ALBANY LOBBY.

The "Third House" at the State capital comprises non
of genius. The lobby is always large, active, rampant, and
cadaverous, They hover around the hotels and legislative
halls like a pack of half-starved wolves around the carcass
of one of their victims, snarling here and biting there. One
of their modes of operation is to watch the Bills referred to
the committees, and before they are taken up for considera-
tion get some person to go to some of the members of the
committee with a story that there is a big thing in such
and such a Bill, and it had better be laid over for informa-
tion. This done, the committee, not wishing to act without
fu'l information on Bills to which suspicion can be attached,
postpones action. The lobbyman immediately manages to
throw himself in the way of the friends of the Bill, and, after
preliminary proceedings, in which he ascertains how much
the friends of the measure want it passed, ho offers to get it
reported for a given sum, and members of the Legislature
sometimes assist the lobbymen, knowing what it is for, and
with the agreement to divide. It is but just to state that
the members are much oftener made tools of than they are
participators knowingly in the transaction. When Bills
come up in committee of the whole, " the Lobby" manage
to get some member to raise the cry of "big thing," and
get it progressed, eo that they can have time to manipulate
it and make their arrangements with the advocates of the
Bill. Should they fail in committee of the whole, then
they attack it on its third reading, and endeavour to have
it lost by failing to have a constitutional vote, and have, of
course, a Motion made to reconsider, and that laid on the
table. The lobbyman, often a person who could not influ-
ence One member if bis object was known, manages to have
it known to the friends of the Bill that he was the man who
defeated the Bill. Of course, ho is waited upon to ascertain
what the trouble is. If the person eo waited upon is in-
dined to pay any money for the 01, this lobbyman shows
him the list of yeas and nays on the final passage of the
Bill, and marks the list of those ha the nejative, with to
amount that those members will have to be paid to get them
to vote for the bill, or at least a sufficient number to enable
it to receive a constitutional vote, and then adds to th,lBo
respective sums his fees for attending to the business and
securing the members. The bargain is then struck, and
the bill passed. Several members have been thus sold, end
gotten the reputation of "being on the make," when, in
nine cases out of every ten, not ono of the members knows
anything about the transaction, or gets any of the money
secured by the lobbymen. There are instances, however,
in every Legislature, where members inside act with lobby-
men and receive their share of the funds; but the number
since the famous Session of 1860 has been very few and far
between. It is often that honest men are made dupes of in
this peculiar mode of the lobby to ruin members, and Lt the
same lime to feather their own nests.—New York litrald.

THE DANO-GERMAN WAR. SOUTHAMPTON,
Friday.—According to advices received by the
agents at this port, the Senate of Bremen has been informed
by the Danish Government that the commanders of
Danish war vessels have been instructed not to molest
any of the German steamers carrying the United States'
mails, This decision is principally owing to representa-
tions made at Copenhagen by the Government of the
United States. The steamers of the North German
Lloyd, as well as those of the Hamburg-American Com-
pany, may therefore continue to run to and from Bremen
and Haohurg respectively witlAnt fear of being interfered
wlth.

A parliamentary return just issued, prepared in
the office of the Irish Register General, reports u
decrease in the extent of land under tillage in 1863,
as compared with 1862, of 91,950 acres. Th do-
crease in cereals was 143,531 acres. An increase is
set down, on the other hand, for potatoes (9,002
acres), turnips and mangold wurzel (32,703 acres),
and cabbage (3,582 acres). Meadow also increased
7,714 acres. The important increase, however, was,
as the public know already, in flax, which was
64,029 acres in excess of 1862. Along with these
facts,it should also be borne in mind that the acre-
able yield in 1863 was better in all crops, with the
exception of hay, the decrease in which was not to a
serious amount. In the total produce of cereals, for
example, despite the decrease in the acreage devoted
to them, there was an advance of 1,803,541
quarters upon 1862. Potatoes, likewise, with an
increased acreage of only 6,300, produced 1,217,547
tons more than the previous year. The increase in
turnips 390,990 tons. There was a considerable
increase in the yield of flax, 18,388 tons. The late
harvest was, therefore, a tolerably favourable one
—a marked improvement upon that of 1862. It
is impossible to say how much greater a total
acreage of flax may be calculated upon for this
year, but there is no reason to doubt that there
will be a very considerable increase in the land
under that crop, as compared even with 1863. The
increase, however, will not, we fear, be anything
like as large as sanguine persons have predicted,
and as the public attention lately given to the sub-
ject may have induced many to suppose. The
farmers of Munster and Connaught have special
difficulties to contend with in the cultivation of
flax crop. A table published in the report, for
example, reminds us that of the 1,087 acutching
mills in Ireland, Ulster contains no less than 1,060.
There are but three in all the province of Con-
naught, only nine in Munster, and 12 in Leinster.
This return, however, is of a date so far back as
June last, and since then some progress itas cer-
tainly been made in the erection of mills in various
parts of the country. Turning to the emigration
statistics for 1863 we find that the total of 117,820
persons who left Ireland, not intending to return,
was an inorease, as compared with 1882, of 45,000
or more than a half more. This emigration seems
to have been of males and females in the normal
proportion. The largest proportion of it was from
Munster, 54,870; against 15,020 from Leinster and
17,815 from Connaught. From Ulster, though the
most prosperous province, 22,497 went forth last
year. There was in fact increased activity in Ulster
in 1863 ; so that this section of the emigration is
not to be accounted for by asserting prevalence of
poverty. Nor does the tenant right of Ulster serve
to keep the people at home, as it should do if the
theory of the agitators were well founded. The
population, apparently, whose natural disposition
most inclines them to try new fields of effort in dis-
tant countries, in preference to the slower growth
of iidustrial success at home, are the quick, enter.
prising southerners. In 1862, as in 1863, the
emigration from Munster was much more than
double that of Ulster, which also then, as now,
showed the nest highest total. In this connection
it will be instructive to state that in the interval

since 1851 the total emigration from Ireland

being 1,431,125, considerably over a third of
that number (541,135) comes under the heading
emigration from Munster, whilst that from
Ulster stands next (394,200). It appears,
too, that during last year the port from
wh;ch the greatest number sailed was Queenstown
—including Cork with it, 40,864 took their depar-
ture from thence; the next most favourite ports
being Dublin, Belfast, and Londonderry. The lis-
appearance almost of the third and fourth class of
ports from the emigration lista probably indicates
that the emigrants are generally of a better class,
being able to remove themselves and their families
to distant places of embarkation, and to pay a rate
of passage money proportionate to the increased
comfort now afforded by the shipping firms. It is
believed that up to the present the emigration fur
1864 has been in excess of the same period of 1863,
but that no authenticated statistics for the past
three piuutith r,r i-,t tut, 'pr)•

GARIBALDI AS A LINGUIST.—It is said General
Garibaldi speaks about 14 different languages. Being
a0“,(1 the other day to write something for a little boy's
crap book, he instantly composed some verses in Greek.
The writer of this letter has seen him within the last few
days compose verses iu ancient and modern Greek, Spanish,
Portuguese, French, and Italian, always at the request of
different friends. English is the last language he hey
acquired, haviug learned it in America in 1840 and 1851,
