WEST AFRICA Herald Special Report from London. Failure of the Congo Explora- tion Expedition. The Commander Deserted by the Larger Number of His Men. ALMOST ALONE AFTER TEDIOUS TRAVEL History of the Expedition---Its Organization aud Equipment. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special ‘despatch to the Henarp bas been received from our corre- spondent in the British metropolis: ~ Lospon, ‘April 6, 1874. Rumors which have reached here from the Portuguese territory, in West Africa, report the utter failure of the second—or Congo River—expedition for exploration. ALMOST ALONE. | Lieutenant Grandy, chief of the under- taking, was left with only seven men in his command, his brother, with the remainder of the party, returning to the coast. The Congo River Exploration Expedi. ton—Its Object, Departure and Means— ‘The Chance of Finding Livingstone. ‘The African’ Steamship Company's steamship Nigretia, which sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, November ‘0, 1872, took out the members of what Was termed the Livingston-Congo Exploration Expedition, uader command of Lieytenant Grandy and bis brother; both of these officers having been commissioned by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the sources of the Congo River, and, if vosstble, to relieve Doctor Livingstone. he Messrs. Grandy were destined tor Loando, where they landed, aud proceeded immediately onward tn their search. THE OBJECT AND MEANS OF THE EXPEDITION. At a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, held in London on Monday evening, November 25, 1872, Sir H. Rawlinson stated that as the Society had received a check for £2,000 from Mr. Young, arrangements had been made Lieuten- ant Grandy to start for Africa during the Week. ‘the government, be was happy to say, had given them all the assistance in their power. The Foreign Office had furnished letters to the officers on the West Coast for the purpose of pro- curing the expedition all possible facilities, and the African Steamship Company had given to the Officers of the’ expedition passages at half the usual price. Then, again, the War Oftice had been applied to for the use of arms, and they said in the most handsome Manner that they did not think they could give arms on loan—that they would Father give the arms altogether, and that not only for the West but for the East Coast expedition. ‘They had therefore every sort of encouragement in the work they had undertaken, Lieutenant Grandy’s first object would be to strike the Congo somewhere about the Rapids, and then to follow the river towards its source in the interior of the continent. If their expecta- tions were realized they might hope that Lieuten- ant Grandy would fall in with Dr. Livingstone somewhere towards the end of next year (1873) in the neighborhood of the unknown lake, the one descending the Lualaba and the other ascending the Congo. AID FROM PRUSSIAN SCIENTISTS, The Serlin Geographical Society opened sub- acriptions at the same time for a contemplated Congo expedition, Dr. Gtissfeld, the giacier ex- Plorer, who was to head the enterprise, gave nearly $5,000 to be expended in the assistance of either a Prussian or English expedition, but the reports of progress have been at all times vague nd rather unsatisfactory. for ENGLAND.

One of Bellini’s most tuneful and popular operas, and the one in which the greatest lyric artists from Pasta, for whom it was written, down to the present time, have won their chiefest triamphs, signalized the first appearance of Mile. Kima Di Murska lest evening at the Academy of Music. “La Sonnambula’ has been favored with many remarkable representations in thia city. We bave had Bosio, Salvi and Marini, Sontag, Salvi and Marini, La Grange, Brignoli and Badtali, Adelina Patti, Brignoli and Morelli and Kellogg, Brignoli and Amgdio, and last nigit there appeared Di Murska, Verats and Rossi Gali, Of all the Aminas we have mentioned none can be accredited witha greater facility of execution, a more extraordinary voice, a more artistic method and such a command of phenomenal effects in roulades, cacenzas, trills, &c., than Di Murska, Equally to be admired ia the neatness, finish and taste she brings wo cantabile passages, from the opening cavatina, ‘“Oome per me sereno,” to the beautiful “Ah! non crede murarti’’ ip the last scene. Her phrasing is char- acterized by intelligibility and dntsh, and even in recitauve passages, which so few o: the artists of the present day are capavie of tuterpreting, Mlie. Dt Murska shows the school of tue thorough artist. The bravura music, woich is plentifuily distributed | Throughout the Ole of Aminu, was sung with a de- | gree of brilliancy that electrified tne house, In | the concluding cabaletta, “Ah! non giunge,'’ she introduced the most beautiful varfations, and her voice ranup toGin alt, with the most pericot ease, and finng around the melody a gitteriag spray of forituri and bravura ettects that caused a thrill of astonishment among the audience. It 18 unnecessary to speak of the other members of the company Who appeared lust night, The: were not calculated to tmspire confidence or ad- Miration, The prima donna might have justly said on the occasion, Apr’s moi, le deluge. Ou Wednes- day evening Mile, Oi Murska sings the utle rove in “Linda di Chamounix,” and in the Jinale of the opera she will introduce. the c brated “Carnival of Venice,” which Sir Julius Benedict wrote for Jenny Lind, perhaps the most diméult, ina techmeal point oi view, ever com- posed for the human voice. Among the noteworthy events of the opening | of the Easter holidays was the reappearance at the Grand Opera House last night of those tavor- ites with the theatre-goers of New York, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence: They ‘put in an appearance" at this time under the management of Mr. Joseph H. Tooker, whose experience in theatrical matters warrants the assurance that no surroundings will be lacking to render che present en- gagement of the Florences one of the most succeasfal they have ever enjoyed in this city, They appeared last night in Falconer's pieusant play of ‘Kileen Oge,” u story of Irish life, hh which the characteristics of the race are pur- trayed with touching and amusing effect. Mr. Florence’s character of Bryan O’¥arrell is full of the rollicking humor of the Irish peasant, and the peals of laughter he provokes shows that his | eliorts are iully appreciated by his audience, Mrs, Fiorence, as Bridget Maguire, fully maintemed er reputation as a delghtiully vivacious and piquant actress. She was encored last night three tim in one of her songs. The “haymaking scene” in “Eileen Oge" weut of with great spirit and wat, over @& hundred auxiliaries par- ticipating in the jolly work and revelry. Mr. Tooker has gathered an excellent company, incindmg Messrs. Hart, Conway, Owen Fawcett, J. W. Jennings, George F, De Vere, James Peakes, and those well known favorites, Miss Iona Burke and Miss Minnie Conway. ‘The perlormances went off to the satisfaction Of a very respectable audi- ence, With a good stock company and such star attractions as fhe Florences there is no reason why the Grand Opera House showd not “go right aloug’’ on the tull tide of success, Fox's Broadway Theatre. This theatre was opened last evening with much giory. Attendants crowded the bouse literally from “pit to dome’’—the dome of the theatre being easily touched by the people who crowded the upper gallery. “Humpty Dumpty at Home,” the new name of the often revised pantomime, is somewhat ofa misnomer, Mr. Fox is at the Broadway Theatre, but Humpty Dumpty | has nohome, He roves always. making mis- chief that usually results disasironsly to himself! But LO Dumpty has almost, i! not entirely, | exhausted the power of workiug mischief that may | be laughed at. There may be some persons who have not seen the tricks of Humpty, but they cannot be many, and if they would go to see them speedily, | so that Fox may appear in a new condition, many | P other peopfe will be thankful to them. OI! course Humpty Dumpty, whetuer showing his adventures “at home” or “abroad,” will always have specta- tors. No one can resist the tun that is compelled by watching the cxpressigns that flit over his face at the conception or execution of some idea, or the occurrence of some phenomenon that seems to have been unexpected by him. In short, Fox's or Humpty Dumpty’s face is the great source of pleas- ure-at the Broadway Theatre. The stage carpenter's ability may be exhausted in endeavor, but every one who goes to @ performance in which Fox 18 concerned will only go again to see his face, to note the expressions that their own faces should assume at every trick of mechanical exe- cution concentrated and intensified upon his, Fox 18 certain to draw, but for that reason ‘Humpty Dumpty” should not always be retained on the stage. The pantomime is now somewhat freshened and a hveliness imparted to it by a variety of Performances not intimately concerned with it. The best of these are the pertormances of the Spalding Beil Ringers and of the Orrin Brothers and Mile. de Lacia, gymnasts. The baslet concerned in the entertainment is re- markably poor, but the leading dancers, Miles, La Bella and Enerice Venerina, are very graceful and agile. The evidence of last bikie Fog that Fox’s Broadway Theatre is to be a successful and lasting addition to the number of our places of amuse- ment. The Lyceam Theatre. A large and select audience assembled at this theatre last night to witness the production of the announced “Paristan Folly.’ Very few, perhaps, had any clear idea of what kind of an entertainment a ‘Folly’ might be; bat they expected it to be some- thing sensational and unique. The management sumered under the serious disadvantage of want of time for preparation and organization, as the Aimée troupe only deserted the temple of bouffe on last Saturday evening. It required something like dramatic heroism to undertake the production of a new piece in- volving most complicated stage arrangements, and yet the leat was accomplished with very fair success. It was, however, found impossible to present the “Folly” with the completeness of effect that the management hopes to attain in a few days, so that the performance last night lacked the unity which a little more organization wili im- part to it. Itis dificult to give unity to an enter- tainment made up of the most heterogenous materials. The performance last night consisted of pantomime, bailet, tumbling, skating, velocipeding, juggling, and was closed by a new transformation scene. it had all the elements of a great popular success, but a few days must elapse before we can judge whether the matertal will be used to the best advantage. The entertainment has certainly the merit of novelty, and is likely to become popular. The production of the champion swim- mer of England on the stage pertoruing in real water is certainly @ novelty, and the public seemed delighted to make the acquaintance ot a man capable of remaining under water for three minutes and a half without becoming a subject for a Coroner’s inquest, Schultze’s “Masks and Faces”? is also a very sat peiale performance and shows the performer possessed of wonderful control over | his facial expression. The entertainment opened with an excellent comic pantomime in which several clever pantomimists Sopedred, who aid not spare themselves har knocks in their efforts to please the public, Mile, Bonfanti appeared in an aris Shadow ballet and received general and weil-deserved applause, The general quality of the performers is far above the average, and there can be no doubt that as soon as they get into better order they will secure a@ large amount of public favor. Slight changes will suggest themselves to the management in the duration of some of the performances, and something will have to be done to make the orchestra work more harmoniously with the people on the stage. There were & few hitches, incidental to a first performance; but the public were tuchued to be good-natured, and the excellent quality of most Of the performance made them lenient with the shortcomings which were noticed. Mrs. Conway’s Theatre, Brooklyn. The “Fairy Circle’ last night was played with greatsuccess, Barney Williams revealed all his old } power. On the part of Mfs, Williams there was no falling off. The sfterpiece, in which figured prominently Mre. Williams, Mr. Chippendale, Mr. Barr and Mr. Brutone, was played to the entire satisfaction ‘of the audience, which was large and enthusiastic. On the whole, the performance last night, the first might after Easter, was a big success, Mrs, Conway has good reason to be satisfied with the good will of tie Brooklyn public, which she tndustriously and in- geniously strives to please.

CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS. | WA SHING I Ce A Democratie Tidal Wave Sweeps the Nutmeg State. -——~ Governor Ingersoll and His En- tire Ticket Elected. dic tte! MAJORITY IN THE LEGISLATURE. The Way Clear for 2 Democratic United States Senator. Harrvorp, Conn., April 6, 1874, edmlaistration has received another em- Connecticut, follow- ing in the wake of New Bampshire, has turned up thoroughly democratic. The Governor, both branches of the Legislature and everything ts of the same anti-administration stripe. Governor In- gersoli 8 re-elected by from 1,000 to 1,500 majority over all. And among the twenty-one Senators there will be a democtatic majority ot eight or ten, and in the House the major- ity will be between forty-five and fifty. Henry D. Smith, of Southington, the anti-rum can- aidate, hax received about 5,000 votes—a much larger number than was anticipated even by hia most radical temperance supporters. It is true that the democrats were tn possession of the field at the start, out the prolonging of their power by such a positive and unmistakable ex- pression of the peopie as is manifested by the vote to-day is a circumstance which was not anticipated even by the most sanguine within their own ranks. That the repuolicans would be defeated in the Gubernatorial contest has been transparent to the impartial observer ever since the nominating conventions were held. They hoped, however, to gain a republican Legislature, in view of the election of a United States Senator to succeed the vacancy whfch will ensne by the expiration of the term of Senator Buckingham, but even this hope vanished several days ago. AN FASY VICTORY. And after all the result of the election may there- fore be simply regarded as the fulfilment of com- mon and popular anticipation. The campaign, Uke the election itself, has been an exceptionally quiet one for Connecticut, The stump orators, vontires and torcblighs processions, which have for 80 many years been conspicuous features The 3 of political strifes in this section, were | entirely dispensed with by -both parties, and the people have only been influenced by common observation and common intelligence. The democrats thought they had a “sure thing’ on the State and regarded it as a useless expense tO make &# buncombe campaign, and, on the other band, the republicans were disheartened and dis- couraged early. in the canvass, aud mutually agreed to die without a struggle. A GREAT TUMBLE. “The tumble has been great,” said a prominent republican to the HERALD reporter to-night. “Our party has had too many heavy weights here in the State, tosay nothing about misgivings o! the ad- ministration. The only real clean man we have here is Joe Hawley, and he, like the rest of us, is disgusted, He came up here yesterday, and to- day sneaked around to the polls and voted, and then took a back stPeet to the anos and got aboard the first tram and went back to Washington, There is Joe Selden, up in Norwich, who has done more to defeat us than anybody else. He is chair- man of the State Committee, and in his zeal to pave the way for Senator Buckingham’s re-elec- tion he has Killed the whole party. Buckingham's day has ne by, and the People of Connecticut can’t swallow him any way. is action on the Boston Stmmons coillectorship question killed him politically, and as he is about eighty years old, his physical career, too, must soon end.”” In this excited mauner the exasperated republl- can went on for halt an hour,’ finally winding up with the serious and solemn conclusion that “the republican party is rapidly dissolving.”’ Such views, in fact, are very generally entertained among the party leaders wnom [ haye conversed with this evening, The intluence which THE BOSTON COLLECTORSHIP MATTER has had bs ag an adjoming State, is, indeed, sur- rising. It is constantly rejerred to in connec- tion with the talk over the resuit, and Ben Butler and Grant, of course, get their full share of criti- cism; and then, again, the inflation scheme, which threatened the country, has had an influence which the Connecticuf republicans and the ad- ministration may very properly deplore, Although the subject has not been much agitated, tne result of the election stows that the people are alarmed and restless at the pending issue. Add to all these general and more important party drawbacks the numerous personal jeal- oustes among the republicans in difterent sections of the State, and the defeat of the party is not so much to be wondered at alter all, ‘ihe unexpect- edly large temperance vote which was thrown 1 significant of the tidal wave of total abstinence which is sweeping over some sections o1 the coun- try. The praying bands have not been around, but there is evidentiya germ ofa temperance movement existing somewhere in Connecticut. The few cities and towns that remain to’be heard from will not materially change the result, as indicated atthe beginning of this despatch. New Haven is conspicuous amon; the cities which made a large republican gain, but the democrats assert that Gallagherism and treach- ery account for that. The democratic majority here in Hartford is 1,070, which is a very decided democratic gain over last year. In fact nearly all the large cities and towns show democratic gains. Even Glastonbury, the former bome of Abby Smmith’s cows, went democratic by nearly a hun- dred majority. Accepting the fact that everything is democratic, THE UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP is the next thing in order. Even to-night the can- didates and their prot cts are being discussed. Governor Ingersoll, it is said, has his weather eye on the place, and besides him there will be such aspirants as Congressmen Barnum and Nathaniel Wheeler, of Bridgeport, and, of course, the trre- pressible Bill Eaton, of Harttord. DEMOCRATIC JUBILATION. As may be surmised, the democrats are very jubilant ‘and the republicans correspondingly de- jected. The offices of the newspapers represent. ing the trtumphant party are sieged with en- thusiastic crowds, who are cheering themselves hoarse as each new victory ts proclaimed, At tne offices of the republican journals only a few sullen politicians lingered jor a lew moments erly in the evening, and then sadly wended tnetr way home vo ponder over the uncertainty of political events, The Victory Viewed from New Haven. New HAVEN, April 6, 1874. The elections in this city passed off quietly, not- withstanding the local excitement of the past two weeks, made by Mr. James Gallagher, a leading democrat, who came out against the reguiar dem- ocratic nominations and supported the Grant-But- ler administration, running himself for the lower House of the Legislature. The democratic Majority in this city is not as large as last year, owing to the fact that both the republicada and democratic candidates for Governor are residents of this city. In the Third and Fifth wards Gallagher succeeded m carrying the foreign vote with him over to the republican candidate. Notwithstanding this the demo have gained largely in the country towns, and Governor Ingersoll is re-elected by at least 1,000 majority, The democrats have carried both branches of the Legislature by double the majority of last year, thus securing a democratic United States Senator for six years to succeed Gov- ernor Buckingham. ‘The Senate stands seventeen districts democratic and jour republican. In the House of representatives the democra‘s will have a majority of avout forty-five, giving them a fine working majority. From all parts of the State come those charges about the gross corruption of the administration. Already the subject of selecting a United States Senator is discussed, and during the interval be- fore the assembling of the Legisiature the merits of the several prominent candidates will be con- sidered and canvassed. ‘Those who stand out most rominent now are Hon, William W. Eaton, of ‘artiord, a life long democrat of ability and expe- rience; Hon. William H. Barnum, the present member of Congress from the Third Congressional district, and Hon. Nathaniel Wheeler, of Bridgeport, and Governor English, of this city. | The real con- test will come probably between Messrs. Eaton and Barnum, with a strong look for the latter gentleman, and should the Legisiature not agree upon either undoubtedly Governor Bnglish would be selected a@ compromise candidate. such is the present outlook To-night the city is all excitement, not less than 6,000 persons being assembled in front of the Register office to hear the returns announced. In the private office of the iter were Governor Ingersol), ex-Governor English and prominent democrats of this section of the State, The result 48 particularly gratifying to Governor Ingersoll and his friends, On account’ of the determined oppo- sition made by Mr. Gallagher and his irfends.

Wasuineron, April 6, 1874. The Dofeat of Honor and Credit in the Senate Yesterday—Deuth Knell of the Republican Party—Sorrowing Funeral Orations—Sevession from the Deceased Body—Anatysis of the Votes. In the Senate, on more accounts than one. this will be numbered among the eventful days of the’ session. After Along siege of !orensic argument and exhaustive analysis the finuacial question, so far as it ts at present shaped in that body, reached a final settlement in the adoption of tue Merri- mon amenément, which provides that the limit of the greenback currency circulation shall be $400,000,000, and that of the national banks also $40,000,000. After a most protracted struggle of More thay four months, with the contending forces closcly matched in numbers and ability, it rests for the present with a certain amount of triumph on the winning side, and on the other @ large share of deep and almost sullen opposition, which is as unreconviled to the result as the speeches it elicited were powerful and masterly, ‘The history of the contest will mark one of those rounded eras of legislative mterest in which the research, ability and assiduity shown will furnish a place of pil- grimage for many a student hereatter who will delve into the mysteries of finance as they were laid open by legisiation and decided accordingly for the country’s needs or demands. The course of business during the day was marked throughout with unusual earnestness on the part of Senator Sherman and those who have heretofore signified their agreement with him on the subject of the finances. ‘fhe usual supply of amendments was | provided, and each of them was inevitably lost, | Tne usual determined and undivided advocacy of | those in favor of an increase im the cireuia- tion voted, as Senator Sherman characterized his financial views on inflation, “dead against” those amendments. On the opposing side there ‘Was the same unflinching and posttive purpose evi- denced to carry the Merrimon amendment, which was now moved as a substitute for the whole bill. How much was accomplished by the persistent | efforts of the minority to fight off the final result will only be seen in the ingentous arguments and devices employed to postpone; but when it came to the voting it was apparent that al) this was of noavail. Soone after another the amendments offered by the minority were set aside, from that of Senator Conkling to that of Senator Sherman, which was almost the same as that of the original bill of the Finance Committee. The first was lost by a vote of 24 to 27 and the latter by cne of 23 to 28, and so the Senate struggled along in the solution, and it must be satd that the minority, in their mveterate distaste to the Measure “offered, iaithfuily did their duty and struggled as men never struggled before in the Sonate, until finally Senator Merrimon’s amend- ment was moved for adoption in Committee of the Whole, and was passed promptly by a vote of 29 yeas to 24 nays, It then was taken up for third reading and placed on its passage in the Senate according to the rules. Here the heaviest thunder of the fight was heard, in @ speech made by Senator Conkling, which was one of deploration, warning and sorrowing. He made an eloquent appeal against the step about to be taken, and he was ably seconded by Senators Thurman, Bayard, Stockton and Stewart, wio united with all the force they could muster in solemn protest against the adoption of the ‘Merri- mon substitute. Senator Thurman made a party reference, in which he regretted that the demo- crats had some representatives among those who were helping to carry the bili, and then referred to the repubitcans on his side who were endeavor- ing to resist it, and bitterly charged, in conclusion, that, ignoring their President and the declarations of their party, if they could not manage the affairs of the country with more ability than was suown on this financial question, they had better resign their ascendancy. These speeches were iull of de nunciation, fierce invective and covert accusations,. and finally the speaker challenged the republican fidelity of tne Senators who, with Senator Morton, belonging to the republican ranks, “were smoothing the way,” as Senator Conk- ling stated it, “to degradation, disaster and disgrace.” There was poor compensation in hearing this kind of terrible arraignment and accusation, so flercely made by Senator Conkling; but when Senator Thurman rose he added to the scorching and unmerciful upbraidings by twitting the republivans with taking the measure of a democrat for their guidance and control. This was too much for Senator Morton, and, rising to his feet—which he rarely does—as he 1s obliged, on account of a. spinal atfectton, to speak sitting in his chair, with firm, set features, overspread with the pallor of restrained displeasure, he leaned on the crane-like rest in front of bim, and, with affected calmness, but: deepest earnestness, said, “These are the most astonisuing speeches" I have ever listened to. This is nor the time to answer them; but they will be answered.”” Then a motion to adjourn was made, which was tried again, but each time de- feated by one majority. The whip having gone round and every Parliamentary as well as rhetori- cal artifice having been resorted to in vain, Sena- tor Sargent rose to wash his hands of the whole business, and as he closed, tn asad tone at the prospect of the measure being carried, gave out that he was not yet without hope from another de- partment of the government—meaning the Execu- tive. At this Senator Logan broke out into a loud sounding, broad laugh of derision, and thereupon Senator Sargent made the astonishing announce- ment that there was a division in the republican party, and if it was going to take this direction he would release himself from all allegiance to it. Senator Schurz took a kind of grim delight in the scene and announced tuat he had no sorrow for the occasion, though he pronounced the speecbes he was listening to juneral orations. At this point he was keenly watched by Senator Conkling. The vote could not much longer be delayed, the motions to adjourn having been decisively lost. The minority grew submissive and the last vote was taken, which re- sulted In being carried by the inflationists. The Senate stood as follows:—Paired, Gordon, Mitch- ell, Brownlow, Sprague, Conover, Ransom and Wright, who would have voted tn the affirmative; and Bayard, Boutwell, Flanagan, Morrill of Maine, Stevenson, Stockton and Edmunds, who would have voted in the negative, Absent—Alcorn, Buck- ingham, Ferry of Connecticut, Gilbert and Dennis.

THE STATE CAPITAL. —_—+—__—_ ALwany, April 6, 1874, ‘This evening Mr. Eastman offered a resolution in the Assembly to have his Rapid Transit bill eon- sidered in the first Committee of the Whole on Wednesday. A large number of petitions was presented in favor of the bill by the New York delegation. Mr. Leake, of New York, happened to offer one which was evidently gotten up by some enemy Of the vill, as the signatures were all of an obscene character, and, presuming that the rest of the petitions were like his own, he pronounced them all a iraud; but they were not, and the only one to whicn epithet could be applied was his own. It was a very weak invention, as everybody concluded. A vote was taken on Mr. Kastman’s motion and it was defeated by 36 to $4. The following mempers of tne New York delegation voted in its favor:— Blumenthal, Bighn, Cauldwell, Daly, McAlee, 0'Cal- laghan, Patten, Sherman and Spencer. Messrs. Waetiner and Hayes voted against it und the foliow- ing Were absent :—Blessing, Coughlin, Healey, Mur- ray, Sullivan, Wagstaff and P. Woods, Present, but not voting :—Kirk, Leake and Deane. Those who were present of the Ratlroad Committee voted against the motion. The bill must now await {ts turn on general orders unless another attempt is successiul in taking it out of that course ot busi- ness. THE VANDERBILT AND THIRD AVENUE INFLUENCE contributed to this result, They had _fore- knowledge of the intention to offer the resolution this evening, and arrangements were made to de- featit. Their lobby agents were on hand and had the vote likely to be cast accurately calculated, When tnese monopolies resort to such tactics it appears clear that they have no intention to butid the roads tor whicn tuey seek charters, A bill has been in the Committee on Commerce and Navigation for some time past to restore the presidents of the German and Irish societies to full power in the . ~ BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATION. As itis now they are ex oficio members, witnout & vote in thé Board. Mr. Waebner offered a resolu- tion to-night calling upon the committee to report the bill, a8 they had sat upon it long enough for a of incubation. But his motton was de- jeated.
