EMIGRATION PROM GREAT BR1rAIx IN 1885,
The total emigration was 10000. Of whom 07,-
600 emigrated to the United States. The Albion
says;
These figures show that while about oue-half
of the emigration to Australia and the whole to
New Zealand are composed of Englishmen, more
composed Of Irishmen. The Mormon exodus
continues on the increase, the number who have
sailed from Liverpool to American ports on their
way to Utah during the past twelve months,
being upwards of 1000. Accounts from the
Great Salt Lake show, however, that considers.
BILE numbers are continually leaving 'the New
more decent cities in. the United States"

The vanity Of riches is seldom illustrate
so strikingly as in the case of the great En-
g'ish millionaire, Morrison, who died worth
320, 000, 900. 1t seems to be one of the
conditions Of the accumulation of enormous
wealth in . single generation that the po-
ssessor shall first disqualfy himself from
ENJOYING il and in some cases, even from
approaching the fact that he holds it. Mr..
Morrison accumulated this almost fabulous
amount himself in the regular course Of his
business without and extraordinary turn OF
of fortune vet the following extract from
letter in the Bostos Post shows how little
benefit ne permitted himself to reeve from
all his wealth What a satire it is upon the
exclusive devotion Of all the faculties to the
mere accumulation Of property.
"Mr Morrison retired from active business
several wears since withnut Withdrawing his
capital from the mercantile house, and
though managing his vast funds himself up
to the time Of his death with all the sagacity
Of earlier days, he has for the last three
wears been possessed with the idea that he
should csme to want More than two years
aga he commenced doing day lapor upon a
farm held by one Of hIs tenants, for which
he received twelve shillings 4 week, and
this he continued mp ta the time ofhis Illness.
For the last eighteen months he mas been a
regular applicant for relief to the parish,
assembling twire a week with the town
pauners at the door Of the Union and re-
c-vinc with each one Of them his two
shilIings and qurtern loaf. His friends
have INDUCED him in these fancies on thu
ground that it WIS the best choice OF two
evils The truth is. money was his god, and
the ida became at last too great for him and
broke him down And yet he is said to have
made most judicious will, and his invest

DAYTON BRIDGE-We should have men.
toned in our last, that the Free Bridge
across Fox River at day ton is now flashed,
and open to all the world. A free bridge at
this point was erected some four years ago,
at a cost of some two thousand dellars, rails
ed by private subscription, the heavier pro-
portion of which was made up by those en-
ergetic and sterling business men, the
Messrs. GREEN; but during the terrible
freshet last spring was carried off. Nothing
Gaunted, the Messrs. Green went TO work
again this summer, and with trifing aid
from the county, and more from the people
OF Dayton and the farmers Of Rutland, have
just completed a much more costly and SUBJ
s,antial bridge than the previous one. Such
energy and public spirit deserves to be re-
warded, and the way to do it is, to patron
ize literally tn, splendid new Touring mill
erected by the Messrs Green at Dayton, aud
their deservingly popular wooden factory at
the same place.

SLAVES Held IN Iowa-NoEE BEAUTIES OF
THE DRED SCoTT DECISION. The Fairfield
Gowa) Ledger is informed. on good author
ity, that a Missouri STAKEHOLDER has remov.
ed to Warren county, in that State, and
brought with him five or six slaves whom
he CLAIMS a right to keep and work on the
free soil of Iowa. under the bred Scott de-
cision. If that decision is not repuGiated,
such practical illustrations of its teachings
will soon be found in every free State.
We have seen the above statement. ac-
companied with more or less eqally menda-
cious comment, in every fusion paper on our
exchange list Some of these editors I'M
doubtcdly, are ignoramusses enough to know
no better, but most of them dishonest enough
to repeat such falschood over and over
again, while they know full well that there
is not word in in the bred Scott decision
that even the most distantly countenanccs
the right of STAKEHOLDER to carry slaves to
and hold them as such in a free State.

BLACK MA;L.-There is fellow in illinois
who thinks he has hit upon a first rate ex-
pedient to line his pockets with money. He
has taken up the idea that Bankers are n
chicken-hearted set Of fellows, and that they
would rather shell, out a few dollars than be
put TO any great Inconvenience on this &C.
count. Accordingly, he has addressed let
tiers to various officers of Banks in Illinois.
telling them that he has suffered badly by
the failure Of the Banks, and that he has
lost moneys by fire, and if they don't shell
out he will burn their property. &c. This
/ fellow made demand upon the Quincy
Bank for $97. which he alleged to have lost
by the fire at Chicago, and he threatened
him in this language:
have taken Bible oath to make your
Bank refund to me what | have lost i.y
them, and will do SO, or else Will fire the
property of every officer belonging to the
Bank. have no recollection Of ever having
broken an oath. So hepe you will not put
me to the disagreeabe necessity Of proving
to you while there that l never break an
oath. Send me the money, for by the eter-
nal God, / must and will respect my oath
let the consequences be what they may
Comply with the above request. and you
lose nothing; refuse, and disastrous will be
the consequences.
This letter is signed by Mathew Usher,
and it is dated at Colchester, Ill. We have
seen another letter, addressed to the officer
Of another Bank, and couched in the same
language, demanding $71, as the price of
his forbearance. We don't think he got the
money, but it is possible that there may be
men simple enough to Weld to his demands,
though we hope not It is not necessary to
inquire who Mathew Usher is, but if there
be anybody in Illinois of that name he had
better be making clean track out Of the
State-for lynch law will be quite sure to
overtake him, in advance Of any legal pro-
cess that might he sued out against him

NARROW ESc.PE.-Two boys, sons of
MesSrs s. G. and John Evans of Whitcfield,
aged about / / years each, on Tuesday last,
yoked up pair of oxen and hitched them
TO drag loaded with wood, then took yoke
made for calves and put their own necks in
to it. and fastened themselves ahead Of the
oxen by trace-chain. A little younger lad
sitting upon the drag applied the brad to
the oxen, which caused them to spring, the
bots at the same time falling down the oxen
and drag passing over them and stripping
their clothing into strings. The force w.,
such as to split the yoke in two pieces
leaving one half upon the neck of each boy.

CANALS OPES.-Thc sudden freeze Up
two weeks ago had locked up in the ice
some 1900, 900 bushels of western grain in
the Erie and Welland canals-a misfortune
which threatened serious consequences to
western dealers and shippers who were rely
ing on the proceeds to get eastern exchange.
The telegraph. however, brings the crafty
ing intelligence that during the present
thaw both the Erie and Weiland canals
have again been opened, ard since Tuesday
boats and vessels have been moving freely
in these canals.
We believe no attempt mas been made,
and none is contemplated, TO reopen the H.
linois Canal, although there is considerable
grain locked up in it.

Colonel Benton has written an extraordi-
nary letter on the financial crisis, in which
he favors the suppression Of all paper cur
rency under $50 by stamp duty, and is
for winding up all deauting banks by a
bankrupt law against oeIinGuents.
Finally, says the Philadelphia Press, his
statement proves conc!nsivcly that the pa
mic under which we have been suffering is
the result Of .frigh'. He says there was no
thing in the state Of the country to Justify
the suspension. He points out that the
sooner resumption takes place the better,
and he adds, that there is not monarch in
Europe who would treat his subjects, or
suffer them to be treated, as the people of
the United States are treated by the base
part of their banks

Washington that "not only the Presidents
Message, but the reports of the Heads of
Departments will be supplied to the press
in the principal Atlantic cities, and to news
papers elsewhere when the reading of the
message shall have been commenced in Con-
gress. The same will be previously sent to
post-masters who will be telegraphed at the
proper time. With that view the proprcty
of such an arrangement is apparent, from
the fact that it will avoid Geographic blum

the newspapers at distance from the Capt.

NADIA and Of the adjoining British provinces,
did not suspend specie payments during the

to fortify themselves with gold from Europe.
There was no run, and little demand for
specie by biil-hoiders, and that only on the
part Of a few brokers in the States, who COL
