Cattle and Sheep, there was an unusually large supply of
Cattle sod Sheep. For prime animals there was a tolerably

LEDLOW New FAIL Nov. 6.-There we stager show of
stock than we have been arciastomcd to see. Very many
prime Boom were °Maud, but buyers were soiree. Prime
fat Cows did not fetch more than 4114. to 64. per lb., the
fetter thing the highest prim obtained. There was also a
liege supply of fat Sheep, the best pens of which reached
5141. per Ps. Store Sheep were not mush in request, &great
number having been sent home unsold. Some pens of good
twoyear-old wethets, tit for the butcher, were disposed of
at prices which were offered foe the same Sheep at our Sep-
tember fair, and then refused. There was a tolerable show
of Pigs, but the prices asked for them could bat in few in-
stances by realised.
ROCKDALE MONTHLY FAIR, Nov. 6.-There has been
an exceediegly good attendance of country farmers. butchers,
and cattle dealers. A very large number of horned Cattle
were offered foe Wipes beet calving Cows maintained
their prices, butwere sold at lower rates than a
month ago. There was not a very large number of Pigs,
and priers were rather on the decline.

habits-villa now prevail, and aided by the re-
sasses of capital they now possess. The removal of
la smanin portion of the existing population willrender
sem any the adoption of improved methods of ma-
:=t. The development of the resources of our
or of any country to which the expatriated
mamigrate, will increase the foreign demand for
productions of Ireland. It is immaterial
whether this effect be produced directly
by tho demand for provisions which the
wants of new settlements will for a term
of years create, or indirectly by the new markets for
British manufactures opened in new or increasing
settlements, adding to the wealth, numbers, and con-
sumption of our manufacturing dlatricts. Probably
both agencies will be called into play. But either
will stimulate the profitable employment of Irish
lands; the diminished number of Irish labourers will
increase the earnings of theme who remain ; more
work and better pay will beget habits of more con-
tinuous industry, a taste for saving and co:nfort.
Population will again increase, but inventive industry
and the consumers of its productions will also have
increased. Thus will a temporary diminution of the
sum of population prepare- Ireland for the sup-
port of a much larger population than at pre-
sent. And the effects of the process will be felt
long before the actual amount of population is re-
duced to what the land could at present comfortably
support. This is no mere hypothetical speculation :
it is an exact description of the process by, which the
settlement of Englishmen and Scotchmen in the colo-
Dies and the United States has enabled England
and Scotland to support populations so much more
dense, and at the same time enjoying so much more
average comfort than before the formation of these

settlements.
The opponents of emigration therefore take an
exaggerated estimate of the numbers who require to
emigrate. They exaggerate in like meaner the coat.
One learned and indefatigable writer tells us that it
costs so much to set down a family in the far west of
Canada, and that so mach more will be required to main-
tain them till they can reclaim from the woods enough
of land to support them ; and that, therefore,
emigration on any . large scale is impossible.
It so happens that in the district pitched upon
' there is at present no demand for labour;
families sent thither must either pay the whole
of their own travelling expenses or have them de-
frayed from this side of the water; and when there
they must set to work an land of their own or remain
weemployed. If we will persist in sending more
labourers to provinces where at this time they are not
seeded, of course, we must expect to incur this ex-
. But, at present, a family may be landed in
anpart of Australia at little, if any, more cost than it
can be transferred to Upper Canada: the settlers and
others interested in these colonies are willing
to bear part of the expense of the voyage;
and if the emigrant ships are sent not ex-
clusively to Sydney, Port Phillip, and Adelaide,
but to the numerous minor ports most accessible to
the settlers, the stockholders will meet the emigrants
there, defray all their expenses to the interior, and
be ready on such terms to give immediate employ-
ment to large numbers. The construction of the
Maine and Portland Railway affords at present em-
ployment to a considerable number of labourers ; and
the opening of the eastern townships of Canada by '
its means will give an impetus to settlement that will
speedily call fora largely-increased supply of labour in I
that district. This district is accessible at less (oat than °
Upper Canada, and the demand for labourers will re-
lieve us of the expense of maintaining them till they
can bring into cultivation lands of their own. Similar
openings for emitcrants maybe made by promoting the
railways now projected in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
and the portion of Canada towards Quebec. Their
construction, and the opening of the St. Lawrence
navigation to the flags of all nations will promote
similar undertakings in Upper Canada. The demand
for an augmented population will then be felt as
strongly in these colonies as in those of Australia, and
the present cost of landing and settling emigrants
will be proportionally diminished.
If a just estimate is taken of the kind and amount
of extraordinary emigration that is required fir the
relief of Ireland, it wal be found by no means so
great or so costly as to render it impracticable. But
at the same time care mast be taken not to mis-
apprehend the mode in which emigration is to
afford relief, or the extent to which it will
afford it. Other local social reforms in Ireland
must be combined with it if it is to produce real and
permanent good ; and sound judgment must be exer-
cised in directing the stream of temporary extraordi-
nary emigration to those countries where it can be
most rapidly and profitably absorbed. If this is not
attended to one-half the benefit of emigration—the
calling of new and extended markets for home pro
duce into existence, so as to increase the means of
profitable employment in this country—will be lost.
And what is of infinitely more consequence, if this is
not attended to the luckless emigrants will only be
landed on a distant shore to perish for want ; the
effects of heartless and inconsiderate evictions will
only be removed from public covidesses to diminish
the horror now excited by seek resesaings.

We are as hostile to oestrallealion, to pommel.
monopoly or interference, as any ; bat we cannot be
blind to the experiments and see ivies of the time,
which so clearly show the sisgrees oboes sod in-
justice which frequently arise free laming altogether
to individual care and individual intermits the supply
of a great capital like London with some of the first
necessities of life.
Let as take, for example, the supply of London
with water. Let us consider the sums of matey
sunk, the annual charge raised from the citizens, the
defects of the managemsnt,the 'confiners of the supply,
and the impurity of the water, and it is impossible
not to be monstrously dissatisfied with the imperfect
and expensive manner in which a great and im-
portant a duty to the public is performed. Any idea
or hope of remedy is at once precluded, by the first
glance dale enormity of vested rights which it would
be necessary to purchase in order to effect a reform.
Government, or a committee, parliamentary or muni-
cipal, could now provide London with water at ball
the expense, and with ten times the profusion of its
present superannuated machinery. But how can such
a task b:indateit:niim pd, when the first step most be to
buy or • • the owners of the mach' ?
1U removal of the filth of our sewers is almost as
important an object as the supply of water. A com-
plete plan for this removal ought to be the result of
general scientific consideration, and to be managed
some body charged with the interests of the
exclusively. Yet one of our first journals is dllis-
mouring to have this important duty, or a portion of
it, made over at once to a private =sivalcia
will at coos expend capital, erect Mtn
create a mated interest, as much in the way
age improvement, as the great water com-
panies afford in the way of a complete re-
form and economy in the supply of water.
It were better far that the Thames should remain a
year longer as it is, than, with the levels of London
yet unsurveyed, we should mortgage and make! away
the means of general improvement and. ecientile
sewerage, into the hands of a company which merely
wants to get a dividend by fattening the cabbages of
Hounslow by the emptying of our London ewers:.
Light is another of the great moralities of lifer
1 important not only for rendering business and
wayfaring possible, but for security and for military
ends. We are now dependent on the ps companies
for the supply et this first necessity, and there can be
little doubt that private competition, uncontrolled and
isnenquired into by the legislature, has not as yet sup-
r Idles to the capital or any portionof it withthe per-
and economy that might be desired. Several
of the London parishes are, we see, bully enquiring
into the matter ; and we publish, in another column,
the report of a meeting in Bishopsgate ward en the
subject
Live.
rpool has gone ahead of London in this par-
ticular, end a lesson might be learned by the dwellers
on the Thames from the dwellers on the Mersey. In
the last session of parliament the Liverpool Guardian
Gas Company withdrew their bill on an agreement
with the two existing Liverpool companies that they
should pay the expenses incurred by the Guardian
Company in prosecuting their bill, and effect a coali-
