Queensland Emigration
To The Editor of the Times
Sir,-May I ask the favour of the acknowledgment of the following sums for the East London Weavers' Aid Association, sent in consequence of the letters which you have so kindly inserted?-S.E.W., 10l; Mr. Walter Leslie, 5l.; V.T., 10l.; Anon. (Stamps), 15s.; Mr. E. Charrington, 5l.

In addition to the above, I have to thank many persons who have offered to give information to their relatives and agents employed in Queensland of any families we may send out, and thus put them in the way of getting suitable occupation and speedy engagements.

The committee have received a proposal from Messrs. Mackay, of the Black Ball Line of Packets, whereby they are making arrangements for sending out at comparatively small cost a large number of suitable emigrants, and if the funds admit they hope to send about 100 by the end of May, or as soon after as possible. Meanwhile they look to the public to assist them towards giving the necessary outfits for these families, who have been obliged to part with their garments for food during the winter, and to provide the passage money for those extra members of their families who may be under or over the age required.

The last mail brought tidings of a vessel which carried out some from this association, and it is gratifying to learn that the impression made by the whole body of upwards of 1,000 emigrants arrived at Brisbane by the three ships in February last, some of them Germans, was so favourable that already before the mail left they were nearly all engaged.

While they will be very careful in the selection, the committee hope that they may be supported by the public in being able to take advantage of the terms now offered, as they can never be more favourable, and as the labour-market gets fuller they will become less acceptable than at present.

Thanking you for the valuable help given to our movement by the insertion of these facts,
I am, Sir, your obedient, servant,
A.B. Suter,
All Saints', Spicer-street, Spitalfields, N.E., April 17.

An Escape From Newgate.--
Early yesterday morning Philip Krause, a sailor, awaiting his trail on a charge of robbery in the gaol of Newgate, made his escape, and for the present he remains at large, "with the world before him, where to choose." Such a feat had scarcely been supposed, by any one familiar with the prison and its present arrangements, within the range of possibility. At all events, under any circumstances, it would be fraught with imminent peril to life and limb, and has always been of rare occurrence there. Krause is a native of Hamburg and about 24 years of age. He is a little above the average height, and light hair and complexion, and rather stout. He had been committed from the Thames Police-court. By a series of ingenious expedients and great daring he regained his liberty. He was confined, it is said, in a new wing of the prison, and he effected his escape by cutting a panel out of his cell door. That was the first successful step in the enterprise. He had previously taken down from the interior of his dormitory about 10 feet of gaspiping, with which, and his blankets, he appears to have made a sort of ladder. Then eluding the "vigilance," as the phrase goes, of the night-watchman, he passed on to one of the airing-yards, and scaling a wall, clambered over the roof of an adjacent building to one of a lower level, and by degrees worked his way down to the open street, landing in the Old Bailey, near the governor's private entrance, and getting clear off. After escaping from his cell he had torn down another piece of gas-piping of considerable length, breaking it off near an angular joint, and making thus a sort of crook, which he afterwards used with great effect in scaling the wall and letting himself down on the further side. Yesterday morning Mr. Jonas, the governor of the gaol, communicated the fact of the escape to Mr. Deputy Farrar and Mr. Gammon, the under-sheriffs, who instituted an official inquiry into the circumstances, as they are now substantially related. A reward has since been, or is about to be, offered for the recapture of the man in question. About 6 o'clock yesterday morning the rope of blankets and sheeting by which he had escaped was seen dangling in the Old Bailey from the prison wall near the spot where the gallows is erected at executions, and immediately opposite a cab-stand.

Atlantic and Pacific Steaming.--
The increase of passenger traffic to British Columbia has compelled the Pacific United States Mail Company to add to their fleet. One of these vessels, the Constitution, is already on the line, and can carry 1,500 passengers and 1,200 tons of goods. The vessels of the West India Royal Mail Company are taking large numbers of passengers, and the Pacific Company run from Panama four times a month instead of three.

Sailing Of The New Steamship Scotia.--
The British and North American Royal Mail steamship Scotia, Captain Judkins, sailed from Liverpool on Saturday for New York.

The Inman screw steamer Kangaroo arrived in Liverpool on Saturday morning. Her news has been anticipated. She brought numerous passengers, and had $857,524 in specie on freight.

The Government emigrant-ship John Vanner, of 726 tons, Captain William Moore, belonging to Messrs.

She touched at the isle of Flores, May 4, and completed the run from the equator to the Channel in 22 days.
