No story connected with emigration en- be
more heart-rending than that related by the pas :
sengers Of the Aurelia from Cork, a part Of
whom arrived here by the st George irom Que
bee, on Saturday.
The Aurelia arrived at Crosse Isle after six
weeks passage, with about $40 passengers, in as
good condition as the us1aal privations, from
the want Of room and want Of provisions, will
permit. They landed, aad, alter remaining a
week, proceeded on towards Quebec. Soon az
ter leaving the Island a woman was found on
board SICK who was taken TO the Island, and
Immediately the ship was ordered back. The
passengers were now re- landed and confiaed in
a crowded shed, near the Hospital, with sentries
placed to prevent their stray ing beyond the en-
closure. In day or two sickness broke out a.
mong them, and from two TO six were drafted
out daily, to be carried to the hospital, never 10
return. After remaining about four weeks, du-
ring which time between sixty and one hundred
were carried to their graves, the remainder
were allowed to depart,-wives without hus
bands, husbands without wives,-chldren with
out parents, and parents without children One
woman, in the St. George, had lost four sons.
The condition Of the survivors should excite
commiseratlon on another account. They were
poor and short Of provisions. When their little
store was exhausted they were compelled TO sell
their bedding, clothes, and even shoes, TO pur-
chase subsistence from day today, at dear rate.
A part Of them were sent up by the Quebec Emf
grafton Society, and others forced free passage,
Tor the purser of the steamboat found IL no easy
matter to collect from people who had neither
money nor baggage.

The subscriber proposes to publish IN
this place an exclusively literary paper
with the above title:
The advantages Of periodical literature

a mere annuncialion of the manner in
which the contemplated paper will bc

sistance from many literary individuals
together with assurances of attention and
diligence on his own part, il IL was not
that the prevalency OF an opinion that a
purely literary paper cannot succeed in
this section Of country, has been the cause
of the failure of many such undertakings,
heretofore. Ii is only deemed necessary
to ask tho public TO discard an opinion,
which, predcated on no proper grounds,
is still the great and almost only reason Of
the depressed state of this branch of litera
ture in Virginia and the south generally;
for surely the fact that there is no part Of
our country which is not OVERLOOKING with
foreign literary periodicals, is an evidence
of an interest in and spirit to support
literature. And most certainly, when it is
recolected that the south has ever relied
with honor and success upon her own re-
sources in every other respect, no one will
doubt her ability TO build up and maintain
the character Of literary works within her
own boundaries. Let il therefore be seen
that a spirit to support and the talent to
maintain should be the only reasons of the
absence Of these literary repositories in
any country; and let liberal patronage
furnish the benefits Of an extended circu
iation TO the treasures of southern gems.
IRE columns Of the VIRGINIA WREATH

whom have already distinguished them
selves in the literary world, having ten
