EMIGRATION TO AxkRIcA.-The Hamburg
correspondent Of the Augsburg Alleme inc
Zeitung, April l4th, writes
A large number Of emigrants to America
amounting to eleven hundred persons, are
now in our city. They present curious ap-
pearance, and their national costumes are
sometimes singular enough. Most of them
are from the interior Of Germany. Several
hundred yesterday visited the Baptist church,
whence each Of them brought small pam
phlet in his hand.
The opening Of the direct line of screw
steamers between Hamburg and New York
will take place on the LIST Of June next, and
the screw steamer s.Borussia' will be start
ed. She will be followed by the screw steam
ship "Hammonia." They are both built of
iron, and were employed by the English in
the last war as transport ships. Regularly
on the first Of each month one Of these steam,
ships will leave for New York. The price Of
passage, considering the splendid accommo-
dations, is very cheap being for the first
cabin about 500, for the second $50, and $50
in the steerage. 1t is believed that the voy-
age will be accomplished in about sixteen or
seventeen days
