DUBLIN, Nov. 13.

The emigration from Waterford, Cork, and Lime-
rick primed. with vigour. In the metropolis, the de-
sire to try their fortune in the New World has very
generally seized on our small trailing class, and they
have a sort of organisation fur the establishment in
America of a colony derived from home. A number
of our shopkeepers, alarmed by the prospect of the
times and the little hope of improvement which pre-
sents itself, have agreed to emigrate in a body. They
have purchased a small territory in the district
of Wisconsin, and thither they propose to proceed,
and found, perhaps, a city. Each will leave home
with a sum of 2,0001. at least, either in cash or mer-
chandise, and with such funds at their disposal they
persuade themselves, and no doubt truly, tbat with
energy and industry they must succeed. The ab-
straction of each an element from such a society as
ours is a serious loss. Of the class which is proceedicg
towards the " Far West " from Waterford a journal
now before me says: "Were it our poor population
supplied with funds to emigrate we would not regret,
but the stream is from our most industrious farming
class, who are carrying with them considerable pro-
perty converted into hard cash."
The Guild of Bricklayers and Masons of Limerick
have appealed through the public prints to the
humanity of their townsmen for contributions to a
fund they are raising to enable their active and un-
employed members to emigrate.
Armed bands (says the Limerick Chronicle), with
their faces blackened, nightly parade the country ;
and the same journal records a list of eight separate
robberies.

The preparations made for the enforcement of the
distresses ler poor rates in the Gort union, seems to
have had an admirable effect on the constructors of
barricades and cheraux-de-frise. On Thursday last
the military and police moved out of Gort, under
orders of Sir Michael Createh, to support the rate-
collectors. But, lo! the barricades had been all re-

moved, and every sign of obstruction had disappeared.
The result of the day's proceedings was a payment of
3001. to the rate collector. His future operation, will
doubtless meet no violent opposition there.
It is a fact sadly illustrating the condition of the
agricultural class, that within a circle of three miles
from the place where the recent murder of the bailiff
was perpetrated, near Limerick, there were as many
as four-and-twenty other bailiffs in charge of seizures,
that is to say, in that small circuit of a fruit-
ful district, with a good market, four-and-
twenty farmers were unable to pay their rent.
Two persons named Flanagan are in custody, for the
murder of the unhappy bailiff. I perceive to-day, by a
local paper, that in an electoral division of the same
county, en Kilmallock Union, 26 families, supposed to
number 130 souls, are about to be evicted, notice to
that effect, in the terms of the statute of the late ses-
sion, has been served on the relieving officer. In this
same union of Kilmallock, on the last meeting day of
the poor law guardians there were 200 paupers in
waiting outside the workhouse for admission or
relief.

BRISTOL, YESTIRD.4.Y,VATTIIE SCENE OF •
OINERAL HOLIDAY, the occasion being the commemoration
of the Bristol Docks' Transfer Bill, by the operatio of which
the control of the port and harbour, which was hitherto
vested in a private company, has paved to the city ; while
the port charges base been very materially reduced, the ton-
nage dues on a clam of shipping hithetto charged 3e. per ton,
being reduced to Is. per tonnage, and the otner ret,s in a
',tattler proportion, while all the export charges have
been entirely removed. The scheme being looked
to by numerous parties as a means of re. wing the
Vade and commerce of the port, the utmost re-
joicing was manifested. All the public offtces and places
of business and most of the retail establishments wire elated,
the shipping in the harbour dressed out in the colours of all
nations fired salutes throughout the day, the bells rang
merry peals, flags streamed from the s'eeplcs, and the streets
were crowded by holiday-seekers. The smile ea. been alto-
geths r a gay and joyous one. The most attractive part of
the holiday has been an exceedingly imposing pros i Mien, in
which the mayor and aldermen, the member. in p .rliement,
the corporation of the poor, the Society of Merchant Ven-
turer*, the raagistroti a, the different public companies and
the various tracks took cart. The proci ninth which was
accompanied by numerous bands of music, hannsrs, &c.
perambulated all the principal streets of the city.
