BERLIN, July 8, 1872, Numerous and exhaustive articles on German ~emigration to the United States have been pub- Mshed at different intervals in the HERALD, and have already acquainted its Weaders with the epidemic-like spread of emigration, mainly due to the favorable statements and practical invitations— ash remittances or passage ccrtificates—from those fatherlanders who have successiully estab- ‘themselves on your shores, Though it has more than once been stated by statisticians that the loss experienced by the State from this source was enormous, and = that ashipload of emigrants leaving the country might be compared to the desertion of a fully armed and equipped regiment for the enemy’s camp, the authorities have, heretofore, seemed indiiferent and abstained from direct interference, exercising | their control only over agents and contenting | themselves in annually publishing the names and | pending penalty of those who leit regardless of the State's claim upon them for military service. The vast increase of emigration this year, notwith- standing the Kapp prophecy to the contrary, seems at last to have awakened government to a realiza- tion of its loss, and the cue is given to the semi- oficial and conservative press to raise THE CRY OF ALARM, The pious Cross Gazette ills 1ts columns with @oieful accounts from various districts where the Beets sons of villages and hamlets have been cimitated, if not completely reduced, by the “american fever.” The ultra-patriotic journal had ©ounselled real-estate owners to augment the ‘Wages of the menials, and so encourage them to ptay at home, “love God and the King and honestly earn their bread.” But the landowners reply that the emigration fever rages most among the well-to-do class of “rurals"—those who own | littie farms and cattle, so that the raising of the ‘Wages would have no influence in theircase. One of tne landed proprietors of West Prussia ‘writes:—"In my neighborhood the fever is mot yet at its height, but every servant and servant-maid dreams of nothing but of the fairyland over the waters, If emigration continues at the present rate we'll be depopulated ina lew, ars, Young men of military ages leave on fur- oor. and, of course, never return. A stricter con- ° agents can avail but very little, as a large portion of the emigrants never go near the offices.” t this answer the Areuz-Zel/ng flares into a pas- gion and despairingly cries, “Why does not the Btate levy AN EMIGRATION TAX? Let there be a tax of fifty thalers per head forevery adult, and that w.ll prove a sure means 0: consider- ably repressing the present epidemic. young men on fnrlough, they should deposit the money and let their fiity thalers be forfeited unless | they — return.” Jnasmuch as this topic 1s | forcing itself upon public attention. writers pro | and con.

Blind men! they mig.t as well, under the present | circumstances, think of stopping the flow of the | Guif stream. They have first got to think of abolishing the comparatively excessive taxes, the vid feudal tithes, the holding of land by privileged slasses and military despotism. Nowadays a peas- ant has to pay a head tax, land tax, a building | tax, a clergy and school tax, fire insurance and “hail insurance” taxes; has to contribute to funds which go to repair church and school buildings, to | esonstrict dams and dikes, and in many instances | ial taxes, AS for the army service | y young man, it certainly is anything but seductive. ihe diet is miserable, tle pay | fs 80 insixniticant as to require, on the part of pri- yates having no other source of income, the strict- | ext economy to press out even euough to supply ‘themselves with the rotten stoue and biacking to seep their arms avd boots accordiny to regulation.

For men that have systemati- cally violated the constitution to talk of lawand legality is an absurdity equal to that of supposing that the true interests of the conntry can suffer by the change from tho conservatives to the radi- cals:— MANIFESTO OF TNE LATE MINISTERIAL PARTY OF P. SPAIN, The Cortes of the kingdom have been dissolved before.even being heard, In vain did the liberal conservative party point out peer fanely the con- sequences which would necessarily foilow this dis- astrous measure, In vain did they promise a truce to political discussions and to resort with their yotes to the defence of the constitution and the high interests of the nation. The new government, doubtless, believing themselves owners rather than mere custodians of the law, pesierredt to trample on them rather than owe their position to the generous concourse of their adversaries. ‘The great Tesponsibility contracted by the Ministers of the Crown in accepting power in defiance of parlia- mentary practices, and thereby saying down a@ pre- cedent extremely lamentable, in the opinion of those who sincerely desire the security of the public in- stitutions, was made much graver by their coun- sellin ja Majesty to dissolve a Cortes on whose working were pending the most vital business of the State and the strict observance of the con- stitution, Even without appealing, as we have @ right to do, to the interpretution some of the present ministers gave to Article 48 of the ‘constitution, which, in their conception, fixes four months as the minimum of each Legisla- ture, it ig undoubtable that the economic year hav- ing terminated, we are in the position our party foresaw and so uselessly tried to avoid, the constitutional articles bearing on the imposition and levying of taxes are infringed, as also those which Telate to the naval contingent, The law which fixes the army forces is also violated. If to these excesses, which launcn all the menaces of arbitrariness upon the country, we pass to other considerations, It is clear that at no period of our history have 60 many and such sacred interests been wounded at one and the same time. ‘The very men who placed in the lips of His Majesty the solemn promise that only in the parliamentary majorities would he seek the criterion for his royal prerogative, to-day counsel the Crown to choose his vernment out of the minorities and to select it ehind the back of Parliament, and even to sym- bolize it in individuals who do not belong to any of the legislative bodies, thus losing ‘sight of the necessity for extreme care in voting the new institutions, and thereby giviag a fatal index of the secondary place the restige of the dynasty holds in tueir estimation, The authors of such counsel have no excuse, When one of the Chambers had not even complied with tue duty of courtesy in answering the speech of the Crown, and when 80 many and dives: motives called for the continuance of the parliamentary sessions, We most ce:tainly are not in @ case in which a minority could without scandal erect itself into a government. i In the first Cortes of His Majesty these men un- Justifiably broke up the coalition Ministry and violated the truce which even the commonest pre- scriptions of prudence so imperiously demanded and placed the solution of all the political problems in the hands of the most incarnate enemies of the revolution of September, All constitutional regimen then became impossible, The elec- toral urns being opened anew, there fortu- nately emerged @ majority respectable in many conceptions and sincerely dynastic. ‘The regular march of Parliament again became pos- sible within the new institutions. In this way the Coan by means of universal suffrage, solemnly and directly consecrated the work of the Cortes Constituyentes, and showed its ardent desire to enter on a period of tranquility under the dynasty of the illustrions house of savoy. The responsible Ministers, in counselling the dis- so.ution of the late Cortes, have annulled, to the prejudice of the throne, the high papnlace ton with which they were invested, 1aised all political pro- blems anew, enkindled passions, and proceeded, in aword, as if they had something to fear of the Pree of the monarch and the tranquillity of the nation. And it is not even enough for them to have sown these seeds of discord in the political ggmp; they increased the general uneasiness by announcing the most dangerous of reforms at the most inop- portune of moments, when the existence of our race is threatened in the Phillipinas, the integrity liberty and the conquests of civilization combated in Catalonia, Navarre and other provinces, robbery and sacrilege preached in Andalusia by means of | incendiarisin, and all the dangerous problews of the deinagogues set loose. In these moments, when ail social and political interests, with more right now than ever, reclaim the aid of the public force, they announce the suppression of conscription (the quintas) and promise the reiorm of the army! It almost appears as if, their ministerial existence being founded on tne dreads and alarms of all social classes who live by order, they delight in seeing tne country all the more weak and dis- armed, in proportion as the menaces on every side become more and more ferocious. And most assuredly they will not carry to a head this reform Bk means of liberty, ag they wish us to understand, They will either run the institution of the army, or they will, o! ne ‘ity, have to base iton a siimul- taneous call of all the Spaniards to arms, Verily the mind remains in suspense without being abie to say what principles and what interests are represented and serve as @ banner for this new government. A certain undetined and an- archical spirit moves and precipitates their actions, All their propositions appear ovscure—only arbi- trariness Is apparent. In view of these things, and on the eve of new. general elections, which, for the | | Unrd time, without counting those also for aytentamt. entos and diputacioncs provineiaies, in a year and a half, will renew the passions and disturbances, what ought to be our conduct? Are the conditions the proximate struggle ofiers to us acceptable? The personnel of the administration are renewed to a number so scandalous as to have no preced- | ent, even in the irenzied alternatives between ip- | erty and absolutism, or in the civil war, or after the revolution; and thus the public offices are con- verted into miserable electoral instruments. Thousands and thousands of famiiles lament in misery the necessity the government are under of creating vacamt posts, to offer administvative com- | Placencies, gain friends and make proselytes. ‘The same coalition, by virtue of which they Bought to drive our representatives from power, perilling and putting ull the existing institutions of the country at risk, subsists even to-day, with greater acandal than ever, between the monarchical gov- ernment and the republican party. There is another thing without precedent and without name. The socialistic hosts agitate and move under the heat of sinis hopes. in some parts of the country the masses have already been armed, without ex- amination, Jn others they are waiting for arms, and these wiil doubtless arrive so opportunely that the electors shall receive their guns and voting cedulus at one and the same time, And in the midst of this general perturbation, tie con- servador liberal party, the only one that could be a protection against sueh dangers, Hes prostrate, When convalescent from its ancient fatigues, an bitterly impressed at the eontempiation of the in- utility of its etfoi ts, Buch is the situation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 9, 1872. There is nothing new this morning beyond the trifling political incident announced in yesterday's telegrams, by which we learn the intention of the United States to annex the Archipelago—or the Archipelago to annex the United States—in conse- quence of the dissatisfaction of the island shipping interest with the Greek government. The accu- racy of this report can probably be tested at Wash- ington. RHEUMATISM IN THE SUMMER PALACE. Imay, therefore, proceed to mention that cer- tain aches and pains in the imperial bones, shared by many of the ladies of His Majesty’s houschoid, caused the Sultan to order an inspection of the new palace, which resulted yesterday morning in the discovery that a certain amount of dampness still lingered about “the incrusted walls of that gorgeous building, and that in some Places it had begun to tarntsh the rich and costly mosaics which overlay the plaster, Panic spread through the palace. His Majesty girded up his loins and betook himself to his coach and four, by the help. of which and Allah the Merciful he fled precipitately back to his winter emma 4 of Dolma Baghtché, nearly a mile distant, followed by all the swarm of the imperial hive—uniformed males, veiled and painted-eyed females, long and weak- kneed neuters, carriages, horses, poultry, dogs and slaves, Ilis Majesty is very cross about it, and will take the first opportunity of spiting his chief archi- tect, whom only a few weeks ago he raised to the dignity of three tails and olfered the post of Min- ister of Public Works. THE POLICY OF THE SURZ CANAL COMPANY in increasing the tonnage dues is condemned alike by the Porte and the Khédive; but the latter argues that it is scarcely worth while to make a State question of this misguided procedure of the com- pany, as in a very short time his railway from Alexandria to Massowa will be ready for working, and will aiford a shorter route to the Far ast than that now available through the The Khédive, who is still here, is on the best possible terms with the present Ministry and is frequently in intimate converse with the Sultan, A RAILWAY CONCRSSION, A concession of 440 kilometres (400 miles) of rail- way in Asia Minor has been granted to a man engineer named Pressel; the Ines start from Is- midt, aud one goes to Broussa, im Bithynia, the ancient capital of the Usmaniis, and the other rans straight away east to Anzora and thence to Kon- ich, ancient Icon.um.

They were, for the most part, men of superior Intelligence. They were anxious to-see and kuow all they could in the short- est space of time; but, like other travellers, they fell into the error of taking the beaten track of travel and leaving unseen many places of the deep- est interest to an inquiying tourist, In the moun- tain district that does not come Into view from the general route there are lakes and glena of sur- passing beauty, and these are seldom visited except by the devotees of Izaak Walton. A PROPOSED RAILROAD THROUGH ‘DICK MARTIN’S” ‘TERRITORY, There is now before the English Parliament a pill which provides for the construction of @ railroad from the town of Gaiway to Clifden, The distance is 40 miles. Everybody in Connemara seems under the impression that the land to be used in the construction of this propesed railroad will be given gratis by the local proprietors, with the ex- ception of a few who, being owners of town parks near Galway, intend, it is believed, to hold out for compensation. The track will run, for the greater portion of the distance, through a moor, and take pretty much tho course of the public road, which goes through valleys overhung by hills and by the shores of lakes studded with small islands, Those who are fond of mountain and lake scenery will, if ever this railroad comes to be completed, have then ample means of being rapidly transported into one of the most picturesque and romantic parts of Ire- land—a portion of this country which cannot fail to remind oue of the magnificent scenery of the High- lands of Scotland, Connemara, as is well known, was once tho territory of Richard Martin, com- monly called “ Dick Martin.”” WHO WAS DICK MARTIN? He was the author of the ‘Act for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,” and at the same time a noted duel jist. 1t was his boast that bis residence was thirty miles from his gate-lodge. ‘This residence was Ballinalinch Castle, and for many a year he kept open house there for “reduced gentiemen,” and also ior a large body oi retainers and servitors, His habits were extravagant. He dabbled much in politics, and was called by George Robert Fitzger- ald, who was known as “Fighting Fitzgerald,” the “bully of the altamonts.”” The Altamonts were the Hrownes of Westport, in Mayo, one of whom is now Marquis of Sligo. Dick Martin got involved in debt in consequence of his Parliamentary contests, and in order to extricate himself from his embar- rassment le mortgaged hie estate in Connemara for the suni of £210,000 to the Law Life Assurance Company of London, At his death this mort- gage, was not paid, and his son, Thomas artin, came into possession of the paternal acres with this awful load of indebtedness hanging over hi, He could hardly pay the interest, He struggled along for vane ut finally broke down under the burden and dicd. ‘The estate then came into the hands of his only child, Mary Martin, whose Management o1 the estate was not more successful than that of her father. The Law Life Assurance Company foreclosed the mortgage, and tarned Miss Martin out of her ancestral home; they had a legal right to do so, and they did do it. She had married her cousin, a Mr. Bell, She was a woman of literary taste and ability, and wrote articles for French and German publications. The fates had decided against her.

Her story is a sad one, and furnishes a _— commentary on the uncertainty and instability o1 human affairs. THE INHERICORS OF DICK MARTIN'S ESTATE, The Law Life Assurance Company, after Miss- Martin’s death, entered into possession of the estate, and lor something more than twenty years have acted in the capaciiy of landlords, Whether they have been extermmators of the Lasers f or not I cannet say, but they have managed to collect about ten or eleven thousand pounds a year, by way of rent, out of their tenantry, Who e houses, to my owncertain .nowledge, could not be taken as samples of comfortable dwellings. It ts the rule in Treiand among landiords—the owners of the land— to extract the highest rent from the tg ph and to pay this high rent the peasant has to sell all the butter, bacon, ¢: ttle, poultry and eggs he can raise in the course of a year, lcaving himself and his jJamiy the plainest tood, potatoes and milk, oatmeal or Indian corn, Possibly the Law Life) Assurance Company had adopted this rule towards their Connemara tenants; but whether thoy had or not, they have at least man- aged to get out of them, in the course of twenty years, about two tundred tuousand pounds, exactly the amount of the mortgage they had taken from Dick Martin. It was but just that they should re- ceive back their mon but if they were reaily in earnest to serve tielr tenants and improve their social and material condition they would have par- celled out the land among them, and made the peasants owners in fee by charging the rent as par- chase money, Such a bold and noble step as this would Lave made Connemara & prosperous part of Irelant; I do not add the word “peaceable,” for there is not amore peaceable district in the country. But in place of adopting a plan of this characier, which would have heaped incalculable benefits upon the peasants, THE COMPANY HAVE SOLD THEIR BSTATR toaMr. Burridge, a London brewer, who is re- puted to be aman of immense Wealth.

There are 4,000,000 acres of the Irish soil in the possession of absentee proprietors, who never spend a shilling of the rents in the country. It is my firm conviction tuat no better bill could be in- troduced into the :nglish Parliament than one to purchase out the lanued proprietors of Ireland and divide the land awong the peasantry, the latter to pay the governmect a certain rent lor an agreed nuuiber of years niu the purchase money had been cleared off, at the end of which time the land should become iorever the absolute nd jawiul property of the peasant or his successor, Uf tii Aone wer there Would be very little trouble with the goveri- nient of Jrejandy but there Will be gr 4 cuity here §0 long as England Inalath or oie ins Wrong thing when she could just as well do the right thing, and that, too, at the right time, JUDGH KBOGH AND THE G*t~ S ; Bear ay ELBCHON, Tudgé Keogh, Wid Aelivex8d" the now celebrated judgment in the case of the Galway election pett- tion, is gone to the YonUngit.

The Laws Passed by the Late Legislaturo ‘Affect- ing New York Interests—What They Are and What They Amount To, The laws of the State, affecting interests in the city and county of New York, passed by the Legis lature last winter, have just been published in book form. A great many of them refer to matters in which the general public isin nowise interested; yet there are several which are of exceeding im- portance, and which it would be well that every law-abiding citizen knew the real purport of, THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. Chapter 619 is an act dividing the State into new Congressional districts. The new districts in the elty are as follows:— ‘Third, Fifth District (late Fourth)—First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Four: teenth wards, including Governor's Island.

Its pray sions are so familiar to everybody that repeti- 1on isnot necessary, One great feature about it ts that it gives the Board of Police power to compel a citizen to serve as an inapector unless excused by reason of i ith or other “good and suMicient cause,” The act has only ninety-three sections, each one being a pretty good sized chapter in itself. It be- hooves every good citizen, therefore, who may by the wise direction of the Board of Police be selectet to act as inapector or. canvasser to study the law oroughly. so doing they will be able to avert she heavy nena:ties which the law allows to be im- posed upon any inspector or canvasser who either neglects his official duties or performs them in any way contrary to the law. STREET CLEANING. Chapter 677 gives the Board of Police the author- ity to clean the streets and cancel all existing con- tracts relative thereto. Asthe Board has already had the contracts cancellea in @ way that has been pleasing to themselves and now control the street- cleaning business, the law need not be further dilated upon. ‘THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. Ghapter, 690 is an amendatory act of that incor- porating the Industrial Exhibition Company, aud to authorize the company to purchase real estate in the city and to erect a building or buildings which shall be used as an industrial exhibition. THE RIFLE RANGE. Chapter 699 appropriates $25,000 for the estab- lishment of a ride range for the use of the first and second divisions of the National Guard. THE FOURTH AVENUE IMPROVEMENT. Chapter 702 is what was commonly culled “the Fourth Avenue Improvement” act. It prescribes the way the tracks on the avenue should be sank and what guards for the protection of the public should be erected along the portions of the railroad which runs through the city. NOTARIES PUBLIC, Chapter 703 extends the powers of notaries pub- lic of this city and county. For instance, a notury of this county can take an afidavit in Kings county on condition he puts after his signature the county he belongs to. PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND, Chapter 739 authorizes, the Comptroller to Issue a public fund or stock for the Improvement of the small park squares and places in the city, the amount not to exceed $750,000. OBSCENE LITERATURE.

REGULATING DRUG CLERKS. Chapter 817 1s what is known as the “Drug bill."? It repeals the act of 1871, and reguiates the practice county. It prescribes the methods by which a diug clerk’s qualifications for his business are to be tested, and gives the exanin: power into the hands of the College of Pharmacy. THE SWAIN RAILROAD. Chapter 833 authorizes the Metropolitan Transit Company to construct and operate its road (two: tier through the blocks) in the city, and to coi struct and use for railroad purposes two bridges across the Harlem River, This act is better known as the ‘Jim Swain bill.” The road is calculated to be completed in the year 50001. AND YET ANOTHER, Chapter 834is the New York City Rapid Transit Company bill, which authorizes Cornelius Vander- bilt “and such other persons as he shail associate with himself’ to construct an underground road from the City Hall to Fifty-ninth stveet. The road is to be completed in two years, and the branch to the Hudson River Railroad track on the North River in seven years. LICENSING THEATRES, ETO. Chapter 836 prohibits public exhibitions—theatri- cal performances—unless the “proprietors” previ- ously obtain a license from the Mayor. The licenses can be given for any term Jess than one year. Courts of record can revoke the license for cause, and thereafter the victims oi the revocation are prohibited from getting a new license.

Onapter ¥:~ A NEW FERRY. tioned >. .,848 authorizes certain parties (men- rooce 4n the act) to establish and maintain a ferry fie", Mott Haven to Wall street, New York. ‘The boats must make at least three tripsaday, the fare not to be more than ten cents. THE RATE OF BROOKLYN FERRIAGE. Chapter 855 reduces the rates of ierriage on the ferry routes between the cities of New York and Brooklyn and Jates the running of the boats, By he act the ferry companies running Deas: between this city and that Rortion lying along the East River be- tween the Navy Yard and Bushwick creek (except the Roosevelt street ferry) are required to run tue boats all night. This act created considerable strife in the Legislature last winter, being once de- feated in the lower House, though under a different form. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Chapter 860 amends chapter 190 of the Laws of 1870 80 a8 to read that ‘the concurrence of 9 ma- jority of all the members of the Board of Super. Visors shall always be necessary to the passage of any resolution, ordinance or act.” According to the act of 1870 the negative vote of the Mayor was sufficient to prevent the passage of any resolution. CROTON WATER. Chapter 872 (the book containing the Laws of 1872, complied “by authority of the Board of Supervi- sors,” has it that the law was passed June 3; the Legislature adjourned in May) authorizes the Commissioners of Public Works to extend the pipes or conduits divected to be laid by an act entitled “An act in relation to the Croton Aque- duct in the city of New York,"’ passed April 15, 1870, 80 a8 to make the connections therein pro- vided for between Ninety-second and Ninety-third streets, The work is to be completed witiiin two years. The Commissioner is also authorized ‘oO acquire title to land situated between Ninety- second and Ninety-third streets, contiguous to the land now owned ‘by the city and occupied for aque- duct and gate house, not to exceed in arca four lots; algo not exceeding four lots at the corner of 113th street and Tenth avenne, for the purpose of constructing a gate house thereon, THE HOLB-IN-THESKY ROAD. tik 7 885 Incorporates the Gilbert Blevate Rallwny Company, and to previde “a feasible, safe and speedy system of rapid transit through the i with all the republicang of France, We shall cele- i} cl ‘This is the ‘hole-in-the-sky” road, which is to be completed in the year 3000, of pharmacy and the sale oi poisons in the city and | Caught Fly from thé Nowark Lae Jai, Porter “Pulled” in Confederate Cracksmen—Exoiting Pistol Practice with the Police, The attempt of Billy Porter, the notca and desperado, to escape from the Essex jail in Newark on Saturday, as briefly reportea the HERALD yesterday, was no less daring than {i was skilfully planned. The prearrangements were of the completest possifle description, and prove that the Newark jail contains a criminal the equal in, daring and devilish cunning of Jack Sheppard of Newgate notoriety, It turns out, too, that the attempted escape resulted in producing excellent fruit, forasmuch as Billy’s confederates, also noted crackemen, were caught and safely caged with him, as the narrative will show. Some three weeks ago, a3 Chief of: Police Glashy, of Newark states, his officers were apprised from quarters they considered reliable that plans were then hatching in New York for the res- cue of Porter and Hersch Harris, the noted. receiver, who is said to have grown very wealthy from the proceeds of his nefarious besiness. ‘The Chief in turn advised Colonel Johnson, the jail war; den. The latter dongsed the matter, but mereased his vigilance. The Chief detailed an officer to do nothing but patrol the streets bounding the jail, On Friday Mr. Glashy visited the city and says he learned that, now that th attempt to get Porter and Harris out on saaeient bail had utterly failed, the effort to clear them from the clutches of the Jersey authorities would soon be made. The prisoners’ friends, he was informed, were nerved to the very DESPERATION OF DESPAIR. On Saturday the Ohief received additional ine formation confirming the former, and was told that the attempt to break jail would be made that night. He was well and accurately advised, ag subsequent events proved. About nine o'clock, accompanied by Lieutenant Kedwin, Sergeants Smith and Meldam and a posse of eight patrolmen, the Chief started for the jail. Arrived there the men were stationed around and the oficera en- tered. With Warden Johnson and Deputy George the Chief proceeded to the cell of Porter. Thelatter advanced to the door. Onentering the chief gently told him to hold up his hands, and in a few seconds Deputy Johnson secured them with a pair of iron bracclets, vulgarly called handcuffs, “What's up ?” said Billy, with an air of astonish- ment. His face changed color and he trembled like a leaf. He answered himself oy significantly muttering with venom and clenched teeth, “The son ofa b—h; I knew he’d do it; ‘twas he gev me away |? ‘k POINTING OUT HIS PISTOL. Billy then “caved.” He pointed out where his tools for escape lay. His pistol, unloaded, was con- cealed in the bottom of his cell bucket. 'A supply of cartridges, nice and dry, were found in his pock- - ets, to be used in case of urgent necessity, as in the case of the jailer Sparing, him) on the wing; a small bundle contained & coll of stout hempen cord, three burglars’ saws, & “Simmy’? and his shoes. In answer to the Chiefs 4 aah he pointed out three bars in his cell door whic! h ne had cut through with his saws, and which were held together by short leather tubes, colored the same as the iron, and which could only be noticed by close scrutiny. His plan was ‘to wait until the watchful sentry was taking his customary midnight sn » then slip out of his cell round to a window looking on the canal, saw through one bar, making room enough for him to squeeze out, and then he was free, with a pistol in his hand to defy pursuers, if any there should be. A carriage was already wait- ing for him, with three friends init. “THIS 18 JERSEY, BILLY!” The foiled burglar was at once removed to the “strong box” of the prison—the strongest cell in it. As he passed in the Chief remarked, “This is Jersey, Billy!” With bitterness the latter replied, *'Y¥ by God! I know it is,to my sorrow.” It is likely that any further effort will be made by himor his iriends to get him clear. Harris was found te cers are now was contemplated, at least just then. Porter had turned State’s evidence against Harris and the Krementa CE ee and hoped to get off without going to State Prison. He offered to plead guilty to being an accessory to the burglary, but the State would only receive his plea of being a principal im it. Hence he expected no mercy beyond a re- duction of his term in the State Prison. THE CARRIAGE AND THE CONFEDERATES, Between ten and eleven o'clock an ony, open. two horse carriage was found standing in Warren street, one block from the jail. It was surmise that its late occupants were — fr the prisoners. An officer was and sce if any one came to take posses- sion, but no one peared, Half an hour later officer Astley found a man prowling in Wilsey street. He accosted him and soon learned: from the stranger’s lips that he was from New York. “You're the man I want,” suid Asiley, and he marched him to the station with a pistol pointed at his head. On the way the prisoner delivered up his own revolver He was safely lodged in the station house, where he gave the name of John Murphy. He is said to be a regular thiefand burglar. Shortly before twelve o'clock Lieutenant Kirwan and his men discovered two men ot suspicious appearnace, Observing the approach of the police, who were attired in citizens’ clothes, the partics started to run in different directions. One ran down Warren street, the officers after him. S«veral shots were fired but no blood was spilled. He would have got away but for being intercepted by officers Taylor and Freund, who with their clubs brought him to terms. Just then a valiant and veracious detective ran up and bravely forced a pistol into thémouth of the secured and prostrate prisoner. The other Betigk to be a notorious New York thief, named trick Carpenter, better known as “Big ‘Frank,!? t the station house, on being searched, no pistol was found, “Big Frank” has . an intimate acquaintance with the New York polite, PORTER'S CAREER, i The prisoner Porter has served two te-ms in State Prison, the last time being pardoned out alter serving four years and ten months out of fiye years.

Last Sunday I went to the Central Park with my two children, one two and the other four years old. I took the omnibus stationed at the entrance of Eighth avenue for a trip through the Park, paying fail fare for both children, The carriage was crowded, the starter having received twelve fares, which is the full number, and we started. We had not proceeded far before the driver drew up and took on two more passengers, who, before I know it, crowded my children ont of their seats, and T was, against may proved to the driver, com- pelled to carry them the balance of the trip. On arriving at tie stand I stated the fact to the man in charge, and demanded a return of the children’s fare, but he informed me that although I was right there was no redress! fi I state this for the benefit of those who may be tempted to ride and be imposed on by this irre- sponsible and possibly invulnerable hack com fe Respectfully yours, A CONSTANT READER.
