EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE.

The remarkable revival of trade in the United States and Canada has, the Home News says, led to a substantial increase in the proportion of the emigration from Europe. So pronounced is this that nearly all the Atlantic lines have issued notices to stop booking for the present The special feature of this position is that numbers of mechanics are going, especially bricklayers, plasterers, and masons, from Scotland, Wales, and the northern districts of England, in response to advices from the other side that good, openings are now presenting to such craftsmen. The general prospects of the emigration trade are brisk. The German lines are already understood to be fully booked, and a considerable accession to the number of G-ermans passing through Liverpool is to be expected. The Swedes and Norwegians are fully to the fore. The attractions of the Canadian North-west, and especially of the Canadian Pacific slope, are distinctly in the ascendant, more emigrants having been hooked for British Columbia during the past two months than in the preceding year and indeed for a long time previous. Altogether the emigration trade of the current season in more brisk than at any time

during the previous seven years, and the prospects point to a long period of activity.
