EMIGRATION.—The spirit of emigration, which
usually appears at this season of the year, already manifests
itself amongst the peasantry in this and the surrounding neigh-
bourhood. Within the last ten days nine families, each on an
average consisting of four individuals, passed through this
town, on their way to Dublin, to embark for America. They
are chiefly from the lower part of the county of Roscommon,
and seem, in general, to be persons in comfortable eireum-
stances.—Athlone Independent.
Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock,
Elizabeth Spurling, a young woman between eighteen and
nineteen years of age, housemaid in the family of Powney,
Esq., Carlton-house gardens, was ascending the steps of the
area, when stepping on to the flag-stone which forms the land-
ing place, her feet slipped and she fell backwards down the steps.
She was taken up apparently lifeless, and her skull was found
to be so extensively fractured, that she is not expected to re-
cover.
Our island has been visited during the past week,
like most parts of England, by heavy falls of hail, which lay
in heaps of several inches thick for many hours. The open-
ing buds of the peach and apricot trees, we are sorry to say,
have severely suffered in consequence. Such have been the
effects of the late storms near London, that the roads from
Hampstead and Highgate were strewed on Wednesday last,
with blossoms and young twigs; and "even branches from
trees of years' standing were blown down by the violence of
the wind."—Jersey Argus, May 2.

TILE FOREIGN Ex c lIA NGES.—Yesterday the
quotations of most of the Foreign Exchanges were still de-
pressed, and the demand for the exportation of the precious
metals was expected to be continued ; there is, however, e
good amount of bullion in London, which, it is expected, tv.
be further increased by the anticipated arrivals from v
Cruz. The returns of the liabilities and the assets r era
Bank of England are anxiously looked for, as it is thou the
a diminution of the stock of bullion in the coffers of Alit that
will be still further shown by. them. The rate of E iceank
