2 » 4 CUBA... The Spanish Slaveowners’ Meeting in ‘Havana. COOLIE SLAVERY PROPOSED. The Havana Press Not Permitted to Report the Gathering. The Insurrection and Its Source of Supplies. SPANISH FINANCE—A NEW ISSUE. Havana, Feb. 1, 1873. The question of abolion of slavery and changes in the form of governing the Antilles, agitated in Spain, has been the most absorbing topic of interest for some time past, and a cause of great alarm to the oligarchy of this island. So great has been the opposition as even to surt the idea of a possible secession of the Spanish element in Cuba trom the mother country. Amecting, which had been looked forward to for Some time, took place last Sunday at the Casino Espafiol, composed largely of slaveholders and merchants. The avowed object of the meeting was to discuss the social question—slavery—and, as ‘Was generally supposed, to find means to antici- pate the intentions of the home government, take time by the forelock, and, at whatever means or terms, putanend to an institution abhorred by the entire civilized world, and which only exists in all its horrors in Cuba. As a matter of course, the Spanish Havana jour- nals have given NO REPORT OF WHAT TRANSPIRED In this assemblage, and it falls upon your corre- Bpondent to chronicle its results, The meet- ing was quite numerous, and composed of members of all ciasses of socicty—the na- tive democratic element not represented— although a number of Javorantes were present. The meeting was called to order and opened by the well known President of the Casino, Don Julian de Zulueta, who, in his peculiar, embarrassed, jerky manner, stated the object of the Junta, explaining that, according to the decree of His Majesty of July 4, 1870, a committee had been formed for the pur- pose of studying the best possible way to solve the difficult question of THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, ‘without producing political or economical disturb- Bnces, Since that perivd, Zulueta remarked, they had been laboriously engaged in the study of this arduous undertaking, and then he called the atten- tion of slaveowners and others to the events which, in a vertiginous manner, are being precipi- tated, and that the royal decree, framed with re- gard to the sister island of Porto Rico, gaye fears that it might yet be extended to ths island, Fur. thermore, that the Abolition Society, with more Malice than philanthropy, and the undoubted pressure exercised by foreign Cabinets, weighed with iron hand upon the intentions of this govern- ment to solve this dangerous question, ‘without taking into consideration the immediate losses which would happen to this island by a premature Bolution of the difficulty. Sefior Zulueta then presented the Secretary of the Junta, to read a Feport to show the result of their labors and the Project to establish an association to REPLACE THE SLAVES WITH CONTRACTED COOLIES, ‘The Secretary then commenced to read an elabo- rate and elegantly written preambie, stating the necessity of medifying, ina manner slow but'sure, the present system of labor, proposing as the only means of overcoming the situation and saving the | country the foundation of a society, of which all the siaveholders on the island should become mem- bers, with an annual contribution of $10 for each Blave owned, and. with the sum of $3,000,000, which, It is supposed, could be collected on this account— estimating according to last statistics the number of slaves at 300,000—to Introduce coolies of all races Into the island, including even the African, The project, as usual in these cases, is set forth in @ complicated decument, written in the highest hraseology of the Spanish language, the principal joints showing the GRASPING CUPIDITY OF THE SLAVEOCRACY. Anything at all showinga desire to assist the vernment in the plan of emancipation was kept in the dark, and nothing promised that would be a benefit te the country. On the contrary, every- thing was painted in glaring colors en vista of gain and speculation to the future directors of this asso- ciation, and in one sentence showed that to all in- tents and purposes the pretext of taking “tinie by the forelock” Was a project,of profit to the same traders in human flesh who, hypocritically masking their intentions, pretend to coutinue the “tragic! or slave trade under ‘THE ELASTIC NAME OF COLONIZATION. Sefior Lon Kufino Sainz, a respectable hard- ‘Ware merchant Oi this city, who is also an oiicer of volunteers and a prominent Spaniard, but whose sentiments and heart appear not to have been hardened by his stock in trade, hereupon Tose to say a few words, and, aiter reminding bis hearers of his being Lt Sea Spaniard, alover of the national integrity and the isiand where he had accumulated bis wealtn, and the proois of his patriotism disptayed in persoual and pecuniary Bacrifices during the crisis existing since 188, as ually the ideas of humanity and liberality which his conscience dictated, could not re- frain from expressiag his surprise at the deceit practised by the Junta. Instead of resolving the social question the object seemed to be to create a speculating scciety. “Gentlemen,” Sefior Saniz said, “1 wish to declare thatI ama partisan o! the immediate abolition ofslavery. We who have had sutlicient courage to withstand the gitustion which our enemies have raised should not be territied at the phantom which is called wery. Letusbe grand; let us furnish a grand gpectacie to foreign nations; let us anticipate the fleas of our government and resolve upon the im- Mnediate abolition of slavery. Have we not in this country, since 1857, nearly turty thousand Asiatic coolies, and do not our commercial statistics show @ steady increase of our agriculture’ 1 believe there is no one in this room wiio does not at heart ay with the idea just proposed, Ifany there be who do net hold such sentemeuts they will find printed on their brows the siigma of the contempt and reproach of every honest man.’? The lovers of liberty were agreeably surprised to hear trom a Spaniard in Cuba such sentiments of justice and morality, Mr. =ainz showed that he ‘Was an eloquent speaker and a man of advanced ideas, and consequently there was much agitation among THE SPANIARDS, WHO WERE THUNDERSTRUCK at what they had heard from a peninsular, Sefior Gallo rose to reply and address the mecting, and in disconnected phrases, strong with the accent of bis Catalonian province, tried to prove to his hearers the invioiability of his vin ta He stated that when he bought his plantation he bought it with accompaniment of the “lubbers’’ (aicor- noques), “things” -or “negroes’—he did not call them men—upon it, and he firmly believed no one had the right to touch his property; that he con- sidered the Junta illegal, anu as the radical gov- ernment had promised not to touch the social question WHILE A SINGLE ARMED INSURGENT REMAINED in Cuba, with less reason sheuld he be influenced by a junta that had no character whatever. He Was a8 liberal as any onc, said Mr. Gallo, but was not going to submerge his family tn misery by 7 Measures of abolitien, which wouid more surely aid the plans of bis separatist enemies; but finally, ‘that this was a matter in which each could act as he saw fit; the government had no right to restrict Individual action, in virtue thereof Senor Sainz could give freedom to his slaves if he pleased, and each one should be permitted to solve the ques- tion according to his own manner of thought. Sainz Tose to rectily Mr. Gallo’s remarks, and in a tone both tronical and contemptuous declared it was impossible for him to effect the miracle Seiior Gallo proposed, as he never owned any slaves, and, moreover, was much surprised te learn at the gentieman was as liberal as any one; and continued in the same strain for a few moments, much to the discomfiture of xefior Gallo. Seflor Colomé, a native;ol this city, was the next to speak. He commenced by deciaring himseif a member of the Junta and the princtpal author of THE PROJECT OF COLONIZATION. He gave no utterance to thoughts in his speech but such as showed the principle of gain strongly de- veloped, and in the farrago of words he naan only showed vulgar ideas, rickety plans, dark concep- tions and exploded theories of the inequality of races. As the only means of saving the country he proposed the importation of coolies of ail races, and that the projected society would open the grand road tothe political and economical pros- perity of the country—political because there would be no fear of disturbances, as the popula- tion being then antithetical, one race would stand in opposition to the other (Seior Colomé forgorting that opposite races can lay aside their hates an: destroy their common ph and would prosper economically because large importations of these would uphold agricultural riches, Jn all big, ‘ & NEW YORK.

Seior Argudin then had @ word to say, croaking that if the wbolition policy was adopted it would be necessary for-him to give this siaves, be.ore com-, }) mencing their dally labor, SPONGE CAKE AND WINE, -and, even then, ne didn’t beliewe they would work.

THE INTEKMINABLE CONFLICT, Regarding the insurrection the journals of this city, in their recent tortnightly reviews, admit 1ts continuance and possible indefinite contmuance. The Yor de Cuda, in the review ol operations and affairs it semi-monthly writes up for the Spanish mail steamers, has the following paragraph:—“Bhe insurrection ex- ists, but will mever reach the propertions necessary @) constitute a scrious danger for the mtegrity ol the territory of Cuba. It will never conquer b cause it has no means, and wants every element.of triumph; but notwithstanding it porsesses no conditions to trinmph, it has a sarpins to zee up the unsettiad state of affairs and the disgust inherent in the violent situation which has been created.”* - A DOLEFUL SPANISH SONG. . The Constancia admits tye same thing, further stating the difference of rues which follow the in- surgent leaders, the pecullarities of ‘the country, the care with which they receive arms and war material; that the insurrection willnever termina’ until its colaborers abroad, the faborantes, and all their plans have been completely destrayed, SPANISH ADMISSIONS OF SUPPLIES, A letter written by an officer of a gunboat sta- tioacd on the south coast says:—Not long since (January 23) there was a landing composed of 500 armed men and severai pieces of mode'n artil+ lery at the Lake ef Vertientes, as also other, mate- riel, The colonel who commanded the detachment of 200 men stationed there had to fight his retreat.” ANOTHER TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ISSUE, The Diario de la Marina tuforms us that the treasury is actively engaged in circulating the basis of an early emission of $20,000,000 at par, in bonds of $500, each payable in six payments, to wit: One-quarter of the subscription down, another quarter at thirty days’ time; ilfteen per cent at sixty days, another eleven per cent at ninety days, and the remainder of the subscription at i20 and 150 days. The treasury will pay in gold eight per cent annually, froin the date of subscrip- tion, which will be open by February 5, and kept open untti the Sth of March, ‘the other stipula- tions o! tle loan will be in accordance with the royal decree of August 9, 1872. ‘These bonds will be admitted as payment ‘of all kinds of obligations and dues on purchases of property of the State. ENGLISH JOURNALS AND CUBA. Mr. A. Gallenga, of the London 7ijes, well known by his contributions during the Franco-Austrian War and asa writer under the nom de plume of “Mariotti,” has arrived in this city with the object of writing on the affairs in Cuba for that journal. CONSOLIDATION. —+ Union of the Two Citics—An Act To Be Presented to the Legislature. After many years of general discussion among capitalists in Brooklyn concerning tbe advisability of merging the cities of New York and Brooklyn into one grand municipality something practical in form has been reached. The plan proposed to in- itiate this measure, which is fraught with vast interests to these populous and clesely allied cities, is that a committee of twenty, composed of ten cit- izens from each municipality in question, be desig- nated by the Governor of the State, who will meet in April next and consider the best plan of charter for the government of New York and Brooklyn. The consolidation is favored by the wealthiest resi- dents of the City of Churches, and Mr. Winslow, United States Commissioner, has prepared an act for the appointment of the Committee of Twenty, which has been favorably regarded, and will doubt- less be presented to the Legislature tor adoption at anearly day. The act in question is as follows:— An Actto provide for the appointment of a Board of Municipal Commissioners to consider and report a char- ter or sustable plan of government forthe city and county 9! Now York, the city of Brooklyn and the five towns of Kingx county unger owe municipal government, the whole to be called the city of New York. The people of the State of New York, represented in Senaic and Assembly, do enact as follows :— Sxorion 1.—The Governor is heteby authorized and re- quired to appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, on or beiere the first. Tuesday in April, in the veur 1873, twenty Commissioners, ten_of whom shall residents of the city and county of New York, and ten residents of the county of Kings, who, together with the Mayor of the city of New York and the Mayor of the city of Brooklyn, shall be known as the Municipal Commis- 8 , aid’ who shall perform the duties hereinaiter 0. 2.—The Mayor of the city of New York, and, in his absence, the Mayor of the city of Brooklyn, shall preside at all incetings ot such Goard and administer the consti tutional oath of office to such Commissioners appointed as aloresadd, and perform such other duties as such Board jesignate, Sec, 3.—It shall be the duty of such Board, or a ma- Jority'thereor, to devise, consider and prepuré a plan of imutiicipal government, which. in the judgment of such Board, or a majority thereot, shall be just and equitabl and stitable for the requirements and applicable to the city ot New York, the city of Brooklyn and the five towns in the county of Kings under one municipal government, the whole to be called the city of New York. Ske. 4.—It shall be the duty of such Board to hold its first meeting on the first Tuesday of May, in the year 1873, at twelve o'clock noon, in the city of New York, at such place as shall be previously designated by the Mayor of New York in a notice to be sent by such Mayor to each of such Commissioners ten days before such mect- ing. xc. 5.—Tt shall be the duty of such Board to proceed diligently with the said business named in section 3 of this act, and to complete the same on or betore the first Tuesday in October, in the year 1873, and to report to the Govertior subh plan of government ‘or charter as in the judgment of sch Board, ora majority, thereof, shall be est adupted to secure the purposes set forth in. saia sec- tion 3 of thisact. And it shall be the duty of the Gover- nor to submit such report to the next Legislature for con- sideration. Sxc. 6.—Such Board may appoint a clerk and necessary attendants and make rules amd regulations for its pro- ceedings, Each of the said twenty Commissioners shall be paid ten dollars ($10) per day for his services; and ts, together with the proper and necessary uch Board for clerk hire, printing, rent, sta- Honery and other necessary purposes, Incurred inh the due prosecution of its said duties, shall be provided for and paid equally by the Supervisors of the county of New York and hy the Supervisors of the county of Kings, as the same shall be certified by sald Mayors of said cities Sxc. 7.—This act shall take effegt immediately. A public meeting will be called in a short time, when the sentiment of the people will be taken. Objection has been made om the ground that con- solidation will deieat direct responsibility, and that as far as Brooklyn itselfis cencerned, it would re- duce the latter city to a position subordinate to that which it now occupies, besides increasing the burden of taxation. “Manhattan” has been siig- gested as a fitting name for the two cities should they be eventually united under‘one Chief Magis- trate and Common Councih THE ROSSITER COLLECTION. sheaiisiialiplanseiinibe Wervhave as yet made scarcely a reference to the antique furniture and bronzes which forin so inter- esting an adjunct to the pictures belonging to the late M. Rossiter. It would be unfair in the public to take for granted that the furniture is merely a dainty, diletantte assortment, fitted to catch the eye of those fashionable ladies who equally dote on young levers and old china, M. Rossiter was an antiquarian and a connoisseur, or he would not have given so much time and taste to interests of this kind, There is a delightful favor of antiquity about the tables, chairs, altar-pieceg and buffets on which one comes at every corner in the present gathering at the Clinton Hall Salesroom. Here we encounter a mirror in circular frame, garnished with cornucopie and surmounted with an aie carved in oak, and tifere we run against half a dozen Louis Quatorze oak dining chairs, with high, open-werk backs and carved tops. A buffet of the medieval age, back high and closed and the carv- ing profuse and delicate, contrasts with one of the fourteenth century, with an open back, intended for tapestry, a close casket of rare workmanshij forming the stand. An oaken and finely carve sarcophagus of the fourteenth century stands Saliently beside an armoire or sideboard, with drawer in top, the carving being an unusuaily {air specimen of Byzantine art, executed as far back as the thirteenth century.

THE DURYEA MURDER, The Prisoner Simmons Admitted to Bail, but Rearrested. Simmons Indicted for Murder by the Grand Jury. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO THE FRONT. Sharp Practice All Around---The Scenes Bellevue Hospital. John E. Simmons, charged with the murder of Nicholas W. Duryea, was yesterday morning ad- mitted to bail in the sum of $10,000. The amount of the bail was fixed in the Coroners’ office at eleven o'ciock and the bonds sigued in the prisun- er’s cell at Bodlevue Hospital at balf-past two in | the afternoon, Simmons, however, is not at lib- erty, for at three o’ciock he was rearrested by Deputy Sheri? Seebacher, on a bench warrant is- sued from the Court oi Oyer and Termiuer and signed by the District Attorney, directing the accused to be arrested and held for murder. The extraor- dinary verdict rendered by the Coroner's jury was the tneme of general conversation among all classes.during the day, and opiuions were freely vented not at all complimentary tothe enlightened six who have immortalized themsclves by the sago conclusion at which they arrived a‘ter two hours, discussion. It is generally supposed that the duty of a Coroner’s jury is to find the cause of death; but In this case the six men, good and true, did not | content. themselves with this simple way of dealing with the matter, and they rendered the opinion, in very bad English, that the case was a clear one of justifiable homicide. ‘The prisoner and his friends felt elated, as well they might, at this preliminary triumph, and imme- diate application was made ior bail. The bail was granted as stated above, and the prisoner was about Lo be removed towhis residence when the Dis-, trict Attorney interposed and entirely changed the programme by a masterly stroke of policy, and the prisoner is now in as bad if not a woise condition than he was previous to the inquest. It isonly in very extreme cases that @ bench warrant under such circumstances is issued, but the District attor- ney felt that the exigencies of the times and the interests of the case demanded that prompt action should be taken to hold Simmons until a higher tribunal than a coroner’s jury should have determined his guilt or innocence. Beiow will be found the details in full which transpired during the day. : PROCEEDINGS AT THE CORONERS! OFFICE. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the Coro- ners’ Office was crowded by the relatives and friends of John E, Simmons, the allesed murderer of Nicholas W. Duryea, t» listen to an application as Ae Keenan for the release of Simmons ‘on bail. Assistant District Attorney Lyons, who appeared for the people, commenced his argument by saying he was directed by the District Attorney to strenu- ously oppose a moon to release Simmons on bail, and argued that the Coroner should ‘ DISREGAKD THE VERDICT of the Coroner's jury, or at least that portion of it in which it stated that Simmous, in taking, the life of Duryea, acted without premeditation. Mr. Lyons contended that it was absolutely obligatory on the part of the Coroner to tully commit Sim- mons to the Tombs without bail to await tite ac-* tion of the Grand Jury. ‘The Assistant District Attorney having concluded his remarks, Mr. Fellows, one ef the counsel jor the prisoner, arose to rep! He took the ground that the verdict of the Coroner’s jury was in accerd- ance with the testimony eiicited, and that being true the crime was not murder, but only one of the lower degrees of manslaughter. Mr. Fellows keld that the offence with which Simmons was charged Was bailable, and argued it was the imperative duty of the Coroner to release his client in a Teasonable amount of bail, and said he was pre- pared to give as good real estate security as there was in New York. Mr. Fellows further said that in the case of ms client he HAD A SUBSTANTIAL DEFENCE, and believed a jury could not be jound in this city te convict Simmons after the facts in his behalf should be disclosed on the final trial. Mr. Lyons again briedy urged that Simmons be committed, and said the proceedings could be re- Viewed beiore the Supreme Court, where all the facts might be elicited, and, if proper, the defend- ant could be builed. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL. Coronor Keenan said it was within his province to take bail, and, believing it to be right, he would release Simmons on giving $10,000 unencumbered real estate security jor his future appearance to answer any indictment which the Grand Jury might find against him. Mr. Fellows said the bond must be executed in presence of the prisoner, at Beilevue Hospital, and after some furtaer discus- sion it wasarranged that the bail should be taken at Bellevue Hospital, at hali-past two o'clock in the afternoon. EVERYTHING LOVELY, At the conclusion of Mr. Fellows’ argument in favor of admitting Simmons to bail and Coroner Keenan's decision to accept $10,000 bail a consulta- tion was held among the {riends of the prisoner, and the Coroner was notified that Edward Martin, aretired tea merchant, residing at 94 Madison street, and Mr. Eilis N. Crowe, Who keeps a large livery stable at 139 nespecn street, would go Sinf- mons’ bail and be at the hospital at the appointed time. Everybody then supposed that the prison- er’s trouble was Over and that he would be released during the afternoon and taken to his own resi- dence, 113 East Fourteenth street. THE SETTING OF THE SNARE. But meanwhile the murderer had to pass through another and more difficult ordeal than that of a Coroner’s iuquest before he regained his liberty. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury, delivered on Twesday evening, had caused a good deal of ex- citement and discussion in hactie and legal circles yesterday morning, and the general con- Versation on the subject lound a strong echo in the DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. Mr. Phelps had heard of the verdict early in the morning and bad one of the messengers in his ottice specially detailed to bring him the first news of the action tae Coroner would take in the anat- ter of admitting Simmons to bail. No sooner was it reported to the District Attorney that the Coroner had decided to release the pri- soner on a $10,000 bond than he determined to frustrate this, and have Simmons rearrested on a bench warrant. This could only be done, of course, through the regular routine—that is, by sending the evidence taken before tae Voroner’s jury to the Grand Jury of Che Court of Oyer and Terminer or General Sessions, THE TRAP, It was late in the forenoon before Mr. Phelps had heard of the Coroner's decision to take bail, and’he at ance sent the Coroner's testimony belore the Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer and Terminer. That body acted with commendable promptitude in the matter, and shortly before two o'clock an in- dictment had been tound against John BE, Simmons, charging hin with the wilful murder of Nicholas Duryea in Liberty street on the 16th of December, 1872, thereby, of course, setting the verdict of the Coroner’s jury, Which was tantamount to justifia- ble homicide, at naught, This indictment for an unbailable ofence was at once placed in the hands of District Attorney Phelps, who immediately hur- | ried to the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and, just | before the rising of the Court, moved for and ob- tained from Judge Brady a bench warrant for the rearrest of Simmons. At two o'clock the District Attorney had the warrant in his own office in the brown building. ‘ SHARP PRACTICE ALL ROUND. But quick as the District Attorney had been it Was evident that he had no time to jose, and that the friends of Simmons had had wind of what was going ferward in the Grand Jury room. At a quarter-past two o’clotck Simmons’ counsel, ex- Assistant District Attorney Fellows, hurried into the District Attorney's office and remained a short ‘time in one of the imner rooms, theugh it was generally supposed that at that time he was on his way to Bellevue Hospital to be present at the perfection of his client% $10,000 Obnd. AS ioe as District Attorney Phelps had obtained his behch warrant for Simmons’ ‘rest, he im- mediately sent it to Sheriff Brennan’s office with a hotice that the matter was one which would not admit of much delay, and that the prisoner must be lodged in the Tombs before night; Sheriff Bren- nan took the cue and detailed Deputy Sheriff See- bacher to make the rearrest. The latter jumped einto @ carriage and was on his way to Bellevue Hospttal at half-past two o’clock. Meanwhile, Sim- mons’ brothers, friends and proposed bondsmen had set out for Bellevue too. A legal Fi who saw the indictment found ainst Simmons by the Grand Jury informed a ERALD reporter that the medical testimony, which showed that the carotid artery had been severed by one gash of Simmons’ bowie-knife, was the principal part of the evidence which had induced the Grand Jury to indict him for wilful murder—an unbailable offence. THE DENOUEMENT. Coroner Keenan arrived at the hospital about half-past two o'clock, and repaired to the ceil of the prisoner, in which were already collected the friends of the latter, including his four brothers, The prisoner seemed to be in the best of spirits, the prospect of his speedy release having had a very beneficial effect upou his heaitn. His *, No. 199 Thompron street, and the bail bond was promptly signed and Simmons was virtually at liverty. | All preparations ‘had been made tor his vemoval to his residence, and the cava cade of relatives und iriends were about to start witu hxn, when a coupé drove up huriediy to tho entrance of the hospital, out of which umped Deputs Sherr Seebacher - und an assistant.

In the tollo recommendations we are sustained by o'sullivan, Physician :o the Board ef Eaucation, in connection with whom our inspections have been mate In our opinion ho: one of the numecrous school edifices have proper and adeiuate means ior thorough and per- Ventiution, While very ‘many have ventilating r in the walls’ for the purpose of il et not one that we inspected appeared to be of y practical benefit, owing either to obstruccion of the Mites or the want of a revolving turret on the top of the wall to produce a continuous current of air, [tas apparent t the most casual observer that without heat or some chanical appliance it is impossible to creaie or maint a current otatr through a fiue construcied in the walls of a building. Where tues are already placed in the wails we have recommended two openings, one teninchestrom the ceiling, the other ten inches from the floor, with a revolving turret placed upon the top of + the outer wail to produce a cross nt of air through the classroom, thus facilitating the egress of foul and im- pure air ani the i 5 it is the invariable and pernicious T the classrooms be come over! pure apd offen- sive, th op 1 e top; thus allowing a current ot cold air to rush in upon the heads ot the ehil- dren, producing catarrhal and bronchial affections, hout any perceptible benefit or apparent change in npurity of tho rooms. In the classrooms, where proper flues are not placed in the walls, we have recommended the adoption of rotat- ing ventilators, to be placed in the windows, which will establish a continuous cross current of air without creat- ing a draught or causing any of the nupleasant conse- quences resulting trom the present method con the 4 of ventilating by the opening of the windows. Itis of paramotint im- portance that some prompt and decisive measures be adopted whereby the classrooms may be provided with proper ventilation, and in very many oi the lower or Kround floor rooms with sufficiency of light. Some of these ground floor classrooms without any sub-cellar, and where the rays of the sun never enter, we have recommended be ated as totally unfit for occupation. One of these basement rooms, with over one hundred children, has only one window, and that opens into a space only eight feet in width between the school building and a three story brick building in rear. hie overcrowding of raany of the classrooms in the primary schools can best be illustrated by giving the ca- pacity of a few of the rooms, with the number of children occupying them :— 4,410 feet cub » 75 children, 60 feet per child. 37 cubie space, 67 children’ 56 child, cific space, 80 childr child, cubic space, 85 childr er child. 6,48) feet cubic space, 130 ¢ er child, Inalp stance the privies and uri are nost every. situated either within the school buildings or in the yards adjacent, in such proximity to the class roomé that offensive odors from the same readily fd access to. the interior of the rooms. Again, the floors and walls of the urinals are constructed ot wood, and soon become. sat Fated with urine by reason of ‘soakage, and « ntly emit foul odors. We have, in most instan recom mended that the Roors and walls of the urinals be cov. ered with metal or some other substance which is imper- vious to water. Tn, the case of the Jatinig flues to exten the school buildings Very tew of the slop sinks in the schools are provided roper (raps, and offensive sewer gases esc fassrooms by reason of this defect. in a I: ber of is ihe only water supply ison th floor. the water pipes extend even to the top floor this absence of water trom the upper rooms is & serious inconvenience to both teachers and scholars. We beg leave to allude to the general filihy eondition of the walls and ceilings of classrooms and halls, many of which have not been whitewashed or painted for several yeurs past, the only cleansing which they undergo being Rt the hands of the janitor, who is supposed to submit them to a thor h broom sweeping during the summer vacation, Although from the appearance ot many of them, even this semblance of cleansing is omitted, in many ofthe older buildings we find the walls and ceil. ings broken anc dilapidated, plastering fallen off, and the roots in a leaky condition, In nearly all the buildings erected expressly with reference to occupation as schools we find the mcans of escape incase of fire fully adequate; these being wide stone stairs froin several points on each story, although in most of the schoo! buildings on the upper part of the island the only means of escape are wooden stairways. A considerable number of buildings used as schoolhouses are old dwellings or tenement houses reconstructed care- lessly for the purpose of school accommodation, with- out regard proper means of egress, In every iustance we have found the difcipline and drilling of the scholars so perfect and admirable that the entire school could be vaeated in less than six minutes Whether this discipline could be maintained during d panic attendant upon’an alarm ot fire isa question be Yona our power to determine, Kespectiully submitieds AUG. eo ‘iy, {Health Inspectors. privios we have recommended vent to atleast two fect above the top of New York, Feb. 4, 1873. Assistant Inspector Tracy reports the rear ten- ement house Ne. 75 Mulberry street as unfit for human habitation by reason of its want ot repair. Ve says that the plastering has fallen from the walls and ceilings in numerous places, exposing the lathing underneath and admitting currents of cold air; that the whole buliding, hall, stairs and r C'ditiy with the accumulated dirt of years apparent! The windows are broken in almost every room, ad- mitting draughts of cold air and rain and snow. Pfanisters of the stairs are broken and insecure, and ingecaeiituces gone entirely. ‘The root leaks badly.” The building is in such a dilapidated state that the tenants are ¢ the weather, to put it in sucht continnally exposed to the inclemen it will require considerable ti as to render it habitable.
