(From the Brighton Guardian.)
WORTHING.—A letter was last week received by Ste-
phen Jackman, of Goring, from his parents who were amongst.
the last party that emigrated to America from Goring and
its neighbourhood ; -and as two of their companions re-
turned to Goring about a month ago, living a most de-
plorable account of the parties they had left behind (and
more particularly of .Tackrn an's parents), caasieg considerable
uueasiucss and grief to their friends in this neighbourhood,
the promoters of emigration in this neighbourhood have
thought it. desirable to have the letter published, in order
to refute the misrepresentations of James Gates and Tho-
mas Grinyer, the parties alluded to. With that view they
have sent us a copy of the letter, which ire gladly insert.
The original may he seen by any one who will take the
trouble to call on Jackman, at Goiing :
" Brantford, October, 29, 1836.
" Dear Son,—We have taken this opportunity of writing
to inform you of our if arrival in America. We had a
very fine passage out, considering the time of the year, but
it was very cold. We were just six weeks from the time
we left Portsmouth till we arrived at Quebec. We had
then to emark on board of a steam-boat for Montreal, where
we bad to take large boats to go up the dangerous rapids at
the river St. Lawrence, in consequence of the Rideau Canal
being broke. We suffered great hardships and cold going up
the rapids. We were al: in open boats, exposed to the heat;
of the sun by day, and to the rain, cold, and fogs by night.
We were better than a week going up the rapids as far as
Prescott. We had then to take another steam-boat to go
to Toronto, where we received our money ; but instead of
being sent up to Brantford, as we expected, we had to pay
part of the expenses. We were just ten weeks from the
time we left England till we arrived at our journey's end.
I thank God! we were all pretty well coining out, excepting
a little sea sickness, which soon wore off again when we got
ashore. As soon 'as we got here father got into good em-
ployment, and he gets a great deal better paid for it, and
need not work so hard. Ann has got a very good place
with an English family, and is getting 101. a year. Mary and
Frank are both living at one place, and are doing very well.
Frank gets as much as Ann ; but Mary does pot met above:
halt as much in money, but it is more than made up in
clothes, for she gets some very good presents from her mis-
tress—and of the two she is better off. Please to give my
kind love to my dear mother, and likewise to all my brothers
and sisters, and to all old friends and acquaintances, espe-
cially to Mrs. Martin for her kindness before we left home.
Your father wishes to be remembered to his mother, his
brothers and sisters, and all his old acquaintances. Wil-
liam Gates is apprenticed to a carpenter ; but he does not
seem to alter his conduct much since he left home. George
Hide 's living about 25 miles from us. I have not seen
him now for several %%cobs ; but the last time I saw him he
was very well, and had a very good place. I have seen
George Whittington several times since .I have been here,
and he appears to be respectable, and seems to be doing us
well as the rest. Mr. and Mrs. Miles and family arc all
well ; and Mr. Miles is quite steady to what lie was at
home. I thank God this letter leaves us all in good health ;
and we hope it will find you and Mary the same. Please
to give our kind love to Mary's father and mother. As
soon as you receive this letter write an answer, and let us
know if you have plenty of work. Tell Mary, if you both
intend to come out, then she can get things to suit her
here as well as she can at borne ; and I have no doubt if
you come out. hut that you will do very well. Little
Henry and Ellen look as well as ever they did, but Henry
often talks about his brother Buddy, and he says he is
sure you arc dead, because he has not seen you so long.
We were living with Master Miles till within this month,
now we and Master Ford are living in one house ; we
are down stairs, Master Ford up stairs. The rent is 3s. a
week between us, and we are all pretty comfortable. We
have not known what it is to want for any thing since we
have been here, and we have now a quarter of beef in the
house, and cost us only 2d. a pound. Ann sends her kind
love, and wishes to be remembered to ITai riot Standen, and
Martha Martin, and Jane Goulds ; and she hopes she will
come out next year with you and Mary. Your father wishes
to see you out here, as he thinks you will du very well, for
here is plenty to do for every one that is industrious. You
can tell Mr. Bushbv the land here is very good, as good as
it is in England. In some places the plain land here is
oavered with oak and small brush underwood. The good
ground runs about three inches, and the rest is it red loam,
and in seine places sand. The flat ground is of a dark,
sandy, strong nature, it geows oats six feet high, am! as
thick as any he ever grew on his farm, but it does not bear
good wheat. The heavy timbered land is strong moulded
ground, and fit to bear any grain. The land in this country,
take one place with another, is equally its good as it is at home,
and much leveller. When first I arrived here, I took about
six days' Walk on purpose to look at the country, and. this is
the best description I can give of it at present, but I shall let
you know a little more about -it in a short time. You
earl tell Mr. Street that I don't find Goring in Canada, nor
I don't wish to it, and if but 50 or 100 in the course of two
or three ,ears I should make a man of myself. Me, and
Master Poe d, and George Wells, arc at present clearing
land, and some pf the trees are four font through, which we
have to cut down with an axe. Brantford is a snug little
place, but winter is faet approaching, and it is getting cold.
So no more at present from your affectionate father and
mother, " W. and S. JACKMAN.
" P.S.—You must not believe every letter that comes
home from Canada, but what I, have said is truth ; it is a
great deal better for young men thaat at home. James
Gates and Thomas Grinyer, as soon as they got here, be-
cause they could not find employment, started off, and we
have inot heard of them since, and if they should come home
don't believe what they say."
