IRISH rt(LIGRATION AND FEDERAL RE. CRITITING. • [From the London Daily Times, March 22 ] There are ceram points upon which it seems as useless to lecture our Irish fellow-subjects as it would be a shoal of herrings. One of these is the necessity rather than the mere propensity which urges theta to the first stazes of social organiz 1 tion. The Irishman. must marry; he must belong to a faction; he must be in a conspiracy, and he must drill, with a view to joinin g a brigade, whether for French service, or Roman, or American, or simply for service at home when the opportunity shall occur. Perhaps if we look iuto the matter philosophically , we have no such great reason to complain that there is still in - eluded in the population of these isles so gregarious and manageable a race. The Irishmen who entered the Federal serviceon board the Kearsage have been very gently, treated. }leading guilty, they were let oif with a repri mand, and with an explanation of intended for the judge and the attorney-general, law by the a much larger circle of hearers than that urt co would hold. The attorney-generai very properly im roved the occasion to publish a few facts over and abOve`what an Irishman would be likely to learn from a recruiting officer. There are, he observes, more than a hundred thousand. Irish paupers in - New York, more than half of them women The judge kindly suggested that these men would perhaps like to see foreign -Darts, or to have a few adventures or get their passage to America gratis, but the truth is, a Yankee is quite as clever as an Irishman, or rather an Irishman does not lose his natural sharpness by American culture. So when the unsophisti cated Irishman - arrives at the other side he does not find himself quite so free to choose his own course in the hands of his Americanized cousins. The game of diritnoad cut diamond is dangerous to the younger and greener of the jilayers._ tint the truth is, these men were most probably only fol lowing the instinct of the country, thenturing their face to the quarter where they heard so and of strife, and following the leader. The leak once opened, the current will flow tnrough it,and still enlarge the opening. These aboriginal races are meant to follow the first instinct, "Be fruitful and unitiply," and the first command; “Re plenish the earth." They fall naturally into columns, and teem off to richer lands and kinder skies. The pretence is a small matter, the call and the opportunity are all they want. It is vain to tell the Irishman that he will be well advised to stay at home. We cannot offer him a. hundred acres gratis here, or eight shillings a day wages. Onr own laborers, who dwell amid the fields which their fathers tilled before them, even in the fairest portion of this island, where Oily can see the London smoke by day and London light by night, are glad to earn in a week as much as two days' work will earn in Michigan or Illinois. Dataoyer , OB C arrhuAL COPELAND.—We learn from an official source that General Copeland has been relieved of his command at - Camp Copeland.

Miss EMILY SHAW : Having heard how highly your 'Readings" have been appreciated in New England and elsewhere, we beg leave to solicit your kind offices in aid of the Funds of the Private and Public School Department of the Great Cen tral Fair. We will be much gratified if you will favor the project by naming an early convenient day, when we may have the pleasure to announce that you will give our citizens the privilege of hearing your Recitations or Readings. With sen timents of regard, we are Very respectfully, 'your obedient servants, Edward Shippen, Win. H. Furness, C. J. Stine, Theo. Curler, J. T. Thomas, Constant Guillon, Win. F. Judson, Saml. J.

SIRS: I acknowledge, with pleasure, the invitation politely extended to me by yourselves and other gentlemen of Philadelphia to give a Reading in aid of the School Department of the Great Central Fair. ._. . . I assure you I am most happy to have the oppor tunity to cast my mite into the Generous Fund your Fair will doubtless contribute to the Sanitary cause, and will set apart Friday !evening, April Bth, for the proposed Reading. Yours sincerely, - EMILY SHAW, TESTIMONIALS. Miss Shaw's Readings have been the subject of high encomiums, as will be perceived by the fol lowing Testimonials from those most qualified t 3 judge, viz: From Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston. Miss Shaw has much grace and dignity, a very sweet, sympathetic voice, a fine enunciation, and, to my ear, an almost faultless pronunciation. I found so little to criticise, that I feared I must be Wanting in the eye which detects faults. _ From Rev. Jno. Weiss, Watertown. Miss Shaw possesses power enough for imitating the popular exaggerations of some famous readers, but too much sense and simplicity to give it that direction. She is inspired with the desire to re main natural in tone, gesture, and expression, while she preserves every dramatic or tender ele ment of the author. There is no lack of energy and passion which Shakspeare or Browning re quires; but the feeling of the page is delicately shaded, and the true grace of woman clothes the whole. 4t. Miss Shaw has been kindly permitted to refer to the following gentlemen : Hon. Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the I Treasury. Hon. Wm. A. Buckingham, Governor of Cot n ecti cut. llamas Sears, D. D., President of Brown University. R. P. Dunn, Professor of Rhetoric in Brown 'University. Stephen A. Decatur. U. S. Navy. Jno. S. Dwight, Editor of Journal of Music, Boston. Chas. W.

The Committee on Finance and Donations of the Great Central Fair, appeal for contributions in money, to those of their fellow-citizens who do not propose sending to the Fair the Pioducts of their skill and industry. By far the larger portion of the money received on the occasion of the Fairs held for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission in Cincinnati, Boston, and Brooklyn, was derived from direct donations in cash, and not from the proceeds of the sale of articles exposed. What the Sanitary . Commission needs to afford relief .to the sick and wounded soldiers, is money, large amounts and iron!) all sources. We call, then, upon all bank ers, corporations, capitalists, persons hying upon incomes, professional .or otherwise; in short, upon all who will not be represented in he Fair by - their productions, to imitate the example of those who' Will, and to, contribute liberally in MONEY for this great object. In New York. although their Fair is not to be held for two weeks, contri butions of more than 8230,000 in cash have been 'already received, a single department of trade, that of dry goods, having made up more than half that sum. Brooklyn and Cincinnati have each contributed as much in money, and certainly the wealth. liberality and patriotism of Philadelphia can hardly be considered as less conspicuous than that of these communities. Contributions will be thankfully received by any of the members of the Committee. BORIE, Chairman, S. A. MERGER, SAMUEL WELSH, THOMAS SPARKS, A. J. ANTELO, • CALEB COPE, JOHN T.
