GREAT INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION-SUDDEN
ADDITION TO THE national WEALTH.-There
arrived yesterday at this port BIZ immigrants,
men, women, and children, all of them from
Northern Europe, and all of them belonging to
the laboring classes, who are accustomed to
hard work and frugal living They were
ing American. They are not mere birds of
passage, who come here to tarry while and
then fit back to their own homes, but they have
brought their household goods and gods with
them, and will here make their abodes. The
greater part of them start Immediately for the
West, and many of them will assist at the gath
erng of the next harvest.
Now, I a newly-imported African, who is ut
terly ignorant of all the arts of civilized lfe
who cannot understand a word of English is
worth to a Georgia planter five hundred dollars,
these intelligent, hard-working mechanics and
farmers, who Will require no overseer or in
structor, and whose services can be made i'm
mediately available, must be worth to them
selves at least double that amount so that the
actual addition made to thewealth of the country
by their arrival may be estimated at $3,7l I, 900
The only drawback to this estimate is, that some
seven hundred of the numb Der are deluded pros
elyteS of Mormonism, and are destined to in
crease the population of Salt Lake city, About
three thousand more Immigrants are now on their
way to this port from Liverpool; the emigra
ton from Liverpool, Bremen, and Havre. is
much greater this spring than it has been be-
fore in two years. There will be plenty of work
for them all when they arrive, if they come pre-.
pared with means to take them to the grain
producing region of the West--N. T. Times of

THE OBERLIN CASES. Sentence has been
passed upon Bushnell and Langston, the two
Oberlin men against whom the Judge and Dis
trict Attorney for the northern district of Ohio
have succeeded in obtaining verdicts Bushnell
was sentenced to sixty days Imprisonment, a
fine of $500, and the costs of the trial, which
must probably amount to more than double
that sum. Langston was sentenced to fine
of 800, and the costs of the trial The court
also directed the Marshal, in case he might for
any reason consider the Cleveland jail an in
secure place for the confinement of the prison
ers, to commit them TO such other Jail of the
district as he might see fit.
1t is the intention of the counsel, now that
final Judgment has been rendered in these
cases, to make new application to the Su-
preme Court of Ohio for writ of habeas cor
pus, the objection upon which the former APP
plicationwas refused having now been removed
The District Attorney, in arguing a motion
which he made for the postponement Of the other
cases till July stated that he had received notice
to that effect, and gave as one reason for the
postponement which he requested, the neces-
sity he would be under of appearing before the
Supreme Court to resist that application.
He also pleaded another duty, to which the
United States Government had directed him to
attend. Five of the witnesses on whom he
relied-the parties, namely, from whom the
rescue had been made had been arrested under
an indictment found against them for hdnap
ping. They must appear at Elyria on the 18th
instant to answer to that charge and he had
received orders from Washington to appear
and defend them. Two other of his Kentucky
witnesses, the owner of the slave rescued and
the clerk of the court by whose signature the
power of attorney had been authenticated, had
suddenly started off for Kentucky, without
giving him any notice of their departure. The
counsel for the prisoners strenuously resisted
any continuance, and insisted on their right TO
an immediate trial, especially such of them as
were in custody; but the Judge granted the
motion, and directed a continuance of the
cases to the 18th of July.-N. y. Tribune
