quences of emigration, states-7." In the country chapel of
a prosperous district, which half-a-dozen years ago could
hardly contain its congregation—so that in this balmy
harvest season they would swarm out praying on the
fresh green sward of the chapel-yard—we saw two Sun-
days since a scanty ring of some half-dozen deep, ill-clad
and care-worn people, round the altar-rail." In some

parishes in the neighbouring counties there are not one
hundred able-bodied men, and a considerable portion of
the harvest work is done by women. The Roman Catho-
lic clergy who, four years since, were not only favourable
to emigration, but encouraged it in every possible way,
are either silent spectators of the movement, or are em-
ploying every effort to arrest it without success. The
London Advertiser has the following conclusion to an
article on the emigration from Ireland :—By and by,
when Ireland has got rid of all who mean to leave her
shores, there will be an extensive immigration of English
and Scotch ; and this is precisely what Ireland wants. A
copious infusion of Saxon blood is just the agency to which,
more than to any other, we look for the moral and social

regeneration of the sister country. There is no reason
whatever why the west and south of Ireland should not,
before long, be crowded with English and Scotch settlers.
Why should not the Saxons take possession of the terri-
tories which the Celts have thought proper to desert ?
The foolish cry which the latter, under the inspiration of
the demagogues who are now spending their days in
Australian exile, used to get up was—" Ireland for the

Irish."

bracken, and are forsaking their country. And
since, therefore, Ireland cannot be theirs, seeing they
have located themselves in America or Australia, they
surely cannot carry their anti-Saxon prejudices so far as
to object to the English and Scotch settling in a country
from which they have fl2d, without the slightest intention
of ever again returning to it. It would be carrying Irish
feeling to an extent for which no one is prepared, even
antic, or at

'ettlers on the other sic

tv prefer seeing their native land converted
into a comparative desert, rather than that it should be
taken possession of by the English and Scotch, and culti-
vated by Saxon enterprise. Were from 150,000 to 200,000
of the more energetic of our English and Scotch popula-
tion to plant themselves in the west and south of the
sister country, they would, in a few years, effect a change
both in the physical and social condition of Ireland which
would appear incredible to the Irish themselves. In six
or seven years we should see the counties of Connaught
and Cork presenting an appearance which would justify
the conviction, that in ten or twelve years more we should
see in them the peace and prosperity which prevail in
the north.
