JAMES GORDON BKNNRrT,-


SIR-It will probably be recollected BY you az
well as your readers, that in October last, re-
viewed an article on emigration in the London
Herald IN which twas stated that in Is years, from
1900 to 1916, 100000 Of emigrants had arrived In
this country, and that az consequence the country
was enriched three millions Of dollars, each paying
passenger paying one dollar hospital money, &c 1t
will also be recollected that showed by such data
as then coud obtain, that that statement could not
possibly be and that 100 600 was nearer the
ruth than 5000 O00 Ever since, have been trying
to get hold OF the official reports Of alien passen-
gers, but cannot procure them, does not appear
that any were kept al that tme or if kept were not
preserved: have also tried to procure DR.. Sey-
berts statistics, to which the London Herald fers
aslts authority for its statement Of the number OF
emlsranls; but did not procure copy OF Sryber's
statistics t to. day, (the 9Th inst) and am really
astonished At the accuracy OF my estimate Of the
number OF emigrants between 1900 and 1915 Dr.
Seybert says that the average from 1870 10 1910,
was 5000 annually-that the whole number from
l796 TO 1906, was 40 0O0 Now, If the average from
1910 to 1910 was 60OO, 1t is not probable, from
1910 TO 1915, that it was more, but more probable
lcss owing 10 the war ri 1917 occurring within that
period. Bur taking 600 as the average, that would
only make 80 900 IN ID years, instead Of 5 900 600
SO much for the honor, honesty, accuracy, &c OF
the London Herald. What good or gain II or any
other journal expects to effect by publishing false
hood and detractlon, do not understand; but this
do hope, that all attempts TO misrepresent and SLAM
y.
exposure and defeat, such as the London Hsruid
has done At the hands of JOHN MoRRIsoN.


"THE INFAMOUS FABRICATION or rnE LONDON
TIMES The London Standard expresses lis be-
let that the ''infaMous fabrication Of the London
1fmrs, OF December 4, respecting tho Corn-laws,
Was communicated 10 the "leadlDg jouruap' by Sir
Robert Peel, who sent letters to Mr Webster and
others, IN the United States by the packet OF the 4h,
Informing them of the contemplated repeal Of the
Cora-laws. The Standard lntimates that IL was
authorised 10 contradict the Times by the same au-
thorlty, and il expresses natural soreness al being
thus made, il states, to stcll lie in the words of
truth" The Sioydard's statement, if correct, Sc
riousy impugns Sir Robert PeePs veracity.
