The steamship Hermann arrived at this port yes- terday, with two days’ later intelligence from Eu- rope, which will be found, in full detail, in to-day’s paper. This news is much of the same import as that which we were previously in possession of. The only difference we can perceive is, that the great struggle which we have so often predicted as like- ly to take place at any time, is nearer at hand than it was. In fact, it would seem that a terrible struggle is brewing, in which almost every nation in Europe cannot possibly help being engaged; and that it will take place before long, there cannot, we think, be much doubt. The Schleswig Holstein difficulty is, we perceive, ina fair way of being settled; but that cannot affect, except in a very re- mote and imperceptible degree, the general course of events in Europe. It is to the southern part of Europe—to Italy, in particular—that we must look for stirring news of stirring events; and, if we have yead the stars rightly, we shall soon have intelli- gence from that part of the continent of a character that will confirm all that we have previously stated. In fact, the campaign has begun there, as will be discovered in the details of the news published in another column; and where it will end no one can tell. That it is, however, the beginning of the end, we think there can be no doubt. That war i one of independence, and it would seem impossible that Spain, and other European nations, can keep of the sick, out of every one’ thousand, was thirty on board the Brit on beard the American; and eight and three-fifths ish vessels; nine amd two-fifths on board the German vessels, This is a most striking disclosure. It does not redound to the credit of the British shipping engaged in this busi- ness. Indeed, the fifth and want of proper accom- modation and ventilation on board these ships, are almost incredible. Hundreds of these poor immi- grants, badly fed and badly clothed as they are, are thrust into the filthy holds of these vessels, there huddled up together, and fall an easy prey to the malignant fevers which are thus generated. It has been computed that, during the year 1847, twenty thousand immigrants perished by ship fever at seaand in the various immigrant hospitals in Ame- rican ports. A large proportion of this mortality occurred in Canadian ports. It seems to us that the only efficient remedy for this great evil will be found in the construction of vessels expressly for the purpose of conveying im- migrants; and the enforcement of a rigid discipline on board. Emigrant vessels should be built with accommodations for the passengers equal to those on board a ship of war, with all the usual means of ventilatien. The bedding of the passengers should be brought upon deck in fine weather, and be thoroughly aii and purified. An abundant supply of water should be provided, and the allow- ance to the passengers should be served with regu- larity. A great deal of the most barbarous tyranny is often exercised on board these vessels, by brutes of officers and captains. Care should also be taken that the passengers provide themselves with a suf- ficient quantity of provisions for the voyage. Every vessel should have a competent physician, and a proper supply of medicines. There should be an hospital for the sick, on board. Were all these means adopted—into the detail of which we cannot, of course, here enter—there would be a vast saving of human life, and a great deal of hu- man suflering prevented. It would be well for some of the windy and blustering friends of “Ire- land and the Irish,” to move in this matter. We shall recur to it hereafter, and, perhaps, enter more minutely into the details. Tux ApMINIsTRaTION AND THE Cusa Question. We perceive that the Philadelphia North Ameri- an, which 1s generally regarded as the organ of Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, and in whose columns very oracular and pompous givings-out of he designs and purposes of the new administra- tion, occasionally appear from the pen of its vague and incoherent Washington correspondent, come out with quite a furious article against the agita- tion of the great question of the acquisition of Cuba and the annexation of the Canadas. This article is composed of a strange mixture of vitu. peration, assumption, sense and fustian, The writer in the North American commits a great blunder, when he supposes that the policy of any portion of the American people is to go to war with England and Spain, in order to obtain pos. session of Canada and Cuba ; but it is also entirely mistaken in supposing that the people of this country are opposed to annexation of contiguous territory. Itis quite evident that the annexation of Cuba in the South, and the annexation of Canada in the North, will be the great issue between the political parties during the next four years, or till the business be definitely settled. Politicians may fume and splutter—so-called statesmen prate about the horrors of an extension of our great republican empire ; but nothing can prevent the gradual and complete subjection of the whole continent and the adjacent islands, to the mild and gracious sway of that system of government under which this mighty confederacy of free States has so rapidly advanced in wealth, power and prosperity. In- deed, the North American itself, in the very article to which we allude, admits all this; and after all its blustering deprecation, unites quite cordially in out of it. The news by this arrival is of deep import. ‘To all who understand the present condition o Europe, every arrival from there will be of extreme interest. Immigration from Europe. It is probable that the immigration to our shores from Europe, will be immense this sea- son. The California excitement will tend to swell the tide. Of course a large propor tion of the immigrants will be of*the poorer classes, fleeing from starvation and misery at home; and as the system of transportation is, in spite of all that has been attempted by legislation and otherwise, very defective, there is every rea- son to dread a great deal of disease on ship board. In these circumstances, it becomes the duty of the authorities to take all proper precautionary sana- tive measures. The recent decision of the legal tribunals, declaring the emigrant tax unconstitu- tional, adds to the difficulty of the case. Some- thing ought to be done by the Legislature of the State, to set thismatter right. An intelligent physician of this city has, we are informed, been . preparing an elaborate report on the whole subject of ship-fever, and we trust that he may succeed in directing the attention of the authorities and th public to this matter, so as to eflect salutary prac- tical results. It appears from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration, that nearly thirty thousand immi- grants from Europe have arrived at this port alone, during the past three months of the present year. This single fact will enable those who have not paid minute attention tothe subject, to judge of the vast accessions which are now made to the popula- tion and industrial resources of the United States, from foreign sources. Ireland contributes the largest proportion of this influx of physical wealth. From a table compiled from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration, itappears that the immigration during the first three months of the last year and the present, from the principal nations of Europe, was as follows: Ireland, . England. Germany France. v 280 The remarkable increase of the immigration from Ireland is readily explained. It will continue to increase, and the character of this immigration will improve. The better classes of the Irish people are gradually fleeing from that land of bondage. Here they will not fail to realise the fruits of their indus- try, energy, and frugality. They will contribute, in no mean degree, to the strength and moral health of the communities in this country, among which their lot may be cast. No portion of the citizens of the United States can boast of more pa- tient industry, or more genuine attachment to the great principles of civil and religious liberty, than these commen sense American views. All it dreads is the embarrassment of the new ad- ministration, Well, let them learn wisdom from the past, and emancipate themselves from the shackles of party principles, which the spirit of the age repudiates. Nothing can prevent the pre- cipitation of this grand question of Cuba and Canada, upon the political contests of the two great parties. Let the wise observe the signs of the times. “Those that have ears to hear, let them hear.”’ Sympatnetic Revoivtionary Merrina.—We perceive that arrangements are being made for getting up a great mass meeting of Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Germans, Irishmen and others, to take into consideration the present’ condition of rope, and adopt such measures as may tend to advance the cause of democracy in that part of the world. We are glad of this. It is an excellent move- ment, and we are confident that it will be attended with beneficial results. It may be thought by some, that the struggling spirit of democracy in Europe, could not be assisted by any movement of the kind proposed in this country, so far away from the scene of action; but it can, and most essen- tially too. It must be borne in mind that it was the successful experiment of self government in America to which all the commotions that have occurred in Lurope for upwards of half a century past, may be traced, including the first French re- volution. A few words of sympathy from this country, at this particular crisis, might strengthen the ardent, confirm the wavering, and ultimately, destroy tyranny in every shape on that continent. We live in an age in which mind has greater in- fluence than it ever had, and when the discovery is being made that bayonets and bullets are ineflee- tual in perpetuating tyranny. Let us have the meeting, by all means. Unciamep Divipenps anv Prorerty, Tun Own- ERS OF which ARE Unknown.—By the report ot the select committee appointed “to inquire into the situation of the funds in the Court of Chan- 'y,”’ it appears that an immense amount of pro- perty, the very existence of which is totally un- known to the citizens generally, is locked up in va- rious ways and buried from public knowledge. By the act of our Legislature of April 12, 1848, the Clerk of the Court of Appeals was required to transfer the said property to the Chamberlain of the city and county of New York, and to the trea- surers of the several counties. This property, it appears, is put out on good security, but a great portion of it belongs to parties unknown, or whose residence is unknown, or who have forgotten to claim it. We are of the opinion that the names and full particulars ought to be published. This is done in London, where the “ unclaimed divi- the people of Ireland, who adopt the United States as their asylum and the home of their children. While speaking of this subject of immigration,we must not avoid reiterating our earnest remon- strance against the inhumanity of the manner in which the business of transporting these immigrants across the ocean has been generally conducted. We have again and again directed public attention to this matter; and we are happy to acknowledge that something has been done by our legislatures, State and federal, to render the transit of immi- Qtants to our shores less dangerous and fatal than formerly. But agreat deal yet remains to be done. ‘We extract from the report of the Commissioners the following table, showing the number of vessels engoged in the iramigrant passenger trade, that ar- rived at this port last yeur, the number of passen- gers, the number of sick on arrival, and the num- ber of deaths:— Mation of Veesels.

This report comprises a list of the bonds and mortgages held as security for this unclaimed property, but no information about the property itself. It is, in fact, a very meagre and almost unintelligible re- port. More light is wanting in the dark rooms of our Iggal administration and offices. light.
