for St. John's, New Brunswick. About ten days ago the Abeona
also sailed tor the latter place, having on board 111 passengers:l
so that no less than 398 emigrants have been carried out by
Dumfries vessels at this time. Of these emLrants, one-half at
least are weavers from I.angholm, Cumberland, and other places;
who not being altogetii.2.r unacquainted with rural employments,
have very wisely exchanged the shuttle for the spade, the axe,
or the cross-saw. The other half of the emigrants is made up
of lahourers, ploughmen, and small farmers, many of whom have
seen better days, and who doubtless felt many a pang as the
shores of the Solway were receding from their view, and making
the land of their nativity only an imaginary point on the verge
of the horizon. It may be proper to mention, that it is now
four years since the Jessie began to take nut passengers from this
port, and that in the course of that time, she has carried out
no less than 794 emigrants, all of whom were landed in safety,
excepting one child.

passengers on board, of which 17 were children. They were
chiefly of the agriculrural class; but among them were some
weavers, who, in the present depresped and unpromising state of
their occupation, have wisely resolved to exchange the shuttle
for the spade.
