A considerable proportion of this large emigration
proceeds from Liverpool, which may be considered
IA this respect the prucIpd port OF the United
Kingdom. II Will be seen from the above table that
dof the last three years there has been an emigra
tlon much more extensive than usual TO .he United
States OF America; aud that IN the past year
its amount far surpassed that of any year previous
During the present season il is probable that the
emigration will be still greater. These swarmng

there can be no doubt in the nnd of any one who
