The official returns of emigation from the Mersey'
for the quarter and month ending the 30th Septem-
ber have just been completed at the Government
Emigration Office, and they present the following
results :—During the month of September, " under
the act," 22 ships had sailed,lhaving on board 370
cabin and 4,954 steerage passengers-1,549 Eng-
lish, 216 Scotch, 2,891 Irish, and 307 foreigners,
against last month 495 and 5,908 steerage-1,996
English, 381 Scotch, 3,268 Irish, and 263 foreigners.
In " short ships," not " under the act," comprising
passengers by mail steamships to all parts of the
world, and ships conveying under 50 passengers,
1,346 souls sailed during the month against 1,456
in August. The aggregate emigration " under the
act" for the quarter amounted to 17,231 souls, 1,158
cabin and 16,073 steerage-4,885 English, 1,000
Scotch, 9,399 Irish, and 789 foreigners, in addition
to 4,304 carried out in" short ships" not " under the
act." To the United States the greater proportion
of the emigration from the Mersey was directed,
and during the past month 264 cabin and 4,233
steerage passengers took their departure-1,190
English, 162 Scotch, 2,607 Irish, and 274 foreigners,
against last month 405 cabin and 4,590 steerage pas-
sengers, and 252 cabin and 4,398 steerage in Sept.,
1859. The total emigration to the United States
during the quarter was 851 cabin and 13,346 steer-
age, against 739 cabin and 12,428 steerage in the
corresponding quarter of last year. " Short ships"
conveyed 581, chiefly cabin passengers, during the
month, against 681 in August. and 727 in the cor-
responding period of 1859. It may be remarked that
emigration to the United States was much more
active towards the latter part of September than at
the commencement, several of the New York liners
carrying as many as 400 souls ; one, the Universe,
having cleared with 493 souls-102 English, 10
Scotch, 361 Irish, and 20 foreigners. To Canada
the Royal Mail steamers, running weekly to Mon-
treal and. Quebec from Liverpool, carried out 768
passengers against 697 last month, and 540 in
September, 1859. To the Australian colonies the
passenger trade shows a falling off both on the
month and quarter. In September 67 cabin and
620 steerage passengers sailed, " under the Act."
for Melbourne and New Zealand-265 English, 54
Scotch, 275 Irish, and 26 foreigners ; against 57
cabin and 709 steerage passengers in August, and
36 cabin and 933 steerage passengers in the corre-
sponding period of 1859. During the quarter 235
cabin and 2,754 steerage passengers took their de-
parture, against 175 cabin and 3,244 steerage in
thefttne quarter of last year. One ship with 371
Government emigrants sailed for New South Wales
during the quarter, against three ships and 1,120
souls last year. There has been no emigration to
the Cape of Good Hope or South Australia. To
the East Indies two vessels have been despatched,
with 562 soldiers' wives and families, which, how-
ever, scarcely come under the category of emigrants
(one of them was the ill-fated Conway, which was
totally wrecked off the island of Madeira, but, for-
tunately, every soul on board was saved). Short
ships conveyed 50, chiefly cabin passengers to
South America, and the mail steamer for the West
Coast of Africa carried 50 cabin passenger—an in-
crease of 10 over the steamer of the previous
month.

DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN

NORTHUMBERLAND.

On Friday two brothers named Cramond, and
two women, the wife and daughter of one of the
men, were brought before Captain Selby, R.N.,
one of the county magistrates at Alnwick, charged
with committing a highway robbery upon Mr. R.
Carr, a farmer living at Ditchburn, while that gen-
tleman was returning from Alnwick fair, on Tues-
day night. It seems that Mr. Carr had overtaken
the Cramonds, who are
‘, muggers," and commenced
to talk to them. While the party were going along
the road, which is rather lonely, a young man
named Williamson, belonging to Hulme Park, came
up close behind, but unknown tlo the Cramonds,
and heard them, amongst themse ves, making use
of threatening language towards Mr. Carr, and e
in-
timating what they intended to do. Williamson,

threatened to apply the same treatment to them, if

They thereupon surrendered at discretion, and the
whole four were made prisoners. Mr. Carr was
removed, still insensible, to the White House, his
wounds attended to, and a surgeon sent for to Aln-
wick. When the latter arrived he found Mr. Carr
had recovered his consciousness, but was suffering
from a severe contused wound in the temple (which
had been inflicted previous to his being dragged
from his horse), and other injuries in different parts
of his body. Mr. Carr, as has before been stated,
had been at Alnwick fair, where he had sold a quan-
tity of stock, but fortunately had deposited the pur-
