Foreiea Enaigration.

At the meeting of the British Association,
a; Glasgow, Scotland, Mr. Newmarch read a
paper "On the emigration of the last two years
FROM the United Kingdom and from the Ger.
man Empire" Five hundred thousand had emi-
grated annually during the last five years from
Europe to America. 0 which 800 900 went
from England, and 100000 from Central Ea-
rope.
Thus it vii! be seen that on both sides of the
Atlantic it is agreed that about half a million
of foreigners are annually sent % this country,
aud that there are associations organized with
pecuniary means sufficient to send over upon
us this immense number eff emigrants Of every
variety of character and condition. A distiE-
guished British nobleman gave this country due
notice, some years ago, what would be the
what was the purpose for which they were trans
ported to this country. It will be remembered,
too, that within few weeks past the Mayor of
New York acting on the great principle of self
defence, was compelled to send back ship load
Of criminals and paupers that had been sent
over in lurtherance of the plans for which the
emigration societies in Europe have been or
ganized.
And yet with these startling facts before
/ their eyes, it is said that majority of the peo
pie of this country are willing and desirous that
this wholesale imposition on its native inhabi-
taats shaft continue without check or lbate-
ment. We know that in our own Stare the
