from the London warehouses on credit, and az

EFFECTS OF EMIGRATION FROM SCOTLAND
The census returns Of the county OF Inverness
Tor 1901 show population OF 96,28O, which Is
a falling oft, as compared with the enumeration
OF l84l, OF 1912. The decrease is chiefly con-
fined to the western isles and parishes, the clear
ance system and famine having greatly thinned
those districts In Kilmuir, for instance, the de-
crease is 4O8; in Barra 465; in North Ust,
494 in South Uist, l,l03. The returns for the
county of Argyle also show still greater de-
crease in the population. In lSil the numbers
were 97,376 in 1851, s8,567 being decrease
OF $500. This large decrease must likewise be
accounted for by the tide Of emigration which
has long set in from the mainland and isles of
the western highlands, and which has been so
lamentably accelerated OF late years by the potato
failure aud consequent privation of the people.

! EGYPT AND ITS RAILwAY.-Since our former
observations on Egypt and the commencement
of the railway from Alexandria to Cairo, We have
heard with regret that some trifling point of de-
tail not having been clearly explained to his
tlighness the Pasha, the agent whom he had
sent over did not feel himself at liberty, under
the circumstances to commence operations with
out further instructions We now learn with
satisfaction that Mr.. Robert Stephenson, with q
zeal and liberality worthy of his reputation, is
about to despatch an engineer to Cairo, Mt his
own expense, to explain oil details, and to con.
clude the contract on the spot. The British
commercial public, who are sensible Of the ad
vantages to commerce which this undertaking
involves, will, we are sure, appreciate the ener.
gy exhibited by Mr.. Stephenson, in which they
will recognize an earnest of its speedy compile
tion
Dublin, June 23d.-The decline Of pauperism
is one of the most favorable symptoms in the
present state Of this country. The diminution
in the number OF paupers receiving relief is,
believe, perceptible in almost every union in Ire-
land, and in some, to a very remarkable extent
The North America is advertised to sail from
Galway on or about the 18th of next month AS
that vessel was to have sailed from New York
on the evening of the 18th, she will be looked
for off the Galway coast on Tuesday next al
though it may be some days later in the week
before she makes her appearance.
The preparations for the reception of the
Americans in Galway, and for turning the Ameri-
can experiment to the best advantage, are car
riad on with much spirit. The Freeman says
We were yesterday favored with a communi-
cation from the chairman of the Midland great
western railway, from which we learn that the
directors have made arrangements to forward to
Dublin special express with the papers, des-
patches and latters, which the North America
will bring, and that special steamer, selected
from the admirable fleet of the city of Dublin
steam packet company, will be stationed at
Kingstown, to convey the English portion of
the dispatches to Holyhead, thence to be dis
patched to London, Birmingham, and the leading
English towns, and no matter at what hour the
North America shall arrive at Galway bay, it is
the intention Of the great companies interested
in the traffic between Galway and Liverpool or
Holyhead, to take means that a moment be not
lost in forwarding the dispatches so as to bring
the period occupied in their transmission from
New York to Dublin, Liverpool, and London,
within the shortest possible limits
The Limerick Chronicle gives the following
very gratifying account Of the progress of the
crops:
"The splendid weather Of this week has given
an impulse to the growing crops beyond the
most sanguine anticipation, and the whole coun-
try presents the appearance of uxuriant gar
den. The potato fields certainly never at any
time in memory of the present generation
looked SO strong and healthy. The most cheer
ing reports of the prosperous state of the
growth and extent of potatoes have this week
reached our Office from the counties of Liner
lex, Tipperary, Cork, Kerry, Clare, and Galway"
The grain crops look remarkably healthy and
promising, and We have had no more alarms about
the appearance of the potato blight. The har
vest prospects are on the whole most encourag
ing.

The review Of the troops of the lst division
of the army of Paris by the President of the
republic, as announced some days since, came
off on Saturday in the Champ de Mars. AT n
quarter TO 2 the different corps forming the di-
vision took their position on the ground. The
President of the republic arrived on the ground
by the bridge of Jena. He was salu'ed on his
arrival, and on his return, by the same cries of
"Viye Napoleon" and Vive lie President" and
by the same groups that always attend such
ceremonies by cries Of "Vve lie Republquc."
The latter were invariably followed by more
earnest manifestations OF the former. The only
circumstance that varied the affair was the cry
of " Vive la Revision" which was uttered with
n great deal of fervor in several places.
