Enormous Emigrations I'm Steamers
fron the Mersey.
From the Liverpool Post, June7.
The emigration from the Mersey during
the past week has been of the most extern
sive character; and, has been the case for
several weeks past, the majority of the
emigrants were from the German states,
Sweden and Norway. On Tuesday last,
the Cunard company dispatched two
teamers, the Hecla, direct for New York,
with ESQ passengers, and the Siberia, with
6lO passengers, inclusive Of those which
embarked at Queenstown.
On Wednesday, the Union company's
steamer, Minnesota, left with l,07l steer
age passengers, and the National COM
pany's steamer, Pennsylvania, sailed with
l,Ol2. Both these steamers called at
Queenstown, where the latter steamer took
on board 200 more passengers, which
makes the number Of steerage passengers
on DO I'd the Pennsylvania l,2l2. On
Thursday, no less than three steamers left
Liverpool for the United States and Cam
ada; the Inman steamer, City of London,
had 500 steerage passengers, but as she
was to call at Queenstown, large add
ton would take place in the number of
emigrants to be taken to New York. The
Allen company's steamer, Germany, sailed
for Quebec and Montreal with 1914 pas
and the Prussian for the same
ports, with 953 passengers. The latter
vessel called at Grencastle, Londonderry,
where about 200 more emigrants Joined
the ship. Among the passengers by the
Prussian were GA emigrants from London,
who have been sent out under the auspi>

aged by the Hon. Mrs. Hobart, and the
Rev. Stuyman Herring, of Clerkenwell,
and similar fund got up by Miss Nc
Pherson and Miss Logan. On Friday,
another Allen steamer left Liverpool for
Quebec and Montreal, with about 800
passengers on board; and on Saturday
last the Inman steamer, City of Washing
tor, sailed from the Mersey for Halifax
and New York via Observation-Disclosures a
large number Of emigrants had been
booked for her-with 900 steerage passen-
gers. It. will thus he seen that no less
than ten steamers left the Mersey for the
United States and Canada last week, with
nearly 1880 souls on board.
A spunky wife.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Annie Osborn
appeared IN the city of Albany in search
Of RUNAWAY husband, who, according
to her story had eloped with or had been
stolen BY his own mother. 1t seems that
Mrs. Osborn senior and Mrs. Osborn jr.
could not dwell together in unity and love
under the same vine and fig tree, and the
former, having more influence over the
mind Of the son and husband than the
latter had, took him under her apron
strings and ran off with him. Annie, the
deserted wife and affectionate daughter in
law, thereupon publishes in the Knick the
following card to the public, in which
she shows that she is woman of vim and
no mistake:
Information wanted of Charles William
Osborn, who eloped with his sweet angel
Of a mother, who retains the faculty of
disturbing the peace of all with whom she
comes in contact. The lady and gentle
man who are the cause of my penning
these lines, lived at No. 267 West Thirty
Eighth street, New York, and on the l4th
day of M9, 1869, the loving couple eloped
to Albany, including a sister, named Lib
bic, black and tan dog, named Fanny.

boxes his mother could collect for years.
The gentleman who has SO deeply fallen
in love with the live stock and dead stock
above mentioned, deeply regret to say,
happens to be the husband of the much
prosecuted woman who writes these lines.

mother to wean him. His stature is five

brown hair, moustache and goatee, and is

The SOOTHING SYRuP.-Many of the
radicals of the State are very bitter tow
ard Senator Grimes, because he undertook
to allay the feeling aroused between this
country and England by the bombast OF
which Sumner delivered himself not long
since. A small radical sheet out at Knox

Senator Grimes, who is now in England,

have to say now, when they find that Mot

upon the sentiment Of Mr.. Grimes letter,
