Ireland, Italy, and Northern Germany. Our office
is constantly besieged with those awaiting the ar
rival of the steamer, for later and more decisive

this is quite natural and to be expected, for affairs
in those countries at the last accounts, were in
very critical state-the fate of England depending
upon the result of the rebellion in Ireland, and the
peace of Europe hanging on the events in Italy
and Schleswlg- Holstein. If the patriots succeed
in Ireland, whit is England to do! If Russia,
Norway and Sweden join Denmark against Ger
many, what are the French, Germans and Italians

Northern powers? 1t is plainly to be seen, from
all this, that the coming news from Europe Is
likely to be of the highest importance. We may

public business is shamefully neglected by them
as it has been by their predecessors In order that
our readers may know the names of these differ

So the reader can see that the hunkers compose
the largest number of applicants. If the wings
turn out equally as strong (and why notD 1t will
require good deal of manpuvring to get the no.
minaton AS yet, the only one we have heard of,
is Roderck Morrison, formerly member of the
Legislature. His residence is in the 18th, as
that appears to be the ward that is entitled to the
representation.
A Barnburner Convention for the nomination of an
electoral ticket, is to assemble at Ottawa Illinois,

The Hon. r. A. Toombs has been unanimously
nominated for reelection to Congress from Georgia,

the nuisance The contractors are determined to
enforce the laws on this subject and to give no
excuse for the continuance Of the habit, they
will employ carts that will be sent round the CITY
every day, to remove garbage of all kinds, which,
when collected, will be disposed of to proprietors
of piggeries, and used as food for their stock.
This admirable arrangement, if carried out in full

EMIGRATION. tide of emigration continues
TO flow as rapidly as ever Every part of the Old
World is contributing Its quota TO well the cur
rent; and il the unsettled state of affairs in Europe
continue for some time longer, there Is no doubt
but the population of this country is destined to
receive still larger accessions.
According to our ship news report, over eighteen
hundred emierants arrived at this port from
Europe between sunrise and noon yesterday, and
during the afternoon nine hundred and fifty more
came in, making the number OF arrivals from
Europe, two thousand seven hundred and fifty
They are hale and hearty, having experienced no
sickness while on the passage. The greater por-
ton of these people are from Great Britain.
Since the first day of lsas the number of lmm-
grants arrived at this port from abroad, was no.
4O4. In the eight previous months, or frcm the
9Th of May to the 3lst December, the number was
l29 0s2 being 239, 4S6 in the last fifteen months
1t appears that from May to December, lS47, there
were 3d. $50 German, and 50, 496 natives of Ireland
but from December to August, lS4S, the number
from Ireland has exceeded by some thousands
that from Germany. The war between Denmark
and Germany has doubtless operated to prevent
these numbers from running on parl pass~,
but ii is expected that soon as there is
free egress from the German ports, the same
ratio will continue, if the numbers be not larger
the side of Germany. The number arrived in
July, Is4S, was 24,622, of which 1868 were from
Germany ll,740 from Ireland 2,235 England ;
1866 Scotland lO6 France; "a Holland 1923
Switzerland 63 Spain; ia Wales 493 Norway;
So Sweden 81 West Indies; Denmark 3 South
America Poland
The emigration during last month from England
and Scotland, has been greater, we believe, than
at any previous corresponding period. There is
room enough, however, for all that choose TO
come, if they only make up their minds not to
remain in the sea ports, but to push back to the
West, and earnestly apply themselves to honest in
dustry. Difficulties may, no doubt, beset their
progress until they are properly settled; but, if
they can summon up courage to struggle with
them as they arise, success will follow, and they
will very soon attain position of competence, Il
not of independence.
The boundless resources of this great country
are such as to enable us to give employment and
subsistence to all the mlsgoverned and oppressed
sons of Adam, if they only endeavor, when they
come here, to get rid of the wees OF slaves, and
practice the virtues OF freemen.
