 vast receptacle of future nations." You guard, you 

 teach, you relieve, you employ the destitute emi-

 mighty and benevolent dispensation ; you pass him 

 or his children on to a new — we hope a happier — 

 existence.

 it was presented to Her Majesty, as the following 

 correspondence will show :
