General Booth has made an aus^ picious commencement to his topr/rounc the world. He left London with th< plaudits of a gigantic "send off" ringing m bis ears. At Capetojy a,|,,tbe first por^ at which he stopped; & he an! immense. Qvatjon, ,A meeting of fm thousand people- of all 'classed and al creeds assembled to welcome him, anc unanimously carried resolutions approving of his emigration colony scheme! If we are to believe: the- cables",;: South Africa is looking forward to the trans| planting of .England's submerged tenth to her shores as an event to be desired greatly. . j Doubtless the presence of the General has much to do with this enjthusjastic approval of; his : sememes. We have not hitherto heard that anj of thfe places suggested as j probable sites fojr "colonies" were especially eager to welcome the suffering- millions. Indeed^, protests were immediately sent from most, pf, the British dependenoie,9 urging that such f. 4 colonies "f were not, requirejd and not desired.
