orEanIzed ImmIgrnt1on.

We have received circular from the
Boston Board of Trade, in which that as
sociation makes known that it has at
present, ga peculiarly favorable opportu-
nifty Of supplying employers in all
branches of manufactures, trade, agricul-
ture, mining and domestic service with
such help as they require, through the
agency ofa gentlemanintimatelyacq acquaint-
ed with the working classes of Grea t
Britain, in cooperation with those in
terested in promoting their welfare, and
who will personally select and bring
with him persons thoroughly qualified to
hll the situations that may be offered
| them"
| live understand the circular right,
there is at last to be established what
we have often urged, and what cannot
help but benefit the country greatly, an
organized system of immigration. Be-
gun under such respectable and respon.
sible auspices, we have no doubt con-
siderable number of our manufacturers,
as well as the prosecutors of mining en-
terprises, will avail themelves of the as
sistance of this association with out de-
lay. In that case we may hope, among
other things, for somewhat cheaper coal,
an article of consumption which threat
ems to go out of use amongst families in
moderate circumstances, unless the
monthly increase in price is stopped be-
fore long. We quote the following
words of the circular for the information
of those seeking help:
"The committee desire it to be distinct
ly understood that their object is not to
interfere with the immigration at present
in progress, but to obtain selected class
of skilled laborers, such as this immigra~
tion does not supply; neither have they
any design to interfere with the rates Of
wages which may at any time prevail.
"All.persons brought out under the
auspices of this committee will be enga-
ged for whatever term may be agreed
upon at the rate ofWages current in their
trade in this country during the period
of that engagement
employers are to deposit in advance
IN the hands OF. the committee, the amount
necessary to bring the employee from
Great Britain to this country-snd this
is to be returned by the employee in
weekly instalments out of his or her
wages. From the character of the per-
sons to be selected, and the precautions
to be observed in the selection, every
confidence may be reposed in the faithful
fulfllment of their engagements.
Distinct specifications of the number
and kind of persons wanted, with partic-
ulars as to the kind of employment they
are wished for, rates of wages, hours Of
labor, length enlargement desired, &C.,
should, be prepared as guide for the se-
lection Of suitable parties, to realize the
lexpectations of employers, and to. prevent
disappointment to the employee.
"All funds deposited will be placed on
interest until selections have been made
of workmen to be brought over, when
passage tickets will be purchased
"Parties desirous of making their re-
mittances at present rates of exchange
can have passge-tickets purchased imme
diately; those desirous of Withholding
remittances until selections of workmer
have been actually made, will have theil
orders accepted on the deposit of sun
on interest equal to the present cost o
passage.

There is little doubt but that the enter
prise above alluded to will prove just a
successful as others, organized in northern
states, that have already yielded tangibi
and highly satisfactory results. ExcePtin
the advancing of the passage money o.
labor to be performed, which will be foun
attended with occasional difficulties, thi
scheme smbodies the idea suggested b
our Commissioner of Immigration in hi
memorial to Governor BOreman, and i
his bill for the promotion Of inmigratio
as first proposed in the Legislature, bu
not passed by that body. After fou
months of active official correspondence
(. the Commissioner is confirmed in hi
= opinion, that the recruiting Of Immigrant
