Annual Division of Profits. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. This invasion took place the 16th of December, 1837, a grAdual accession of numbers and of military am munition continued openly, and though under the sanction of no public authority, at least with no pub lic hindrance, until the 29th of the same month, when several hundred men were collected, and twelve pieces of ordnance, which could only have been procured from sorre public store or arsenal, were actually mounted on Navy Island and were used to fire within easy range upon the unoffending inhabitants of the opposite shore. 'Remonstrances, wholly ineffective, were made; so ineffectual, indeed,that a militia regi ment, stationed on the neighbouring American island, looked on without any attempt at interference, while shots were fired from the American island itself. This important fact stands on the best American authority, being stated in a letter to Mr. Forsyth, of the 6th of February, 1838, of Mr. Benton, attorney of the Unitd States, the gentleman sent b y your Government to inquire into the facts of the case, who adds, very pro perly, that he makes the statement " with deep regret and mortification." IThis force, formed of all the reckless amilnischiev ous people of the border, formidable from their num bers and from their armament, had in their pay, and as part of their establishment, this steam-boat Caro. line, the important means and instrument by which numbers and arms were hourly increasing. I might safely put it to any candid man acquainted with the existing state of things to say whether the military commander in Canada had the remotest reason, on the 29th of December, to expect to be relieved from this state of suffering by the protective intervention of any American authority. How long could a Government, having the paramount duty of protecting its own people, be reasonably expected to wait for what they had then no reason to expect ? What would have been the' conduct of American officers ? What has been their conduct under circumstance s much less aggravated ? I would appeal to you, Sir, to say whether the facts which you say would alone justify this act, viz. :—" a necessity of self defence, instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation," were not applicable to this case in as high a degree as they ever were to any case of a similar description in the history of nations. Nearly five years are now passed since this occur rence; there has been time for the public to deliberate o u p pm i c nio i calmly, n t ofoad and I believe ida c ndhononi.ab l may take lenieli, it thatth t e o be the British officers who executed this transaction, and their Go vernment who approved it, intended no slight or dis respect to the sovereign authority of the United States. That they intended no such disrespect I can most solemnly affirm, and I trust it will be ad mitted that no inference to the contrary can fairly be drawn even by the most susceptible points of national honour. Notwithstanding my wish that the explanation I had to make might not revive in any degree any feelings of irritation, I do not see how I could treat this subject without this short recital of facts, because the proof that no disrespect was intended is mainly to be looked for in the extent of the justification. There remains only a point or two which I should wish to notice, to remove in some degree the im pression which your rather highly coloured descrip tion of this transaction is calculated to make. The mode of telling a story often tends to distort facts, and in this case, more than in any other, it is im portant to arrive at plain unvarnished truth. It appears from every account that the expedition was sent to capture fre Caroline, when she was ex pected to be f oun d on th e British ground of Navy Island, and that it was only owing to the orders of the rebel leader being disobeyed that she was not so found. 'When the British officer came round the point of the island in the night, he first discovered that the boat was moored to the other shore. lie was not by , this deterred from making the capture, and his con duct was app rove d. B u t you will perceive that there was here most decidedly, the case of justification mentionedin your note, that .there should be " no moment left for deliberation." I ineiitiOn this circum stance to show also that the expedition was not planned with a premeditated purpose of attacking the enemy within the jurisdiction of the United " States, but that the ne cess it y o f so d o ing arose from altered circumstances a t th e moment o f e xecution. I have only furth er t o not i ce the hi g hly coloured picture drawn in your note of the facts attending the execution of this service. Some importance is at tached to the attack having been made in the night, board. livesthe persons s thatons on there The carelessness and the vess e l h av i ng b een set on f i re an d floated down the f a ll s o f th e r i ver ; and it is insinua t e d, rather than asserted, as givento theby the distinguish e d o ffi cer w h o commande d th e of expe dition distin c tly re f u t es or satisfactorily explains these assertions. The tim e o f n i g h t was purposely selected as most likely t o ensure t h e execution, w i t h th e least a ccount loss of life ; and it is expressly stated that the stre n g th of the current not permitting the vessel to be carried off, and it being necessary to destroy h e r by fire, she was drawn into tie st ream f or the express purpose of preventing injury t o th e persons or of the inhabitants at Schlosser. I would willingly h ave a b stained from a re t urn to the facts ,of this tra nsact i on, my duty be i ng t o o ff e r those explanations a n d assurances which may lead to satisfy the public mind an d to the cessat i on of all angry feelings ; but it app ears to me that some expla nation of the facts of th e case, a p parently misunder stood, might be of se rv i ce f or this purpose. Although it is believ e d th at a candid an d i m p ar ti a l consideration of the whole history of this unfortunate event will lead to the conclusion that there were grounds of justification as strong as ever were pre sented in such cases, and, above all, that no slight of the authority of the United States was ever intended, vet it must be admitted that there was, in the hurried execution olYthis necessary service, a violation of terri tory, and I am instructed to assure you that her Ma jesty's Government consider this as a most serious fact, and that, far from thinking that an event of this kind should be lightly risked, they would unfeignedly deprecate its recurrence. Looking back to what passed at this distance of time, what is perhaps most to be regretted is, that some explanation and apology for this occurrence was not immediately made ; this, with a frank explanation of the n ecess ity of the case, might, and probably would, have p reven ted much of the exasperation, and of the subsequent complaints and recriminations to which it gave rise. There are possible cases, in the relations of nations as of individuals, where necessity, which controls all other laws, may be pleaded ; but it is neither easy nor safe to attempt to define the rights or limits properly assignable to such a plea. Thismnust always be a subject of much delicacy, and should be con sidered by friendly nations with great candour neighbour? and lnai n f l o y r forbearance. ra ne e looked . to, 1 h a e n intentions t c e a n n t i i o t ns for e o n f tionally and wan a the moment parties m be s u u p s - t posed that Greatßritain would int tot i dt er pr i\ o l v a j o e k s e ty a ,s g G re o a v t e a r n n d m p en ow t e e r a f r u n l estly desire that a reciprocal respect for the independent jurisdiction and authority of neighbouring. States may be considered among the first duties of all Governments ; and I have to repeat the assurance of regret they feel that the event of which I am treating ,should have dis turbed the harmony they so anxiously wish to main tain with the American people and Government. Connected with these transactions, there have also been circumstances of which I believe it is generally admitted that Great Britain has also had just ground to complain. Individuals have been made personally liable for acts done under the avowed authority of for no other many brave t in h e e t i i r e G m o )o v s e e r d n m t e o n t p ; ers a o n n d al th c e o r n e se a g r u e en n e o e w s cause than having served their country. That this is contrary to every principle of international law it is useless for me to insist. Indeed, it has been ad mitted by every authority of your Government ; but, owing to a conflict of laws, difficulties have inter vened, much t o th e regret of those auth or iti es, i n thesegiv i giving practical diffigcul tiessome effect re itnoedtyhehseas principles, ibp3 all desired. It and f or It is no business of mine to enter upon the considera tion of them, nor have I sufficient information for the purpose, but I trust you will excuse my addres sing to you the inquiry, whether the Government of the United States is now in the condition to secure, in effect and in practice, the principle, which has never been denied in argulnent, that individuals, acting under legitimate authority, are not personally respon sible for executing the orders of their Government. That the power, when it exists, will be used on every fit occasion lam well assured; and I am bound to admit that, looking through the voluminous corres pondence concerning these transactions, there appears no indisposition with any of the authorities of the Federal Government under its several administrations to do justice in this respect in as far as their means land powers would allow. I trust, Sir, I may now be permitted to hope that all fe e li ngs o f rese n tmen t an d ill-will, resulting from these truly unfortunate events, may be buried in obli vion, and that they may be succeeded by those of har- E CONOMIC LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 34, BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS, LONDON.

CAMPBELL JAMES DOWNER, Secretary. CASE OF THE CAROLINE. MR. WEBSTER TO LORD ASHBURTON. Department of State, Washington, July 27, 1842. MY LORD—In relation to the case of the Caroline, whic i h we have heretofore made the subject of confer ence, I hav• thought it right to place in your hands an extract of a letter from this department, to Mr. Fox, of the 24th of April, 1841, and an extract from the message of the President of the United States to Congress at the commencement of is present session. These papers you have, no doubt, already seen ; but they are, ne;ertheless, now communicated, as such connnunicAtion is considered a ready mode of present. ing the views which this Government entertains of the destruction of that vessel. The act of which the Government of the United States complains is not to be considered as justifiable or unjustifiable, as the question of the lawffilness• or unlawfulness of the employment in which the Caro • line was engaged may be decided the one way or the other. That act, of itself a wrong, and an offence to the sovereignty and dignity of the United States, being a violation of their soil and territory—a wrong for which, to this day, no atonement, or ever apology, has been made by her Majesty's Government. Your Lordship cannot but be aware that self-respect, the consciousness of independence and national equality, an:l a sensitiveness to whatever may touch the honour of the country—a sensitiveness which this Govern ment will ever feel and ever cultivate—makes this a matter of high importance, and I must be allowed to ask for it your Lordship's grave consideration.— I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. Lord Ashburton, &c., [Here follows the letter of Mr. Webster to Mr. Fox, dated April 24, 1841, and an extract from the President's Message, both of which are familiar to our readers.] LORD ASHBURTON TO MR. WEBSTER. Washington, July 28, 1842. SIR—In the course of our conference on the several subjects of difference which it was the object of my mission to endeavour to settle, the unfortunate case of the Caroline, with its attendant consequences, could not escape our attention; for although it is not of a description to be susceptible of any settlement by a convention or treaty, yet, being connected with the highest considerations of national honour and dignity, it ha 3 given rise, at times, to deep excitements, so as more than once to endanger the maintenance of peace. The note you did me the honour of addressing me on the 27th instant, reminds me, that however dis posed your Government might t e to be satisfied with the explanations which it has been my duty to offer, the natural anxiety of the public mind requires that these explanations should be more durably recorded in our correspondence, and you send me a copy of Your note to Mr. Fox, her Britannic Majesty's Mi nister here, and an extract from the speech of the President of the United States to Congress - at the opening of the present session, as a ready mode of presenting the view entertained on this 'subject by the Government of the United States. It is, so far, satisfactory to perceive that we are perfectly agreed as to the general principles of inter national law applicable to this unfortunate case. Re spect for the inviolable character of the territory of independent nations is the most essential foundation of civilisation. It is useless to strengthen a principle so generally acknowledged by any appeal to authorities on international law, and you may be assured, Sir, that her Majesty's Government set the highest pos sible value on this principle, and are sensible of their duty to support it by their conduct and example, for the maintenance of peace and order in the world. If a sense of moral responsibility were not sufficient security for their observance of this duty towards all nations, it will be readily believed that the most common dictates of interest and policy would lead to it in the case of a long conterminous boundary of some thousand miles, with a country of such great and growing power as the United States of America, inhabited by a kindred race, gifted with all its ac tivity, and all its susceptibility on points of national honour. Ev..ry consideration, therefore, leads us to set, as highly as your Government can possibly do, this paramount obligation of reciprocal respect for the in dependent territory of each. But, however strong this duty may be, it is admitted by all writers, by all jurists, by the occasional practice of all nations, not excepting your own, that a strong overpowering ne cessity may arise, when this great principle may and must he suspended. It must be so for the shortest possible period, during the continuance of an ad mitted overruling necessity, and strictly confined within the n*rrowest limits imposed by that necessity. Self-defence is the first law of our nature, and it must be recognised by every code which professes to regulate the conditions and relations of man. Upon this modification, if I may so call it, of the great general principle, we seem also to be agreed ; and on this part of the subject I have done little more than repeat the sentiments, though in less forcible lan guage, admitted and maintained by you in the letter to which you refer me. Agreeing, therefore, on the general principle, and on the possible exception to which it is liable, the only question between us is whether this occurrence came within the limits fairly to be assigned to such excep tion—whether, to use your words, there was " that necessity,nt,self-defence, instant, overwhelming, leav ing no choice of means," which preceded the destruc tion of the Caroline, while moored to the shore of the United States. Give me leave to say, Sir, with all possible admirati on o f your very i ngen i ous discussion of the general principles which are supposed to govern the right and practice of interference by the people of one country in the wars and quarrels of others, that this part of your argument is little appli cable to our immediate case. If Great Britain, Ame rica, or any other country, suffer their people to fit out expeditions to take part in distant quarrels, such conduct may, ac cor di ng t o th e circumstances of each case, be justly matters of complaint; and perhaps these transactions have generally been in late times too much overlooked or connived at. But the case we are considering is of a wholly dif ferent description, and may be best determined by an swering the following questions :—Supposing a man standing on ground where you have no legal right to follow him, has a weapon long enough to reach you, and is striking you down and endangering your life, how long are you bound to wait for the assistance of the authority having legal power to relieve you ? Or, to bring the facts more immediately home to the case, if cannon are moving and setting up in a battery which can reach you, and are actually destroying life and property by their fire, if you have remonstrated for 'sometime without effect, and see no prospect of re lief, when begins your right to defend yourself, should you hav'e ,, no other means of doing so than by seizing your assailant on the verge of a neutral territory ? iun unwilling to recal to your recollection the particulars of this case, but I am obliged very shortly th do sd, to show what was at the time the extent of the - existing justification, for upon this entirely de pends the question whether a gross insult has or has not been otlered to the Government and people of the United States. After some tumultuous proceedings in Upper Ca nada, which were of short duration, and were sup pressed by the militia of •the conntry, the persons cri minally concerned in them took refuse in, the neigh- Department of State, Washington, Aug. G. Your Lordship's note of the 28th of July, in an swer to mine of the 27th, respecting the case of the Caroline, has been received and laid before the Pre sident. The President sees with pleasure that your Lord ship flin t y admits those great principles of public law applicable to cases of this kind, which this Go- N'ernment has expressed; and that on your part, as on ours, respect for the inviolable character of the terri tory of independent States is the most essential foun dation of civilization. And whilst it is admitted, on both sides, that there are exceptions to this rule, he is gratified to find that your Lordship admits that such exceptions must come within the limitations stated and the terms used in a former communication from this department to the British Plenipotentiary here. Undoubtedly it is just, that while it is also admitted that exceptions growing out of the great law of self defence do exist, those exceptions should be confined to cases in which the " necessity or that self-defence . is instant, overwhelming, that leave no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation." Understanding these principles alike, the difference between the two Governments is only whether the facts in the case of the Caroline make out a case of such necessity for the purpose of self-defence. Seeing that the transaction is not recent, having happened in the time of one of his predecessors ; seeing that your Lordship, in the name of your Government, solemnly declares that no slight or disrespect was intended to the sovereign authority of the United States ; seeing that it is acknowledged that, whether justifiable or not, there was yet a violation of the territory of the United States, and that you are instructed to say that your Government considers that as a most serious occurrence; seeing, finally, that it is now admitted that an explanation and apology for this violation was due at the time, the President is content to receive these acknowledgments and assurances in the conci liatory spirit which marks your Lordship's letter, and will mace this subject, as a complaint of violation of territory, the topic of no farther discussion between the two Governments. As to that part of your Lordship's note which re lates to other occurrences springing out of the case of the " Caroline," with which occurrence the name Alexander A.PLeod has become connected, I have to say the Government of the United States entirely ad heres to the sentiments and opinions expressed in the communications from this department to Mr. Fox. This Government has admitted, that for an act, com mitted by the command of his Sogreign, jure bell, an individual cannot be responsible, in the ordinary Courts of another State. It would regard it as a high indignity if a citizen of its own, acting under its authority, and by its special command, in such cases, were held to answer in a municipal tribunal, and to undergo punishment, as if the behest of his Govern ment were no defence or protection to him. But your Lordship is aware that in regular consti tutional Governments persons arrested on charges of high crimes, can only be discharged by some judicial proceeding. It is so in England, it is so in the colo nies and provinces of England. The forms of judicial proceedings differin different countries, being more rapid in some and more dilatory in others, and it may be added, generally more dilatory, or at least more cautious, in cases affecting life, in Governments of a strictly limited than in those of a more unlimited character. It was a subject of regret that the release of Al' Leod was so long delayed, A State Court, and that not of the hi g hest jurisdiction, decided that, on summary application, embarrassed, as it would ap pear, by technical difficulties, he could not be released by that Court. His discharge, shortly afterwards by a Jury, to whom he prefered to submit his case, ren dered unnecessary the further prosecution of the legal question. It is for the Congress of the United States, whose attention has been called to the subject, to say what farther provis:ons ought to be made to expedite pro ceedings in such cases; and, in answer to your Lord - - ship's question toward the close ofyour note, I have to say that the Government of the United States holds itself not only fully disposed, but fully competent to carry into practice every principle which it avows or acknowledges, and to fulfil every duty and obligation which it owes to foreign Governments, their citizens or subjects.-1 have the honour to be, my Lord, With great consideration, your obedient servant, Lord Ashburton, &c. DANIEL WEBSTER. COLONIAL LAND AND EMIGRA TION. The Report of the Commissioners on this subject furnishes much accurate information relative to the sale of waste lands in our colonies and other emigrant countries depending on the Crown, as well as correct statistics on the numbers whr) have transferred them selves to those places during the past year. From both these sources we draw up the followingsynopsis : SYDNEY DISTRICT AND PORT PITILIP.—The re venue arising from the sale of land for the year 1839 gave 166,578/. as the amount of receipts ; while for the ensuing year 1840, the total realised on the same account from both these land tracts had increased to the large sum of 317,2511. With regard to portions of land opened up for possession, a new di-trict is mentioned at Portland Bay, near the south-western extremity of the colony, and which was opened for settlement in the autumn of 1840. In the same year a valuable country of considerable extent, lying at the south-east extremity of the colony, was discovered by a foreigner, Count Streleski ; it is stated to comprise "3,600 square miles of forests, plains, and valleys, remarkable for richness of soil, pasturage, and situa ation." Oaher portions of the country to the north of the colony, are spoken of as holding out great temptations; they lie in the county of Macquarrie, some at Clarence River, and others at Moreton Bay. PORT ESSINGTON.—This, the only inter-tropical portion of Australia which has yet been occupied by Europeans, is now in the occupation of the Govern ment, and no private party has yet acquired a right of property in the land. Its harbour is fine, and its position most convenient for commercial purposes. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—In this country the reve nue arising from the sales of land amounted in 1839 to 23,2561., and in 1840 to 55,3051., and consider able tracts of valuable soil still remain in the posses sion of the Crown. The average auction-price during the past year NM 1 1s. 4d. per acre. WESTERN AUSTRALIA.—The course of improve ment here, though slow, is marked and constant. It appears that 13,666 acres of the public lands wer e last year sold by auction, at an average price of I Is. per acre. The total population at the end of 1840 was 2,354, of which only 1,205 were adult males above twelve years of age, occupying altogether not less than one million and a half acres. NEW ZEALAND. —The most important subject con nected with this colony is th e a dj u di cat i on of the dis puted claims, for the adjustment of which a Com missioner was sent out from this country in May, 1841, but a report of w h ose procee di ngs h as not yet b e en received. Two new towns have been laid out and occuped recently, one called Russell, on the Bay of Islands, and the other Auckland, situated in a more central position in the Northern Island, and which is to be the capital of the colony. At the first sale of land in the latter, 'it appears from returns, that no less a sum than 24,275/. was realized for forty-nine allotments, containing only forty-four acres, being at the average of 552/. per acre. The•Companv have also contracted for the purchase of 50,000 additional acres, they being under engage ment, under this contract, to expend 40,0001. under the superintendence of the Commissioners, upon emigra tion to the colony. CANADA.—The important Act recently passed by the Canadian Legislature, regulates entirely the disposal of the lands in this colony. In Eastern Canada, the price of land over the greater part of the country has been fixed at 4s. currency, or 3s. ld. sterling per acre ; and in the county of Ottawa, and in a district on the south bank of the St. Lawrence, at Gs. currency, or 4s. 9d. sterling per acre. In Western Canada, up to the passing of the late Act, the upset price of Govern ment lands was generally Bs. currency per acre, while that of clergy reserves averaged 12s. 6d. cur rency per acre. During the last year there were sold in Eastern Canada 45,896 acres, at an average price of ss. Bd. per acre ; and in Western Canada 14,697 acres, at an averao price (If Is, lod• per acre. NEW BRUN owToit,—fif this colony land continues to be sold by public auction, at an upset price of 2s. per acre. During the past year 29,416 acrea ware sold, and fetched the average price of 2s t 4€l. per acre. A plan was commenced liere last fear under the authority of the Local Government,' of allowing per. Fong in the condition of labourers to purchase small allotments of the public lands upclu credit, the pur chasers being required to RS?' into a bond t o th e Crown, to pay the purphase money with interest. A ;gm cf public money h• 64 likewise to be lent to the sett'ers to enable them to Maintain and establish themselves at the outset. Nova, SCOTIA.—The public lands have been sold here by auction under the authority of an Act of the Local Legislature, passed in 1840, and to be in force for three years. It is prescribed by the Act that the upset price shall never be lower than Is.; in practice it appears to have been hitherto 2s. 6d. ster ling per acre, and at that price 11,355 acres appear to have been sold during last year. Much of the most valuable land has been alienated from the Crown ; and the House of Assembly has it under considera tion tofix the price at ls. 9d. per acre instead of dis posing by auction. PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND.—A very considerable amount of land is still remaining in the possession of the Crown : 216 acres, in different Royalties, appear to have been sold last year, at an average price of 21. Os. 6d., and three and a half acres of town allot ments at an average price of 681. 12s. 10d. NEWFOUNDLAND.—The disposal of land here con tinues under a temporary arrangement, by which sale by auction was established at an upset price of 2s. per acre. The demand for land and the agricultural proceedings appear generally steady. WEST INDIES.—The mode of sale established in the West Indies is that of auction, and the upset price, if any sales occur, is not less than 11. per acre ; except at the Bahamas where the price has been reduced to 12s. per acre. In some of the islands, as Trinidad and Guiana especially, there are large tracts of ground still in possession of the Crown, available for settlement. In one instance in Dominica 63 indivi duals joined together and paid 21. per acre. CAPE or GOOD HOPF..—In this colony the Crown still possesses a large amount of land. The sale is generally made by auction, but there appears little desire on the part of the public to purchase; in some instances the amount received for land has not paid the expenses of sale. Port Natal is reported to be unfavourable to the formation of a British colony. CEYLON.—In this country the mode of sale is by auction, at an upset price of ss. per acre ; 78,687 acres were sold during the past year, the greater part at not more than the upset price, although some went as high as 17s. 6d. per acre. A large proportion of the surface of this valuable island still remains at the disposal of the Crown. It is proposed to raise the pdee to 11. per acre, and afford the purchasers greater facility in the acquisition of land. FALKLAND ISLANDS.—The Governor who was sent out last year has already furnished a report of the prospects of the British settlers here : there is reason to think that a hardy and industrious popula tion would find means of support here. In St. Helena, Sierra Leone, Gibraltar, and Malta, the extent of land for sale is of course very small. The return of the number of persons who have emi grated from the United Kingdom during the year ending January 5, 1842, furnishes the following view : —Emigrants from the United Kingdom to the United States, 45,017 ; to Texas, 46 ; to Central America, 106. British Emigrants to the North American Colonies, viz., to Canada, 26,362 ; N ew Brunswick, 7,291 • Nova Scotia and Cape Bret o n, 2,344 ; Ne w f o undland, 336 ; Prince Edward's Island, 1,831. To the West Indies, viz., Jamaica, 1,273; British Guiana, 147 ; Trinidad, 87 ; other West India islands, 623 ; Falkland Islands, 27 ; Western Africa, 65 ; Cape of Good Hope, 368 ; Mauritius, 40; Moulmein, 4. To the Australian Colonies, viz., to Sydney, 17,492 ; Port Phillip, 9,894 ; Van Die men's Land, 806 ; South Australia, 175 ; Western Australia, 357 ; New Zealand, 3,901. Showing the total number of emigrants from Great Britain for the past year to have been 118,592 souls. From a comparison of the emigration from the United Kingdom in the half-years ended respectively sth July, 1841, and sth July, 1842, it appears that the increase in the number of emigrants to the United States has been 20,476 persons ; to Canada, 14,347 ; to other American colonies, 1,071 ; to other parts of America, 24; to the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Africa, 79. Decrease in the number of emi grants appears in the case of the West Indies, whither 629 less have emigrated, and to Australia and New Zealand, which have fallen off 10,455 in the period mentione I above. RECAPITULATION OF "METHODS OF SALE.—From the fore roing statements it results that the existing mode of selling the waste lands in the various colo nies is as follows :—ln Canada by fixed price, in the Australian colonies by the mixed system of auction first, and sale and at the upset as a fixed price after wards ; and in all other colonies by auction slope. SURNETS.—An addition has been made, principally during the past year, to the surveying establishments in several of the land-selling colonies. The evils of assigning to individuals lands of which the boundaries a . - ,re imperfectly ascertained and defined, in however strong language they may have been represented, can scarcely be exaggerated. Many years will probably elapse, and much vexatious and expensive litigation have to be endured, before the defects of the surveys in some of the older colonies shall be remedied. We are glad, therefore, of any step which is taken to pre vent the recurrence of such evils in the new terri tories into which the superabundant capital and popu lation of this country is so rapidly pouring itself. Six additional surveyors and two draughtsmen were last year sent to New South Wales, one sur veyor-general, and five assistants to New Zealand, three additional surveyors to Western Australia, and four additional to C e yl on . Th e fi tness o f th e indivi duals who were sent, was in most instances ascertained professionally before they received their appointments. In the Cape of Good Hope also, where the arrears of business connected with the survey of past grants is stated to be so considerable, the department has been increased, and put upon a more efficient footing. The able Report of Captain Dawson, of the Royal En gineers, upon the best mode of conducting the sur veys of the waste lands in New Zealand, has been transmitted to all the colonies possessing such lands, and while much advantage in point of accuracy will, we doubt not, be derived from following his sugges tions, it may also be hoped that if his estimated scale of expenditure should be found sufficibnt for so intri cate a country as New Zealand, it will not require to be exceeded anywhere else. This Report has already been presented' to Parliament, having been published in the Appendix to the Report of the Committee on the Affairs of South Australia. CLASSES ELIGIBLE FOR FREE PASSAGE TO AIN TRALIA—The leading principles upon which we (the Commissioners) select the emigrants who are for warded in the ships engaged by our Board are, that their trades and occupations shall be suited to the wants of the colonies ; that their ages should be such that their labour may be available to the colonies for some years to come; that their families be not too numerous, both on account of the.objections to them by colonial employers, and also because mortality is so likely to arise amongst young children on the voy. age ; that unmarried females should go under proper protection ; and lastly that the sexes should be in equal proportions. It is possible that our selectio,n.s would be more acceptable to the colonists if we could include among them a greater number (at 4408 men. But the extent of the disproportioA the sexes in the Australian colonies is alrea.d,y Kt great that it pro bably ought on no account to he 'increased. By an analysis we have made of latest returns which have been received, it appears that in New South Wales the proportion of free women to free men is 3 to 4i ; of convict women to convict men is 2 to 23; in Van Diemen's Land, of free women to free men is, 3 to 4 ; of owlet women to convict men is 3 to 23; in Western Australia, of women to men 3 to 5. We conclude our analysis of the Report, by quoting the remarks of the Commissioners upon several im portant subjects connected with the welfare of emi grants. In Addressing themselves to the Secretary for tho Colonies, the Commissioners make the follow- . ing remarks : PASSENGERS' Ac',--We would advert to the amendments which we had the honour of suggesting in the Passengers' Act, and which were embodied i n a Bill introduced by your Lordship at the commence. meat of the present session, and now nearly through Parliament. The constant communi passed cations which we have held with your Lordship's denay , t, knetit u pon the subject of these amendments reud er i t un necessary that we should enter upon them at a length upon the present occa.sioa. Th e whole our suggestions, , to s suggestions moreoveA with the grounds lumn irn u. ll l, l ; ta i : they rested, were laid before Parlia ment — -- c" necusly with the introduction of the btheespluffiluceielpanti, therefore ob j ects of this law ll by your !,ie Qr n etahliPtermlst, may y t regulate th© number of tate in .31. Pauengers in each are, Ist, to ship, and to provide for their on 1 - 10 A0 j idly, to ensure a I °ter accommodation seaworthiness of tho vessels ; and sicmi and water for their I l i () , 14 . ,7" supply of provi 3T, to provide for the 4thly, to protect the emigrants. from various. stages of their undertaking the numerous frauds 'to which at and Inexperience expose them, rtaking their helpnessness rious that the provbiana it had become noto rious and of the most ketsettrse'ssiEngvilnsatoufregrweaetrem of 'the former Act had proved insufficient for tho* oil' tually occurring under it. It became our duty, therefore, to habi tually suggest such amendments as the ell- Rendes of the ease required, bearing, however, stea dily in view the object of almost paramount impor tance, of not so enhancing the cost of conveyance to the poor as to place the means of emigration out of their reach. A further purpose, winch we were anxious to accomplish by the Amendment]Act, was to regulate the conveyance of passengers from every Portion of her Majesty's dominions. The pelviout Act applied exclusively to voyages from the United Kingdom, but an extensive emigration is now going on from One colony to another, in various parts of the globe. Difficulties presented themselves in the adap tation of an Act framed for the regulation of voyages of considerable length, to voyages which might only last a few days. These difficulties, however, we endeavoured to surmount, for it seemed to us an object of some importance that there should be but one Passengers' Act, and that the same law should contain within itself all the regulations which the Imperial Legislature deemed it expedient to imp upon the conveyance of the poorer classes of her llas jesty's subjects by sea. Adverting, therefore, to the vast number whose comfort, welfare, and health, are y d i e v e c n i each tn e e etNt a r,vi le r sha nocou d at dhtr e he j e ; d: nayuetdl resultbsel a n e, ee t eno u dtc: i p efdta o ut z i,n i e tto t rhi h t yyngeeena recommendn t provisions xhieou oo s di amendments oiotterttnfhssettiofThrgptiiromsnont,Abositc! ot o iffi n o r nee par nwi s in tion of emigrants, both in this country and in the c th o e le s n u ie gg s, e n s o ti r on w s it a h 6d out ie al; r o es t ta in t g ioontws best p e ro ce at t ention l i ' s e i d o fr s O o ni t : the shipping interest, or from parties engaged in the passenger trade itself. It has been gratifying to us to find in the result, that all the practical the Bill, though avowedly of a stringent - nature, have elicited no opposition, but, on the c on t rary, h ave been generally acquiesced in by the classes whom it affects, • GENERAL VIEW OF DUTIES IN RESPECT TO GRATION.—Oar practical duties in respect to ein i sr ,.,_ tion consist, in the first place, in seeing that the p ec ,_ visions of the Passengers' Act are enforced in a lt cases where the emigrants are proceeding at their n um cost, or by means of private funds ; and in the second place, in exercising a direct superintendence over all emigratiarrivtach is conducted at the labile expense, The modes in which it is conducted to different colo nies are various, and the extent and nature of our su perintendence partakes , of corresponding differences, Thus, to New South Wales, the public emigration has gone on exclusively upon what is called the bounty system, by which general permissions to introd• J ee emigrants are granted by the colonial authorities, and payment made for them in the colony upon their safe arrival. In Van Dieme n's Land a system based (v.', a similar principle has been introduced, but with ce,nsi derable difference in the detail. To New Zealand a large emigration, by means of public funds, is going on under the immediate management of the New Zealand Company, subject to the superintendence or this Board ; and the same to Western Australis, under the management of the Association called the Western Australian Company. Finally, ships are in: some cases engaged directly by our Board, and fitted: up under our directions, the passengers being selected: by our agents, subject to approval at this Office.. When emigrants are named by land purchasers, we ' agree for their passages, and prescribe rules for their accommodation and treatment ; and it is further our duty to make the requisite arrangements for passages in those cases where the conveyance of persons is paid for by the 'funds of this country. Instances of the , last kind occurred in regard to some of the Govern.. ment surveyors, who were sent out free of expense, and more recently in regard to the boys of reformed character from the establishment at Parkhurst, who have been allowed to emigrate to some of the Austra lian colonies. We have reported at the time on . the several local enactments which have been passed, and proclamations made, for the purpose of bringing the former Pas sengers' Act into operation in the West Indies ; and when the emigration of African labourers was per mitted to take place from Sierra Leone, we pro , ,osed, as directed, the instructions upon which the e.tiigra tion agent at that colony should discharge fle im portant duties about to be entrusted to him. Th ese instructions have been acted on up to the pre'rent time r and have hitherto appeared to prevent the evils which: had to be guarded against in the working of the very interesting experiment which is now in the course of being tried in that quarter. They have -also been transmitted to the Governor-General of India for his use, in case he should find them applicable to the co e-. dangqrs which attend the emigration or the Hill Coolies. We:wish to add, that, for the protection of emiTeants proceeding by their own means, we act ahnwit entirely through the agency of the officers tilaotd une,er our orders for the purpose at the principal p e rt of the United Kingdom, under the title of Goverament Emi gration Agents. These officers .are all ' , selected from the Royal Navy, belonging most of the ,n to the rank of Lieutenant. Their duties are by no means free from anxiety. For while, on the 04;e land, the very nature of passages by sea must, at the best, involve a risk of casualties for which, when they happen, the agent at the port of departure must e rpect to be called: to account, with a view to show that his duties had' not been neglected; on the other liand, the title of" these officers is apt to suggest the idea of more autho rity than they have hithoerto possessed, and they are liable to fall under blame for cases in which they • might indeed very well have foreseen the danger c f misfortune, but had no power to enforce any bett , sr arrangements. We trust the amended Passer.ge Act will correct a good deal of this evil, although of course no law could with propriety arm any o ffi e era with all the powers which they misitt often des ire, when brought into close contact with the variety,' of deceptions that may be practised on poo r and huilikqe, people, removing from their homes to di s t an t ' man- . tries. We will only say, in conclusion, th a t Tee find in these officers the zeal, intelligence, and comprat en _ from the professio n t o NV i l ia I:ney belongs:. sion of the principles of the public service, whichgwasi to be expected NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
