ON the Wharves.
The summer exodus to Europe stin continues.
The following steamers sailed yesterday, vlz:-City
OF Montreal and City OF Canada, for Liverpool
Columbia, for Glasgow; Bremen, for Bremen
Arragon, for Bristol, and Algeria for Liverpool
each OF which carried about six hundred pas
sengers on board.
The steady prevalence of the heated term seems
TO have induced many to make change Of climate
whether they be determined to support the old
classical precept or not-"CtElunp nautant non ant
mum gut transmGre csy7unt" The change Of
places, however, seldom Affects the vigorous tenn
permanent OF the American mind. Every
climate ia c0ngenial to the man Of enterprise, and
he travels to become more enterprising, as well as
to repair his physical and intellectual wants.
The interesting scenes to be witnessed at the
different piers from which European steamers take
their departure daily and semi-weekly give evi.
dences Of this growing eagerness OF most Of the
wealthy classes of the country to visit the Eastern
Hemisphere. Yesterday, from eleven O'Clock A. M.
until half past four O'Clock P. NJ the wharves from
when the above foreign steamers were to have
sailed were thronged by the intended passengers
and their friends. The emigrants were generally
OF the well-tO-dO portion OF the community,
the slackening of whose purses could be scarcely
noticed. There were many, however, who evi-
IDENTITY went ITO breathe their native air once
moren who could not perhaps claim alliance with
the fashionable and the aristOcratic. Young ladies'
wiped their eyes while their farewell words were
spoken and their farewell gestures made to their
parents, friends and acquaintance The thrOng-
Ing and BUSTING OF cartmen, expressmen &c.,
showed the large amount OF luggage to be put on
board, while the continual parading Of interesting
spectators on the piers and on board the steamers
betOkened no small amount Of anxiety and excite
ment. The City OF Montreal LETT from pier No
49, with the largest number OF passengers. The
pier was densely crowded by the friends Of all
French, Italian, English and Irish. The City Of
Canada started from pier A. at four O'Clock p. NJ,
with over five hundred passengers on board, about
ninety OF whom were cabin passengers. The
thrOng around this pier was not 30 large as might
have been expected, but the anxiety and excite
ment manifested were exceedingly intense. A
number of young men stood erect on the upper
deck and sang as the steamship moved from the
wharf, while their friends on the pier waved afrec-
tOnate adIeus Similar scenes could be noticed by
the keen observer at the other steamship sta
t0ns where an equal amount or feeling was dis
played. This desire for travel Is becoming more
general also among the studOus classes. all of
whom believe It matter OF necessity to visit the
shrines OF antiquity and the sanctuares OF learn
ing in the Eastern Hemisphere. Hence large
number Of male and female students can always be
noticed on those summer transatlantic trips, who,
doubtless, undertake perilOus voyage through
curiosity as well as through desire to improve
their future prospects.
