The renewed prosperity Of the nation, and
the harsiships Of military service in Europe,
arc regarded - the principal causes for the in
crcasing tide OF emigration which is now set
tlng toward these shores. In 1877 the number
Of immigrants who came to this country WAS
less than 10000. Last year the number
reached 457,257. OF these S27,S7l were
landed It the port Of New York. Judging
from the arrivals q Castle Garden 80 far
this year, Superintendent Jackson estimates
that the arrivals ct this port this year may reach
1000. The arrivals 1t this port for the first
fonr months Of lat year, and corresponding

Lief was confidently expressed that botl,

alition with either OF the Republican factions
that will enable them to fill vacancies occa-
stoned by the resignation Of ConklinG and

Weather for 1850.

The weather for 1850 shows 81
increase over other years in the
amount q rainfall The average
precipitation for the eight years
past was $3.50 inches, the drye.t
year being 1874, when only 25.ls
inches Of rain fell during the year
and the vettest was 1880 when the
large amount Of 1853 inches was
precipi;sted-bsing 7.3S inches in
excess Of az average for eight
years, and 1916 inches more than
the dryest year.
Bot the most surprising devis-
ton from the usual meteorological
condition Of the climate at this
place is the enormous amount Of
wind during the year Just past.
The average number Of miles for
the seven years past was 77,400
miles, while the year 1880 gave
a total wind velocity Of 90,920
miles, which IL 1880 miles more
than tbs average, and 23,74s miles
more than was registered in 1874
year on which the least wind was
recorded, and 1868 miles over or
more than the year 1876, which
was the windest year ever before
recorded previous TO 1880.
A careful perusal Of the follow
ing tables AID notes will repay one
