“BEFORE THE MARRIAGE. A Herald Special Correspondent’s Mission to St. Petersburg. How He Travelled and Whom He Met by the Way. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES, Diplomatic Scandal---The Bride- groom Slightly Unpcpular, Patti in Opera—The Blessing of the Neva. Sr. Purerssure, Jan. 20, 1874. f special correspondents, as has been wisely said of the making of books, there is no end, and M% may be remarked with equal truth that each special has his specialty. ‘There is the topo- gtaphical correspondent, who 1s soclaborate his descriptions of churches and public buildings, nd whom we should think so wonderfully erudite 4f we did not know the assistance derived from the eopious handbooks of Appleton, Badeker and Murray; the statistical correspondent, who pil- lages blue-books and livres jaunes for details of Bumbers of population and area of territory; the hievorical, the romantic; the dilettante, who raves about art, and the practical, who discourses of the atyle of eating and the price of overshoes, Finally, there is the HERALD correspondent, the special ef specisis—the man who, at a few hours’ notice, starts oif to penetrate African deserts or to wander through Caucasian steppes, threading his way whither no chiid of civilization has ever previously penetrated, holding his life in his hand, enduring such hardships as one only reads of in the adven- tures of the old navigators or the earliest pioneers of humanity, exciting the astonishment and win- ming the admiration, not merely of the ‘gentle-. men who live at home at ease,” but of ‘the natives of the great lone lands into which he penetrates, and who stand awe-struck at the American’s safe return from dangers which they have never ventured to face. Such a correspond- ent having, in the discharge of his duty to the HERALD, made its readers acquainted with the inmost recessess of this great empire of the North, having depicted with a vivid pen the manners and customs of its inhabitants as well as his own hair- breadth ’scapes and accidents by flood and field, it would seem worse than impertinent in me to attempt to generalize upon Russia and the Rus- sians after @ few days’ residence in the country, nd I imagine I shall best fulfil my mission by confining myself to the description of what passes under my observation at this somewhat Pecullar time when the honored guests at the Winter Palace of St. Petersburg are the British Drinoes, one of whom 1s about to be married to the only daughter of the Czar. THE ROYAL PARTY OM THE JOURNEY. It happened that I travelled on the same train from Berlin to the Russian frontier with the Prince of Wales and his party, for whoge use had been set aside one of those commodious saloon carriages, a combination of drawing room and sleeping car, which the enterprise of Colonel Mann, an American gentleman, has recently introduced on the railways of continental Europe. The sight at the Ostbahn, or Eastern depot, at Berlin was eminently comic. The place was thronged with English funkeys, the “Jeameses’! whom Thackeray has immortalized, and who, in their long over- coats reaching to their heels, their cockade-bearing stovepipe hats, and with their flurry, their self-importance and their impossibility of making themselves understood, looked thoroughly out of place. ‘Ihe Prince of Wales and Prince Arthur, with their usual gentlemen in attendance, Wore standing by the steps of the car in which the Princess had already taken her seat, and the dandy officers of the English Guards, in their caps with gold bands and peaks; their neatly-fitting blue body coats, trimmed with braid, and their white kid gloves, formed a strange contrast to the crowd of bustling travellers, habited in every variety of costume, and among whom were to be found English newspaper correspondents, German merchants, Polish Jews, in long, greasy gabar- dines, and two or three pretty French women. After the train—an enormous one—was put in mo- Yon, about a quarter after eleven o’clock P. M., ek se aa ww mend | Tsaw no more of the royalties until three o'clock the next afternoon, when we arrived at the Gefinan frontier station of Eydtktihnen, where, on the opposite side of the platform, was waiting a special train, composed of three imperial saloons, some ordinary cars and baggage vans, which had been sent to meet the distinguished guests. The ‘train was decorated with Russian and English flags, and on the platform were some high Russiag, ofMicials, in full uniform, The royal party at once passed from the German to the Russian cars, and then an indescribable scene of confusion took Place, in which the British funkeys again came to ‘great grief, being surrounded and hustled by great hairy Moujiks, in long sheepskins, who, at the word of command, flung themselves upon the baggage ‘and occupted themselves with its transport, push- ing aside the English footmen who endeavored to interfere, and uttering what seemed to be frightful guage. You may imagine that this royal party travels with a few garments when | tell you that their baggage weighs seven tons! And since their arrival here a Queen’s messenger has brought out ‘to them three hundred weight more. While this was going on the people at the station amused them- Selves with staring into the imperial cars, in one of which @ long table, duly set for dinner with plate, ee. and china and lit by wax candies with Bilver branches, was laid out. At length, the traus- port having been accomplished, the special train get forth. We plebeians followed humbly some half hour after, and twenty-seven hours later ar- rived in St. Petersburg, without one event of any interest to break the monotony of the journey— 7, one:—At the second station after passing the tier there got into our car (made very much | upon the American principle, save that the ordt- Bary seats are at either end and the private sec- tions on each side of the middie connecting gang- Way) a Russian officer, followed by a soldier ser- Vant who handed in @ bag andretired. The officer ung himeeli into a corner, and after a minute or two, buried his face in his hands and groaned loudly. My travelling companion and I thought ‘the man was ill, and, touching bim on the shoulder, roffered my brandy flask, He took no notice of ‘this, and went on groaning, presently endeavorin; to ait upright, swayea ‘heavily over, looke around, muttered some: » and {81 back, glaring idiotically before him. Then we dis- Covered that this Russian officer in full uniform was not ill, only helplessly drunk. With a tol- erable amount of esi of many countries in the world, I can gafely say I never witnessed such @ humiliating spectacie. At the next station he staggered out and went reel about the refresh- ment room, boil A daha nobody seemed to take any notice o! ‘the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince arthur are lodged in one wing of the Winter Pal- ace, a magnificent butiding—o! stucco—on the left nk of ‘ihe Neva, and have had a suite of very jum ptuous rooms aliotted to them. Their equerries and attendants are at the Hotei Bellevue, which has been spe engaged. I presume it wasin order that the ceas of Wales might have longer time with her sister Ozarevna that the party came here so long before the marriage. As yet there have been no g) festivities, and the heir to the British crown is said to be feeling “bored.” In the company of her sister the Princess of Wales is quite a reat being from her ordinary self. Her Slways sweet face joses that settled melancholy expression which it go constantly wears, and it was 80 tried ia last London season, when the Ozar- evitch and his wife were staying at Hamilton House that whenever the aisters were seen in pub- lic bo Nag ols in Leche te and ie bre into fits of hearty laughter.

When the Duke of Edinbu: came out here, a few weeks ago, it was publicly announced that Mr. Micheil was appointed interpreter and guide—‘“bear leader,” tn point of fact—to him and to the Prince during their When, therefore, on my way out here, I met Mr. Michell’ at berlin and learned that he was on bis way to England with despatches, and did not oxpers to return, I was much astonished. On arrival here, I fount the English colony telling at Mr. Michell’s expected departure, at whicb the Prince was re- tobe much @mazed. What the reason ior the act was 1s still officially unexplained, but the fact is, tyat che Emperor took occasion to explain to Lora tus Loftus, the British Ambassador, dislike to Mr. Michell, and his positive ret e him any longer at Court. Under these circumstances the Ambassador could only find means to send bis subordinate off witnout any scandal, What were the grounds for the imperial dislike no one knows. Some that Mr. Michell knew too much of the inner life of the Russian Court; others that the Emperor imagined that the articles against Russia as regards the Khivan an- nexation, which have appeared in the London Times ag emanating from their Berlin correspond- ent, were really Inspired by Mr. Michell. Of the truth of these rumors it is imposatble to give any opinion. ‘The fact remains that Mr. Michell ia not here, and there i no one at the English Embassy to tale ua place, wie: ‘T THE Knowing the fondness of his quests for operatic and theatrical performances, the Emperor has caused them to be taken several times to the thea- tre, though be has nothimself accompanied them. On Friday, the night aiter their arrival, they visited the Grand Theatre, where Italian Opera ven, Patti in ‘La Traviata” drew a tremendous house, eighteen roubles ($12) being asked and paid for a seat, The state box is in the centre of the house, ‘tate occasions by the im- but this is only used on 8! perial visitors, who, on this evening, were in two distinct stage boxes.

She was dressed in white, a8 was the Prineess Dagmar, while the Princess of Wales, who lookea much fatigued after her long journey of the previous day, wore a high, dark brown silk gown. The Duke of Edinburgh was with his bride for a few minutes, but the greater part of the evening he remained in the Rext box close onto the stage. Adelina Patti was in splendid voice and sang charmingly, and the opera, 80 far as mise en scéneand decorations Were concerned, was‘splendidly mounted. I was, however, very much disappointed with the theatre.

High officials, both Russian and English, ye in the habit of speaking of the forthcoming marriage as one which 1s not merely likely to make comforta- ble certain diplomatic relations, but as pein highly Opposed by the people of botn countries. I am in @ position to state that, while in England the al- lance does not excite the slightest interest—there being so many English Princes that no one out of their family circle cares who they marry—here the Duke of Edinburgh is decidedly not popular. The people dislike the expreasion of his tace, which they flud stern and forbidding, though undoubtedly I) handsome; they disli ner, and they complain that he does not pay sui Glent respect to the Emperor, nor suificientjatten- tion to his betrothed. Itis perhaps, under these circumstances, fortunate that he does not intend living in Russia. Foreign princes need not mind . What the compatriots of their wives think of them. Look at Christian of Schleswig, who married Prin- cess Helena of England; his brothers-inlaw snub him, Punch jeered at him and the people were sup- Posed to be strongly adverse to tue marriage, an yet he gets.on well enough. & SHADOW OVEN THE ES, and a check given even to the few ante-nuptial festivities which had’been prepared by the some- what sudden death of Field Marshal Berg. Thia yeteran, who was over eighty years of age, came from Warsaw, where he resided, to take a share in the ceremonial, but caught cold and died at the Hotel Démouth on Sunday evening. He had al- ways been noted for his ynflinching severity of discipline, and when the Polish insurrection of 1863 broke out, Marshal Berg was sent to suppress it. This he did with the atest by a] re- ceiving from-the Emperor, as his reward, the Gov- ernorship of Poland, which he held till fis death. The Emperor was very fond of the old man, who Was always treated with regal honors, and when pe heard that hus old servant lay ul! went in person see him. ep sey was buried this morning (Tuesday), the Emperor and the Prince of Wales attending on horseback. : THE BLESSING OF THE NEVA. An hour after this veteran had breathed his last, the Emperor, his guests and all the Court attende according to annual custom, the ceremony blessing the waters of the Neva, which takes Place every 6th of January (old style), and is a grand and interesting ceremonial. In accordance with the remarkable courtesy. which has been shown to the representatives of the press since our arrival here, we were allowed to witness the roceedings irom one,of the windows of the Winter Palace. ‘t halt-past ten o’clock a gun was fired as a signal, the great gates of tne Palace were thrown Open, and @ procession, such as I have scarcel ever seen before, marched forth. It was heade by a very thin priest, with long, fair hair banging far down over his shoulders, carrying a red lamp, which he swung to and fro with a rotatory motion, chanting at the same time a nymn. Foljowing him appeared another priest, tujling undé¥ ‘he weight of a huge cross. Then came a serried mass of soldiery, walking four abreast, followe@by a bevy of ofticers in uniforms of every possible con- ceivable hue, from the purest white or brightest Scarlet tg the deepest purple, and even dead black, dreds and hundreds of these officers poured forth, followed by scores of ecclesiastics, allin the rgeous robes of the priesthood of the Greek hurch, and, making one unbroken line, formed Found @ gayly decorated kiosk, which had been erected for the purpose on the river bank. Then the Metropolitan of the Greek church, a venerablé fooking pa- triarch, issued rk, ad fO0K up his position in the kiosk, Sjosely Tollowed by the Emperor and the Rugalan én Inglish princes, all in jull uniform. The Metropolitan raised his hand to heaven in prayer, and immediately that vast concourse, stretching far away along the river bank, number- ing hundreds of thousands, stood, in one instant, bareheaded. An attendant priest then descended the steps of the kiosk with a hammer in one hand the river, and filling the cup with the water which had bubbied up, presented it on bended knee to the Metropolitan. After a blessing had been in- voked upon it it was handed to the Emperor, who touched it with nis lips and then passed it to the others; recovering the cup when it was empty, the Emperor filled it with half imperial gold pieces and ave it to the Metropolitan jor the poor. A rocket fazed in the air, and an imperial salute of 101 guns from the fortress on the other side of the river proclaimed that the ceremony was accomplished, A COMPENSATION AND A CONTRAST. On this same Sunday afternoon the Princess at- tended English divine service at the Episcopal chapel, where Dean Stanley, of Westminster Ab- bey, who has come out expressly to perform the Anglican marriage ceremony, preached a very ef- fective sermon, taking for his text the words, “There was @ marriage in Cana of Galilee,”’ The Dean, who has travelled in the East, made a capital word picture of the scene of the miracle; and when he worked round to the iorthcoming mar- riage was eloquent and brilliant. The chapel, which holds about 600, was crammed, many Rus- sian ladies of rank being present; but, in the even- Ing, on the principle, I suppose, of conforming to the customs of the natives, and doing in Russia ag the Russians do—wnich holds good here as well as at Rome—the Princes went to tne opera, and were parently delighted with a new French bailet, “ie Papillon” (the Butterfly), produced for the first time on that occasion, THE AMERICAN MINISTER'S HOSPITALITY. The rival festivity of the week has been the ball last night given by the American Minister and Mra. Jewell. The offices of the Legation are con- veniently situated on the Moika canal, aud here lives the Secretary, Mr. Schuyler, who t8 not on most amiable gnd courteous, out, now Mr. Michell has gone, is supposed to be, of all ingers here, the one most acquainted with Russian manners, language and literature. The Minister, Governor Jewell, is splenaidly lodged on the Boulevard, and there the ball was heid. Some of the Grand Dukes and English Princes had agreed to be present, but the sudden death of Marshal Berg revented their coming. There was, however, & Ene assemblage of about 400 guests, and among them the best peopie in Russian society, Princes and Counts were a8 common as ordinary citizens in other countries, and the display of robes, diamond stars, collars of briliianta and blue and red ribbons was beyond all telling. The com- pany were presented by Mr. Schuyler to the Gov- ernor and Mrs. Jewell, who, with their two charm- ing daughters, did the honors of reception. Prom- ‘ment among the guests was General Kaufmann, the Commandes-in-vhief of the recent expe- dition against Khi us @& wiry, tough-look- ing, lithe man, bald-neaded, with a snow-white Mustache, but who, neither phystognomically nor in conversation gives one the idea of any great capacity. The Marquise de Gaux (née Ade- lina Pati) was also the cynosure of all, looking remarkably well and pretty, dressed in a green silk gown, trimmed with rich point lace and with a very long train; she was very animated and had @ kind word and @ pleasant smile for all who were presented to-her. The American colony at Petersburg is very small, but all the citizens were present, prominent Gr Be being Mr. Prince, ‘who has lived here for thirty-tve years, and his family, and the deservedly popular Consul Colonel Ponisetz, who was in full uniform. All the Am- bassadors at the Ruastan Court were present, as were the representatives of the English press, sent out to attend the marriage, who spoke in the warmest terms of the way in which they had been received by tne American Minister and Mr. Schuy- ler, and contrasted 1¢ with the conauct of their own representative, The ball was carried on with great vigor tfl tour A. M.; and if, after that, some Of the guests found themselves in the Governor's sa.ctum, cigars and etceteras, it is surely not a matter which should be published in the hewspapers—ehould it ? &.

Meeting of the Commissioners—Report of the Architect—Discassion and Action Thereon, The Commission appointed by the Legisiature te superintend the erection of a new city prison met yesterday afternoon in the Mayor's office. All the members were present, Mayor Havemeyer presid- ing; Comptrolier Green ana Presidemt Vance of the Board of Aldermen, ‘The minutes of the previous two seasrons of the Commission were read and approved. The Comptroller stated that Mr. Calvert Vaux, ‘who has been selected as the architect of the new city prison, Was not pxesent on account of sick- hess, but was represented by Mr, Withers, ‘That gentleman had strewn upon the floor a plan of the new Bridewell, and also as it will appear whenever it may be completed. Mr. Morrison, Clerk to the Board, read the re- Port of the persons selected to examine the Tombs and see whether it ia feasible to rebuild it s0 a3 to meet the exigencies of the times, The report submitted is as follows :— REPORT OF ARCHITECTS ON THE TOMBS. New York, Jan. 23, 1874. Hon. Wiuuiam F, Hayewzysr, Chairman of New Cit, Prison Soaantian — 7 Siz—in accordance with your instructions we have made an examination of the present City Prison building Jor the purpose of forming an opinion, in regard to the changes or extensions that could be judiciously under- taken on the present site. The lot goounles by the Prison And two court rooms is 200 feet by 235g feet, and the space occupied by the existing buildings is shown on the ac- companying plan. The prison building known as the Tombs isa stone structure, with four stories of cells arranged on each side of @ central well. The construction is peculiar im one particular, the cell walls tacing the well not being built one over the other, but setting back story after story, so that while the lower colls are 53<x9 feci, those on the upper tler are only 5i¢x7 tect. As this latter dimension is too small to repeat in new work it is evident that additional accommodation could not ob- tained by simply adding several stories to the top of the verre uilding. We also tound that if the present cell mensions in the upper story were satistactory, the ‘walls were cracked in several places, and all the evidence we were able to procure indicated that it would be un- Wise to attempt to obtain increased prison accomodation by adding to that building. We therefore agsume this to be out of the question and’ proceed to consider how new buildings could best be adjusted to the exigencies of the Position. Two new buildings might be erected without much of the present permanent structure. Each of these might contain ten stories of ten cells each, making 20 cells in all. Yo optain this accommodation the outer wall of the building would have to coincide with the line of the outer wall of the lot, which is undesirable. Another plan gives a@ block of building entirely clear of the outer walls sufficiently large to provide 300 cells, Mf carried ten stories high. This would involve the destruction of court and its Feadinsiment in the south portien of the building facing Centre street. It would then occupy @ position corresponding with the present Police Court, to which there seems to be no objection. To make either of the improvements above suggested it would be necessary to sweep away fourteen cells tor boys, twenty-two cells for women and the present day room in the courtyard for what ate known as ten days Pihoners, and in the latter case all accommodation for Je) 7m. The main objec! to the construction of new buildings on the sites suggested are :—Firstly, that the space between the new structure and the buildings to be re (as_will be seen from t plan) greater seventeen feet, which is insufficient dimension for light and ventila- in the lower stories; and, secondly, the foundation is of a character that’ would {require great expenditure of money merely to prepate the erection of pony, and necessarily heavy buildin; rison bu: thatextend down, we are credibly informed, to a d of fifty or sixty feet. It would be desirable and te: le vo ascertain the Sxtoniato which the present buildings and the gularity of the settlement in one room y have felt called on to make at this time, because it seems sufliciently evident with- out minute investigation that it would be injuai- cious to enter on the delicate and expensive work of excavating and piling for a large new butiding close to an gid one on a poor foundation unless some very decided advantages were to be obtained. So far as economy of construction im the buildings them- selves is concerned it is clear tltat all the money sunk in the special preparation of a bad foundation would be so much added to the cost of the same buildings erected on elevated gravelly soil, such as is to be found on the site indicated in the report of the Prison Commission already issued. It seems evident to us, therefore, with. é ¥ Out going into,any such questions ae. the best weory of ke) dapohes cp ern 2 er qe pee Gt bas or even the healthfulnegs or un- treet: Edward Davis, No. 90’ Leonard sti ealthfulness of the site or neighborhood, that it | &! ie wal ravis, No. Tee! would be uneconomical and inexpedient to attempt | John Lynch, No. 213 West Thirteenth stree the erection of heavy blocks of buildings in such immed’ | Edward Jon (0, vest ate propingult to tl er pasate: ie a pel Daan crane fourth street; Edward Walsh, No. Phere ‘ pyle: 'y | Zwelfth street; Thomas Colway, No. 447 West If the proposition were made to erecta ew prison oh bee ‘ é the ‘present depot site and afterward to erecta new | TWenty-fittn street; Lewis Hendrioks, No. 26 East court house building, connected with it by bridges across the street, om the site of the b prison, buildings. The area of ground occupied would differ little from that in. - cluded in the proposed new site; but the comparative Cost of the foundations buildings would differ of the two eatly taat the building on the marshy site would it cost a great deal more to erect than the other.

Res % , Hat! Architect, * FIELD, Architect. After the reading of the above Comptroller Green said that the sum and substance of the re- port was that it would not be safe to ptild new stories on the present walls of the Tombs, but a new structure could be erected inside the walls, He doubted if it would be good policy to do so, however, as the building itself was built on piles, and if any additions were made to the Tombs new piles would have to be ariven in for a secure foundation, Mayor Havemeyer stated as his opinion that to add new stories would not require new piles. Mr. Withers remarked that new ones would be requisite if only one story was added. ‘The Mayor said the present accommodations for risoners were too scant. The main reason for he want of a new prison seemed to be the reports as to the unhealthy condition of the present one, He had been tnformed that the late John A. Ken- nedy had said that there never was a case of chol- era Within its precincts, and he (the Mayor) had never heard of any diseases being there. Prison- ers, as a rule, were there but for a limited time, What use was there for providing for 300 addi- tional celia or to add five or six stories? The city may need a new prison in time, but not now. Mr. Vance introduced the following resolution, which was adopted :— Resolved That a sammary of the proceedings of this commission and the reports made under Its authority be compiled and printed in pamphlet torm, and that the plans sunmitted for the new city prison be photographed to accompany the ame, Mr. Vance stated that the object of having the proceedings printed was to show what had been one, and also the necessities of a new prison. He nad no desire to spend any more of the public's money than was necessary; but he thought it bet- ter to stop the expenditure of millions of dotlars for other improvements not needed, and expend some for the benefit of unfortunates who are or may be confined in pestilential dungeons. As it was now, prisoners were crowded together tike sardines in @ box, causing diseases to be con- tracted. ‘The Mayor said the location was bad. He recol- lected when it was built; people then sald it was not located properly, and it went by the name of the “Tombs.” Mr. Vance—‘Suppose it received that name from its Fgyptian style of architecture?” The MAYOR—“Think not. It received that name because whenever anybody got tn it as @ prisoner, there was no hope; such @ one was gone forever.”’ Mr. Vance said that it was emipesenre, Mig have had criminal courts increased, but no ex¥ra accom- modations had been thought of for their prisoners. Mr. Vance also remembered that the Regiater’s office was @ regular tinder box. If it was destroyed by ire, the loss would be in- calculable. If the new prison was erected the District Attorney’s office and the Sheriff's office could be removed to tt. The Register could find quarters that are fireproof, where the Sheriff's offices are now, and the Corporation Counsel could remove to the brown stone building, thereby sav- ing much rent to the city, ‘he Comptroller reminded Mr. Vance that one 1s ago the Common Council had requested the gislature to fe the new City Prison bill, and that not many days ago it had requested the Legis- lature to repeal the bill, The Commission then adjourned, to meet at the call of the Chair to consider the reportof the architects, which is now before them. A MAN KILLED ON THE EIGHTH NOB RAILROAD, On Monday evening Mr. James Lynch, forty-five years of age, and @ native of this city, who for nineteen years had been a resident of Tobyhonna, Monroe county. Pa., died at Bellevue Hospital from the effects of injuries received the same morning. It appears that deceased left the resi- dence of his sister, No. 316 West Forty-third street, where he had been visiting for several weeks, for the purpose of caing on his brother in Fulton Market, and took car No. 3 of the Fignth Avenue Railroad Company. In stepping from the front plattorm of the car corner of Chariton and Hudson streets Mr, Lynch either fell or was knocked down, and, one of his arms bee the track, the car wheel passed over and crusted it terribly. He was forthwith removed to the hospital, where death ensued, as stated. Coroner Woltman was notified, and will make a thorough investigation of the circumstances attending the casualty. RAILROAD SQUABBLE IN NEW JERSEY. Ata large meeting of the stockholders of the Paterson and Newark Railroad this afternoon it Was resolved to vigorously press the measure to Fecover possession of the road which the Erte Com- pany recently obtained, AVE- "| Fifty-ninth street; James Munson, | dered the following decision:—“We find you all k A GREAT DAY FOR THE COCK FIGHTERS. Thirty-seven Cock Fighters Arraigned at Special Sessions—Fined $20 Each—Bergh’s Great Speech Interrupted by the Crowing of One of the Captured Game Cocks, “At an early hour yesterday morning Captain Ctinehy and some nine or ten of his officers ushered into the Tombs Police Court about thirty- seven men who were charged with being present at a cock fight at 122 Mott street, aud were ar- rested there about one o’clock yesterday morning. They were a promiscuous and @ motley crowd, but they took their imprisonment good naturedly. Counsellor Edmund J. Price appeared on their be- half and demanded an immediate examination. Judge Bixby, before whom they were arraigned, offered them the choice of being tried yesterday or Thursday before the Court of Special Sessions, ‘The cock fighters, en masse, asked to be tried yes- terday. John Mulholland, the alleged proprietor of the place, 122 Mott street, was bailed in $500 by Patrick Campbell, and the rest were immediately brought before Juages Sherwood, Otterbourg ana Murray at Spectal sessions. ‘The court room was crowded with the friends of the prisoners and sympathizers, and when the whole crowd were placed behind the rails andar- raigned at the bar the benches were filled with peering, anxious faces. Even in the part of the court set aside for Jadies numerous friends of the cock fighters abounded. Mr. Bergh was the first to speak, He read the law on the subject, showing what amount of penalty could be extended to those so-called male- factors, and actually begged of the Court to be as severe a8 possible, ag he said that cock fighting ‘was one of the worst aspects of cruelty to animals, Officers McNulty, Evans and Nokware were called, and gave their testimony as to the raid on the place. They said they went in there separately, paid for their tickets and were admitted to the cockpit, and by a previous arrangement with the police they had the door opened for them in the middie of the fight. Nokware, an officer of the society, testified that he saw two fights and also saw two dead cocks In the pit, He also averred that he heard the proprietor say, When the police came in, “Turn the gas down, boys; “Turn the gas down, quick."' This testimony, however, was not corroborated. After all the testimony had been heard, Coun- sellor Price made a speech for the defence, asking tor the discharge of William Wilson and Frank Devoe, who, by the testimony of the officers brought forward, were shown not to have been in the cock-pit, but merely customers in the barroom ene He then asked the Court to be merciiul in its treatment of the other men, who were all workingmen, and who consid- ered that they were merely spectators; in tact, enjoying What they thought a legitimate amuse- | me: Mr. Bergh made a speech, in which he called for severe punishment on the men arraigned as the aiders and abettors of brutal and inhuman prac- tices. the midst of nis address one ol the captured gamecocks, which he had brought into court as evidence, crowed lustily three or four times, which brought roars of laugh- ter irom the whole court. ven the bench of judges could not refrain from smiling, and it was some time before order was restored.

It may be said, and truly, that the | manufacturers have given in at all points to the demands of the operatives, and the strike is prac- tically ended. The spacious Covenant Hall, No, 56 Orchard street, was packed yesterday to its utmost ca- pacity by the anxious and determined workmen from an early hour in the day until after five o’clock in the evening. The atmosphere was sick- eningly close, fotid and warm, The perspiration streamed down the faces of speakers as well as | auditors, Packed, as they were, like sardines, It | was no easy matter for them to make way for a representative of the HERALD, whom the strikers received with the utmost good humor, giving vent to such expressions as, “Give the workingmen @ show,” “The HERALD has reported us fairly,” &c. The workmen, who smarted under what they considered the insult put upon their body by the way in which the manufacturers had iormerly received their committee, appointed a new dele. gation, at the head of whom was Mr. Lehman. mtleman briefly told the employers, on behalf of his fellow-craftsmen, that he represented 800 workingmen and 500 women; he was instructed | to return the bosses’ new schedule; tear 1t in pieces before their eyes (which he did), and say that no lurther communications would be sent to the bosses, who, the men stated, would at last be obliged to sign the strikers’ schedule without any deviation from its fixed pr.ces, Mr. Rochstein gave @ contribution of $25 to aid the Central Union. A gentleman from the firm of Rosenbaum & Petersan presented himself to the meeting, com- plaining that although his house had long ago signed the price list he couldyhave no workmen, ‘The Union thought best to withhold the hands without giving any explanation or reason for so loing. "Atthis juncture of the proceedings a commotion of no ordinary nature took possession of and swayed to and fro the anxious, sweltering, fainttn; multitude. A murmur arose at the door, an gathering shape as it Noated towards the platform, announced to the eager throng that “The bosses havecome! Theyareallhere!” They were, and were received in no very good mood, either, by their obstinate workmen. The following gentle- men, after a struggle that started tne perspira- tion to their brows, elbowed a passage to the plat- form:—Messrs, Isador, Heims, Phillips, Tanis- ter, Corn, Marks and some others. The formidapie Mr. Isador spoke in German. He blarneyed the workingmen, admitted the wrongs complained of, and asked moderation in their de- mands for jake Of ail concerned, The speaker thought that an increase of ten per cent would be allowed on old prices.

His labor was greatly facilitated by the admirable arrangements made by President Morton for the projection of the pictures. ‘The Professor retierated his convi tion that something tangible might yet be arrive at by mapping the stellar clusters in various ways, thereby to show the general drift of outside cloud- lets and suns toward the Milky Way.
