from Bremen, says:
The Consul here drives a considerable business
in the marrying line. On the day of my arrival he
united lwenty-three couple-all emgrants about to

unmarried women with children or expecting to have
them, cannot land without giving heavy bonds

cluded in the foregoing list but there be little
doubt that if added to the other which have
