II il probable that the immigration to our
shores from Europe, will be immense this
son. The California excitement will tend to
swell the tide. OF course a large proper
ton of the immigrants will be of the poorer
classes fleeing from starvation and misery at
home; and as the system Of transportation Is, In
spite of all that has been attempted by legislation
and otherwise, very defective, there is every
son to dread great deal of disease on ship board.
In these circumstances it becomes the duty of the
authorities to take all proper precautionary sana-
tive measures. The recent decision OF the legal
tribunals, declaring the emigrant tax unconstltu-
tional adds to the difficulty of the case. Some
thing ought to be done by the Legislature
of the State, to set thismatter right An intelligent
physician of this city has, we are informed, been
preparing an elaborate report on the whole subject
of ship-feyer, and we trust that be may succeed in
directing the attention of the authorities and the
public to this matter, so as to effect salutary prac-
tical results.
II appears from the records of the Commissioners
of Emigration, that nearly thirty thousand immi-
grants from Europe have arrived at this port alone,
during the past three months of the present year.
This single fact will enable those who have not
paid minute attention to the subject to Judge of the
vast accessions which are now made TO the popula-
ton and industrial resources Of the United States
from foreign sources. Ireland contributes the
largest proportion of this influx Of physical
wealth. From table compiled from the records
of the Commissioners of Emigration, itappears that
the immigration during the first three months of
the last year and the present, from the principal
nations of Europe, was as follows

of the sick, out of every one thousand, was thirty
on board the British vessels; nine and two-hfths
on board the American and eight and three-hfths
on board the German vessels This Is a most
striking disclosure. 1t does not rebound to the
credit of the British shipping engaged IN this bus-
ness. Indeed, the iNh and want of proper accom-
mediation and ventilation board these ships, are
almost incredible. Hundreds of these poor imml-
grants, badly fed and badly clothed as they are,
are thrust into the filthy holds Of these vessels
there hudded up together, and fall an easy prey
the malignant fevers wsioh are thus generated. 1t
has been computed that, during the year lSi7,
twenty thousand immigrants persisted by ship fever
at seaandn the various immigranthospitals in Anne
rican ports. A large proportion of this mortality
occurred in Canadian ports.
1t seems to us that the only efficient remedy for
this great evil will be found in the construction OF
vessels expressly for the purpose of conveying I'M
migrants; and the enforcement OF rigid discipline
OH board. Emigrant vessels should be built with
accommodations for the passengers equal to those
on board ship of war, with all the usual means
of ventilation. The bedding OF the passengers
should be brought upon deck in fine weather, and
be thoroughly aired and purified. An abundant
supply of water should be provided, and the allow
ance to the passengers should be served with regu-
larity A great deal of the most barbarous tyranny
is often exercised on board these vessels, by brutes
of officers and captains. Care should also be taken
that the passengers provide themselves with suf-
fcent quantity of provisions for the voyage.
Every vessel should have competent physician,
and IA proper supply of medicines There should
be an hospital for the sick, board Were all
these means adopted-no the detail Of which we
cannot, of course, here cnter-there would be a
vast saving of human life, and great deal of hui
man suffering prevented. 1t would be well for
some of the windy and clustering friends of ''lrc-
land and the Irsh," to move in this matter We
shall recur to it hereafter and perhaps, enter more
infinitely into the details.
