EMIGRATION. The Select Committee appointed to invoke into the Expediter, of e ncouraging Emigration from the United Kingdom, and to-re port their Observations thereupon to the Home,; and to whom the Reports of Sessions 1823, 11124, and 1823, on the State of Ire land, and the-Esnploysnent of the Poor there ; and she the Peti. . . don . s and Memorials to the Colonial Department from Persons desirlous of emigrating froth the 'Jnited kingdom, were severally referred ; have, pursuant to the Order of the liouse, examined the Natters to them referred ; and have agreed to the following Report : Tout Committee are induced to consider, that the following im portant facts have been established by the evidence which they have collected for the information of the House t First—That there are extensive districts in Ireland, and districts In England and Scotland, where the po pulation is at the present moment redundant; in other words, where there exists a very considerable propor tion of able-bodied and active labourer; beyond that number to which any existing demand for labour can ;Afford employment. That the effect of this redundancy is not only to reduce a part of this population to a great degree of destitution and misery, but also to deteriorate the general condition of the labouring classes. That by its producing a supply of labout in excess as compared 'with the demand, the vines of labour are necessarily reduced to a minimum, which is utterly insufficient to supply that population with those means of support and subsistence which are necessary to secure a healthy and satisfactory condition of the community. That in Eng land, this redundant population has been in part sup. rotted by a parochial rate. which, *cording to the Reports and evidence of former Committees specially appointed to consider the subject, threatens, in its ex treme tendency, to absorb the whole rental of the coun try ; and that in Ireland, where no such parochial rate exists by law, and where the redundancy is found in k a still greater degree, a considerable part of the popula tion is dependent for the means of support on the pre. carious source of charity t or is compelled to resort to habits of plunder and spoliation for the actual means of subsistence.. Secondly—That in the British Colonies in North America (including the Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scot. and Pritli Edward's Island), at the Cape of Good Hope, andrin New South Wales, and Van Die rnen's Land. there are tracts of unappropriated land of the most fertile quality, capable of receiving and sub sisting any proportion of the redundant population of this country, for whose conveyance thither the means would be found at any time, present or future. Thirdly—That while the English, Scotch, and Irish evidence, taken before your Committee, appears to establish the fact, that this redundant population is practically found to repress the industry, and even some times to endanger the peace of the mother country; the colonial evidence, which has been taken by your Com mittee, uniformly concurs iu the opinion, that the in dust: y and the safety of the colonies will be materially encouraged and preserved by the reception of this popu lation. The unemployed labourer at home necessarily consumes more than he produces, and the national wealth is diminished in that proportion. When trans ferred to new countries, where soil of the first quality of fertility is unappropriated, and where the rate of wagesis-consequently high, it will be found that he produces infinitely more than he consumes, and the national wealth will be increased by the change, if the colonies are to be considered as integral parts of the nation at large. If the foregoing positions be correct, your Committee feel justified in recommending the subject of emigra tion to the most serious and deliberate consideration of the House, as one obvious and immediate measure for correcting, in some degree, t%is redundancy of popula tion, and for mitigating the numerous evils which op - pear to result from its existence. But in the prosecu tion of their examination of this most important, and comparatively unexamined, subject, they have not bad either the time or the opportunity to perfect that scope of inquiry which woul4 justify them in offering to the House ray specific recommendations, with respect to the manner in which it might be convenient to make any experiment of emigration on an extended scale ; they therefore propose to limit themselves to an exposi tion of the principles by which the examination of the evidence taken before them has been uniformly directed, and to a short enumeration of the points which have formed distinct objects of inquiry. They bare considered that no system of emigration could be recommended to the attention of Parliament, which was not essentially voluntary on the part of the emigrants, and which did not relate to that part of the community which may be considered to be in a state of permanent pauperism. They also consider, that it would be in the highest degree desirable that any ex pense incurred for the purpose of emigration, to be con tributed from national funds, should be ultimately re pal I s so that no gratuitous expenditure should be ne cessary, except in cases which might justifiably be made esceptions to the general rule. It is true, the emigra tions carried into effect in 1823 and 1825, under the superintendence of Mr. Peter Robinson, were supported by Parliamentary giants of money, for which no repay ment was pledged ; but those emigrations were fleets. sary for the put pose of experiment, and the justification of employing public money for that purpose was spe cially pleaded, on the ground of their being experiments which: were necessary to precede any more extended scheme. The principal, if not the only, objections which were raised against these experiments, rested on the around of the expenditure of public money which they involved being unrepaid. Your Committee, therefore, did not pause to consider the question. whether the benefits which might be ex pected to accrue, both to the mother country and to the colonies, from a measure so calculated to benefit both parties, would be sufficient to justify an outlay of na tional capital; but they proceeded to satisfy themselves with respect to the actual expenditure incurred in the emigration of 1823 (which, as an experiment, may be considered to have entirely succeeded), and to ascertain whether an equal or a less expense incurred in subse quent emigrations could be coupled with arrangements to supersede the necessity of any national outlay with out repayment. In illustration of the views which they entertain on this part of the subject,, they beg to refer to the following extract from an original papa, which was laid before the Committee of 1828, on the employment of the poor in Ireland, which is given at length in the Appendix to this Repo r t 4. 4 is coes . idered as unquestionable, that although t his measure is not in the slightest degree compulsory, that the poor man who offers his strength and energy as a labourer, but who, finding no demand, or at least no adequate demand, for his services, is compelled to receive ;wish relief' for the preservation of his own existence I I and that of his family, will accept this opportunity of bettering his condition, by laying the foundst'on for fu tore independence, with eagerness and gratitude, when sufficient time has elapsed, and proper pains been taken to snake him understand the true nature sad character of the change that is proposed for him. of It is equally considered as certain, shit parishes will anxiously accept this facility (as far as their own concurrence is required) of relieving themselves, at a slight annual expense, of any present and pressing re dundancy of population, arid also of securing for the future the effectual prevention supplied by this mean:, e for any accumulation of labourers whose services they may he incapable of remunerating. " It is at once evident that this system . of emigration could be made immediately applicable to Ireland and Scotland, provided that money was raised there for the purpose by local assessment, or that a specific tax was pledged for money lent for that purpose by the Go vernment " Although it may be argued, that there can be no actual redundancy of population as long as the waste lands in the mother country remain uncultivated, yet no person conversant with such subjects can contend that such redundancy does not now, virtually, at least, exist ; in other words, that there are not many strong labouring men for whose services there is no adequate demand, and who cannot be employed upon any productive labour that will pay the expenses of production; and if any person should feel alarm, that under the opera tion of such a measure too great a proportion of the population might be abstracted, hey may rest assured not only that this measure can be aucpended or limited at any time, but that in point of fact it has that sus pensive power within itself; for, whenever there should exist at home an adequate demand for the services of able-bodied men out of employ, whether from the in. crease of productive industry, or from the demands of war, or from any other cause, there would be no longer a temptation to emigrate. " It is also observed, that with such a system in re gular and effective operation, no inconvenience could ever again result to this country from a temporary sti mulus being given at any time to the population which could not permanently be sustained. It must not be forgotten, in a comprehensive view of such a system, that the pauper, for whose labour no remuneration can be afforded at home, will be transmuted by this process into an independent proprietor, and at no distant period will become a consumer of the manufactured articles of his native country; nor, on the other hand, can any calculable period be assigned for the termination of such a system, until all the colonies of the British Empire are saturated, and millions added to those who speak the English language, and carry with them the liberty and the laws and sympathies of their native country. " Such a system would direct the tide of emigration towards parts of the British Empire which must be', considered as integral, though separated by geographical position. The defence of these colonial possessions would be more easily supplied within themselves, and their increasing prosperity would not only relieve the mother country from pecuniary demands that are now indispensable, but that prosperity in its re-action would augment the wealth and the resources of the mother country itself." The number of emigrants sent out in 1823, was 182 men, 143 women, 57 boys between 14 and eighteen, and 166 children under fourteen, forming together an age gresate of 568. The expense actually incurred for this emigration amounted to 14,5931. Ss. which was at the rate of 221. Is. 6d. per head ; the estimate on which the vote was taken, was at the rate of 801. per family, taking the proportion of a man, a woman, and two chil dren for each family. That estimate had been calcu lated with reference to the following details :—a man 351. a woman 261. two children 141. each. forming a total of 881. from which a deduction had been made of a little more than 9 per cent. on the supposition that a combined emigration would be found to be less expensive than an individual case; but the total absence of all previous preparations, Mid a high rate of passage, car ried the actual expense beyond the estimate. It will, however, be observed, with respect to the emigrants actually sent out, that the men were beyond the pro portion estimated; if that proportion had been pre served, the numbers would have been 142 men, 142 women, and 284, children ; consequently the actual ex pense would have been 12,4961. instead of 13.5471. and in that case the positive excess ever the estimate would have amounted to 1,1561. Various reasons have in duced your Committee to make the calculations at the rate of 281. per head; in making their calculations at that rate, which has peculiar relation to the Colony of Upper Canada, your Committee beg it may be distinctly understood, that an opinion is not expressed that so emigration might not be carried on to Upper Canada• at a still less rate of expense ; for by taking the propor tion in each family at three children, which your Committee have reason to believe would be found to be a mote accurate proportion than two children to each family, the meats would necessarily be reduced in proportion. But your Committee are also of opinion, that previous arrangements, contracts upon an extended scale, espe cially if made for a series of years, and order and method introduced into the whole of the system, would enable a less sum to effectahat which has been actually effected in the case of the emigration of 1823, where no facilities existed, except in the assistance of the local Government of Upper Canada, and in the zeal an 4 exertions of the superintendent, r. Peter Robinsou. Your C3mmittee'would also observe, that the calcu lation of expense must necessarily vary in every different Colony ; it would be diminished in Lower Canada, in New Brunswick, in Novia Scotia, and Prince Edward's Island ; but if 130/..be taken as the maximum expense necessary to convey one man, one woman, and two children, only to Upper Canada, and if the evidence should show that "that maximum," can be repaid, it follows, a foiti9ri, that any Minor expense can be repaid with greater ease. With respect to New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, the distance naturally creating so much addle tional expense in the passage, the calculations applicable to North America in no degree whatever apply to these Colonies. With respect to the Cape f the only emigra tion contemplated has been an emigration of labourers rather' than of colonists; which equally makes the calculation of Upper Canada inapplicable to that Co lony. Your Committee have supposed that the sum 'd 'BOl. could be raised on annuity of SI. 10s. 9J. for sixty years, interest being taken at four per cent ; and under the supposition that such an annuity could be raised, their inquiries where directed to the question, whether, %opposing that the payment of such an annuity (Or the first seven yeari were secured, the situation of the emi. grant head of a family would be such as to enable him to undertake the payment of this annuity fur the re- mainer of the period, in .liquidation of the debt con tracted for him for hit removal from the mother country to the colony, and this without any prejudice or incou vsnience to himself, it being provided, as a necessary collateral arrangement, that be might redeem that an nuity at any time on the common principles of redemp tion, thereby freeing his land from the charges which otherwise would contingently attach to it. (To be cootioued.) LORD COCHRANE'S STEAM VESSELS. The two steam vessels, the Enterprize and the Irre. sistible, in which officers of the customs have been placed, are now lying within the tiers above Deptford Creek ; a situation which has evidenly been selected for the purpose of avoiding observation. On approaching them they give the spectator an impression that they are of foreign build, being totally unlike any of the steam vessels hitherto constructed. Their sharp angu lar appearance is one of their greatest peculiarities, especially as the stern nearly resembles the bow ; the former differs only in its more shark-like appearance, and it is said that the sharp point of the bow is intended for forcing its way, if necessary, into the sides of an ene my's ship on an occasion of close quarter.—They lie in low water, and are thus calculated to come suddenly and almost unobserved on the enemy. The burthen being only 120 tons, they of course appear much smaller than could be expected from the nature of the service for which they are destined ; but their smallness renders them fit for running in and out of creeks, and getting into shallow water, where they can throw with impunity shells into the sea-coast towns of the enemy. The draught of water is only nine feet, and when the -guns are in it will be only ten feet. Both vessels are calculated to carry from 14 to 16 68-pounders, and probably two or three mortars; for in each vessel the is a shell-room, and the extraordinary strength and size of the timbers seem to justify the belief that they will be much employed in bombardment. The vessels are about one hundred and fifty feat in length, and twenty-five in width in the beam. Each vessel has two fifty. horse power steam-engines, and it is supposed that the rate at which they will travel will equal that of the largest steam-vessels. There are three small-sized masts for sailing, but the reliance seems to be placed almost exclusively upon the steam power. Each vessel will carry from fifty to sixty hands, the accommodation for whom appears to be of a very limited description. The officers have very small cabins, and that intended for the Admiral on board the Enter prize is much smaller than the Captain's cabin in many merchant vessels. Everything seems to have been sa crificed to the warlike and important object for which these vessels were built, but as in warm climates it is usual for the crew to sleep on deck under an awning, the want of accommodation below will be less sensibly felt. The paddle-boxes are of a very peculiar construction. The starboard paddle•box contains a dressing•room and bath for the Captain, and the larboard paddle•box, is conveniently fitted up as a cook's galley, or kitchen. Taken altogether, the appearance of these vessels gives us the idea that they are likely to prove the most for midable engines of warfare which even the ingenuity of modern times has constructed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ANS lON- H OUSE. Yesterday, a person of military appearance, named ask Mill" was brought up under Sir Thomas Plummer's Act, on a charge of having violated the trust reposed in him as an agent, by fraudulently selling out a quantity of Stock, belonging to John Donnely, and appropriating the proceeds to his own use. John Doonely, the prosecutor, deposed, that be is a retired Lieu tenant et the 2d Regiment of Royal Veterans • he had employed the prisoner to receive and transmit his pay for km. Witness resided its Jump In 1221 be remitted 130/. to the prisoner, to invest to the Navy Five per Cans. This was done. Whoa the Navy Five per Cents. were paid at, it was recommended by him that this money should be re Invested in the Three per Cents. Witness sent him a power of attorney to sell it out of the Five per Cents, and a request to ns-invest it in the Three per Cents. as he bad suggested. The charge now preferred against the prisoner was, that be had re invested the money, not in the name of the prosecutor, but in his own, and that he subsequently sold it out, and used the proceeds. Two Solicitors attended in the prisoner's behalf; one of them (Mr. Humphreys) contended, that the cue did not come within the meaning of the Act, as an agent. He had received no money. rbe Prmcutor—l can prove that-I tendered him money, which be refused. Sir J. Pawls said, that to his apprehension it did not appear that the payment of money was requisite. He considered that a man was as agent who undertook to act for another, whether he was paid for it or not, and that the statute did not contemplate any limited= of the nature contended for by the Learned Gentleman. Mr. Humphreys said, that at the most, the offence upon the pro secutor's statement was a misdemeanour ? and not a felony. The other Solicitor spoke in a tone scarcely audible ; but we un dentood him to say he should be able to prove it only a debt. After some further discussion on the Act, the prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL Timms Hulled, a drover, was fined 10s. for cruelly beating a flock of sheep under his charge on Sunday night, on Snow-hlll, and 10s. for not wearing his badge. Miss Chtherfne Carter, a Cyprian of the first order was charged with assaulting Ann Turner, the wife of the organliower of St. Dunstan's Fleet.street. Catherine, according to her story, was looking on the pavement for a trinket, in fact, a false tooth out of her head, when Mrs. Turner came up, and insisted in joining in the search, and she merely pushed her away. Mrs. Turner, however, declared, that she attacked her for merely walking near the place where she was looking. Mr. Savage gave Mrs. Turner the character of an honest in offensive woman. The primmer was ordered to find bail for the assault, and the Magistrate told her, that unless ladies of her caste conducted them selves more decently in Fleet-street and its vicinity than they had been in the habit of doing lately, there would very shortly be a be display of them on the tread-mill in Bridewell. BOW-STREET. SHARP v. Maasnau..—The defendant in this case is Me. Mar shall, a cheesemonger, residing in Rosemary-lane, who was charged by Mr. Sharp with having attempted to " stick him" with a large cheese cutting knife, which had a very long blade. There were Counsel employed on each side, and the parties seemed to attach no trifling importance to the enquiry. Mr. Sharp is an appraiser, and was employed to distrait upon the goods of Marshall for rent. Mr. Marshall had refused to pay rent, on the ground that two individuals made a claim upon him, as the landlord of the house, and each having given him notice not to pay the other, he determined not to pay either, lest he should lose his money by paying the wrong. person. Mr. Sharp having a warrant of distress placed in his hands, by one of the parties claiming to be the landlord, entered Mr. Marshall's house, and told him the nature of his errand. Mr. Marshall swore by a ll was sacred, if Mr. Sharp did not make his exit as speedily as possible out of the house, he should " taste a piece of steel." Mr. Sharp refused to go out, and Mr. Marshall with a long knife, was rushing at him, when Mr. Sharp took from the counter a two pound weight, and flung it with the precision of David against the Philistine, and struck Mr. Marshall in the front of his head. He fell on the ground, in a state of insensibility, and was for some time in a most dangerous state, and Mr. Sharp was held to bail for the assault at the Thames Police office. Mr. Sharp now, in his tarn, became plaintiff, by taking out a warrant against Mr. Marshall, for attempting to " stick him ;" but Mr. klinsnoti. said the case having been partly heard at the Thames Police office, he should not go into it, but refer it back again s• she Thames Police Magistrates. hl A RY-LA-130NNPN Beck, who, we stated its our last, was stopped lath a gonad thy of turrets, supposed to hate been stolen, was yesterday brought up, whets it appeared to have been stolen from the mach. house nf. W.

Having of, money left to get him another luiging t and being tired with walking so far, witness laid him down on the steps of a door to sleep, when them= who ran of with Nis shirt tame to. him and atternyed •o take kis bat. Witness loolidd at tbe Man•Yello said, •' You look bud at me—do you know trier Wittiest replied, '4 Ye% I duct; I think I ought ; thou'rt the mop that took my shirt." A law fellow had been arrested tvn suspicion anal placed at the bar. He denied being the man, but was remanded. Mos Withers, a rough-east sailor, only ten days ashore, was brought Op for stealing three shillings front a mechanic of the name of Cotter on Sunday evening. Custer said he dropped four shillings in Broad street, and othili looking for them, the prisoner and some more came up to help hint to search. He saw the prisonet take up one of the shillings, an 4 wrenched it out of his hand, sod would have held him, only the prisoner was too strong for him, and got away. Witness called " Stop thief !" and the prisoner was taken by Kilmartin, the watch mao, in Karl-street. Jack stood a good deal of cross firing by Mr. floe, who pled hint hard with questions, which the sailor returned with true nautic it lingo. He came by at the time, but never saw the shillings; li t iii not want money or friends. ;bout two years ago he came hnino in the Rochefort, 80, Admiral Sir Graham Moore ; had since been twice to India; only left the Warren Hastings a fortnight ; only came up on Saturday; bad got a birth on board the Enterprise, to go out to Lord Cochrane; if he was detained he should lose his ship ; was to have gone aboard the Enterprise that mottling. Mr. Roe told bins he should detain him till Thursday, unless 1 e could send for the mate to prove the truth of his story. A well-featured woman, &entity naked, named ZAIRC, was ged with having attempted to drown herself. She cohabited with a man named Priest, with whom she walked towards Hampstead, where she entered into conversation with a man, who used her ex tremely ill, and robbed her of her only upper garment, an ()Id coat. She afterwards threw herself into a pond in despair, but was rescued by a Gentleman who was passing at• the lime. She was taken to the workhouse. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, Libby, the person charged with the murder of Thomas Tate, was put to the bar previous to his committal. All the witnesses were in attendance, and their depositions being read over to them, they were bound over to prosecute. Mr. BILODICIUT inquired whether the Captain of the Kent was present. Captain Parkins immediately came forward. Mr. Bro. derip banded the Captain a paper, which, he said, he was requrste4 to do by the prisoner. It was on account of the wages due co him which be demanded payment of. The Captain replied, that until the ship was gauged he could not tell what was due to him. Mr. BRODNRIP inquired how soon that might be ?—The Captain said about five days. The prisoner would be entitled to the 65th pan of the cargo; if he bad been on duty the whole voyage, he would be entitled to about 381. but as he was eleven months in iron., be imagined there might be 181. or 201. coming to the prisoner.— ' There was an account due to him by the prisoner. Mr. Berme', inquired for what? The Captain stated, that the prisoner had put him to great ex pense in consequence of breaking his irons, and escaping, when anchored off Zealand, the prisoner broke two locks which secured his irons, and effected his escape into the bush at Zealand. and he was obliged to give the natives several muskets for retaking him; the second time he escaped they were lying in company with another vessel, and he again contrived to get rid of bis irons, and got away in the ship's boat ; they overtook Nina just near the shore. The last time they were lying at anchor off the shore about three quer. ten of a mile, and he again broke the locks which fastened his irons, and jumped overboard, and attempted to escape by swimming. The prisoner, during the recital of the Captain, frequently ex claimed, he charged me 75 per cent. on things which he gave away to others.--that's not fair. The Captain said, that every sailor had a share in the cargo, and he pays all expenses, insurance, &c. and brings cut with him certain articles for the voyage, such as slops, &c. which he sells to the crew at the usual allowance of 75 per cent. profit. Prisoner--You charge me 131. for the muskets for taking me, and 111. Interest upon it. The price of a musket here is only 11.155. and you charge me 75 per cent. cm It again.—ls that fair? The Captain said it was the usual allowance, and appealed to the rest of the crew. He said that the prisoner was a fellow of most infamous character, and as long as be was on board his ship gave hint a great deal of trouble. Prisoner—lf I was a fellow of infamous character, why did you make an slicer of me ? The Captain—You an officer? Prisoner —Yes, I an officer; was I not the foreweerer ? Mr. Batman', bopedthat the Captain would, on the crawl being gauged, pay the prisoner anything there was owing to him, as his situation was a very unfortunate one. The prisoner was then fully committed. WORSHIP-ST REET. Yesterday, several men were charged with assaulting Thomas Cope, a street keeper of St. Mary's, Islington. It appeared, that yesterday fortnight two Goiden.lane ladies met, by agreement, in the Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, to decide some differences h r a pugilistic contest'. The ladies stripped and set to, and blows were exchanged in quick succession during an hour and three quar ters, when the fight was interrupted by the complainant Cope, I backed by some Gentlemen of the neighbourhood. The interference, however, was resisted, and Cope was severely beaten. Two of the prisoners, named Mayo and Load, Were committed to the Sessions. UNION HALL. ••• J.Jus Stalk and Hannah Odibs, about 18 years of age, were brought before R. J. Cnhassmis, Esq. charged on suspicion of has. log robbed a young man, a journeyman hatter, named James Grig, of his watch and hat. At s late hour on Sunday night, as the landlady of a public-hoax. In Church -street, Kent -street, was looking out of her door, she perceived the prisoners picking the pockets of the prosecutor, who was lying in the *vett, much intoxicated. The witness ( Mrs. Richardson), immediately said, "what are you doing there 7" when the female replied, " he is my brother, and I am only taking a shilling from him." Witness called for assistance, whEti Kirby, a constable, came up and succeeded in securing both the prisoners. On searching Collin, he found the prosecutor's watch chain, which she had secreted in her dress. There were other females about the prosecutor, but they could not not be taken. The watch was n.g. found.—Both the prisoners were fully committed for triaL TOWN HALL Joseph Lamina was brought from Guildhall on a charge of felony. Mr: Crew, shoemaker, in the London Road, St. George's Fieldi, stated that the prisoner came into his shop on Thursday night, and after stating himself to be prodigiously rich, as a Newcastle nue , chant, tried on a pair of boots, and walked off with them. The I prisoner said they fitted 30 close that his legs swelled, and he could not get them off again, and asked leave to go down to his Hotel in them to get the money, but this was denied. • The prisoner was remanded, several charges of a similar nature being likely to be brought against hint. LAM BETH-STREET. A miserable-looking woman, followed by an immense erowi, was charged on suspicion of h aving stolen an infant. A friend of the infant's parents, however, stated that the woman lived in the same house with them, and that she was permitted to take the child inc in the morning for a walk. She had lately been di.- charged from a lunatic asylum, and thungh generally quiet, she was at times subject to paroxysms of rage. Sir A Wausau' condemned, in strong teems, the conduct or the parents, in entrusting their child to such a person. and ordered iter to be taken, for the present, to the parish workhouse. DIED.
