QUEENSLANI)GoVERNM ENT EMICRATION.—OrderE
have been received by Mr. Jordan, Agent-General for th,
Colony of Queensland, to discontinue all free and waste
emigration. The principle of the land-order system is still
to be maintained, giving land in the proportion of thirty
acres to persons paying their own passages by ships going
direct to the colony. The land-orders will be given to
cabin passengers going by any line of vessels, but for the
next sir months, until May the 11th, lfir7, will be re-
etricteil in the case of steerage or intermediate passengers
to those who go in ships belonging to, or chartered by,
Messrs. T. M. Mackay, Son, and Co., London, and Messrs.
J. Raines, Taylor, and Co., Liverpool. The resignation of
Mr. Jordan, as Agent-General for Emigration for Queens-
land, sent in some months since, has been accepted. Mr.
• Jordan came to England more than five years since to
establish the land-order system of emigration, and nearly
forty thousand persons have gone to the colony under his
direction. The large number of navvies who have been
sent out during the last two years to construct the Queens-
land railways were not selected by the Agent-General, the
sanction of this class having been entrusted to the railway
contractors and their agents.
THE ANON-Y][OTE DONATION TO THE POPE.—
The account given by the Sun lay Gazette of the cheque for
500!. which was sent anonymously to Archbishop Manning
for the Pope was not quite correct. The archbishop
received a letter dated the sth of November, enclosing the
amount stated, but it was not signed " Guy Faux, a Protes-
tant." The unknown benefactor said that, being influ-
enced by Dr. Manning's pastoral of Rosary Sunday, he
enclosed the money for the use of the Pope ; adding that,
although to him it might be but a trifle, to the giver it was
a considerable amount, being, in fact, the whole of his
savings. Whether the gift came from a protestant or a
Boman catholic there is nothing to show. The letter was
' signed with initials only, and the bankers did not mention,
as alleged, the religion of the person by whom they were
instructed to pay the cheque.
