GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—IIer Majesty's Emigration
Commissioners have chartered the Herald of the Morning,
1,355 tons, to sail from Liverpool for Melbourne, Victoria,
at £ll 18s lld per statute adult, to be ready for the reception
of passengers on such day as the commissioners may appoint
between the 7th and 14th of July. They have also given
notice of their intention to receive tenders next Thursday,
the 20th instant, for a ship to sail to Moreton Bay between
the 14th and 21st of July. The ship must be furnished
with one of Dr. Normandy's fresh water distilling apparatus,
with a competent person and fuel to work it, but under the
order in Council of the 13th inst. will be entitled, in con-
sideration thereof, to reduce by one-half the quantity of

THREE CHILDREN AT A BIRTH. —On Thursday, a poor
woman, named Mary Singleton, wife of a labourer, residing
at 14 Court, Eldon-street, was delivered of three children,
two males and a female. One of the males was still born,
but the other two children and the mother are doing well --
the children being described as " very fine." The mother
at her last confinement had two children, which are still
alive. It has been suggested, that as this poor woman has
proved herself valuable to the nation, and as she added to
the population on the Queen's birthday, some charitably
disposed person might render her a small pecuniary present,
as it is said such would be a valuable addition to the com-
forts of herself and the children, as the husband's means
are very limited.
