Ireland in America.-The New York Times

thousand immigrants arrived at this port. On
Monday there were over tpo thousand. On
Tuesday over fire thousand arrived, and on
Wednesday the number was over t~0 m0usand'
Thus, in four days, twe7ue thousand persons
were landed for the first time upon American
shores. A population greater than that OF
some of the largest and most iourishlng villa.
pes of this State, was thus added to the city of
New York within ninety-six hours. Every
sattinc sun has seen, thrown among us, men,
women and children enough to constitute a
town. And every year brings to our shores,
from foreign lands, more than three hundred
thousand souls. A city almost as large as
Philadelphia, is annually emptied from ships
upon the New York docks. More people than
live in any two other. cities Of these United
S~tates-twice as many as Baltimore, Boston,
New Orleans or Cincinnati--and three times
as MANY as are contained in any other American
city, are added every year, by immigration, to
the population of the United States.

How 10 Catch a Corn Thig:-We learned
yesterday of the arrest Of man in st. Charles
Parish on the charge Of stealing corn, who was
detected in a singular manner. Itappears that
the corn on the plantation of a certain lady had
been frequently stolen, and although a man
who resided in the vicinity appeared to have
more of the article than he was honestly enti-
tied to, it was found almost impossible to fix
the theft upon him, as 4 mans corn cannot we'll
be distinguished from his neighbors', when
placed together in the same barn. A plan was
finally determined upon for the detection of the
suspected thief. The cobs of corn were broken
at the top. scooped out, and ingeniously fas-
tened together again, after a small piece of pa
per with the name of the owner written upon it
was inserted. A few nights after a quantity of
the corn was stolen, and as usual on such occa-
sions, it was ascertained that the presumed
thief had increased his stock. 1t was then de-
termined to make a seizure on suspicion, and
after a warrant was procured, the corn was Ia
ken by the Sheriff. The man in whose posses
sion it was boldly maintained bis innocence,
and declared that the corn was his; but he was
struck dumb with astonishment and conscious
guilt when some Of the cobs were opened and
the name of the lawful owner found within
them. The party in whose possession the sto-
len corn was found has been committed for
trial. The testimony will be rather curious.
but it is at present believed to be sufficiently
strong to obtain Il conviction. The names of
the parties will be given when the case comes
up for trial.--Picayune.

The World of F'ashion.-It is not a large
world. Relatively even to this world Of ours,
which has its limits too, (as your Highness
shall find when you have made the tour of it,
and are come to the brink of the void beyond)
it is very little speck. There is much good
in it; there are many good and true people in
it; it has its appointed place. But the evil of it
is, that it is a world wrapped up in too much
jewelers. cotton and fine wool, and cannot hear
the rushing of the larger worlds, and cannot
see them as they circle round the sun. 1t is a
deadened world, and its growth is sometimes
unhealthy for want of air.--Dickens' Bleak
House.

Marks of the Conference.-The man is a gen.

with i~ncivility the humblest of his species. 1t
is a vulgarity for which no accomplishments of

man who desires to make every one happy

never to give just cause of offence to any one,
and I will show you 4 gentleman by nature
and by practice, though he may never have
worn a suit of broadcloth; nor even heard of a

species there are men, in every throb of whose
heart there is a solicitude for the welfare of
mankind, and whose every breath is perfumed
with kindness.

Immigration from Chiaa--The intelligence
just received from China, by way of England,
represents that the emigration of Chinese to
California is greatly on the increase. During
the past month six vessels have sailed; ten are
preparing to leave, and more are required.
Many who had previously emigrated have re-
turned with substantial proofs of their success,
and the Chinese are not slow in following the
example of their countrymen when money is
the inducement.

NEW II TRUSS
AND RUPTURE REMEDY,
WILL EFFECT A SPEEDY CURE

BY this Truss the following objections so prominent in
every other one in use are o~bviated-strong spring, with its
consequent severity, injurious pressure, and inability to
cure. And the following advantages gained: gentle pres
sure, complete retention, perfect ease and complete Cnre.
IThis Truss is entirely different from all others i'll form
and principle of action, consequently, efcct-pessessing
all the advantages, while it is free from the objections attri-
buted to the various kinds heretofore in use. The pressure
is more natural, being comparatively light in bad ruptures:
can be regulated and brought to bear directly over the heri-
nal openings, thereby aifording security at all times, even
the proprietor or S skilliul surgeon, the wearer is placed
beyond the danger of Strangulation or any other painful or
dangerous symptoms, which are not unfrequent to the use
OF other Irusscs. 1t is q very common practice for persons
afflicted with Hernia, to select a Truss aud apply it to them
selves. 1t is a bad and dangerous practice, which can be
seen only by those who understand anatomy, and are fami-
liar with the nature Of ruptures. Let it be remembered that
the best Truss may be injurious if it does not suit the form
Of rupture applied to. and is not properly fitted. Therefore,
] have concluded TO form no Agencies, but to sell and apply
the Truss ONLY at my office, 70 st, Charles street
New Orleans.
Observethc sign of the u over the door.
The following is deemed sufficient evidence of the superb
ority of this Truss.
) Having had numerous opportunities of seeing Mr.. Sher-
