it would have afforded them a few years ago to leave
their isolated shores for a fair in Galway, where they
possibly might be detained two or three days by some
change in the weather. Some thirty or forty of them,
who have left this town to day for Liverpool, on their
passage to America, seemed quite unconcerned at their
expatriation. They were fine young men and women,
admirable specimens of the Irish peasant before famine
had bowed his frame or crushed his spirit.''—The
Clonmel Chronicle says:—" An unusually large number
of emigrants passed through this town on Patrick's Day,
on their way to Liverpool for embarkation. Our attention
was particularly arrested by the respectable appearance
of one party; upon inquiry, we found them to be
persons from the Knocklofty estate, who have been
enabled by the Earl Donoughmore to emigrate with their
families to America. They consisted of about thirty-five
individuals, all comfortably clothed, and furnished with
ample supplies for a voyage across the Atlantic. The
noble earl's house-steward accompanied this batch, with
orders to provide in every way for their comfort on the
passage from Waterford and Liverpool, while his lordship
has taken his departure from Knocklofty so as to
meet them at the latter port, that he may personally
secure for his dependants good berths and every
accommodation on board the emigrant vessel."

A full meeting of the Working Man's Emigration
Society was held on the 22nd, at the Temperance Hall,
Broadway, Westminster, Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P.,
in the chair, for the purpose of receiving an explanation
of the means and objects of the Society. The chairman,
while expressing his conviction that at no time had the
lot of the agricultural labourer been more prosperous
than it now was, enforced the desirability of opening to
the industrious a way from a country where labour is in
excess, to another where it is greatly needed. The
society enable men to go out by the aid of the funds
resulting from the common subscriptions, priority being
determined by ballot. Six persons had secured passages
under these arrangements, and several others would
receive the same aid in a few days, the society receiving
the same security of two persons for repayment. A
number of questions respecting the operations of the
society were put and answered, and resolutions approving
of the society and its aim were passed before the meeting
separated.

NARRATIVE OF FOREIGN EVENTS

The intelligence from France is of little political
interest. A painful sensation was created in Paris by the
suicide of Count Camarata, a cousin of the Emperor,
who shot himself on the 4th inst. He was the son of
the Princess Bacciochi, and grandson of the Princess
Eliza, the eldest sister of Napoleon I. He was 27
years old, and unmarried. For some time past he had
been speculating very deeply at the Bourse, and had
lately been embarrassed for money. His death was
immediately followed by the suicide of Mlle. Marthe, the
actress, a great favourite with the public. She was in
London when the news of the Count's death reached
her. She hastened to Paris; and on her arrival
received a small box which he had sent her. Soon
afterwards she was visited by a Commissary of Police, who
demanded the box, and, on her refusal to say where it
was deposited, made a strict search in her apartments.
Next morning she was found dead in her bedroom,
having suffocated herself with the fumes of charcoal. On
the Sunday following she was buried in the Cimetière
Montmartre, and the corpse was followed to the
grave by a large number of actresses, dressed in deep
mourning. Madame Doche was one of the pall-bearers.
M. Samson, of the Théâtre Français, and many other
actors, were present. During this ceremony not a word
was spoken. There was scarcely a dry eye among the
crowd that surrounded the grave, and many of the
actresses sobbed audibly. After a ball lately given by
the Senate, a quantity of jewellery—rings, pins, and
bracelets—was picked up in the drawing-rooms.
Extraordinary pains were taken to restore the precious
ornaments to their fair owners, and a public advertisement
was even inserted in the journals, stating that
ladies who had lost jewels might have them upon
application and a "proper description of the property." The
ball committee, who had a large chest of glittering
baubles in its custody, was much surprised at finding no
claimants come forward. But a close examination
disclosed the terrible fact that all the jewels were false.
But little expectation is entertained that the
committee will ever be called upon to account for their
trust.

The Emperor of Austria has entirely recovered
from the effects of the wound he received from the
assassin who attempted his life. Four persons of note
connected with the revolutionary movements in
Hungary were executed at Pesth on the 3rd of March.
Karl Juhbal was a tutor of Kossuth's sister's
children, and an active agent in preparing for a new
outbreak. Noszlopy was a magistrate and member of
the Defence Committee in 1849. Sarközy was a private
soldier, messenger between Pesth and the Bakony
outlaws. Andrasffy had been an officer of Hussars: he
was arrested so long ago as December 1851. The
sequestration decree against the Lombard exiles is
severer than it at first appeared to be. On behalf of
the Emperor, Radetzky has announced, from the
fortress of Verona, that the sequestration includes not
only those who may not, but those who may have
obtained permission to emigrate: whoever may be
considered a political refugee shall lose the whole of his
property; no regard will be paid to contracts or legal
liens on that property. Everybody and anybody
appointed to administer the decree of confiscation must
do so under the heaviest pecuniary penalties. The
consequences of this decree are tremendous, as it
includes a host of Lombard exiles, who, with the
permission of Austria, had become citizens of Piedmont.
Among them are Count Borromeo, Marquis Pallavinini
Trivulsio, Count Enrico Martini, Count Gabrio
Casati, and Count Ercole Oldofredi. The value of the
property is very great. It is said that the Sardinian
Government has applied for advice to the British
Government. The Commission of Sequestration was
sitting at the Palace Borromeo.

The expulsion from Lombardy of the people belonging
to the Swiss Canton of Ticino has been carried into effect
with great rigour and cruelty. The valley of Erbonne
is a part of the large valley of Inteloi, situated in
Lombardy, but the property of the Ticinese, who reside
there. These people, to the number of 100, were
compelled on the 15th inst., to abandon houses, flocks, and
