 The Immense Emigration from
 Europe.
 Our European files received by the Europa inform us that as many as twenty-two emigrant vessels took their departure, during the month of April, from Liverpool, bound for the vari- ous ports of the United States. These twenty two vessels carried away fifteen thousand three hundred and fortyone persons. Of these, ten thousand eight hundred and eighteen were En- gllsh, two hundred and fifty-ive were Scotch, and eighteen hundred and forty-three were na- tlves ot other European countries, but the last number was made up almost entirely of Ger mans. It can be seen, by glancing at the re- turns of the ship-masters that the aggregate thousands stated before, who went to form this huge human freight, were entered as " steer age passengers" and hence may be freely re- celved by democratic people as constituting part and parcel of that class which once formed the "country's pride" of Europe. It is, how ever, significant that, notwithstanding the very paternal care of the different governm ents uu- der which they were born, the education which they received, the love of fatherIanl which binds man to the place of his birth, and the demand which now, more than ever, perhaps prevails in the Old World for the commodity of bone and SncW, so many as fifteen thousand souls should, in one month, seek home ill a foreign land, and be compelled, at the very point of harL +l,,E actual difference existing between a man and all arlstocat, by ascertanng the artificial dis5inc- tion between man iii the cabin, or one who pays and a man in the steerage or one who was never permitted to become able to pay, and whose hazardous transportation Is conducted at the instance of class supposed to be superior to that in which he was bom We m .relv mention this fact in order to illustrate position which we intend to advance, to the effect that the heart burnings of the millions in Europe cease when they reach the shore on which they pause ere they "Iy from their hearth.' and that new life, with Its reborn energy and recruited intellect, opens for them when they arrive in a new land, where they are received with hear ty welcome by fellow men.
 If viewed in any other light, the emigration for the past month might be attributed to incl
 
 the United Kingdom, the more improved sani- tary regulations observed in emigrant ships, or the doubtful position which the chief German powers hold with regard to the royal and impe- rial beligerents who now court the aid of their armed subjects We find, however, that, not withstanding the severity of the winter seven- ty-two ships left Liverpool during the quarter ended on the 3lst of March last. The maio- rity were bound to the United States, and the remainder sailed for Australia. They carried away seventy eight thousand three hundred and alXty-tWO people, most of whom are already settled amongst us.
 The immense emigration of population from the one side of the Atlantic. and it's easy ab- sorption on the other are unerring evidences of the vast difference which exists between the adaptation of monarcho- o-aristocratical govern ments and those really resting on popular choice, to the perfection of human happiness Troops of persons who would have constituted an army of invasion if landed from foreign country, ill London, Paris, Vienna, St. Peters burg or Canstantinople, have been thrown on our shores during the last fortnight, and so easy Is the process of assimilation of kindred which IS progressing around us that most of them find at this moment comfortable quarters ill their so- cond home.
 During three days, counting from last Thurs day morning, we received from different Euro pean ports twenty thousand seven hundred and sixteen strangers, which accounts for the num- bers which we have already said left Liver pool, and including all who sailed from Bre- men, Antwerp Hamburg and Havre. In this concourse we have the venerable burgher of the Hanseatic Free Towns, the peasant of the a1I tbo og .I facturer and trader of England, and the hardy highlander of Scotland-with their wives, chil- dren fathers, mothers and household goods- The scenes at our harbor, and at the different railway depots in this city, on Friday and Sa- turday, were at once pleasing and sad. From Greenwitch Canal Hudson, West Broadway, Leonard and Franklin-streets, hundreds of men, women and children were from an early hour seeking means of transit either to our western settlements, or the fast improving towns which surround New York. At the depots old asso- citations were sundered, family ties were severed travellng acquaintances parted with, and each set out full of hope for that destination where they were convinced they would find home and rest. The bustling activity which pervad. ed the people, was pleasant to witness, but when we reflected that torty-tive ships lay at anchor Ao llle 4ualdllIlHe Siouilti, lIoIl WnlCn some hundreds of patients had been moved, labor ing under smallpox. cholera, ship fever, and other diseases incidental to long winter passa- ges, it considerably damped the joy which we felt at the glorious sight, and caused us fresh regret for the necessities which compelled so many to leave their homes. The appearance of the healthy treasured us, confident as we are that the temporary depression under which they labor will quickly disappear, and that in the end the mighty emigration of Europe will react for the developing of the resources of America, and thus, by communication, tend to elevate the people of the Old World by in- forming them of the rights as we'll as the duties which their friends enjoy and discharge in the New.-N F.
