THE IRISH. IN AMERICA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—According to your report of the Bishop of
Cashhl's speech in the House cf l,rds, on Tue.day
night, he states (quoting the Quarterly Review) that
there are 3 000,000 souls, born in Ireland, now in the
United States.
According to Parliamentary returns, commencing
1826 and ending 1850, it appears there emigrated from
Great Britain and Ireland, to
The States
Canada, &c.

... 1,483,325
... 841,7u[

2 324,026
Previous to 1826,1 believe, there was scsre,ly uny emi-
gration from Ireland to America; consequently the num
ber of Irish, natives of Ireland, now living in the States,
who wont previous to 1826, must be a mere fraction.
Suppose we nay that of the 2 324,026 one-third are
British, and this will be within the mark ; this will make
the Irish emigration amount to 1.549,351. But of thi
We must take tnat portion of Irish settling in the Bri
dab colonies, am.,un,inv, to not less than 250,000, and
also the deaths of all Irish emigrants since 1826, which
cannot be less than 250,000. Thus we have, in round
numbers, at tho clut.o of 1850, total number of Irish
emigrants—

Ser tl« d in America..
De4d since 1826 ..

... 1,549,351
... 250,000

Settled in Canada, &c.

1,299 351
... 250 000

Natives of Ireland now living in the
States

... 1,049 351

And as I believe about 200,000 Irish went to the
Sates last year, i; appears tnat instead of 3 000:000
natives of Irelann in the States, there is no! 14 million ;
and instead of 7 millioes of inhabitants of Irish blood,
there are considerably I. ss than 3;000 000. lam sur-
prised that these " Irish" exaggerations sh,,uld not have
seen sifted and contradicted b) some of the Noble Pre-
late's hearers.--I am, sir, your obedient servant,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CORNWALL.
A special meeting of this company wits held at Truro
on Wednesday, Mr. W. Williams in the chair.
The Secretary then read the report,
The CHAIRMAN. in m.,viog the adoption of the report,
said be had nu doubt that the railway could now b,
s4tely proceeded with, provided the ccnapany were
fairly supported by the labdowners. The directors
were perfectly satit,fied that ihe line could be con-
structed I. r a sum within the estimates. Uoless he
could see his way perfectly clear to the accomplish-
ment of the object they had in view, he would not pro-
ceed with it. tie made up his mind not to be in-
strumental in involving either the shareholders 'r the
dtrectori, or the public at large, in a railway project that
could not carried out and c millet d.
Sir C. LEMON, Bart., M.P., seconded the motion,
which was puc and carried.

Mr. G. SMITH ent,-red into a long statement to show
that the Cornwall line could be completed and opened
for traffic at, a cost to he company of lose than 1,000,0001.
He said that the West Cornwall Railway had con-
structed thirteen miles of railway Iv a cost of under
6,000/. a mile, and the p,)rtion of the latter company's
line from Redru,h to Truro, which was similar to that
of the intended Cornwall Railway, would 'be completed
for less than 6.000/. a mile. From an estimate of tbe
traffic that had been carefully made it appeared that the
net revenue on the Cornwall line would amount to
58,000kper annum, being equal to a dividend a 54 per
cent. on the outlay.
A long discussion ensued on the merits of the under-
taking and the possibility of completing it within the
o.tiwute, in which Mr. I'. J. Robarts, M.P., Mr. H. 0.
Wills, Mr. B. B. Fox, Mr. J. Allen, Mr. Darke, and
other proprietors took part.
Resolutions were passed approving of the proposal to
allow the shareholders, on or before the 10th of May,
to reduce the number of their shares to the extent of
one-fourth of the shares now registered in their names
provided the call now made shall be paid on the other
three-fourths; autholizlng the directors to accept a for•
feiture of such shar•-s, and to re•is,uw the same on such
terms as they shall consider expedient; and that steps
be taken to insure the earliest practicable resumption of
the works.

a very small market. Wheat sold slowly at Is advance. Beans
were free of sale at ts, and oats a' 6d more money. Wheat,

derate supply of wheat, and it was held firmly for an advance
of is per quarter, which was obtained with difficulty. The
malting season appears to be over, therefore our quotations are
nearly nominal. Oats and beans fully supported heir value,
with a fair demend. The present prices of grain and flour in
Nottingham are as follow .—Wheat, old white, 46s to 49s per
36 stone ; new ditto, -12 to 48s ; barley, for malting, 275 to

WORCESTER, APRIL 24.—The market to-day maintained
the firmness of last Sa, urday. arid wheat was worth 3d. per bag
more money. English white wheat realized 16s 6d per bag,
and red 14s 6d to 15 63 per bag. loreign quite as dear.
Malting barley is worth Ss 6d to 4s per bushel, and other ,

At Stourbridge market, on Friday, there was a fair 1111°"

At Kidderminster, on Thursday, wheat was in short
and was held for an advance, but millers were slow in giving
more money. Barley was firm at late quotations. Beano
and oats were io request at Is per quarter advance. In Peas

At Wolvethampton market there was a short supply
wheat, which advanced Is per quarter on the rates of last Mar.
