100 monthly, would be readily absorbed for some time to
come. No decrease has taken place in wages since the date
of the last report, Agricultural labourers with few children
and those without, especially the latter, and single men, are
in request, and there is every prospect of the demand in-
creasing when the lines of railway connecting the towns of
the interior with the metropolis are completed. The high
rates of wages still demanded by mechanics deter many
colonists from investing capital in buildings and improve-
ments ; but it is to be hoped that in the course of a short
time this drawback, which is generally experienced in a
Young colony, will be removed, and that the prospect which
Victoria holds out to the industrious person will speedily
bring to our shores a healthy stream of emigration. Mr.
Tyler's predecessor in office, Mr. Pinnock, in his report
observes, "No demand whatever exists for the superior
class of emigrants, such as clerks, shopmen, &c., and the
same remark applies to the corresponding class of women,
such as governesses, milliners, &c. I would strongly dis-
suade such from coming hither, unless they may have been
invited to join their friends already settled here." Mr.
Tyler fully concurs with Mr. Pinnock as to the inadvisa-
bility of persons of the classes mentioned emigrating to the
colony of Victoria, excepting under the circumstances
1 specified.
