EMIGRATION OF..P4D!7ER CHILDREN TO

BERMUDA.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the parish of Bt. Pancras' Mr. Churchwarden
Buzsrr in the chair, the clerk to the board reported that
James Combley, aged Id, one of the batch of children who
were sent by the parish to Bermuda in October, IMO, bad
been sent to England by his master is see his friends. He
had been rewarded with a sovereign for his good conduct.
The boy looked remarkably well, and expressed himself
perfectly satisfied with his position, and with the kind
treatment he received from his master, Mr. Henry J.
Tucker. The boy stated that he was taught by the

singing. In answer to questions from various members of
the board, the boy gave a favourable account of many of
the children who had been sent out with him.
Mr. STOCKTON felt that it war snort gratifying to hear
the statement of the boy. It was a direct denial to the

was stated, that the parish only acted upon a wish to get
rid of the children at may rate. (Hear.)

advisability of adopting tome measure which would, in ac-

Other gentlemen having spoken in the same sense,
Dr. GaZOORT then hands up the following notice of

this sad other parishes, that they may. not be restricted
from enjoying the beg:leer emigration. '

Tai At!MALIAN EL DMIADO.—A poor man in
Southampton has • daughter married in Australia. Her
husband is a foreman to a tobacco 'manufactory situated on
the river Paterson, the owner of which is • person named
Boyle. The daughter has just written home to her father a
letter dated in Vebruary last. She states that as goon as the
gold discoveries ware mad., Mr. Boyle was obliged to raise
the wages of all the men working on his establishment, and
that he allows • kw at a time to go to the gold diggings to
try their fortune, when they return, after a limited period, to
give others • C111:12011. By these means he has been enabled
to keep sulkiest men to carry oa hie business. The
diggings are about thirty miles from where she
evades. She speaks of a youth of her acquaintance
about 17 years of age, who for some time by hard work got
an ovum of gold a week ; that he alterwarik made use of •
cradle, and washed out about three ounces of gold a week.
A partv she kn. w had met with very bad luck, and they
were about to leave the diggings. They were persuaded to
give another trial, whoa they fell in with • spot that was
exceedingly rich in gold, and they are now doing remark-
ably well. The writer of the letter in question has been in
Australia about eight years. She states that the climate is
much like England, and she Is desirous that her father and
all her relations should come out and join her. Iler
greatest grief is that, out of the numerous letters she
knows must have been recently sent from England to her,
she has received one.
