INCREASE IN THE EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL...-.
Still emigration from this port continues to increase in a
tremendous ratio even over the large returns of last year.
The number of passengers who sailed from this port in
the month of April, were 25,447 persons, against 17,558
in April last year ; making the number for the four
months, 67,130, against 49,463; an increase of 17,667.
A sad sign this of the condition of the country.

upwards of 2100 tons. She will be propelled by two en-
gines of about 450 horse-power.
PEDESTRIANISM.—A pedestrian match, for 100 sous.
aside, took place yesterday, at Aintree Race-course, be-
tween Hayes, of Halshaw Ikloor, and J. Tetlow, of Old-
ham—the latter to receive KO yards start. The men
appeared on the ground in excellent condition, and the
betting was in favour of the younger man, (Hayes,) mho
had won a similar match with Conway, twelve months
since, on the same ground, upon equal terms. Tetlow
kept his advantage throughout, and increased the odds
given him by his opponent to the extent of half a mile or
so, when he appeared at the winning post. Considerable
disappointment was expressed by the backers of Hayes. A
match for seven miles, £5 aside, between two youths,
(Burkie and Mevins,) succeeded, and the lads started with
the resolve that the best should win. They ran their
pace throughout almost level; but, upon Burkie attempt-
ing to pass Ps opponent on the final round, Me% in's
struck him with his elbow, so fig to throw rim out, but the
light-weight (Burnie) leaped a-h,o4d of him, and won by
some yards.
