EMIGRATION.

DUMFRIES, APRIL e 23.

Sunday last the Thomson's Pacquet, bound for
Quebec, left Glencaple Quay with 145 passengers ;
and on Wednesday the Elizabeth will sail for St.
John's, New Brunswick, with 118 passengers, making
in all an emigration of 263 persons from this side of
the river. Of these the greater number may be de-
scribed as natives of the lower district of Dumfries-
shire ; but the higher districts, as well as Wigtown-
shire and the Stewartry, have also furnished their
quotas. In the present groupe of 263 persons there
are very few tradesmen; by far the greater num-
ber have been bred as farmers and farm-servants, and
some of them possess considerable property. One eco-
nomical veteran, who wears " a sark scarcely gude
eneugh for a linseed-bag," carries out with him £l2OO
in sovereigns : and there are numbers that can muster
£5O, £6O, £7O, and £lOO sterling. At the same time
it must be confessed, that there are others who will be
altogether pennyless by the time they reach the Ame-
rican continent ; but most of these have " some friend,
or brother there," at whose suggestion they have gone
out, and to whom they look for temporary assistance.
The Pacquet and Elizabeth have also shipped, amidst
a world of luggage and a good assortment of agri-
cultural implements, up wards of1:4000 worth of goods,
chiefly purchased in this town and neighbourhood.—
An excellent bull, and cow and calf, and a great va-
riety of grass seeds, quick-sets, young trees, &c. have
been sent out agreeably to the order of the Agricul-
tural Society of Charlotte County, New Brunswick,
who appear bent on improving the husbandry of
that rising colony. One wealthy farmer from this
neighbourhood, who some time ago purchased a pro-
perty in St. John's, has taken out a horse with him,
on which he pays a duty of £5 ; and indeed we re-
gret to say, that for every ox exported the Custom-
house tax is £l, and for every co* 10s. sterling. But
in spite of obstacles of this nature, there are few
places that are improving so rapidly as Sr. John's,
New Brunswick. Within the last two years more
than 200 houses have been built in the capital ; and
at present Government are erecting a suite of Bar-
racks en such a scale, that the Elizabeth carries out
100 tons of freestone flags for making hearthstones,
&c. for the Officers' rooms. Last night we were fa-
voured with the sight of a letter from St. John's,
dated so late as the 12th of last month, by which it
appears that spring has set in about two months
earlier than usual. In America, as in Britain, the
season throughout has been remarkably mild, and
from the state of the rivers, the writer of the letter
alluded to expected that the saw-mills would be in
full operation in the course of twelVe days.—Durnfries

We hear Mr. Owarr is preparing the details of
practical measures, which are now likely to meet the
concurrence of all parties, for the rtlief of the Irish
peasantry, and the poor of this country ; and that he
expects soon to bare the plan ready to tohniit to
