EMIGRATION UNDER DIFFI-
CULTIES.
An interesting story is told by the Glasgow Satur-
day Post of the adventures of a young lady, .51iss
Mary Brown. She was the daughter of a gentleman
lately dead, and inherited a small property from him,
on which she lived. Her only near relative in Glas-
gow was a " ne'er-do-weel" brother, a cab-driver, who,
having himself been disinherited, constantly teazed her
and extorted money from her. Having friends in
America, she determined to emigrate, and took her
of Glasgow steamer, which left
passage by the City
on Tuesday. Her brother, disappointed and vexed
at her intended departure, formed a scheme to detain
her. A trumpery claim was reared up, and a medi •
taiione fusee warrant applied for. This he swore
to, and got the warrant. Armed with this authority,
and attended by two sheriff's officers, he watched
the sailing of the vessel. Miss Brown, with her
friendi, was on board ; they remained with her till the
signal for sailing was given, and, bidding her farewell,
.
they went on shore and walked down the quay Now
was the cab-driver's opportunity. Seeing his sister d-
serted by her friends, and no help at hand, he sneaked
on board the vessel and caused his sister to be appre-
hended in the presence of the passengers, the ship's
crew, and the immense multitude of on-lookers. In vain
did she remonstrate against such shameful conduct--:-•
violence was resorted to, and she was dragged on
shore, and, refusing to listen to their proposals for
letting her off, she was carried before Sheriff ,Bell.
The Sheriff, after hearing the case, detected thi
trick, and dismissed the case. She left the Sheriff's-
office, and met her friends ; sbe was now freed
from her tormentors. A new dilemma now arose..
The vessel had sailed—Miss Brown's passage Was
paid, and all her luggage on board. To overtake the
vessel seemed hopeless, but still she was resolved to
make the. attempt. Hiring a cab, she drove to the
Greenock Railway station, and, finding a train on the
point of starting, was speedily conveyed to Greenock.
Fresh misfortunes seemed to arise—the City of Glas-•
gow. steamer had passed Greenock nearly half an
hour before the arrival of the train, and was seen
slowly steaming past Gourock. A Gourock steamer wile
leaving the quay, and Alias Brown went on board of it.
The Gourock steamer was rapidly overhauling the
wh.er? 11l on a sUdden the
hege. City of Glasgow,
latter was seen to " bout snip,' and ateant towards
Greenock. The cause of this sudden change arose
from an accident which happened to the oil cistern on
board. A steam-tug was dispatched to Greenock for a
fresh sapply ofoil,and hence the delay which proved so
fortunete for the persecuted orphan. Taking a small
boat Miss Brown was rowed towards the vessel, and
received on board • amid the cheers of the pas-
e„geee. A new matter of consternation now arose
the captain, thinking she would not get away, had
landed all' her luggage at Greenock, and there
was no hope of getting it. Further vexation was put
an end to by the return of the tug carrying the oil,
with all- Miss Brown's luggage on board. Certain
friends at Greenock had seen her luggage on the quay
and forwarded it with the tug. Thus were all further
impediments happily got over.
