BY far that of any particular class; wnoie
villages, we understand, depart from the
home they have so loved, to find one IN the
New World. Great as has been the oe-
structon of life during the past year on
the numerous battle fields and the still
greater les, through disease, the accession
of the Irish will far more than make up for
this loss, and it is probable there will oe al

tide of population flowing across the ocean I,
to Us 1t is an extraordinary spectacle, ana
one which may well arrest the attention OF
the wise men of this age. Its affects upon
the kingdom of Great Britain cannot De
estimated. For many years the armies OF
that kingdom have been mainly recruited
from Ireland. There was the vast surplus
from which any number wanted could be
drawn whenever required. But now this
supply has suddenly ceased, by the spon-
taneous movement of the whole people
Where will England look for the supply to
fill her armies when next she is called upon

ton special:
1t is understood that as soon as the Con-
gcription bill shall have passed the House,
there will be a call made for 600, 900 or

piring, will offer themselves as substitutes
for unwilling oonscripts.

POLICE CoURT, FEB. 23.--In the case of
Mr.. Hardy, teacher of the West St. Clair
street Grammer School, accused of furnishing
Aaron Walters with undue severity, the lad
himself acknowledged that be was guilty OF
disorder in the school room; was told, as q
penalty, to remain in at recess; disobeyed
and went out. That on his return he was
called to account By the teacher and directed
to 60 into the recitation room; that he re-
sisted, and when compelled to enter relieved
his feelings, as was testified, by an un-
earthly howl" in advance of any punish
ment. That Mr.. Hardy directed him to stop
his noise, and aided him in it, little, physi-
caIiy. That he then feruIsd him slightly
and sent him out, partially subdued and en-
tirely angry.
It was claimed that the boy had been in
jured by compression of his larynx, causing
spots on his forehead, &c. FoHr experts, Drs.
ROsdsr, Strong, Cushing and catlin, were
examined as to the eGectof checking cireula-
ton generally, and in this specific case; but
nothing was ELECTED proving that the lad had
been injured, even in moderate degree.
Acting Judge Hessenmuellsr stated the gen
eral law in relation to the right of teacher
to punish for misconduct; holding that the
teacher should not be held responsible unless
malice were shown, or permanent injury in
Aictsd. 7Hi
"Every one must ses," said he, ain this
