ascertaining whether there was any probability OF
the shortpess Of the crops in England, Ireland,
and other European countries, influencing emil
grafton TO this country, on as large a scale as we
were induced to bslieve it would. The result. Of
our labors is . conviction that within the next
twelve months, there will be a'greater food OF
emigrants here than we have ever had before, IN
the same space Of time.
In Germany, we learn that the most extensive
arrangements have been made, and that thou
sands and tens OF thousands, will embark early
| in the spring, many Of whom are, ne doubt,
now on their way. Whole villages of peo-
pie have made up their minds to turn
their backs on the land of their fathers, and
seek new homes in our country. Ths people Of
Holland, too, are d. iermined to emigrate in large
numbers Hitherto but comparatively few Hol-
ianders have left their country; but it appears that
the dire necessity which oompels the Germans
and other European people 10 bid adieu to the

says that already the ports are crowded with per-
sons about to emigra'e; but unfortunately they
are those whose loss will be severely felt, as they
possess pecuniary means and not destitute. 1"

at the last dates, that in Liverpool the price of
steerage passages to New York had risen from
three pounds TO four guineas.
The Germans and Holanders, who are coming
here in large bodies, have purchased lands in the
Western States and Territories, to which they
will proceed Immediately after their arrival. We
are Informed that the Holanders have purchased
an immens tract Of land in Ohio, in the neigh
borhood of Maumee, all wild, and that they
have employed agents here TO guide and direct
them when they arrive. The Irish will como, as
they always have done. by single families. Of
these, there will be many substantial, sound
farmers, who have for pears cultivated a small
patch Of five to ten acres Of land, and been
able to save a little from their industry,
after providing for their families The I'M
fortunate condition Of things in their native
land, and the want of confidence in the pota-

them to muster all they had in the world, and in
