The Progress of Emigration.

We give in this days Herald an engraving re-
presenting a scene on board emigrant ship
leaving Liverpool for New York. The condi-
ton of the unfortunate emigrants, is truthfully
represented.
The main body of the emigrant passengers that
arrive here, are however, not so destitute as those
represented in the engraving. Hundreds and
thousands of those that have arrived here within
few weeks, are men of health, energy, and
some capital. They are composed principally of
small farmers, who are moving to the west by
hundreds in every boat that leaves for Albany.
1t is great folly for certain prejudiced persons
TO continually cry out as they are in the habit
of doing, against these emgrants calling them
paupers and stating them to be incapable of
earning Il livelihood. A few of them, and very
few, compared to the great aggregate, are no
doubt in destitute circumstances. The whole
of them are not, as may be seen by their healthy
and comfortable appearance AT almost every
corner, patches of six or seven rosy checked,
athletic, and comfortably clad emigrants, are
hourly seen comparing notes with each other,
and celebrating upon and maturing their plans
for the future.
AS proof Of the whole ofthem not being des-
ttute, we will state that gentleman yesterday
informed us, that while he was paying his fare at
one of our ferries one of these emigrants arrived
at the gate and expressed his desire to go across
the river, at the same time inquirng the price Of
the passage. On being informed oft, he pulled out
of his pockets long greasy stocking filled one
half its length with sovereigns and half sove-
reigns, one of the latter of which he rendered for
his ferriage. The same man, judging from his
appearance, would notbe considered possessed of
shilling.
The emigrants must not be considered poor and
destitute, because they do not wear fine broad
cloth. They have for years perhaps been
amassing their little store, and like sensible men,
think it more prudent to expend it in way that
will tend to their reaching their places of desti-
nation, than in purchasing fine clothes.
