To the sad disappointment Of a vast multitude OF
movers, the rain commenced falling this forenoon 80
freely as to wet everything exposed to its influence
such as bedding, furniture, &c, with which carts
were seen loaded in every part of the city. This
abomlnsble practice Of fixing upon a single day for

eality, when accompanied witha cold wetting spring
rain, as at present, is calculated TO destroy great

From all accounts, we are 10 receive larger ac-
cession OF emigrants from Europe the present year
than was ever known before since Columbus dis
covered the New World, All Ireland would come

sells OF any size, Irish farmers hOckng with their
families for embarkauon TO America. | learn from
one Of our most respectable merchants engaged in
the Hsyre trade that his pondents estimate the
number OF Germans 1.-THE most Of whom are farm
ers that are preparing TO leave for the United States
the present year at 10000 souls The most OF
these Will embark at Hsyre. The 81. Nicholas,
from that port, which arrived the other day. brought
out between three and four hundred Of these people
Ihey were most OF the better class OF farmers and
few, If any, were without means sufficient To carry
them direct TO the great valley Of the Mississippi.
An extensive continental house in Wall street paid
of large amount $40 900 WORTH Of drafts brought
out by these emigrants, which they had purchased
IN Europe before embarking. The drafts varied
in amount from 500 to $1,000 All such emi-
grants are heartily welcome Our cousin Germans
OF the farming class make excellent citizens, and
our country is wide enough, and its soil rich
enough, 70 hold all that may come come over for a
hundred years or so.


Ii will not be long after "Mynheer" touches the
wharyes at New York, before he will have a snug
log-cabin, perhaps, with field Of wheat and gar
den filed with onions and cabbages, on the lovely





faced sons and daughters, dressed out in "linsey-
woolsey," will soon marry, and commence other es-
adjustments Just like "Mynheer's" when 1t was
new. Their industry will augment the national
wealth. while their love Of order will give strength
to the supremacy Of the laws. Then thrice well
come to all good German farmers, say I.


| have always thought that, among other
knowledge "among men," the knowledge OF the
useful inventions has proved eminenty "usefu " The
discoveries made in arts and sciences have adyan-
ced the wealth and power Of mankind more than al
most anything else connected with his being. The
last quarter Of the eighteenth century with that por-
ton OF the nineteenth to the present day, will stand
out In the annals Of mankind the most impor-
tan in consideration of the introduction Of the spin
ming machinery Of various kinds, with the steam
engine steamboats,, printing presses, railroads, and
locomotives. These are they, and not large libra
RES, or knowledge derived from them, which have
carried mankind, in such a brief space Of time, so
far 'ahead" Of his species in all former ages. 1t was
an extension Of this species of knowledge, have
question, which Mr.. James Smithson regarded as
so important. There is nothing in a railroad or
kindred discoveries, which should have prevented
its discovery one hundred or five hundred year,
