21.  The  Irish  emigrants  are  still  detained  as  under  quarantine.
The  intercourse  of  the  inhabitants  is  interdicted.  They  complain
of  hard  treatment  from  the  Captain,  but  their  general  health  ft
the  loss  of  only  three  very  young  children  speak  that  they  were
unacquainted  with  the  restraints  ft  the  irksomeness  incident  U>  ship-
board than  any  real  injuries  they  received.  It  is  said  they  refuse
to  finish  the  voyage  with  him,  tiiat  they  blame  his  entrance  into
any  port  but  of  New  York,  while  the  Vessel  was  cleared  for  a
British  Colony,  ft  they  required  him  to  stop  for  supplies.  Upon
the  whole  it  is  a  novel  sight  with  us  tho  the  general  appearance  ia
in  favour  of  the  Emigrants.
22.  I  have  now  finished  sixty  years  of  life.  Was  in  the  XT.  S.
boat  in  the  harbour  ft  offing.  Found  the  emigrants  fishing  at
every  rock  ft  the  women  busy  at  their  washings.  All  seemed  to  be
busy.  Our  Essex  Bank  Incorporation,  which  ends  in  July,  have
chosen  new  directors.  They  have  been  severe  upon  each  other.
