Emigration to the United States.
Six months ago, 7,000 tailors were out of employ in London. They had a meeting and the tailor's societies agreed to assist all who would go to America. To effect this, a passage ticket to America was furnished for £2 10s., which cost the companies £3 10s. A large portion of these tailors have already reached this country.
By the last steamer we received information that 8,000 stone cutters are out of employment in England. These knights of the hammer will be here in April. In addition, it is believed, that 200,000 emigrants will leave Ireland next spring and summer for the U. States.—Preparations are making on a large scale to assist all who wish to leave the Emerald Isle.
