THE PROGRESS OF EMIGRATION.

Some very interesting particulars have been com-
piled at the government emigration office, Liverpool, rela-
tive to the number of persons who have emigrated from that
port within the last few years. It appears from these offi-
cial *mounts that in the first half of the month of Marsh
last the number of emigrants was very considerable, being
no less than 10,000. During the whole month the number
who emigrated was 20,400. Fifty-three ships were em-
ployed in carrying them.
. .

Emigration seems to be steadily on the incresee, and it
may be stated es a consequence that an augmentation hes
taken place en the rates demanded for passengers to the ex-
tent say of 6i. each. . _

During the month of January last the number of emi-
grants was 7,749, which increased as the year was progress-
ing, no less than 11,849 persona having emigrated in the
month of February. In the year 1851, the total number of
emigrants was 196,890, and the number of ships employed
in carrying them oat was 607. In 1850, the number was
166,090; number of ships, 668. In 1849, the number
was 147,776; number of ships, 665. In 1848, thenumber was
125,604 ; number of ships, 619. In 1847, the number was
129,636; number of ships, 614. It should be stated that
these numbers include those who left by sailing vessels, and
also those who were cabin passengers. The following are
the gross totals of the whole number of passengers who
went out, including these in steamers :—ln 1847, the num-
ber was 134,624; m 1848, 131,121 ; in 1849, 153,902; in
1850, 174,187.
The following is the exact number of cabin passengers
who went out in sailing vessels during four years:—ln 1847
the number was 1,189; in 1848 it was reduced to 982. Then
again there was an increase in 1849, the number for that
year being 1,614. There was a slight decrease in 1850 as
compared with 1849, the number in the latter year
being 1,351.
The actual number of the labouring passengers who sailed
from Liverpool under the Emigration Act during five years
was thus :—ln 1847 the number was 128,447 ; number of
ships employed in carrying them, 614. In 1848 the number
was 124 622 ; number of ships employed in carrying them,
519. In 1849 the number was 146,162 ; number of ships
employed in carrying them, 566. In 1860 the number had
increased to 164,639 ; number of ships employed In carry-
ing them, 668. In 1861 the number was 196,932 ; number
of ships employed in carrying them, 607. The total number
of persons who emigrated during four yenta in various ves-
sels, including samisien, was as follows :—ln 1847 the am-
ber was 134,636 i 16:6181446, 131,121 ; la 1149, 153,902 ; la

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of
the British peseesitions in America, computed from the
fauns' mode in the week ending the 6th April, 11162,
Is 19s. 9d. Sugar, the taoduce of the Mauritius, no return.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 136. 3d. The
average price of the two foregoing gestriptioas of sugar,
Jointly, is 18.. 6s.

MANUFACTUREB.—BruneoIn, APRIL B.—yarns :
The demand for home consumption and lultolthoo OM'
domes as it has been for some time past—obOtit equal to
ths production, and this is Oddly done on the spool or
weaving bobbins. There is more inquiry for reeled Wu
for shipping; but as the prices offered are ruinously low,
the spinners prefer to allow their frames to stand till better
prices can be realised. There is a disposition to buy, and
give out orders, but till better prices can be mole it is evi-
dent
that the quantity spun will not be increased. It is
only by this wise course that things are to be brought about,
for a continuance of the present state of things is ruinous
to all engaged in the trade. Pieces: There is rather more
doing in piece goods, particularly seen-quarter Cobourgs ;
and as this class of goods take a good deal of yarns, it is
quite clear any animated demand would bring about an
advance in the price of yarns, for the spinners are exceed-
ingly dissatisfied with present rices. In Orleans and mixed
goods more hu been done, andp on the whole, things present
a rather more cheerful appearance.

CORN.— EDINBURGH, April 7.—A small supply of
grain in the market to-day. All inquiries now being over
for seed, there was just the usual demand, making saki
heave. Prices going back for all sorts. Wheat, 36a. Gd.
to 475. Barley, 255. to 335. Gd. Oats, 181. Bd. to Zia.
Been', 275, to 365.

CATTLE.—BratnItT FA I usual at fairs of this mag-
nitude, where the supply is so very extensive, and the live
stock shown so very superior, the buyers from both local
and distant counties are very numerous. At the opening
' of the fair on Thursday, the graziers commenced buying
store boast freely. The best Aprons, Herefords, and short
horns were the first selected, making 101. to 121. per head ;
the best Scotch and Welch, 51. to 71. per bead; and all
other breeds that were good in quality experienced a good
demand at equally satisfactory prices to the sellers. But the
trade fur the middling and inferior class of beast presented
a less active appearance, the shortness of feed in the pas-
tures acting as a great drawback both in prices and demand.
Although many were sold, to effect sales great abatements
were made. Mich and in-calf cows sold freely at 141. to
161. each. In the sheep fair wether hoggets made 30s. to
32a. each; couples, 341. to 365. per couple, The horse fair
was one continual scene of activity throughout the day.
Buyers for the Queen selected largely, cad every sound
young horse, of which hopes were entertained of becoming
a charger for the heavy trooper or Light Dragoon, was
bought up without delay. Hunters and well-shaped car-
riage horses made extraordinary high prices. The best cart
horses made 45 to 55 guineas each ; ponies that were trained
to harness sold freely at SI. to 121. each; unbroken, 51. to
V. each. Yesterday being Good Friday no business was
transacted.

Doxc sssss Aran. FAIL—The April horse fair, which
is the largest throughout the year, commenced on Monday
last, and its advent was hailed with pleasurable anticipa-
tions not only by the admirers of that noble and useful
animal—tbe horse, but the inhabitants of the town gene-
rally, who evince great anxiety and interest in anything
pertaining. to horses or horse racing. l'reparations for this
fair were iadicated as early as Friday last by the arrival of
several large dealers, whose agents were on the qui rive on
Friday and Saturday, buying up all the best horses they
could secure at tolerably high prices. Early on Satur-
day morning we observed from forty to fifty horses of
venous kinds which had been bought in Doncaster, being
convoyed away on the Great Northern Railway. On Mon-
day morning a great number of horses arrived by the
railway and the various inlets of the borough, end at nine
or ten o'clock the town !mimed quite a busy appearance.
Horses of a superior quality were bought with avidity at
high prices. The show of horses for hunting purpose was
somewhat less than on previous occasions, but they met
with nay purchasers at prices varying from 601. to 1001.
We observed Mr. Collins and Mr. Catlin, and other horse-
dealers from London, and Messrs. Wheeler Brothers, of
Oxford, the latter gentlemen haring bought a good number
of hacks at from 2.51. to 331. each. There was but a mode-
rate show of carriage horses, which were generally of a
rather inferior description. those of a superior quality
met with easy customers at from 401. to 601. each. There
was a tolerably good show of draught horscs,but not much
business doing, except among those of a high quality,
the prices for which ranged from 261. up to 401. The
show of entire horses opposite the Salutation Inn was
very good, both ea regards the quality of the animals and
the number. There were many very powerful draught
horses amongst them, but not many thorough-bred sta.:lions.
In this lot we noticed Croton Oil, the celebrated horse bred
by the late Lord George Ilentinck, which formed tho chief
object of attraction in this group. Ronne was also much
admired for his beautiful symmetry and action, and at-
tracted a good deal of attention. There was also a beautiful
spotted stallion present, called Telegraph, which, from the
singularity of the marks on its back and from its sym-
metry and quick action, drew forth much attention and
praise from the bystanders as being a very noble animal.
There was some very good trotting performed by four horses
on the Bcnnitthorpe road, two of which were very saperior
trotters, running at a rough intimate about 18 miles
an hour. Mr. Coekshot, of Cringles, exhibited his de-
servedly famed hone, Rainbow, and Messrs. Newton and
Hepworth that well-known and well-bred animal, Young
Quintessence. The beset market was not eci fully attended
as in former years, having only a small supply of grazing
as bets, and of fat scarcely any. Good heifers and barren
beasts were most in demand, and sold freely at a slight ad-
vance. For strong steers we had a heavy sale. Fat stock
realised about 6s. 6d per stone. In the sheep market there
was a good show of hogs, prices ranging from Ms. to 415.,
with brisk sales. Fat in poor supply, which obtained cur-
rent rates.

EntNirvana, April 7.—The supply of cattle this morning
was large, there befog 828, or 34 more than last week. Sales
also very dull, and prices down. Extreme top price 6s. 6d. ;
current top price, 6s. ; middling and inferior sorts, 6s. to 55.6 d.
per Dutch stone. At the close a great number were unsold.
The supply of S beep was 2,284, being 519 moro than last
week. Sales were dull, and prices, compared with those
obtained last week, down Is. to Is. 6d. per head. Top price
of the best black-faced Mutton, 60. ; current price, 6d. ;
middling and inferior sorts from 4d. to 41d. per lb. At the
cleft of the market a clearance was not effected.
