houses of the Norwegians are comfortable, exquisitely clean, and in most 'cade* 1 even tastefnlly decorated, their inhabitants clean, cheerful, and contented. As the result of two months' work, the Norwegian party have paid their store account for their two months' supplies, in full, and they have to draw for one month's work besides, which will pro bably, most of it, be paid to the Government in partial liquidation of their debt for pas sage, &o. The fanes, on the other side of the street, are comparatively poorly housed ; there is no sign of comfort or thrift about their rooms, — their hausts and persons aie filthy. They are heavily in debt to the store keeper, and. though they have hacl per Lead nearly fifty per cent, more food supplied than the Norwegians, they complain that they are not allowed to run more heavily into debt. Having in view the additional diffi culty which must result to the Government in re-couping itself advances for passages, &c, made to the latter class of men, and fear that a large nnmber of them will merge into the "loafing" element oi the com muniby, I desire to suggest the desirability of encouraging the Norwegian and discourag ing tl.e Danish immigration as far as possi ble, and of exercising a far more stringent supervision over the selection of the latter immigrants than have been obtained in the case of the two shipments already made. I desire to point out that the mixed emigra tion of Norwegians and Danes, is a mistake, in consequence of the existence of a very bitter national feeling of animosity between them, which prevents their co-operating in anything, however much it might be to their mutual advantage to work together."
