EMIGRATION.--We have received a long letter form Elder A. [Anders] [C.] Christensen, who went out in charge of the Saints on board the packetship Consignment, which we have not space to publish entire, but from which we learn they had a safe and pleasant passage and no accident, with the exception of running into a French fishing smack. The Consignment sustained no serious injury, however, from this collision, and the fog was so thick that it was impossible to ascertain whether the smack was materially injured, as she disappeared almost instantly from sight. Elder C. [Christensen] speaks very highly of Captain Tukey, who, with his officers, did all in their power to make the Saints comfortable and the passage an agreeable one. As our readers are already advised, this ship arrived at New York on the 20th ultimo. . . . [p.491]
