Emigration to the United States.

The Superintendent of Immigration at New Yor
has received the following instructions from II
Department of State at Washington :-
1. 'ill contracts that shall be made by immigrants to e
United States in foreign countries, whereby immigftg
shall pledge the wages of their labour to repay the expert"
of their immigration, shall be submitted to you for your a
proval in writing. They must conform to the provisions
the Act to encourage immigration, approved July 4, 18G4, el
no contract will be approv( d by you unless the immigrial
parties to the contract, shall have actually arrived in t
United States, nor will any be approved by you which 10
provide for the pursuit of a disloyal or otherwise unlawful
disreputable calling or which may be at rates of wages that
unreasonably low or improvident. All contracts made wr
immigrants that may not be approved by you will be d
barred from the provisions of the second section of the."
above referred to. You will keep a record of all the contra
approved by you, stating the names of the parties, the dat
of commencement and expiration, the amount of comPenS
tion, and other general provisions, and transmit a copy
each to the State Department for record in the Bureau
Immigration.
2. You will not approve any contract made with itno
grants in foreign countries to enter the military or nag
service of the United States, and where it is practicable
do so you will notify each immigrant who may have ma'
such contract that it is void.

3. You will cause notice to be given to immigrants th
they can not be compulsorily enrolled for military Beryl
during the existing insurrection, unless they shall volu.
tarily renounce under oath their allegiance to the county'
of their birth, and declare their intentions to become citize
of the United States, And you will cause to be arrescod
persons who by fraud shall attempt to compel the invalu
taffy service of immigrants in the army or navy of
t.
United States.

4. You will obtain and record in books, to be kept
your office, accurate returns of all immigrants arriving
the port of New York, stating, as far as is practicable, t
nationalities of the immigrants, the place from when
they came, the ports from which they departed, and
what vessel, the dates of departure and arrival, the name
sexes, ages, and professions of the immigrants, and dal
respective places of destination in the United States. Pi

FLINT HATCIIETS.—We have already inforU
our readers of the discovery of an immense dep(
of flint implements in the district of Grand-Pressigay,
Poitiers. M. Bourgeois, who has recently visited the ply
has written a letter to Mr Mike Edwards on the Raj
chiefly with a view to determine the period of the age
stone to which these relics belong. In his opinion
hatchets of the quaternary period may be referred to a
principal types :-1. The lancesshaped type, frequently I
with in the drift of the Somme and other similar depos
2. The oval type, which is rarer, but always associe
with the former, and-3. The subtriangular type, whit
smaller, thinner, and, in most cases, of much batter we
manship. M. Bourgeois has found this form in the grl
of LA Chaise (aarente) with the reindeer, the aurcchs,
rhinoceros, tichorrhinus, and the hyena spola3l, but it is
common iu caverns. Al: these quaternary hatchets are ea
distinguishable from the much more recent hatchets e(
monly called Celtic. In the former it is always the to
end which it is intended to cut, while in the others the
end is chosen. Between the hatchets of the quatern
period and the polished ones of the Celtic period, the rot
hatchets of the Somme and those of the Kjoggenmoddi,
of Denmark should be chronologically placed. The
hatchets of Claisg:re C.irand Porpigny) are nearly all
prodigious dimensions, there bring some no less than 14
in length, and w ighing as much as 8 kilogrammes. SP
tern of the length of 12in. appear to have been struck
from them at a single blow, and with great boldnl
Among the four or five varieties they offer, two belong
the age cf the peat deposits of the Somme. These trL
gular prisms, ending like scrapers, exist at La Claisit
only differing from those of the Somme by more consid
able dimensions. The form of these implements and ti
excellent workmanship, lead to the belief that they belt
to the same age as those discovered near Abbeville by
Boucher de Perthes.
