Of immigration the governor says :
The setter= of European Inteilgrati= which was =O•
tinned sci.h equal wisdom and liberality by the late pease
ment continues to operation under the regulations Web-
liched by the Irnzalgration Act. The number of unmigraate
hitherto introduced has been 2078,, excludes of those on
board the two mule now shortly expected to arrive in this
conatry.
"It is with pie/e tre I =quaint you that all the In-
formation in sty poseserion beds to the belief that the
immigrant. of both sense have, se mar& character
and conduct, given unqualified satiafectica, er promise
tu prove a valuable addition to our colonial mulatin.
I hare no lees pismire in giving it as my optima that
the reasonable expectations of the immigrants tbsueetvet
here not been disappointed, and that they have Ise= in
this colony a fair field foe the exertion and inward of their
Wilma industry. Keay of then. have applied for permits
to bring out their relative, and friends to the Cape of Oood
Hope.
It has beat generally felt that immigrants might
have with grist =wastage beta seat oat in larger
sambas to both the eastern and western province!.
"The attention of the Immigration CommLaioner his beta
directed to this subject. He probably felt that some cue
wss necessary at the outset, lest he should send out emigrants
in pester cumbers than could be provided for in the =key,
without delay, and at remunerative prices, lest the entire
immigration system might be injured, far if a

country tidings of their disappointment and dinette=
which could not have faded to have infinencel =favourably

Among the wortswhicit are now, it may be said, se gni
m begun, aro the first railroad, and the great harbour to
Table Bay. It is also proposed to coastroct a dock la the
harbour at Simoe's Town, while the works at Port Limbo*
and the Bowie are in rapid progress. Numerous nab,

One proposiCon of importance which Sir Gawp Grey
