deceased was killed. She stated that she herself smothered
her sister, that when the t ush took place, both being anxious
to get out, the deceased, who was in advance of ber, fell, and
was forced with her face on the stone flags, and she was driven
upon her, and felt the last respiration she gave, but being so
closely pressed by those from behind, she was unable to get off
her, or to render the least assistance, although she screamed
with all her might for help.

From a statement in the Dublin Freeman's Journal, it
would appear that the emigration commenced some years
ago from this country to Monte Video has no not yet been
ab )r,doned. The Freeman says :—" On this day 135 erni-
gr.in•s will leave the river by the fine ship Waterwitch, of
Liverpool, fat Monte Video. The greater portion of the
emigrants are from the west of Ireland. It is ten years
sine- a ship left Dublin for Monte Video."

MR. JOHN CLARE AND THE " ALBION."

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

Sir,—My attention has been drawn to a statement made
in the Alb on, of yesterday, by the editor, in which he states
I have put myself "to the trouble of fabricating an account
of an interview" with him (the editor of t hat journal), and
adds, that I had " gone to the expense of advertising it."
The truth of the allegation I deny, and challenge him to
disprove a single word of the statement I have published.
Until he does so, I shall maintain that the charge of fabrica-
tion will rest rather upon him than myself.
