COLONIAL E.IIIGRA7ION.

Yesterday, by appointment, a preliminary on:
ference of gentlemen interested in promoting enl:'
gration (on sound principles) to the colonies 105
held at the Mansion-house, where, for the occasion,
the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor had placed 3°
apartment at their disposal, besides consenting t°
occupy the chair. There were present, aro°l3g
others, Alderman Sir James Clarke Lawrence, Sic
George Grey, K.C.8., Sir Charles Nicholson, gr'
E. B. Ea,Awick, M.P., Mr. Wm. M'Arthur,
the lion. Reginald Capel, Mr. Alexander M'Arthur,
Mr. Frederick Young, Mr. Daniel Pratt, the Itesr.
A. S. Herring, Mr. Edmond Beales, Mr.
George
Potter, Mr. J. R. Taylor, Mr. J. Standish 1-131/.;
Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Dixon, Emigration Age°
for Canada ; Mr. Alfred Iloulder, Mr. C. v
Measor, Mr. D. Chinnery, and Mr. Daniel Guile..d
The LORD MAYOR, in opening the meeting, °.ll
they were met thereby appointment, in order to tri
if they could not amalgamate the three societie-'
the National Emigration Aid Society, the Brill°
and Colonial Society, and the Workmen's Ealigra'
tion Society—whose objects were precisely the ea al
or with very little variation, and so form one gell
society, who would undertake to carry out tbde
benefits of emigration on something like sound 3°
common principles. They had all the same Plir:
pose in view, but they went to work by differe,
means, and the consequence was that the force
public opinion was divided between three societies.
Now, the proposition was to unite the three Neje-
ties, and form one grand whole, by which 01
might not only /hope to obtain the Governale°
aid, but that of the colonies also.
Mr. F. YOUNG moved the first resolution, to the
effect that the meeting, representing various socie-
ties engaged in promoting emigration, considered
that the great object they all had equally in view
although although differing in their plans for carrying it °II 't
would be best secured by united action, and tb3
a committee be formed for the purpose of code:-
vouring to bring about that most desirable lull°
which the meeting believed might be ace°.l;
plished without compromising the particular trait
ciples to which they had heretofore given

support. A oci
That resolution was seconded by Mr. B-133„,°"
Beales, and supported by Mr. Eastwick,l' 71;
111°Arthur, M.P., Mr. George Potter, and Mr. Dual,
all of whom spoke strongly in favour of 0111

gamation.
Sir GEORGE GREY thought that, instead of gilt
deavouring to compress the societies, they eug it
rather to endeavour to extend them, and that
would be better if each went to work in its 0/1
way. and
That view met with little if any response, -stir
after some further conversation the motion 1"

amalgamating was carried.
tha' -
The LORD MAYOR took occasion to say rjf
though the great principle of emigration was elnos
marked on the various societies, yet the particuter
objects, if they were to amalgamate, could be be`slie
defined by the appointment of a committee on
part of the general body for the purpose of carry"

ouUpont these
th objects
it.
at was resolved that seven gentleraelte
from each of the two soc:eties represented
meeting, viz., the Workmen's Emigration represented, t th
Soi
and the National Emigration Aid Society, shelite
be appointed to confer together, with Cot
a4°l Dial
combined action d
, and that the British and °Pito
an
Emigration Society be requested to join, that
appoint seven other gentlemen to represent t'
society. Lora

A vote of thanks was then passed to tto
