EIIIMIRTIoN.—The spirit of emigration from
the West. of Scotland to British North America,
seems to be greatly on the lucre's, ; nor is it preva-
lent chiefly with those whom pecuniary distress, or
want of employment at home, may be supposed to
actuate in changing their situations. (deny sub..
*timbal farmers, carrying with them considerable
sums of money, and with large families, are among
the number of recent' deporturts. There are like-
wise, however. numerous artisans, as destitute of
means u of work. aim are emigrating in the hope,
thit•we trust will not prove vain. of bettering a
condition which cannot be worse alters they are go-
ing than it is in the country they are leaving. The
late disturbances in the west may have had tici'ssiaU
share else its increasing the number of emigrants,
many implicated in these proceedings having
quietly " lelt their country for their couutry's
guod"—a deterinstiatioti, by the hies which, how.
ever excellent of its kind. some will be inclined to
think would have 'been greatly improved had it
been takes a few mouths sooner.

Gooding, the servant of Captain DAVIS. who
as our truste►s may recollect, enabled his master to
escape from Gilisisurssirert Cumpter. was tried ou
Monday at the Loudon Stsblolllo, and a tvroced to
six months' imprisonment. l'he Jolty were ex-
tremely reluctant to find • verdict against him;
but they coulJ not hesitate him consi►tently with
their duty.
The New York Papers, which are to the 21st last,
announce that the Nasiglition Bill has parsed.—
This measure is nut founded on airy new principle;
it is merely the extension of one ou which Congress
determined some time since. As a retaliatory
measure, they excluded from entry into their port.
all British vessels coming trout our West India
Islands. to which they themselves had not access;
this prohibitory system now includes our settlement•
on their own Continent.
Notwithstanding the late cutting winds the apple
trees ire represented as beating toll and beautiful
blossom. with every present prospect of an alma
