AMUSEMENTS. Fourth Philharmonic Concert. AS a matter Of course, as is always the case this season with this society, the concert of the Philharmonic Society last night at the Acad- emy of Music was crowded to excess. Still ft was not by any means equal to its prede- cessors in @ musical point of view.

THE LONG ROOM. The Long Room is really a long room. It extends from Broad street to New, 1s dimly lighted, 18 badly Jaid out and is altogether unfitted for the uses for which it‘was destined. Nevertheless 1t is a large and roomy apartment, curiously constructed, no doubt, bur stil, in a great measure, made available for the transaction of business, fhe stranger feels strangely overcome on entering the institution by hearing @ rumble of voices, such as in the open air would immediately suggest the prevalence of a street fight.

Investigation by the Legislative Committee— Startling Developments—Vermin, Filth and Insufficient Food the Cause of the Late Riot, In accordance with the resolution of the House of Assembiy adopted on Thursday the Committee on Commerce aud Navigation, of which Mr, Law- rence D. Kiernan 1s chairman, made an official visit to Ward's Island yesterday for the purpose of inquir- ing into the causes of the late riot there and taking evidence as to the management of the Emigrant In- stitution. The committee embarked on board the Steamer Be Iiview, at the foot of Twenty-sixth street, East river, at eleven o'clock, and arrived at Ward’s Island shortly alter. Commissioner Bell, several rep- resentatives of the press and a number of gentlemen interested accompanied the committee. Before pro- ceeding to take testimony Mr. Kiernan suggested thus the committee should first inspect the different deparcments of the institution and judge for them- selves as to its cotdition, Accordingly, under the guidance of Mr. Wells, the superintendent, and Dr. Joun Dwyer, the assistant surgeon, the committee and the other visitors made a thorough inspection of every department, and interrogated several of the inmates of the institution as to the cause of the re- cent riot. To say that they were surprised at what they saw would ve putting it too mildly. They were norrified at the many evidences of mismanagement and gross neglect of the wretched people committed to the tender mercies of the superintenaent, Mr. Wells bad fair warning that the committee of thaLegisiature Were coming, and, as the sequel proved, avalled himself of it to the utmost. While, therefore, the inspection showed disgraceful. treat. meut of the emigrants, it may weil be supposed that had the visitors come unannounced a still more SHAMEFUL CONDITION OF AFFAIRS would have been discovered. The male inmates had inished their midday meai wien the committee ar- rived on the island, but fortunately the females had not dined, Entering the dining hall just a8 tue Wouen were cailug, une committee nad a fair op- portunity of inspecting the food. A row of tin platters was placed on either side of a long deal table, before which the women Were seated on forms, Diminutive, dirty bits of meat, that might be either beef or mutton, flanked by a ladietul of boiled oatmeal, thin, dark and nauseating in appear- ance, hid the sheen of the tm plates; the caps of white, weak, watery soup flanked tne plates, and a slice of bread of stepmother cut was the piece de resistance. Not @ knife, fork or spoon was to be see on the table. The women looked up with caeerful faces as they entered, and waule the latter stood by speculating as to how the 100d was to ve disposed of they commenced to eat. It was A MOST DISGUSTING EXHIBITION, ‘The women sunk their (too oiten dirty) Angers in the mush, grabbed @ piece of the meat and ate ravenously. Tuere were some, however, pinched, hungry looking creatures who drank down the Swill Cailed soup Irom their tins, ate the bread and det the meat and mush untasted.
