Emigration to the United States.

The Superintendent of Immigration at New York,
has received the following instructions from th°
Department of State at Washington :-
1. All contracts that shall be made by immigrants to the
United States in foreign countries, whereby immigrants
shall pledge the wages of their labour to repay the expenseft
of their immigration, shall be submitted to you for your BP'
prove' in writing. They must conform to the provisions of
the Act to encourage immigration, approved July 4, 1864, end
no contract will be approved by you unless the immigrants,
parties to the contract, shall have actually arrived in the
United States, nor will any be approved by you which may
provide for the pursuit of a disloyal or otherwise unlawful or
disreputable calling or which may be at rates of wages that are
unreasonably low or improvident. All contracts made with
immigrants that may not be approved by you will be de-
barred from the provisions of the second section of the act
above referred to. You will keep a record of all the contracts
approved by you, stating the names of the parties, the dates
of commencement and expiration, the amount of compensa-
tion, and other general provisions, and transmit a copY °f
each to the State Department for record in the Bureau of
Immigration.

2. You will not approve any contract made with inaral"
grants in foreign countries to enter the military or naval
service of the United States, and where it is practicable to
do so you will notify each immigrant who may have made
such contract that it is void.

3. You will cause notice to be given to immigrants that
they can not be compulsorily enrolled for military service
during the existing insurrection, unless they shall volun-
tarily renounce under oath their allegiance to the countries
of their birth, and declare their intentions to become citizens
of the United States, And you will cause to be arrested all
persons who by fraud shall attempt to compel the involun.
tau service of immigrants in the army or navy of the
United States.

4. You will obtain and record in books, to be kept IA
your office, accurate returns of all immigrants arriving at
the port of Now York, ktatiug, as far as is practicable, the
nationalities of the immigrants, the place from whence
they came, the ports from which they departed, and by
what vessel, the dates of departure and arrival, the names,
sexes, ages, and professions of the immigrants, and their
respective places of destination in the United states. PO"
vision will also be mado for the safe custody of money, and
valuables of small bulk, which may be temporarily deposited
by immigrants, and for such custody no fees or charges
will be imposed. Letters will be received and forwarded
for immigrants, and such other facilities provided as mpg
conduce to their comfort and happiness without incurring
a tax upon your office.

5. It will be your duty under the Act to make contracts
with the different railroads and transportation companies
of the United States for transportation tickets to be fur-
nished to immigrants and to be paid for by them. The
transportation of baggage forms a serious item in the el'
penses of immigrants, and your attention is especially
directed to the importance of obtaining the most favourable
propositions from railroad companies, and other common
carriers, for this object. Every case of fraud or extortion
by agents, runners. &c., you will cause to be punished to
the full extent of the law.

6. It is also your duty to see that the provisions of the
Passenger Acts are strictly complied with, and all breaches
thereof punished according to law. For this purpose you
will cause all vessels arriving with immigrants at the port
of New York to be carefully inspected, and in every instance
in which the acts referred to shall have been violated,
you will take the necessary measures to have the captala
or owners of such vessels punishel.

FLINT HATCHETS.—We have already informed
our readers of the discovery of an immense deposit
of flint implements in the district of Grand-Pressigay, neat
Poitiers. M. Bourgeois, who has recently visited the place'
has written a letter to Mr Mike Edwards on the subject;
chiefly with a view to determine the period of the age °'
stone to which these relics belong, In his opinion ale
hatchets of the quaternary period may be referred to three
principal types :-1. The lanceashaped type, frequently ute
with in the drift of the Somme and other similar deposits.
2, The oval type, which is rarer, but always associatsd
with the former, and-3. The subtriangnlar type, which
is
smaller, thinner, and, in most cases, of much batter avcric°
manship. M. Bourgeois has found this form in the grotto
of La Chaise (Charente) with the reindeer, the aurocbs, the
rhinoceros, tichorrhinus, and the hyena spea43, but it is De
common iu caverns. All these quaternary hatchets are 001 i
distinguishable from the much more recent hatchets eoci,"'t
monly called Celtic. In the former it is always the snit"
end which it is intended to cut, while in the others the 14
end is chosen. Between the hatchets of the quaternq
period and the polished ones of the Celtic period, the rottao
hatchets of the Somme and those of the Kjoggenuroddiut at
of Denmark should be chronologically placed. The , of
hatchets of elaisitre (Grand Pereigny) are nearly
prodigious dimensions, there being some no less than 13j

Among the four or fivo varieties they offer, two beloozor,
the age cf the peat deposits of the Somme. 'rhea°
gular prisms, ending like scrapers, exist at La Claise.,•_r_
only differing from those of the Somme by more con_ ita:eir
able dimensions. The form of these implements and long
excellent workmanship, lead to the belief that they "
to the same age as those discovered near Abbeville
by
Boucher de Perthes.
