FOREIGN IMMIGRATIoN,-Last year there ar
rived at this port 10000 immigrants. This is
larger number than ever arrived in any one year,
and it is fair to presume that the immigration in
future will not fall off Let us then inquire what
provision is made here for the comfort and health
Of these persons. They are mostly of the poorel
classes-they engage cheap passages and, Q
course, there is close crowdng and hard fare
There can be no cleanliness during the voyage
and too frequently the ship fever is generated b,
the filth of the vessel As soon as they arrive
they are transferred from the ship to the steamboat
and again the same causes are at work, TO produce
disease and death.
This evil has attracted the attention of benevo.
lent persons here. We learn that the propretors
of the Brooklyn Warehouses, at Agiers, propose 10
erect large, airy, and commodious receiving
house, on an eligible site, in the immediate vicinity
of their wharves. Here the immigrants will be
received, furnished with wholesome food, and
baths, and prepared by cleanliness and nutritious
food, for their up.river voyage. Father Mathew
who interests himself in every good work. is ex.
tremely DESTROYS to have the scheme carried out.
Not only will the execution of such project add
to the comforts and health of the immigrant, but
this city will be greatly benefited by it. For every
year the malignant and contagious form of fever,
known as the ship fever, breaks out here, adding
greatly to the expenses Of the Charity Hospital
and injuring the business, and driving away visit
ors. The subject, therefore, is one which appeals
to the interests of our citizens, we'll to thei
humane feelings. We shall, at a future time, Civ
the details of the plan, which are not yet matured

view of the equivocal condition OF New
Mexico and Utah, they feel called to re-
doubled vigilance to preserve them from
the curse Of slavery. They see Southern
States calling extraordinary conventions to
determine what new action is requisite TO

LIES SUNNY SPOTS.
BY W. LEGGETT.

Through life's dark and thorny path,
Its goal silent tomb,
If yet some spots of sunshine hath,
That smile amidst the gloom
The friend who veal and woe partakes,
Unchanged whatever his lot,
Who kindly soothes the heart that aches,
lssure sunny spot ......
The wife who half her burden bears,
And utters not moan:
Whose ready hand wipes off our tears,
Unheeded all her own:
Who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot, .....
Aud carols blithely as a bird
She's too sunny spot. a
The child who lifts at morn and eve,
In prayer its tiny voice
Who grieves whene'er its parents grieve,
And joys when they rejoice
In whose bright eye young genius glows,
Whose heart, without blot, .u '..r'.
Is fresh and pure as summers rose--
That child's sunny spot.
There's yet upon life's weary road,
One spot of brighter glow, .,H- .sr f
Where sorrow half forgets its load,
And tears no longer flow; .. -. ..
Friendship may wither love decline,
Onr child dishonor blot; .......
But still undimmed that spot will shine
Religion lights that spot. y

Recently, however, I have learned that

Some of them are calculated to injure
me very seriously, and to involve
friends of mine who have spoken Of il.

On Saturday night, THE 17fh ult.,
about ten o'clock, was sitting in my

tolk him TO invite them in. In short
time Major r. S. Hunt entered and
! I invited them both 10 be seated. Gen
Fooie told me that he had come upon
an unpleasant errand, or something ia
that effect. asked what IL was. He
said that he wanted me TO give him a
