THE French MAIL SrgAMERs.-France appears

steam vigation on the large scale which her
rank and position as maratime and commercial
state demand. The Chambers are seriously oc-
cuped, with an. extensive project for intersectng
the Atlantic with several lines of steamers of
the first class, connecting the chief ports of
France in the Mediterranean and on the western
coast with the great centres of population and
commerce of the New World
The principal line will communicate between

Emigration from Ireland to America.
From the London Chronicle March 81
While Irish members in the House of Commons
demanding increased facilities for the emigration the
people the Irish journals full of statements to the
unusually large numbers in which the people are either
emigratng preparing to emigrate to North America
We have doubt that the emigration of the present
year will touch if it does not exceed the utmost limits
within which such a movement carried on by private
and ordinary means. take place with safety The
emigration to America from the United Kingdom was
very great both in lsl5 and in 1876 The numbers in
the former year amounted to 10000, and in the first
three quarters of lsi6 to 10000 persons about twothrds
being from Ireland ana the increase III ls1U being al
most entirely Irish, From the accounts which
reach Is not improbable that Ireland will pour out
from 100000 to 100000 Of her people in ei7. We may
hope without feeling entire confidence that Canada and
the United States will be able TO absorb this multitude
quietly and profitably and there is doubt that the
immense demand for agricultural produce in the present
year will afford unusual facilities for such absorption
