IMMIGRATION.
The General Government, we are informed, have been directing a good deal of attention to the subject of immigration, and are desirous of removing all cause of complaint with regard to the working of this essential portion of the "colonising scheme." With a view to this they have, we understand, instructed Dr Featherston by cable to place the Scotch Agency on its original footing of efficiency, and to resume the embarkation of emigrants from Glasgow. Aa might have been expected from the views expressed by the Minister of Immigration (Mr O'Korke) during the last session, he is resolved not to neglect Ireland as a field for emigration. A central Irish agency is to be established in Dublin, and authority has been given to deal liberally with intending emigrants. While the Scotch and Irish fields will thus be looked after, England will not be neglected, and the Agent-General has been urged to use every despatch in completing the number of emigrant* already contemplated, in addition to persons nominated in the Colony, or labourers sent out by Messrs Brogden and Sons. Under these circumstances, a large flow of emigration to this Colony may be looked for, if the petfor mance is in any degree aommeniurate with, the jpronuM.
