Thursday 22 December 1842

We direct the careful attention of those interested in the subject of Immigration to the communication from Mr. E.R. BELL relating to the arrangements made by Mr.COCK at the mouth of the Kowie, for the immediate employment of some newly arrived settlers. We are persuaded that if this plan be judiciously carried out it will be productive of most important and beneficial consequences to the Colony. To land proprietors, whose farms are only partially cultivated, and there are hundreds so situated, it presents the prospect of certain revenue, and to the country at large the rapid development of its productive resources.
The following additions have been made to our population this year by immigrants or discharged soldiers:-
Per 'Conch' (the wrecked passengers ex 'Prince Rupert') 28
Per 'John Craig' 27
Per 'George' 34
Per 'Orator' 32
Per 'Guardian' 53
Per 'Ann' 82
Discharged Soldiers 200
=456
Besides a great number in small arrivals of twos and threes by other vessels, at all events certainly together not less than 500, a pretty fair promise from this first 'wave of the tide'.
