The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1864-04-02


Thursday the Inman steamer, the City of
Baltimore, Captain Mirehouse, arrived in
the harbOr at an early hour. The Balti-
more, on this occasion was employed as an
extra boat, in addition to the ordinary
weekly sailing. She brought from Liver
pool four hundred passengers, and took in
here something over one hundred, leaving
for Thursdays steamer no less than four
hundred more, Of whom it is probable not
more than half will be able to lind ROOM
The Cunard extra steamer which sails this
week will not only carry out full compile
ment, but booking for it was stopped ten
days ago. The emigrants now leaving are
of class that one cannot help regretling.

The young aud the old are to be seen-the
hoary father, the lettering mother, the fee
BILE child, have their place. But the bulk
is composed OF the adOlescent, or those in
the. prime Of life. Stalwart young men,
full OF health and vigor; young women, the
gaudy bad-taste of whose attire cannot con-
ceal that they have the beauty, the activity,
the bounding health for which the Irish
peasant girl has been remarkable. Among
them all there IS scarcely one to be seen
poorly attired.-Cbrk Examiner, March9.
Last week large number of well dress
through the town on their way to Queens
town, and to Derby, the steamers sailing
from these ports appearing to be in high fav-

correspondents that an unprecedentiy large
number Of emigrants have this week le.t
the neighbOrhOOd of Ballina, SwiniorG,
Sooey, and Ballymote, to take shipping for
America.-Sligo Ctampion, March 8.
Scarcely at any season have we in years
past seeu the exodus SO considerable as it
is now, when the month Of March has only
just been entered on. It Is no unusual
thing, on any day OF the week in Rallina,
to count 10 einigrants, between old and
young, upon one Of Bianconis long cars
and this three times a day, and at the same
time TO see the long van Of private car

numerous still, filled all Of them by the
sxme class, proceeding to Sligo, en- route to
Liverpool and America. We are informed
that no less than twenty-One persons from
a single parish within five miles Of this
town, are preparing and intend setting of

isolated case. The entire country would

A gentleman whose position affords Pc
culiar facilities for observation regarding
the movements Of the peasantry, has as

immigration exceeds all belief. Not farm

vantage Of leaving land and home; not 4
laborer who does not long for the means
which shall enable him to fiy from this
miserable land. He instances one case OF
this sort, and it merely indicates the pro-
cess which is going on throughout the
country, and which promises to leave Ker-

taken to remove the causes which excite

small hamlet twenty Ave emigrants left for
