only one individual appears to be specially impca-

ASSOCIATION FOR THE Protection OF IMM-
GRANTS We have received, within the last few
days, number OF communications relative TO al.
legged abuses connected with this association. All
OF these communications bore obviously on their
race, the evidence that they came from persons too
deeply interested In the business of Transporting inn
migrants to the interior, TO obtain implicit credence
we have carefully examined the whole matter, and
deem 1t just to all parties to place the whole bust
ness in its true light
The gross receptions and frauds perpetrated on
Immigrants on their arrival at this port have been
long matters OF notoriety. For years we had been
endeavorlng, prior TO the organization of the asso
clatlon now assalled, to awaken public attention,
and that OF the authorities, TO this matter. I'm
mense numbers OF these strangers were robbed and
pIundered, and the city burdened by large access
sohs 10 the number OF paupers. 1t was, therefore,
WIN great grauhcation that we observed the COM
mencement and progress of the movement which
has resulted In the organization of the Association
Tor ithe Protection of Immigrants Already the
most unequlvocal proof has been afforded Of the
htlhy OF The project and there is every reason to
ope that an etfectual check will be interposed
again re7tItlon OF these iniquitOus scenes of
plume pton, which were formerly witnes.
sed on tA- arTyal OF every passenger ship
The arrangement by which agent has been
stationed at Staten Island, is very excellent one
and the gentleman selected is well fitted, by his en-.
ergy and business habits, to discharge the duties of
the situation In a satisfactory manner. A moments
examination OF the case, will satisfy every disinte-
rested persontha the plan adopted by the association
is eminently calculated TO serve the end pr opposed
the protection OF the immigrant Instead of being
brought from quarantine with his luggage in a
lighter, for which he has TO pay, and being then
landed on the wharf, and exposed to the tender
mercies OF runners, agents, and cartnen, who hurry
him off to some clearinghouse, where he may be
detained for several days, then perhaps to fall into
the clutches of some rogue who sells him ticket
for transportation into the interior, which is utterly
worthless; the immigrant is now conveyed free of
expense from the ship, and sent off at once to his
destination In the country In many cases under
the old system, the immigrant was obliged to
pay more for the conveyance Of his baggage from
the wharf to the boarding house, than he now pays
for his passage to Buffalo. The association trans
port passengers to Buffalo tor the small sum of So
each, and TO Milwaukee for 81, 80. If they had
done nothing more than effect this reduction of the
rates of fare, the association would have richly
earned the thanks OF all the unfriended strangers
landing on our shores. But mention ought not to
be omitted of the fact, that the association trans
port the paupers gratuitously. Considerable num-
bers Of persons utterly unable pay cent for their
passage TO the interior, have been thus sent to the
West, where they obtain employment, and the city
Is saved from the exren OF supporting them. In
the last ship load of Norwegian immigrants there
were upwards of thirty athletic paupers, who had it
not been for the association, would now be tenants
Of the Aims House.
The death of the three children on board one OF
the tow-boats, about which so much excitement was
created by interested parties, not at ALL we have
found on examination, attributable to any want OF
care or prudence on the part Of the agents of the
association. The crowded state of the boat was
owing to the anxiety of the Norwegians to be TO-
gether; another beat was provided by the associa-
ton, but none of the migrants could be prevailed on
to leave the other.
A good deal OF opposition,may of course be expec.
ted by this association from those interested in the
transportation OF passengers, who are unwilling to
enter into the new arrangement. but we are con-
WINGED that if the business OF the Passenger Associ
alton be conducted with integrity and energy, it will
be of incaculabe service both to the migrant and
10 the city. II any abuse, however, occufs, we
shall not fail to expose ii, but will continue 10 watch
and guard the interests of the migrant, whatever
hands thew may be placed
LONG BRANCH AND OTHER WATERING PLACES
We understand that the company at Long Branch,
this season, is numerous, fashionable and very gay
they therefore require reporter of their pleasures
their rambles, their balls, their entertainments their
amlabities, their coquettings, their poutngs, their
flirtations, and their betrokals. The matters for
