Emigration.—Our streets are again thronging with life, and crowds of emigrants are daily arriving, filling our hotels and places of public resort to overflowing. It is computed that on Friday and Saturday of the last week alone, not less than two thousand strangers arrived in the different boats at our wharves. Some are reloading their furniture and starting at once in caravans for the interior with their families; while others are grouped around with a pocket map of the interior in their hands, tracing their separate routes from the great rendezvous of western adventurers.
