10 THE STATE CAPITAL. 4 BEVOLUTION IN THE OFFICES OF THE CORONERS AND COMMISSIONERS OF JURORS— MOBRISSEY AND THE REFORMS OF SENATORS WOODIN. Avpaxy, Feb, 15, 1877, ‘Now that Morrissey’s resolution calling on the Com- mittecs on Vities in both houses to frame a bill for the Detter aud cheaper government of New York city has Deen promptly and unanimously adopted by the Senate und Assemply it only remains for Senator Woodin and Mr. Hamilton Fish, Jr., to agree upon a day for the joint meeting of their respective committees, The resolution strikes the keynote of the situation. No man could have offered it und provoked less jealousy among the professional politicians than Morrissey, be- cause there is notbing professional about him, and if he be a pohtician at all he 15 certainly one sui generis. He has disarmed republican prejudice by expressing bis ire readiness 10 support any just measure of re- trenchment, whether it hurts bis own party or not, LOOK OUT FOR THE ONSTRUCTIONISTS, It is just as well the people ot Now York kept their eyes on this Legislature for a few weeks longer, to see what tho fruits of this resolution will prove to be, Honest and disinterested people freely admit that it is the best step that bus yet been made toward the object in view. Vigorous efforts will be made to de- feat the realization of the idea embraced in the reso- lution, and it will be a useful bit of informution to know who the people my be that engage in that under- ‘taking. ‘THR APPROPRIATION BILL REPORTED, Mr, Husted, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the Annual Appropriation bill, which ‘was mude a special order for Tuesday nexi. SUPERINTENDENT OF STATE PRISONS. ‘The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Dill appointing and fixing the sul- ary of a superintendent of State prisons, which was reported from the committee with an omendment by Mr. Alvord — prohibiting the person appointed trom holding any other State or local oltice. ‘Ibis was attucked in a vigorous speech by Mr. Husted, whose position was generally supported, ‘and the ainendment, which appeared to be meant for the exclusion of Mr, Louis D, Pilsbury, who is sup- posed on ull nands to be the Governor's selection, wus defeated and the bill passed. REGULATING FIRE INSURANCE, Senator Starbuck introduced a bill, tho principal provision of which is.that, after the lst of May, 1877, “on any policy hereafter issued insuring any buildings or real property situated in this State against loss or damage by fire, the sum tor which a recovery may be had shall not exceed three-fourth parts of toe uscer. tained and adjudged value ot the property destroyed or damage sustained.’ ‘THR COKONERS’ RSYORM. Two of Woodin’s bills passed the Senate to-day, One, in relation to the Corouers of New York city and county, provides that there shall te only three Cor- onorsufter December 31, 1880, and each shall receive a salary of $5,000 and no fecs. A jury to assist the Cor- oner in hig investigation shall not hereafter be sum- moned unless tle physician appointed to assist the Coroner shall ‘certify that he deems it necessary. ‘The Mayor shall appoint the threes physicians and ‘remove tor cause. Their salary shail be $2,500 cach alter December 31, 1877. The present Coroners shall cach receive, during the remainder of his term of office, the fees nuw provided Dy law, not exceeding one-fourth of all the cases oc- curring in the city and county. The other bill m relation to Commissioner of Jurors provider that the term of the present incumbent expires ten days atter the passage of this act, and his successor shall be appointed by the Mayor, to hold office until January 1, 1879, after which the term sball be four years, and’ the appointment by the Mayor. The salary 1s fixed at $4,000, and the ag- gregate of salaries for three clurks und one messenger Shall not in apy one year exceed $6,000. THY RKGISTER'S OFFICE Mr, Woodin’s bill relative to the Register of New York was discussed in Committee of the Whole and finally progressed. Early in the day Delano C, Calvin was on the floor in conversation with Senators werard and Morrissey. The bill fixes the salary of the Register $6,000. Mr. Morrissey thought the amount altogether too small, und asked Mr. Woodin to consent to putting it at $10,000. Mr. Gerard moved that it be made $8,000, and after pele og good-natured debate Mr. Gerard’s motion pre- vail ECONOMY IN BROOKLYN, Agang of Brooklyn politicians have been hero all day. They went belore the Committee on Cities, aud urged the propriety of substituting another bill .for Bradley’s, which reduces the salaries of Brooklyn officials by an act of the Legislature and restore to the Board of Aldermen the power tb ssed betore the passage of the charter in 1873 to regulate these salaries themselves. The suggestion is yet to be actea upon, The committee, however, decided to report Beedle’ other bill reducing the commissions to one ea A CAUCUS OF REPUBLICANS. There was acaucus of republican Senators, at the house of Senator Harris, this ovening, which did not break up until nearly midnight. 1t leaked out, how- ever, that there was a very hot time between Harris and’ the Sage of Auburn, and that person- alities were freely indulged in. The object of the caucus was to agree upon a plan of action in Teference to the nomination of Mr. Smyth as Super- mtendent of Insurance. Rumor has it that four republicans have kicked in the party traces, and have formed a_ combination with the democrats, so that there will be a doud- lock, leaving the deciding vote to be cast by Lieuten- ant Governor Dorsheimer, Nothing definite was de- cided upon in the caucus. THE ADJOURNMENT. There will not be an adjournment this week until Saturday, and then it will be for a week from Monday, THE WHALE THAT CAUGHT COLD, AUTOPSY ON THE DECEASED BIG FISH—LOOKING AT HIS LUNGS—DR, + WEISSE’S REPORT—A WARNING TO YOUNG WHALES. Oue of the most important, novel and interesting dissections ever made in the interest of science and of animal surgery was commenced on Wednesday last and concluded yesterday at the American Veterinary Coilege Hospital, No, 141 West Fifty-fourth street. The subject of tue operation was the white whale, which for a time formed so conspicuous a feature of the finny attractions of the New York Aquarium, and which died on January 28 last. Within a few hours after its death the whale had been embalmed by the injection of chloride of zinc, At the request of Dr. Fanueil D. Weiase, who desired to dissect the carcass for purposes of study, the body of the delunct monster was transferred to Lim and at his direction removed to the dissecting room of tho Veterinary Col- Tego, where, on Tuesday, it received an in- jection of seventeen quarts of liquid plaster of Paris to jully insure its preservation. The dissection was performed by James MacShane, professional em- balmer and dissector for the Medical Department of the University of New York City, under the direction of Dr. Weisse, Professor of Practical Anatomy aod Sur- gery at the University, assisted by Dr. Lintard, Su- perintendent ot the Veterinary College, and Professor J.

OBITUARY. GENBRAL CHANGARNIER. The cable brings the intelligence that Nicholas-feme Théodule Cbangaraier, the senior General in the Freneb army, died in Paris on the eveuing of the lth, ‘His age was nearly eighty-four years. Born at Autun (Saone et Loire), in the ancient province of Burgundy, on the 2¢th of April of the ever memori- able year of 1793, the young Changaraier, alter having studied at Macon and Paris, where he obtained his diploma as bachelier des lettres, became a pupil at the military school! of Samt Cyr (the West Point of France), whence be joined the | regular army, with the rank of sub-lieutenant, soon after the final down/all of Napoleon I., 12 1815. In the above capacity he was admitted into ove of the privileged companies of Louis XVIII.’s gardes-du-corps, where simple guards had the rank of officers, Ywo years later he was promoted to w licutenaucy tn the Sixtieth infantry, made up with the imperialist departmental legion of the Yonne, and took an activo part in tho Bourbonist expedition of Spain, in 1823, whieb culms nated in the assault of the Trocaden by the French army, commanded by the Duke d’Augoulme, over the so-callet revels against the despised rule of Fernando-y-Siete, the father of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain, When the revolution of 1830 broke out Changarnier was acaptain in the Garde-Royale; but his regimont being stationed at the camp of Ram- douilles he was prevented trom giving way to his inborn aversion for popular risings. The Garde-Royale hav- ng been dissolved by Louis Philippe, Changarnier was transferred with his grade to the Second regiment of light infantry (Deuziéme Léger, now the Seventy- | seventh of the line) und sent to Algeria, where he began to distinguish bimsel! by # series of vigorous and intelligent actious against the then powertul Arabs, | Alter the expedition of Mascara and the capture | of that stronghold he was made commander of the First’ battalion of bis regiment, and jomed | Marshal Ciauzel, who, with a force of 30,000 meu, was enguged against Achinot Bey, under the walls of Cou- stuntine, There Commander Changaroier acnieved the most remarkable deed of ius wholo military lite and really won bis ttle to fame, Marshal Clauzel’s expedition having resulted in a complete disaster, Changarnier, with'his battalion, numbering about $00 men, Was entrusted with ‘the rather hopeless task of protecting the retreat of the deleated and demoralized army from Constantine to Bone (160 miles), aud exhibited so much skill und sangfroid in the tullliment of his difficult mission thut, after having inflicted a loss of 4,000 killed on the turious hordes of Arabs which assuiled the retreating giaours (Christians), he succeeded 10 reaching the sea shore without having allowed a single cartridge bug or even one wounded soldier to fall into the hands of the numberless Mussulman cavalry (November, 1838). His heroic bebavior was highly praised in the Order of the Day, in the whole Frenca army, and he was promoted to the rank of heu- tenant colonel, besides being adorned with the red ribbon and the cross of the Legion of Honor. ‘Three years later the presumptive heir to the French throne, the Duke d’Orieans, having for the sake of vain glory committed the folly of tear. ing up the treaty of Lu Taina, concluded by Marshal Bugeaud with Abd-oi-Kader, and which secured to France all that she could reasonably expect in Alrica, Changarnier assisted the young Prince in forcing nis way through the Portes-de-Fer, a narrow passage sur- ruunded with inaccessible rocks and defended by the flower ol the Arabian patriots, rendered mad by the disgraceful treachery of tho French, However night the cause of the Algerians undoubtedly was the dreaded Portes-de-Fer were forced, alter one of the warmest and bloodiest actions on record iu the annals of the Algerian conquest, and Changarnier haying taken a prominent part in the allur was romoted 10 Colonel of the afterward famous Deuz- deme Leger, with which he deleated on many occasions the Hudjoutes and Kabyles, After the expedition and capture of Medeah under Cavignac, the desperate assault of Mouzaia and the brilliant affur at the Oued Chéhf River (1340) Changarnier was appointed to the grade of Brigadier General — (Maréchal- de-Camp.) Daring the three toliowing years Changarnier continued his — succeasiul career; he received a severe wound fat the second sicge ‘of Medeab, but, having fully recovered, ho routed the cavalry of the Kabyles and reduced the tribes ot Tenez which hold the licid tor Aba-el-Kader. He was then rewarded with the double star epaulets of a division general (August 3, 1843). In the course of 1847 be re- ceived from the then Gouverneur Général of Algeria, Duke @’Aumule, the important command of the province of Algiers. With the revolution of 1848 the political career of General Changarnier be) General Cavaignac hav- ing been appointed to the Governorsbip of the French- Alrican colony by the provisional ernment, the ‘glorious retreater from Constantii (as ho’ was popularly surnamed) returned to France, whence in aletter be solicited trom the republican gover! “favor of devoting his sword to France. Bot his strong Orleanist teclings being justly sus- pected, in spite of bis alleged devoreduese to the new form of government issued trom February, Lamar- tine, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, thought it pra- dent to send away Changaruier and offered to him the French Embassy at Berlin. This tbe gencral declined to accept, and when, a few weeks later, the ‘‘mobbist manifestation of the 16th day of April’ threatened the existence of the government itself, Cuangaruior spontaneously assumed the command of the few troops in barracks in the capital and, through his ener- etic attitude, secured the maintenance of order, In the following month of May he was appointed Gov- ernor ef Algeria in the room of Cavaignac, just elected to a seat in the Constituent Assembly; bot at the par- tial elections of June 4 he was himseli elected Deputy, d pastily returped to Paris, His sword, however, remained 1u its scabbard daring the terrible insurrec- tion of June, partly incned by secret Bonapartist agencies with the cunning purpose of discrediting the Kepublic among the bourgeoisie and the peasantry; but when Cavaigouc, master of Paris, had become, through a vote of the Assembly, Chief of the Exec- utive Power, he gave to his ex-lieutenant im Algeria the supreme command of the Paris- jan National Gourd, which Changarnier retained even alter the Presidential election had returned Lows Napoleon, who twice—on the 9th of January and Min ot June, 1849—enlarged Changarnier’s command by the whole regular troops composing the Army of Par From that me Changarnier held a proi.inent place im the political events and complications of those troubled umes, His energetic measures und the couti- deuce which he inspiredin the soldiery prevented the explosion of civil war in Paris on the 29tn of January, 1849. When, on the 13th of June the same year, Ledra Rollin, , Guinard and — others —_ raised once more ' the standard of revolt against the Assembly and the President, whose reaction- ary policy at home as well us abroad, was a disgrace ‘to France and virtually destroyea the Republic, it was Changarnier who, by bis resolution, smothered this | formidable and really pupulur movement at its very dawn, so that most of the Parisians quite willing to aid | init, knew of its breaking out and its utter dofeut at the ‘same moment. Changarnier acted with such raptdity and soundnessof judgment that Ledru Rolin hud hardly time enough to fly through the Arts-ot- Motiers, the headquarters of the popular leaders, on | that memorable day. It was, then, not strange that | the Commuader-in-Chiet of the Waris Army and Nutional Guard was an irreconcilable en- emy to republican institntions, and the famous reactionary “Comité de la Rue de Poitiers,” of which Mr, Thiers w a leading member, not taking any longer the trouble of disguising their monarchical aspirations under the mash of a conservative repub- lic, openly proclaimed, through their organs in tho ress, that Goweral Changaruter was the providential inan intended to play the partof Monck in an Or- Jeanist restoration. Hut Louis Napoleon, woo, at that time enjoyed the full vigor of a Sluchiavetian politi- cian, who could nave defeated the plans of oven a Bis- marck, silently watcbed Changarnier and prepared tor the sure and irremediable collapse of bis rival. Tho constitution of 1848 having provided that the Presideat was the supreme commander of all the armed forces of | the Republic, Louie Napoleon ordered a grea review | of the whole army of Paris, at Satory for the 9th of January, 1851, the very gay’ on which the Duchess of Orieans wos to arrive tn Paris and bo prociaimed regont of the kingdom with (hesupport of Chan- ue bribery of the Freach Army, from the generals | down to the nen, had been going on adroitly for two years by Bonapartist agents, and when Louis Nupo- jeon, on horsevack, appeared on the plain of Satory the 100,000 men assemvied there, obeying a mot d'ordre, welcomed him with enthusiastic cries of “Vive Loui Napoléon! Vive UBmpereur !”’ which the President | acknowledged by repeatedly bowing bis head. Quite stunned at such an unexpected manifestation, Changar- ner, who was in command of tne whole fores, asked an immediate explanation from the President, who, with his usual pblegm, | answered him that “ne was unadie to contro: the feelings of that French army which bis uncle had so olten ied to victory.’? Meanwhile, handreds of wag- ons filled up with ‘bread, mew 8, cheese, bottles of champagne, claret and braady, circulated among the troops, Who had thus a trav lunch at the expeuse and, of course, to the health of “the nephew of the grout man,"’ SUI more disgusted as a patriot and a soldier, than routed as a political intriguer, ut the sight of Unis general rehearsal of the impending coup delat, Chane | garnier lett at once the ficla of Satory and immediately Elysée his resiguavon of eral-in~ willing,” said he to the ident purposely published, “to retain er the command of ribald Pretorians 1” t consequent upon such a tremendous scandal was intense, of course, and the republican Members of the Assembly, in close concert (lor that exceptional ime) With the itra-conservatives, moved that the President of the House should have the un- controlled command of a corps darmée — specially altected to the protection of the national represeniu- lives againgt ali attempts at violence, Had that mo- tion been passed, General Changaroicr was to have beon designated @ warned Deputies as the swor | bearer of the Assembly, but it was rejected notwith- | Standing the prophetic woras of M, Grévy and Ge | eral Bedeau, and, strange to say, {ts rejection was iy due 'to te optimist declaration of General Changarnier himself, that * to insugarate a new | Cwsarian erajnot a battalion, not a company, not even | four men anda corporal, could ever be found by the Bonaparui protend Representatives of we Peopie deliberate in peac Less than a year after, | in the cast belongs to the Firth Avenue Theatre accomplice of Louis Napoleon, seized the toe confident orator in bis bed, at three A.M., aud took him toa cell at Mazas, whence, alter a few weeks of close con- finement, the would-be Mouck was escorted to the Belgian frontier by two aa im couformity with the decree of were 9, 1852, just one year after the memorable Prmtarian orgie at Sutory, Having udiy declined to take advantage by the several amnesties decreed by the Emperor, General Cbangarvier during the whole reign of Napoleon IIL. made only a few short excur- sions in France, to transact some business concerning bis estates in Sudne-et-Loire, and voluntarily lived in exile at Malines, jum, ull the beginning of August, 1870, when the disastrous news of Reishoflen and For- bach awakening his old patriotism, he forgot at once his most bitter political prejudices, and went to Motz to solicit trom the declining Emperor the favor of serving bis country against the invading foe, This was heartily granted, and Chal jer, whose old ago (le was then very near aime Ig ga prevented him from assuming the command of a corps d’armée, was ordered to assist Marsbal Buzaine with such ad- valuable experience in the science of war 1, History in future times—that is to say when party spirit and madness shall no more obstruct the way to a calm and impartial account of the Franco- German war—will distribute the praise or the blame on the prominent actors in the unheard of capitulation of Metz, the terms of which were tinally agreed toon the 27th of Octuber, 1870, by General Changarnier for Murshal Bazaine and General von Stiehle for Prince Friedrich Karl 1t must havo been a beartronding trial for the octogenarian soldier, whom his patriot. ism alot could have induced to louve a retreat in which he might bave continued to enjoy rene rest on his well-won African laurels, when be felt compelled by an inexorable fatality to affix bis pame at the bottom of this, the saddest page of French military history! Better bad it been if, alter having shared the captivity of his unfortunate companions in arms, he bad retired forever into pri- vate lite, But be was induced to scek aseat in the National Assembly elected ov tne Sth of February, 1871, after tho final deleat of France by the German armies, und Chavgurnier having been returved to tbat endless Parliament of impotence, signalized himself among the most implacable enemies of his country, through bis miserable intrigues in favor of an Orleuos-Bourbonist fusion, which could only result in coniusion for its promoters, and the thickening of the politico-gocial mad characteristic of decaying nations, He was one of the warmest advo- cates ot a gouvernement ile combat, and led the parlia- mentary batile of the 24th of Muy, 1873, which re- sulted 10 the overthrow of Mr, Thiers aud the advent of “the moral order’? ring, with sfacMahon and De Broglie at the head of France, Since then he bas not been prominent. ‘As uw writer Changarnier would be quite ignored wero it not for aremarkabie contribution on the reor- gavization of the French army, which ap- peared in the Reoue des Dewe Mondes iu 1866, soon after Sadowa, and in which the old experienced soldier warned the imperial War Oitico of the unavoidable conflict with Prussianized Germany, Changarmer was quite adverse to the Prussiun principle, bow adopted everywhere—namely, the armed nation, and, with masterly arguments, pretended that with 500,000 soldiers (of Which 300,000 were to be infantry), well trained, severely disciplined und commanded by ex- periencea officers, France bad nothing to dread from the 1,200,000 German “machines,” waose too large number and consequent difliculty to move them on tue field would make an easy prey for a less numerous, and, of course, more active enemy, the traditional Suria francese doing the rest, General Changarnicr leaves: ‘no pusterity, having remained u bachelor. ‘This fact, however, did uot prevent him from energetically ad- Vocuting the imposition of a heavy tax on celibacy ; but this was considered as a little joke played by the grave General upon himself more than anything else, Physically, Changarnier was a rather tall man, of a nervous character, with square shoulders and broad chest, Always dressed wit) a cross-buttoned black redingote, with the red rosette of tue Legion of Honor (of whien he had been made a grand officer in 1849), his neck veing imprisoned within the classical military black, stift collar—the deceased General— whose severe looking ace, ornamented with white mustaches cut brush-hke at the level of his upper lip, wus in perfect harmony with the soldierly deportment of bia whole frame—offered the most pertect type ot military rigidity iearnated intow man.

Steinway Hall was crowded last night on the occa- sion of the concert tendered to Mr, Carl Alves, a well known teacher of vocal music, by bis pupils, It was not an Essipoff nor a Thomas audience, being largely composed of the friends and relatives of the ladies and gentlemen who sang, but it was appreciative and enthusiastic, The programme was very long, but varied, including selections from Owen, Gounod, Liszt, C. Alves, Meyerbecr, Brahms, Bee- thoven, Arditi, Schubert, Kreutzer, R. Franz, Hauser, Schumann, Proch and Rossini, Mr. Alves deserves credit for instructing his pupils in the higher schools of music and making the concert one of real interest to lovers of music. He bas reasun to be proud of his scbolurs, of whom all were good, some excellent, apd a few far above the average of Oue of the principul suces the début of Miss Agnes Florence, a young lady un suully gifted, Sbe sung ‘Invano il tato,” trom Meyer- beer’s “Robert;’? “Woher dieses Sehnen, by Proch, and “Tbe Carnival of Venice. In this difficult music she revealed a voice of great beauty, extensive range and remarkable flexibility, The bigh:.t tones were reached with perfect ease, and the accuracy with which sMe rendered the most difficult passages Was astonishing in one so young, The quality of her voice recalls that of Miss Minaie Hauck, who some 80 successful im opera im this country ince tuken high rank abroad. The same purity of tone and smooth ness of expression is notice- 2 in the voice of Miss Florence. An alto solo, Veni Creator,’? with violin accompaniment, was charmingly sung by Miss Schuetz, and Miss Kate Nailer stng two Schumann selections with a depth of tveling rare in a young lady apparently of six- teen, The Misses Grimminger, Schneppe and Wein- garteu were warmly and deservedly applauded, and a mere child, Miss Anna Hild, song a lullaby by Branins With an innocence and simplicity which delighted all her hearers. ‘There were some tine voices among the gentlemen, purticularly those of Mn G Steinbuch, «a baritone whose chest tones were superb, aud Mr. Specht, whose sweot tenor voice might have Deen heard to better advantage than in Beo- thoven’s ‘Adelaide,’’ which is so lucally passionate and beautiful that we have never beard it worthily ex- pressed by any singer. Mr. R. Saunders sang Sel bvert’s Wanderer" with both delicacy aud power. The piano and violin accompaniment by Mr. Alves were those of a thorough musician, Altogether the concert, though not without faults and deficiences, was un- usually enjoyable. CHARLIER INSTITUTE—LECTURE-CONCERT, Mr. George G, Rogkwood, the well known tenor, gave a very entertaining and instructive lecture con- cert at the Charlier Institute in Fifty-eighth street last evening. The lecture was entitied, ‘Historical Sketch of the Development of Sacred Music,’ and the inte- resting subject fell into competent hanas.) The gen- eral treatment of the subject was comprehensive and analytical and served to dispel from the minds of the audience the popular faliacy that “the devil has the best music.’’ ‘The highest and grandest ideas in music have been inspired by sacred themes, and the title, divine art, is therefore not an idie compliment. The lecturer traced music from the mythical Jubal down to Handel, in whom the utmost de- velopment cf the sacred song was reached, Jubal, the Hebrew writers, the = early Christian Courch, the Gregorian chant, the era of the Reformation, Valesrina, Bach, Handel and Haydon were all cloquently reterred to. ‘The lecturer said that the music of *Kathicen Mavourneen’’ was written by Wiluam Roberts 1 1840 to the words of Bishop Hever’s hymn, Ho contended that there was no excuse lor introduciug secular music in Church, as the later spossesved the best works ever written for voice or orgab. The lecture was profusely illust by ex- colient singers, such as Miss Kate Stark, soprano; Sr. Jules Lumbard, basso; Mr. Gedney, organist, and the choir of the Church of the Heavenly Rest. The masi- cal programme consisted of an old Gregorian chant, an Anglican chaut, Luther’s hymn, a modern Te Deum and selections from the ‘Creation’? and “Messiah. ’” OLYMPIC THEATRE, ‘A talented and selected company 1s now playing Mr. Daly's local drama of “Round the Clock” to large audiences, The revival of this piece introduces some clavorate scenery and several special features, consist- ing of wrestiing, a fire, chorus and quartet singing anda ballet, Mr, Fawcett as Kilgoblia, the Man of Disguises ; Charles Leclercq as Rardacre, the Wheedler, and Edward Lamb us the Lawyer, present characte of distinct city types in a way that insures the success of the piece, Tite Goorgie Brow as the Pretty Baker Miss Mary Wells as Rascal Sue arc also cupstai in their several 7é/es, The plot of the piece aflords avun- dant opportunity for introducing nearly every phase of city life, and as the action progresses it grows ip interest with every act, As nearly every leading name tat such good audience: pany iL 18 Hot surprising e tte performance of “Round the Om the 24 of December, 1351, a commissaire de police uttracied uz we uresent Clee!

In accordance with previous arrangements the party took steamer svon alter teo o’clock and went up the East River to Willett’s Point Fort and Fort Schuyler, The Secretary of War viewed the works, aud General Now- ton, assisted by the other scientific officers present, explained tor the benetit of our non-military War Min- r the condition of the forts, their armament and arrisons, 48 Mr. Cameron bas of himself no protes- sional knowledge of the matters which were brought under bis notice, he was ob! ith other eyes and hear with other ears than his It was there- fore obvious that, so far ag the value of bis official opinion is concerned, he might just as well bave re- mained in his private ollice near the White House. DARING BURGLARS CAGED, CAPTURE OF “‘SHEENY MIKE” AND JOHN WALKER, THE PERPETRATORS OF A SCORE OF ROB- BERIES. On February 4 the store of H. C, Bauer, at No, 315 Broadway, was entered by burglurs and $6,000 worth of silk cloaks was carried off. The robbers were seen by aperson in the neighborhood, who furnisbed a description of them to the police, and the Central Oftice detectives were tnstructed to keep a sharp look- out for them. No trace of the burglars could be bad, however, and it was at first thought that they bad left the city or were secreted by contederat Ascratiny was made by the detectives of the nature of tho goods oftcred tor sale in pawnbrokers’ establishments, and such places a8 are suspected of being ‘fences’? were also rigidly watched. But the missing silks tailed to appear, and it began to be fancied that they had been sent out of the city. Yesterday atternoon Detectives Ferris and Von Gor- ricten, of the Central Office, were patrolling the Second avenue line of cars when they noticed near Ninth street two men who answered the description of the missing burglars. They watched their movements tor awhile and then arrested them. On woe brought to the Central Office oue gave his nameas Michael Sheeny, but was at once recognized ay the notorious “Sheeny Mike” The other name is John. Wulker, lias John Wilson, alias Dempsi found two revolvers, a complete and a number of vanilla beans. Ti ples of the pooty of another burglary which the two worthies bad committed in December when one of them opened the store of Gomes, Riapdo & Co., carly in the moruing, and, aga porter, delivered $12,000 worth of vanilla beans to bis confederate, who drove up in w truck and carried off the plunder. The two burglars it was known had a hiding place, and after some difficulty it was traced to No. 820 Ninth street, It was found there that # trunk bad been aken {rom the house by an expressman, and in re- on! to @ telegram from headquarters Captain cCuliough detailed a policeman to discover the pressmun’s destination, ‘This was found to be Hudson River Railroad depot. There the trunk was found, with $2,000 worth of the stolen silk cloaks init “Sheeny Mike”? is the same man who was arrested by Captain Petty time aud again, once for the $20,000 Jewelry robbery in Fulton strect, again for a like ‘offence of the same magnitude in Ni ju street, and he was connectod with the gang who perpetrated the $20,000 Chatham street jewelry store burglary almost a year ago.
