has never been the slightest suspicion of foul piay, and the betting mea who flock to Worcester every sum- mer lay their money on their favorites, with im- plicit contidence that each crew will try to win, aud that if thear 1noney is lost they can only blame thein- selves for their want of judgment, As the Harvard crew are going to Kugland in a few weeks vil their doings are carefully noticed, and every rumor be- comes important to tiose Whobave backed either side, When the George Koahr came in anead of them the other day their enemies, or rather those that had backed the Englishmen, were very jubilant, and some of the papers growled at them because they took the prize by claiming @ foul. ‘They, howev crowed too soon; the Harvards rowed with a c swain who weighed 110 pounds and with a boat Mfty two feet lovg, Which was never intended ior anything but practice, and which, above all, was ineant for & traight course and not for turning @ stakebout. They proved a few days afterwards when wey met the same crew at Chariestown and beat thena uearly a minute in a four mile race, this tle, how- ever, in a shorter boat and without a coxswain.
