4 OVERUAULING C\TY DEPARTMENTS, State Senators Cross-Examining Commissioner Brennan and Warden Fox. HOW THE PENITENTIARY IS MANAGED, ‘The committee of three members of the State Senate appointed by that body in May last to investigate and report upon the condition and general management of the municipal departments of this city, and which con- sists of Senators J, W. Booth, F. W. Tobey and George B. Bradley, met again at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes- | terday. According to the resolution under which the committee have been appointed, they will wifiKe a thor- bugh investigation into the administration of every city department—examining for that purpose all such officials amd papers as they may deem necessary—and make a full report to the Senate at Its next session, with suggestions of such changes as in their judgment will either tend to diminish the cost or increase the efficiency of any of the public bodies. At will also inquire into the methods of administering justice in the various courts and decide whether they can be effectively maintained at less expense to the public, It is generally supposed that the Comptroller's department will receive special attention at their hands. To-day they will be supplied by the Finance Department with a complete list of the persons tn the employ of the city with the salary paid to cach one, COMMISSIONERS OF CHARITIRS AND CORRECTION, ‘The first witness sworn yesterday was Thomas 3 Brennan, Commissioner of Charities and Correction, He explained that the hospital in City Hall Park had been abandoned in consequence of the building having been pronounced unsafe by the In- spector of Buildings. The first floor, however, was still occupied by an ambulance corps, on account of its convenient location, but no injured person brought in by the ambulance was allowed to remain there over night. They were all taken to Bellevue, which was crowded in consequence. ‘His de- partment was anxious, he said, to secure the vacant | building in Beekman street, formerly used as a police station, to take the place of the Park Hospital, The institutions in charge of his department use about 16,000 tons of coal every winter, and from 3,000 to 4,000 tons are distributed to the poor on tickets. Under the existing laws, the Commissioners are not ailewed to purchase any supplies except such as will be used during* the calendar year ending on January 1. Consequently, fnstead of buying all the coal necessary for @ winter's use while it is cheap in the summer, they can buy but 11,000 tons, which ts exhausted by the end of December, when they are obliged to go through the whole formula of advertising, &ec., again in order to obtain the necessary 6,000 tons mote, and for which they have to pay at the rate of fifty to seventy-five cents per ton more than the sum- mer purchase, though it would be better if the Com- miasioners were allowed TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH TRADESPEOPLE for all comparatively small amounts of supplies that are required, instead of advertising fr bids and making the seller give security. The enwre appropriation of the Department last year was $1,180,000, of which a balance of $103,000 had remained unexpended on Janu- aryl The estimates for the current year amounted to $1,400,000, an increase due to alterations and im- provemenis in their buildings. The cost of keepin, prisoners in the Penitentiary is thirty-eight cents eac! per day. The estimate ior next year for the Lunatic Asylum, with the improved diet and warmer clothing Tecommended by the State Roard of Physicians on Lun- acy will reach thirty cents at least. It is now twenty- six cents in that institution. THE SUBJECT OF VAGRANTS, A large number of people are committed to the care of the Board as vagrants being “sent up’ for a period of from one to six months. That class they propose to send to Hart’s Isiand and find work for them there. Mr. Davenport—It has been reported that persons committed fur yngrancy by magistrates had turned up ‘again in Court before their time had expired. ‘Mr. Brennan—That is something new to me, sir. The Commissioner further stated that there was no work provided for prisoners except to keep the grounds in order. They now proposed, however, to manufuc- ture their own clothing and boots. Ho Supposed that they could manufacture goods for the market if the law should provide for that; but he could tormmo idea of what the prisoners’ serv! tractor. He further testified tha: there had never been a day since his appomiment when he had not visited the Island, He, with ovher Commissioners, had visited at ll P. M. and 2A. M., in order fo see that things went on properly between dark and dawn. On these occa sions everything was found as‘it should be. THK PENITEXTIARY WARDEN ON THE STAND. John M. Fox, warden of the Penitentiary, was the Bext witness sworn. He tied that he bad held his resent position since Jan’ last, previous to which ime he had held no office under the rd. He stated ‘that he had fifty keepers under him, all told. They aro divided into three claeses—coxswains, who guard the | isiand in boats, receiving $600 per year and their board; guards, who are stationed around on the wharves, an receive $730 and board, and keepers, who have direct -charge of the prisoners, and who receive $900 and board Mr. Fox receives $1,650 and a house. He also has the privilege of usi: ners as servants in and about his house. One-half of the entire number of keepers remain on the isiand on alternate nights, but afer 7 o’clock in the evening the entire building is left under control of three night keepers—Martin Bergen, Charles Robb and Jobn Foy—who remain untii > in the morning. KERPERS AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION. -Witness had no direct means of knowing whether these men remained in the building or not; the number of keepers in the daytime would probubly average one tw every twenty-(ive prisoners. There have been nine escapes since ihe Ist of January, tour of whom got away from the boat while being conveyed to the island, and five eluded the vigilance of the keepers; during this period there have been an average of over 900 Prisoners in custody. Mr. Fox recommended that guards should patrol the island at night, both for se. curity against the escape of prisoners and to guard ainst_ the thieves, who frequently go up {rom few York, and breaking into the workshops, carry of the tools, As it is at present, not a soul is on the watch but the three keepers spoken of before. The island is in tele- graphic communication with the Central Police station and also has bel! communication with the station house in Fifty-seventh street. There are now about 1,100 prisoners in the Penitentiary, most of them under sen- tence for six Months, but a few of them are serving out terms as high as fifteen years. THY PAIR SKX IN PRISON, Of the entire number 155 are women, a larger num- ber than were ever before upon the island, even during the hard times of last winter, when the number reached 125, The majority of these have been con- victed of shop-lifting and petit larceny. They are kept busy making clothing for Bellevue, Randall's Island, aud | all the institutions around the city. NOT WILLING TO RETRENCH. Witness could suggest no plan by which expenses could be reduced without impairing the efficiency of the institution. He would recommend that two additional guard boats and six night patrols be added to the force, which wouid then be thoroughly efficient He thought the location of the island very unfavorable for prison purposes on account of its proximity to New York on the one side and to Long Island on the otner. The latter shore was lined with lager beer gardens, and the convicts were constantly tempted to escape by hear ing the music and dancing which was coutinualiy in progress in them. Besides, boats were always hovering around with the friends of prisoners watching an op- portunity to help them to escape. He veniured to say that if the Penitentiary were not removed to Randall's Island, or even further up the river, it would soon be Necessary to erect a high wall around Blackwell’s | Island. At the close of Mr. Fox’s examination, as no other witnesses were in attendance, the Committee adjourned till ten o'clock to-day. It is expected that the exami- Ration will be continued from day to day, an arfange- ment having beem made between the Senators that Mr. Booth will, in the absence of one or both of tne other gentlemen, continue the proceedings as a sub-com- taittee, ANOTHER CUBAN EXPEDITION. The Spani# organ issued in this city contains, under date of 1 i inst, the following news, for which the Cudans s < congratulate themselves and render thanks :— “ The brig fumles, bearing the Chilian flag, from the South Pacific, arrived in this port (Panama) and landed on the dock belonging to the railroad company in this city a cargo of arms and ammunition, which, according to all appearances, consisted of 1,112 cases of arms and eight pieces of artillery, which were forwarded to A id Feshipped there on an American sailing eveusel called the Nile, joated previously with dry cocoa whieh had been @ few days at Coion awaiting this contraband of » After taking non board she set Bail, bound to the coast of Cuva, anc it is ascertamed that said cgntraband of war was “towed away in the lower hold Wnd the loose*cocoa nuts epread over it, in order to u.ake itappear that she only curried this frait.’’ The above very significant fact was sent to said Spanish organ by one of ite private correspoudents at Panama as early a8 the 80th of June last, aac it is to be resumed that the cargo bas reached its destination safely and is in the hands of the patriots ore this, since | ‘Bo report of its capture by the Spaniards bas appeared, It is stated that said oaree is the contingent offered Dy the Chilian government to the Cuban patriow, and ‘8 similar one from Pera was to follow.

TROTTING SECOND DAY OF THE FIRST FALL MEETING—TWO CONTESTS—DICK CBOKER AND LITTLE DOBRITT ‘THE WINNERS. The attendance at Fieetwood Park yesterday af- ternoon was rather slim, considering the bill of fare offered to the many admirers of the trotting horse that generally patronize good sport when offered. Two contests came off, the first between eight horses that had never beaten 2:44, and the second for horses that had never trotted better than 2:31, in which four came to the post, The first race was won by John Murphy’s black gelding Dick Croker, Rocky Hill winning the second premium, and Saul the third. The second trot was won by Little Dorrit, Max- | well getting second money and Lookout third. Both | races were won in three straight heats, The track was in good order and the weather charming.

The fall meeting of the American Jockey Club com- mences on Saturday next, and Jerome Park is already quite busy with the preparations for the opening day. There is every prospect of a successful meeting, as about 120 horses have arrived, and the stables of San- | ford, Puryear, Cottrill and Taylor have yet to come. | The managing committee have been at work since Mon- day getting the track into condition, and yea- terday brooms and dusters were flying around the grand stand preparing the seats for the thousands that will occupy them on Saturday next Some mechanics were employed during the thing in working order, and a gang of laborers have been at work all day repairing the main road leading | up to the grand stand. The horses were noorly all out yesterday afternoon at walking exorcise, and, with | | some few exceptions, are free from the colds so preva- | | Jent with their kind. Some few days ago the trainers | were a little frightened at the condition of their stock; bat the disease has’ merely developed into a cold, and | has no symptoms similar to tho much dreaded epizootic, | It lasts from three to four days, and during that period the horses suffering are only given light work. | THE UORSES IN TRAINING.

Bostox, Mass., Sept, 29, 1875, The stallion race between Smuggler and Jefferson, which wae to have come off this afternoon at Beacon Park, bas been postponed on account of a storm, A BROKERS’ ROWING MATCH. A match was lately arranged between two members of the New York Rowing Club, Mr. A. I. Davis and Mr, A. G. Torrance, the contest to take place yesterday on Harlem River, in single shells Neither of the con- testants bad ever rowed in @ shell previous to Monday ast. Hence » was imagimed that the race would prove Judicrous in the extreme, Accordingly about 150 mem- bers of the Stock Exchange chartered a tugboat yester- day afternoon and went ap io seo tho aport. e two tiny s#eclls were soon nearly opposite the tug boat of the refores, and the word was given to start, Torrance, who is a grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt, shot off rapidly. But oh! such a stroke|— it alarmed his nearest relatives and dearest friends. It seemed every moment as if his body would be sub- merged in river and the bottom of his boat be alone visible to the spectators. Every small bark 1a; along shore, and even the schooners kept a respectful distance, for neither himself nor any of his friends bad any idea where he would come to a standstill, But was worse vel; when the ward “wo” waa given, he did mat i=} under way until Torrance had wobbled three or Bur lengths ahead of him. The course was a mile, straight away. Davis, unused to the water, had only proceeded a little distance when he was attacked by vertigo, and, though he kept up sently, the rigeag stroke that ‘Torrance was pulling soon left his antagonist far behind. Torrance won the race easily, beating Davis nearly a quarter ofa mile, Considerable money , changed hands at the end of the race, FALL YACHTING. nam THE KANE REGATTA OF THE NEW YORE YACHT CLUB—ENTRIES, MEASUREMENTS AND ALLOW~ ANCES, ts Thore is every indication that the Kane regatta of the New York Yacht Club to-day will be full of sport and closely contested. The fourteen entered boats are al- most sure to start, and, being in excellent trim, will make a good show, whatever the character of the weather, It is seldom in the last days of September that a fleet of this number can be found whose owners have not already wound up their racing year, so the interest of the occasion cannot fail being of an earnest and unusual nature, All that is wanted to insure com- plete succeas is plenty of wind and fair skies. With these New York Bay will show to great advantage to- day, as, beside the racing yachts, there will no doubt be many accompanying craft laden with lookers-on, ‘The Regatta Committee, with commendable prompt- ness, had completed yesterday afternoon the table of time allowances of the competing vessels, save in one instance.

THE NATIONAL GAME. re THE GREAT AMATEUR CONTEST BETWEEN NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN—A DISASTROUS DEFEAT FOR BROOKLYN. The much talked of match between picked tens from this city and Brooklyn took place yesterday, on the | Union Grounds, in the presence of at least 2,500 specta- tors. The fielding skill on either side was not up to the standard of first class amateurs, but the good batting of the New Yorkers won thom the game. At the end of the third inning the score stood one to one for both tens, but in the fourth innning the New York boys succeeded in tallying five runs of four base hits, the flelding of the Brooklynites in thisinning being very poor. It was then decided advisable to change thé pitcher and catcher of the Brooklyn side (Malone and Crosby), and Curtin and Grierson subse- quently occupied those positions very acceptably, That inning virtually decided the game, aa the Brooklyn ten did not add another run to bar | score, A prize of $20 was given to each of the fol proprietor of the grounds:—Powers, for best fiel and Shandiley, for best batting, on the New York sid and Grierson, for best fielding, and Malone, for best batting, on the Brookiyn side.

THE COURTS. Motion to Vacate an Order = of Arrest, A QUESTION OP RESCINDING A CONTRACT. Acase involving the questions of rescinding a coli tract and vacating an order of arrest came up fora hearing yesterday before Judge Loew, holding Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas. Some time since Julius Larnio, as set forth in the papers, sold a factory and fixtures, on South Filth avenue, to William M. Levine for $2,000, and received in payment $260 in cash and promissory notes for the balance. It was afterward charged that Levine, to avoid payment of the notes, made a fictitious sale of the property to a second party, who sold it to a third party, and after this Mr. vine told the original owner that he must look to the indorsers of the notes for payment. Upon this Levine was arrested, and @ motion was made yesterday to vacate this order oo the ground that the Plaintiff's afidavits disclosed no cause of action, that the notes not yet matured would be paid on maturity, and that there being no fraud in the contract de- fendant had a pertect right to resell the property. Plaintiff's counsel insisted that under the transfers of the Pada the notes were rendered worthless and rendered the party liable to an action for damages or to have the contract rescinded. Judge Loew took the papers, DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. By Judge Donohue. Baker vs. Kahn.—Reference ordered. Matter of Ladock M. Birdsall; Matter of Angela Betancourt, —Orders granted.

Meantime their three infant children aro with the mother, and the father yesterday applied to Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, to have the children surrendered to his custody. Judge Dono- hue decided that the presumption of law was that the father was the ‘pele: custodian of the children, and that it devolved on the mother to prove the contrary, He directed evidence to be taken on this point, ‘The property of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was assessed by the Commissioners of Taxes at $2,000,000, Tho Commissioners were petitioned to reduce the valu- ation to $1,330,000, claiming that this was the correct value, The Commissioners estimated on the 15th of June, and fixed the value at $5,149,518.
