EXTRAORDINARY IRISH EXODUS FROM THE
MERSEY.-If the extraordinary emigration at present going
forward to the United States direct from all the ports of the
sister isle has excited the attention and alarm of Irish poli-
ticians and journalists, a visit to the Liverpool docks during
the past few weeks, and to the different emigration offices
along Waterloo and Regent-roads, would not lead in any
degree to diminish the feeling of alarm, as at no period for
many years past has the emigration been so brisk as at pre-
sent to ports in the United States ; indeed, some of th
leading emigration houses state that the trade has not bees'
so brisk since 1837. During the present month the exodus
from the Mersey to the United States in passenger ships has
been about 9,000 steerage passengers, being an average of
3,000 weekly, and the numbers exhibit no apparent signs of
r
decrease. In addition to the above, several vessels are noiready far sea and at anchor in the river, with not less than
1,500 souls on beard, bound for the United States.--Lice
