Emigration is increasing to wonderful extent;
from all the ports of England, and especially Of Ire
lana, emigIant vessels are continually sailing,
charged with the living freight. The impulse has
been given to the English by the accounts of the
gold IN Australia, which now begins to pour in, and
the sight OF each lump of gold exhibited in the Of
fees OF brokers' and others strs up the spirit of tho
out after the rlcn treasure. Men OF all
classes are seized with the mania, and many throw
up good situations in order to 60 out and try their
fortunes 1t is something like the rage which seized
upon the European world after tho discovery of
Peru, by Pisarro, and the accounts of the gold of
Mexico and South America which the Spanish ad-
venturels spread over Europe. But it is much
larger scale, and affects greater classes Of people At
that time the shipping OF tho world was nothing to
what 1t is now and besides, the persons who then
chiefly went out as Adventures were gentlemen who
equipped vessels, and took out followers and vassals.
The millions were then an insignificant body But
now it is this class which is like the great set
in motion, and rolls in mighty waves towards the
New World. What an immense quantity Of wheat
ard corn, and hogs and becvcs, it requires to feed
these masses And if God did not send down the for
tzing rains, and prosper the labor of the husband
man, what would become Of them
The impulse given to production by the consump-
ton of these masses, is almost incredible They arc
very short sighted politicians in America who cry
out against the influx Of all these cmigrants your
shores For, after all, though the tide Of emigra-
ton DIVORCES into several branches, towards Austria
a and other places, yet the great flood is still con-
stanly directed towards the United States. That
Hood IS angmenting continually, for the streams of
emgrants which flow to other shores are an increase
Of the general spirit Of motion they are not de-
auctions from the food pouring on to the United
States. That food towards you, as observed before
Is steadily increasing Now although is true that
there are many poor creatures, who, arriving on
Your shores, become burden to the country, yet
II the consumption created by these masses is con-
dcred The benefit to the trade and to the producers
OF the United States, compared with the burden i'm
posed 10y the iag ends OF the emigratng mass, is
like mountain compared with grain OF sand.
1t would be below the mark to say that the &C.
fleets on trade, and the consumption created by this
mass estimated III money, amounts to two hundred
millions OF dollars annually in the United States
This data is not is founded on various
government returns, by which il appears that the
result Of the emigration and its effects in checking
consumption, estimated in all branches of trade and

when estimated IN money, amounts to at least
i0,000,Oo0 pounds sterling annually. THIS drop is
taken out oil the bucket Of England and is put into
