ImmlgratiOn-CrUps.

The very great decrease of immigration to
the United States is an important fact 1t ap.
pears from unofficial reports that at the chief
places Of debarkatiOn for smigrants the number
arrived daring the first quarter of 1855 is less
than half the average of several preceding
years. Should the check which this gigantic
movement of population has experienced con-
tinue to operate for series of years, which
there is reason to expect, the morbid activity Of
our growth and expansion will cease. The
causes which have stayed this human tide are
obvious. Ireland has been emptied upon our
shores. That prolific mother has no more chill
dren for the lands Of the stranger. The war
In the East has Occasioned demand for the
materials Of which armies are made, which
more than absorbs all the surplus Of Western
and Central Europe. II has increased the wa.
ges of labor by reducing the number of labor
eFa' and added 70 the consumers Of labor's pro-
ducts. 49, eY
The scarcity and high price of provisions in
the United States is another cause of the de-
cline Of immigration. Provisions can hardly
be more difficult 70 obtain in any part Of Europe
than at the present time in this country. We
have almost reached famine prices. Twelve
dsllars barrel for Aeur, two dollars bushel
for potatoes. and oRs dollar and twenty cents Q
bushsl for Indian corn. City cents aapound fol
good butter, and one dollar . pair for small
chickens, and thirty dollars ton for hay arc

cannot pay, and which rapidly consume tht

Besides the disastrous season Of 1854, there
is one other obvious reason Of scarcity and

begun by the Mexican war. which took away
from their farms and sent To foreign country,

A SAD Casa lad, named James Dixon,
was convicted at Pittsburgh few days since.
of an attempt to fre stable. When brought
into court he asked 10 say lev words. On
leave being granted, he said he had been led
astray by siroBg inducements, such as were
calculated to bring a young person under The
influence Of evil. He then burst in tears, and
soon after contnued,--
He hoped his Honor would send him to the
House Of Refuge. He was an only child, and il
he was sent to the Penitentisry it would break
his fathers heart. He would rather spend
five years in the House of Refuge than one
month in the Peuitentisry.
The Court replied that they had many disa-
greeable things to do. The law was laid down
and it would not do to experiment on it. How
ever much the Court desired TO send him 10
the House Of Refuge. the law made it obliga-
tory upon them to pursue another. He was
not of size or frame OF mind that would be
benefited by the House Of Refuge This
place was designed for minds that had not ysI
acquired stability, and might easily be turned
into the right channel. The testimony vas
overwhelming, and was made out before th'
Houstons we're called upon the stand.
