CIRCULAR.
DOWNING STREET, Oct. l6, 1850.
SiR; have to acquaint you that it has been
suggested to me that desirable class Of emf
grants from the West India colonies, might be in
duced TO come to them from among the black and
colored population of the United States, whose
arrival and location, if they choose to come,
would have no doubt, be advantageous both to
themselves and the colonies. | am not aware Of
anything which can be done by the colonial gov
arnment to encourage such immigration beyond
showing readiness to pass acts giving the
privilege of naturalization to any such per-
sons as might come and settle there and pro-
viding that bounty should be payable on such
immigrants, under such arrangements as may
be Il ought desirable. | would also suggest as
deserving of cOmmendation, whether laws might
not be passed rendering binding, ON certain con
ditions, engagements to pay sums of money,
which may have been agreed on by Immigrants,
although such engagements may have been con
tracted in America, and while the parties were in
a state OF slavery.

We extract from the Richmond Times the
following tribute to the memory of its late
Editor:
DEATH OF WILLIAM G.. CARRINGToN-Our
columns this morning are shrOuded in mourn
ing in token of respect for the memory of the
late editor aud proprietor Of this paper The
annou. cement OF his death will fall with a start
ling suddenness not only upon the distant reader,
but also upon his friends and acquaintances in
this city.
Mr.. Carrington, having graduated with dis
tinetion successvely at the College of Hampd.n
Sydney and the University of Virginia, com
the practice of law in his native county
of Charlotte The talents he exhibited gave an
CT the success which would have at
tended the further prosecution of his profession.
His tastes, nclnatons, and the wishes of some
OF his friends, however, induced him for time
to abandon his profession, and he, on the Sd of
April lS45, undertook the duties of editing this
paper. From that time down almost to the day
OF his death he labored most faithfully, encr
getlca'ly and successfully. and the columns oil
this paper gave daily evidence not only of the
research, labor and industry, but also of tie
skill, genias and judgement with which he pre-
pared his articles. The dignf d and elevated
tone of his paper won the respect and admira-
ton of all.
At the recent election in December. he was
elected by a large majority to seat n the legis
lature under the new constitution. A new and
brighter career seemed suddenly opened TO him.
But the voice of congratulation is hnshed in the
sob of flamenta,ion--tears of grief flow on cheeks
lately blooming with smiles--his earthly career
has been ru~--he died at his post--"The wheel
has been broken at the cistern."
His death falls with crushing force upon his
widow, their infant daughter and large circle
of near relations and friends. Those who knew
him best loved him most 1t is not our part to
write bis eulogy. We have lost the bosom
friend of our youth -
Screen be the turf above thee,
Friend Of our better days;
None knew thee but to love thee
None named thee but to praise
