IRISH EMIGRATION. - The emigration from Irish ports for the year 1859 amounted to 84,592, being in excess of last year not less than 16,506. Ulster shows the largest extent of emigration. The Census of 1851 shewed an increase after the famine of 1,622,739; but it is a startling fact that since 1851 there has been a decrease in the population of Ireland of 563,565.
