All-persons desirous of obtaining assisted passages to the Province of Canterbury in vessels under contract with the Provincial Government, may receive assistance as follows: — 1. The Government will affon? assistance equal in amount to the sum paid m cash by the passenger. If there shall be any balance, the Government will advance the sum, taking from the passenger promissory notes for the amount advanced, payable to the Treasurer of the Province. Such notes will be made payable on demand, but, unless the passenger dispute the debt, or shall* attempt to leave the Province, payment will only be required in sums of five pcunds at a time, at periods of three months, until the whole debt is discharged. The first payment to be made, six, months after landing. 2. Any persons resident in the Province desirous of assisting their friends in England, or elsewhere, to obtain assisted passages to the Colony may do so by drawing a Bill to the order of the Provincial Treasurer, accepted by a substantial householder, also resident in the Province, to be approved of by the Superintendent as sufficient security to the same ; this Bill may then be transmitted to the person who is desirous of emigrating to the Colony, and, being by him presented to the Emigration Agent, will be received in lieu of cash payment, as hereinafter provided; the Bill will be re-transmitted by the Agent to the j Colony, and must be paid immediately on presentation. 3. Assisted passages will be afforded only to honafide labouring men, mechanics, and female domestic servants; but persons of all classes will be able to assist their friends to emigrate to the Colony by undertaking the payment of the whole of the passage money in the manner above provided. 4. No person will be allowed any assistance unless he shall have been approved of by the Emigration Agent in England. No single man above the age of 40 years, no person above the age of 50, unless a member of a large family; and no person above 60 years, under any circumstances, will be allowed assistance. 5. When bills are tendered in payment as cash in England, the amount of assistance given by the Government will be one-half of the amount of Bills. Persons therefore wishing to give their friends in England the utmost amount of assistance must give bMls for two-thirds of the whole amount of the passage money. 6. The Provincial Government are unable at present to state what the rate of passage money to the Colony will be fixed; but all bills will be prepared on the supposition that it will amount to £20, should it be less, a proportional part of the bills will < be remitted at the time of re-payment. 7.
