The EMIGRATION GAZETTE AND COLONIAL ADVOCATE has always devoted its pages to advocating the various Colonial interests, not only affording to the intending Emigrant the fullest stores of information respecting the climate, sod, productions, con and various advantages of each particular Colony, and promoting, to the greatest extent, the various streams of Emigration to their shores but also, in the fairest and fullest manner, advocating the Colonial interests at home, so that they may be kept constantly before the public eye, their grievances redressed, abuses removed and discouraged, and the greatest possible advantages secured. The efforts of this Paper being thus constantly devoted to prevent the Emigration of British capital and industry to foreign countries and direct it to the British Colonies, the Propriet r confidently urges his claim to the support of the Colonial community, and solicits the subscriptions and advertisements of British Colonists to this paper.

THE Friends and Acquaintances of the late Mr.
John Henry Moor, for many years Head Master of the Singapore Institution Free School, will learn with regret that he died without leaving means to satisfy the claims against his Estate, and that his Widow and a family of eight Children, the eldest of whom is a Girl of fifteen, and the youngest an infant of three months old, are thus left in a state of absolute destitution. In a case so peculiarly distressing it is trusted that the Communities of the Straits Settlements where the deceased was so long and so well known, will feel that this Orphan Family have no common claims on their charity and benevolence, which have heretofore never been appealed to in vain.
This Paper is put in circulation by the following Gentlemen, who will form a temporary Committee for the collection of the funds subscribed, and until the same be placed in the hands of the Trustees appointed by the Subscribers at large for its future disposition and management for the benefit of the family.
