Impecunious Immigrants

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The Italy from
Liverpool arrived yesterday, bringing 1852
immigrant passengers, of which nearly 500
were Italians IN an extreme state OF deSti-
tuition. The authorities at Castle Garden
are in quandary as to their disposition,
and aver that they are as a general thing
unable to earn anything after arriving, and
that at present they are without means Of
any kind. Several of the immigrants were
sent to Wards Island where they are sup
ported by the city. Other vessels are now
on the way here with large numbers of
Italians. As nearly as can be ascertained
they are led to immigrate to America by the
promises of agents of a so-called colonial
ton society. The Italian government is
also resported to be not unfaYorable to a
general exodus.
