Our aim is rather to help and assist intending passengers than to persuade persons to emigrate ; but we would remark that the reliable official reports from most of the fields for settlers, and especially from the other side of the Atlantic, certainly all point to a very large increase in emigration this year, so that those making up their minds to make a start should lose no more time in deciding than is necessary in doing so.

PITT & SCOTT. i 1 PREFACE TO THE 1882 EDITION. I V THIS HANDBOOK has been published to supply the intending " Ocean Passenger " with a variety of informa- tion and practical notes which have been suggested to us during our past experience, while representing, as Passenger Agents, the principal lines of steamers or sailing vessels engaged in the passenger- carrying trade. The notes as to procedure that a passenger would probably make, after considerable inrjuiry, before starting, we have partly anticipated, or have perhaps made suggestions on points that might have been overlooked. In a " Pocket Handbook " it w^ould be out of place, not to say impossible, to enter into the merits of the various " fields for settlers abroad ; " but we have gone so far as to impartially take notice of some new or well-known works, that we recommend, and to point out the most advisable ways of getting precise information about certain countries or districts. The other subjects that we have alluded to comprise the many minor details which specially concern the intending Passenger before starting, viz., the route to take, the cost, the accommo- dation, wJien to go, what to take, the luggage and shipping the insurance, the embarking, the voyage, the landing, tin passing through customs, &c. The demand for our previous publications of " Practical Notes for Passengers" has shown an evident appreciation. Xll PREFACE. which has induced us to adopt the present more convenient form of handbook, and we are encouraged in this opinion by the courteous and valuable assistance we have received from the various colonial representatives and steamship companies. Our object has been to aim as far as possible at utility and accuracy. PITT & SCOTT. 44, St. Paul's Churchyard, London, E.C. -, CORRESPONDENCE. U'OP!/.] United States Consulate, Messrs. Pitt & Scott. NEWCASTLE-UrOX-'rYNB, 18th November, 1882. Dear Sirs, — I learu with great satisfaction that you are extending your Emigration business. Tiie character and jwsition of passenger agents are questions of the greatest possible importance to all who are interested in emigration ; and I regret to think that men are frequently appointed as agents, who are devoid of intelligence, and wanting in that position in the community, which imparts confidence to intending emigrants. To sever con- nection witli native land is a step of the most serious importance, attended by doubts and heartburnings, hopes and misgivings, and the person about to take this important st«'t> is entitled to the best and the most i*eliable information, from men ■• intelligence and character are guarantees that they are honest and in i " .j misleading ; and I heartily wish that no agents were appointed until after painstaking scrutiny were made concerning them. People continue to leave these shores for the West in ever increasing num- bers. During the year ending June 30th (18^2) last,* 180,000 emigrated from the British Isles to the States; and the total emigration from all countries aggregated nearly 8 jO,000 during the same period. I have no doubt that the numbers for the ensuing year will be even greater than those of 1881, and I sincerely hope that intending emigrants will be fortunate enougli-to apply for passage ticket and information to agents whose position and character shall l->c guarantees for strictly honourable transactions. Yours very truly, EVAN E. JONES, (Author of '' The Emigrants' Friend.) » • Period from July lsf,.1881, to June oOtfi, 1882. I t r % i THE PRINCIPAL FIELDS FOR SETTLEMENT f The above Comprise — (1) CANADA and the UNITED STATES (2) AUSTRALIA. (3) NEW ZEALAND. (4) CAPE COLONY. ■•I ■i. CANADA. This, th-* greatest of our colonies, has continued her unex- ampled '• progress during the past year. We cannot, in a general pocket guide, attempt to expatiate on the advantages and disadvantages of Canada as a field for settlement, but we can assist our readers by suggesting the most desirable new pamphlets and descriptive books from which they can gather for themselves considerable reliable information. Amongst the latest printed matter supplied to us for distri- bution to intending emigrants applying to us, there is an excellent new map of the Canadian Pacific Railway, showing the tremen- dous strides westwards that this company is making. The routes from Europe are shown on the back, together with a view of the prosperous city of Winnipeg. A very practical pictorial is the Christmas number of the Winnipeg Illustrated, in which pictures of the principal public buildings, and Jbusiness establishments, are given. However, Winnipeg will probably have but a passing interest for the agi-i- cultural settler. ** Along the Line," is a small paper containing reports from the local postmasters at the various new stations of the Canadian Pacific Railway. There are several letters from recent settlers, dating from the end of November, 1882. As the land grant of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company amounts c ■ - - . • 1! 14 THK EailGRANTS GUIDE. to 25,000,000 lUMVs, iiK^stly of good jvgricultural land, it will be advisable to give all this Company's printed handbooks careful attention ; for just as an experienced traveller, on entering a new town in Europe, will refer to maps, and directories, or guide- books, so ought the emigrant to make himself acquainted beforehand, by patient study, with his new country. We have the printed regulations for the sale of land of this railway, and various other interesting papers, amongst which, a speech of the Marquis of Lome, a pamphlet entitled " The North-West," by Elie Tasse, in which some of the frauds and tricks perpetrated on arriving immigrants ara exposed. "What Farmers say of their Personal Experience in the Canadian North- West," contains a number of reports from various parts on the subjects of the climate, the soil, wood and fuel, grasses and hay. cattle, crops, &c. " Misrepresentation Exposed," is a small interesting pamphlet on the seasons of Manitoba, published by the agricultural department of the Government of Canada. The Colonial Office have approved of a new pamphlet entitled " A Handbook of In- formation to the Dominion of Canada," published by the agri- cultural department of the Government of Canada ; every emigrant should read it. The Allan Mail Steamship Company have supplied us with a small handbook containing about 40 pages of useful reading matter, being mainly composed of notes made on a tour through Quebec, Manitoba, and the North-West teiTitoiy ; the pamphlet also contains particulars of crops and letters from settlers. We give below a few letters that we have selected from a large assortment, as they specially illustrate the ideas of settlers on the spot. The climate of Canada is, in the long winter, un- doubtedly very severe, and unsuitable to many, and the life is to some extent a lonely one, and one of continual hard work, un- suitable to those of delicate constitutions or used to town life, but the reports all speak of the climate as a most healthy one for the strong ; the land, as one of the best in the world for agricultural purposes ; and the people as all full of energy and hope, and perseverance in overcoming the difficulties which lie in the path of all settlers in new countries.

I arrived at Point Levi, Quebec, and had not been landed 10 minutes before I got work at 2 dels, per day and a free pass up to my work. We could do with 200 men now at one firm, and about two miles from hero there are about 400 men wanted, and 150 at another place near t<». Men have not got to ask for work here, they are jolly soon asked if they want work. Where I am it is a beautiful country, we can go I )ut on the lakes and fish, or go hiinting where we like without tres- passing. There's any quantity of deer, and you can shoot as many as you like. I should like to say more, but my time is precious, having so many to write to. If you have anyone coming out send them here. By applying to the Government Emigration OflB-cer, at Quebec, he will give them a free pass up to Kingston, which is about 50 miles from here.

We have received the following letter from Mr. Hoare, who sailed from Oxford for America in the Allan Line Royal Mail Steamer '* Polynesian," in July last. Trenton, Ontario, Canada West. Dear Mr. Editor, — Being a native of Oxford, will you kindly allow me a small space in your columns, thinking it may be of some good to other intending emigrants, knowing that work is very scarce Kl THE emigrants' GUIDE. iu Oxford, and there are many that would come to Canada only for the want of knowing if reports are correct. I will give you a little at-eount of what I have found and experienced about it during the short time I have been here. Firstly, there is plenty of work and i^ood wages j I can earn, as a labourer in a saw mill, from nine to ten • lollars per week, £2 in English money. We can live cheaper— meat, the best, from nine to ten cents per pound (4Jd. to 5d.)- Clothing- about the same as at home ; any careful man can save from 5 dollars a week, and live well. The people are very sociable j wherever we have been we have met with kindness. The climate has been very warm, but we are beginning to feel a little of the winter coming on now. Labourers are about the principal men wanted out here. When we came we sailed by the Allan Line Itoyal Mail Steamer " Polynesian," and we found everything as com- fortable as one could possibly expect on board ship. Any emigrants who think of coming, I should aidvise to travel by that line. One word more; all emigrants who intend coming must make up their minds to work if they wish to get on, as money is not to be picked up, as some people suppose. There are good wages, but people must make up their minds to work for them. Yours truly. WM. H. HOARE, October 25th. Late of 81, Great Clarendon Street. From the Yoekshire Post of December 1st, 1882. Mr. Jaques, of Thirsk, sends for publication the following letter which he has received from an emigrant in Canada : — Dear Sir, — You will almost think T have forgotten you, but it is not the case. I wanted to be well settled down before I wrote to you. Well, we were kindly treated by the railway companies' servants, and on ari'iving at Liverpool we were met by the agent of the company, who kindly entertained us with all we needed, and saw us safely down to the dock for a moderate charge. I am glad to say that I and my family got well over the sea voyage. We had very little sea-sickness. I was only sick half a day. My wife bore the voyage first-class ; many people said she would never get over it ; she was only delicate, but it has done her good. We were kindly treated on board the " Sarmatian." We had plenty of good beef and plum pudding. It is a splendid ship. I felt as safe in her as though! had been at home. Nobody need be afraid of going a voyage with the Allstn steamers, at least I think so. On arriving at Quebec I gave Mr. Stafford the note you gave me, and he kindly sent us on to Ingersoll. On arriving there I had a chance of several places. I got engaged to a farmer for a year at 18 dollars a month, an eight-roomed t ..-«».<. ..-.-..

Gradually, however, the truth began to leak oi\t respecting the agri- cultural value of the proviuce, aud eventually the Hudson IJ.iy Com- pany in 1S7() sold the bulk of their territorial rights in it to Canada. The Government of Canada have lost no time in throwing this hitherto almost unknown tract of land open to settlers, whilst the constnicti(tn of a railway across the continent to link the Canadian colonies from Nova Scotia to British Colombia is proceeding at the rate of between throe and four miles daily. Already in Manitoba, which is now accessible by rail, large towns have sprung up, the most important of which is Winnipeg, the rapid growth of which has simply been astounding. The demand for labour in this new country is naturally very groat, and it was only the other week that a party of emigrants from Ireland, sent out by the South Dublin Union, were, immediately they landed at Quebec, seized upon Ijy two agents on the look-out for the services of immigrants and engaged as labourers at wages which even in this country first-class artisans seldom obtain. The testimony of the genthuuan who took these poor Irisli emigrants over to Canada is that there emigrants are " sure to find iumiediate employment ;" whilst " the country is admirably adapted and offers great inducements for the emigration of young men of the labouring class and women and domestic servants." Of the climate of Manitoba and the North- West Px-ovince gene- rally the most favourable accounts are given. Of course, no one could expect in that northern region that it would be a lazy man's paradise, the winters being described as long and cold and the sum- mers ehox't and fiercely hot, but the shortness of the latter is compensated for in a great measure by the great length of the mid- summer days. " Nevertheless, observes an American writer, who might 1)0 thought to have some prejudice in the matter, and whose description of the winter and summer we have just alluded to, " it is a land where wheat and many other grain and root crops attain their fullest perfection, and is well fitted to be the home of a vigorous and healthy race." Again he says, *' The climate of this region is far from what one would expect from its northern latitude. While it cannot be said to bo entirelj' safe from early frosts as far north as Dungevan, in latitude 5G degrees, there is seldom any from the middle of May to September, and even the tender cucumber attains maturity. Wheat ripens as far north as Fort Simpson, in latitude 02 degrees, whilst wheat and barley from the Lake Athabasca district took a medal at the Centennial. So much for the climate of the North-West Province from an American point of view. The Archbishop of Toronto, who writes from his experience of a tour through the country, says, " The climate of Manitoba and the North-West is very cold in the winter, but the people are well prepared for it. Besides, the air, being free from I' Ol THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE. moisture, is not so penetrating as iu Iroliind, where the pores of the body are kept open by the humid atmosphere. The soil is in most places exceedingly fertile. I have travelled through the country, and was astonished at the size of the potatoes and vegetables. The winter is long, hut the vegetation is very rapid, and the crops ripen comparativly soon. The country is filling up very rapidly with inhabitants, many of whom sold out in Ontario, to have homesteads for their children. I have /ound Irish everywhere and prospering." Father Nugent, who has recently returned from a visit to Canada and the great North- West, in the interests of the Irish emigrant, bears similar testimony to the adaptability of this fertile tract of territory for emigration pui'poses, besides which there is a consensus of opinion that the Dominion of Canada offers advantages to toe emigrant which are not to be found in the United States. Manitoba being the most accessible portion of the North-West Province for the present ifc is there that most of the emigrants find a settlement; but as the Canadian Pacific Railway is extended across the Continent we may expect to see the whole of the province gradually occupied, and its great wheat-producing resources fully tapped for the benefit of the settlers and also the mother country. At the present moment the Government of Canada, seein-^ the great future that is in store for Manitoba and the North-West Province in general, is selling its lands to companies, who are placing settlers on them, who afterwards repay the companies for any advance of cash made to them for building houses, tilling a small portion of land to help the settler to commence, and advance provisions till the new crop enables the farmer and his family to live. There is this little difficulty in getting an allotment, and once that is obtained by a man willing to put his shoulder to the wheel, he has little trouble in push- ing his way in the land of his adoption. It is hard to comprehend, looking at the condition of things in Ireland, and having regard to what Mr. Gladstone has rptly described as the prevailing "land hunger," why it is there can be any objection urged against the small tenant farmer in Ireland emigrating from a place of poverty to what is really a land of plenty. It is true that the Archbishop of Toronto, in his letter already referred to, says he would not undertake to advise anyone to leave Ireland who could live in it in moderate comfort, excepting it might be parents having large families, who see nothing in the future for their children but poverty or emigration individually. Neither would anyone else, but when we read of thousands of people at present in some of the bleakest parts of Ireland in a state of actual starvation, and reduced to a condition of pauperism through no fault of their own perhaps, but chiefly if not solely owing to the inability of the land to support them, he is no true friend of the Irish people who would object to emigration to a considerable extent to a place where there is land for the million easily obtainable, and which only requires to be turned over to yield food in abundance for all and to spare. It is not really a matter of capital, even, as the following extract from a letter from an emigrant to a friend at home will show. •"V i THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE. 23 ores of the is in most intry, and I'ho winter niparativly nts, many • children. 2rent, who at North- testimony migration that the h. are not rth-West ants find ed aci'oss province ces fully country. :he great )vince in ttlers on of cash land to the new is little 7 a man n push- rehond, gard to •^and small •o what oronto, ake to >mfort, othing iually. people actual ) fault ibility people place only nd to )wing show. The letter is written from Troy, in the North-West Territory, and the writer is a Dublin man. He says : — " When leaving Dublin I promised to write to you, so I now propose giving you an account of myself since I left the * Old Sod,' which I think is the best way to describe my progress. I arrived in Winnipeg, July, 1881, with only one sovereign in my possession, and immediately went to Mr. Hespler, the Canadian Government Agent, whom I found a very nice man indeed. He sent me out 50 miles from Winnipeg, to a farm, where I buckled to work. After being there a short time I started for the North-west Territory with a party of four, when, after travelling 2G days, we settled down here. At that time. So t., 1881, there was not a soul nearer than Qu'Appelle — just 20 miles ; at the present time the land is taken up for miles aud miles around us. It is re.ally marvellous the rapidity with which the Canadian Pacific Railway is being built — nearly 4 miles a day. It passes beside where I live, and the journey that took us "IG days last fall can now be accomj dished in 12 hours. I have a quarter of a section of land (160 acres) within half-a-mile of the railroad, and I have a house built upon it and some ploughing done. Of course the first year one cannot expect to have much, but next year I hope to have a good crop. If I had some capital I should have had a fine crop this year, but I have been obliged to work out for some time. However, I have not been idle, as you will see from the enclosed advei'tisement. I own an hotel in the town, and I am now my own master. I will be nble to hire a man next year, when I hope to have good crops, and a new house built on my land. The soil is all that can be desired for farming, and some of the crops that I have seen up here far excel any that I have ever seen before ; one crop of oats I saw in the Qu'Appelle Valley was really a picture to look at ', in fact, all grain crops ripen well, and vegetables grow in the greatest abundance. I am really very happy out here ; I assure you I would not take 4o00 a year and go back to work in an office in Dublin. The climate is really splendid ; of course it is a little severe in winter, but the atmosphere is clear .and bracing, and, on the whole, I am really delighted with the change I have made. I wonder more do not emigrate when such chances are before them out here. No person can be much worse off than I was when I landed in Winnipeg, so it clearly shows that something can be done without caj)ita]." Another emigrant who left Dublin aud settled in Manitoba gives the following interesting account of the result of his first year's operation^ on a farm of G40 acres, of which this season he bad 100 acres under cultivation : — " I arrived at the town site of Brandon on the 28th of May, 1881, and commenced to break my land on the 5th of June, doing the most part of the worlv by contract, paying t dols. per acre for breaking, and 3 dols. 50c. for back-setting. This, as you know. % I ■; ; 24 THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE. left it ready for the harrow. I sowed 350 acres of oats, 20 acres of wheat — the balance in roots and other crops. I commenced to sow on the 5th of May, and commenced to cut my wheat on the 26th August, going on until the whole of my wheat and oats were cut — this season being late, as you see from the time T commenced to sow and cut. Seeding time usually begins about the 15th of April, and harvest from the 1st to the 10th of August. I have up to now thrashed about 14,000 bushels of oats, and find the yield 58 bushels per aero. The wheat will yield 30 bushels per acre. These are actual figures and not got up. Oats sell very readily at 50 cents per bushel. You can see from this that I will have my entire expenditure returned, with 100 per cent. , by the first crop, so that I am not farming for fun, but to make money, and I think I am succeeding. There is no difficulty in a man farming here if he has ordinary energy and in- telligence. A good stock of the former is even better, in my opinion, than an overstock of capital. Many young men from towns and cities that have come out this season with a little money appear anxious to learn farming, as they call it, and give some of our cunning ones from 400 dols. to 600 dols. and their labour for one year to teach them nothing, as you know already. Any of the above classes that have ■come to me I have advised to go on to their land and work, and, if they have no confidence in themselves, to go and hire for moderate wages for a year with some good farmer, and keep their money. Now SiS to the price of labour : it was pretty high when you were here, but it is higher now. When I commenced seeding I hired my men at 26 dols. and board per month for the season, except the harvest month, for which I paid them 30 dollars each. Extra men for the harvest I paid 2 dollars per day with board. The men that I have now at work thrashing I am paying 2 dols. 50c. and board. This of itself will explain to you the demand for labour. My root crop is still in the ground for want of labour, notwithstanding the above high rates. The labourers on the Canadian Pacific Eailroad work get 2 dols. 25c. and even higher. There is a good deal of work done on the streets of Brandon, at which labourers are getting 2 dols. 50c. to 2 dols. 75c., and their board only costs them from 4 dols. 50c. to 5 dols. 50c. a week. Carpenters are getting from 3 dols. to 4 dols. a day, and you have to take oif your hat to get them at that. You cannot imagine the hurry and bustle there is in this country compared to what there had been when you were here. We have the country beyond a doubt ; all we want is a good class of emigrants ; we cannot have an over stock of farmers, farm labourers, and mechanics." Here, then, is an opening for the Irish farmer, in poor circum- stances and the labourer in poverty to jump at. A large sum of money is to be devoted by the State in furthering emigration from Ireland, and this North- West Province of Canada affords an oppor- tune field for carrying this State-aided emigration into effect. A small Irish farmer with a small capital, on landing in Canada, has a comfortable future before him, which is opulence itself compared with what may be his present miserable and poverty-stricken THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE. 25 20 acres iced to sow )n the 26th were cut — iced to sow April, and w thrashed per acre, aal figures 3hel.

A >> has a npared bricken existence ; and why should he hesitate in availing himself of this mode of Lettering himself, his wife, and his family, especially when Government is willing to assist him in getting to this new sphere of more profitable toil and labour ? Love of country, it may be replied, is an inducement for him to remain at home ; but patriotism of this sort is not patriotism at all, but merely maudlin sentiment. The starving farmer or labourer who emigrates to a country where he can live in comparative comfort shows more patriotism than ho who re- mains at home to die, perhaps, of starvation ; and, although emigration on a wholesale scale may not be the cure for all of Ireland's grievances, thei-e is no doubt, if carried out within reasonable bounds, it will very much tend to her improvement by I'cmoving from her midst a large proportion of her surplus population, for which at present she has neither work nor food. Emigration to Canada, moreover, is not the dreadful ordeal it must have been fifty years ago, when there were no well-appointed steamers to take the emigrant to his destination, such as those owned by Messrs. Allan Brothers & Co., the pioneers of steam navigation to Canada. The sea passage is of brief duration, and whilst it lasts the emigrant is made as comfortable as it is pos- sil)le for any one to be who, perhaps, has never been to sea before. Of this we are certain, that whether the Irish people take advantage of the present opportunities of settling in comfortable homes in Canada or not, there is no doubt that large numbers of both English and Scotch farmers are month by month finding their way to this emigrants' agricultural El Dorado. The emigration returns for the year up to the 30th November last show that no fewer than 162,267 emigrants landed in Quebec, of whom 73,522 found their way to the- United States, leaving 88,715 who settled in the Dominion. In addi- tion to this number, most of whom, it may be presumed, found their way to Manitoba and farther westwards, there were during the same- period many settlers, returns regarding whom cannot be got until after the end of the year. Great as these numbers are, they are but a drop in the Canadian bucket, and there is room and to spare in this new province of the Dominion for many many hundreds of thousands of people, not only from Ireland^ but from all parts cf the United Kingdom. Intending settlers should apply to us for a set of pamphlets (free), or read " The Guide to Manitoba " (by Wyatt), post free, 7d., or "A Year in Manitoba," by a retired officer, post free, Is. 2d. There are numerous other free handbooks published by the Canadian and Pacific Railroad Comi)any, the Hudson Bay Company, and others. We might also mention a little handbook by E. Hepple Hall, " Lands of Plenty in the New North-West," Is. 2d., post free, which, if THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE. not of so recent date, at least contains much very carefully compiled information. Passengers should proceed from Liverpool, direct to Quebec or Halifax, or by way of New York. We recommend the route via Liverpool. You get to sea sooner, and liave a greater choice of steamers at that port, thus gaining in time and comfort. Still it sometimes suits travellers to start from London. The journey to Livei'pool takes about five hours ; there are frequent trains.

The emigrant will be able to form some faint idea of the importance of the United States in so far as regards settlement, from the fact that from the 1st July, 1881, to end of June, 1882, over 789,000 emigrants landed from other countries at the various ports of that country. The facts of the journey being little over a week, the steamships occupied in the conveying of emigrants being the finest in the world, and the cost of passage being reduced by competition to the low present rate of £4 4s. per adult, make emigration to America a very simple matter, as compared with what it was years ago, when the passenger had to suffer all the discomforts and delay of a long voyage in a sailing vessel.

The conditions vary so that the reader Avould only l^e confused with comparisons. He must recollect that the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean is 2,700 miles, while the average distance from North to South is about 1,500 miles, the total area including Alaska is about 3,543,000 square miles, so that it is apparent that a country twenty- five times as large as the United Kingdom, and with every variety of land r.nd climat*^. requires much consideration. This starting off in ignorance on the part of emigrants is frequently the cause of considerable misery, to say nothing of the incon- venience and fraud they lay themselves open to. Their whole path is lined with land or railway agents, some respectable, others not so, and here and there speculators, interested in their own special schemes, to the exclusion of all others. Major Jones (United States Consul), whom we have before referred to, remarks as follows : — '• Take the hint. Don't emigrate in a fever, but consider the question in every aspect. The ' mother country ' must be left behind, the family ties — the old associations — broken. Turn it over in your mind. Talk it over with your wife, your father, or friend. Be sure that you look at the dark side of the picture — the broad Atlantic, the dusty ride to the great West, the scorching sun. the cold winter — coldest ever you experienced — and the hard work. Y(ju may take my word for it, they work harder than in the old country. But if you finally, with your eyes open, decide to emigrate, do it like a man. with no divided heart. Don't follow the example of some men, whom I have known by whining and occupying your leisure liours in making everlasting comparisons between the land you left and the land you live in, to the detriment of the latter.

Wo consider tho best general work on the United States to be "Tbo Emigrant's Friend/' by Major Jouos, United States Consul. We send it post free for 2s. 8d. It treats on the whole of the United States, and gives the most complete information as to rates of wages, cost of living, various crops, mining, populations, &c. The tables of wages are very complete, and every one thinking of settling in the States will certainly gain additional and valuable informa- tion from this book. We have received a warm recommendation of it from the Washington Bureau of Statistics. It is practically an official work. PRELIMINARY INQUIRIES AS TO THE VOYAGE TO AMERICA. Intending passengers should make notes of the following points :— • (1.) Where going to. (2.) When, (3.) Who going (note the ages of children under 12 years). (4.) What class. (5.) What trade, if asking advice. These particulars will enable the agent to give the fullest information, and also, frequently, the through fare in full, by tho most suitable route to final destination. A misconception exists amongst some intending passengers respecting the rates quoted to them, and they have been known to make weary journeys, inquiring repeatedly at every agency they could find out. It may save trouble our stating that " fixed rates " are strictly adhered to by " all Linos " engaged in the " Atlantic trade " from London or Liver- pool, so that no one agent can possibly offer any better terms than another agent of the same Company. The particulars of the quantity of luggage allowed each passenger, tho charge for excess luggage, the rates for insurance of luggage, for life in- surance, the fares for children and infants, also fixed rates for the collection and putting on board of luggage at London or Liverpool, &c., will be found in tables on pages 87 and 88, and will enable the intending passenger to make the final arrangements for his comfortable embarkation. es to be «'Tho We send it tes, and gives iving, yarioug > thinking of ible informa- Washington i THE EMIOBANTS* GUIDE. 35 BOOKING PASSAGE. The berths on the steamer should be secured as early as possible, in Advance, by paying to the agents a deposit on account of passage money in •exchange for contract ticket, viz. ; saloon £5, intermediate £2, or steerage £1 deposit. The Quion Line require saloon or intermediate half fare. Other than saloon passengers must present themselves at the Head OflBce of tho Lino at Liverpool, boforo 8 p.m. on the evening before sailing. The balance of the passage money must be paid before embarka- tion, either to the Agents, or at the Head OflHce of the Line.

We would here again point out the necessity of heads of families seeing that all are vaccinated; indeed, it is advisable to obtain a certificate of vaccination from a proper medical authority. As the landing-stage, the offices of the steamship companies, and the railway stations are all within twenty minutes* walk, there is much more convenience in getting away than in London, The passengers* luggage must be taken on board from the land- ing-stage and cannot be shipped from the docks. We are able to undertake the collecting and conveying to Liverpool of luggage and putting it on board at inclusive through rates, see page 87. A line of tramway runs the whole length of the Liverpool Docks, so that a passenger, for a few pence, can go and inspect any pai'- ticular steamer in the port. Starting from Liverpool, the passenger is out fairly on his way in the St, George's Channel within an hour. The route through that prosperous City has truly been termed " The Highway to America," and even the style of the people in the streets more resembles that of New York than in any other town in the kingdom. If the emigrant has any time to spare he will do well to pay a visit to the Museum, St, George's Hall, and other interesting buildings in this City.

II THE ALLAN MAIL LINE. With its regular sailings for Quebec, Halifax, Boston, Portland and Baltimore, competes for the passenger going north, west, or south, and so becomes known to thousands and thousands scattered throughout the whole of Canada and the United States. The Allan Mail Line Steamer "Parisian." The "Parisian," the latest new steamer of the service, is one of the finest and most comfortable steamers afloat for all classes of passengers. The Allan line for Canadian passengers is without a rival, and is much patronised by Royalty. The passage across the Atlantic to Quebec in the summer, or to Halifax in the winter, is the shortest. The average voyage, land to land, not being more than six days ; once within the Straits of Belle Isle the THE EMIGBANTS' GUIDE. 45 continued.

Emigrants for Canada should always obtain the little pamphlets <* Information and Advice for Emigrants," by the Allan Line, as it contains macy particulars concerning the journey, which we need not give here. The discipline on the Allan steamers is excellent, most of the ofiBcers and crews have spent many yedrd in the service, and, consequently, are well experienced. In the spring the intermediate and steerage births have for some years past been all booked full a long period before dates of departure, 90 we would advise emigrants, in order to prevent disappointment, to fix a date early in advance and book their passages. If, through some un- avoidable and unforeseen circumstance, the passengers should desire to postpone the time of their sailing, they should immediately make a written application to us, which we will put before the Company. We need only remark further, that we have found in such circum- stances, that the passengers have invariably been tHreated in a just and satisfactory manner. A misconception will sometimes cause passengers to put off their bookings until the last moment, when they probably find the steamers quite full, or the best berths all gone. The Allan line of Royal Mail steamers conveyed safely across the Atlantic to the States and Canada during the year 1882 over 55,000 passengers, and it is expected and anticipated that this number will be largely increased during the present year. THE GUION LINE MAIL STEAMEBS. of the ?er8. I much or to land, le the This line has come to the front with extraordinary success. All classes of passengers speak in terms of the most unqualified satisfaction and praise of the last two splendid steamers, the "Alaska" and the "Arizona." The two fastest steamers in the whole Atlantic service. The intermediate accommodation is unusually comfortable, so much so, that the intermediate berths have to be secured long before the departure of the steamers, especially during the spring and summer months. The saloon accommo- dation on the " Alaska " is superb. She is lit up by the electric light, and, we believe, there are about 500 different lights throughout the vessel. We give for our readers a few of the passages made by the steamers *' Alaska " and " Arizona " of this line. Illi !■ m 46 THE emigrants' GUIDE. FASTEST PASSAGES ON RECORD. The " Alaska," Guion mail steamer, the " Greyhound of the Atlantic," left Liverpool for New York, January 21 at, and arrived back at Liverpool,. February 11th, making the voyage out and home in 21 days 3 hours, including all detention in unloading and loading at New York and several hours detention at sea by fog, her passage home being made in 6 days,. 23 hours, 42 minutes. The following are the distances run each day^ 326, 360, 430, 409, 396, 381, 378 miles, and 136 miles to Liverpool. 7 h., 46 m. 8 h., 34 m. 6 h., 43 m. 4 h., 32 m. h., 28 m. 4 h., 10 m. S. S.

The enterprising managers of the Guion line seem determined to take the lead, for another new steamer, to be called the " Oregon," will be- put on the berth early in July. She will be larger than the " Alaska,"" and it is expected that she will exceed her in speed. Messrs. Guion and Company evidently recognise the fact that pas- sengers will discern and appreciate the high qualities of their steamers,, and they certainly deserve all the support they get for their enterprise^ in putting on the Atlantic service some of the finest and fastest steamera afloat. . . : THE GUNABD LINE. Looking down the latest list of steamers, wo find several magnificent additions, the latest of which is the " Aurania." She is 7,500 tons gross register, built of steel ; length 470 feet, breadth 37 feet, depth 39 feet. Her great beam naturally gives her very great stability. The Cunard M • THE EMIGBANTS' GUIDE. 47 line has made the most prominent boast of the reputation for safety which it possesses, and eyen appearance has been subordinated out of consideration for strength and safety, thus the ^' Aurania " has no less than 11 watertight bulkheads, all of -which are carried up to the upper dock. She will carry a large spread of sail. She carries 500 first-class passengers, in 150 large state rooms. She has good steerage accommodation for about 1,000 emi- grants, but will not always carry them, and, although not so long as the *'Servia," she is expected even to surpass her in speed. Passengers undoubtedly show a decided preference for the fastest steamers, so that some of the second-rate lines, although offering very tolerable accom- modation, simply because they take four or five days longer than the best steamers, do not receive the support they did formerly. Mr. James Thomson (the great shipbuilder on the ClydeX truly likens the Atlantic voyage from Liverpool to New York, to a great ferry, in which steamers, exclusively passenger, will be engaged ; the goods traffic being carried on by the older and slower steamers. There is no line that has for such a period of years kept its name up so well as the " Clnard." THE AMESIGAN LINE STEAMERS Under the American flag, running between Liverpool and Philadelphia, offer special inducements to those going to Philadelphia, or west. The inland railroad fares being frequently cheaper, and the landing beincj more convenient, than at New York. The fleet consists of about a dozen first- class vessels. f?Ll'- THE WHITE STAB LINE STEAMERS From their great size and speed are all groat favourites, and they are especially so with Americans, who largely patronise this line. The last new steamer is called the •' Ionic ;" she is fitted up with several new improvements, comprising the electric light, life-saving appli- ances, and pantries for supplying tea, coffee, &c., ready made. She is built of steel, and is 440 feet long. Gross registered tonnage 5,000 tons. The " Doric " is a sister ship to the " Ionic," and will shortly follow her. Letters for outward bound passengers must be registered. 48 I !

The accommodation is of course very inferior to saloon, but it includes bed, bedding, requisite utensils, and an abundant supply of good cooked provisions. Indeed complaints about provisions on the Atlantic voyage by steamers of the good lines are literally unknown. The pro« visions are examined, and put on board under the inspection of her Majesty's Emigration Officers. Boxes required on the voyage should not exceed twenty inches in height. NIAGARA Is thus spoken of by one of the British Farmer Delegates :— *' To stand and watch one hundred million tons of water, travelling at the rate of 2G mile* an hour, falling 160 foet, and rebounding from the rocks below, forming clouds of spray, is a sight never to be forgotten."

This low fare, which iuclndes an ample supply of good provisions, ia hardly likely to remain unchanged as the busy spring season comes on. Wo therefore recommend intending emigrants to fix tho date of their doparturo now at once, and to secure their passages at the reduced rate by sending to us a payment on account of £1 per adult, together with a list of the n.ames and ages, also the Lino and date of sailing when they wish to proceed. On receipt of theao particulars, together with the deposit, wo shall bo prepared, until further notice to the contrary, to issue tickets for any date in advance, at the reduced rate of £4 4s. per head. The accommodation by the best steamers is usually all booked many weeks before they sail in the busy season. Cortainagents are advertising from London to Now York at lower rates ; but they should, in common fairness to the passengers, inform them that they first have to proceed to the Continent, and are then transferred either to a Dutch or French steamer, which we coiisider unsuitable for English emigrants, and therefore never recommend ; indeed we frankly decline to book for such lines, and the intending emigrant should bear in mind that in proceeding to his destination by a Continental Line he loses all tho protection of the " British Passengers' Act " which the legislature ha» specially passed to prevent his being imposed upon by designing persons. The administration of the " British Passengers' Act " is vested in the Board of Trade (which has taken the place of the Old Emigration Commissioners), and emigration offices are stationed at tho following places : — London LiVBRPOOL Glasgow Leith NkwOABtlb Hull Plymouth Cabdiff Dublin qusbnstown Londonderry If tho emigrant has reason to believe that he is not being fairly treated, any of these officers at the above ports will at once, on application being made to them, investigate the case, tell the emigrant his exact legal position, and, if advisable, take the necessary legal steps to protect him from fraud, &c. 52 THE EMIGRANTS* GUIDE. M Instancea of this nature frequently occur, so that it is well that W dowi emigrants generally should realise the fact that the main object of the 3 maini appointment of the emigration offices is to afford gratuitously to poor M certal emigrants all possible assistance, to protect them against fraud and im- J| the sj position, and to obtain redress when oppression or injury has been 1 lattei practised on them. We cannot too strongly impress upon emigrants to M emigj beware of " Continental Lines," some of which even go so far as to adver- ' vcyoj tise the words « DIRECT to New York, from LONDON," which are false. GBOSS GBTJELT7 TO EmGBANTS ON THE VOYAGE TO AMEBIGA. The DaiVy Chronicle of 27th December, 1880, publishes the following, ^vhich we give word for word, as it may prove an effectual warning to some of the poorer classes of emigrants, who are attracted by low rates. There are no " direct " steamers for New York from England taking steerage passengers for less than £4 4s. '' Occasionally we hear complaints from emigrants who take passage from this country to their destination abroad ; but it is rarely indeed that passengers by an English ship are subjected to such treatment as that which was experienced a short time ago by those on board a steamer belonging to an Antwerp line. In this vessel were several English people who secured berths in her on the faith of an advertisement which stated that she would sail from Hull on a certain date, and from London on the > •> Bricklayers have received Painters Carpenters Plasterers „ and other trades in proportion. The Canadian Pacific iRailway have been paying at the rate of 8s. per day to labourers, and there have been between 3,000 and 4,000 men em- ployed all summer at construction on the Central or Prairie Section of the road. Farm labourers have been in demand, and are likely to remain so for some time. The rapid development of the country, and the wonderful progress of cities, towns, and villages, will insure for some years the employment of a large number of mechanics and labourers at good wages. The "Canadian Pacific Railway" has supplied us with a new .lote book for inquirers about Manitoba. It is for free distribution, and answers in the clearest manner almost all questions that could be put. We would recommend parties of intending emigrants to arrange to see us in London, or, at least, to send a deputation of their party. They can then inspect samples of wheat and various produce, and also meet here personally the agent of the " Canadian Pacific Railway," a gentleman ©f very large personal experience, who will give whatever information may be required. We close our remarks about Manitoba by giving an extract from a speech of the Canadian Minister of Finance. Ho continued—" I admit, a consideration that cannot be overlooked by this Parliament without injury to the country— that it is desirable to give to the people of the old world, and the inhabitants of our own Dominion, free homes in that great North-West. We could realize in a few years, if they were put up at public auction, the money that would pay back not only the expenditure up to the present time, but down to the completion of the railway. But it will come in the future ; our public THE EMIGRANTS QUIDE. 61 debt will be decreased, our annual interost will be reduced, and we shall occupy the proud position of being able to o£Fer to the industrious and honest men who cannot find work in the old world a home here, with free lands, a country girdled with railways, and a canal system the best in the world ; with institutions that will protect their lives, their properties, and their rights, and that will afford a refuge for the oppressed men^ if there be any such in any part of the old world. We will open our arms to them all, and bid them welcome, and make the Dominion of Canada^ as I said in my closing remarks in a former speech, what Providence has designed it to be— one of the GREATEST AND RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD." emain so Wages in Manitoba. — Railroad mon earn from 6s. to Ss. por day.

I PASSENGERS FROM EUROPE. New Regulation of the United Statks Treasury Department. Passengers required to declare contents of their trunks. Every pas- senger arriving at any part of the United States, from a foreign port, is required to make a brief but comproliensive and truthful statement of the niini))er of his or her trunks, bags, and other pieces of baggage, of the contents of each, and of the articles upon his or her person. For conve- nience and imiformity such statements must be made on blank form? THE emigrants' GUIDE. 71 m Its, la so the Ites Ibin ler, lire ces be val m designated " Passenger's Baggage Declaration," wliich may be had from the captain. To avoid detention in landing, such statements should bo carefully prepared before arrival, so as to be promptly delivered to the revenue officer upon demand. The following information will aid in the declaration. The numbers of the several pieces of baggage will bo given in their proper place, and other contents entered into two heads. 1. Baggage not dutiable, which comprises the following classes : — (a.) Wearing apparel in actual use — that is clothing made up for passenger's own weer, in reasonable quantities, may be declared as " wearing apparel." (6.) " Other personal effects " (not merchandise) which are usually carried with or about the person of a traveller, as trunks, articles of toilet, stationery, a few books, one watch, jewellery, &c., &c., in actual use and in reasonable amount may he declared " personal effects," (c.) " Professional Books," " Tools of Trade, and « Household Effects," all of which have been used by the passenger abroad, the last named at least one year, may be declared as such. 2. " Dutiable Merchandise." Under this head must be entered all articles not included in " Baggage not dutiable," as above set forth. Among these may bo specially mentioned new wearing apparel, in excess of that in general use, articles of virtue^ all piece goods, and all articles purchased for other persons. In short all articles not essential to the comfort and convenience of the traveller. Great care should be taken to make a full and accurate return, and to examine the certificate the passenger is required to sign. The columns headed " Appraisement " are not to be filled up by the traveller, but left blank. Upon arrival the declaration will be delivered to the Revenue oflBcer. The baggage will be examined on board the vessel or wharf, and duties assessed, which are payable in gold coin. Any piece of baggage containing over 500 dols. of dutiable mer- chandise will not be delivered on board, but sent to the public store for examination and appraisement. Packages containing merchandise exclusively will not bo considered as baggage, but must be regularly entered at the Custom House. All baggage is subject to actual and thorough examination, and the persons of all passengers are liable to search. 72 THE emigrants' GUIDE. Any fraud on the part of passengers, any concealment of the fact, or secreting of articles in the trunks, &c., or on the person, er an attempt to bribe a Revenue officer, will render the baggage liable to detention or confiscation, and subject the owner to other penalties. Any complaints against Revenue officers in the discharge of their duties must be made to the Collector of the Port, who will promptly investigate all charges made. By order of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, PASSENGERS FOB CANADA via Xow York can forward their goods, liable to Duty, through in bond. THE emigrants' GUIDE. 73 AUSTRALIA Is divided into six separate Colonies, as follows: — South Australia New South Wales Victoria Queensland Western Australia Tasmania Chief cities, which are also the ports of laudi Adelaide. Sydney. Melbourne. Brisbane and Rockhampton. King George's Sound, Perth and Swan River. Hobart Town and Launceston. Om* latest information all tends to prove that there con- tinues to be a steady demand for labour in the several colonies, and great inducements are still offered to those requiring assist- ance, by some of the respective representatives of the different colonies, particulars of which will be found on page 75. We woTild point out, however, that the South Australian government is now offering a special inducement to emigrants who are prepared to pay their own passage direct to Adelaide, by granting a Land Order Warrant of the value of £20, free, to each person above 12 years of age, and a Land Order Warrant of the value of £10, free, to each child between one and twelve years of age, provided they are in good health, and ap- proved as suitable by the Emigration Agent. Forms and in- structions can be obtained from us, free. The climate, as is well known, is genial and suitable for Europeans, and, although it may seem a great undertaking for a man to move himself, and possibly a family as well, so many thousands of miles, it must not be forgotten that though so far away from the old country, he is none the less a Briton on his arrival, and that his labour helps to strengthen that vast British empire of which he is none the less a subject than he was before he left home. This thought, and the fact that v/e are now within forty days' sail of its shores, should remove more than half the bitterness of " leaving home." The Queensland Handbook is supplied free on application ; Australian newspapers are filed by us, and can be referred to. il 74 THE EMIGRANTS GUIDE.

Saloon, 40 to 50 guineas ; second, 18 to 25 guineas; third, 13 to 18 guineas. Steamers are generally now preferred as so much time is saved. THE emigrants' GUIDE. NEW ZEALAND. We are glad to see that emigration to New Zealand is again I'eviving. The many inquiries that we receive confii'm us in the general opinion that we shall have a much larger emigration this year. Notwithstanding the disadvantage of being 14,000 miles distant, which, of course, precludes the colony from competing with other colonies nearer home to some extent, New Zealand does a large trade with the old country in various kinds of pro- duce, receiving back British manufactures generally of the highest quality. Hitherto passengers have generally proceeded by steamer, via Melbourne, but now there is a probability of a regular direct steam service being established, carrying passengers to the principal ports at fares varying from 18 guineas upwards. Most persons prefer steamers to sailing vessels. The fact that time IS money to the mechanic cannot be overlooked in comparing a voyage of 45 or 50 days by steamer, with the unreliable passage by a ship of, probably, 90 to 110 days. Fares to New Zealand Ports by first class clipper ships, sailing frequently, First Saloon, £45, or £52 lOs., including bedding. Second class, £25. Third class, £18 (enclosed) ; Open Berths (Men only), £16. There are through fares by the Orient Line of steamers, via Melbourne. See page GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND. Agent General, 7, Westminster Chambers, Victoria Street, S.W. No Free or Assisted Passages, except to a limited number of suitable persons nominated in the Colony by their friends. AT SEA. The Steerage Passenger.— The Voyage to Aus- tralia or New Zealand in a Sailing Clipper. Provisions are served out weekly according to scale and are cooked as required by ship's servants. Passengers can wash their own clothes, The heavy baggage is stowed away, but passengers can have access to it generally about once a month. The berths aro constructed according to the description of the passengers, married couples and their families being put together, and single men usually placed forward. The passengers generaily divide into messes of about eight for the purpose of cooking, &c. The most useful little work for an intending passenger to road is "Out at Sea," by Philip B. Chadfield. It describes how to fit up tho berths and contains many practical remarks about cooking, and life on board ship. Price 4d. pest free. 78 THE emigrants' GUIDE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Settlement is progressing, and the Cape and Natal Govern- ments are offering inducements to certain selected classes, as stated below. The towns are rather overdone, and a man to do well must be prepared to go far and rough it. As the country- gets more settled, it will, no doubt, offer^attractions to a better class of settlers with capital. The diamond fields, of course, are a great attraction, about 20 million pounds stei-ling having been dug out and exported since 1871. The yield now is stated to be over three millions per annum. Great irrigation works are being carried on "^at the Cape, About 900 miles of railways are open. The Cape][ Government report for the past year is very encouraging. The total number of persons xinder the Cape Government^ is about a million and a half. There are extensive railway works authorised, and there is likely to be a fair demand for mechanics and labourers in all parts of the country, It may be well to repeat that the Cape Colony area is about 200,000 square miles. The late war has caused very misleading impres- sions respecting the Cape of Good Hope. There is complete security of life and property, and farmers with a fair capital will do well to consider the advantages of this Colony. There is no greater mistake than for a man to commence farming without the necessary capital ; it generally ends in dis- appointment, diflBculties and debt. We shall be glad to give further particulars respecting the Cape to intending settlers. The Cape Mounted Riflemen is a force for the defence of the Colony and prevention ofj'obberies and other crimes. Recruits are engaged, and sent] out to the Colony passage free. Only young men of strong physique arc selected, and those who have had experience on farms with horses and cattle are preferred. Persons thinking of joining this force should obtain the rules and regulations, which will be furnished for three postage stamps by the Emigration Agent, 9, Albert Mansions, Victoria Street, London, S.W, We recommend emigrants to buy the " Emigrant's Guide for South Africa or Glanville's Guide," post free for 12 stamps ; THE emigrants' GUIDE. 79 fted >rks ays " Climate and Health in South Africa for 12 stamjis ; or Silver's " Handbook of South Africa" for five shillings. There are also " Emigrant's Guide to South Africa," by the "Union Steamship Company," for 12 stamps; "Handbook for Travellers," for 14 stamps ; besides other small pamphlets gratis. Natal is now rapidly developing, and there is a greater demand there for labour. The Colonisation Circular on Natal is published free by the Government, also papers containing regulations for free or assisted passage to certain classes.
