ONE of the most striking of the nu-
merous tables issued by the bureau Of
statistics on the subject of immigration
SHOWS the decrease of late years, both
absolutely and comparatively, in the
arrivals from Ireland. In 1851 these
had reached their greatest abundance,
the number being 22l 253. Thirty
years later, in 1881, they had fallen to
less than a third-to 7O,909 in the
greatest of all immigrant years In
1877 they had dropped to only 1871,
or to less than one IN sixteen of the
amount quarter of a century before.
In the two years 1851 and 1852 nearly
100000 Irish landed in this country;
but such heavy draughts on the popu-
lation of the island had at last had
their effect, and the tremendous out
flow fell of in quantity. Another
fact Of interest ON this subject, much
less generally known (says the New
York Sum, is that during the last thirty
years the immigration from England
has as steadily increased As that from
Ireland has fallen of. In 1851 the i'm.
migration from Ireland was more than
go times as great az that from Eng
land but in 1881 the English ;mmi-
grafton was more than 5000 larger
than tn Irish. In forty years our Eng
fish immigration has increased from
only 147 in a year to 7G,547. Once
more, while in the long period from
1920 to 1860 the Irish immigration was
more than twice as great as that from
ali Great Britain. and while for twenty
years it was three times rs great, ever
since 1860 it has been much less than
the immigration from the remainder
of the British isles during each sue.
cessive year, except 1850. That year
it made up Its average from the pre-
ceeding one, when the immigration
from Great Britain WAS nearly double
that from Ireland. Finally, Irish i'm.
migration thirty years ago surpassed
that from all countries combined, and
last year il had fallen to less than one
tenth of the total being smaller than
en- that from Norway ard Sweden.
