BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY BILL,

Mr. MILNER GIBSON moved, " That it he an instruc-
tion to the Committee on Group 18, to hear the petition from
the Directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, relative to
their Yeovil and Taunton Branch."

Atter a few words trom Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET,
the motion was withdrawn.

BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY BILL,

Mr. STANTON moved that the evidence taken before the
Committee last year on the Bristol and Gloucester Railway
be referred to the Committee on Group 58, now sitting.
The motion was agreed to.
A short discussion then ensued as to the gauges, which
was put a stop to by
Sir JAMES GRAHAM interposing, and saying that his
Right Hon. Friend, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade,
had left the House under the impression that the debate on
the question had been adjourned until to-morrow.
NAVAL CIVIL DEPARTMENT BILL.

On the order of the day for the second reading of this B.
being read, _ _

Sir C. NAPIER addressed the House at some length as
to the impropriety of appointing men to the care and manage-
ment of the dockyards who understood nothing about them,
and who were utterly ignorant of ship-building, &c. He also
entered into a lengthy statement as to the sailing qualities
of the various vessels in the squadron. After several hun-
dred pounds had been expended in the construction of ships,
when they were sent out it was found that they were not tit
for sea. He instanced in support of his argument :the
St. Vincent; the Albion, the Vanguard, &c. HE
then gave a detailed statement of the sums which had
been expended in the repair of these ill-constructed vessels.
He quoted from the returns made by the officers of the dock-
yards, but he was afraid that, great as the expense appeared
to be by these returns, it was in fact much greater, if the
truth was known.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that the
House of Commons had a right to insist that, when they
ordered returns to be made, those returns should be accurate
in every respect. It had been said by the Secretary of the
Admiralty that it would be improper to make proper returns
on this subject, because, if they did, foreign nations woulu
know the exact condition of our fleet, which might be in-

jurious to this country. But the truth was, that the Frencl
knew much more abont our navy than we did ourselves.
The returns which the Admiralty had furnished were ver..
incorrect, in as far as the condition of the steam ships wen
concerned. He would instance the Vulture steamer, th.
returns respecting which were most inaccurate, and if tht

returns resiectinithe others were of the same character, IF
must say they were most objectionable. Ha be
lieved there was not one of the steam-boats belong
ing to the Government that was fit to b.
called a ship of war. A great portion of them carrie(
their paddle-boxes five or six feet above the level of thi

deck, and if they were to go into war the first shots would,
he was persuaded, carry them away. If a war took place to-
morrow, a steam fleet might be sent out with 10,000 of
15,000 men. If that were the case, then, from these high
paddle-boxes and engines, the first shot would de-
stroy all the men in any one of these steamers—
the only safety with such vessels was to place the boilers
below the water. The Admiralty ought to confess their
error, and if these vessels were inefficient, take measures to
put them in a proper state for the service of the country
There were many other vessels named in the catalogue
which were liable to similar objections. A great number of
the steam gun-boats, he believed, would prove to be
of no use whatever. They were called gun-boats,
but he felt certain they would be found totally useless in case
of being employed in war-service. He found, on looking
over the returns, that a great number of three and twc-
deckers were cut down. He did not object to the first two
that were cut down, but they had been so numerous that he
must now refer to them. Thirteen two-deckers had been cut
duwn to make bad frigates. It would have been better to have
worn them out as they were originally. If a war were to arise,
involving, a war in the Baltic or the Mediterranean, they
would have no ships to employ but these bad frigates. But
so great was the mania for cutting down in the Admiralty
that a large number of the large friga: es built at
the end of the last war in order to compete
with the large frigates of the Americans, were
now in process of being cut down to corvettes. Forty-
five large frigates had been built, and this was the
process now employed towards them. The Hon. and Gal-
lant Member then referred to the magazine ships, the condi-
tion of which he represented to be equally objectionable.
With the enormous, number of ships they had built,
and what they were building, he thought the nays
ought to be more efficient. One great objection he had to
those ships was, that many of them were too large in
size. He believed that before many years large ships
would be given up altogether, and small ships
be employed in their stead. He believed a great
deal of the neglect of the Admiralty was from leaving the
management of building the ships in the hands
of one officer. He) felt certain that no one man could
attend to these matters; as they ought to be. He knew from
his experience that such must be the case. The ship-builders
of Glasgow, Liverpool, or on the river, could produce far
better steamers than any the Admiralty had built.

COLONIAL AND

EMIGRATION

COMMISSION_

The following are extracts from the sixth general
report of the Colonial and Emigration Commissioners
(just presented to Parliament by command of her Ma-
jesty) :

NEW SOUTH WAXES : ITS FINANCIAL STATE.
In our last report we noticed the gradual improvement
which has taken place in the general state of the colony,
and we are happy to perceive that each account since re-
ceived tends to confirm our expectations that we should
soon hear of its returning prosperity. The Gover-
nor, in a dispatch transmitting the abstract of the
revenue and expenditure for 1844 and the esti-
mate for 1846, says, that he considered the
finances of the colony to be in a very satisfactory
state. The ordinary revenue, which in 1843

Frome explains that the whole of the

parts of the settled districts ; and that
tthe excess of
expanse is accounted for by the small size of many
of the blocks, and the incessant movement of the
I surveying parties from one part of the colony to
another. The total quantity of land surveyed and
open for settlement on tne 31st of December, 1844, was
663,553 acres. Further accounts, however, have been
received of sales effected in the colony up to the 31st of
May. 1845, amounting to 1241. 12s. ; and we have every
reason to believe that much more considerable sales have
since occurred. In this country, also, as much as
20,000/. was deposited during the past year in the pur-
chase of land by the Australian Mining Company, be-
sides 1,1001. by other depositors.
Subsequent accounts, we are glad to report, fully con-
firm the at4tement4 We mentioned last of the discovery

of valuable mines of lead and copper. We place 15
1 Appendix an extract from Governor Grey's Annual Re`
port for 1844, containing some interesting observations
both on the mines and on the generally favourable pros'
pects of the colony.
The source of wealth thus unexpectedly opened to the.
colonists appeared to offer a favourable opportunity et
providing for a revenue, which, without being onerous,
might keep pace with the growth of prosperity in the
colony. Accordingly, in compliance with Lord Stanley's
directions to consider the subject, we consulted with
different gentlemen connected with. the management oi,
mines in England, and with others desirous of embark/13g
capital in mining operations in South Australia ; and ice
submitted our views to his Lordship in a report,
the 14th of May last. His Lordship referred the whole
matter to the Governor, authorising him to establish,
with the advice of the Executive Council, such rules es
might appear best adapted to the circumstances of the
colony, subject, however, to their being confirmed, dis•
allowed, or modified by her Majesty's Government.
By the latest accounts the demand for labour onti•
dated
nued, particularly fur agricultural labourers, shepherds;
mechanics, miners, and female domestic servants ; and
notwithstanding a considerable; influx of labourers
(amounting in the year 1804 to 809, and in the first
quarter of 1825 to 613), the previous high rates of wages
were maintained.

CANADA.
The following particulars of sales have been gathered
from the Land returns for 1844:—Form (or country) lots,
381 ; town lots, 838 ; park (or suburban) lots, 70: total,
1,289. Producing 26,0744 18s. 7d.
The number of immigrants lanled at the ports of
Quebec and Montreal in 1845 was 25,375, of whom 633
were cabin passengers. A compar:son of this avregate,
with the return of 1844, shows an increase of 5,233'
equal to 26 per cent.
It is not practicable to ascertain precisely the number
of departures from the province to the United States.
Mr. Buchanan estimates the number at about 4,000,
which is more by 2,800 than went in the preceding years
while the number of arrivals by way of the United States
does not appear to exceed 2,600, making the accession
to the population consequent to the year's immigration,.
to be between 23,000 and 24,000 persons. Several or
them were possessed of moderate capital, and pro-
ceeded at once to purchase partially improved pro'
perties, or to enter into trade. A larger proportion
were small fanners, with sufficient means to enable
them to establish themselves advantageously on
wild lands; but the great bulk were agricultural labourers,
many of whom had nothing even for their immediate
support. The total expenditure on the relief of destitute
immigrants, including the cost of agency, was 6,9441.

the two years was nearly equal. The disbursements for
buildings and repairs amounted to 732/. Bs. 2d. in 1844,
and only 961. ss. 6d. in 1845. The increase, therefore:.
for direct assistance to emigrant families was upwards or

Many cases of fever and small-pox were sent to hosfar'7
and the medical superintendent has mainly attributed ti'
origin of the disease to the crowded, filthy, and ill-Yen'

The number of passenger vessels during the Pag:
season was 256. Of these not more than 147 'llll°
within the regulations of the Passengers' Act, and cI,T,
sequently a very considerable number sailed from
country without any previous inspection by Governme°
officers.

IMMIGRATION INTO THE MAURITIUS.
It is desirable to begin by referring very briefly to th
history of emigration from India to this colony. ,
The first emigration commenced in 1834 and ended
1839. It was carried on entirely by private enterPr!s
ems.e,
Uhe labourers were introduced under contracts of serrlc
which after 1837 were limited in duration to five years' ens
the emigrants were entitled at the end of that period
free passage back to India. The abuses to which this sYstwoo
was found to give rise were formidable; amongst the ev,..„
proved to have been inflicted on the emigrants, it gel',
suffice to enumerate kidnapping, actual confinement of
Calcutta itsa, and compulsory embarkation, b 57
contracts on disadvantageous terms, which neverthestof0
were seldom, if ever, strictly fulfilled. The numb!r_dis
persons introduced in this first emigration from Au
was 25,468, of whom 24,566 were male labourers.
At the end of 1842, the emigration was re-open_l7
under the direct superintendence of Government officers'
and a bounty was made payable in Mauritius on LT;
immigrants. No contract for service could be ralluo
out of the colony, and none within the colony for
longer period than one year. This mode of enaignr
don happily proved exempt from the former Olt!:
It continued throughout 1843, and for the first fe7,
months of 1844, when it was succeeded by the thiT"
and present system, under which the whole race:.
sures for the selection and conveyance of the emigrao67.
are devolved exclusively on a responsible Goverment
officer. This change was made partly with a view 01
lessening the expenses, and partly of obtaining a better,
Selection of emigrants, including a larger proportion of
women, in both of which respects it would appear frOm
the reports to have bee n attended with success. The
whole number introduced under the renewed emigration.
from the commencement of 1843 to the end of 1844,.'
appears to have been 46,014, of whom 39,244 were ini!'"
labourers.
From these statements it follows that, in the course .10,
ten years, 71,482 people were introduced from India Iwo
the island of Mauritius, of whom no less than 63,816 W
male labourers or servants.

IMMIGRATION INTO THE WEST OM
inti
On this important service, the steps to be taken to
with
some
country last year formed at first a question
difficulty ; we issued, in the month of May,
pn
the approval of the Secretary of State,
shiP-
advertisement, calling for tenders of anyof
ping which the owners would offer on the chance
the Indian agents being able to supply them with 0
pld
grants. It was found, however, that shipowners sro _
mot offer ships on these terms, except at rates which
deemed higher than it was expedient to pay. Seel"'
therefore, that in the meanwhile much more encourag-
ing accounts had arrived from Madrid (the port where
the collection of emigrants had at first seemed most
doubtful) and taking into consideration the express desk&
of the West India committee in this country, we w ere
authorised, in the month of June, to issue a second :at
vertisement for tenders, under which a complement, of
emigrants was guaranteed to the shipowner.
The consequence of the advertisement issued on thci.•
terms, and another of a similar nature that followed
was the engagement of thirty-one vessels, capable;l:
conveying about 8,000 coolies. The rates at whir.:
I they were taken up varying from 14/ to 15s. 10s.
adult for the voyage from India to the West Indies.
Turning now from the measures taken in Engle 11
we proceed to the information which has been receilri
from India. Both at Calcutta and Madras, office;
have been formed, including on the establisl:nient4
each station, a surgeon for the examination of FAA, ;
emigrants, paid at the rate of 2001. per annum.
Madras, Captain Wilson has contracted for the svkl.
ply of clothing required by coolies on the voysl4;
and also for provisions during their maintenance
depot, previous to their embarkation. The clothing
cind
each adult emigrant will cost about 21s. for males,
15s. for females, and the maintenance in depot will ciao
34d. per diem for each adult. Captain Wilson has 140
entered into a contract with a native for the collecttoof
of such emigrants as may be required, at a charg t
about 10s. per statute adult. All the emigrle ants sent by
, 4,
Captain Wilson in the seasons of 1844-5 appear to 6'
been procured by this individual. •
By dispatches recently received we are glad to 166112_
that the Indian Act has been altered, so that emigra*;
may commence at Madras at an earlier period, viz.* I
the Ist of September, instead of the Ist of October; I
each year. This will be a very useful alteration, which
was much called for by the nature of the seasons 6g
Madras.
In the season of 1845-6, there were introduced itt"
Jamaica, British Guiana, and Trinidad, 8,131 emigrat .

And plainly the compliment shows
What the two noted tailors have done.

'Gentlemen,— I consider it almost an imperative duty to state the
valuable efficacy of your most excellent MACASSAR OIL. For the
last Ilfteen years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dreadful
aver Whilst in India. I have used almost every means to procure a

14.11tally, a friend advised the use of your valuable Hair Restorer,
(lean give it no better name,) and after using a 3s. 6d. bottle, every
113'iYalitoin of e new head of hair began to show itself, to the surprise
both myself and family. I resolved on having another, and ob-
,uned another bottle, and, before the whole of which was used; I
d, and have now', as handsome a head of hair as ever man en-
JoYed, and I earnestty recommend all who have not tried this most
sieellent 011, will not fail to do so.
I am, Faro, your must grateful and obedient servant,

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquled.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach In health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we sho'tld live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health fall threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of Immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters,everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should'know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein falthflfily imparted,
health will be found to be in our owes keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to eurselves, we secure tho like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
RAMSGATE, JuNE 16.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite
arrived here by special traits this afternoon, at one o'clock, en route
to Ostend, for which purpose the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle had
been placed at her disposal. The first intimation of her arrival was
given to the public by the hoisting of the royal standard on the
church, an,4 a salute of twenty-one guns from the pier, and shortly
after the royal party proceeded to the yacht, which was lying at the
mouth of the harbour, both piers of which were crowded with spec-
tators anxious to catch a glimpse of their transient visitor. The
Garland mail-packet departed wills the carriages two hours before her
Majesty, so as to be in readiness for her at Ostend.
James Macgregor, Esq., chairman, Pendell, Esq., M.P., Vis-
count Torrington, and other directors of the South-Eastern Railway,
were in attendance upon her Majesty while on her journey from
London.
The traffic between this port and Ostend is still on the increase,
the number of passengers and carriages In and out from the Ist to
the 14th of this month, being, of the former, 846, and of the latter,
20, with the prospect of a still larger increase.
