We have received from the department of
State at Washington copy of report pre-
pared by the statistical bureau of that de-
partment, showing the number of passengers
arrived in the United States from foreign
countries during the year ending the 31st
December last. The authority for the state
ments are the returns Of the collectors of the
customs of all the revenue districts of the
country, and undoubtedly the information
impaired is full and accurate. The state
ments set forth the sex, age and occupation
of all the passengers arrived, together with
the country Of their birth, and the number
that have died on the voyage. The number
of passengers arrived in each year since 1S49
is also shown, as follows:

EAsTMANvILLE. MICHIGAN,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1857.
THE RED RIVER COUNTRY.

Along with the settlement of the lake Su-
perior region, the American people have turn
ed a share of their attention to the resources
and development of the Red river country.
A vast and fertile tract, although quite un-
developed, it lies spread out in all its native
beauty, an inviting field for the energy and
enterprise of northern men, whose ambition
seems to be never satisfied, and whose will
can alone call it into the manhood Of civil
cation and refinement, and people its borders
with an intelligent and happy population.
Concerning this country, well do we recol-
lect the impression made, when mere boy,
living amidst the granite hills Of New Eng
land, by reading ALEX. HENRY's adventures
at Mackinaw, St. Saint Mary, and along the
borders of lake Superior, Red river, lake
Winnipeg, Athabasca, DC. He described the
country in glowing terms; and if it deserved
this appreciation in his day what must it be
now, when the savage wildness has been par
italy converted to civilization?
Capt. KENNEDY, in letter dated, Red
River Colony, March 7, 1857, says, "the ag-
ricultural capabilities of Red river are great,
being, as | believe, one of the finest in the
world"
1t is to its nearness to Superior City, Wis.,
that the Red river people must look for its
more rapid advancement. There is road
constructed from Red river to Superior City,
and from thence to Grow Wing, on the Mis-
sissippi. 1t is said that a steamboat will be
launched in Red river this summer.
We cut from the correspondence of the
Chicago Democratic Press, the following
somewhat abbreviated report of market pri-
ces in Red river settlement:
PROVISIONS.
Beef per h. fresh, I'd. Pork, do. I'D. Mutton,
do. 2 I'D. Fowls, each, 6 to Sd. Eggs, per Dozen
Cd. Pemican, per ID. to I'D. Dried meat, Sd.
Tallow, id. Flour per cwt. lis. Cd. Wheat, per
bush 3s Cd. Barley, 2s. Sd. Oats, Is. Cd.
What would the denizens of the Grand
river valley say to such market list?
Mines of SALT sulphur, coal, copper and
magnesia abound in the entire region border
ing the shore of lake Winnipeg.
Of the fertility of the soil, the letter from
Capt. KENNEDY, above referred to, says, that
from "nine bushels of seed wheat sown on
ten acres of ground, there was raised 600
bushels, averaging from 60 to 65 lbs. to the
bushel. The land from which this was OBJ
tanned, was for the first time plowed in the
summer, then left fallow till the following
spring, when it was again plowed and there
after received its thin scattered seed, which
gave this wonderful return"

The Great Eastern Steamship---0ne Of the
Wonders of the World.

The London Morning Journal furnishes
the following description Of the enormous YES
sci, the Great Eastern, intended for Austria
liam trade:
She will carry 10000 tons Of coal, 5000
tons of merchandise, and 1000 passengers.
The object of building SO large vessel, is
the economy that will be effected by being
able to stow sufficient Goals to carry her
round the world. She will save about Co.
900 R voyage to Australia in this item, by
carrying sufficient to carry her there and back,
instead of having to coal at Australia.
There are ten bulkheads, or water-tight
compartments; and there are longitudinal
compartments, also water-tight.
This noble vessel is COS feet long, S3 feet
broad, and So feet deep, from her deck to
the floor of her hull. Her tonnage is 22,50O
tons. She will be propelled by two paddles
and a screw. The paddle wheels are fifty
five feet in diameter and the screw is TWEEN
ty-four feet in diameter. The four engines
to propel the paddle wheels, are equal to l.
$50 horse power, and the four engines to pro-
pei the screw, are equal to 100 horse pow
err. She will have five tunnels, connected to
ten boilers, and six masts, which will carry
acres of canvass.
Four of her masts will be of iron-the
two next the stern and compass to the ship,
will be of wood. Her crew consists of 500
seamen. How many boats she will have we
cannot say-but she will have abaft her pad
die box, on each side, screw steamer 100
feet long. The whole ship will be lighted
with gas. Her speed will be Is knots, equal
to III miles f9 hour; and she will 60 to
Port Philip in SO days. Some of the fore
going facts are tabulated in the following ia

We learn by the Ospego Times of May 10th,
that the schooner Norwegian, Capt. Alexander, of
the old Oswego line, arrived at Oswego on the 10th
May. from Milwaukee
She was loaded with full cargo of flour and
wheat, and was the frs: vessel in that port from
lake Michigan thisseason.
MIR. Hurd, a benevolent gentleman, of Mass,
recently deceased, bequeathed by his will, to four
Of the N. England states, viz: Maine Mass, N II.

ted, and the income applied yearly in giving prizes
to promote and encourage the manufacture and
refining of sugar within those states.
The business men of Washington, d. c., are
making up subscription of $4,000, as a reward
to any one who will ascertain the cause of the
hotel sickness. People in Washington are just
beginning to get excited about it.
Goods have been received in Grand Rapids
via the ID. & M. railway. In a short time the road
will be completed to Lyons. Ionia Co. This will
then be the most preferable route from Kent and
Ottawa counties to Detroit
Senator Sumner continues in Paris, and is
improving in health and vigor.
The Battle Creek Journal is now printed with
new type and makes neat appearance.
The Chicago Ledger says:
There never was so great a tide of travel as
now, and never before SO few stopping in Chicago.
All kinds of trade are langushing. Manufactures
are nearly at stand Money is nowhere except
at three or four per cent. month. This is mainly
attributable to the high price of lots and rents and
consequently of board. People can do much better
elsewhere"
Other places, that we know of, beside Chicago,
have injured their growth and prosperity, by a
narrow-minded policy and selfish and isolated
feeling, which is sure to operate disastrously to
those who would benefit themselves thereby.
"A new town has been projected on the great
bend of the Arkansas river, 200 miles west of
Kanzas City. About far enough west to crafty

The ceremony of laying the corner stone OF

The winter of 1779-SO was uncommonly

was distinguished by old people, in my
youthful days, as the hard winter" The
old French inhabitants told me that the snow
was from two to three feet deep in and
around ST. Louis-that it continued "long

the shelving rocks ond bluffs along the bank
of the river, and that several were killed
with dogs and clubs in attempting to escape,
