such Immigrants invariably save nearly the whole of their wages, and return to their own country, after adding in a far greater proportion to the wealth of their employers. If the first Immigrants should prosper in New Zealand, it may be confidently anticipated that an Emigration to this country of Chinese labourers and servants will be maintained spontaneously at the cost of the emigrants; but, of course, the measures for beginning such an emigration experimentally, and by way of example, call for the utmost care and circumspection. The Northern port of Shanghae has been selected for the first attempt, as being that of a part of China, where the climate is colder than that of New Zealand, and where there is a vast rural population, eagerly disposed to emigrate, and as far superior in industry, habits, and general conduct, to the sweepings of Canton which have principally supplied emigration from China to Australia, as the selected rural emigrants from Britain by whom New Zealand has been chiefly peopled, were superior to the dregs of the population of London or Manchester. In order to be sure of keeping the first experiment within manageable compass, it is intended to limit the number of emigrants to 250, of whom at least half will be specially engaged for settlers at Canterbury. Applications will be registered on the day of their receipt; and if there should be any excess of applications above the fixed limit, the deposit money on the same will be immediately returned in full.
