SCOTLAND.
A large emigratioil is now going on from the North of Scotland to Canada : in two months no fewer than 6000 persons have left Aberdeen and other Northern ports; last week one vessel took out 330 emigrants from Aberdeen. The Feat majority are farm-servants, of both sexes, leaving a scanty rate of pay in their native land to earn higher wages in America with prospective independence in a few years. The encouraging accounts from emigrants of 1863 and 1864 have led to this active migration.
