IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.

A full history of the immigration to the United
States from 1819, the date of the first official re•
cords on the subject, by Mr. William J. Bromweli,
of the Department of State, has lately been issued at
New York.* The work also contains a review, from
such limited materials as are available, of the immi-
gration prior to the collection of regular statistics. The
current commenced from England, Ireland, and Scot-
land, and from Germany through the French and
British ports ; but it is believed that during the 10
years from 1784 to 1794 the average did not exceed
4,000 per annum. In 1794 thore was an increase, and
the number reached 10,000 ; but this rate is not sup-
posed to have been maintained, the average up to 1817
being estimated at only 6,000. After that period the
results of the termination of the war which had pre-
vailed between Great Britain and the United States
from 1812 to 1815 began to be developed, and in 1817
the total arrivals were 22,240. Two years later immi•
gration was facilitated by the passage of a law to pre-
vent the sufferings previously incident to crowded eml•
grant vessels, by restricting the number of passengers
and enforcing sanitary regulations. Provision was also
made for a statistical account of all arrivals, distinguish-
ing sex, age, occupation, and place of birth of each per-
son, and from that date to the present time we have con•
sequently full details of the entire movement. From
these it appears that it has gone on in the following
ratio :

10 years ending the 30th of Sept., 1829 ... 128,50'3
104 ditto ditto 31st of Dec., 1839 ... 538,381
94 ditto ditto 30z,h of Sept., 1849 ... 1,427'331
64 ditto ditto 31st of Dec., 1855 ... 2,118,404
Making a total of 4,212,624 in a little over 36 years, of
whom 2,343,445 were born in the united kingdom. The
year of the greatest immigration was 1854, the number
then having been increased to 427,833 by the influx of
206,054 Germans. Last year the total was only 200,877'
including 66,219 Germans. Of the entire immigration
since 1819, 1,747,930 out of the 2,343,445 British sub-
jects are believed to have been Irish. Germany iv!'
contributed 1,242,082 ; France, 188,725 ; Switzerlann,
31,071 ; Norway and Sweden, 29,441 ; China, in cons"
quence of the attraction of California, ; Mexico,
15,969 ; and Italy, r,145. From all other countries the
numbers are smaller. lluesia has furnished only 93S
and Turkey, 123. To the British subjects must be
added 91,699 from Canada, 35,317 from the West In;
dies, 101 from the East Indies, 2 from the Cape 01.
Good Hope, and 20 from Australia. In an appendix,
Mr. Bromwell gives the Naturalisation and Passenger
Laws of the United States, with extracts from the, lnell4
of the individual States relating to immigrants, the tru•
portation of paupers, convicts, lunatics, &c.
