Details: We noticed last week, under the head of Shipping Intelligence, the arrival of the Boadicea with another freight of the unfortunate victims of the Emigration Committee. This, from all we can learn, is the worst cargo for the colony that Mr. Marshall ever sent out. Of the 260, there are 160 below sixteen years of age ; and, dreadful to relate, many of them were so young so utterly helpless and useless in this colony, that the Government have found it necessary to send some forty or fifty of them to the Orphan School as a present asylum ; the remainder were sent to a house at the upper end of Campbell Street, hired for the purpose by the Government.
