The following is extracted from the
New York correspondence of the Nation
al Intelligencer, under date of June 80:
Immigrants are pouring into the city
in great numbers. 1t seems as though
half of the inhabitants of Europe had
been let loose upon US. In ten days,
probably three or four thousand have
come among Us, and since the first of
June, to speak within bounds, ten thou
sand cmigrants have been landed upon
New York and New Jersey shores.
Some of them are industrious, intelligent
and will make good citizens. All such,
however, leave the city almost as soon
as they enter it, and GO to the interior OF
the state or to the Far West, or purchase
farms somewhere in the vicinity OF New
York. The greater part Of the ten thou
sand emigrants, however, are of differ
ent class Of persons. They are poor, dis
abled, and helpless, and seem to be as
great burden to themselves as they GER
tainly are to New York. Our alms-houS-
es are now as full as they can be, and
yet applications for new admitsances are
made almost every day,
