The land owned by the city at South Boston, and on the Neck, presents good locations for dwellings, and the price at which it is held affords excellent opportunity for a safe investment. The city author- ities have manifested a commendable public spirit in laying out streets and squares on the Neck ; and that the interests of the city will be essentially promoted by the liberal course which they have pursued, is already shown by the many beautiful and costly dwellings which have lately been erected, and by the rapid increase of native population, in that part of the city. At South Boston, East Bos- ton, and on the Neck, land enough is to be obtained, and at prices more reasonable and safe than out of town lots.

REGULATIONS.
The laws of 1848 and 1850, in relation to Alien Passengers, being somewhat stringent in their oper- ation, the last Legislature deemed it advisable to change or modify some of their provisions for the better protection of the Commonwealth. The following amendment was made concerning Alien Pas- sen gers.
The fifth section of the act entitled " An Act concerning Alien Passengers," approved on the tenth day of May in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, is hereby amended so as to read as follows :
If on examination there shall be found among said passengers any lunatic, idiotic, deaf and dumb, blind, or maimed person, no such person shall be permitted to land until the master, owner, consignee, or agent of such vessel shall make and deliver to said Superintendent a bond to the Commonwealth, with satisfactory sureties in the sum of one thousand dollars, conditioned that such passengers shall not within ten years from the date of said bond, become a city, town, or State charge within this Com- monwealth. And in respect to every other of said passengers, the said Superintendent, before he shall be permitted to land, shall require a bond, secured as aforesaid, in the sum of three hundred dol- lars, conditioned that such person shall not become a charge as aforesaid within five years from the date of said bond ; provided, however, that in lieu of the bond lastly above-mentioned the said Super- intendent may receive from said master, owner, consignee or agent, such sum as in his judgment shall be sufficient to cover the risk incurred by the Commonwealth in permitting such passenger to be landed; and thereupon permit such passengers to be landed, provided that the sum so to be paid shall in no case be less than two dollars ; and the names of all such passengers shall be certified by said Superintendent on the back of the report ; and provided further, that if any passengers so arriving as aforesaid are so sick or destitute as to require relief, and if said master shall refuse to report them, or if said master, owner, consignee or agent shall refuse to give such bond as is herein required, the said Superintendent may permit them to be landed, and in such cases any city or town that shall be put to any expense for the support, sickness, or burial of any such passenger, within ten years of the time he has so landed, may maintain an action of debt against said master, owner, consignee, or agent, and recover all expenses incurred as aforesaid; and said commanding officer, owner, consignee, or agent, shall be liable to the penalties provided in the tenth section of this act.
Masters shall, within twenty-four hours after arrival, furnish to the Superintendent a list of the names, sex, occupation, condition, &c., of each passenger. No passenger shall be landed until such report shall have been made, and the proper examination made by the Superintendent.
Pilots and Masters of Vessels arriving with steerage passengers from Europe, are to anchor snch vessels to the southwest side of Deer Island, until an inspection is made, and a permit given. No persons, except those allowed by law, will be permitted to go on board until the vessel is fully dis- charged by the proper officers.
Vessels arriving from any other ports with Alien Passengers on board must anchor to the eastward of the lines prescribed for the regulation of Boston Harbor, and there wait an inspection.
Masters of Vessels will greatly facilitate business by having a correct list of all the passengers before their arrival in port.
ALIEN PASSENGERS AND STATE PAUPERS.
An Act to appoint a Board of Commissioners in relation to Alien Passengers and State Paupers tas passed by the Legislature, 1851, which contained the following sections :
Sacz. 1. The Governor and Council sball, in the month of January, annually, appoint a member of the Council, who, with the Auditor of Accounts of the Commonwealth, and the Superintendent of Allen Passengers for the city of Boston, shall constitute a Board of Commissioners to superintend the execution of such laws as are now in force, or may here- after be enacted in relation to the introduction of Aliens into this Commonwealth, and the support of State Puapers therein.
Szcz. 2. The Commissioners shall have authority to appoint one or more persons, whose duty it shall be to visit, at least once in every year, all the almshouses or places in the Commonwealth, where State Paupers are supported, and wcertain. from actual examination and inquiry, whether the laws in respect to such Paupers are properly regarded, particularly in relation to such as are able to labor, or are but partially supported by the respective cities and towns; wod, in case any infractions of the laws are discovered, make immediate report thereof to the Commissioners, who shall examine and decide upon all such cases, and thereupon notify the Auditor of Accounts. The Commissioners shall also give such directions as will insure correctness in the returns now required to be made in relation to Paupers, and may the such means as are necessary to collect all desired information in relation to their support.
SECT. 5. Any allens or other persons who shall be brought into this Commonwealth as above specified, shall, if they fall sick, or from any cause become a public charge within one year after coming into the Commonwealth, be supported, so long as necessary, at the expense of said corporation or party by whose means they were brought into the Common- wealth, in the same manner as is now provided in regard to Allen Passengers by water; provided, however, that the party liable for support shall be notified of his liability, in any particular case, as soon as practicable, in order that he may, if so disposed, provide for other means of support or removal.
SuCT. 6. The Commissioners shall annually, in the month of January, make a report of their doings to the Governor and Council, and shall therein make such suggestions in relation to the present or other plans for the support of Pau- pers, as may occur to them.
The undersigned, Commissioners authorized by law to carry the foregoing act into effect, respectfully give notice that the same will be enforced on and after June 23, 1851.
Every person or corporation bringing Aliens into the State, by railroad or other conveyances, as contemplated by the law in question, is requested to notice said law and comply with its provisions.
