from Ireland and Scotland were making at
the commencement Of April, for embarka-
ton of thousands at the expense of the EN-
irrant himself. Indeed from what we have
heard, we might almost say that the lar
ger number of poor Manufacturers i'm
Glasgow and Paisley are only prevented
from coming by want of means. From Ire.

account. Government have given infor.
nation that 10000 will be Immediately sent
out at ITS expense. We suppose that 25,.
900 emigrants will arrive this season.
TIE number OF vessels arrived now in
port is near 30. Many ofthem have had
passages ofbetween Ia and 22 days; which
we believe almost without example. Some
ofthem had not an hours contrary wind
from leaving the British ports to their an
choring here. The passages were gene.

those who profess the religion the estab-
lished church.

sect should have any other support than
what is voluntary, and should depend on its
good behaviour for the respect it may OBJ
tain.
