ARRIVAL OF EMrGRASTs.-At the commence
ment of the season we predicted vast inesease
to our population by emigration hther, in conse-
quence OF the failure of the haryests in the
countries OF Europe. Nor were we mistaken;
for on looking over. the arrivals for the spring
and summer months, we fnd that they have, if
anything, exceeded what We supposed they would
be. No decrease is yer vsIble-emig rants con-
tinue to pour in by the thousand and ten thou

An opinion may be formed from this table OF
the great annual accession to our population by
emigration. Here we nearly eighteen thou
SIND persons have arrived at this port alone,
during one month IF we take into count the
numbers that have arrived in other ports, and
through the Canadasan other British possessions
In America, and which are known to be very
large, we think there is very little doubt that in
the year 1917, the increase of our population in
this way, will not fall much short of three hun
dred and fifty thousand souls
