EMIGRATION.

REPORT OF THZ 0011MHZIONEBS.
This morning the general report of the Emigre,

[or 1881 was issued.

Emigration from the United Kingdom attained its
maximum in 1852. In 1855 emigration began to fall off.
It revived to • slight eistere in 1867, but since then bee
again fallen off. In the year 1861 the number who left
the United Kingdom was only 91,779, being the smallest
emigration in any year since 1844, and a reduction. as
compared with 1860, of 36,699, and as compared with
1852 of 256,964. The (rut reduction was of course is the
emigration to the United States, which fell from 87,500 in
1860 to 49,764 in 1861. The decrease to Australia was
only from 24,302 to 23,758, while to British America there
was an increase from 9,786 to 12,707. And, u might be
expected, the principal diminution was in Irish emigration,
which fall from 60,835 to 36,322, being a decrease of
24,513, or more than two-thirds of the whole reduction.
Even if civil war bad not broken out in the United States,
it is probable that the emigration to that country would
Dever have recovered its fanner proportions. As it con-
sisted almeet entirely of Irish, the depletion of Ireland by
the excessive emigration of recent years must, under any
circumstances, have brought it down to moderate propor-
tions. Between 1841 and 1851 the population of Ireland
fell from 8,175,124 to 6,515,794, or • decrease of 1,659,330 ;
but during the same period the Irish emigration amounted
to at lead 1,289,000 scale, or more than three-fourths of
the decrease. Between 1851 and 1861 the popubition of
Ireland fell from 6,515,794 to 5,764,543, or a decrease
of 751,251. But during the same period the Irish emigra-
tion We/ upwards of 1,210,000 souls. Even, therefore,
after making allowance for Irish settled in England before
1851, who may be included in the return of Irish emigtante,
there remains a large margin to be accounted for only by
the ester of births over deaths in Ireland.
The amount of remittances from settlers in America to
their friends in the United Kingdom in 1861 was, u far as
the commissioners hare been able to ascertain, 426,2851.

The above amount, mourning, as is probable, that the peat
bulk of it was sent from and to Irish, would have been
more than doable what was necessity to pay the whole ex-
pense of Irish emigratim.
The emigration has again been very healthy. The mor-
tality in ships proceeding to the United States (for returns
of which the oommiesioners are obliged to depend on the

shipowners) has been only •05 per cent. In ships proceed-
ing to the St. Lynnee it was •0t per cent., midge the
government ships to Australia it was yenta
During 1861 no accident attended with lose of life oc•
caned to aey passenger ship. Of 307 ships which sailed
from the United Kingdom, one, the United States, was
wrecked at the entrance of the St. Lawrence, but the mew
and passengers were saved. No other casualty occurred.

The principal choruses performed (we do not say
rehearsed) on Saturday were "

from the Messiah : the " Hailstone Chores,"

Nymph," from the Allegro : "May no rash Intru-
der." from Solomon ; and " See the conquering
Hero conies," from Judas Maccabees. There were
several solo performances. Mdlle. Titling swig
" 0 had I Jubare Lyre," and " Let the bright Se-

e Bandon-Dolby sang the recitatives intro-
ductory to the choruses in Solomon ; Mr. Sims
Reeves, " Love in her Byes sits playing," from Ade
and Gdol ; Signor Belletti, "Revenge, Time-
thous cries," from the Ode on St. Ceoilia's Day ; and
Mr. Weiss, "Haste thee, Nymph," from L'Allegro.
Mr. Bentley, whose name was in the list of per-
formers, did not appear.
It was very gratifying to find that the great ex-
pense incurred in improving " the great Handel
Orchestra" has not been thrown away. The effect
produced by the roof thrown over it, and the lateral
walls (as they may be called) of sonorous material,
was even greater than bad been anticipated. The
sound, being thus concentrated and projeeted into
the space occupied by the audience, has gained
that fulness and distinctness the lack of which has
hitherto been so much complained of ; and this was
the case not only with respect to the choruses but
also the solo voices and the most delicate instru-
mental accompaniment&
A good dad of confusion and difficulty took
place in the transit of the vast assemblage of
visitors both to and from the Crystal Palace. Mul-
titudes of them arrived so late that the commence-
ment of the performance was delayed for nearly an
hour after the appointed time. But these incon-
veniences, we trust, will be obviated. On the
whole there is no reason to doubt that the festival
will be completely and brilliantly suooesduL
The weather this morning, though at times such
as to cause apprehension, has been on the whole
satisfactory, the sun having, whatever foreign visi-
tors may say on the subject, shone out at
frequent intervals, and the rain kept off
entirely. The cab traffic towards the London
bridge and Victoria stations was exceedingly great
up to noon—the latest period that could safely be
chosen for departure for the great musical fee-
, tival of the year. The arrivals from the
country north, eant, and west of London
by early trains have also been numerous, and for
the day Sydenhain will have run a successful race
of competition for public favour with Kensington,
and, as may now be added, the remote region of

His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon visited
the building in the course of the day? and the pub-
lic, advised of his ooming by a previous announce-
ment in the morning papers, were ready to give
him the usual ovation. His Imperial Highum
was received by Sir Wentworth Dike on behalf of
the Commissioners, Earl Grenville being absent on
a more solemn duty, and, attended by A very nu-
merous suite, passed through several of the courts.
He succeeded in getting through the Ohms/ Court
unmolested, but was unfortunately detected whilst
taking a hasty &nos at the Koh-i-noor, to ethic",
Sir W. Dilke had directed his attention. The mob
then formed in an instant, and followed, dodged,
and out-flanked the Imperial party all through the
Precious Metal Court. At Mr. Hancock's case the
Prince stopped to examine the Devonshire getwi,
and was in the act of looking at the well-known
diadem which contains the locket portraits of Queen
Elizabeth and Leicester, when the enemy advanced
in force, and the exhibitor was obliged to give his
Imperial Highness a means of retreat, by passing
him right through the stand, and raising a portion
of the rail, the moveability of which had hitherto
happily escaped public notice. We don't know, of
course, exactly bow closely the visitors to the Dog
show, during the present week, will consider them-
selves jusliAed in examining
.the specimens, but if
we know anything of canine temper, anything
like the inspection to which royal and imperial
personages are obliged to submit at the Interna-
tional Exhibition will be very apt to disturb the
harmony of the show. The evil is really assum-
ing monstrous proportions, and will, if the public
do not learn to keep their curiosity within rea-
unable bounds, at last banish all celebrities from
the Exhibition. On this occasion Prince Napoleon

dence, in company with a distinguished French

One of the most attractive spectacles which have
taken place in the International Exhibition since
its opening came off on Friday evening before a very
limited audience. For some time previous the pm
aibility heel been mooted of illuminating the whole
interior by means of the electric light, generated
according to the improved process which is daily to
be seen in operation in the western annex. •On
this occasion the Cattily was erected at one sad al
the building, and shot a broad column of the
brightest daylight quite to the other end. The
sustaining power of the new process was Billy
proved, but the well-known defect of the electric
light in leaving everything beyond its influence in
comparative darkness—in other words, its abeam
of diffusive quality—was also perceptible. Another
inoonvenience was that the eyes of persons approtiell-
ing the light were so dazzled that they could see
nothing ; but with these drawbacks the east was
extremely beantifuL Mr. Mayo is now imaged In
experiments by means of which he hopes to neutra-
lize the dazzling, and the complete illumination of
the building can be obtained by placing lights at
various angles rd the interior. Mould it ultimately
be found possible, steadily and universally to illu-
minate the interior by means of electricity, the
problem of a night exhibition will be solved, aswith
the electric light all danger of fire will be avoided.
The success of the evening exhibition at the Royal
Academy has not improbably turned the attention
of the Commissioners to this subject.
The number of visitors on Saturday was as fol-
lows:—By season tickets, 8,306; by payment,
12,291; total, 20,597.
