SHIELDS, March 17.—Though the wind is fro°
he N.N.E and there is strong sea on the bar, frolli
the extensive dredging that has been kept up by the River
Fyne Commissioners, and from the effects of other exteu'
sive river improvements that have been carried out by thtOF
the depth of water ou the bar has been so far increased tha,S
a considerable fleet of laden vessels was enabled to bail tilts
atternoon with safety, and with the fine wind that they are
experiencing they are likely to make rapid passages. Within
the past few days a consioerable amount of tonnage 110
reached here from Norway and other northern ports, seelg',
ing freights. Some of the Norwegian vessels are models ol
beautiful shipbuilding. Thera is no improvement in e°6
freights to London, which are 53 6d per ton. Latest ad''
vices from Constantinople with regard to Black Sea freights
give the following quotations :--68 6d to 6s 7d from son
Gs 3d to 6s 4d from Kustendje, 7s from Ordow, 7s 3d to 01,
6tl from Poti, 42s 6d to 44s from Odessa, all for the .I.Tniteci

EMIGRATION OF IRISHMEN.—Far some time /00
it has been observed that frinl this port, and alt-0
from Cork there has been a considerable, or rather, indeed'
a largo emigration of strong active young men, chiefly Irish
for New York. The extent to NVeich this draught has bee'
still is carried, gives rise to suspicion that these youti.g
men are in reality recruits for the Federal army. 11'1:
suspicion is further countenanced by the wellektiown o°l
hat for a long time
past agents of the, Federal Govern Well,,,
hay, bebeer.at work in Ireland, endeavouring surreptitious',
to obtain recruits, for whom it is weitknown a large board
la obtainable inunediatelv on their arrival in New i'cirlf;
whence they are at once draughted off to join the a 09;,.
