DUBLIN, April 10, 1871.
Still the tide rolls on. English statesmen WILL
doubtless think that the OF Ireland is hopeless
since every panacea devised by them to remove our
grievances has failed to effect its purpose; and
think / may say that this failure was never more
apparent or more thoroughly recognized by all
classes than ut present. After all that has
been done for during the last two years, am nm
able to say that the people are more contented or
hopeful Of the future, or have greater induce
ments 70 remain
THEIR OWN LAND.
Whether they have greater inducements or not s
very questionable but IL Is certain that the lower
and middle classes show no disposition to remain
among us. PROBABLY English statesmen think 1t o
good thing that the troublesome Cet Is obliged to
go forth, and that his place shoud be filed up with

stones remedial measures ana OF Mr.. Disraeli's
tears, the Celts are going, and going with a ven.
geace. From north, south, east and west they are
pouring out like torrent all bound for the shores
Of the United states. The chief ports Of embarka-
ton are Queenstown. Galway, Drogheda and Lon
dondeuy. The following extract from the Cork
Daily Herald gives a melancholy picture OF last
