EMIGRATION. Official Visit to the Institutions on Ward's Island=Foreign Consuls Inspecting the Ese tablishments. . ‘Yhe question of foreign emigration has, during the past few years, forced itself upon the attention of the community to such an extent that everything con- nected with the subject possesses an interest which demands the consideration of all who study the progress and future greatness of this nation. The services of the Commissioners of Emigration of the State of New York, in ridding the entrance of emigrants to this port of the horrors which formerly attended it, and which acted so forcibly in deterring the flow of emigration, are too well known, and their good results so universally appreciated as to render any allusion to them here wholly unnecessary. Giving their time and atten- tion, as they do, Without any pecuniary recompense, to providing for the comort and sustenance of the poor emigrants, who seek e @ fue ture home, and fostering and caring for them, in sickness and = In want, until they become integral parts of the popular eover- eignty, the Commissioners perform a world of good in contributing to the prosperity of the country. When, therefore, the Commissioners invite @ alrect examination tato the manner and working of we institutions provided by them for carrying out the intent of the laws tn regard to emigration, it is but natural to suppose tho invitation would be only too largely accepted. The Coinm!asioners, 1a view of the impending negotiations to regard to the subject of emigration between Svates of Unitea Ger- many and this country, invited the representatives: of the former nationality and their friends to mect them and examine the institutions under their charge. Accordingly @ large party assembied yea- terday morning at Castle Garden, and shortly after noon embarked on the steamer Birkbeck and ataried for Ward's Island, The company comprised Dr. Koesing, Consul General of the North German Union; Count Baluslawsky, Austrian Vice Consul; the representatives of the German Steamship Com- pany, officers of the German socieues, Professor Spen af the College of the City of New York; Professor Joy, of Columbia College; Senator Wilkin- son, of Minnesota; Messrs, W.

Verplanck, Richard O'Go. man, Frederick Kapp, Isaac 7. Smih, Cyrus H. Loatrell and Philip Bissinger.

They were escorted through every department on the island—tho retuge, hospitals, nurseries, chapela, workshops, bakebouses, engine rooms aud othors—and expressed themselves highly pleased and agreeably astonished by the method, eleanit- ness aiid comfort Which seemed to pervade in over: Aetay os tue * artmegia, after @ very thgroug! had been removed Mr. G.

Yesterday was one of much interest in the Essex county Court of Oyer and Terminer, now in session at Newark, N. J., to the community in general and to a large brigade of criminals who had violated =the laws of New Jersey, during the past six montis in particular. Before afull bench, consisting of Judge Depue, presiding, and Associate Judges Teese, Guild, Ise and Williams, and @ crowded court room, over sixty criminals, convicted at the present term, were arraigned for sentence, The major portion of the cases were of a minor character, Of the more important ones A MAGISTRATE CONVICTED OF EXTORTION was among the first of particular interest. The prisoner was Justice John McKinney, of Plane street, Newark, Who was indicted and found gutity of extortion in charging one Michael Fields the sum of three dollars for issuing a warrant, &c., whereas, in the event of the complaint being entertained by the Grand Jury (which it was not), he was legally entitied to only twenty-five cents. In passlug sentenco Judge Depue took occasion to express bis sorrow that @ magistrate of Newark should be brought before the Court on such @ charge. The plea offered by the prisoner, that he had only acted according to the custom of the Newark justices generally, was very properly cast aside by the Grand Jury. It had come to the kuowledge of the Court that the prisoner before the bar had been carrying on such criminal practices for a considerabie time ast, not only in connection with persons of means, But those of the poorer classes. No less than sixty- eight similar transactions had been discovered, in each of which the prisoner might haye been indicted, His honorfurtier took occasion to remark that go prevalent had such practices vecome that at the next term he would charge the Grand Jury on ‘unis very subject. Many of the complaints taken by justices were taken on the most frivolous grounds and solely with a view to extort exorbitant vor ite McKinney w: ‘hen sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars and costs of court, The remarks of tue pre- siding judge were listened to with brenthiess atten. tion, g@ the cage is probably the frat of the kind that before the court aad therefore furnished a recedent. INE SENSATION, Christian George, a weil dressed, rather good look- ing German, of about thirty-five, against whoim no less than thirteca indictments for burglary, larceny and receiving had been found,, on each of which he was tried and convicted, 18 the individual who was chiefly implicated in Jong series of burg lavies perpetrated during @ period of many months in the township of Bloomfield and vicinity, The ee having boen placed before the bar Judge Jepue proceeded to pass a sentence of trea years for every Indictment util he came to the last, when he said ten, In the meantime the hitherto hardened criminal completely lost lia self-control and wept like achtiid at the prospect of spending forty-s'x years in tho State Prison, while the vast concourse of spectato! present were likewise deeply moved, Wien hte Honor arrived at the “ten,” however, ho = added the word “concurrent,” which virtually reduced the whole term of servitude to ten ye: Judge Depue re- marked that crime of this character was becoming so rife in the township that it was necessary to make @ wholesome example of some one. George reured from the court room with comparatively @ light heart, A eonfrere of his, named Jolin Ritter, who had been similarly convicted, was likewise sen+ tenced to ten years in the State Prison. A CIVIL WAR, John, William and Benjamin Galbraith, brovhers, togetucr with their gister, Jane Coyer, & married woman, were soverally arraigned for sentence on a charge of assault end Led a | on their father, ap old gray haired foriat of nearly fourscore im, named JamesGalbraith. During last summer old man left his home on account of some trifiing family disagreement, and on his returning & Jew weeks alter to take possession, the prisoners Pected him, and in the scuffle one of the brothers red a pistol, which, however, went wide of the old gentleman. The citcumstances attending the mat- ter, a9 well ag the trial of the accused, created a great deal of interest from their peculiarity as Well ag the respectable standing of the parties. In ig Sentence Judge Depue severely admonished the younger Gaibraiths and characterized their action in endeavoring to deprive their own father of a property that had been secured through long years of labor and toll. Jon, who tired the pistol, pe a $100; William, $10, and the others $25 AN ETHIOPIAN-HIBERNIAN EPISODE. Titus Doremus, a strapping young African, and Mary Haggerty, a buxom damsel from the “Green isle,” Were both emplowed in an eating saloon on Broad street, Newark. One day, a few months ago, Titus, during the absence of the proprietor, made desperate love to Mary, and finaliy demonstrated his aifection by knocking her down. Titus was arresied on a charge still graver, and was found guilty of assault and battery with intent to perpetrate a atill more heinous crue.

ANOTHER STATEMENT BY BURKE, THE CONDEMNED, — In addition to the statement previously published in the HEnaLy, made by David Burke, the condemned murderer of Thomas Cane at Hunter's Point, we are possession of the following version. He 5 ‘1 had saved two barreis of oll and had rolled thei ays:— to the corner of the hotel op- posite the fire; I had rescued a_ third and rolled it to the same place; [ then discovered that the other two had been removed; a young man who was standing In a store door told me to roll the barrel in there; I Jooked in and saw the two barrels I nad rescued; [ told him I would tell the owner in the morning; the young man struck me with some hard inscrument and knocked me down; I was knocked down three times in succes- aion; two other young men helped to beat me; one of them kept a pistol conitaually pointed at iny head; I thought my life wasin danger, and I was deter- tmined to defend it; I drew my pistol and one barrel accidentaliy exploded; I was knocked down again; I then discharged onc of the barrels; I could not see at whom I fired, as the street was full of smoke; L gid the act purely in self-defence.” His friends and those who believe this statement to bo true have prepared a petition to be presented to the Governor asking for his respite, and ithas already received many prominent signatures, THE M‘COOLE-ALLEN BAITLE. A Visit to the Glaus Training Quarters— How He Looks, Acts and Feels, {From the St. Louis Republican, Uct. 26. The approaching fight between Mike McCoole and Tom Allen. to come off within O{ty miles of Cin- cinnati on the 10th of next month, 1s already attract. ing the usual amount of conjectures, surmises and attention et the hands of the devotees of the prize ring. Jadging from the tone of the Cincinnati press, Allen las namerous friends there, but concerning the fistic giant McCoole bat little las been said. Being an advocate of fair play, we yesterday paid a visit to the chieftain at his headquarters at the Fair- fleld House, about four miles out on Grand avenue, near the Fair Grounds, arriving 10 time to find him just emerging from his custoi ry bath alter his morning's exercise. It was here McCoole trained for the Coburn “mill,” and its remoteness from the bustle of the city and healthy location are admirably adapted to the work of developing muscle for the contests of the ring. THE INTERVIEW. Approaching from Grand averue we had no trou- ble in finding the place, for above it Noated a large American flag, and across it in ample letters was ainted, “McCooie’s Headquarters — Traming round,’ We waiked into the bar and sitting room and made known our bnainess to a consumptive- looking gentleman and Were informed that McCoole was just closing his morning’s exercises at the bath and would soon be in. While walting Thomas Kelly, one of his trainers and seconds, a light built, active pleasant fellow by the way, came in, and we had just commenced that pumping process ior which reporters are proverbial, when Mike “putin an ap- pearance,” looking more likea sturdy, hearty far- mer than the noted bruiser, whose fame in that line ig familiar ja both hemispheres, Of course we intro- duced ourself, commenced business, and found him by no means backward in answering questions and giving all information possible upon tne subject of training, health, &c. He 1s evidently used to anawer- ing questions, and the repiles come out directiy and to the point. WIS TRAINING. McCoole is in charge, 80 to speak, of James Haley, asomewhat formidable kulgit of the P. R. by the way, and considered one of the best trainers in the country, and Mr. Thomas Kelly, mentioned before. McUCoole has now been in preparatory exer- cise for the “mill” some two months, When ho commenced his weight was 243}3 pow and as he stands fail six feetin his stockings, the reader who hever saw him can form some adequate Idea of his appearance. his weight now, of course, is a secret, robably known to none but himself. ie adinits, owever, that it 18 very hard work to reduce him- seif tothe requisite point for work in the ring, but he 1s being reduced, and yesterday he looked In ad- mirable condition. His skin has that heaithy rosi- ness about it which betokens excellent healih aud no dissipation. Jndeed, he iformed us that when he got ready to fight Coburn he was in as good con- dition ag he ever was in his life, and now he felt full ag wellas then, His trainers told us also that he ‘was in splendid plight and deliy improving. He sleeps on & good mattress, with pleniy of warm covering, rises promptly at five o’clock in the morn- ing, rala or shine, and immediately proceeds to a shed room on the rear of the lot, about ten by twelve, where he exercises with the dump bells, a suspended sandbag weighing about 420 pounds, can- non balls and two heavy bags attached to cords run- ning overa pulley, This exercise 1s contiuued for about naif an hour, and is done to develope the muscle of the arm, the flesh on which now feels like buckskin stretched over marble. After this he wraps himself up as warm a8 possible and muses up bis face so asto be hardly discernivie, for the purpose of producing profuse perspiration, and starts out for hig four-mile walk—two in and two out, Re- turning, he undergoes @ salt-water bath and under. goes a pretty severe scrubbing and rubbing process, sumMciently rough, indeed, to take tne skin off almost any vtber man but him. After the bath he Grosses Warmiy again and rests awhile, and then breakfasts moderately on beef or mutton, with trimmings—the meat, of course, always Tare, His diet fs substantial, and varies but litte from that of a laboring man, although probably he docs not eat as much, After breakfast comes a rest of an hour or 80, or until one o’clock, when he dons his walking shoes, each weighing about five pounds, | and, accompanied by one or both of his walners, and well muiied up, he starts out on a walk of from thirteen to sixteen miles—and as a walkist he is a decided success, A day or 80 ago, when the Naturai Bridge road, and, indeed, ali the roads about (he suburbs of the city, were ia a muddy, silppery condition, he walked fourteen miles in one hour and fifty minutes, loaded down as he was with the heaviest of clothing, Aud sald he telt so litue fatigued that he could nave repeated 1. in the same time. His powers of endurance are astonishing. On his return from the walk he enjoys a short rest, then eats supper, and a short time after supper comes another walk of two or three miles. | He never ventures out after the dampness of even: | ing sets ia, and is in bed promptly at eight o'clock. These ave lis everyday exercises, rain or sling, MEMORANDA, For a short time after he went out to ihe Fairfleld House the training was pretty severe for him. It Was hard to get used to the systematized work of reducing Weight, and at the same time develop the muscles; besides, It was a dificult matter to wean himself from the inactivity of @ eity life; but he soon ‘came down to the work,’’ 8o to speak, and when we saw him he was tho personification of health and strength, McUoole of the city and Mo Coole of the ring ace two diferent individuals, THe speaks contidently of ‘getting away’ with Allen, but alluded to Lis antagonist m complimentary | terms. There is, however, in the coming mill, on the part of be these puguists, an earnest determi- Dation to come out victorious.

PARIs, Oct. 13, 1809, We are assured by the English papers that this wonderful capital has re-assumed its usual aspect, This is, however, not the case, but it is retaliation, for when fog 1s 80 dense in London that one could cut a slice out of the atmosphere Paris papers are sure to cai! that the usual aspect of Albion. Our gay cily, our imperial Paris, the gem of Bue rope, I may say (being just picking up expletives for my journey to the East), is very fail, and the sup over the Seine is glorious. The eye only of an initiated observer could notice that the pop- ulation crowding down the quays and boule- yards is a bomade one, made up of yprovin- cials taking a holiday, of British tourists and American birds of passage. This is not how pedy ple look when the Empress is not in the East and Napoleon III, not at Complegne. ‘There 1s more dash then in the .equipages which fly by—there ts more inthe whip of the flacre drivers, there is not s9 much patchouli but more violets in the air.
