News Article Regarding This Voyage
To the Editor of the Norfolk Beacon:
Gentlemen: The importance of the following information to the United 
States Government, respecting emigration, will, I trust, induce you 
to insert it, in your columns.
The ship Anacreon, from Liverpool, arrived at Norfolk on Thursday the 
17th June with one hundred and sixty eight passengers, three fourths 
of whom were English paupers, sent out by subscription from their 
different parishes; and of these three fourths, the greater part was 
from the age of fifty to sixty years, many grandfathers and mothers 
being amongst them. This is a specimen of the boasted independence of 
John Bull. England, never satisfied, envying every happier country, 
has hit upon this new experiment of raising the cry of her beggery in 
a country, where she failed in establishing her curfew bell, to regulate 
the hours of day light, or has not the gratification of seeing her 
peelers stationed in your towns, villages and upon your crossroads, 
to disturb the peace of the inhabitants and oppress the industrious 
farmer. Being delayed in Liverpool, for upwards of a month, and seeing 
the description of persons I had to travel with, I made myself as much 
acquainted with this new system as possible, from the different parish 
officers, who brought these miserable families in droves from the interior 
of the country. There was one of them, a Mr. Ludlow, from the parish of 
Lair, in Leicesterhsire, with whom I had an opportunity to conversing 
more of less every day, during my stay; for the parish officer, when he 
brings a certain number of families with him, is sure to remain until he 
sees them to sea, lest any discouragements should take place or that 
they should return to the parish; and in many instances the officer 
imposes so much on these creatures as to make them believe he is going 
to America with them to see the Government there provide for them, or 
in the event of their not being comfortably situated, to bring them 
back to England after the expiration of three months. But when he gets 
them a few miles out at sea, returns to the pilot boat, to their great 
astonishment, leaving some person to inform them they have no more 
claim on the charity of the parish after they leave the Kingdom, with 
an injunction not to return even should they get means to do so. I 
asked Mr. Ludlow if he thought it honorable, or common honesty in 
England to send her paupers to the United States, or how they would 
receive cargoes of beggars from another country; but he answered me 
that he was not an advocate for it, but there were meetings held through 
every parish in England, and they came to this resolution, that such 
is the distress of the agriculturists, from the many demands made on 
them, that they should devise some means to lighten their burdens; and 
emigration they thought, if properly carried on, would be most effectual, 
as they got shut of a pauper for four pounds, ten shillings (a sum 
sufficient to pay the passage and buy provisions forone) who might 
remain a parish change for many years.
Yours  JOHN DUGGAN,
The only Irishman who travelled by the Anacreon.
P.S. In my next letter I will give other particulars respecting 
emigration, as the subject cannot be too well known to those whose 
interest it must be to provide against the frauds.


Ship Anacreon
I found references to three ships in Lloyds Register of 1830
called Anacreon.; One of these ships belonged to the port of 
Liverpool and its destined voyage is listed as Virginia.  It was a 
copper-sheathed ship built in New Brunswick, Canada, in 1824 by 
Robert Ellis.  It was 427 tonnes and in 1830 was owned by Evans; Co.;
The captain is listed as J. Lenox. I have checked for information 
on Evans & Co., and cannot find any information on this company.
