NEGOTIATIONS WITH KoLAND ON THE SUBJECT
on EnoRArIoH "A correspondent, in letter
published yester ~. seems 10 think that the
Object Of the British government, 10 seeking to
set On foot Degosistions with this country on
the subject Of emigration, is merely to check
the tide Of emigrants from the British shores to
The United Slater. We dissent from this view.
For many year,, the subject OF emigration has
been carefully studied by the leaders of British
political parties; sod though the danger of
too rapid depletion OF The British isles has been
more than once urged by members of tue old
tory clique 1t Is now generally conceded on
all hands that Il would be a. impolitic to place
restraints on the egress of men and women as
TO lay prohibition export duties on manufac-
lures This we gather from the late reports of
the British commissioners of emigration; and 1t
il Obvious that no other policy would be consis-
tent With the free trade theories which prevail
in Great Britain. Partial attempts are still
made to attract emigrants to Canada and the
Other British colonies; but even these have be-.
come feeble of late years, and all parties seem
agreed to let the exiles take their own way.
So long as the United States presents q
better field for poor men than England, Ireland
or the British colonies, they win come here, in
despite Of laws and regulations to prevent them;
trammels on their free exit from q country
wb.re they starve would inevitably lead TO dis
turbances which no statesman in England is so
bind as not to foresee We do not think,
tier efore, az our correspondent does, that the
oveItures made by the British government con-
ceal any latent inimical purpose; and until
some further light is thrown on the subject, We
shall venture to interpret them as their Ian
guage imports, viz As evidence Of a desire
to ameliorste the condition Of emigrants. In
this view we trust they will be cordially met
on this side of the water.
We differ from our correspondent In thinking
that government should not regulate these mat
tiers, but should leave them to the enterprise and
humanity Of shipping merchants. If the latter
were held to the same obligations in respect to
enierants as they are in respect to goods, and
bound to deliver them in good order, and as
perfect as they received them, we might agree
with our correspondent. AS it is, we are very
decidedly Of opinion that the relaxation Of State
vigilance over the transportation of human
creatures in ships would be attended with in
finite danger and injury

The DRUooED LIQUOR OF THE New HAMP-
SHIRE LEaIsLATuRE-THE WAY TT WAS DONE
Our readers will remember that some months
ago, when the New Hampshire Legislature was
in session, the wrath of the administration
democracy at Concord was reused against the
opposition coalition upon charge that they
had drugged the liquor of the faithful, and had
thus rendered them unable to be in the House
when their services were most required. A
committee was appointed to investigate the
matter, but we have never had the benefit Of
their report upon this drugging business. But
it is at length explained by the Dover Inquirer,
as follows

New THEATRES IN New YoRX.-We give in
another place, full, accurate and carefully pre-
pared descriptions of two spacious and splen-
did theatres, now Yearly completed, namely:
the new theatre on the site Of the Lafarge
House, and bearing the title Of the Metropoli-
tan, and the new opera house, called the Aca-
deny Of Music, in Fourteenth street and Irving
place. Both establishments contain numerous
improvements, and for capacity are unequalled
in the United States. AS the theatres Of New
York form one Of its greatest attractions, both
10 citizens and sojourners, these accounts 1ill
be found highly interesting.

from our midst AT no time during this
season have we thought that the sickness In
New York was 90 alarming as the fears Of some
would have us believe. If there wore any in
stances stal this year, they were rare where vic
Tins were attacked with the virulence and car
ried of with the rapidity that created such q
panic In every town and village in which the fell
destroyer took up his abode In other times We
believe, too, that In almost every case Of
Asiatjc cholera that has occurred within this
city, the patients sufferings or death have been
traced to sme imprudenoe- eating unripe
fruit, exposure 70 the weather, Or what Il ina

have come to our knowledge; out of some four
hundred passengers detained by the captains
Of the two steamers, several others have doubt
less been as seriously aggrieved.
We learn, however, that the matter Is not
going to rest here The indignant pas
sengcrs have called a meeting to be held
this evening at 8 o'clock at the Astor House, to
take the rnbject into consideration and espe-
.cially 10 discuss the expediency of holding the
proprietors of the line responsible In damages
for their detention. We trust there will be q
full attendance The point oflaw, as We take it,
is quite clear. It has already been decided
If we remember right, In an analogous case, that
. passenger boat has not the right to tow, when
the time Of her voyage Is increased and her
passengers detained thereby. Such an act is .
clear violation of the implied contract with her
passengers involved in the payment Of the pas
sage money. There can, therefore, we should
think, be little doubt that the damages suffered
by the passengers Of the Troy and Hendrix
Hudson in consequence Of the detention can be
recovered from the owners Of those boats.
But the injured parties should not remain
satisfied with this. A full exposition Of the cir
cumstances, placing the conduct Of the two
steamboat captains in . strong light, and cha
racterizing IL as It deserves, is due to the ira
yelling community. Too long have these river
boats been source Of constant complaint and
annoy ance. Constantly within the past year or
two. have we had angry communications CON-
planning OF some stretch Of authority or wilful
annoyance or imposition practised by the en-
ployks Of boats on travellers. 1t Ia time that
steps should be taken 70 rectify this state Of
