PROSPEC TUS.

The large number of emigrants who have left Great Britain for
the United States and the Canadas in the past year has suggested
the idea of an Association for the purpose of affording increased
facilities to those intending to emigrate towards gaining for them
a location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir-
ing it.
This Association, having already formed a very extended con-
nexion in the United States and the Canadas, proposes to confine
its operations exclusively to these countries, an 1 chiefly to the
former.
It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United
States are composed of small capitalists, who, for the most part,
have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage
and the purchase of a location. To such parties loss of time
le a great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in
search of a location too frequently absorb their small
Means. They are in general unacquainted with the
geography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles
to land, when they do not come direct from the Government, are
often defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a great risk of not
~being able to fix himself in that portion of the United States where
Lac previous knowledge could he turned to the best account. These
and many other considerations equally important trill naturally in-
duce emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves
under the auspices of an Associaticn having the disposal of lands
Here or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting
Which every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur-
nished the emigrant beforehand.
The choice of a state is often of much importance. The quality of
the land, its title guaranteed, its contiguity to markets, the cost of
iahour and value of produce, facilities of transport, as well as the
Climate and the healthiness of the district—all these are of great con-
sequence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess
nthaself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting
in his own experience, he could barely hope to acquire after a
lengthened residence in the country.
In addition to this, the Association, by its arrangements for the
Voyage out, and transport of the emigrant from the port of debark-
ation to the interior, will enable the emigrant to economize his
'"cans so that neither his time nor his substance would be wasted
before his industry began.
The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on
cantunisnon; not to speculate in lands by purchase and re-sale on
its own account, but to afford the emigrant the benefit of its dealing
for the land, either with Government or proprietors. Its extended
connexion, information, and establishment will be placed at the
Service of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions.
The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely
thereto a commission, graduated proportionally to the number of
acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses
attending his transport to the spot.
The lands which will pass through the hands of the Association
from the original owner to the ultimate occupier will be for the most
Part in block; their cost price per acre to the Association will be
much below that for which an individual could procure a single loca-
tion in any of the States where Government land is not to be had ;
the emigrant will in this respect alone have a direct advantage.
When he adds to this his saving on his outward expenses andjourneY
to the spot, his loss of time, the disappointments often incurred on
the other side, he will find the actual outlay per acre of his acquisi-
tion much less by a direct purchase through the Association, whose
arrangements will enable it to render him a service he would fail in
attempting for himself. '
It is a case of the commonest occurrence with those who go out to
The United States to waste all their means and small resources with-
out ever arriving at the object of their wishes. Too many are thus
left for the time destitute, and forced to become labourers, instead of
Pinprietors of land.
It is for the purpose of enabling the uninformed emigrant of small
Means to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso-
ciation is formed; to advise him before departure of the advantages
and disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the
choice of a lodation, and to inform him on what point to direct his
means and effdrts. By this means he can ascertain to a trifle the
cost of his own and his family's removal. He will be told how he
should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact 11,
laY acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of
turning himself to account by the instructions to be given him
,k
`rough the officers of the Association on the other side.
~
_la some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the
Association will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour, by
o
such inducements as will secure it. These will form the
subject of special schem,s of settlement, which the Association will
notify from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range
accordingly.
The owners of tracts of land in the United States will find it ad-
Vninageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in-
n of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and
caltivator3.
lo As a gaarantee of the good faith of the Association, it proposes to
01t to its chief profit, after payment of expenses in the manner
tin! stated to reserved lots, which ere not to exceed one-fourth of the en-
quantity in any one block. These reserved lots will be disposed
;)i afterwards at their real market value, and without reference (as
;u the case of the first emigrants) to prime cost.
tl `he settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage
lereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise
Many considerations which cannot be easily enumerated, but, to
;mare; success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The phy-
t cal wants of tho emigrant will require medical attendance on him
te' the spot. Provision woll be made likewise for his spiritual corn-
oil, by proviellkig a clergyman, iu conformity with the religious per-
jniacion of each hundred families; and, as it not untrequently hap-
yens that many families depart from the same neighbourhood, iii all
;,,ts,es where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the
.Trants themselves.
The Platt of the Association, therefore, embraces the following
Points, viz.
1. The acquisition of tracts or portions of lands in the several
states of he Union and in Canada, for sale on c, mmission.
The disposal of these lands to emigra,ts in such quantities as
j'al suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the
hrid, adding so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant
i:the examination of the lands and their tiller, and a staff of in-
"'gent officers to take charge o the emigrants and their interes ,
4to placing them upon the land, un, er the most favourable cir-
eat:lstances.
3. Contrac'ing to place the emigrant and iris family on the land
for
I a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out, and in the
teller, so ha be may km ow beforehand how far his money will
go in secer,ng the ob,ect of his wishes.
The supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at
ao ranch per acre, to be aided to prime cost of the land, it not
Ilerwise paid fcr by special agreement with emigrants.
Holding an interest in reserves not to exceed one-fourth the
erji 'gloat acquisition ; these reserves not to be disposed of by the
ssociation for less than double the original-average prime cost per
acre.
6. Provision for the moral and physical wants of the emigrant, so
:that
his safety and comfort will be secured front the ordinary acci-
dents attendant on the unaided efforts of a single individual.
The Directors are engaged in the settlement of a tract of land In
Eastern Texas, containing 153,400 acres, and are preparing a scale
Prices for the location of emigrants thereon.
