EMIGRATION.—In the year 1858 18,159 persons
emigrated from this country, through the agency of the
Emigration Commission, at an expense to the Commis-
sioners of £252,750—viz., 6,496 to New South Wales, 6,504
to Victoria, 3,712 to South Australia, 198 to Western Aus-
tralia, 14 to Tasmania, 2,034 to the Cape, and 201 to Natal.
Besides the emigration from the United Kingdom, there
emigrated under the control of the Emigration Commis-
sioners, 7,157 persons from the East to the West Indies,
and 811 persons from the West to the East Indies. The
cost of this emigration being defrayed almost entirely in
the colonies, the commissioners are unable to state its
amount. In connection with the emigration conducted by
the commissioners, they are public accountants to a large
amount. The sums received and expended by them in 1858
were £331,077, and £312,878 respectively. And, besides the
superintendence of emigration from the United Kingdom
and the enforcement of the Passengers' Act in reference to
private ships, as well as ships chartered by themselves, it is
their duty to watch the operation of the Passengers' Act,
and to suggest and prepare any bills or orders in council
which may be required with reference to emigration ;
to superintend the Indian, Chinese, and other immigra-
tion into the West Indies, and the return emigration from
the West Indies to India ; to report on all laws, ordinances,
and regulations made in the West Indies or Mauritius on
the subject of Coolie or Chinese emigration; to advite the
Secretary of State on all Colonial Acts for the management
of Crown lands, the regulation of emigration, and kindred
subjects; to report (as regards the colonies in which the
management of the land has not been surrendered to the
local Government), on all claims to land, and regulations
for its disposal ; to furnish the public with information
respecting emigration, the disposal of land, the rates of
wages, &c., in all the colonies, for which purpose they pub-
lish annually a general report and a colonisation circular ;
and lastly, to prepare and execute contracts in respect to
mines or land in the colonies, or any other contracts which
the Secretary of State may direct.
