Annual Report of the Commissioners of Emigra- tion—Great Excess of Last Year Over 1868—Interesting Statistics. The annual report of the Commissioners of Emi- gration is rapidly approaching completion, and has already advanced far enough to enable the HeraLp to give an accurate synopsis of its contents. During the year 1869 tne total number of alien passengers arriving in New York was 258,989—an excess of 303 over that of 1868, and 75,309 more than the average of former years. Among the different na- tionalities embraced in the emigrants of last year, Germany 18 represented by 99,605, Ireland by 66,204, and England by 41,090 persons; and it is shown that while the German emigration has slightly fallen off, the emigration from England has increased over 33 per cent, and that from [reland nearly 50 percent, THE MEDICAL STATISTICS indicate a steady improvement in the health and condition of arriving emigrants, the number of in- mates in the Ward’s Island hospitals being less than that of 1868, notwithstanding the mcrease of last year’s emigration, This is attributable to the sub- stitution of steamers for sailing vessels in bringing over emigrants, there being 443 arrivals of emigrant steamers last year against 22 steamers in 1856, There were 186 births and 343 deaths on board emigrant vessels during tile year. Of the latter 101 were adults, and 242 were children, The principal points of destination taken by the incoming passengers were as follows:—California, 3,808; Illinois, 38,213; lowa, 8,216; Massachusetts, 8,384; Michigan, 7,218; New Jersey, 8,101; New York, ¥5,810; Ohio, 12,180; Pennsylvania, 32,185; Wiscon- sin, 17,003, During the year 2,327 Mormons arrived, 6,744 leiegraphic despatches were received, aud sent by emigrants, 9,999 letters were written for them, and $60,649 were sent to the Commissioners in anucipation of the arrival of emigrants. Employ- ment was Be for 34,955 emigrants—nearly 4,000 more than the previous year—of whom 5,594 were mechanics, 17,250 agricultural and unskilled laborers, 738 skilled female lavorers and 11,673 house servants. These figures show eaugte falling of hom those Of 1868 im the two latter branches, MANY RBPATRS AND ADD! have been made to tue building at Ca: Garden. A large portion of the dock bas been enclosed ana roofed for convenience ta handling baggage; a wait- ing room has been arranged for We use of rail pas- sengers, aud new bulldings provided ior ihe oMicers of the janding agent, the pohoe and the Custom House inspectors. A new baggage room hag been constructed, a temporary hospitat iuied up for ewigrant cases of Sickness nnd a new Wooden balcony constructed around tne outside of the rotunda, These buildings are insured tn $45,000, and the baggage which may be on hand is kept con. tinualiy insured for $50,000. fhe Commissioners complain of the unsatisfactory police arrangement at Castle Garden, and recom- menu that the force be increased aud placed directly under the control of the Castile Garden authorities, The diMiculties arising in the settlement of vastardy cages are also referred to, but no plan 13 proposed for remedying the eviis atiending their adjudi- cation. WARD'S ISLAND haa undergone some improvements during the year in the erection of new buildings and ine repair of others. ‘The gross proceeds from the farm attached to the institution amounted during the year to $10,684 75. fhe following table gives in 88 compacta form as may be the most important statistics of the State Emigrant Refuge and Hospital on the island:—Num- ber of Inmates In institution January 1, 1869, 2,001; admitted during the year, 11,471; virths during the year, 439; total number cared for, 3.

YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1870. FINANCIAL AND. COMMERCIAL, Walt Stkerr, THuRSDAY, March 10-6 P, M. } The feature of interest in Wall streev to-day was the decided REACTION IN THE GOLD MARKET, based upon the withdrawai of the bearish Influences of prominent foreign banking houses, who are in high auageon because Congress has decided to strike out the section of the Funding bill providing for the establishment of agencies and the payment of interest in the principal cities of Europe. Inas- much, however, as this action will gave the govern- ment at Jeast vwenty-five millions during the first year it remains to be seem whether the world at large will opine, as these American agents of foreign banking nouses do, and regard the new bonds as worth any the fess because they are not hawked about England, France and Germany for disposal. This matter being decided the Funding bill progressed in the Senate until it reached that section which offenas the virtuous na- tonal banks, by requiring them to exchange ther present collateral bonds for the new issues, It tg curious the power which these m- stitutions wield. The obstacle led to a protracted aepate and is likely to keep the bill in suspense for aconsiderable time—and all because the national banks In their greediness of gain refuse to take less than six per cent on collateral securities which in justice should bear no interest atall. Gold in tne morning had sold as low as 11034 on the improved quotation—9134—for five twenties in London, we foreign exchange market being dull.and steady at the declined rates of yesterday. In the afternoon, upon the reports of the action had upon the Fund ing bill, the market became strong and rather ex- cited on the upward movement, the price of 11234 being finally attained. The course of the market is Holders of gold paid from two to six per cent to have their balances carried. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleare ++ $87,684,000 Gold balances........ 1800, 791 Currency balances 2,086,370 STOCKS ACTIVE AT THE CLOSE. The stock market again underwent its parallel fluctuation in sympathy with gold. In the earlier hours of business it was extremely dull and heavy, the tendency to a decline manifesting itself quite sharply when gold feli to 110}¢. At this period Northwestern preferred, which, by its activity, was the chief feature of the day, went off to 8634 and Rock Island to 119. The latter was comparatively heavy in the subsequent buoyancy and advanced only to 11934 when the general list moved up three- quarters to one per cent, ‘The “bulls” kept their eyes fixed on the gold dial and cheered asthe price went up, for they have had a very dangerous expe- rience of it in carrying such an enormons load of stocks, and every advance in premium brought them fresh hope of eventual extrication from their present predicament. When gold touched 112%; the market was strongest, bringing out sellers from the ranks of the more timid ‘buils,” who got in tne boat with the cliques and were for the first time afforded a Under these sales and the offerings of a new short interest prices fell off 1n final street business. In the miscellaneous list Mariposa preferred was strong on a rumor of the adjustment of some legislation affecting the corpora- tion.

SOUTHEMN SECURITIES STRONG AND ACTIV. ‘The unsafe character of railway and misoeilaneous atooks, pending the rearrangement of values oa the goid basis, has diverted considerable attention to the low priced and hitherto comparatively inactive bonds of te Southern States, At this time titere 1s also @ steady demand from Europe—wiere it is dimcult to make people understand why the se- curiies of these Sfates ave not as safe as the bonds of the Confederation. The Louisianas and Vuirginias have within the first few months been especial favorites adroad, but the advance in thelr price bas now turned the investment demand to the reat of the list, and to the Alabamas to particular. The five per cents rose to 72 and the eight per cents to 98, the latter bemmg fora time scarce below 100. ‘The South Carolinas were the next seature in this activity, the gold bonds being strong at 91, The Virginias were lower on gales to realize the recent remarkable advance. The new Tennessees were firm and the North Carolinas steady.
