EMIGRANTS AT HOME.

One of the most gratifying features of emigration is the practical interest taken in the subject, by Australians in London, says a London correspondent of an English paper. One meets almost every day Anglo-Australians who have on hand little emigration ventures of their own. For instance, a lady journalist of my acquaintance is at tho present time raising a fund of ,£3O to emigrate a man who, thoußh a very desirable settler, ia not qualified for financial assistance. One day this week tho wife of an ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Australian military forces, presented herself to a number, of the Agents-General on behalf of a working man of excellent repute, who, with his wifo and three children, desired to proceed to Australia.

Undoubtedly a great many highly dosirablo emigrants, who are ineligiblo for the Government's financial assistance, would proceed to Australasia on their own account, if they could bo assured of some personal welcome on that side. One frequently meets competent men whoso foars about landing in Sydney and Melbourno with limited capital disappear immediately you are able to give them two or three cards of introduction to. people whom you know will interest themselves on their behalf. This' leads one to make the suggestion that great good could be done to the Australasian emigration movement' by men and women on that side with some little influence in employment circles offering their services as friends and well-wishers of emigrants. Tho men and women who go out under Government assistance are in heed of no outside help, but thousands more might lie influenced every year to make tho voyage and to become useful citizens, if they knew that there were on the other side people who would do what they could'to get them a start. This would not mean that the people volunteering would in any way guarantee billets, but their interest might often secure temporary and even permanent employment.
