MORE VAGRANTs FROM EUROPE. The COM
sioners Of Emigration, we are happy to know,
are making efforts to keep European paupers
and criminals from our shores. It was stated
at the last meeting that ship had arrived that
day, named the Driver, in which were six able
bodied men, who were sent by the communes
Suspecting that they we're criminals from Hol-s
stein, they had them sent to the Mayors office
to have the matter inquired into, An effort is
also making to keep the emigrants in Europe
from the clutches of those horob them Of their
money, and deceive them in regard to the ooun-
try. They have prepared q memorial, which is
to be sent to the different governments Of Eu-
rope, asking help to protect the emigrants from
the frauds perpetrated upon them by runners
and passenger agents. A history was given Of
the efforts Of the Commission in the establish
ment of the emigrant depot, and the passage of
proper laws for their protection.
Many Of these agents. twas stated, were not
citizens, and their deeds placed them outside
the pale of all laws. The memorial was or
dered to be transmitted, and thousand copies
sent to the State Department, to be transmit
ted to every Consul in Europe. fNeF York

The case of Sir John Paul, strahan and Bates,
the defaulting bankers Of London, is known to
our readers. The disclosures ON their late
failure showed that they had disposed of secu-
rites placed on deposit in their hands, and
applied the money to their own wants. They
were arrested, tried, and have been sentenced
to fourteen years transportation. The head Of
the house, Sir John Paul, and his partners held
high position, yet English justice awarded
them no respect therefor
