had been informed that the Passengers in the "Querala Blanco" were to be landed at Twofold Bay in Victoria, which being distant from Melbourne, nothing but death from starvation awaited them.

He need scarcely say such misfortune could have been averted. Twofold Bay, though distant from Melbourne, is the Port of a large pastoral district, and was of sufficient importance to induce us to despatch an Emigrant ship to it direct from this country as far back as 1848. It was no doubt the great demand for labor in this District, consequent on the access of laborers to the Gold Fields, which tempted the Owner of the "Querala Blanco" to fill his ship with passengers for that place, and if they have reached it, there can be no fear but that they will have met with ready employment.

He has the honor to be,

Sir,

Your Obedient humble servant,
