lnyiew of the great mortality, especially
IN our great cities, among foreigners, from
variety OF causes,not necessary to be referred
10 here, and the decrease in the, course of
nature among those whose arrival dates back
twenty, thirty, or forty years since, a deduc-
tion OF ten per cent. from these figures may
be deemed an allowance within the foct.--
This would leave us say 100000 foreign
ers Of all nations, and ! am persuaded the
official return on this subject OF the census
OF 1880 will not enlarge these figures.
Irepeat, therefore, my conclusions in the
former article, that our rec cent national
census will not exhibit greater proportion
than Twelve per cert. of foreigners by birth.

had occasion recently to refer to the ex-
aggerations prevalent on the subject Of the
numbers assigned our foreign born popula-
tion. stated then, that the assertion pub
licly made and going the rounds Of the pa
pers, that there were more Irish in the Uni
ted States than in Ireland, was supremely
absurd, that the tables of the recent cen
sus. SO far as they afforded the means ol
judging the point, indicate that the proper
tion of foreigners to the entire mass of the
inhabitants Of the United States did moi
exceed fifteen per cent, or less than three
and a-half millions Of the whole mass.
have now before me the lecture of T.
darcy niece, delivered in Manchester,
N. H., on the 9Th November last, in which
he claims that the national increase accor-
ding to the experience of all ages, would
extend our three millions and less than one
halt million IN 1890 to twelve millions in
1850; and that the surplus over these last
figures in The recent census-more than
eleven milllons-must consist of foreigners.
This is very ingenious mode, confess, of
ascertaining the aggregate of foreigners in
the United States, but itrests altogether up
on fallacies.
Since writing my former article, | have
re-examinea, in the light Of added facts, the
question, what proportion OF our popula-
tion are foreigners by birth, and The latter
investigation sustains the results which
have already pointed out.
The earliest ascertuinment of foreigners
in the United States. Of foreign emigrants,
on record, was made by DR.. Adam Seybert,
a we'll known statist He gave them in
round numbers, taking the arrivals from
1880 to 1910, at 100000 Seybert and ST.
Geo. Tucker reliable authority on the
same subject, concur in an estimate of ll4,-
600 for the ensuing ten years, expiring in
1920. These would make an aggregate of
arrivals from 1870 10 1920, OF 234 900 per-
sons. From this latter date the Custom
house returns give us official tables. From
1890 to 1880, l35 1888; and from 1880 10
1910. 579,370 foreign passengers are on
these lists. DR., Chickering, of Boston, who
has elaboratnly investigated this subject, es-
Inmates the number of Scots, English and
Irish emigran:s, entering the United States,
Via Canada, at 67,933 from 1920 to 1890,
and 1879, ,130 from 1920 to 1910.
This would make an aggregate from all
sources, from the twenty years from 1920 to
1870, Of 962,479 persons. The arrivals
from lS40 to 1880, amount TO l,55285
more.

UNITED STATES MAIL STE M SHIP

|
TIME public will he gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce that then. arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants OF travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. So.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the ...

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations Of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
