The Irish journals give almost daily accounts of the
departure of Emigrants. The following is from the
"Waterford Mail":—"A ship has sailed from Waterford
to New York, with 202 passengers on board; and
the steamer Mars has taken away from the same port
about 300 emigrants, who proceed to America via
Liverpool." The "Tipperary Vindicator" says:—
"The tide of emigration flows on with unabated vigour
from several districts of Upper and Lower Ormond.
The crops are flitting away both by night and day, and
with the assets thereof the peasantry are going off to
America. We learn that several families have left
Nenagh and its vicinage within the last few weeks; and,
from what we know, the same may be safely said of
other towns in the county. Thousands, many of them
with even large capital, are just now hastily leaving the
endearing scenes of their childhood, despairing of being
any longer able to bear up against those ruinous fiscal
burthens which, thanks to the genius of British misrule,
are weighing down the energies of all classes, high and
low, in Ireland."

By an act of parliament passed on the 7th ult.,
additional powers are conferred on the Canterbury
Association, for the disposal of lands in New Zealand.
The association has the power to enforce their bye-laws
in the settlement before justices, who are authorised to
impose penalties for any breach of the same. Power is
now given to reserve and appropriate land for public
purposes, and the association can grant licenses for the
felling and removal of timber.

A meeting of intending colonists and others took
place on the 24th, at the offices of the association. It
was stated that the Council of the Colony of New
Zealand held their last sitting at Wellington, which
had given much satisfaction to the colonists, as it
afforded an unquestionable indication of the intention
of the local executive to transfer the seat of government
permanently from Auckland. The superior claims of
Wellington had been generally admitted, except when
local interests prevailed. The Provincial Council Bill,
the main objects of which were that the provincial
councils should be established in both provinces, and
that they should be composed of one-third nominees and
two-thirds representatives, and the possession of
freeholds of a certain value, or the occupation of dwellings
of a certain rent should be the franchise qualification,
was read a second time on the 18th of June. The
debate was protracted, and division existed on the part
of government. The "Duke of Bronti" ship, which
left Portsmouth on the 2nd of February, for Canterbury,
was spoken in 40 deg. south long., 17 deg. 40 min. lat.,
on the 14th of April.

NARRATIVE OF FOREIGN EVENTS.

THE distrust we last month expressed of the reported insurrection in Cuba, our belief that it was a mere invention
of amateur American pirates and sympathisers, and our anticipation that it might be found more
difficult than formerly to save the promoters of any such new piratical attempt from the responsibilities of an
enterprise so atrocious in itself and so unheard of in the usages of nations understood to be at peace with each
other, were receiving fatal confirmation while we wrote. Exactly a month ago General Lopez suffered the fate
of a pirate by death from the garotte; some fifty of his followers, chiefly Americans, but comprising also some
rebel Spaniards and two or three Hungarian officers worthy of a better fate, having previously been shot like dogs.
Of all this there is nothing to be said but that the savage doom was justly incurred. Whether the Spaniards
might not more wisely have tempered it with somewhat more of mercy, is a question which the future will have
to decide. It is quite evident, from other causes than its mere proximity to the American continent, that the
island of Cuba is very far from the safest possession of the crown of Spain. Its government is a disgrace to
civilisation; and supposing the real power of America once brought against it, what civilised state would
think of interfering in behalf of the only unredeemed slave empire on the earth? Even from the southern
states of the American Union, though disgraced by domestic slavery, the infamous slave traffic is banished;
and could France or England, by whom so many sacrifices have been made in this great cause, consent to
make such sacrifices, yet more frightful, as would be involved in a war with America, for support of a government
not only most degraded and feeble, but using those very means to prolong its wretched existence which
they have repeatedly denounced as the most iniquitous known to governments or men.

The constitution of the 4th March is at length abolished in Austria, and the system which prevails
throughout that empire is once more an avowed despotism. In effect it has never been anything else; and
the only circumstance to excite remark in the late circular of Prince Schwartzenberg, is, that the men who
have all along professed a perfect belief in the practical feasibility as well as abstract justice of this constitution,
are the very men by whom it is now abolished, and who thus do not scruple to avow themselves parties
to a shameful deceit deliberately and for ulterior purposes practised on the German people. A heavy day of
reckoning for all this will one day most assuredly come; and if there were any truth in the rumours which
have been floating about Paris, disturbing the men of the Bourse, and very sensibly influencing the funds, it
might be possible that such a day of reckoning is even now not very far distant. But there is not much
probability of any French coup d'etat at present. The President's policy is not to fight himself, but to let
others fight for him; and this the Orleanist Princes have been doing most effectually, by displaying all the
chicanery and tracasserie of their dead father, with not a particle of his talents or sagacity.

The Political Trials at Lyons terminated on the 4th
inst. The whole of the counsel for the prisoners had
previously thrown up their cases, because, (as stated in
a letter to the President of the court-martial) "they
were convinced that the dignity and liberty of defence
no longer existed." It appears that the evidence of
Police-agents was admitted with a latitude that surprises
the English reader, and yet the attempt to impeach the
credit of these agents of government was peremptorily
repressed. The defence of this course was, that a cross-
examination in reference to the character of the police-
agents would be concerning matters "not relative to the
case," and that "the police always refuses to give up
the names of its agents." When Gent, whose personal
character had been mercilessly defamed, attempted to
protest, "the President, rising hastily, declared the court
adjourned." It was upon this that the counsel, with
the consent of their clients, determined to withdraw.
When the court, in compliance with the law, nominated
counsel for the prisoners in lieu of those who had retired
from the defence, the prisoners, with one exception,
refused the services of the new counsel. The court,
therefore, proceeded without counsel; and, after several
hours private deliberation, delivered judgment. Thirty-
six of the prisoners, including a number "in flight,'' were
found guilty of having taken part in a plot at Lyons
"for the purpose of destroying or changing the government
of the republic," and "for the purpose of exciting
