Total amount ..... ,266 90
During the past year, two hundred and ten thou
sand eight hundred and forty. four passengers ar
rived here from all parts of the world and In ac-
cordance with the law passed by the Legislature
in ls49, the owner or consignee of every vessel
coming from foreign port, Is compelled to pay
81 so fer head Gas communication money! to the
Health Commissioner, which was promptly paid
upon the above number; and the enormous
amount of three hundred and sixteen thousand
two hundred and sixty-six dollars was, there
fore, deposited in the hands of the City Cham
berlain to the credit of the Commissioners of
Emigration, who, by law, are bound to expend
the same 10 judcious manner, for the pro-
lection of the poor emigrant who may unfortu-
nately arrive on our shores in destitute condition.
Instead Of doing this in proper way, hundreds of
the poor beings were taken care of last year by the
police, at an expense to the city; and even at the
present time, we find men, women and children
from the old world, wandering through our streets
in sta rving condition, and without place to lay
their heads At night, unless they apply to the police
captains at the various stations, or appeal TO the
sympathy of our citizens.
We are informed, through reliable sources that
within few months past there have been whole
families OF emigrants cent to the office of the Com
missioners of Emigration, who, upon manag appli-
cation for assistance, were peremptorily refused;
and they have been compelled to wend their way
back to the police stations; nearly exhausted With
hunger and destitution. IL we are to Judge Of the
past and present management of the affairs of the
Office, and the suffering condition Of the many
enigrants in our streets, we should Say that the
time had arrived when our Legislators at the State
capital should take some immediate action in the
premises, and at once make a sslutary change in
the present system OF "protection to the emf
grants"
