WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE?

(From Sidney'o Emigrant Journal.)

As to who should emigrate, it would be as absurd to
assert that all men are fit for colonists, as that all men
are fit for sailors, or soldiers, or blacksmiths, or doctors,

or tailors, or lawyers. Those who set great store on the
comforts of civilized life, who dislike hot or cold weather,
travelling at night and getting _ wet feet ; who insist on

regular Meals • Who are miserable if they dont
newspaper daily ; above all, those who dislike hard work,
who are not prepared to turn their hands to anything use-
ful or profitable, had better stay at home. A colonist
goes to obtain by work, and little or no money, what
would require a great deal of money to purchase in En-
gland.
Many a mechanic lives much better, and has more
comforts, than a man in the backwoods of Canada, or the
United states, or the bush of Australia, although owning
a farm and cattle worth £l,OOO. But there is this diffe-
rence: the mechanic, be he ever so careful, and ever so
industrious, will find it a difficult matter to save anything
considerable at the end of ten years, whereas at the end

of ten years, under the same favourable circumstances,
an industrious colonist would have turned a large part of
his land into a capital farm ; and a large family of child-
ren, instead of being a source of anxiety and expense,
would be a comfort and a profit, useful almost as soon as
they can walk.
We cannot illustrate what we mean better than by the
story of a man personally known to us. He was a farmer
in the West of fingland, and paid a rent of about £2OO
a year for a fare of gbout 250 acres of Ang

lived in a good, comfortable house, with an orchard round
it ; he had plenty of good, old-fashioned furniture ; he
kept some good cider in his cellar ; he wore broad
cloth and top boots on market days and Sundays ; he
was a churchwarden, and all the boys and labour-
ers in the parish touched their hats to him when
they met him ; he was up early and late ; he worked
hard himself, and never indulged in any extravagance, and
yet, when he was 35 years old, he found that after a bad
harvest and some ill-luck with his cattle, he was some
hundred pounds poorer than when he left his father's
house nine years before ' • he had a wife and five children,
and saw more chance of five more than of being able to
save £lOOO for them. He determined to emigrate ; his wife
who was a spirited woman, encouraged him : he sold off
everything, and sailed for New South Wales about seven-
teen years ago. He bought 500 acres of fine rich land,
unencumbered with trees, from a person who had
received a grant from the Crown ; got a slab hut
built, and had to wear fustian and work like a labourer ;
he was far away in the country, almost alone. For five
years he had few comforts, but in ten years he had a good
house over his head, a good farm, his own freehold. grow-
ing plenty of wheat and indian corn, a herd of first-rate
horses, 1000 head of cattle, and ten children, all of whom
he could provide for with land and cattle, without putting
his hand in his pocket. By this time, no doubt, his elder
daughters are all married, and the sons he took out com-
fortably settled. What would he have been in England,
with such a family, as a tenant farmer ?
But every man, before setting out as an emigrant,
should be sure that he has good reason for going. He
should not, in the words of a celebrated author, leave his
native country " for ill-tempr, or to be pitied, or to be
regretted, or from ignorance of what is going to happen to
him, or because he is a poet; but because he has not
enough to eat here, and is sure of abundance where he is
going."

HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND

CHESHIRE,

On Thursday evening, the 23rd ult., the second meeting of
this society was held m the Board Room of the Collegiateln-
stitution, Richard Brooke, Esq., F.S.A., in the chair.
The presents to the society consisted of various books and
pamphlets, from Messrs. Thos. Heywood, F.S.A.. Pidgeon and
Ross; a large number of cuttings, illustrative of persons and
places in the district, from Mr. Heywood ; cast of the inscrip-
tion from the Runic cross, formerly at Lancaster, and now in
the possession of the Natural History Society of Manchester,
presented through the Earl of Ellesmere, president; imps ession
of a curious seal, from Mr. Reay ; and more antiquities, found
at Hoylake, from Mr. Robinson; a wood block, from Mr.
Brooke; and a model quern, from Dr. Hutne.

Numerous articles of grelit interest were exhibited. A re-
ceipt for .4'6 6s. 4d., for excise levied at Manchester by the Pre-
tender in 1745, was exhibited by Mr. Clare; and an interesting
explanation of the circumstances was given from a history of
the rebellion, by Mr. James Ray, of Whitehaven. Mr. Clare
also showed a list which he had extracted from the parish re-
cords of Wigan, of persons who were to be touched by the Kin."
at Chester, for the cure of the evil. The date was August 26th,
1647 (temp James II.) Mr. Mayer exhibited an exceedingly
interesting d, cument, the property of the Rev. Thomas B. Ing-
ham, of Rainhiil; a receipt Fated September 4th, 1643, for
money and provisions which had been furnished to the Ki. g
(Charles I.) Mr. Mayer alsoexhibited a beautiful Anglo-Roman
fibula, which had been lent by the committee of the Chester
Mechanics' Institution, together with several from his own
collection. A woodcut of the former, from a drawing by Mr.
Pidgeon, was handed round in proof, together with pictorial il-
Pastrations of the manner of wearing the article.

A few remarks were read, descriptive of the brooch fibula, or
" perone," by Mr. Pidgeon, displaying both research and good
taste. Mr. Brook exhibited three ancient and curious deeds
relative to property in Sutton, of the reign of Charles I. and
Charles 11. ; and Mr. Moore produced a complete series of
documents, acts of parliament, maps, drawings, &c., relative
to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

The first p ,per read `was by Frank Howard, Esq., "on the
historical decorations now putting up is the Grammar School,
Freston," which was illustrated by general sketches, and by
cartoons for the different divisons of the subject. it appears
that the funds of the Corporation have become accidentally
mixed up with the endowment of the Grammar School, and

the Corp Oration in settling the matter on an equitage-KotTri
have acted with great liberality towards the cause of education.
An individual, at his own ccst, has engaged Mr. Howard to
execute the series of frescoes described in the paper, so that the
young may be educated through.the eye as well as through the
understanding. The selection of proper objects, and the skill
shown in the general arrangement, showed how important it is
to the artist to be a man of general information.

The second paper was by Dr. Hume, on the
.quern recently
presented to the Society, and on band mills in general. A
working model was placed on the table, together with the Saxon
relic, and not only the places, periods, and uses of the article
Here detailed, but the allusions to it were carefully gleaned from
the Scriptures and from our Old English writers. An animated
conversation followed, in which much light was thrown on the
subject, .especially by Mr:Sutton, the Chairman, Mr. Pidgeon,
and Dr. Thom.
Some additional remarks were read by the Chairman, in con-
tinuation of his paper on the ancient Cheshire family of De la
Wyche, already in the hands of the members.

The manner of preparing the proceedings, in the interval
between every two meetings, gave great satisfaction ; and it was
announced that the forthcoming part would be accompanied by
several illustrations. The number of members was stated to be
upwards of two hundred, and rapidly increasing.

'YESTERDA Y

The supply of English Wheat by land carriage samples from
the near counties was again small this morning, and factors
were enabled to obtain last Monday's prices. In foreign Wheat
there was more business done than of late, a consideraole retail
sale to country millers having taken place, at the quotations of
this day se'nnight ; and, had factors been disposed to submit to
a reduction of Is- to 2E. per quarter, the town millers would
have been free buyers. Malting Barley in moderate supply,
and its value fully supported; distilling and grinding quali-
ties were in request at our previous quotations. Supplies of
Irish Oats increase, and such were fid. cheaper ; other descrip-
tions barely maintained late rates. Old Beans and maple Peas
were each Is. lower. New Beans, and other sorts of Peas with-
out alteration. Flour dull, but quotations remain the same.
