This Society is formed at the desire of the principle Planters
;id Merchants interested in the West Indies, as will be seen by
the annexed recommendation, for the purpose of promoting and
eneoaraging immigration into these Colonies, where European
and other Artisans and Labourers may be advantageously em-
ployed.
rri the mountainous parts of the West Indies the climate is
l/t °land salubrious, the thermometer throughout the year rang-
dig from 60 to 73 degrees, and there, as well as in many parts
cal the lowland., every description of work can be performed by
Tel Already Freeman's Hall Sugar Estate, in the parish of
relltYnYt in Jamaica, has been entirely settled by German
and English immigrants, and on various other estates immi-
ants are working cheerfully, and are surrounded with every
lenir.f°ll in life; and Maltese and others have already proceeded
t°„..Jeraerara, Grenada, and Tobago.
tel..n order to carry out the objects of this Society, it is in-
t:4*(lW use the utmost care in the selection of the emigrants,
...Insure their being of good moral and religious character,
preference will at all times be given to families, every mem-
ii7p43lef which, from the age of six years and upwards, can be
e,y employed on a graduated scale of wages.
TO effect this a communication will be opened with the
.
-14ral and other local am horities throughnut the United
etlattdona, and with agents on the Continent of Europe
the
._a and
'ter places ; the Register Books will be kept,in which
._arties, residences, trades, or occupations of persons wishing to
'rate will be inserted with references to character,
&Book. will be open for the inspection of parties desirous
It -"ning Emigrants.
• is intended toprovide the Emigrants with free passage,
Ftknaal attendance pond rations, to their several places of des-
tioeakt.'°n, and the 14oprietors of the Plantations where they are
z_ue located will employ them on fair liberal wages ; and the
•-'o.ciety previous to the embarkation of the Emigrants will re-
RF(litre the parties by whom they are to be employed to make.
ants arrant for their reception on arrival. The Ern!-
.0 will t
„ have every opportunity of attending to their roll-
theit duties, and they will also be enabled to correspond with
a.,d` Families and Friends by regular packets twice a month,
Banks making or receiving remittances through the various
, s established in the Colonies.
1-'ll order to secure the mutual interests of Employers and
jititearoi;raiponelsr,iodthee Society intend to recommend the latter to enter
zze.,eontracts, on their arrival in the Colonies, for certain
; at the expiration of which, if they have been in-
_as, sober, and prudent, they may be enabled to renew
7,t'ngagements, or to purchase Lands.
detrve principal sources of profit, in the first instance, will be
ed from Agency, as the Society will procure the Im-
fgrrts, and superintend their embarkation for parties requir-
eJeetem, on being paid a stipulated sum for each Emigrant
ttni `I ; and, as many mercantile Houses have received in-
granctons from their correspondents abroad to send out Immi-
na is anticipated that this branch of the Society's opera-
. atll
prove lucrative to the Shareholders.
Society offers the opportunity to Planters, and others
t_„. interested in the Colonies, of procuring labourers with greater
Wiariity than they may otherwise possess, and those who become
eholders will be supplied at a less charge of Agency than
'on-subscribers
otlit..,e Island of Jamaica has, by an Act of the Legislature,
rp zi the sum of 50,0001. sterling per annum, for three years,
Prot d 0f Immigration, and has appointed an Agent-General to
:ed to London for the purpose of arranging Agencies for
• ollecting and embarking of Immigrants, and this Society
I.l:4l,endeavour to make an arrangement with him, on his ar-
.l by which the object of his mission may be accomplished.
or`'nother branch of profit is expected to be derived from
I,,ta!'ats of Land in the Colonies, as it is contemplated that her
BorstY's Government, or those, of the Colonies, will give the
ttelY grants in proportion to the number of Emigrants sent
