INTERESTING EMIGRATION
STATISTICS.

twas the habit OF Know Notlinn
canvass'ers and journalists, pending
the late election, while depicting the
dlrcful evils of foreign migration, to
declare that inasmuch as the number
OF aliens who reached our shores in
1854 amounted to $4,000, (solne'' OF
them placed the figures as high as
9oo,O0W the number would not be
less than half million in 1855. We
have from time to time published in
tcrcsting and authentic data on eini-
grafton, showing the unreliability of
Know Nothing calculations upon this
subject, and how unnecessary and
absurd was the alarm suddenly expc-
rlenced, or pretended to be experien
ced, by the politicians and place hun
tiers who expected to be profited By
the BuntIinc humbug.
We have now before us, and here
with append, for the information of
our readers, the report ofthe Commis-
sioner of Emigration for the port of
New York, presenting a statement of
the number of alien Passengers who
in that city in 1855, compared
with the result Of 1854 at the same /,
