AMPUTATION OF LEG UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CHLOROFORM. - We are informed that Catherine CLARKE, an inmate of The Bailieborough union workhouse, underwent amputation of a leg for cancer on Tuesday, the 24th ult., in the workhouse infirmary of that union. The interesting and serious operation was performed by James Taylour, Esq., medical officer of the Bailieborough union workhouse. Under the full and beneficial influence of chloroform the patient remained perfectly insensible to every sense of pain during every stage of the operation and is now going on well.
Near the village of Stotfield are rocks known as "Sheepie's Silver Rocks," popularly supposed to contain silver ore. Some eighty years ago a mine was actually begun there for silver, and the works were carried on for some time, though without much profit. At last a labourer was accidentally killed at the works, and operations were forthwith abandoned. In the course of last year a mining firm in London and the Isle of Man hard that lead ore was to be found in that neighbourhood of Stotfield, and they sent down a person to survey and report. He selected a sample of the ore, and on analysis it has been found to contain only a small portion of silver, but as much as seventy-five per cent of lead. - Inverness Courier.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.
The following letter has been received by Mr. Vere FOSTER, and is deserving of all consideration by those who believe in remedying the grievances of the country by draining it of the population:-
"Emigration Office, Toronto, Feb. 5, 1852."
"Sir - I have read with much interest your address to persons intending to emigrate to North America. It contains valuable information, and if emigrants could be induced to follow your advice, they would escape much suffering as well as imposition.
The additional information which I am able to impart with respect to Upper Canada is important to a numerous class in Ireland. Unskilled labour is much required at present and will be still more in demand as the season advances. Common labourers on the Great Western Railway Line from Hamilton to Windsor, opposite Detroit, and on the Northern Lines leading from this city to Lake Huron, obtain 6 to 7 York shillings (3s. 1-1/2d. to 3s. 8d. sterling) per day, and many thousands will, I feel confident, be sure of steady employment on these or other routes now under survey at a dollar a day throughout the ensuing summer.
The construction of such works always creates a demand for mechanics, and a considerable number of carpenters, masons, and bricklayers will be wanted, and may depend on getting from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 dollars per day, if they understand their business. You will, no doubt, see by the newspapers that the Imperial Government has offered its aid to construct a grand trunk railway line from Halifax to Quebec, and that the work will in all probability commence in June or July. Should our expectations be fulfilled, not only thousands but tens of thousands of our suffering able-bodied poor will be sure of employment at good wages, if able to reach the localities where their work will be required.
With reference to the 61,000 young women whom you mention as being employed in the unions, I can only say that if your local authorities think proper to send, say 1,500 healthy, decent young women, in parties of 500 each, to Canada, I would find place for that number in this section of the province. Their passages should be paid from Quebec to this city; and the amount, say 2-1/4 dollars each, remitted to A. C. Buchanan, Esq., (Governor Emigration Agent), at Quebec, who will see it properly applied. In addition to this, each girl should get a dollar more (4s. 2d. sterling), as they require many little necessaries on arrival at Toronto; besides, some little time must necessarily occur before they get into work, and rough it like young men. The remittance should be made by the mail line steamers on or before the embarkation of the young women, via New York or Boston, so as to be sure of its reaching Quebec before their arrival, to afford time to Mr. Buchanan to make arrangements for receiving and forwarding them without delay. The parties should embark so as to reach Quebec in June, July, and August.
(Signed) "A. B. HAWKE,
"Chief Emigrant Agent for Upper Canada.
KILDARE ELECTION. - Upon the close of our publication, we have been informed upon the authority of a gentleman who was shown the letter, that the Duke of Leinster has written to Mr. Connor HENCHY, stating that in the event of his becoming a candidate for Kildare, he should have his Grace's support. It remains now to be seen how the cards will turn up - what game Mr. COGAN will play - and if he will retire in favour of Mr. Henchy. - Leinster Express.
On Thursday morning, 26th ult., the Rev. Eugene TROY, Roman Catholic Curate of Armagh, was found dead in his bed, at the residence of Doctor CULLEN. During the last summer the reverend gentleman was seized with fever contracted in discharge of his duties as a chaplain of the workhouse. The attack was of a severe character, and the reverend gentleman never completely rallied. The immediate cause of his death was, however, an attack of gout.
