The unsettled state of affairs bet wooa the United State: and Denmark, has of late attracted mach attention to the Danish West Initics, English papors assert that i! is the intention of the United States to take posession of these islands in the event of « rapture be ween the to governments, in the attempt to settle the question of the Sound dues; and our press coutends that it is the da'y ef our government to convoy our morchant vessels through the Sound, and to retaliate upyn Daaish commerce for all wrong which we msy sustain at her hands in an attempt to avail ourselves of our natural and legal right to the free navigation of the Sound and Belta, which connect the Atlantic Ocoan and the Baltic Sea, and an untaxed participation in the com nerce of the latter; and Danish papers say, the subject ts p »st- poned by the intervention of the Emperor of Russia, ua- til the conclusion of the European war. However this may be, and whatever may be the final result, a desorip. ion of these islands wilt be interesting to the American reader; in giving which, I shall quote at some length from my own letters, which have not, however, mst the ye of your readers. ‘The Island of St. Thomas rises out of the ocean in lon- gitude 65 deg. 26 min., West, and in latitude 18 deg. 22 min., North; lies to the north of the Windward Islands and east of Porto Rico. On entering the mouth of the bay you are greeted by two small for's. In front you have a full view of the city of St. Thomas, which seems to be built on three spurs of the mountain, which rises few hundred yards from the shore; the effect is very denutiful, The houses are well built, generally of stone, with tiled roofs, large, airy and comfortable. Tho view fiom the mountain is exquisite. Looking down you see the city and placid boy, dotted with ships, at your very teet, the broad expanse of the ocean, with S Santa Cruz, Porto R’eo, Buck [aland and Sail Ro buried in the ‘‘vasty aeep” in the dim distause, Cast your eye to the west, behold hill rising upon hill and mountain ag mountain, a miniature Pelion upon Vasa, covered wil Palms which never cis, but stand Tmmortal sea marks ou the strand. ae. Now, by the aid of the ger tle breewe bowing good ni, to the Fo Ams sun, which light up the bay and hits with a soft, bright varied coloring, only to be rsflected ‘a tropisn sunset, But when gazing upon this deau- tifal panorama we exclaimed, ‘What are mountains, bays, istands in the distance, and settiag sun, it not re- flected from loving eves? Association is the beautifier of Heaven’s drapery. I am alone and this go:geous scene is lost upon me.” 1 descend the mountains. leave the clouds, resign tre blue of Heaven foc the “blues” in town, which can only be bani-hed by getting blue, and the weather is decidedly too hot for such an experiment. St. Themas is emphatically pre-eminently a commercial town. The average number of vessels artiving at this place for the thirty years has been two thou- sand fixe hundred; it is x free port, a commercial depot from which many of the Windward and Leeward Isisnds are furnished with éry goods and provisions, and has been populated by emigration from all nations of the civilized world, who speak almott every langage, There seme to be no nationality—s changing, moveale, coa- tmopolitical people of every hue aod complexton, from Snowy white to sooty. ‘The American, Dani:h, English, German and Spanish merchants are active, enterprisiog and intelligeat, have large copital invested in theic business, as may seen from the vast piles of merchandi-e on hand. The stores are fire-proof buildings, and often reach from Main street to the wharf, a distance of from four to six hundred ‘eet, and in many instanzes rent for three four and five thou- sand dollars per angum. Tbe city cuntains mauy beautl- ful dwellings, four esurches, a Jowinh synagogue, two banks, five hotels, barra-ks, two old forts, public library and many other public buildings, with a population of about 13,000. Imadea recent visit to Santa Cruz; embarked at St. ‘Thomas on board a schooner, and in less than six hours entered the bay and approached the city of Chriv'ian- stadt, the capi‘al of St. Cruz. Christianstadt is built like mort other West India towns, and contains a population of about 10,000, hes forty miles to the southwest of St. T:omas, and is the residence of the Governor Gon- erul of the Danish West India islands. Santa Cruz is about forty miles in leng’h, and from ten to fifteen in width, is one of the most fertile and proiuctive of the West Indies, and has aptly been called the garden of this archipelago; theverdare of its groves, its beautiful villas, and gardens of fl_wers, its waving lakes of cane, groves ot orange and lime, seem to vie with each other in em *ellishing the island Its roads, too, are aa beauti‘ul as they are smooth and excelleat. ‘Lhe island is extremely healthy, and often the resort «t American inyalide, ‘There in also another city on this island, situated at the extreme west end, and named Fre- derickstadt, but usually called “West End,’ with a popu- lation of some five thousand.

About the year 1630 the West Indies having attracted the attention of the commercial men of the Old World, two colonies—one of Dutch and one of English—were established on the two ends of St. Croix. They were not cestined long to live as friends; they quarrelied and fought; the Governors of both colonies were killed, and the Dutch withdrew to a nelgubaring island. The dpsoish returned to St. Crofx, attacked the English, killed most of the ia- habitants acd drove the survivors off The Dutch now immediately returned and shared tae fate of the English. The French hearing of the destruction of the Duteh and Englieh colonies, sent from the island of St. Christopher a cetachment of troops, expelled the Spaniards and took poseension of the island. Tho cruelty of the Spaniards towards the infant co'onies of this island caused Crom- well to declare war against Spain in 1655. The French held ion of the fland unti\ 1694, when they aban- doned it, end in 1183 soll it to Denmark, which govern- ment then held possession of St. Thomas and st, Jouns, and now owns the three islands; but to complete the changes and revolutions waich Uave occurred in these islauéa, (must state that St. Thomas was taken by the English in 1801, restored in 1802, retaken in 1807 and again restored by treaty in 1815. The inhabitants of these islands partake of the mixed character of the various netions which have at intervals held possession of them. They were at anearly ate su} plied with rlaves trom the coast of Africa, aad from ob- servation I should think the negroes of the three islands now number 50,000, about two-thirds of the who'e p»pu- lation.

The first Inside the square are rails, and ready, with them, to register the new comers. books are ruled into columns, and when written up, show the names of the heads of fami- lies, or single persona, the vessel they came by, ita cap twin’s name, the number in the fs their destinati the amount of money they brimy, and the relatives they reviou-ly bad in this country. Passed, one by one, with- the alley up to the registering clerka, and then passed on, this important work is done speedily and without con- fusion. When finished, the heads of families and the indi- viduals are interrogated about their choice of routes to their destinations. A counter extends on three sides of the square, and on this are exposed maps of all the rail- road and steamboat routes in the United States, The fullest information is given, and complete impartality shown by the clerks betweea competing lines. An at- tempt at undue influence over the omigrant’s choice, would be punished by a discharge fiom employment. While the registration and the sslaction of routes is taking place the luggage of the em’grant has been passed frow the barge or steamer, oy the forward gangway, on the dock and into the office of the weigh-master. When the route—say to the West—has been selected, the party receives a printed slip teliing the weigh-master how many railroad ticke’s he requires, to, say Milwaukie, the price charged for them, the number ‘of packeges he has, and the ebarge per hundred fur their t over fifty pounds, This is signed with the contracting agent’s name, and is the memcrandum of the passage agreement. This slip is taken back to the office ot the weigh master. The pack. ges are identified, put onto the scales and ‘One of twenty large thin bound volumer, mat ilwau- kie,” is opened, and on the inner margin is entered a full ceseription of the packages, their weight, freight, &c. Next to this margin are printed seven coupons on yellow paper, in Jarge type, of numbers for the Packages, with the route of transportation left black. If the party has four packages, fou: of these coupons are cut off, filled up, and pasted on them, anda ticket corresponding to the inner marginal descripticn is then cutoff and handed to him. This 1s his ba, receipt, Then the printed slip which he brought into the weighing office, is filled up and he is sent back with it to the cashier ia’ the cen- tral office. He takes pay for the and freight. What luggage is to rer in the Castie over night is passed out ot the weigh-maater’s office into a vast store- room, and there eg! tered and Isbelled with couapicu- ous blue tickets. A receip’ in blue is given for it, by number and éesignation of the pieces. During this time fires have been kindled in two wash- pg rooms, each fitty fevt by twenty in size, On one side ot the rooms is @ bath, large enough dozen at once to roll in and eplash avout. ‘Tne Ureton stands in it two feet deep. On two other sides isa large wide trough, with the water flowing rapidly in at one end and out at the other; atwhich any fifty sour people can be scrubbed and sweetened in short order. Abi nce of towels bung conveniently, and soap is no’ only most suggestive: ly bandy, but has got to be used. Every emigcant Iaod- ing at the Castle, well enough to stand the process, in- evitably is washed clean before he, she or it gets out.” In fad two bathing rooms the sexes of course are kept sepa- rate, It the vessels arrive early in the day, se as to land their passengers » t the Castle before 1 o’clock in the afternoon, the Commissioners generally have them out snd comfort: ably on their way by evening. What a blessing to them thia despatch is! "If they have to stay over for any cause, the 100m for comfortably shelteging them is ample. Three thousand people have slept there, after having previous- ly feasted on fresh and excellent provision. Bread, cl coffee and milk can be bought in the Castle in any quan- tities, and at wholesale prices. When a ship is tele- graphed, the baker fn elon is notified, aud a batch ex traordinary immediately goes into the oven. From per- sonal inspection we cau vouch for the most excellent quality of alt this focd. The ramparts of the Castle, its galleries, and the vast body of the inner circle, are tree to the emigrants tor exercise or pleasure. In cold weather it is perfectly warmed, and at all times, when fassergers are undergoing registration or crowd the room, a fountein is ia play throwing a very high jet, Its purifying influence upon the atmosphere is most per- ceptibie. ‘There is a large kitchen where hot water can be had by the women, aud where they can cook anything they may want. Kunners and boarding house keo pers arevigidly excluded fiom even right of the emigrants, ‘They are #o faithfully eared for, that if liquor is smug: gled in through: the gates, and ti found: {1 ts taken fron them and poured upon the ground before their eyes. they wre net permitted to drink anything im oxicating within the Castle walls. All immoralities, all disorders are suppressed, vigorously but kindly. ‘Le next fact interesting to the registration clerks and she puiltc, is the ciflerent modes sith which t meet the inquiry into their ‘cash means.” The invariobly understate it. They are afraid of being robbed, they also fancy that they will got trings cheaper, if they cueate the impresrion that they are weedy or destitute. they always conceal their money resources more or lens. the Germans a’so uniformly understate their oash re- rources, but not to the extent the Imsh do. They are atraid they will be robbed probably, and taxed certainly. The Fngiiehivan just as invariably overstates his pecuni- J resources, as the German and Irishman understate ‘The Seoteb, the Hollanders, and the Swedes, truthfully and hank tell how much’ money they have, and if the statement is received with doubt, are ready to puil out their belts or purses, and show the ‘‘pile.”’ tiom this it will be seen that the amount of gold an ilver coin, and bills of exchange, brought into the coun- try by emigration, is much greater than our statistica show it to be. From Germany come more females than males, From ireland vastly wany more. The entire emigration far- nishes us with cwenty-five per cent more females than males. ‘This fact will interest economists, and suggest to them more ihen ove subject of speculation. ‘he movement of this addiion to o1 arrival—ite distribution through the Ui m what it is commonly supposed to be. Puritan New England receives now most of tbe Irish Catholics; Massa- churetts more than any of her sister States. Pennsyl- vapia mostly takes English and Welsh; New York ‘ta great denl of everything,” as our informant said; New Jersey, ditto; Ohio, Irish and Germans; Wisconsin, Swedes and Germans; Jowa, Germans, almost exclasively ; ‘onnecticut, Irish; Minnesota, Germans; Maryland, [rian ond Germans; Indiana, all nations, the Germans prepon- cerating: Michigan, ditto; Hlnois, ditto; and Canada, nearly all Scotch and English. The causes that induce cmnigration very much decide the distribution of the emi- grants. Demand for labor and wages may re-distribute ‘hem—bat, primarily, they seek their friends and com- iatriots. ‘The following table of the apportionment of ome 29,000 of them, arrived during the past summer, will be found interesting.

Large quantities can find no store room, and are retained in the boats that brought it here. The best quality of wheat—white aud red—has come from Canada. Karly in the season,, there were some fine lots of white wheat brovgbt from Illinois; but it seon ran out—the great mass from that State being quite ordinary. The weather t> day is clear and mild, and the canal entirely free from ice. “A fow boats laden with wheat and wood, from South and West, are still moving.

There was quite a buoyant stock market at the firat board to-day, with more activity than we have no- ticed for some days, There was a pretty general im- provement in prices. Indiana 5’s advanced 3{ per cent; California 7s, %; I'Hnois Central Bonds, 1; Canton Com- pany, 3; Nicaragua Transit, %; Cumberland, %; Erie, 134; Reading, 1; Hudson Railroad, 1; Michigay South- ern, 13¢; Panama, 34; Galena and Chicago, 1; Cleveland and Toledo, $%; Chicago and Rock Island, 3. There was a small sale of Milwaukie and Missjseipp! at 86 per cent. This stock is not much known at present, but it isoneof the best railroad investments in the Western country. State stocks have become quite active again. The sales to-day were principally those of Western States. Erie was up and down like the mercury in a thermometer. The contbhination party have not sold much of their stock, and probably will not until some of the loons made to carry it mature. We believe that about the last of this month the clique will have to remit argely to mee; the exchange seld some time since. Then they may be compelled to let large lots of Erie stock go. Nicaragua Transit improved sl'ghtly on the opening price. Hudson River and Harlem are looking up. There are speculators who really believe it possible to inflate the market price ofeach. At the second board the market was firm, at a farther advance. Illinois Central bonds cloged at an advance of 44 per cent; Cumberland, 3; Reading, 3%; Hudson River Kailroad, 34; Michigan Southern, 34. ‘There were no shipments of specie from this port this week.
