Emigration to a considerable extent is now in pro-
gress from many of oar pour law unions. The parties
enabled to emigrate are young females, and their des-
tination Australia. Tho females recommended in
every instance am those without near relatives, and
who would in all probability, bad they remained at
home,be permanently chargeable on the union. They
are supplied with abundant rations, good clothes, and
a free is afforded them by the government,
who e rare also that, on reaching their destination,
they shall be provided for until they ob-
tain eneagements as servants either in the
house or farm. This there is no difficulty
iu their achieving, as such persons are much wanted
in Australia, and the wages given arc good. Thus
those young women who if left at home must be per-
manent paupers or worse are placed in a position to
earn an independent livelihood and enabled to make
respectable settlements for life. The yonng persons
seem to like the opening presented to them, and they
leave with cheerfulness for their new sphere of life.
A considerable number of these emigrants arrived on
Tuesday from Ballina-100, Tuam, Westport, Castlebar,
Bernina, and other western unions, and e ere received
on board the Shaenim—a vessel provided by govern-
ment fer their reception, and in which they will sail
with all speed fur Australia.
Mr. W. I. Ilerceek, assistant poor-law commis-
sioner in Ireland, died on Tuesday, at Sutton, near
Dublin. Mr. Hancock was formerly land agent to
Lord Largan, and his evidence before the Devon
Land Commiseron presents the beet end most com-
prehensive account of the northern custom of tenant-
right. The deceased gentleman was father to Mr. W.
N. Hancock, professor of political economy in our
university. His death was caused by severe typhus
fever, caught in the discharge of his duty. He was
in his 57th year.
An accident which, fortunately, was not productive
of any serious damage, occurred on Monday night to
the Cambria steamer, belongirg to the London
and Holyhead Company. About midway between
Holyhead and Dublin, the belt which binds the
rods which keep the flanges of the paddles in
their places broke short. The rods flew wild,
and the whole of the paddle wheel was in-
stantly torn away, and the wheel rendered per-
fectly usek,s. Tho vessel steamed to port wine
one wheel only at work, and the result was that she
was four hours lute in her arrival, not having reached
Kirgstown pier until three this morning. The acci-
dent was one which no vigilance could guard against,
hut no danger could occur from it unless a storm
should prevail, which fortunately woe not the cave in
this instance. The Irish public regard these boats
with very great favour.
The Tipperary paper gives ample note of the out-
cry we shall have most probably from thence during
the approaching winter. It records an attack upon
a dwelling, and the beating of the owner, a person
named Tracey, wh3 had ventured to take a farm from
which a person had been ejected who would not till
it. The seems paper reports a notice from Captain
Spillblood, a highway robbery, a house robbery, and
the shooting of a valuable horse. These are the
crimes of the district fur one week. At the same
time it ought not to ba unknown how diligently
certain gentry are employed in furnishing pre-
texts foe these outrages, and perhaps pro-
voking or stimulating thereto. A Limerick paper
gives names and particulars of 21 families and 102
persons evicted a few days since in Owney, the dis-
trict around Nenagh. The gentleman who has done
this is a clergyman of the established church. A
Mr. Philips has evicted 32 persons in the same die-
t.ict ; and Mr. Augustus Stafford (late O'Brien) is
adding his contribution to the fund of reckless dis-
content these acts are sure to generate.
There are nearly 6,000 persons in the receipt of
relief in the union of Kilkenny.
The Italian Opera company has commenced per
here, and Dublin presented iu its theatre,
on the fleet night, ae gay and splendid au outside as if
we never knew distress, or as if famine had never
visited us. The temper shown by the people was as
outwardly. loyal as if we never shad a club or an
abortive insurrection. The house was very full.
Many military and naval officers were present. No, inn
was the opera.
Perhaps there could be no better evidence offered
of the progress which Newry is making in trading
importance than is presented by the fact that another
new steamer has arrived there to be placed upon the
New:7 Canal.
On Tuesday five individuals of foreign air and lan-
guage mere seen to land front on board an English
ship at our quay, and as the police have had strict
orders given them to watch each persons with mere
than ordinary vigilance these men at once attracted
their notice. On investigation and inquiry it was
found that all the men were armed, and they were
at once taken into custody and brought before the
magistrates. They stated in the police-office that
they were Germane, and had, with others, taken
passage for America at a German port. The vessel
in which they sailed was wrecked at sea, and they
were picked up by another vessel, which landed the
party at Plymouth. The vessel in which they came here
took them on beard at Plymouth, and they were
intending to make theft way to Liverpool, and thence
to America. They accounted for the possession of the
arms by stating that they had intended to use them in
" the far west." The police having used all diligence
in investigating these statements found them true so
16r as they could be tested, and the Germans were
eoesequently released from custody. The magistrate
desired) that as respects the arms the pollee should
take care they were not pertained to dispose of them.
A storm of hail and rain passed over the north p.or-
tion oethe county of Dublin on Tuesday lay', doing
immense damage to the crops yet standing, which
were in the more exposed situations beaten into the
soil. Indeed, Ido not had any accounts of the state
of other districts which come in any degree near the
reality of the state of things around Malabide. A
farm was last night pointed unt to me, from which
wheat was cut last week and Fold as straw in the
market, the farmer not finding it worth the expense
of thrashing. The accounts yesterday from the coun-
try are not all one could wish. In some dietricte the
weather has continued very unsettled ; in others,
however, the harvest operations are proceeding with
great success and under favourable anepicee.

Subscriptions have been commenced for the relief
of the families of the ahipwreked fishermen at Peter-
head. The lives lost at that port are given at 19,
whilst the destruction of boat property is estimated
at 3,0001. Tce harbour trustees of Peterhead have
commenced the list with a donation of 2001. The
alleged want of harbour light, and the certain ab-
sence ..sf a hfe boat, are circumstances disgraceful to
a port so largely patronised as a fishing station as
Peterhead appears to be.
The independent or Cowan party in Edinburgh is
invreasing. At the Registration Court the conserva-
tives exhibited a decrease of 44 ; the whigs of 318;
whilst the independents bad an addition of 24. The
total decrease on the register is 366.
Fillan's bust of Proteaso* Wilson, exceat,cl for this
community of Paisley, was inaugurated last week.
Paisley has always been proud of Christopher, and in
this respect forms an exception to the usual frigidity
' with which prophets are regarded in their birth
Iplaces. The bust is said to be an able one.
The inhabitants of Aberdeen are waxing anti-
quarian in anticipation of the Queen's vied, and
have evoked from one of the Spalding Society's pub-
lications the following document sent by the privy
council to the burghers of " Bon-Accord,' on occasion
of the visit of James VI., in 1617:

A jakt-etoek company is being organised for the
'mama of dwelling houses for the working clerees in
Edinburgh. The sato chorea for tl e commencement
ell the experiment is in the neighbourhood of the
university. The system might advantageously be
followed in all our large towns. In commenting on
the crowded state of the poorer localities in Aberdeen,
as a means of promoting disc ore, a local paper crotes
the rentals of certain localities; the object being to
• show the increase of low-rented homes between 1841
and 1547 :
