Etra,—At the present time when many benevolent
persons are anxiously seeking to benefit poor and
deserving people, will you permit me to state on behalf
of the committee of the above society that they have at
their disposal a number of "assisted passages" to
Melbourne, which are available for suitable emigrants
who can pay the mum of £'7 lls. 6d., the full ant of the
page being made up by the society. In many cases
where the emigrantsare unable to pay the sum required,
the difference is met by those who have the means and the
will to help them to Australia, and so affording them a
good chance of bettering their oondition. The committee
have "assisted" 1,200 people to Melbourne during the
past e!ghteen months, amongst whom were 21 youths
from n ' the refuges for homeless and destitute children"
who have just sailed in the ship " Elphinatone."
Should any of your charitable disposed readers desire
to aid some deserving families, and will place themselves
In communication with me, each case will be carefully
looked into, and if found eligible, the committee will
have much pleasure in rendering the assistance sought
for by the septic:ann.—l have the honor to be Sir, your
obedient *errant,
