Office or the Commissioners or Emigration.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
AZ public Journalist, your at ention Is called to
notice the fact That the Office of Commissioners Of
Emigration cannot be found by many Of the very
persons for whose ostensible benefit 1t was cd.
tablished.
Until within few days it was held believe, in
thu ruins of the burnt City Hall without any roof
Deer it; put its occupants having been literally
frozen out of them, they have inmigratsd else
Were. to parts unknown, even to your CORES.
pendent Whi: difficulty, then, must the poor half
starved and tali frozen foreigners, who perhaps do
not speak word Of the vernacular, have to find it
/ can supply the answer by relating facts which
lately occurred to myself.
Having to pass by the ruins Of the old (called
New City Hall every morning, have been several
times assailed in nearly all the different tongues
and dale cts OF Germany and Ireland for informa
ton as TO where that Office could be found, until
as gentlemen who was waylaid at the same time
one morning, remarked, we would have to re-
solve ourselves into sfgn-boarcs for strangers If we
remained there much longer-a position more use
ful ihan agreeable.
Trusting this communicate on, and such comments
you msy make the feet, will have the effect of
srggs sting prouer notices and directions as TO the
wI,reabonts Of the Commissioners Of Emigration,
ut this Indictment season, TO the poor wretches
whom our laws stll permit to be imported, like
old nses, at . small duty, am, sir, &c, &C.,
