1,889 number for last year by 48,243. The
Irish emigrants have fallen off by 45,719.
358 The greatest number of emigrants that
20 ever arrived in this city from any coun-
265 try in the old world, was from Ireland,
73 in 1851. The decline in the present
120 year is owing partly to the success of
48 the potato crop, and partly to the opera-
14 tion of the Incumbered Estates Bill and
the hope of a Tenant Right Bill through
33 the action of the League.

18 The increase of the German emi-
6 grants arises from two causes; one is
the political disturbances that shook the
social fabric, and the other is from the fact
39,052 of the communes in some parts of Ger-
many sending out the pauper emigrants
.338,556
in cargoes, paying their passage to New-
York, and hence to the interior. Never
did half so many of the very poorest
class of Germans arrive as during the
last year.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the countries which have contributed most to the emigration during the last year rank in the following order Germany, Ireland, England, France and Switzerland. The two countries which have sent us seven-eighths of the whole number of emigrants, compared as follows for the different months of the year:

per cent. since. 1849. The total amount
of emigration from all countries to this
port, has steadily progressed during the
last four years, till in the year 1852 it is
nearly 300,000 and we have no doubt
that half a million of human beings,
from foreign countries, have arrived in
all parts of the United States during the
last twelve months. The great majority
of these have already become good re-
publicans, and will soon be thoroughly
Americanized by our free institutions.
