exodns this Beason—if the reports
are not exaggerated—is likely to be as marvellous in its
extent u that which followed mem the terrible famine
of 1846.7. The provincial papers turn with the subject,
and the farmer+ remaining at home have taken the
alarm at the almost certain prospect of • :scarcity of
labourers and the consequent euhauced price of labour.
A Kerry paper (the Purr reports as follows :—" From
our own county, early as it is in the year, an unusual
amebae have already gone, and there are signs of an
eongestion doubling, nay, trebling that of some years
past--and this, too, though it is said that no emigrant
vessels will sail direct from this port (rralee) as they
have done for several seasons past. Now the railroad
is availed of, aid ever: Wednesday for the past month
the early trains have tarried away crowds of emigrants,
intending to,go by those new linen which call in at Cork
for passengers. Last Wednesday, as we have heard,
very sear 150 persons klt Tralee by the early train ea
roue to catch the steamer for America, besides those
who were picked up at Farranfore. Killarney, he.
Those parties were, most of them, booked through for
America in Tralee. From what we can learn, the
greatest rush AMU the Atlantic is, comparatively
speaking, from the Dingle district, from which town and
neighbourhood no less than 350 persons have either
already left or are preparing for the voyage; auil we
have heard it stated that if the hoped-for remittances
come from relatives in America, that number will be
more than doubled before the close of the action." It
is fairly remarked that this revival of the emigration
panic is not to be attributed to the want of a Tenant
Hight Bill or fixity of tenure, for tbe emigrating class is
for the most part composed of mere labourers and
household servants, but is to be traced to the simple
fact that every mail from Amerioca brings large remit-
fences for passage Ind outfit to relatives in the old
senntry, who, of course, are willingly tempted to better
their condition in a country which offers a larger field
I for industrial enterprise.
A Tam MORTAL\ Cum.—Before the Judges have
