R. MACPHERSON, Agent. GOVERNMENT IMMIGRATION OFFICE, SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of the Hon. the Commissioner of Agriculture, the annexed statistics, showing the working of this Agency for the year 1872, viz. - 1st. Statement (A) showing the number of Immigrants arrived at this Agency during the past twelve months, and their nationality, the number assisted with provisions, and with free passes from this office. 2nd. Statement (B) showing the monthly arrivals within this Agency during the past year, number fed and distributed each month. 3rd. Statement (C) showing the number and destination of Immigrants forwarded from this office by free passes during the year 1872. 4th. Statement (D) showing the total number and destination of Immigrants placed within this Agency by free passes for the past year. 5th. Statement (E) showing the expenditure at this Agency, on account of Immigration for the past twelve months, as paid by the Province of Ontario. It affords me much pleasure to state that the Immigration within this Agency for the past year shows an increase of 46 per cent. over that of 1871. Still, the demand for all classes was greatly in excess of the supply; fully four times the number that arrived could have been well placed in good situations. The demand will be still greater during the coming season, owing to the increased construction of railways, opening up of the country, and the great increase of manufactories. I may state that I found Mr. Haigh, the agent at Quebec, most prompt, efficient, and painstaking in distributing Immigrants to the different localities within this Agency where they were most urgently needed. Miss Macpherson and Miss Rye are doing a noble work, and should receive every encouragement, trusting there will be an increased immigration this year. Your obedient servant, R. MACPHERSON.
