a ’ ‘ NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. “WE CURIN EXPEDITION. CAPTURE OF THE WHOLE PARTY. They Are Turned Over to the United States Naval Authorities. Full Details of the Organiza- tion. Incidents of the Trip by the Herald’s Special Correspondent. The HERALD has already given details of the fit- ting out and capture of the Cuban expedition which started from this city on Saturday night, but the Rarrative of our special correspondent accompany- ing the expedition gives a vast amount of additional information of importance. The Cuban Junta, at No. Tl Broadway, after having successfully organ- ized and despatched several small expeditions to the assistance of thelr struggling countrymen, and believing from the clearly expressed sympathy of the whole country and the semi-official an- nouncements from Washingion that the government had no dlsposition to embarrass the Cuban cause, commenced sorfie weeks ago to fit out an expedition which should contribute materially to the assistance of their brother patriots. A number of gentlemen of distinguished military experience in the late re- bellion tendered their services to the Junta, and the work of organization prgceeded with rapidity. The circumstances of the arrest of prominent individ- uals connected with the enterprise have already been made public, and it only remains to give the detailed account of the character of the forces to be sent to Cuba and the incidents of the departure and capture of the parties. ‘THB EXPEDITION as organized consisted of 1,500 picked men, selected from about 4,000 veterans who presented themselves @t the various rendezvous of the Cubans in New York and elsewhere, Agents of the Junta were sta- tioned in nearly all the principal Eastern citier m Boston to New Orleans, and as fast as men were re- cruited they were sent to conventent depots \d provided for at Cuban expense. In this city the m ‘Were instructed to state, if questioned, that they ‘Wore assembling for the purpose of engaging in mining operations in Montana; but all were pri- vately promised thirty dollars in gold per month to enlist in the Cuban cause, and an a@dditional bounty of $500 im gold to each man for each year of service in case of success. The bounty ‘also applied to officers, a colonel being promised $5,000 and the other oficers proportionate amounts. ‘The men were to be organized into a regiment of cavalry, armed with Spencer carbines, revolvers and sabres, and consisting of eight companies of 110 men each; and two batteries of artillery, with twelve- pounder Napoleon guns. The party was also to take ‘with it a large amount of provisions, arms, ammu- nition and other munitions of war for the Cubans, together with several beavy guns, some of which were sixty-pounders, These guns were to be mounted in batteries at the place of landing; and to facilitate this undertaking several hundred sandbags were in- cluded in the frerght of the vessel, with which to hastily construct the earthworks. The regiment ‘was called the “ First New York Cavalry Cuban Lib-. erators,” and before leaving was presented by the Cuban ladies of New York with two elegant stand- ards (one bearing a presentation inscription) and twelve’ guidons, Both the cavalry and artillery ‘Were to be officered by men of experience and gal- lantry in similar positions during the rebellion, and the commands on reaching Cuba would have been as effective an organization as could be desired for any military service, THB STEAMERS for the expedition were secured with great dimculty, owners hesitating to take the great risks involved, and severai vessels that were negotiated with, after partially entering into a contract, withdrew from the affair, One vessel was fully engaged for $50,000, but the vigilance of the authorities alarmed the owners, and they also withdrew from the undertaking. At Jast the Catharine Whiting was secured, and every- thing, despite the many obstacles encountered, promised success. During last week three differ- ent nights were fixed upon successively for the de- parture of the expedition, and at length on Saturday the men, according to previous instructions, assem- bied at tim Park, Staten Island; Elysian Flelds and Jones’ Woods in the guise of excursionists, About seven o'clock Saturday evening the HeRALp corre- spondent detailed to accompany the expedition was hotified that he had but fifteen minutes in which to join the party, and hastening aown to the wharves ‘of the Charleston Steamship Company he found the steamer Hiram L. Cool, with Sefior Alfaro, the Sec- retary of War of the Cuban Junta; Sefor Bassora, Treasurer, aud a small party of Cuban gentlemen on board. Afew barrels of crackers and two or three boxes of cheese were placed on the Cool, dur- ing which proceeding the party was closely watched by two individuals, evidently assigned to that duty, and as soon as possible the lines were cast off. THE PLAN was for the Cool and the Chase, then lying along- side, to proceed to the different places of rendezvous above indicated for the men, and take them toWar- diner’s Bay, at the eastern extremity of Long Island, ‘Where they were to be met by the steamship Catha- rine Whiting, which vessel would then take on board ‘the men and also the cargoes of two schooners and sloop, which had left New York with the munitions and supplies some days before. The Cool, upon which the HERALD correspondent ‘was embarked, steamed repay round into East river and up to the foot of Sixty-second street, ‘where the tug RK. L. Mabey was lying, and across ‘whose bows several hundred men and a number of boxes were transferred to the Uool. The greatest haste was observed, and at the earliest moment the Cool proceeded to the foot of Sixty-ninth street, ‘where she e! for @ few minutes concealed in the shadows of the biuff and forest, waiting for the ar- rival of men who had not yet reached the place of embarkation, As welay there in the stream, witu the tide flowing swiftl, t, the scene was exceed. ingly picturesque and interesting. , and just above the boat, not distant, the pavilion gieamed likea many lights; and while the music the sound of laughter the gently falling rain across the river, the firefiies flashed amid the follage, we sat in silence, watching with anxious appre- hension for the appearance of the expected men, After about half an hour we Rae dropped down to Sixty-second ‘street, and, taking on the other arties collected there, steamed down towards New Work, leaving orders with the tug Mabey to ae off to the Cool at the upper end of Blackwell's Islan: any men who might arrive within the next half hour, during which time we ran around the island. ‘The men were instructed to report, in case of being hailed, that the party was a moonlight excursion to New London. tas we passed the upper ex- tremity of the isiand the Mabey met us and trans- ferred to the Cool Colonel Kyan and several more men, after which we steamed as rapidly towards the Sound as the fast gathering fog would permit. We were to anchor in Flushing Bay to await the other steamer with men, and the two boats were then to proceed together to Gardiner’s Bay. COLONEL RYAN on coming on board was not at first recognized by many of his own men, and in view of the rigid search made for him aiter his escape from the deputy marshal itis interesting to follow nis move- ments from that event down to the hour of lis de- parture, showing as tt does how easily a cou: 8, enterprising Man can move freely about th ity without detection by the most vigilant officers in pursuit of him. On escaping from the deputy mar- sbal Colonel Ryan proceeded in a carriage with a friend to Taylor’s saloon, where he partook of re- freshments, and then went over to Brooklyn via the Fulton ferry, when, after making several calis, he repaired to a private residence in Bridge street. Here he was visited the same evening by a commit- tee of the. Cuban patriots, and arrangements were “made for carrying on the preparations for embark- ing the expedition. Thursday morning he made a pumber of calls, received several visitors, and in the afternoon gave @ private dinner to a small circle of friends. After dinner he visited State street, and at geven o'clock crossed the Fulton ferry in a carriage, ‘The monty marsbal on duty there looked into the e, jund: alace the bands and floated softly with ut failed to recognize the Colonel in his ise. Proceeding up Broadway the Colonel vis- the headquarters at 636, and the rendezvous at the Casino, called in Thirteenth street, visited Metropolitan Hovel, where he received his rs, and returned thence to Brooklyn at eleven o’otock.

She, however, did not fall tn with the Cool, in consequence of the fog, aad after waiting some time we steamed tn towards Fort Schuyler. we approached the fort the men were all ordered between decks and forbidden to speak above a whis} A revenue cutter was knosyn to be of the on the lookout for any expedi- tion, but the obscurity of the night pre- vented our discovery, and we swept by in sMence, broken only by the monotonous tolling of the fog bell on the rocks. Once past the fort the utmost hWarity prevailed; crackers and cheesa were served out to the men, and a few officers by a skilful pom of strategy secured from the boat's steward a small supply of coifee. The boat belng densely crowded sleep was im- possible, and after a vexatious series of delaya in the fog, daylight found us only at the entrance to the Sound, instead of in Gardiner’s Bay. it day Sunday the Cool beat about the Sound in the dense fog, unable to make out her poaition, until the flerce storm of that afternoon broke the pall that ep- veloped us and revealed the distant headlands of Plum Island. Before reaching the channel to Gardiner’s Bay, however, the fog again settled down, and another night was spent in great anxiety and no littie discomfort from the crowded condition of the drenched boat, and the total absence of food and drinking water. During the night whistles were heard, and at last the Chase came alongstde. Both steamers aachored, and the men of the Chase, being saturated by the rain and having no protection from the cold night alr, were allowed to exchange places with those on board the Cool. Fortunately the Chase had a few hard crackers on board, which were eagerly devoured by the men, and with a little rain water found in the boats the already severe torments of hunger and thirst were somewhat allayed. Monday morning we reached GARDINER'S BAY and found the two schooners containing the sup- plies and munitions, but no Catharine Whiting could be discovered, Inquiry was made of the lighthouse keeger and of the smacks which visited the vicinity in réiation to the steamslup, but no vessel of that kind had been seen. ‘The situation was critical. The provisions on the schooners were insignificant in quantity (as the Whiting was loaded with that freight) and were buried deep beneath other, and, under the circumstances, tmmovabie material of wa he men had received nothing since leaving New York Saturday night, except a few crackers, and, Indeed, most of them had taken their last meal on Saturday morning, having been lying out all that daf in the wet grass and woods of Staten Iskund and other places of gatrering. A few were sent on shore at Gardiner’s Island for water, which was obtained, together with a small quaniity of sea = birds’ eggs and a bucket of potatoes for the officers. Two of the men who went on the taland attempted to escape, but were overtaken, fired upoa and stop- ped, and all returned to the steamers. The fears of @ serious mutiny now arose, and a council was held itn the cabin of one of the steamers by Sefiors Alfaro, Bassora and the prin- olpal ofticers of the expedition. The Whiting being out of reach it was determined to proceed to New London, fourteen miles distant, for supplies. To do this it was necessary to transfer most of the men to the steamer which should remain, qnd in order to take as few as posslbie who might desert to New London it was proposed that none but Cubans should go with the New London boat. The attempted execution of this plan nearly brought matters to @ disastrous finale, As yet there had been no military organization promulgated, this act being reserved for completion until the Whiting should be at sed with all on board; and no one had the slightest authority except that acquiesced in by the men, in the persons of those who had re- cruited them, and were reported to command them in Cuba. The men, rendered dissatisfied by hunger, thirst and their exposure to the cold storm on the bay, declared that the Cubans were to be taken to New London and tenderly cared for by the two rep- resentatives of the Cuban Junta, while they them- selves were to be left to suffer; and for atime they positively reiused to go on to the Chase until their leader, then absent inspecting the schoouers, shouid assure them that it was all right. Besides, at Sixty-second street, @ young, inexperienced Cuban had thoughtlessly drawn a revolver and ordered back a party of men coming on board, because he thonght the boat was not quite ready to receive them: and another Cuban had on the trip, in a slight altercation, also threatened a wan with his pistol; and the men, arguing that such manifestations were but indications of harsher treatment in Cuba, were on the point of breaking out into a serious disturbance. Colonel Ryan, however, soon quieted the most noisy of the complainaats, and after some deiay the leader of the dissatisfied meu having been bronght across the bay from the schooners, an explanation was made, and the desired transfer was effected, with the exception of about sixty Americans (ifcinding Germans and Irishmen), who decided to remain on the Cool with the Cubans, some fifty in number. We left on the Cool before noon for New London, but the fog again shut down, and notwithstanding that frequent inquiries were made of schooners whom we met, we did not reach the city (only fourteen miles distant) until dark. AT NEW LONDON it was proposed {hat the steamer should anchor out in the stream, aud a small boat, manned by ofiicers, be sent ashore for water and supplies; but this sug- gestion was overruled, and the Cool ran up to one of the old wharves, in a retired piace, but within a cable's length of a United States revenue cutter. In spite of positive orders that no one should leave the steamer except those authorized to go for supplies, in a few. moments a large number of men dashed off and up into the city, This party included the two who had been fired upon in their attempt to escape on Gardiner’s Island and several of the most tnsubor- dinate men ol the party. These were encountered in the streets by the ofiicers, who endeavored to force them back to the boat, but without success, and in a very short time the intelligence of our presence had passed through the city like wildfire, A crowd of citizens assembled on the wharves about the steamer, and several residents of the place urged the vessel to depart as soon aa possible, Just a3 we were about to put off the tug Mabey slipped rapidly in near the Cool, a hurried conversa- tion was had between Messrs. Allaro, Bassora and some person who had come up on the Mabey, and away went the trio again to thetelegraph office to communicate with New York. At first the report was circulated that the Whiting had arrived at Gardiner’s Bay, but the H#RALD correspondent soon learned the disastrous news that she had been seized, and that the expedition was a failure. This was carefully kept a secret from the men, and the Cool leit in a few moments, making all possibie speed for Gardiner’s Bay to save the expedition from capture, which, now that the Whiting had been seized, and the deserters in New London had probably already communicated with the authorities, seemed inevitable. As if the fates were against the Cubans, the pilot of the steamer again lost his way, and day- light found us, after seven hours steaming, in a strange place. Aftera careful survey the position of Gardiner’s Bay was made out, and we hurried on to relieve the guifering men. Great fears were en- tertained that the men whom we had left Monday noon already suffering extremely from hunger, and who had been promised that we should retura from New London before night, had mutinied, seized the Chase end made off with er to some port, ticularly a8 the Mabe had called first at Gardiner’s Bay with the news of the Whiting’s capture. To our surprise, however, we found the men ch 1, and in nowise discontented, Provisions were at once liberally distributed, and a council of oMcers held to determine what should be done. In addition to the Mabey, which had already returned from New London with coal for the Chase, there were then —— in the bay, and belonging to the expedition, the Cool and Chase. the two schoon- erg, and ® small yacht which had also been sent by the Cubans from New York to warn the expedition of the seizure of its steamship. PREPARATIONS FOR RETURNING were immediately commenced. The tug Graham, telegraphed for by Sefior Alfaro from New London, arrived about seven A. M. from New York, and, with the four steamers, there seemed no obstacle in the way of escaping from the perils rapidly envel- oping the expedition. The schooners were ordered to remove to another rendezvous, and about 300 en were left under Colonel Ryan to camp upon Gardiner’s i , While the Cuban managers were to hasten to New York on the Cool and fit out another steamship which they nad in view, and which they thought might be got ready for sea in about sixty hours. The Chase was to remain at the isiand, and the Mabey was to procure additional sup- plies for the men, to last until the expedition might depart for Cuba, About 150 men returned with the Cuban managers on the Cool, and were to be dropped at Whitestone ianding, just this side of Fort Schnoyler. Near this place a rendezvous was to be established, additional recruits were to be obtained, those of the expedition who fatled to get off on Snturday night were to be collected, and it was hoped that ina few days the enterprise would be carried out successfully in every respect. At eight o’clock Tuesday morning the Cool, with Sefiors Alfaro, Bassora, a number of other promi- neat Cubans, the men above referred to, and the HERALD correspondent on board, left Gardiner’s Island tor New York. Every drop of water and ali the food we had was left at the isiand; but the day was fair and smiling, and we pictured to ourselves a quick and pleasant run to New York, good dinners nd the luxury of sleep. THE SRIZURK. Nothing of interest occurred until, jnet as we neared Fort bein be at sundown, the revenue cut- ter Hugh MoCulloch, Captain Merryman, fired a blank cartriage at the approaching Cool, and we caine to a hait. In a moment every one sprang to his feet. From the deck we could see the cutter rapidly coming up, with the biue amoke of her gun floating back past her dark hall, the Sound steamers glidin, away up the river, the Pleasure boats that idly drifted while their charming lady occupants watched us curionsiy; and up on the parapets of the fort, where an assembly thronged about the guns, o sig- nal officer Rang Se hg waving his littie white tag. In a few minutes a boat from the cutter came alongside, @ revenue officar sprang aboard, accompanted ty. two deputy marshals; the at er was hastily searched, and Messrs. Alfaro and Basgora, on being taken into ous- tody, were transferred to the catter Mahoning, Ca) tain Webster, lying @ short distance below the fort, The Cool was then placed alongside the Mahonin; and ey Leggy 9 with a strong guard on boar of her for the night, The representatives of tho press accompanying the expedition, on makin lemselves knowa to Oaptain Webster, were invite on board the Mahoning, and there, to their i i aR 4 é z for the night in the captain's cabin; supper was pees and a plentiful supply of provisions sent on the Cooi to the hungry men. The McCulloch at once returned up the river, and the evening passed off most pleasantly, entivened by frequent communt- gations with Fort Schuyler by means of signals anc rockets, About eleven P. M. the McCulloch returned tothe Mahoning with the Mabey, captured on her way to New York. ‘The latter had a few men on board and soveral boxes of arms and peraonal bag- gage, and after a short examination was anchored astern of the Mahoning. Efforts were made by the United only person authorized to release any one connected with the expedition. Next morning ( the McCulloch took the Cool and Mabey, with Messrs. Alfaro and Bassora on board, to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where they were placed alongside the Whit and a guard of marines put over the ves- sels, About noon General Barlow, the United States Marshal, accompanied by Admirai Godon, Command- ant of of the yard, and District Atio-ney Pierrepoint, visited the. vessels, released the inembers of the press from their irksome confinement, ordered the men to be placed on board the receiving ship Ver- moat and supplied them with provisions. The steamers, as well as the men, are closely guarded, and will probably be joined By the other vessels of the expedition already tn the hands of the authorities. While the events last above mentioned were transptring, the revenue cutter Campbe!l, under orders from the United States Marshal in this city, left New London and seized the vessels at Gardiner’s Island, Colonel Ryan and about 200 men being on shore escaped capture and it ls probable that tho Colonel will not be taken for some time, ifat all.

Many of them are withou' @ change of clothing, as they expected to obtain uniforms on — th arrival in Cuba; but facilities will be given them to communicate with their friends, and to procure whatever may be hecessary to their personal convenience while in confinement. Seiiors Alfaro and Bassora have already sent messages to their accredited represen- tative in thia country, and, relying on the azmpashy of the American people with thelr cause, are hope- ful of regaining their liberty in a short time. The; complain that the seizure of their men and muni- tions at Gardiner’s Isiana is attributable to Colonel Ryan, alleging that he remained at that point against their wishes; but when it is remerabered that such a course was adopted in a council of the officers of the papediins on the subject, and that it was then believed that the chances of the whole party return- ing to New York without being captured were of the faintest character, the course puraued in that re- spect was evidently the better of the two proposi- tions. .In any event the whole expedition was doomed to capture after the selzure of the Whiting and the imprudent visit of the Cool to New London, and whatever complaints the Cubans may have con- Sonning, the action of the oficials who were instru- mental in their capture, it 11 becomes them now to cast imputations, as some are doing, upon those who were Invariably catied upon by them in all cases of extreme emergency throughout the affair, The class of men engaged in this enterprise is far superior to that of any expedition of the kind fitted out in thiscountry. The organization, altnough de- parting w.th only about one-third of the number en- listed, the force on board the vessels not numbering over 500, tt included Cubans of distinguished and wealthy families, and officers who had served with high rank and distinction in our army. Several ex- general oMcers and coloneis were of the party, but as the complete roster of the expedition was never made aed being delayed until should be at sea), an several of the rominent ones did not leave with the expedition, it would be serious injustice to pubiish a list of names of those known only from report to be connected with the undertaking. The behavior of the men, notwitfistanding the occasions of insubor- dination before referred to, Was remarkably good. There was nota pack of cards in the whole expe- dition aud not a singie case of drunkenness, although whiskey was brought on board by the men at New York, at New London and at Gardiner’s Island. Throughout the whole trip, with the exception of two instances, when hunger and long suffering had made the men desperate, the most perfect quiet and harmony prevailed, not a harsh word between the maen reaching the ears of the HERALD correspondent on the trip. ‘The pecuniary loss to the Cubans is very heavy. Five nundred dollars per day were paid to eaen of the three t employed by them, and when the outlays ineut in the chartering of ocean steamers, the purchase of arms, provisions and munitions of war, ‘and the support of their officers and men from the time when they first started the present organiza- tion to its capture are cstimated the figures must amount to @ very large sum. All thelr financial transactions were conducted with the utmost libe- rality, and money flowed frecly whenever required. THE PRESIDENT, yesterday morning, ordered the authorities here to turn over the captured parties to Admiral Godon. uae gre now beyond the juriadiction of the New York officials. ‘This order was sent in reply to Gen- eral Barlow’s despatch to Washington last night asking for instructions, and was signed by the Sec- retary of State.

They abandon the Jast hope of assistance of any kind from the United States, and now say that their only resource is to invite England to establish « protec- torate over the isiand with extraordinary commer- cial privileges, obtain her recognition, and tranefer thetr fleld of operations to her cities and arsenals, ‘The language of the prominent Cubans in New York, as well as of the Cuban leaders of the expedition, is of this tenor, and it is probable that agents, ‘as hinted at to-day by the Cuban prisoggra, will be vent as soon as practicable to confer Witi 44¢ Britich government on this subject. The results of such an bee poral with Engiand can be rea*ily gppre- elated. THE CUBANS IN THE CIlY.

About one o'clock the repairs to the rong re com- pene and after waiting @ short time longer the hiting got up steam and went off down the bay, but was almost immediately brought to by the shots trom the cutter. On Sunday morning Marshal Barlow, with some deputies, came on board and searched the vessel. Most of them identified the General, but they Bet vigorously for Colonel Rypn, without avail. On Monday morn! the Marshal, with his men, agi came on |, and the General was familiarly saluted by one of them. This man, whose name is French, was up to Saturday last @ confidential mossenger of the Junta, and had been entrusted with important verbal and writien in- formation and secrets, and had purchased on behalf of the Junta mul supplies or stores for the fur- nishing of the expedition. When General Goicouria was addressed by him he appeared somewhat surprised, and, looking up at French, asked him if he had turned a traitor to the Cuban cause. French said something about having been treated badty by the Junta, as a plea in defence of his treason. He identified General Goicouria and shortly afterwards General Barlow personally, searched General Goicouria’s satchel, even to the uniolding of his clothing, and the openii of a small paper parcel which contain @ sort of military culinary appliance, in the shape of aknife, fork and spoon combined. The Marshal looked up surprised, and gaid to his prisoner, De General, this looks like camping, doesn’t it?” On the same day the general was brought ashore and lodged in Ludlow street jail. General Goicouria considers the action of Marshal Barlow as lacking in courtesy towards him, ag unsoldierly gn the part of one veteran toward another, and thinks it would haye been much more fitting in him to have directed a Copiiy to do the searching, under his personal supervision. ‘rench, the individual aliuded to above, has since embodied the substance of his meow indie In an atl. davit, upon which the prosecution of General Gol- couria will probably be based, if any prosecution actually follows. ON BOARD THE RECEIVING SHIP some decidedly picturesque scenes were repre- sonted as the rather rough looking crowd of men grouped themselves on the awning deck with the marines on ante around them and the big Parrott Fs a the centre of the motley throng as a centre piece, BOARD OF HEALTH. Hydrophobia=The Dogs Triumph—The New York Rendering Company—Yellow Fever Patients—The East River Nuisances. At the regular weekly meeting of the Board yes- terday there was @ full attendance of members. A large number of matters of minor importance were reported upon and referred to their appropriate committees, It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the Board the report of the Sanitary Committee on hydrophobia was referred to the counsel for an ordi- nance covering the killing of vagrant dogs. In obe- dience to instructions the counsel submitted an ordi- nance to the purport that “no person being the owner or having the custody or right of control of any dog in the Metropolitan district, shall allow the saine to run or be at large beyond the premises of such a person, unless it 1s accompanied by or in the imme- diate bye of such @ master or some one who takes the responsibility of the animal.” Judge Bosworth and other commissioners ex- peoaed the opinion that the ordinance did not cover ihe exigencies of the case, and the subject was re- ferred back to the committee. Inspector Russelb reported that a nuisance was being committed by certain parties in the manufac- ture of gas la @ part of the St. Germatu Hotel. Re- ferred to the Sanitary ane A report was also made as to the condition of Sixth avenue, between Forty-ninth street and Fifty- fourth street, and appropriation made to clean it. On motion of Commissioner Stone, the New York Rendering Company was ordered to appear before the Board and show cause why their license should not be revoked. In the case of Sprague & Close, of Brooklyn, who are accused ot carrying on the manufacture of acétic acid, to the danger of the public health, evidence was ordered to be taken before referee Hasbrouck. Dr. Swinburne reported that all the yellow fever patients on the Saratoga had been transferred five days ago to the Frolic, They had been stri ed and put in new clothes before sucl ransfer, and as but one case had occurred since he suggested that tbe patients be itted t© land. Dr. Hartis concurred in the opinion of the Health Oficer that no danger would Tesult, and the debarkation was left in the hands of these gentlemen. The Sanitary Superintendent submitted several reports, He recommended that the Harlem Railroad Company and the Belt Street Car Company be or- derea to exercise more caution in protecting life at the junction of the two roads on Fifty-ninth street, by placing flagmen there. Referred to the counsel. He further reported that Thompson street had been thoroughly cleansed. Alengthy report on the alleged nuisances foot of Thirty-eighth street, East river, to which attention has been cailed in the HERALD, was also made. It covers the entire subject of the offal docks, bone boiling and other establishments. He supplemented it by the statement that the condition of these places was even Worse than indicated in the criticism of the Sunday HERALD, CHINAMEN IN THE SOUTH Organization of a Company in Arkansas to Promote the Immigration of Chinese Lae borers.: From the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, June 27.) ‘e learn from Governor R, M. Anderson, of Lower Swan lake, Arkansas, that a company cailed the Arkansas River Immigration Company has been organized under the general incorporation act of the State of Arkansas, with Colonel Thomas C. Flourno; as President, R, M. Anderson, Captain John Hall, Benjamin Richardson, Buckley Kimball and General Garrett as directors. At the first meeting two hun- dred and thirty bales of cotton were subscribed, and @ committee of ten were appointed to canvass each and every township in the counties of Jefferson and Arkansas for further subscriptions. Governor Ander- gon informs us that the greatest enthusiasm and unanimity prevails, and that the thing is to bea fixed fact, if money will effect it. ‘The people of Arkansas have set the ball in motion. ‘Will te people of Tennessee, Mississippi and Ala- bama be backward? Their interests are identified with those of Arkansas. More Jaborers we must have, says Governor Anderson, or our fields will grow up in and brambles. Already the negroes are forming combinations to make thelr own terms with their employers next season. But these Ar- kansas gentlemen are determined to checkmate all such. They pave no idea of surrendering at dis- cretion, but, on the contrary, have set the ball in motion in a proper and business like way. They want 2,000 Chinamen, and propose to put the money in New Orleans by the first day of November next to defray their expenses irom China to that port. Will the slipping merchants of New York take notice? Here is a chance to employ all your ships, gentlemen, first in the transportation of Chinese here, and secondly in transporting the fruits ef their labor to foreign countries, Another word to our citizens here and of the sur- rounding country:—Come to the meeting on Wednes- day next, and come prepared to lend aid and coun- sel to the movement which we are about to putin motion, and which we hope will grow and sweil like a great billow. Labor, more labor, bet- ter labor, is what we want and must have. We sin- cerely trust that the neighboring towns will send to Memphis full delegations of thelr solid representa- tive men. This is a question of vast importance, and one which we desire to see treated as it de- serves. Let us follow the noble example of our Arkansas friends. Organize and go to work, and go not let this fair land degenerate into a second jauaica.

Atall the hotels the proprietors, have left nothing undone to please those who visit Long Branch this season. Three years ago Blythe Beach, south of the Stetson House, was known only as farm- ing land. ‘To-day it 1a graded and laid out in Central Park style, and new roads, seventy-five feet wide, are cut through it, and over fifty cottages have been, built and ocoupiea by those who desire quiet and private life, Adjoining this beach 100 acres of wood- land have been cut through for drives, and all the horses at the Branch are seén there dally, The act of the Legislature of 1866 appointing five commia- sioners over Long Branch, giving them power to ap- point a sanitary and police force to protect life and property, to prevent nuisances of all kinds, to incorporate licensed hacks and regulate roads, &c,, have been amply complied with, with the exception of the police force.

The Season Just Commencing—Upper Ten- dom and Splendid Display—The Cottages and How They Look—The Drivee—Brilliant Anticipations. bs Newport, June 29, 1869. The delay was aristocratic. Not that the sun was not sufficiently broiling—not that the delicious breeze, fresh and vvol trom the rolling sea, soothing in its influence and invigorating in its effect, was not inviting; but who ever knew this dignified locality to be “filled,’? as the saying is, at the end of June. Indeed, the very idea is tnsupportable, just as hard to bear—borne with more difficulty by gome—as the choking dust of wealthy, tiff necked Gotham. Had it been otherwise, then Newport would have been in harmony with splurging Long Branch or dashing Saratoga. But, no, Newport is alone, and alone it will remain. The aristocratic are dribbling here in state, and when the great anniversary shall have been honored throughout the land the “season” here will then be- gin. ‘None but the brave deserve the fair,” which, referring to real estate, is perfectly applicable to Newport, for, now, rearing their stavely roofs along the moat beautiful drive to be seen, mansions stand forth in bold array, the representatives of hard cash. There has been displayed a perfect lavishness of money—a courage in the way of dispensing it that ‘warns off all whose hands are tied and whose bank account is shaky. Wealth flourishes, therefore, but there is no squandering; pleasure lives, but gayety is foreign. There ts the love of dignity, but the affec- tion for the “watering place display” is insincere. The probability is that Newport will be crowded, not crammed; but it will take a week or so to bring about that result. The rush, at Jeast the stately step, to hoteis, has not yet been heard upon the gravel walks, but ere long the roll of carriages will make the polished darkies je with elasticity. The cot- tagers—how humble !|—have come and are on their way, ana real estate seems to be sprouting up with rapid progress, No less than 125 cottages, in which many a decent mansion would easily fit, have been disposed of for the season, furnisned, it is said, in rincely style, the rents averaging from $450 to 4,000 for the summer months, three New Yorkers among others having paid the latter sum each. Nearly 300 of the cottages are owned by strangers, who come to reside for a brief period. No less a personage than Mrs. George Francis Train has built ‘@ house at the cost ¥ e Cushing, of Bos- ton, is following in her track. Mr. Robert V. Kim ia erecting @ beautiful mansion on the clifa, and a host of New Yorkers, to whom most of the sales have been made, are looking out for handsome loca- tions whereon to build. Some idea may be conveyed oftne extent of the sales when it is kuown that the rincipal broker has disposed of as much ag $i, o0 worth ina year. And there 1s every in- ication that large purchases in real cstate have yet to come. Beyond question Newport is a charming spot, even with all its so-called dignity. The suburbs of the city are enchanting, while the surrounding elements combine to render it o truly inviting place. The drive, which was formerly confined to Bellevue avenue, now extends over ten miles from the Ocean Honse far away along the beach—a work Which occupied Mr, Smith ten years. But it is not the drive, but the driven, that constitute the rand attraction. There 18 style, and capital it is, ven now, perhaps three weeks before the regular season sets In, the broad road Is alive with the best of stock, ang stock, too, that seem to know their own importance. When the cool and refreshing breeze sweeps gently in the afternoon through the rich and luxuriant follage, which dofles successfull; the rays of the burning sun, Bellevue avenue ts a pre’ ty ight rich in its contents and bicgaraane In its dis- play. Here we have the stately carriage with the vigl- lant yet ever tender parent, head erect, and dignified, iil concealing @ pardonable pride which the appear- ance of her charming offspri rovokes. ‘Then there is the gray-eyed lady with the flery tongue, sharp in her reproof to.the shining negro who gits behind and ready with the whip on the nobie fnt- mals that pranceso nicely. Afterwards may be seen the quiet and appropriate phaeton, wicker ones especially, with a quiet couple and a quiet family of two. And so they move along right joyously, though the curl on many a lip disdains applause, But the good old days seem to have fled from New- port—the bright old time, in a watering place point of view, when everybody knew everybody else, and whether he did or not it was all the same, for he was sure to have met him somewhere, This is what the oldest inhabitant says, and he isan authority on ull subjects, There cer- tainly does seem to very littie of the ‘Tou, Dick and Harry, witle the “hail fellow well met’ busi- ness is long ina state of insolvency. As for balis and other social reunions, there are not so many in public ag might be supposed, but are rather confined to private, dignified receptions. But the time does come when the season here is brilliant and enliven. ing, and the arrival of the New York Yacht Squad- Ton mT therefore, always anticipated with pleasure. Speaking of yachts, there was to have been a race between the Gracie and the Sadie, from For Adatf to Block Island and back, for a service of plate valued at $500, Neither contestant epyeered, owing, probably, to the severe weather on the day preceding. The Metoor and Sappho left here this morning about twelve o'clock, bound for New York, with Ss aca breeze that spread their canvas to the wind, Until after the anniversary—which will be celebrat- ed here on eeatiar in an appropriate manner—the summer hotels will not assume their wonted ac- in, The Ocean House presents Waray Summ aspect, and several receptions will #ho!

More Mystery Surround- ing the Case. The audacious and mysterious robbery of the Ocean Bank on Monday has been the three dage’ wonder in the community. Depositors who lost the whole or portion of their funds had given them up for lost, the bank ofigials were afloat on @ sea of doubt as to what: proceedings should be taken to recover their property; the detective cogitated upen the firat steps to be taken to unveil the mystery that surrounded the burglary; but ere ang definite line of action had been resolved upon, and while the Superintendent of Police and the officers‘of the bank were still in almost hourly consultation, the thieves stole a march upon them, and still more astonished them by voluntarily sur- “rendering the greater.portion of the stolen property. Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, officer Patrick Donohue was leisurely patrolling his post on Bliza- beth street, when, under a lamp-post opposite No. 6, two boys walked out of the darkness. hey ap- proached Donohue, who inquired thelr namea and the cause of their being out at that hour. They gave their names as John Koelten, of No. 8 Franklin street, and John Gowan, of No. 203, Catharine street, and asked him to acvompany them down the street, Opposite No. 8 Elizabeth street they stopped suddenly, pointed toa small and singularly looking trunk, Donohue stooped and examined it. Natled upon the lid was card, upon which was written “Captain Joufdaa, Sixth ward.’ Donohue hesitated for a moment aa ' to what course to pursue. His first Impression was that some inhuman mother had taken this means of presenting his captain with a dead infant, Finally he picked up tho trunk, which was quite light, and: led the way to the Franklin street station house, followed by the boys, Arriving there Captain Jourdan was called outjof bed, broke open the box, when behold! he stepped back in astonishment, It was filled with treasure. Amore minute examination showed that the trunk contained about bt 44 one missing bonds and Soy toon ae Buperintendent Kennedy dtrived at his ofmce Uaptain Jourdan arrived and entered his room. The door was carefully locked to keep out intruders, and a minute examination made of the pporty. |. It was found that the trunk contained $142, in bonds and securities, $120,172 79 in checks on.sun- dry banks, $82 50 in coupons detached from bonds, $475 in old issues of the Ocean Bank, and $41 in old issues of other Speen pores a total of $268,021 20.

One check on the Ocean Bank for $4,000, Checks on various city banks, ranging from $100 to $2,000, and $511 in the old issue of the bank. The box also contained a large number of valuable apers, such as deeds, mortgages, &c., belonging to ir. Martin, the president of the bank. ‘The bank officials were at once summoned bv tele- ph, and by half-past ten Mr. Davies, counsel of he institution, was at the Central Office, where he remained closed with the Superintendent until late in the afternoon. His pleasure can be better tma- ‘ined than described. What transpired within the juperintendent’s room cannot of course be known, bat it is understodd that, having recovered pearly all the stolen property, the bank officials are not very anxious to learn who were their ingenious visitors. Among the bonds stolen were the following, for the recovery of which Amos Birdsall, of No. 104 Murray strect, offered a reward of $1,000, which if found in the parcel will fall to Captain Jourdan and his officer:—United States cor pons five-twenty bonds, 18¢ $500, No. 5,707; $100, Ni $100, No. 10,374; $100, No. 10,373; $100, No. $500, No. 15,444. 1867—$1,000, No. 174,494; No. 174,495; $1,000, No. 174,496; $1,000, No, 174,497; $100, No, 203,558; $100, No. 203,559; $50, No. 113, That the thieves should take this method of re- storing unnegotiable property Is positive evidence that they are stlil"jn the city and entertain no fear of detection, Still it is by,no means certain that they may not be secured. Ohief Kelso, good as has been his past reputation, cannot afford to allow th thieves to remain here securely to prey upon otne banks, and he, his officers and Captain Jourdan will, no doubt, have an additional incentive to unravel the mystery that sur- rounds this last and most singular and Successful bank robbery. Indeed it is whispered about the Central Office that important facts have been ascertained that are likely to be productive of interesting developments ere many days. All the circumstances point to complicity of some ) person connected with the bank who was familiar with the location of the property of the corporation, which wag touched lightly, and it is not Improbable that one or more persons Who at present feel that no suspicion has been attracted towards them will very soon find it advisable to “take a trip into the country.”” TAX COMMISSIONERS’ OFFICE. ‘There was much tribulation at the office of the Tax Commissioners yesterday.
