MRS. CHISHOLM'S PLAN OF AUSTRALIAN

EMIGRATION.

SOUTHAMPTON, WIDNIMIDAT ANTRRNOOIt.
This day at 2 o'clock a farewell group meeting of
emigrants about to soil for Port Phillip in the ship BaLen-
. gelds, from the Southampton Docks, was held on board the
ship. This vessel is the first which has been despatched
from bouthampton filled entirely with emigrants who pay
their own paseagsernoney ; and from this circumstance, and
the fact that the ship is going out under the auspices of
Mrs. Chisholm's society for promoting family colonisa-
tion," a great deal of interest was attached to her sailing.
The ship was crowded with the emigrants, their friends,
and inhabitants of Southampton, whom curiosity had at-
tracted on board, end at least two or three thousand
respectable persons were assembled on the quay alongside
of which the ship wee lying.
The Mayor of SOUTHAMPTON, speaking from the
side of the poop, so as to be heard by the persons on shore,
bendy introduced Mrs. Chisholm, who was loudly cheered
on stepping forward.
Mrs. CHISHOLM said she most follow the course which
she wee told wt, usual with gentlemen when addressing •
large meeting, of requesting the hearers to bear in mind
that they were not to expect an eloquent speech ; at the
ume time, if she had not something to say, she would not
have been there that day; nor would she say anything if
she did not believe that what she had to say would be to
some extent useful to others. (Hear, hear.) She had fol-
lowed the camp as • soldier's wito for 20 years, and since
then had been tieing what she could for emigrants ; she
was, therefor., secustomed to the rough lift, they were
about to embark in. The confusion that exist, don board I
a slip about to sail waa 'sometimes depressing to the spirits, I
of emigrants; and they were apt to think it was impossible
to get into order. That confusion, however, wt, necessary;
it was • confusion that would lead to order and comfort.
Many things which were being done to day, might have
been done • week ago, but it was more satisfactory that
they should be done in the presence of the emigrants. For
instance, the provisions they bad seen taken on board had
remained for some days under lock and key, in order that
there might be no possibility of • change. They were sup-
plied by the firm of Finnis and Fisher, of Tower hill—she
wished them to remember the name, for she was sure they
would feel gratitude to the firm if the provisions proved to
be sound and good. She had the choice of two firms to
supply the stone—the boasts she bad mentioned, and one
of equal respectability—Powell and Co.; but having been
told that Alderman Finials wished to be Lord Mayor, she
thought that would be an additional guarantee that he would
five Vamped meat. The emigrants would be at ones divided
HMO RUMS* of from 8 to 12 persons each, for the sake of
order, bat perhaps they would find that they were not
grouped with their friends or those they wished to associate
with. She wished them, however, to remember that this
arrangement was only temporary, for • week or ten days,
until their see-sickness had pawed, and they eoald them-
selves make the arrangements in a way to promote their
own comfort. She was anxious to point the emigrant's at-
tention to • few friendless children who were going out.
There wits a report that she had one of the London thieves
in the ship. It was not the fact; there was • mere child on
board whose history they might read in the relies reports
of the London.papers, under the head of ..1 he Romance
of Real Life.' A A man on hoard had undertaken the
charge of him, until their arrival, when he would
be placed in the care of Captain Chisholm, who would
and employment for him; and she thought within a year
there would be found an opening for thousands of poor
children in Australia. She was going back, and then she
must do something to enemies a plan fur the emigration of
the families of those miserable gold-diggers who were now
in their search for wealth in danger of losing all that made
life valuable. The mines were now crowded
-with numbers
of bachelors, without a female amongst them, and the con-
sequences would be perfectly frightful. It was not her
wish that thousands of single females should be sent out—
not that even ten should be sent out, until some arrange-
ments had b:en made to receive and take are of them on
their arrival; hut when that wss done she was enxious that
thousands should go out. They were, in that ship, going
out under the protection of families. This oonkl be con-
tinued on a small scale, but it was not snakiest to meet the
requirement. This was the first ship, filled with emi-
grants paying their own passage, leaving Southamp-
ton; and she was anxious to say a few words
on that subject, for the more ports that were open
for emigration, the more protection there would be for the
emigrants; and ae long as emigration was manned to Liver-
pool and London, so long there would not be that protec-
tion and security fur the comfort of emigrants that there
ought. Some 'Wasters months ago, came gentlemen came
to her who were anxious to promote emigration from
Southampton. She told them if they would engage a good
ship to sail upon proper principles, with regard to the
arrangements on board for the comfort of the emigrants,
she would 1111 it for them. After eighteen months silence
Mr. Wyndham Harding, secretary of the South Western
Railway, who had been engaged with her in promoting
tsally selenhadon, engaged this ship on his own requital--
bully, and she add tell them that so great was the regard
that heel ben paid to the comfort of the passengers that
not ems dermas profit would be made by it. With
many the pod Inducement to join this vessel had been to
save a few data' knocking about at the Pewee. The ship
was net fitted up with a view to gain. The docks they

BLACK BAJIVEATERS.—A great many milare in
the counties of Stirling and Linlithgow have, we under-
stand, left their work this week and betaken ekemselw to
shearing, at which they are earning 31. per day. To so
great au extant has this taken place, that is the ewe of one
colliery 78 men have left, end the result is already begin-
ning to tell in the traffic receipts of the MonklandeMineral
Railway. It is some coneolatha that, even should all the
Irish go off to the gold diggings, we shall ban our black-
diamond men to fall back upon, in order to get in oar
golden grain.—.A'Wltt NOWA Mail,
