from Rye, a few days ago, with 103 anigeonts en bees&

the United States, and all parts of N Amoeba. On ir y,
a number of persons, most of them peosoadni the appearance el peat
poverty, passed through Bury in wadken the parishes at North
and South hopham, to embark at Lwow' he the United States
of America. Between one and 300 peruse doe migrating fro
mthose parishes, a considerable sum of wag !mks bout benewed
on security of the rates, to defray the nese, their

The quays of Greenock and Port-Glasgow presented
an unusual bustle during the lest week, by the arrival and embarks.
don of emigrants from all parts of the country, to various vessels
about to sail for America. The families mentioned in our last
publication as going oat under the management of the Rev.
Mr 111‘Dotiald, embarked in the Corsair brig, bound for Prince
Edward's Island ; and as great was the number of passages en.
gaged with the Reverend Gentleman that it was found impos.l
sibie to procure accommodation for them in the vessel. Num.'
bens of passengers were obliged to go on to Belfast, in quest of
vessels to take them to America, being determined to leave the
country. The cheap rate at which passages were secured with
Mr. Bl• Donald—vii. ilth. without food—seems to have been ge.
nearly known throughout the country, as great uumbers came to
Greenock, expecting that they had nothing to do but go on board of
the vessel. The Corsair was to sail this day. Yesterday the
Cherub sailed for Montreal, with a few wealthy agricultural and
commercial emigrants, who, we hear, have taken a considerable sum
of money with them to their adopted country. The Earl of Dalhou.
ale, also bound for Montreal, was to sail this da, and she also takes a
few passengers. The Cassandra, from Port Glasgow for New York,
is to sail on Tuesday, with, we learn, about 160
_passengers. The
mania for emigrating to the United States seem still to rage with un.
abated fury, so that no sooner has one vessel sailed than another Is
• y filled with passengers. The manufacturing and
commercial speculations which are fostered and encouraged by the
tariff laws of America, have had the effect of draining our country
of Its improvements, and many of its productive populadon..—.G/os.

INTOI.ERANCE.—A circumstance of a novel nature, in
this part of the country at least, occurred at the burial-ground of
' Achonry on Sunday last. The remains of a woman of the name of
Meredith, who, it appears, bad some Protestant relatives, but who
lived and died a Roman Catholic, were brought to the above men-
tioned burial-ground to be interred. The funeral was attended by
the Rev. Mr. Flynn, C.C. Tobereorry, who was called on to officiate
on the occasion. When it was ascertained that he was In the act of
proceeding with the burial service, some of the aforesaid relatives
sent for the Protestant Curate, who put a stop to the reading of the
burial service..-8/igo Observer.
We are concerned to state, that the Market Drayton
Bank suspended its payments on Monday last. We understand that
the resources of the house are more than sufficient to meet every de-
