Emigrnion.-A letter from Ireland, plbrst.
ed in the London Courier, SAYS that the numb
of emigrants from thence this year will be atleas
treble $4,000, the usual annual emigration. .
Liverpool paper has the following on the same sub.
ject:-
The ship City of Waterford has sailed for Que.
bee with SO passengers, making a total Of 1855
emigrants from this one port. The Brunswick
sails from the London Dock in a few days with
nearly 900 men, women, and children, emisrat.
ing to New-York. They are most of them from
the neighborhood of Diss. in Norfolk, and the men
are chiefly agricultural laborers. No less than
81 persons left the parish of Stradbroke, Suffolk.
last week, for Canada, where, owing to a conner.
ion which a venerable and benevolent gentleman
residing in the parish has long had with the col.
ony, they will have recommendations. which are
likely to prove highly beneficial to their future in.
~terests. Many more are anxious to follow these
adventures. The emigrating mania has extend.
ed to Wales. Between thirty and forty families
left Milford Haven last week, in the brig Penn
broke Castle, for America.
Terrible storm.-Thc Nashville Banner Of
TIE Sd inst. contains the following account OF a
terrible storm which was experienced in Tia.
town and its vicinity on the Monday night pre-.
viOus:-
"On Monday night last. about II O'Clock We.
were visited-with dreadful storm of wind and
rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning
One or two houses in this town are said to eNhl'
bit marks, supposed to be the effects Of lightning
which was remarkably vivid and intense. H.
Rutherford county, between Nashville and MuI'
freesborough, much injury was done by the wind
Fences, trees and out>buiidings were overthrow
in the neighborhood of Seary's and the cotton
gin and horse mill of Mr.. Jones', were entirely
demolished. In Franklin, Williams county, We
understand, greati jury was done, especially "
the trees.
But the most serious calamity befell the town Of!
Charlotte in Dickson comfy, where the princ!'
pal force of the gale, so far as we have learnt
was experienced. A great proportion Of the
buildings in that village were prostrated. The
Court House, a substantial brick ediice two
stories high, was nearly levelled with the ground,
and Mr.. Collier. who lodged in the upper story,
was so much injured, that his life was despaired
of. We understood, from a traveller, who pas
sed the night IN the hotel in that place, that the
scene Of distress and alarm was heart-rcndIng
and indiscribably awful. So soon as it was as
certained that the hotel was uninjured. persons
rushed in from every direction in their night
clothes, and most of them bloody from their own
wounds or those Of their friends. Several LAD
their limbs broken, most Of them had received
some bodily injury, and all were excessively '''
tressed and alarmed"
