" Since the last annual meeting, some correspondence has
taken place between the Committee and the colonial Go-
vernment, on the subject of the introduction of emigrants
from Great Britain, as labourers for agricultural and other
purposes. It was proposed that measures should be adopted
for providing for the expense of the passage of juvenile emi-
grants and their parents ; and that by the payment of a cer-
tain sum by the master for the indenture of each ap-
prentice the necessary funds might be obtained. The
passage money was estimated at 121. sterling for
each emigrant, but if conducted on an extensive scale, it
was believed that 101. sterling might be the average ; and
on this subject the Secretary to Government has stated by
letter of the 2d June, 1843, that if the expense cannot be
reduced below 121.,—' His Excellency, being desirous of pro-
moting emigration, hopes the difkrence might be obtained
by local assessment in the colony, a measure he would be
happy to originate in the Legislative Council, if desired by the
community, and it can be effected, which he believes it can
be, without detriment to, or charge upon the colonial revenue,
until the debt is liquidated, to which the surplus of the
revenue must be steadily applied.' "
Accounts of February 22 from Sydney, state that the
colony was rather improving, and that the renewal of immi-
gration was expected to benefit it. At Port Phillip also
Tallow melting, meat salting, &c., were actively occupying
the attention of the settlers.

We do not learn that the failure of Johnson, and Co., the
private bankers of Romford, is in itself a serious one, al-
though likely •to prove very injurious to the locality where
its notes mostly circulated. -t
The English Stocks are still rather flat this morning, and
there is not much doing. Consols realise 98a to 98i for the
Account. Exchequer bills are 71s. to 735. premium. Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1021 to 1011; and the Three
per Cents. 981 to 99a. Bank Stock obtains the improved
quotations of 199 to 200. India Stock for special transfer has
been at 289.

The proceedings of M. Mon at Madrid, if we are to credit
all that is stated of him, are not likely to raise the confidence
of those who dabble in Peninsular investments, and
the Foreign Market has presented a more complete blank
than we remember for a long time past to have seen. The
only bargains in Spanish have been in the Three per Cents.
at 341, and the Passive at 57 • Colombian ex Venezuela have
realised 137; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
steady at 61g to 614; and the Five per Cents. at 1007.
There is more activity in Railway Shares, and we quote
them generally at a slight rally upon yesterday's depressed
prices. There is still, however, a want of buoyancy in the
Birmingham. French shares are very firm, but not so brisk
as our own. Minei are quiet, as well as Banks.
