for any permanent and extensive advantage from any system of emigration, which does not primarily apply to Ireland, whose population, unless some other outlet be opened to them, must shortly fill up every vacuum created in England or Scotland, and reduce the labouring classes to a uniform state of degradation and misery. There are other parts of the subject upon which we shall enter hereafter, such as, the circumstances of those countries to which it is proposed that our emigrants should be removed, and of those to which they are invited, and the effects which such an immigration is likely to produce upon the state of society there. NOTE to the article on Mr. Markland's proposal for a National Museum of Antiquities. Since this article went to press, we have seen a letter from a gentleman who has recently been travelling in the North of Europe, which may furnish Mr. Markland and the Antiquarian Society with a valuable hint or two. We extract, therefore, the following brief account of the Museum of National Antiquities formed within the last sixteen years at Copenhagen. 'The collection is kept in part of the library adjoining to Tycho Brahe's Round Tower; has been wholly formed within the last fourteen or sixteen years; and already consists of upwards of 15,000 pieces. They are chiefly, I think, male and female ornaments, composed of gold, silver, and I believe copper and brass, though with respect to these last I am not so certain,-implements of war, and tools for domestic purposes. Some of the oldest ornaments are of very fine gold, beautifully wrought, and the gentleman by whom they were shown, said he was decidedly of opinion that the gold had, in those days, come in considerable quantities through Russia from the East. The implements of war are chiefly those which were in use among all the Northern nations; and though they are of all shapes, kinds, and sizes, I cannot take it upon me to point out those classes, which those who are acquainted with the subject would deem most remarkable. Those for domestic purposes are in amazing quantity, particularly hammers and axes. A considerable number, also, were employed for the purposes of religion. 'All these are beautifully arranged, through the zeal and intelligence of the secretary, whose name I think is Auderson, (but not English or Scotch;) and spearheads, axes and hammers are seen in the most perfect preservation through all stages of the manufacture; from specimens where they are found merely blocked out from a piece of flint or granite, up to the perfect, polished, and unused state; and then again downwards through every degree of tear and wear, mending, and decay. The way in which metals and stones are employed and joined together also very curious, from the tipping of spears and edging of axes with iron and steel, till the axes and hammers come to be wholly formed of the former metal. "This Museum of Northern Antiquities is reckoned by manyt o be more intrinsically valuable than any other collection at Copenhagen, and with the exception of the splendid Public Royal Library, I should think it may be fairly so considered. No pursuit seems now to be carried on in Denmark with so much enthusiasm as the collection of national antiquities, and the publication of national antiquarian books. "I ought not to omit to mention, that one of the subjects which has most engaged the attention of the members or managers of this collection is, how they could best prevent any specimens of antiquity which might be discovered throughout the country from being lost to the society. For this purpose they have taken all means of making it generally known over the country, that they are ever ready to give a larger price for such articles than individuals are likely to obtain elsewhere; and, by the way, they have found no sort of advertisement half so effectual, as the insertion of a paragraph to this effect in the common almanacs.'
