This sears to me much overrated, unless the emigrant is 10 be sent to the very distant part of the province. The statement of similar description, in page 23, estimates the expense at Si. ss. one-half less than the preceding one. I take it, however, that the statement concerning the Lanark settlers, contained in return No. 2, and con- Limed by Mr. Robinson's returns, will give a fair average of this part of the expenditure, and that : the several items of expenditure cannot be estimated less than as follows : T HIS REGATTA will take place on THURSDAY , the 7th of September next, IN DOVER BAT.

The only practicable way, then, of lowering the expeftse of sending nut and providing for the emigrants, must be by changing thel place to which die* are- * be sent ; and in naming to the Committee the different places which suggest them selves in British Noriti America;as fit for the reception of settlers,lsshall endeavour to burg under considera tion the relative advantages and disadvantages of each. Mr., Uniacke in his evidence betiore the Committee, speaks in favourable terms of this province, and states the vacant and good disposable lands of the Crown therein at 1,500,000 or 2,300,000 of ;woes, which, if the latter case be correct, would be sufficient for 20.000 heads of families at 100 acres each. In sending settlers to Nova Scotia the voyage might be considered as one third ,hor, ter, and a saving be therefore expected in the price of transport; but not to the extent of one.third, as the difficulty of obtaining freight from Halifax would in some degree operas to the disadvantage of the ship. A saving from( the place of disembarkation to.the place of settlement rtsight also be reckoned upon. Meat and flour are, I should imagine, ot s mewhat higher value here than in Canada ; but if fish and pota toes were substitreed as part of the provisions to be supplied to the emigrants, a great saving might be made in this respe,t, and the items of expenditure might then be supposed to stand as follows: Voyage . Transport to place of settlement Provisions, including a cow to every four settlers, ai.d supposing fish and potatoes to . form a part of the rations Samples of the Sugar, of not less than Three Pounds weight nal ; of the Oatmeal not less than Two Quarts each ; and of the Salt of not less than Four Pounds weight each, are to be produced with the Tenders; and the Conditions of the Contract, and also a Sample mf the Soap, may be seen at this Office. Each Tender must specify the price to words at length, and be &livered before One o'Clock on the Day appointed, and the Person who makes the Tender, or some Person on his behalf, must attend to answer when called for. MINUTES OF EVIDENCE BEFORE A SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMOMS. ON EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KrIWDOM. (Continued ham the STAR of yesterday.) R. J. WILMOT HORTON, Bectimes, IN viz mat& Lieaa•Gl. COCKBURN delivered in the following statentept- In reference to the question put to me, on the 28th of April, by the Committee, the following remarks are very respectfully submitted : _ _ _ STAFFORDSHIRE. CAPITAL FREEHOLD ESTATES AND MANOR, There appears to be no . doubt that if an emigration can be duly effetted on an extensive scale, it will tend in a great measure to relieve the distresses existing in the mother country, to improve the state of the Colonies,l and at no very distant period to establish, in a per ma. nent and comfortable independence, many thqus ends of English, Irish, and Scotch, who are now experiencing all the horrors of beggary and want. Desirable, how ever, as it would be to catry through an arrangement so important and beneficial in its. general results, it should not be concealed that the doing so must of neces sity involve an expenditure of considerable amount. The evidence before the Committee would warrant that the average cost of conveying a settler from this country, with a wile and three children, placing them on their lands, and supporting them for a year, would amount to about 1101. or about 221. for each individual. Mr. Robinson's detailed statement, for the 568 emi grants which he took out in 1823, averages a few shillings more ; but the proportion of men on that oc casion was very great (a strong proof that 221. may, generally speaking, be considered as amply sufficient). The sum paid by Mr, Robinson, for the passage and provisions from Ireland toQuebec, amounted to about 7/. each ; it we,uld therefore be correct to divide the total ex penditure into 71. for the voyage, and 151. fur all ulterior charges. It will be seen by reference to a report, which I had the honour of drawing up for the infnmation of Lord Dalhousie, in the year 1821, anl which l.is d ship forwarded to • the Colonial Department, that 167 .isamilies, sent out from L enarkshire, averag , _d, as nearly is possible, five individuals to each family, the total number being 833 ; and that the expense incurred on account thereof, exclusive of the voyage to Quebec, was 111. 3s. 7d. each. But Mr. Robinson's settlers were provided with the following articles, none of which were estimated for in the enumeration of articles sup plied to the L mark settlers, viz. One Hundred and Eighty-two Cows . Farming utensils Assistance in building houses . Guides to show the lands • Seed corn and seed potatoes . Medical advice and medicines Shoes and flannel VICTUALLING OFFICE, LONDON, Apse 19,1826.

The climate of the two places is also vet y similar ; but I should take Nova Scotia, from its vicinity to the sea, to be rather the healthier of the two ; and the collieries iu this part of British Ametica bold out some further inducement to prefer sending settlers to it, rather than to either of the Canadas. If, then, these circumstances are considered, .together with the relative expenses of sending settlers to Canada or to Nova Scotia, it will, I think, appear manifest to the Com mittee that the latter place holds out too many advan tages to be overlooked, if any general emigration should be decided on.

Which, if divided among the 568 settlers, will account for near 14 to each ; thus making the expenditure on the Lanark emigration in 1820, and th4t conducted by Mr. Rubinson in 1823, nearly equal. It should, how ever, be observed, m m eking this comparison, that the Lanark settlers were chArged three shillings each fot expenses of survey, and five shillings and ten-pence ea:h for their patent grants; and that the assistance afforded to the Lanark settlers, after being placed on their lands, 1 was an advance in money by defferent instalments, amounting in the whole to 81. for each settler, whether man, woman, or child, and which sum would have been equal to supplying.provisions for them fur eighteen months, the full ration consisting of one pound of flour and one pound of pork, and each of the 167 families receiving rations in the following proportions, viz.—for One Mall - 1 full ration. • One Woman • • do. Two Children 1-3 d do. One Child . . . . * do. The Rtturns from which these calculations ate taken are herewith transmitted, and marked No. 1 and 2. A rt tut n of implements supplied to the Lanark settlers is also trinsmitteJ, marked No. 3. I have been thus de tailed in my reference to the relative expense incurred on account of the Lanark settlers sent out in 1820, and those of the settlers which went from Ireland in 1823. under the superintendence (if Mr. Robinson, in the hope of thus affording to the Committee a fair data on which to estimate the expense of future emigration.— In sending settlers to Upper Canada on any future ,occasions, I am not aware of any material saving which could be expected to take place. The 'l•he nest nearest place for settlements is the eastern part of thetCanadas ; .v;z. the district of Gasps; and however much it may have been hitherto neglected, there are few parts of Bii,i,h America better worth at tending to; this seems to be the very key to the St. Lawrence. The bay of Chalem affords many good and safe harbour. and anchorages, but none finer (indeed believe there can be none floe') than the bay of Gaspi. There is already a considerable trade both in fish and timher to this place, which I have•no doubt would very materially increase in the event of the number of inba bitants being augmented by directing a part of the stream of emigration to this neighbourhood. It has lung appeared very desirable, and for many reasons, that a communication from New Brunswick to Quebec, through the district of Gaspe, by the lake and river called Matapedia, and thence towards and along the shores of the St. Lawrence, should be established.— The quantity of good and vacant land in this district is very considerable, and the supply of fish (but particu larly salmon, herring, and cod), highly abundant. The objections to this district are, the very few inhabi tants, the small proportion of land which has been im proved owing to the greater part of the inhabitants living by fishing rather than by agricu! tore, the small supply ot ca;tle and other provisions, the great want of roads, and the coldness of the climate. With respect to th e latter, the inhabitants have, however, invariably stated it to be quite as good or better than Quebec. Most of these objections would evidently and gradually diminish as the country was se,tled, and the district of Gasl6,nO doubt, become as valuable a possession to the mother country as any part of British America, the attention of i Government once directed to this place ; and I cannot
