We exonerate the crptain and officers from all blame in the matterj as we were treated by them with" kindness and respect. It is the emigration commissioner at Melbourne, Mr M-»cfarlano, ami 'he agents, Messrs Al'Cowen and Co and J. H. White and Co, who are to blame. We think it our duty to make this public, hoping that it m:iy put a stop to such underhand proceedings in future. We are, Sir, Your obedient servants, (Here follow 130 signatures.) October 22, 18G2. . [Melbourne papers please copy.]
