UEayY EMIGRATION.
TWO Thousand People Leaving
Ireland In a week

The following extract from the Cork
E,ra,oiner of the 10Th inst, will explain
n anxious friends of immigrants for
Kentucky the cause of delay in the ar
rival of their friends here. Most of the
vessels mentioned below are reported
arrived safely from New York. The
Peruvian, it will be remembered, ran on
rock near Halifax. She was from Cork
to Baltimore and Norfolk, and had some
emigrants for the South, all OF whom
are safe and have gone forward by an
other vessel. The Peruvian is to be
taken back for repairs. The Cunard
line has twenty-three first class vessels
and yet has to put on extra ships to meet
the rush of passengers. The number
for Kentucky is unusually large. Says
the Examiner;
Judging from its present appearance,
the tide of emigration to America this
year promises to be greater, or at least
equal to any that has taken place for
many wears back That is indicated pot
only by the numbers that embark at
Queenstown, but also By the thousands
that come over from Liverpool in the
outward bound steamers, which, in con
sequence, have but limited accommoda-
ton when they arrivein Cork Harbor.
To make up fortne deficiency, addition
al steamers are brought into requisition,
Notwithstanding which, large numbers
are still left behind in Queenstown. The
Cunard steamer AbyssiDia sailed from
Queenstown yesterday, after embarkiug
