Emigration. Ignorance, Error and Audacity Refuted. Sm—tin the New York Herald of the 5th instant, 1 find an article copied from the London Herald of of error and falsehood, that it appears to me it woul be cowardly and unjust to that pares and its British readers, as well as to the city of New York and the United States, to permit it to pass unexposed and factory manner. The London Herald, after relating a French an- ecdote, says:—‘We scarcely take up a New York or Philadelphia newspaper, without meeting some shocking cases of death from want”—and then draws some inferences from these premises It then says—According to this law, more especially in the States of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva- nia, and Maryland, every passenger on his arrival in any port of those States, has to pay one dollar,for which the State guarantees that he shall be provided for in case of sickness or want. This money must be paid, and itis paid, because the ship’s owner is responsible for it. Further, the expenses of natural- ney, according to an act of the several Federal Con- esses, is destined for the same purpose. This law a3 been in force since 1792, rey according to ‘Dr. Seybert’s excellent statistical tables of the United States,’ the number of preraninass landed at the D ladelphia, and Baltimore. rom the year 1800 to 1815, amounted to upwards of 3,000,000; consequently 3,000,000 of dollars came into the treasuries of these four Stateg’ The num- ber of emigrants has, since that period, much in- creased, and consequently the sums paid into the tveasuries, might most certainly have enabled the governments of the different States to extend the establishments for the reception of the distressed.— This, however, they have not thought proper to do; on the other hand, they have considered it more ex- pedient to turn to their own use the moneys paid to them for that particular purpose. The num- ber of passengers landed at the port of New York in 1843, amounted to between 300,000 and 400,000 ” The article in the London. Herald goes on to calcu late, assume, Xe. from the foregoing statements, but as I do not consider its calculations and assumptions of any importance, because drawn from erroneous or false premises, I have not quoted them But I have gna sufficient to show that the London Herald is egregiously ignorant of our institutions and laws, and unparalleled in audacity in publishng error and falsehood. Be it my task then to prove my assertions to demonstration. As relates to the statement of “death found in the New York and Philadelptiia papers, 1 think the London Herald must either get different papers than what circulate here or an improved edi- tion of them, calculated for the meridian of the Lon- don Herald exclusively. 1 read five daily New York papers, into which are copied such occurrences in Philadelphia and elsewhere, but cannot recollect of but very few deaths from wantin those five papers It is possible that the London Herald may have been reading the London Times when in a drowsy state, or in one of the very foggy days to which the great metropolis is subject, instead of New York and Philadelphia papers, and had read the statements in that paper of the state of the persons employed in the Andover workhouse in England. Did the London Herald ever see ey, statements of want, destituuon, We , on the part of paupers, and negligence, embez- zlement, drunkenness, lasciviousness, even to force, “and other atrocities equally shocking,” by a cleri- cal master of an alms house in this country, or any- thing to equal those at Andover? (See the Express of the 6th instant, ‘‘ Foreign Items.”) As regards the statements of ‘*Dr. Seybert,” which the London Herald has quoted as good anthority as to the number of passengers landed at the ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, from 1800 to 1815, it will not be expected that I can arrive at positive proof in order to disprove his statement, be- cause it would be attended with too much labor and research, even were it possible to come at the docu- ments in which the register of the passengers were kept. A comparative view 1s all that can be given, and that view willbe so satisfactory, in my opinion, that few, if any, will doubt that Dr. Seybert’s state- ment is as far from the truth as the statement of the London Herald as to the number of passengers in 1843 at the port of New York. ‘The number of alien passengers that arrived at the port of New York in 1843, according to the regis- ter kept by aclerk in the Mayor’s office, which | ex- amined, was 45,359. The commutation money, and for bonding also, received for those passengers was $6,596. Not having access to documentary evidence 4s to the number which arrived at Philadelphia and Baltimore in 1843, 1 will avail myself of the labor and statement of Dudley Selden, Esq., which ap- peared in the New York ferald of | March 19, 1845, as to the number of passengers which landed at New York and other ports in 1842. In making my statements and comparisons, to save time, I will omit the fractions and confine my- self to the thousands, as that wall be near enough in a calculation of such magnitude. According to Mr. Selden, the number in 1842 was 74,000 at New York—other ports, 37,000. This wa» the greatest number in any one year. The average of eight years,"35 to’42 inclusive, was 52,000—aggre- gate at New York, 422,000 for the same time. Now, observe the very great disparity between the statement of the London Herald and the actual facts as copied by me trom the register. The Herald says 300,000 to 400,000, I wy, ony 45,000, which is only bout one-eighth. us one big lic is nailed to the counter. The amount of money received, as a mat- ter of course, follows as lie No. 2. Iwent to the custom-house to see if any register had been kept of passengers that arrived from 1800 to 1815 ; but could not find any. The farthest back that could be found was 1827; so that if a re- qr had been kept prior to 1827, it had been lost or estroyed. In what way Dr. Seybert obtained his “excellent statistical tables,” t cannot imagine. But let us try their excellence by the following com- parative view between the years 1839 to 1836, inclu- sive, and 1800 to 1815. The actual number which arrived at the port ot New York in the ten years trom 1830 to 1839, as taken by me from the books in the Clerk’s office, was 298,000. GRY; TAT)» os 00 v penne aces vos The half of that added for other five years. from want” + + 150,000 450,000 Add for Philadelphia and Baltimore. ........., 300,000 Which make terse weeteeertrer eee e eens 100,000 —say from 1825 to 1839. Now, it is notorious that the commerce of the United States was not a tithe in 1800 to what it was in 1825; consequently the number of passengers must have been comparatively few. From my cwn knowledge, commencing in 1803, 1 know that the number of passengers which came here then was small. I have asked persons who were in the city in 1811, who told me that they thought there was not one then tor fifty now; and even up to 1816 the aumber was small. There was a reason then for the smallness of the number of passengers from Bri tain which does not now exist. Artisans were pro- hibited from leaving that country by an act ot Par. lament, and that prohibition was ‘not repeuled tli titer 1830. So that if Lallow Dr. Seybert one-tenth ot his 3,000,000, 1am confident 300,000 would tar -xceed the actual number. [ even think 100,000 0 \arge estimate. But | am not under the necessity of lepending on guess-work or comparative culcula ons. T come at it by a surer process, by which 1 think all will be convinced of the falsity of ‘Dr. Seybert’s excellent statistics,” and with which | auil them to the counter ‘like base coin. Let us, then, see what the censuses tor 1800, 1810, ind 1820 say in relation to this matter.— Che white population in 1800 was 4,177,000. In 1810 it was 6,050,000, which was anincrease inten years of 1,873,000." in 1820 it was 8,112,000, which was au increase of 2,162,000. By taking halt of the 2,162,000 4ives the increase from 1810 to 1815, 1,081,000—that idded to the increase fron: 1800 to 1810, makes only 2,854,000, which is 146,000 less than ‘ Dr. Seybert’s excellent statistics,” makes the number of the pas- sengers which arrived at New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, caring. the same years. Was the aatural increase from births overdeéaths only 146,000 tess than nothing in fifteen years? Can Dr. Sey- vert, or the editors of the London Herald enlighten oar minds as to what became of ull the children that were born in the United States from 1800 to 1815? Did they ali G. T. T. Vor did the chmate, whieh the London Herald says “is far trom heaithy,” and “the pestilential banks of Mississippi,” cut tlie mall off, as were the first born in Egypt in the time of Pharaoh ? What now becomes ot the London Herald's stute- ments? But these two statemeuts are not the only blunders it has made. [t makes New York, Phila- delphia, and Baltimore to be in. “ tour States,” but what two States one of those cities are in is a mys- tery which I cannot solve. The number of ne gers being erroneous, it follows of course, that the amount of money—the dollar for each—“ paid into the State treasuries” is erroneous also. hos- pital money does not go into the State treasuries, neither does the commutation and bonding money. How the hospital money is appropriated would ait ‘or tor passage, having accommodations unequalled (e P FOR HAYRE—Secoud Tne — BAMIGE Me gemort ably on "boerd, Rt "Oneune whar fot he packet ship ONEIDA, Capt, James Funck, ss Oo DO. street BARB are ic TIRE | tae tpg COMING WOO. 0 But t KE ‘acket a Capt, Asa Kidridge, le: sald No.9 ‘Tomune bunion g, 48 Walla, | ceod the Garrick and sell ith Nov frstegiae,tpnas Will sue i occupy more of your paper than you can devote to it. ‘This is not the only instance in which the edi- tors of Briush papers—tory ones in partuieular—have shown their ignorance of, and their spleen and ma- lignity towards the republicans.

Tue Ovurrace in Gremne.—We have received from a gentleman of Greene, at our request, the fol- ing full and interesting particulars of the late daring out e committed in that town :— Mrs. Burdick, formerly Miss Baxter, was married six weeks since to her present husband, who is the brother of Mrs. Hammond, the wife of the present lessee of a farm lying mostly within the corporation of the village of Greene, and belonging to John Johnson. Hammond and wife, and Burdick and wife reside in the principal farm house, a two story building situat bout one-fourth of a mile north of Lewis Juliand’s residence on the east side of the river. M jaxter, a widow and the mother of urdick, resides upon the same farm, in a small red about thirty rods from the residence of Hammond and Burdic! * There was some opposition to the’ marriage of Bur- dick and wife on the part of the friends of each, and some | feeling it is thought still exists upon that subject. On Monday evening last, Burdick and wife had retired to bed as usual, in a hed-room on the ground floor, out of which there opened two doors—one into a milk room, from which there was another door opening out of the back part of the house. There was a window with shut- ters, opening from the bed room out of the Back part of the house. After retiring to bed as before related, Bur- dick arose and went into the kitchen where were Ham- mond’ family for the purpose of dressing a bruise upon his leg which was painful, While Burdick was absent, the bed room was entered by two persons, either through the windows, or the {oor opening into the milk room. One of the’ persons immediately seized Mrs. B. by the throat, grasping it so tightly as to prevent her from calling for assistance ; the other person seized her feet or ancles, and then both endeavored to take her from the bed In the Straggle she finally succeeded in so far releasing the hand from her throat as to scream, up2n which tho persons both released their hold and escaped. Her cries for heip im- media’ely brought her husband and others into the room with lights, but the depredators had fled, leaving no trace behind except the marks of tbe violent hands upon the neck of Mre. Hy, and a cape or vandyKe, as. if fs call ed, worn upon the neck of one of the intruders, which was pulled off in the struggle, and which Mrs, 5. imme- diately recognised as belonging to her mother. It was thought best by the family and ueighbors not to give publicity to thi: transaction until the next night, ing that the attempt might then be repeated, and ig resolved to keep a strict watch about the pre- Tue next day about 2 o'clock, P.M., Messrs. Hammond and Burdick being in the field at work, Mrs _B., feeling unwell, went into the same room to lie down, having first taken the precaution to have the door opening into the milk room, and the window blinds fastened on the inside, the window being left raised. When she had partially fallen asleep (supposed to be about 3 0 the window shutter was taken off from the hinge: the room entered by two men in disgui B and blindfolded her, her out of the room ‘through the barn- yard to the back side of the barn, as it is supposed, and then across the fields, halfa mile or more, to a swamp upon the farm of Elijah Rathbone. In forcing her from the room, some noise was made, which was heard by Mrs. Hammond and a dress make a young lady who was at work for her, in the other room They immediately went to the bed room and tound Mrs. B. gone, and the door and window open. They gave the and Mr. Hammond went immediately to the vil- lage for help to search for Mrs. B. Several of the villa- gers went up to the premises (about halfa mile from the Chenango House) and commenced searching the premi ses, ‘After searching ineffectually for some time, Messrs.

The men, or rather monsters who thus treated her. were disguised in such a manner that she could not re cognize them. Her mother and one of her brothers have been arrested upon suspicion of participating in some way in the outrage. ‘They are now under examination, and. our citizens are upon the alert to trace out the vil lains, and if possible to bring them to justice.

W. G. Williams, of the United States Topographical Corps. Somethiny more than a week ago, the boat was at “ Death’s Voor,” a well known channel leading into Green Bay, and a station was erected on the Blutls, a con- tinuation of precipices and chasms. In some places, the Blufls are two hundred and even two hundred and fifty feethigh—the surrounding country,is mostly barren and rocky. On the day before alluded to, Captain Willams was on shore with a party of men. Dinner hour approached, and the coe shone to the landing ; then it was discovered that Richard Bart- lett, a young man employed in the survey, was missing. Instead of waiting, Captain Williams di- rected the men to shove off und pull for the steamer, which was accordingly done. Alter dinner Captain W. continued his survey. tt not appearing, the sailing master directed the bell to be rung, and sent a party of men ashore to search for the miss- ing tman. ‘They returned at sunset without success. ‘Tracts were discovered on the Bluffs wi thin sight of the boat, but they could not be traced any ais- iance. The two succeeding days considerable search was made, but it was all unavailing. In the meantime the steamer had visited Eagle Harbor and retarned. The search was then abandoned as useless. The lost man has weulthy relatives at But- ‘alo, and he 13 the only son of a widowed mother. Daring «s the Indians are, they rarely visit that rocky place. Ii Bartlett had recerved a wound or been killed, we think he would have been found. When last seen, it was a quarter of an hour betore the boat shoved off; he parted from a comrade— each taking, as they supposed, the nearest route— when in sight of the bout, and was hurrying in that direction. As it was a cloudy day, he may have got into a piece of timber, where it is the easiest thing in the world for a man to get astray it he 1s not well acquainted with the localities. Bartlett lett considerable money and clothes on board the boat. —Green Bay Repub.

A at Pension Agency—Continual Quarrel for theRegular Nomination—Curious Political Developments. There has been a spirited struggle during the last three months, between the Mechanics’ and Farmers’ Bauk and the Albany City Bunk, in relation to the use of the United States’ deposite fund, and the agen- cy for the payment of Revolutionary pensioners. Shortly after the election of President Polk, a young irishman, by the name of Cagger, assuming to him- self an importance coequal with the extension of the Democratic party, and availing himself of the acci- | dental position as Chairman of the General Commit- tee of this City, inveighled Watts Sherman, cashier of the City Bank, into the belief that the Pension Agency could be removed from the Mechanics’ to the City Bank; and that, by Sherman’s participating with the barn burners, he (Cagger) could produce the change. Well, Sherman very good naturedly allowed the use of his name on a few occasions, such as vice-president to the Burwell Meeting, i&c., and petitions were inculcated for a change of the Agency—for Marcy was importuned as @ triend oi} president Corning, to interfere in the matter, but he eter itis ate he had many personal and po- litiueal triends belonging to both Banks, and there- fore, should not intertere inthe matter, but leave the President 2nurely free, as far as he was concerned, toact inthe premises. Well, the Agency remains with Mr. Olcott, as heretofore, notwithstanding the strong effort made by Cagger and Burwell to enlist Mr. Watts Sherman into the Burners’ ranks. As politician, Mr. S. will remain with his patron, Mr. Corning. | As this is the heart and centre of State politicians, you may well imagine what interest the great lead- ers take, in al! nominations made for the Legisla- ture. ‘The two rival Loco prints here, the Ar; and the Atlas, designate the nominees as they are announced, as Hunkers or Burners. That is the whole difficulty with the Assembly ticket in this county. If Burwell would pledge himself to vote tor Croswell tor State printer, why, he would ot course, be the regularly nominated candidate. So with Watson—his anu-Rentism would be overlook- ed in a moment, if he would intimate to Santa Ana that his vote would be cast fur Frenen and Cassidy Selfishness is the ruling power. If the great mass 01 | Pa | was insured for $1600 in Cincinnati— St. Louis the party only knew the unworthiness of both appli- cants for the State printing, buth papers would be dropped, and some poor devil of a printer from the country would be taken up and elected. Neither Croswell nor French are entitled to it. They are both men of immense fortungs, and it is a burning shame, that the whole Democratic party of this Statey should be divided upon the simple question of State printer. * Better abolish the office. Well, our whig friends are placed in a bad hers: dicament, Hundreds of the leaders pledged their votes against any anti-renters,still Harris, the ostesi- ble leader of the anties, is unanimously placed at the head of the whig ticket for re-election to the Assem- bly. Itis a bitter pill for Van Vechten and his bro- ther whigs, but he is compelled to swallow it Hundreds of law and order whigs will neither vote tor Van Schoonhoven nor Harris, in consequence of their begging anti-rent votes. If a third ticket could be selected, composed of men of talent and ability who would come before the people with pledges of support for the supremacy of the laws, thousands of both parties would sustain them in this city. Many honest whig preases have already denounced the course taken by Van Schoonhoven to procure anti- rent votes, and they will draw from him much strength from his old party friends, very deservingly too. The nomination of Sanford, as Senator trom the First District, is claimed by the Catholic barn-burn- ers as a triumph over the hunkers ; and the hunkers are equally ine that he is one of their “ ancient and honorable fraternity.” So with Walworth of the Fifth District. Both factions claim him in ad- vance of his election. But the strife in that distric was between Seymour and Mann; and as both were defeated, each one is satisfied that his antago- nist has been left otf the ticket. Of all nominations for a seat in the Senate, that of Williams in the Seventh District, caps the climax ; and as a dignified and sedate member ot the Court of Errors, he will surpass even Beers. It was this man, who, during the session of '43, turned the As- sembly Chamber into a bear garden, when he at- tacked and throttled Mr Allen, of Oswego, to the disgrace of the Legislature, and in contempt of its members. It is only a few years since, that the Senate was disgraced with such thi emble, Bishop, &e., and it is too soon to send delegates to the Senate, trom whom Colonel Young may be com- pelled to separate for the termination of his Senato- nial office.

Thursday :—‘ When the present Emperor of Kussia projected the great work now in progress in that country—the railway from St. Petersburgh to Moscow, a distance of about 450 miles—he sent two othicers of his army as Commissioners to examine the works ot the same kind in other countries, par- ucularly in England and the Unitea States.
