Note: Editor's note: 'Our attention has been called to the following "Lines on the Departure of Emigrants for New South Wales" by the poet Campbell, which were written many years ago, and at a time when such anticipations could have existed only in the mind of a poet. Now, however, they look like a prophesy which is being rapidly fulfilled'.
