Call baa a New Yurk letter cl Ooto
4)or8lb,l which contains the following
particulars of Mr. Mercer's parly A
female emigrants:
A Thousand Milliners Wanted was
the title of a iuroe in which Burton
used to personate a huge lady and
awaken the most extravagant a p.
plauHe. The Honorable Mr. Mercer
of Washington Territory, is doing tip
something like tho sumo farce here.
Ho bus got tbo steamer Continental at
Fier No. 13, North ilivor, where she
is taking in coal, provisions, water,
, etc, for u voyage to tbo Pacifio Coast,
via Magellan Straits, justead ot round
Cape Horn, uud be proposes to take
a thousand young Isadies out with him
to seek their fortunes " in the laud
of Ophir." I'm not jesting. Seven
hundred women have already engag
ed passage, and the remaining three
hundred uro expected to be forthcom
ing in good time, for although the
. Btoamer was to have loft yeHterd.iy, I
don't think she will depart for a
week yet. All these one thousand
ladies will want husbands; so look
out for the syrens. They are piirtnor
less, and they will each have a pair of
sheep's ey s to throw at the wifeless.
The price of passago out, to common
folks, is iwo hundred dollars on board
the Continental, but these spinsters
and widows (tor tho fair emiyrees be
long to both clas8e)aro only charged
twenty-five dollars each, and find
their own bedding. Those who uro
eligible and worthy, (are good-looking
and industrious,) but have no
monoy, are taken out on credit, giv
ing bonds to pay as soon as they earn
eutlieicnt. All are guaranteed lour
dollars a week wages, paid in gold,
when they arrive out, but at wbut
species of labor 1 cuunot discover.
They have only Mr. Mercer's charac
ter and word for it that tbey will not
be left to starve if they do not submit,
in that distant region, to earn a sub
sistence by debauchery. I went on
board the steamer on Saturday and
eaw tho crowd of women j most of
tbem are from Bixteen to 'twenty
years of age, though some, especially
the widows, 'run up to twenty-five or
thirty. Tho majority uro from Bos
ton, Lowell, and other Eastern towns,
and rumor says not u few of'them
leavo inodorous names behind them.
- Of those from this city, 1 understand
that several have ben of indifferent
ohuraoter, and the Magdalen Society
is trying to ship off a number ot re
formed nymphs du pave us models of
purity and perfection. I trust they
will prove worthy of their new char
acters when they get to their destina
tion. But such a Tower f Babel as
this uteumer is, with all these women
on board 1 Such a confusion of tongues I
Such tering I Such shrieking I
Such oiling I And such coquet
ting I i they can't help it, poor
things I Tho men will bung round the
ship to pee the curiosities, and tho
girls can't avoid kissing their hands
to them, waving their handkerchiefs,
and otherwise displaying their affec
tionate natures. Indeed 1 was eyewit
noss to two or three love-passages on
board, which took pluoo when tho
perforators fancied no ouo was looking;
for human nature is human nature, all
. the world over. Somehow, I pity
these women. -1 ho farce ot A Ihow
sand Millineit Wanted ends comically.
How will this one end f Somehow,
I think the steamer will never arrive
out. A bad season of tho year is an
proacbing. The strait of Mugellen is
a dangerous place. Will the vessel
go through in safety? Or will she
B . . t i i i - . i
lounuer wun ner iouu vi uumuniiy
and fill the sea with mairmaids here
after in that direction? That's the
question. Some of theso fair adven
turers are very pretty. Some oro real
ly quite handsome- None of tbem
are decidedly plain. The homeliest
have charming figures, scft, voioos,
and gentle, winning, manners. It
tbey ever get over to your side of the
continent, take my word for it, there
will be an excitement among the mas
culiues.
