OPERATIVES IMPORTED SPECIALLY.
The American Emigrant Company, under the sane
ton of the law to encourage immigration " imports
to order operatives of every description from any OF
the following countries, to wit: England Ireland
Scotland. Wales, Germany, France, Belgium Swift
erland, Norway, Sweden Denmark 1t undertakes
through its widely ramiiied system of European
agencies to exercise the utmost possible care in the
selection of the it hireS-to make the necessary
legal contract with them in their country to be
duly rathed on their arrival hereto transport them
from their homes IN Europe to New IOrk-tO deliver
them on their arrival here to the importer or hiI
Agent.
The Time necessary for the execution of an order
will depend upon the nature Of the occupation and
the nationality of the required. Orders for or
binary Mechanics Miners, Railroad and Agriculture
laborers, &c., may however be expected usually Ia
be filled from Great Britain in about two months By
steamship, and from Germany, Belgium, France
or Switzerland in about three months In
Northern Europe the time required will depend upon
the season OF the year; in the summer orders can be
filled very promptly. If operatives are ordered by
sailing SNIP 1t may be expected to occupy about oul
weeks longer than by steamer.
The EXPENSE except the fee payable to the Com
pany will be repaid by the emigrant but it will be
necessary, in giving order to import wOrkmen to
deposit with the Company sum equal to the proba-
bic amount necessary to expend in the transporta-
ton OF the persons ordered. An exact account OF
these expenses OF emigration is rendered on the de-
livery OF the immigrant, and any balance of the de-
deposit will depend upon the port of embarkatior
and the extent OF land travelling in Europe. But
as general rule, when gold is at premium of 4
per cent about so by steamship and S55 by sailing
ship will be sufficient to pay all the expenses o.
British emigrants, and to this about SIS should be
ADDED Tor EngrantS IRON any Of the ports of Cont
