A party of emigrants, numbering over 200, assisted to the amount of £330 by the Clerkenwell Emigration Society, left Euston Station on Wednesday week for Liverpool, whence they embarked on board the steam-ship Parisian, for different parts of Canada. The Rev. A. Styleman Herring, Vicar of St. Paul's, Clerkenwell, the chairman of this society, which has already assisted to the British Colonies 4,500 people, accompanied the party, in conjunction with Mr. J.J. Jones, member of the London School Board. These gentlemen will visit those already assisted out, and travel over 15,000 miles. The present emigrants include men from Scotland, St. Asaph's, Wilts, and Hants, and comprise a good number of temperance people. The Dominion Government permits Mr. Herring to take out some of the unemployed at a reduced rate. By the same ship two young ladies sent nineteen men from the brickfields.
