EMIGRATION.
• •••1111P.-
The Second Report from- the Select Committee on
Eaggration from the United Kingdom.has been printed
by order of the House of Commons. This Report is
on a special CASe which had been presented to it, viz.
the condition of the hand.loom weavers, for whom it
has been suggested that some relief might be affordea
by emigration.
The Manufacturers' Relief Committee have signified their tea.
dinesa to cootribletts 23,0001. set of the fonds raked by the King's
letter, and the Emigration Carmine, recommend a grant of 50,0001.
By this sum of 75,0001. it is calculated that 1,200 families may be
removed to Nova Scotia.
At the conclusion of the Report, the Committee express " their
deep comicial, that whatever may be the immediate and urgent
demands from other quarters, It is vain to hope for any permanent
and extensive advantage from any sy.tem of emigration width does
not primarily apply to Ireland, whose population, unless some other
outlet be opened to them, must shortly fill up every vacuum
4:seated in England or is Scotland, and reduce the labouring classes
to a uniform state of detkadation and misery." And .they there.

re state of that couotty, and the practicability of applying emi-
gration as a means of relieving it from its present overwhelming

great as to prevent us from estertahliag any sanguine hopes on the
*object, the appointment of the Emigration Committee has been of
great importance, as a pledge given by the Government, that the
Improvement of the condition of the people shall be attended to—
that the WC for them shall not be confined to the doling out of alma,
which rather *office to prolong than to remove misery.. The Com-
mittee has made one step towards improving the condition of the
people, by placing in the clearest light the immediate causes of their
misery, and the circumstances which tend to perpetuate It.
An objection has been made to the application by the Relief
Committee of the mosey at its dlsposal for the purposes of emigra-
tion. It six or seven thossand persons can be relieved entirely, and
otbersbe aided materially, by 25,000 t• of the charitable fund, the
Relief Committee, by so applying the money, consults in tbe most
judicious manner the Interests of its trust, and the intention of the
donors. The peculiar circumstances of the hand-loan w esters
appear completely to justify this application of the matey.
