To whatsoever cause, out of the many that have been pat forward, we attribute the Irish exodus, it will at least be satisfactory to all to find that it is somewhat checked. A return issued yesterday gives the numbers of emigrants in 1863 and 1864, and from this document we learn that the total in the latter year was 114,903, against 117,820 in the former. Of the number last year 61,690, or somewhat more than a half, were male; and the gre►t majority, amounting to 72,207, or 63 per cent., were in the prime of life, being between the ages of 15 and 35. The most common age may indeed be still further limited, for 44,134, or 38 per cent of the whole emigrants, were between the ages of 15 and 25. It almost follows as a oonsequen&3 that there were I not a large number of persons with families in chided among the self-made exiles, and we find, in fact, that only 8,870 children under the age of 15 were taken out, while under 14,000 were above the age of 35. These figures point out pretty clearly the character of the exodus. It is a departure of the young, active, and unburdened, of those who have strength and energy to push their way, and who have few ties to bind them to their native soil And it is satisfactory also that among these the proportion of women is very slightly less than that of men ; satisfactory both for the sake of the country to which they go and for their own sake, that they are not left at home to cause those evils which are the inevitable result of a redundancy of the female population in any country. And certainly this fact may also be taken, in default for the present of any returns u to the countries to which the emigration was chiefly directed, ea evidence that at least it was the result of causes arising in Ireland, and not of bounties offered for enlistment for Federal armies, since it will hardly be asserted by the firmest believers in the recruit ing of American forces by Irish emigrants that the Irish young women are enticed away by the same inducements. It is not, however, because of any belief that the exodus has been in itself an evil that we think the partial staunching of the flow is matter for con gratulation. No one can say with truth that labour woe too scarce in Ireland, so that the dimi nution of its supply was an injury to the country. The very opposite is notoriously the fact. Its re- ' dundancy was a harden, reducing indeed wages, but augmenting pauperism to an extent which made it almost a prohibitory tax on capital, and at the same time rendering the possession of a bit of land so pracious as really to lie at the root of those agrarian outrages on person and property which drove capital away. Nor has the removal of so considerable a proportion of the population as yet had the effect of rendering labour too dear. But it must have had the eflect of making it dearer than it would otherwise have been, and those who utter dismal lamentations over the de parture of the people from tile, home of their fathers should remember that the 60,000 young men and 50,000 young women who list year sailed from the shores of Ireland are not only where they may earn a rate of wages such as they could never have reached in Ireland, but are indirectly enabling those who stay behind to better their position by the diminution of competi tion. If, then, the number who are induced to seek their fortunes abroad is this year lees tb.in it has been, it is • proof, not that the need for a remedy so sharp never existed, but that the remedy must be beginning to work the cure. The proportion between the comfort to be enjoyed "i Ireland, and that to be achieved abroad, must be beginning to be a little more equalized. When this result bezonies more decided we may be very sure that we shall cease to see evidence of any wish to leave Ireland for other countries. It is also satisfactory to find in the agricultural returns of the extent of land under crop, and the average produce in 1863 and 1864, which are contained in the same document, that the emigra tion had had no appreciable effect in throwing land out of cultivation, or in diminishing the profits made by farming. On the whole there were 12,421 acres under cultivation in 1864 more than in 1863. There was an increase of 16,172 acres in land under wheat, of 16,310 under potatoes, and of 87,594 under flax, balanced by a diminution of 138,997 under oats, and 14,081 under turnips. The crops on the whole were pretty much the same as regards quantity per acre. Wheat, mita, and turnips were a fraction worse, potatoes a little better, and flax 3 per cent. better. But in looking back for a period of thir teen years, for which the tables furnish a comparison, there is ample proof that Ireland is not a retrograde country. The acreage under wheat has indeed fallen from 504,248 in 1851 to 276,483 in 1864, but then it was only 328,896 in 1853, a fact which shows that the fluctuation, are de pendent on price, and not on cultivation. The acreage under oats has fallen from 2,189,775 to 1,814,886 ; under barley, from 282,617 to 172,700 ; but then it has risen in the case of potatoes from 868,501 to 1,039,724; of flax, from 140,536 to 301,693 ; and of bay, from 1,246,408 to 1,609,569. It may be doubted whether, if we pursued agricultural all this country, we should sot find that inflames of recent seseeas and priev. portion of land her been turned into tial has been the case in Ireland. .ii to remembered that that country has theriMit had to struggle with low prima, but with excep tionally bed harvests even when ours have been fairly good. Thin in 1861 and 1862 the average redoes of wheat per acre, which last year was 18.3 cwt., was only from 8 to 9 cwt. Oats ware then only 10 to 11 cwt., the usual average being 12 to 13 ; barley warn 12 to 13 cwt. instead of lb or 16 ; potatoes yielded only a ton and a half instead of tour or five ; flax only 24 stone, while last year it gave 34. In the scarcity and hardships resulting from these exceed ingly bad crops may be reed the true reason of Irish emigration in the years that followed them., But in the fact that they have not had the effect of throwing land out of cultivation, and that, as a consequence of better harvests in the two years that anteceded, the emigration is showing a ten- 1 dowry to diminish, we may find some promise of energy still surviving, and of the increased employ ment, better wages, and greater comforts, which will be the true causes from which • cessation of emigration is either to be looked for or wished for.

Mr. Gifford, in epodes the cue for the jury, said that the defendant was charged with publishing • libel la • pamphlet which professed to give a droriptios of the Jew usurers of the metropolis, and alleged that they were the coin of • great many young moo of fortune and expeotatioss. Ho said he did not complain of the tenor of this pamphlet, which possibly might costain • gent deal of troth, bat what he did complain of on the part of the prosecutor was that be had bees accused of these usurious pedals.

No doubt such a system wee worthy el de easestion, and it was creditable to asp eat who had bees made a victim of each trsatactioos to dessousoe It, but it ought to be done boldly and in a proper manner, end sot is the manner which had bees dose is the pretest moo, in which the names cl those whose acts mold bear lavestiga tion, and who did sot practice sock • system as that which it was attempted to expose were brought before the publie Mr. Davis, the prosecutor, he was instructed, was sot afraid to answer any _outdone that might be put to him, sad he had not the alig hted W hig against the deleadant, the only motive he bad being to altar hie character, "which was jeopardised by the/allude that had boon made by the defendant. He might say that, eilhongh the defendant was at the her, the pro secutor was the who was to take his trial to • peat extent, he was anxious to vindicate himself end would be able to establish beyond doubt that there was so foundation for the justification which the defendant bad pleaded is answer to the indictment. The oil y evidence which was added for the prosecu tion was the proof of the purchase of the pamphlet sad of its having been printed by the instructiou of the defer dant Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., in his added to the jury for the defendant, said he was not Weeded to rugged that he was juatified in classing the prosecutor with those who were genera ll y alluded to in the pamphlet, and r d ets fame be had to make on his behalf was that he merely in tended to attack • system which lad undoubtedly bad the effect of seeing a number of yams men of fortune. For merly the defendant was an °Meer in the army. He wee denuded from a noble and pliant soldier , Lord Beaks, who had been ennobled by his sovereign for his gallant add, and who by his exertions had bees the means of saving • portico of the North Americus organise to the British crown ; and although it was undoubtedly to be regretted that he should be placed at the bar of • court of justice, ha hoped he should be able to satisfy the jury that there was nothing in this traded= that in the slightest degree affected his honour or his position as • gentleman. The learned counsel then pro ceeded is state that the jury must be well aware that there was • clam of pence. b Landon and other large tows' who made it their into to temp you/ men of family and expeotatiou into their clutches, and having hut them money, they were enabled bi= means aid by adding interest end other esoneree em to the original amount, in the result to bring rub end misery upon their unhappy victims. Hundreds of peed, he said, might Dow be sees going about as the punent too mint who once had good exputsboos sad saw before them an honourable career, but all their hopes bad been blasted by the proceedings of such porous as he had doodled. The defendant, probably, had been • sufferer, by their proceedings, sod, smarting under the wrong that he had sastaited he had written this pamphlet ord in er to expert sod pot an end to the nefarious systen. He ad mitted that be had improperly introduced the same of the tor into this pamphlet, and that be was sot justified Ir=ling such practise to him, but the questios bars was whether the defendant bad been guilty of • trims, or whether he was guilty of more that as are of imprideores At the time Captain Oddness wrote this pamphlet, he entertained • bona fide belief that he woe Nelda is sending the prosecutor with the predieme to which he had referred, but be now was 'USW that be was mis taken, sad be withdrew all the imputation that were cast upon him. Under them eirrenrotaacee, he said, ha trusted the court would consider that • merely sound sentence would amply satisfy the justice of the ease. The leaned counsel then premed to comment the lag • criminal indictment, and d that if be had brought as action for libel the defasdant himself might have been examined and explained his conduct. The Recorder said that the course that bad bees taken by the defendant had very much shorted the proceedings. It was admitted that the defendant had published a libel and although justification bad bees put upon the record no attempt had been made to produce evidence to support it. The jary, after • short deliberation, eeturned • audio( of guilty, but strongly recommended the defendant to and at the mme time said they were of °pinkie tl l ial re li case ought not to have been brought into the wort. The Recorder, after emisulfing the Common ElialleA proceeded to pass judgment upon the defendant. He said that be had bees 000victed of the offence of publishing • libel upon the prosecutor, but he gathered free 1111 the facts before the court, that be was not mewed ' by any feeling of ill-will or malignity towards the pros► cuter, but that he had acted unadvisedly and bad gives credit to rumours that had Do foundation. Taking this fact into cousideralloo, and also that by the coons he had taken in pleating • justification he would have to pay all the costs of the prosecution, he thought the justice of the case would be satisfied by his ordering him to pay a fine of 201. to the Queen. There was • burst of applause when the sentence was de livered. Mr. Gaud said be thought it right to state on behalf of the prosecutor, in reference to the plea of jaetilicatioo, that he had • large Dumber of witnesses in atteedanos to prove that there was not the slightest fouodation for the charges that bad been made spied him, if it bad become necessary for him to do so. With regard to the prosecutor baying instituted proceedings in a criminal court, his reason for doing so was that if he had brought a civil adios, it might have been thought that his object was to obtain damages.

General Grant's army in front of Petersburg oommenoed moving on Wednesday, their place being supplied by troops from the north side of the James River. Sheridan co-operated in the movement. An infantry column crossed Hatcher's River, on the Vaughan Road, meeting no oppo sition until within a short distance of Boylton Plank Road, where they drove back the Confe derate pickets. Griffin's division advanced up the Quaker Road, where, during the afternoon, the Confederates charged them, but were repulsed with severe law. The total Federal casualties are estimated at 260. The Federal' captured 100 Sheridan was last heard of at Dinwiddie Court House, with the supposed intention of cutting the Southaide Rail-oad. On Thursday morning Grant's army was in a line parallel with and east of Boylton Plank Road, and west of Hatcher's Run. The Confederates are believed to be in strong force near Gravelly Run. A heavy engagement is expected. On Thursday firing was heard, but it is believed that the operations have been interrupted by rain. Thomas is reported to be moving towards Lynch burg from the south-west. Shaman's army is still resting. All is quiet in their front. Southern papers claim that lohn- Mon drove Sherman from the field at Bentonville on the 21st. The total Confederate loss at Ben tonville was 2,500. Raleigh papers believe that Sherman will move towards Weldon. The Federal advance against Mobile com menced on the 17th, the troops moving from Dauphin Island to the mainland on both sides of the Bay. They commenced their march towards the city on the 18th. The navy wound co operate. Mobile Point despatches announce that Moore's brigade landed neer Navy Corson the 22nd, and drove a portion of Gardner's command four miles. The Confederate, being reinforced from Mobile, Moore fell back without loss, having ob tained his object, which was a reconnaissance. Every preparation was made for heavy fighting. Heavy artillery firing was beard on the 21st. Mobile is provisioned for a tic months' siege. President Lincoln and Mr. Seward are still at City Point. There is no further development of peace rumours. The Spanish and British Ministers accompanied Mr. Seward to City Point. General Thomas has joined Gillem at Knoxville and moved in the direction of Virginia. He has now reached Greenville, and is building a railroad in his rear, keeping up a communication with Knoxville. The object of the expedition is be lieved to be to bold South-western Virginia and to move on and capture Lynchburg. The Confederates have repulsed the demonstra tion by Griersou's cavalry against Tapello, Missis sippi, Griersou retreating towards Memphir. The Federal' have burned and evacuated Dalton, Georgia. The Confederates in Texas are reported to be preparing a movement to seize and hold Arizona, open a route to California, and enable the Cali fornians to aid the Texans. The New York Herald states that General Slaughter, oommanding at Brownville, requested an interview with General Wallace, who was visit ing Matamoras. The result of the interview was that Wallace sent despatches to New Orleans, with directions to the bearer to land at Galveston on his return. This was supposed to indicate an inten tion on the part of Texas to declare itself indepen dent of the Southern Confederacy. The British brig Goldhunter has been wrecked. The crew were saved.

Three out of the four ministers selected to proceed to England to confer with the home government on the crisis that has arisen in Cana dian affairs declined un various grounds to accept the mission. Only Mr. Cartier Attorney-General East (and in the French Canadian interest) consented. The executive are in a diffi culty. A week or two must now elapse before further arrangements can be made. Parliament having been prematurely prorogued to allow of delegates proceeding to Europe, renders the position of the administration the more embarrassing. A very critical period has arrived for this country. The cry of "annexation" is again being mined, It is thought by some members of the Canadian government that the report of the dele- gates upon their return from England, will decide the fate of this portion of the empire. The public mind is very anxious and unsettled. It is stated that a large trade in smuggled goods is being carried on between this province and the district of Buffalo, notwithstanding the revival by the Federal authorities of the provisioni of the revenue law of 1799. The total loans made to Lower Canada munici palities amount to 2,428,540 dole. The total pay ments made thereupon to government, which had EXPRESS FROM PARIS (111011 01711 owl PARIS. Mornay Evisntor While writing I hear that something, if not merl ons at least exciting, has oxurred in the Co r p s Legislatif this afternoon. On the adjourned de bate on the ultramontane question brought forward by M. Gueroult, the majority raised loud cries of "IA cloture ! la cloture ! " President Schneider, upon a show of hands declared the debate at end ; and, thereupon, }LGarnier Paghs exclaimed, "Dis cussion is stifled !" M. Schneider said, "You cannot be permitted thus to speak of the decision of the majority." MIL Pelletan and Jules Favre then said something to the effect that the opposition was coerced, and would not vote. The whole of the left then quitted the house en moue, and the para graph of the address to which M. Gueronlt's amend ment was prepared passed nest. eon. I have not heard whether the opposition members returned to their places afterwards. M. Vuitry, the minister prodding the Council of State has, I understand, been defending—or, at least, speaking not unfavourably of—the cardinals. The Bourne was dull.

THE SBRIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BARNES .ifrifeiioli. BARNES. TURMAS MORNING. This morning the North London curve between Barnes Railway-bridge on the loop line and the Junction with the Richmond end Windsor branch of the London and South Wasters Railway was opal for the resumption of the ordinary traffic. The locomotive which ran off the rails yesterday afternoon has after great exertion on the pert of the South Western Railway ern 'Ales (who bad to nee very powerful "jacks" to lift the ponderous mass for this purpose) bees re ' moved from the permanent way—in which it was deeply embedded—between 11 and 12 o'clock last night and despatched to Nine Elms. With regard to the canes of this very alarming incident, which for the time put in be the lives of several of the pummels, out nothing sucertained. By some it has been stated that the lever of the points at the junction wu not pulled pro perly over, while others say that the points were all right, and that the occurrence was one of those unaccount able accidents which now and then happen. It is wonderful that the engine driver and fireman escaped so lightly, as the moment the locomotive left the rails for the sin foot the violent motion of the engine threw them on ho the foot plate, and while trying to save thaw pelves from falling one of them caught hold, it is mid, of the which which was thus opened, and the engine for • or two went on and tore up the road with redoubled speed. Mr. Godson, the traffic uperintsodent of the line, visited Bums this morning, and the Melo is sow restored. It will be remembered that last year at this very (maim, ea the same spot, • collision took place, which providentially for the panengers was uniateodad with lons of life. An • rule when the Queen travels the points are geoerally plugged into their proper positioe,and it becomes• (poetise, as far as regards the safety of the public, whether it would pint be advisable to adopt this plea in all positions where (motions are peculiarly dangerena.
