Foreign Paupers to be reshipped.

A Boston correspondent of the Newbury-
port Herald, who picks up good deal of news,
states that the overseers of the poor, in con-
nection with the directors of the house of in
dustry, and the municipal authorities, are max
ing arrangements 10 send from thirty to fifty
of the recent importation of blind, paralytic,
lunatic and idioiic paupers back to the old
world. Those only will be sent who have
been taken from the alms-houses of England
and Ireland, or who have been sent to this
country by heartless landlords, to become in
stanily and permanently charge upon our
public charities. The correspondent conlin-

upwards of thousand foreign paupers at the

Nearly two hundred OF these foreign paupers
are now hopelessly and incurably insane.
The authority under which our city officers
will act in the shipment of those they propose
should go back to England, is given in The nth
section OF The 46th chapter of the Revised

CRIMINALS FROM MAINE. We learn from
John NJ. Spear that he finds more criminals
from Maine in the Leverett street Jail, than
from any other State. Most of them are
young men and women, who come from the
towns in search of honest labor. and being I'M
acquainted with city temptations, they commit
crime, and are imprisoned.
Mr.. Spear feels that parents should be in
formed of the snares to which their sons and
daughters are exposed. if they come to Boston
unprotected; and he intends during this sum-
mer, to make several tours through different
parts of Maine, with view of calling attention
to this important subject. We learn that sew
eral persons from Maine are now confined in
our city prison awaiting their trials at the next
term of the municipal court.-Boston Common
