ENGLISH INTELLIGENCE.

Emigration from the Clyde to the United States continues unabated. The emigrants are all of a respectable class. No less than 214 sailed for the States by the Perthshire. The number of emigants who have left the

port of Galway this year, and the Season is hot yet over, amounts to no less than 1,130. A vessel sailed from thence on Friday for Quebec, with 186 passengers on hoard.— Sun, June 8. We regret to notice the failure of the eminent firm of Briggs, Thurburne, and Co., East India agents, who are agents also; it is understood, for His Highness the Pacha of Egypt, in whose capital the house has an establishment. Their engagements in London are stated variously at from 150,000/. to 180,000/. — Morning Chronicle. The Antwerp mail brings intelligence of the failure of the firm of Genthe and Co., of Leipsic, a concern of some importance, their engagements being estimated at about 70,000/. or 80,000/.— lb. We understand that Sir Colin Mackenzie, of Kilcoy, Baronet, is immediately to place on the table of the House of Lords his case, to establish liis claim to the title and dignity of the Earl of Buchan and Lord Auchterhouse. By the pedigrees he traces his regular descent from Sir James Stewart, maternal uncle of King James the Third, King of Scots, created Earl of Buchan and Lord Auchterhouse, 1466. The Committee for privileges are immediately to proceed with the examination of the evidence . — Ross-shire Advertiser.
