SONtEhilitiG Likt A SWINDLE.

On Thursday, at Worsbip-street Polite Conti? tendon,
Mr. Mansfield, the magistrate, called the attention of
the rePetter to the follOWing matter, as having come
under his notice h'Y 'eater (rem' Devonport; the writer
requesting that, for private revisions, the complaining
• party's name should not be mentioned the Plymouth
Alfait, of the 13th June, there appeared, it was stated, an
advertisement with a flaming heading—" Black Silks—
Black Silks Black Satinettes Black Satinettes."
fiat ifds followed by a description of the articles, very
low prices being attached, followed by the seducing
line, "Patterns sent free oY cow," end requesting an
early application for the same, as Cie' vtiliale lot was
one of the cheapest ever offered to the British
The address given for this supply was*" Richard C. Foot,
12, Princes-street, Spitalfields," a well known loceele
for such manufactures, and on the 14th of June patterns
tide sera for: These duly arrived on the 20th, were
highly approied arid by return of post an order was
transmitted for a quantity of eii6ll article on the 27th.
The customer received the invoice o'f the same,
amounting to £l9 155., with an intimation that
the goods were selected, and that the remit-
tance alone was waited for. This was signed " Richard
C. Foot." Not any time was permitted to elalase. A
post-office order was forwarded, payable at Whitechapel,
and the "bargains" were anxiously expected. After
that date, However, there was an end to the business.
Mr. Richard C. Foot was appealed to by letter in vain ;
nothing was received from him at Devonport, and, under
some hope that he niight Ise heatd of in ..Lonflon, the
defrauded person, who was.serioutly embarrassed by the
transaction, ventured to solicit the aid of the presiding
magistrate in the district where)S.lr. R. C. Foot tarried
on his
.business.—Mr. Mansfield, under these circum-
stances, kindly directed Bull; a warrant officer of the H
division, to make inquiries about Mr. Foot's respecta-
bility, the rem& of whioh was this :—The premises No.
12, Princes-street are in the occupation of a firm
(Messrs. Solomon and Isaacs) doing an extensive
business in paper staining, and to whose statement no
discredit could be attached ; these gentlemen informed
the officer that about five weeks since a portion of their
factory was taken by a person calling himself
Itioliarel C. Foot ; that about ten days past he sud-
denly decamped? subsequently paying his rent in
postage stamps, enclosed in a letter, and that latterly
frequent applications had been rrtade after, him by
several individuals, who complained of having been
defrauded. Communications to the same effect had also
been made to the commissioners of police from parties in
the west of England.—Mr. Mansfield expressed regret
at his inability to render further aid in the matter, but
observed that the press would, no doubt, notice it ; and
that if the facts were placed in possession of the Trade
Protection Society (Messrs. Stubbs, of Gresham-street,
City) it would, doubtless, have a satisfactory tendency.

DEPOPULATION OF IRELAND.

(From the Irish Times.)

lii the forty-five years which aro included between
181.5 and 1833, there left the United Kingdom so many
as 4,917,598 emigrants, This is about the popula-
tion of Lombardy before it was annexed to Sardinia.
The total is equal to the population of several German
kingdoms taken together. If these emigrants in-
Creased according to the usual proportion, thcy
and their descendants must be nearly equal to twice
the present population of Ireland. Emigration took
place chiefly from this country. In the six years
which succeeded to the fasaine, 2,2D0,000 left these
shores. After 18,54, the number gradually fell, and
was only 113,972 in 1858, though still many thou-
sands fit excess of the natural increase of the popula-
tion. In 185/ the mania for emigration sprung up
anew, and increased to 130,432 souls. There is every
reason to believe that the amount of emigration for
this year will greatly exceed even that of the last.
The high bounty offered to soldiers and seamen during
tile' Russian war and the Indian mutiny, together with
the rapid increase of prosperity in this country, led to the
decrease of emigration. But the sudden increase which
has taken place during the last acrd present years can
with difficulty be accounted for on any general principles.
There is ample employment offered in this country for
almost every description of labour. Emigrants are not
universally successful. Nearly 20,000, or or4-flfth, re-
turned to Ireland during the past year, and these speak
bitterly of the hardships they have had to encounter, and
the severity of the labour they endured.
.NOthing in the history of emigration is more touch-
ing than the anxiety of the Irish peasant to gather round
him his kith and kin in the far West. The annals of no
nation present a similar spectacle of affection for kindred
and self-denial. The moment an emigrant worked his way
to a clearing and a log hut he longed to see home faces
round him. For that he worked, and pinched, and saved. -
The new corners acted in the same way, and at last emi-
gration assumed the appearance of a complete trans-
fer of the Celtic race to America. The Twentieth
Report of the Emigration Commissioners shows that the
sum remitted by settled emigrants to their friends at
home amounted to £10,100,000,: even during the last
year it came to £621,176, a sum more than sufficient to
defray the whole expense of emigration from Ireland.
These returns are imperfect, as they are based upon the
information supplied by the courtesy of commercial
houses connected with America, and no return what-
ever has been obtained from the port of London.
The returns prepared so carefully and minutely by the
Registrar-General for Ireland catise grave apprehensions
to be entertained as to the future population ,of Ireland.
The natural increase of births is not more than 80,000
a year, and we have seen that emigration takes place to
120,000. But there is another element to be considered
besides the loss occasioned by personal emigration. They
who pass on to far off fields are the young, the adventu-
rous, and the energetic. Those who are left behind are
chiefly the old and the very rating. The former die off
year by year, the latter make for America as soon as the
wages of two or three years' service has made up the
cost of the passage, or a remittance is sent from America.

IRISH TRAMWAYS BlLL.—This bill, so useful for
facilitating communication betweca railways and roads,
has passed the Commons. Dublin will be included in
the bill.

TRANSMISSION Or PARCELS BETWEEN ENGLAND
AND FRANCE.—Dr. W. H. Broa;n has devised a method
of transmitting parcels under water, across the Channel,
with great celerity ; so , that deliveries of goods and
letters can be effected, several times, in the twenty-four
hours. The details of the scheme are not before us, so
that we cannot offer any opinion as to its feasibility ;
but the advantages which would attend its realisation
are obvions, and we are, therefore, glad to learn that a
company is being formed to carry it into effect. • The
system is, of course, founded on an application of a
prinsiple of pneumatics.
BRIGHTON ELECTION.—Up to seven o'clock on Thitrs-
day evening Mr. Moore, the Conservative candidate, had
not arrived, but was hourly expected. His numerous
and influential committee•have received-during the day
the most encouraging auguries of success on eve-Ty hand.
The nomination will take place to-day MaturdaY), and.
the polling on Monday. The proipects of the Conserva-
tives are the brighter by reason of the increasing dissen-
sions and bitterness• among the adherents of the two
so-called Liberals, and as both of them persist in their
determination to go to the poll, there can be little doubt
but with a vigorous effort on the Conservative side, the
vacant seat may be secured for a matt whose principles
are really worthy of so respectable and important a con-
stituency. Mr. Moore's committee, which was 200
strong at starting, has already been largely augmented ;
and it is only, for that gentleman himself to appear on
the scene, when a triumphant result may be looked for
as well nigh certain.

FOURTEEN SHIPS TO A MILE.—It is a . fact worthy
of remark, Abet fifteen of the largest ships afloat would
reach a mile.if placed in line. The Construction since
of a few steamers of great dimensions and a little
investigation into the accuracy of our former table
enables us to furnish now the names of fourteen ships,
which, without bowsprit would reach one mile. Annexed
are the figures :

It will be seen that the Great Eastern's, tonriag6 is
greater than that of the Niagara, Himalaya, and Gene-
ral Admiral combined. It is five times greater than
that of the once magnificent line-of-battle-64) rennsyl-
vania ; six times greater than the Great Britain. which
was considered " the heaviest monster of the deep " a
few years since, and about equal to the entire tonnage
of all the ships of the line *yen) afloat in the United
States navy. It would require more than twelve thou-
sand horses to move,
on shore, the timber which the
Great Eastern contains; and the weight of iron used in
her construction is greater than the total tonnage of the
steam frigate NiBlollll. All the full-grown oak in Scot'
land would not suffice to build one Great Eastern,—New
