From the New York Evening Postl
With the opening of the summer a strong tide of
immigration is again setting towards the United
States. The German element is stayed in its pas,
sage through England by the order in council,
which imposes restrictions in consequence of the
appearance of cholera on board the emigrant ships
at Liverpool but the Irish, the Scotch and a few
English are finding their way across the Atlantic.
The Scandinavian immigration is also rapidly
increasing. A large company of Norwegians and
Danes have just arrivedin Wisconsin, and the local
journals warmly praise the sobriety and thrift
which characterize them.
The scandinavian and German immigrants come
here with some means and the inclination to make
settlements in the unimproved sections of the
country. Their money, carefully boarded during
years OF diiigent industry at hOme is usually sGi
cient to procure for them the lands, implements of
husbandry, tools of trade and necessaries of life
demanded by their new circumstances. Bringing
with them the willing hearts and steady habits
which have placed them above want, they add
desirable element to our population.
The expected arrival of large Mormon immi
grafton has already been announced. About two
thousand of the disciples of Brigham Young, CON
verted or deluded by the teachings of the willy
emissaries whom he has scattered over Europe.
are either on their way here or are preparing to
emigrate All these persons will make but brief
stay on the seaboard, and when they leave the
cities will stop at no point short of the holy place
in Utah, where, according to the latest number Of
the Deseret News, preparations have been made
for their permanent settlement. A considerable
proportion of these converts are ScandinaYlans; !;
some are English, some Dutch, They will add to
the wealth of Utah, but this does not increase the
resources Of the country at large.
@ The exodus of the Irish, increasing continually,
already stops the course of Irish industry and pro-
vokes surly comments from the English press,
The Irish immigrant, la ding here, prefers the
cities and great towns to the country, and as but
few of the enormous aggregate come provided
with savings, there is more orless of elemosynary
charity to be extended, Nevertheless, tits chiefly
from this class of immigration that our laberer

An ENGLISH NABoB.-A late London letter cor
tains the following about Earl Grosvenor, an Eng
