Emigranfs nj Boston.

From the Boston Traveller, August TO-
For the first six months of 1865 there arrived at
this port 1927 immigrant passengers, against ii $50
during the same period last year. The total arrived
in 1904 was 1923.
But this is not the only difference. Their condi-
ton is changed in marked degree. Formerly they
went on hoaid at Liverpool in dirt and filth, the
clothes IN their backs being all they had in the
world Will, now some Of them are so neatly dressed
as to be mistaken by even Massachusetts Governor,
who lately went board to witness their disembark
much better provided with money than heretofore,
though. ii the lIish portion have superabundance,
they not in the habit of letting it be known.
FL. he last three months the Alien Commissioner
has H., found 1t necessary to send but three four
persons from tier ships to the hospital; and from
the last three ships which arrived here, not an ap
plication YVES made for assistance. The new law al
lowing the Commissioner to commute with the
shipowner for certain sum for infrm, sicky,
and physically disabled persons liable to become
a public charge, instead Of bond Of indem.
nifty also works well, for shipowner will not take
% pa senger likely to cost him much more than the
pass, &c money. But few Of the Scotch girls, of
whom so many came over last year to work in the
factciies. have arrived this year. The number Of
Swedes that have arrived this year Is only about 200;
lat year at this time nearly 500. This class always
immediately to the West More Italians than usual
have arrived this year, and all were provided with
sufficient money to pay their expenses.

nearly all of the remainder had friends in the State
who had sent for them, and they were thus scattered
over many a. fifty different towns-lowell, Law
renee, end other manufacturing places taking the
largest numter. A proof of the character Of those
lately come over is the fact, that during the last
quarter only five have been bonded as likely to be-
come Inbic charge, while in the previous quarter
there were 2i5.

law, which keeps them the other side, it would

Mr.. Rayner and MIR. Wise.

Just now, when Mr.. Wise is founderng through
an uncertain and laborious campaign in Virginia. il
may not be inappropriate to republish the eloquent
remarks Of Mr.. Rayner, in reply to the slur cast
upon good old State, several years ago, by the
Accomac politician. II strikes US that athe gen
tleman from Virginia has now the leisure to APP
ply the alusion."
Extract Of a speech delivered by Hon. Kenneth
Rayner, in the House of Representatives
My friend from Virginia, (Mr. Wise,) in the
course of his remarks, made an allusion to my
State, in reply to playful remark of my friend and
colleague, Mr.. Stanley,) which thought little
unkind, knowing, as he did, our senstiveness on
the subject He remarked, that North Carolina
had SO long followed Virginia, that she now felt
like an apprentice just set free. Sir, North Caro-
lima needs no defender here; and If she did, she
would be unfortunate in having no ADLER advocate
than myself She disregards the reproaches and
vauntings of her northern and southern neighbors.
She stands not still, while the rest Of the Union
is marching in the of prosperity and i'm
provement, to deal with the vague distractions of
the one, nor does she run mad after the Wild va
carries of the other. But there she rests calm us
the surface of her eastern bays, yet firm and
mistaken as her western hills. 1t is sufficient
compliment to her to say, that while on the North
and on the South of her, the spirit of reform has
been unable TO contend with the Demon of faction
on entering her borders the flag of constitutions
freedom is seen floating in triumph from her At
lantic beach to her mountain tops. She reposei
not idly on the fame of her ancestors she BOATS
not vainly of their former renown; and If she has
not as many bright names to adorn her history,
she 10 at least saved the disgrace of violating their
dying precepts, and Of dishonoring their shades.
Let It be recollected, that Athens was once the
proudest and noblest State Of Greece. Yet in
process Of time, she the first to surrender her
freedom to the golden brides of Philip; whilst the
Thebans, who had once been the objects of her
persisted nobly on the field Of Cheronea
with the expiring liberties of Greece. The gentle
man from Virginia may take the allusion and apply

of living here. just about five o'clock every even

be In the street, you win SOC large number Of
men going hither and thither with huge tin boxes
upon their heads. Everybody dimes about this
hour, and these boxes, which are some three or
four feet square, contain the dinners Of the float
ing population OF Rome.
There are several establishments which makes
business OF furnishing them at any cost and IN any
variety, and send them far and near supplied with
some apparatus for keeping them warm. Even
those who are most permanently at home ind 1t
much more convenient TO live in this way, and thus
avoid many of the annoyances while having the
comforts of housekeeping. II is quite an amusing
