The vacancy at Carlow occasioned by the death of Colonel Bruen, has been filled by Captain Bunbury ; who, on Monday, was elected without opposition. Within the last month no fewer than 2000 emigrants left the port of New Ross, direct for America. So great is the drain of people from the county of Mayo, that it is calculated three years more will, at the present rate, denude the district of agricultural labourers.
