EMIGRATION OF 1854.
DrrARrnrsr or STATE,

DEPARTMENT or STATE,
Washington, February TO- 1855.
Sin In compliance with the act Of Congress Of March
2 1872 regulating passenger ships and vessels have the
honor communicate herewith the annual OF
the number designation Of passengers arriving in TIE
United States by from foreign countries during the
year ending December 81, 1854; complied from returns
made this department by collectors of the customs
suant 10 the provisions Of said act.
In the letter which accompanied the last annual state
of passengers arriving from foreign countries it
remarked with view obvate the absence Of uniform
ity in from the collectors which that
based, and to which attributed considerable
degree of naccuracy during period of many years cir
cuar had been addressed TO those officers accompanied by
schedule for their general guidance The effect Of this
has been favorable Greater uniformity has char
acterize the returns and the country Of which the pas
sengers intend to become inhabitants and the number Of
passengers who have died the voyage have tor the first
time been furnished tabular has also been
added of all passengers arriving in the United States d
ring the last eleven years. from September 80 is43 the
earliest period when any recapulaons appended 10
the annual statement furnishing the necessary data to De-
cemher 81, 1854
The information conveyed under the heads OF occupa-
ton and country still continues some extent vague
ndefnte and it is expected that the collectors will
hereafter their conform in this regard
the recapuaton Of the statement now transmitted copy
Of which will be each Of them with that view II
is moreover desirable suggested in my last letter
this subject that the attention of collectors ut frontier
cnstom-honses especially the northern border should
be directed to immigrants entering the country BY land
The act of 1919, by which immigration returns nov
controlled, contemplate only those passengers
arriving by sea- If this construction is deemed correct
an amendment of that act is demanded
