INFORMATION FOR EMIGRANTS In the year 1832 a little pamphlet of advice to emigrants was issued by his Majesty's Commissioners for Emigration*, which contained some useful information in a small compass. The Commission no longer exists. In lieu of it, J. Denham Pinnock, Esq., has been appointed by Government His Majesty's agent for the furtherance of emigration from England to the British Colonies. Letters on the subject of emigration should be addressed to this gentleman at the Colonial Office, under cover to the Colonial Secretary of State. One chief object of his appointment is to afford facilities and information to parish authorities and landed proprietors desirous of furthering the emigration of labourers and others from their respective districts, especially with reference to the emigration clause of the Poor Laws Amendment Act. The following Government emigration agents have also been appointed at the respective ports named:-- Liverpool ...Lieut. Low, R.N. Bristol ... Lieut. Henry, R.N. Leith ... Lieut. Forrest, R.N. Greenock ... Lieut. Hemmans, R.N. Dublin ... Lieut. Hodder, R.N. Cork ... Lieut. Friend, R.N. Limerick ... Lieut. Lynch, R.N. Belfast ... Lieut. Millar, R.N. Sligo ... Lieut. Shuttleworth, R.N. And at Quebec, A. C. Buchanan, Esq., the chief Government emigration agent, will afford every information to all emigrants who seek his advice.
