PARLIAMENTARY REPORT ON EMIGRATION.

(Ceetinued from the Sue of yesterday.)
An examination of the evidence before your Com-
mittee will shew that a large majority of the evidence
which has been obtained upon this subject is in favour
of such a repayment being practicable, and that there
would be little difficulty in collecting it, provided it
were to be clearly explained that it was in the nature
of a repayment of a debt contracted, rather than in the
character of rent for land. It will also be found to be
generally stated, that in the case of an emigrant leaving
the land at the expiration of seven years, when the re-
payment by the terms of the proposition would com-
mence, the improvement of his cultivation for seven
years would make the land itself an adequate security
for such repayment.
It may be necessary to mention in this place, that,
with respect to the sum advanced by the emigrant,
your Committee never contemplated an ,actual repay-
ment of money to be transmitted to England, but a
payment which should be applied in the colony for
purposes which it is now necessary to defray exclusively
from the funds of the mother country. In pursuing the
subject in thie point of view, your Committee were not
only influenced by the consideration of the advantage
of securing a practical repayment of any money which
might be supplied from the national funds for this
national object, but also by the conviction that the in-
dustry of the emigrant would be more effectually sti-
mulated and confirmed by subjecting him to the repay •
ment of the greater part of the debt incurred, the
particulars and nature of which debt could be distinctly
explained to him previously to his being received as a
candidate for emigration, and which debt, if it be duly
analysed, will not be found to differ in principle from
any other debt which may be incurred by any indivi-
dual for the object of bettering his own condition and
that of his family.
The inquiries of your Committee were then directed
to the consideration, whether the payment of the annuity
for the first period, namely, seven years, could be ob-
tained from those parties at home who were specially
benefited by the removal of the redundant population.
Your Committee feel it hardly necessary to observe,
that the cases of England, Ireland, and Scotland, essen-
tially differ from each other in this respect. In Eug!and,
the pour rate affords an immediate fund which can be
made applicable to the repayment of any expense
incurred for emigration : the evidence of Mr. Hodges,
the Chairman of the West Kent Quarter Sessions, is so
c ;pious and satisfactory upon this subject, that your
Committee have only to call the particular attention of
the House to it ; and although Mr. Hodges's observa-
tions are limited to a particular district in Kent and
Sussex, it will be found that the prinCiple will apply
generally to any part of England where a redundant
population is round to exist. In Scotland a poor
rite exists, though so modified by local circurn
stances, and so varying in its practical execution, as to
make it very doubtful whether it could be made appli-
cable in the same manner as the English poor rate for
such repayment.
In Ireland, the ease is entirely different; nothing in the
nature of a poor rate exists by law ; and) therefore, vo-
luntary Consent on the part of the proprietors of land
towards any contribution for the purpose of emigration,
must there, as well as in Scotland, be indispensable. In
the case of Ireland, whether such voluntary contribu-
tions were made by individuals, or by loal assessments,

There is, however,l one special paint of view with re-
spect to Ireland, to which your Committee feel it neces-
sary to call the attention of the House.; it is that of a
proprietor who is legally entitled to eject a redundant
pauper population, which has been surreptitiously intro-
duced into his property, hut who, at the same time that
he feels that his own interest and that of his family are
materially involved in the removal of this popolaion‘
shrinks from the exercise of his undoubted legal right,
from his dread of the consequences which must attach
to them from their removal.
In such a state of circumstances, which your Commit-
tee have reason to believe is not of unfrequent occur-
rence, it may be contemplated the public advantage
that would be derived from enabling such a measure
on the part of an individual to be carried into effect, to
the mutual benefit of the party dispossessing and of the
party dispossessed, and the most confident expectation
is entertained that a careful examination into this part
of the subject, on the part of the Irish proprietors, will
convince them that their own interests will be consulted
by a contribution towards the expense of the emigration
of such tenants.
With reference to this particular part of the subject,
your Committee beg to advert to an Act passed in the
present Session, intituled, " An Act to amend the Law
of Ireland respecting the Assignment and Sub-letting
of Lands and Tenements:' This Act was specially
founded upon the evidence t.ken before the Cornmir-
tees on the state of Ireland, and has met with the entire
concurrence of both Houses of Parliament. It provides
against the recurrence of the evil which has been de-
scribed in the preceding paragraphs. But the House
will not fail to rem ark, that all the advantages that may
be derived from this Act will be diminished, if not ren-
dered absolutely nugatory, unless a well organized sys-
tem of emigration should be established concurrently
with the measure itself. With respect to the disposition
of the tenantry ejected under such circumstances, your
' Committee have to observe that the uniform testimony
I they have received from the evidence, from the petitions
submitted to them, and from other sources of informa-
tion, has induced them to believe that the knowledge,
which is now generally disseminated, of the advantages
which the emigrants of 1823 and 1825 have experienced,
will be sufficient to induce not only any paupers who
may be ejected under such circumstances, but all of the
more destitute classes of the population in Ireland, to
avail themselves with the utmost gratitude of any faci-
lities which may be afforded for emigration. On this
point your Committee beg to transcribe an extract from
a letter addressed by Colonel Talbot, the founder of the
Talbot Settlement in Upper Canada, to a member of.
your Committee, with respect to the emigration of 1823
and 1825:--"" I accompanied Sir. Peregrine Maitland
last winter on a tour of inspection to the new Irish emi-
grant settlements, about 100 miles below York. I was
anxious to see how they were getting on, and whether
the scheme of transporting the poor of Ireland to this
country was likely to prove beneficial or not, and was
happy to bud them doing admirably. These people
were sent out last summer, about 2,000 souls, and did •
not get on their land till late in November; all of them
I that saw had snug log huts, and had chopped each
between three and four acres, and I have every reason
to think that they will realize a comfortable independ•
ence in the course of this year, and be of no further cost
to the Government; and it was satisfactory to hear them
expressing their gratitude for what was done for them."
To revert to the subject of the repayment, by the
emigrants, of part of the expense incurred. Your Com.
mittee are fully aware that such repayment could alone
be made practicable under the eircumstanee of an ads
quate market being found for the increased productions
of the Colonies, at ising from the cultivation of the land
by each successive series of emigrants; they have, there-
fore, directed a very extensive examination into this
particular branch cf inquiry. The evidence of Mr.
Uniacke upon this subject, as connected with the Fists.
eries,will be found to be very interesting and satisfactory.
Your Committee thought it of paramount importance -
to inquire, whether the result of gmigration on an ex-
tended scale, carried into effect from year to year by
fresh importations of emigrants, would not involve a
material diminution of the expense incurred in each
successive year, with reference to the numbers emigrat-
ing ; and whether, in point of fact, a well organised
system of emigration, once established, would not carry
itself on without extraneous assistance, or at least with
assistance reduced to a very small amount, as compared
with its original amount. Their inquiries, therefore,
have been especially directed to this point ; and it will
ihe found that the general tenour of the evidence is in
