We have heard many stories told of the
sullerings Of a trip III an emigrant ship from
Europe to America, and read details of
many shocking cases Of barbarity practiced
upon the poor cmigrant by bafbarous Off
GERS of ships; but we have been furnished
the particulars, by several Germans who
arrived III this city few days ago from
Germany, of series of barbarities practic-
ed upon the passengers of the emigrant
slip Holland, Of the Liverpool and New
York Line, that exceed in infamy and out
rage anything of the kind we haze hereto
fore heard or read.
The Holland arrived at New York OH
the oath of March, after a long and bolster.
Gus trip with five hundred and fifty pas
sengcrS aboard, all cmiCrants, being at
leas; two hundred more than she had ac-
comnoIations for. A number of these
emigrants were for Louisville, where they
arrived th" latter part of the week, and
trom some of these we get these particu-
lars. Tie vessel lad been at sea but q
few days when it was discovered that the
stock Of provisions was very light. In less
than 4 week all the flour, potatoes and
other vegetables were exhausted, and the
passengers Were reduced TO Il diet of ship
biscuit and horse beef, and this of the poor
est qial!ty, and doled out in the smallest
portions.
Starvation began to stare The wretched
emlSra1ltS IN the face, although the ships
officers and crew seemed to have plenty Of
good aid healthy food. To al appeals for
a fair division Of The food among the em-
grants the officers aud crew answered only
with curses and blows. Sickness broke
out among Tie cmigrauts, and in their des-
peratlOn some OF thcm made an effort to
secure more food, hut were knocked down,
and kicked and beat by the crew. Many
Of these miserable people, men, women
and children, were exposed OH deck TO the
cold, and were badly frozen. Our infor-
mant states tllat the captain and mate of
the vessel were particularly brutal in their
cruel treatment olthe poor emigrants, and
as consequence Of all their suilerings there
was much sickness and many deaths dur
ing the trr.
70 sucl' = degree Of starvation were
these cmicrauts reduced, that when their
sCanty allowance Of food was issued to them
they had to fight for its possession, the des-
pcration Of the halt-staryed passengers, un-
| der the Hapulse OF sclt-preseryaton, lead
ing. them to try 10 take by force from the
weakest, their share Of the wretched food.
The hors3 beef, our informant states, was
absolutely hali-IOttcn, and its stencil almost
Sitting, yet the cmigrauts were forced 10
eat it to save themselves from Il horrible
death by starvation. The limbs of many
women and children, as well as a number
| OF men, were 50 severely frozen that, i'll
many cases, amPutation viii be necessary.
report ofthe suIierings Of these emigrants
was made TO the authorities at New York,
but our infoIGnauts say that no attention.
50 far as they know, WAS paid TO it. 1t is
case that requires tic most igid investi-
CATION, and II tha facts are as stated 10 us,
the captain ..at cher officers of the
| ship should be- brought TO the speediest
and scverest Observation-Disclosures Led
