SOCIETY FOR THB PROMOTION OF
COLONISATION.:
A public meeting, convened on the requisition of
this society, W 33 held yesterday at Guildhall. The Lord
Mayor took the chair.
The Hon. F. Scorr moved the first resolution :
That more duly sustained and systematic colonisation In urgently
required by .he existing condition of the country.
He considered it to be a paramount object with all states-
mea and philanthropirs to promote the objects of the asso-
ciation—to carry the hungry 'diem they could he fed, and
the naked where they could be clothed. They did not seek
merely to convey the poor population to the colonies; they
I wished also to con vey capital, in order that there might e
employment, and that the colonies might not be reduced b
to
the state of indigence which had befallen the mother
country. The means by which they proposed to carry out
this ' object was by contributions from the colonies, the
mother country, and the emigrants.
A. M Eso., seconded the resolution. He compared
the condition of this country, where be said seven millions
were annually spent for the support of the poor, and where
there was an avirage of from 2,000 to 3,000 persons who
were continually migrating from workhouse to workhouse,
and who formed the class known as the casual poor, with
the large resources of her colonies that yet remained to be
developed, and when a person could be supported at one-
fourth of the cost for which he could be supported at home.
He concluded by prophesying from the establishment of a
system of cnbinisat on an organic change which would in-
volve an a ntircly new application of those means which he
considered were at present, in many instances, wasted in co-
lonial expenditure ; and the substitution of prosperity for the
difficulties under which this country at present laboured.
I • The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried.
