calamity that it was in Ireland. On the other hand, it would probably be as fallacious to distribute the German Emigration over the entire German nation, as to credit England with a proportional share in the emigration from the United Kingdom. M. Duval especially notes that hardly any emigration takes place from Austria. I give M. Duval's statistics of the German Emigration up to the end of the last decade. Number of Emigrants from Germany from the year 1847 to 1856:—
| 1847 | . . . | 109,531 | |
| 1848 | . . . | 81,895 | |
| 1849 | . . . | 89,102 | |
| 1850 | . . . | 82,404 | |
| 1851 | . . . | 112,547 | |
| 1852 | . . . | 162,301 | |
| 1853 | . . . | 162,568 | |
| 1854 | . . . | 251,931 | |
| 1855 | . . . | 81,968 | |
| 1856 | . . . | 98,573 | |
| 1857 | . . . | 108,000 (total of the 3 years.) | |

I also append the Official Statistics of the Immigration into the United States for 1860. Immigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, 107,308; Germany, 86,675; British North American Provinces, 29,189; Norway, 8,075; France, 4,950; Switzerland, 2,704; Sweden, 4,523; Denmark, 1,769; Italy, 1,028; Holland, 1,314; Belgium, 1,185.
Of late the Immigration from Germany seems to have been on the increase. The following returns have been made by the New York Commissioners of Emigration for the past year (1866). Immigrants from Germany, 106,716; Ireland, 68,047; England, 36,186; other countries, 22,469.
