EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE TO

The late arrivals from Liverpool have
brought 10 the Eastern seaports large num-
bers Of immigrants, and many Of them
will prove useful citizens to their adopted
country. One ship arrived at Boston week
before last with seventy families, who were
sen, out, bound for Wisconsin, by socic-
ty in England, which has been formed in
this way: Every man having family and
paying TO the society one shilling a week
is entitled 10 membership. An agent re-
sides III Wisconsin, who receives from
time to time the funds, and as often as
they amount 10 sl00 he buys eighty acres
Of land, builds thereon a log house, and
fences five acres, which are planted.
The society are sending out families 10

agent 10 prepare the houses and lands.
When the families arrive, each finds his

society have made their arrangements with
llarnden d. Co., to take the immigrants in
Europe and land them at their own door,
in Wisconsin--which protects them from
all delay and imposition, and relieves then
from all care and trouble about Custom
house arrangements. These are merel,
