Immigration to America

SELDOM, if ever, in our history, has such a tide of immigration set toward our shores, as is shown by the records of the past six months. During the month of May between 50,000 and 60,000 Europeans landed at Castle Garden; and in the week ending June 10, 10,036 more arrived at this port. Our European exchanges also report an almost unprecedented number of departures for America. Great Britain continues thus far to send proportionately the greatest number, but Germany, Sweden, Norway, and other continental countries, which send us the most desirable class of immigrants are fully represented among the more recent arrivals.
