Galvoston and other ports, which would swell the aggregate of immigration into this country from abroad for the last three months to at least a hundred thousand souls, to say nothing of the influx of the “heathen Chinee” into California, A noticeable and gratifying feature in the list of immigrants into this port is the number of practical men who are seeking these shores for their future homes. A large proportion of the entire number are farmers, and one-fifth of the entire number are Ger- mans. The immigration from Ireland is more than one-half less than that from Germany. ‘The Board of Audit and Apportionment. The State Senate yesterday passed the bill ‘creating a temporary Board of Audit, as pre- viously passed by the Assembly, but striking out the name of John Cochrane, President of the Board of Aldermen, and leaving in the Comptroller and Presidents Stebbins and Van Nort, Senator O’Brien made his maiden ‘speech on the occasion, and in a few plain, emphatic words urged the propriety of the rep- resentation of the legislative department of the city government on any Board of Apportion- ment. He reminded the Senate that John Cochrane was a representative man, elected by the people in the great contest for muni- cipal reform, and as such w:s better entitled to the confidence of a reform Legislature than any appointed officer. The people of New York will endorse Senator O’Brien’s position and will regard the omission of the President of the Board of Aldermen from the Board of Apportionment as an unfor- tunate beginning of the work of reform, brought about, as ‘it undoubtedly was, by par- tisan intrigue. John Cochrane has, however, wisely withdrawn his name from the indecent partisan scramble, and so the Assembly will to-day concur in the Senate amendment to their bill. An Uaty Brow To Amnesty.—Fred Doug- lass, the veteran colored apostle of emancipa- tion, has been snubbed by the clerk of a hotel fo St. Louis and denied accommodations asually extended to respectable travellers, In this the St. Louis hotel clerk made a blunder. Fred Douglass is a representative man of bis class and color. He behaves himself decenily, and; no doubt, laves himself as frequently as many of the white guests who patronize hotels or sponge upon hotel landlords. The emanci- pation of the colored race and their elevation to all the political rights and prerogatives of white people have given the colored man a political position which the constitution recog- nizes and the laws of the republic enforce, We fear this blunder on ‘he part of the St. Louis hotel clerk will have a damaging effect upon the general amnesty bill now before Congress.

As regards the case of Christiana Edmunds, in ad- dition to the charge of wilful murder of a man, there were also three charges against her of attempting to murder other parties by poisoning, and on account of the excitement that prevailed at Brighton, where all the offences were alleged to have been commit- ted, the indictments were, by an order of the Court of Queen’s Bench, under the provisions of a special act of Parliament, removed to the Central Criminat Court of England for trial, The prisoner was then broaght into custody at Newgate.

The bana of the Prince of Wales Rifles, which was in the building at the ume, bad a very narrow escape, and only got off ‘with their hives by rushing into one of the armories, the roof of which had luckily, as the event now proves, been strengthenea. ‘rhe rool gave way near the Craig street end, and the break extended for about two hundred feet, the towers being considerably shaken, rendering 16 apealely uecessary that the front should be taken jown, 1¢ would seem that the damage will amount to about twenty thousand dollars. It is almost a miracle that there was no loss of life, as one or two regiments drill nightly in the building.

Wat DEPARTMENT, OFFics oF THK CutEy SIGNAL OFFICER, WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan, 26—1 A. M. Synopsis for the Past Twenty-four Hours. ! The area of highest barometer, which was Wednes- day night in Missouri and Kansas, has moved southeastward into Tennessee and Mississippi, with rapidly diminishing pressure. An area of low ba- rometer has moved southeastwara into the lower St. Lawrence valley and Maine. Southwest and west winds have prevailed in the Middle and Eastern States, increasing to high winds on the lower lakes, with cloud and snow, which latter have, however, very generally cleared away. The pressure has fallen rapidly in the Northwest, with rising temperature and southwest winds. North- easterly winds, with rain, have prevailed on the Gulf coast, and now extend, with snow, northward to North Carolina, Pleasant weather continues on the California coast. The storm on the lower lakes has been severest at Buialo. Probabitities, ‘The high barometer in the Southern and Gulf States will probably continue to fall on Friday, with continued threatening weather and rain; the area or lowest pressure, with southwest winds and threat- enipg weather, move eastward over Maine; clear weather with westerly winds continue for a short time only from Virginia to New York and Ohio, fol- lowed by cloudy weather and possibly snow on Fri- day night from the Middle States westward to the ‘AMissiasippt. Dangerous winds are not anticipated to-night for the Atlantic coast, Westerly winds will probably diminish in New York State; increasing southwest winds prevail irom the upper lakes \o the Missouri, Supplementary Wei © Report.

Right royaily did the mempera of the New York Caledonian Club :ast evening celebrate, at their Club House, 118 Suilivan street, the Listh natal an- niversary of Robert Burns, Tnough often the scene of festive mirth, the rooms of the Club have rarely Presented a livelier or gayer spectacle, Everybody entered with an ardor ico the spirit of the occas Sion. Caledonia’s great and favorite bard was most fittingly remembered and his momory most enthu- Siastcally commemorated, Early in the evening the rooms were thronged by the members and their wives—those who have wives—and those who have not bringing with them their most approved bon- nie lasses, Un every side were evideuces of the unceasing strong hoia Kovert Burns tas on the hearts and afections of his countrymen, In the well filled library are his books tn every style of type and form of binding.

The programme of the evening opened with the band of music in attendance striking up that sweetly musical Scottish national air, the ‘ Karl of Old Gaul,” while, keeping time with its measured cadences, the company marched to their places at the three long tables running longitudin.ly with the ball, A fourth table ran at right angles with that at the head of the room, at which were seated the officers of the Club and the orators and singers of the evening. Still farther along, on an elevated platform, was stationed the band—and an unexceptionally fine band it was, and discoursed from its concourse of instruments the choicest Svotch melodies in the highest style of Scotch art. After all had seated themselves at the table, and grace had been uttered by Rev. William Mitchell, then followed a tumult and fragrant Havanas burning, tew felicitous remarks, congratulatory of cess which was already assured for the ment, as well ag of the special occasion occasioned their gathering. Im the course of his re marks he said:—“It is now seveaty-#ix ail that was mortai of Robert consigned to the grave. Since then io and his memory have become more dearly than at any former period.
