A NOVEL SIGHT.

New York, October 12--A vessel has arrived at this port, with emigrants, from Norway. The vessel is very small, measuring as we understand only about 60 Norwegian lasts, or forty-five American tons, and brought forty-six passengers male and female, all bound to Ontario county, where an agent, who came over some time since, purchased a tract of land. The appearance of such a party of strangers, coming from so distant a country, and in a vessel of a size apparently ill calculated for a voyage across the Atlantic, could not but excite an unusual degree of interest. They have had a voyage of fourteen weeks: and are all in good health and spirits. An enterprise like this argues a good deal of boldness in the master of the vessel, as well as an adventurous spirit in the passengers, most of whom belong to families from the vicinity of a little town at the south western extremity of Norway, near Cape Stavanger. Those who came from the farms are dressed in coarse cloths of domestic manufacture, of a fashion different from the American: but those who inhabited the town wear calicoes, ginghams, and gay shawls, imported, we presume, from England.--The vessel is built on the model common to fishing boats on that coast, with a single mast and topsail, sloop-rigged. She passed through the English Channel, and as far south as Madeira, where she stopped three or four days, and then steered directly for New York, where she arrived with the addition of one passenger, born on the way. It is the captain's intention to remain in this country, to sell his vessel and prepare himself to navigate our waters, by entering the American Merchant service to learn the language.
