sign to burn the barracks, as they intended

IIIsu IMMIGRANrs-ToUcH ScENE.-
The warm heartedness of the Irish people is
touchingly illustrated a. times, especially on
the arrival of immigrant ships from across
the Atlantic. The Philadelphia Gazette, no.
ticing the arrived at that pGrtoD Tuesday Of
the ship Tonawanda, from. Liverpool, with
AL passengers, principally Irish immigrants,
notes the following affecting scenes:
Upon the dock there must have been sew
eral hundred people, friends and relatives Of
those now for the first me touching Ameri-
can soil. To describe what followed passes
our powers. In the crowd were servant girls
by the dozen, who, by their scanty earnings,
had saved the money by which was paid the
passage Of no ineonsiderable number of those
who now descended from the deck of the
Tonawanda to the dust Of Walnut street
dock. Among those whom we saw in the
crowd was deaf and dumb man. lie had
come to meet widowed sister with several
children, lie waited. with feelings under
control. until he saw the woman over the
ships side good natured fellow passenger
helping the children after her. lie made Il
rush at her took her in his arms, mumbled
inarticulateo' sounds, and then gave express
ion to his feelings by lying on his back and
kicking upwards in very joy. He sprang up
in moment or two and went to. the children.
The youngest one he stood on its head against
4 warf post and was about to tess another in
the air in the exuberGnce Of his joy, when an
officer restored him to his wits by tearing of
part of his coat collar.
There was a girl who had brought out
from Tipperary an old mother. At the JOY
of seeing her the daughter tainted, and was
carried to the Ridgway House for restoration.
Excessive Joy affected her as the opposite ex-
treme-excessiye grief. Her transport had
almost proved to be productive of serious
consequences.
People who dishonor the fourth comma nd
ment should witnsss the handing from an an-
igrant ship of concourse OF the Irish peas
antry. If they knew the manner in which
most of the passages of such people are paid
by the slowly accumulated savings of la
borers, male and female-they perhaps
would learn lesson not always to be learn
ed in the higher walks of life.
