EMIGRATION.—The Government agent at St. John's,
N. 8., under date Dee. 29, writes thus to Lieut. Friend, the
Government agent at Cork : The emigration to • this
province during the past season amounts to 16,251 souls,

all from Ireland. The deaths on the voyage were 823;
in the Lazaretto, St. John, 601 ; in the Lazaretto, Mira-
michi, 96; in the Emigrant Hospital, St. John, 595;
total offielally reported, 2115. Other deaths not reported
will swell the whole number to 2400, or one-seventh or
those who embarked. The numbers landed here the last
four years are as follows :—ln 1844, 2500 ; 1845, 6000;
1846, 91100; 1847, 15,000."
DEATH OF PROFESSOR FINN MAGNUSEN.—The an-
nouncement of the death of this distinguished Icelander
will be received with sorrow by all friends of Northern
philology. He was born at Skalholt, in Iceland, in the
year 1783. Having shown promise of those attainments
for which he was afterwards so deservedly celebrated, he
was sent, at an early age, to the University of Copen-
tagan, where he completed his education, and took the
usual degrees. Having turned his attention for a time to
the study of the law, he returned to Iceland on his father's
death in 1800, and was appointed an advocate in the
Supreme Court at Rejkjavik, the capital of the island.
In this position he remained with little interruption till
the year 1812, when he left Iceland and established him-
self permanently at Copenhagen, in order that he might
devote himself exclusively to Northern literature and
science. Professor Finn Magnusen, who, during a visit
to England some years back, became acquainted with
zuany to whom his memory is still dear, had been in ill
health for some months before his decease, which took
place at Copenhagen on Christmas-eve.
THE DUCHESS OF BORDEAUX.—The Romish clergy,
to whom the government of July had made so many ad-
vances and concessions, have chosen to elevate the preg-
nancy of the Duchess to the importance of a political
event. The following document is now universally dif-
fused, which we republish at the risk of profanation :
" Forty pra era to the Holy Virgin to implore God to
perpetuate the race of St. Louis.

Jesus, hear us ! Holy Spirit, have mercy upon us! Holy

PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN MARY

" Holy Virgin. 0 Divine Mary, Mother of our Divine
Saviour ! we, full of the recollections of your former good-
mess, bumply prostrate at your feet, have recourse to your
maternal heart in order to implore you to solicit from
Jesus Christ, your Son, a mercy on behalf of France,
which you have so well loved ; by your fecundity, so agree-
able to God, induce him to revive the stem of St. Louis.
for the honour of His holy name, the glory of religion, tho
salvation of France, and the happiness and freedom of the
people, and the perpetuity of the reign of our very Chris-
tian kings. Amen.
