EMIGRATION STATISTICS. Every-city, town, village, and hamlet in the kingdom now Participates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The accounts f` em Australia and other places continue to buoy up the ardent hopes of industrious adv,nturers : rich soil, healthy climates, cheapland, and valuable mines, are unquestionably advantages of the most important character. To rarticularise how many have al ready crossed the &cat ocean would be useless; every day the tide flows front all parts, and preparations are making by immense num hers. Very few Emigrants are acquainted with the articles most necessary for their passage, or know what clothing and utensils will be most useful for them in far distant countries. The• incredible amount of Business E. MOSES & SON have dispatched in the Outfitting Department, and the many years ex- Perienc , they have htul In preparing articles for Emigrants to every part of the world, has given them the entire pre-eminence in the Outfitting Branch, all Emigrants should apply to E. MOSES & SON for their Ontnts—their superiority is universally admitted—their suitability for any country is guaranteed—and their prices arc lower-than at any other House In the World. The Emigrant like wise saves much valuable time by selecting his Outfit at E. MOSES & SON'S, their extensive trade in that line inducing them to keep a der artment in their Gigantic Establishment expressly devoted to the arrangement of Outfits for any part of the Universe. OUTFITS can be forwarded to any part of the Kingdom on re ceipt of a remittance. E. MOSES and SON supply them for 3/. 155., 61..15x.. 111. lle.. and upwards. A detailed list can be had on appli cation, or fbrwarded post-free to any p rt of the Kingdom. E.

Thie tact could not but prove a source of gratification to the people - at large, and especially to the working classes, because, the increase of, such establish ments was a precursor Othe - power of the working classes to procure enjoyment, and also - of the supply of means for gratifying that desire, and further it was to be observed that these establiahmente supplied the means of intellec tual amusement, nay, more,-of intellectual improvement, for those establishments t supplied the working man with that which would meet his desire for-reading —they gav e him the chief sources of: popular education, the daily e*eh o l le th s y er a v h a ci tioinee.. „ s press, and 010 Valuableeperioditals: For , where was the coffee or eating-house/in whiels;theto.wes not to be found w m e e e a ld ns h o sk, freNavdiisna trade g he e e reading? axing e7 lnk7l t,Pr a l eiv. these portant, sufficiently repaisented by tho stsiociatton? would be as suiprieed'aeed e lighted to find that the growth of the associatiiii -kept, riee with the growth of the trade.

" It is the President's opinion that steps should be taken at once to enable our enterprising merchants to supply the last link in that great chain which unites all Lawns of the worlo, by the early establisbment of a line of steamers from California to China. In order to facilitate this enterprise, it is desirable that we abou!d obtain from the Emperor of Japan permisiion to pur ch,:se frem his subjects the necessary supplies of coal, which our steamers in their out and inward voyages may require. The well known kaloniy with Which the Japanese Empire has for the last two centuries re ct,ed all overtures from other nations to open its purts to their vessel* embarrasses ail new attempts to change the exclusive policy of thet, country. " The inter gists of commerce, and even those of. hu manity, demand; however, that we ehould make another. :appeal to the Savereign of that country, in - risking" hinal to sell to our steatners---not the manufactures of his ar tisana,,er the results of the toil of his;husbandmen--hetl a gift of Ptovide;nce, depciaited by the Creator of ali things in the depths of the Japanese Islands for the be-1 uefit of the human:LW ll P - "-By ehe,Presitleut'e directiond; now transmit to you-e _letter to the;Emperor of Japan (withe an open eoPy),Il which you arcto carry to &ldo ; hie ' , tit:vital; in your) flag-ship, accoinpanied by as many, of the vessels of the squadron under your command as m a y conveniently be emPloYal in this stittice. - -A Chinese translation of Itlis letter will bo fuenishtd to you by the United States' Legation at Canton:, And tent to ; ydur .atiChoage, at ~Tfoug---lieng or Macao. • At one of the latter with a national vessel, detached yeti will probably meet by the commodore e:e, t) 1 the sauedron inAhe Pacific (as you will perceive by the :enclosed copy of a correspondence between this and the' navy department) to carry to you: a number of Alpe . wreeked Japanese mariners who were some time ago picked up at tee by the barque Auckland.

To the , yin vein ekplain the mein object of your visit. ,“Minersl coal is so abundant in Japan that the vernmentofthat country, can have no reasonable objecttO to supplying our steamers, at fair prices, with that great nee( ss iry ot commerce. One of the eastern ports of ..Niplion would be the most desirable place for this purpose. Shoultl however, the Government of Japan persist in following out; its system of exclusiveness, you might, perhaps, induce! ,hem to consent to the transportation of the coal by their own vessels to asneighisouring island, easy of eccees,i where the steamers could tnpplytheir wants, avoiding OW the necessity of an intercourse with any . large nu ` aPi ber of the people of the country. "It is considered important that you should av ail youreelf of every occasion to impress upon those Japaneo officers with whom you will be brought.in contabt, that the Government of the United States does not posaesi any power over the religion of its own -citizens, and that there is, therefore, no cause ea apprehend that it will intefere with.the religion of-ether countries. • !! " The President, although fully aware of the great reludtance hitherto shown by the Japanese Governtnent to enter into treaty stipulations with any foreign nation —a feeling whichit is sincerely wished that you may b q table to overcome—has thought , it proper, in anticipation of _this latter favourable,cmattngency, to, invest you with full power to negotiate and sign a treaty of amity and 'commerce- between the United States and the empire of Japan. - • "I- transmit, herewith; the 'Act of the 'President; clothirtg you with that power, as also copies of the treaty between the United States and China with Siam and the Mtiscat, which'may to a certain extent bo of use to you as precedents, , It, is, important that on should Declare to our vessels the right , to` cuter ono or ;more of the -ports of- Japan, and . there .tta dispose of their cargoes either by sale .or by .barter; without- being subjected to extravagant port charges and even more important is it that the Government - of Japan should bind itself to protect Amerioan sailors Orin property which might be on their shores.

STAMPED -PUBLICATIONS. Mr. PHINN applied, on the part of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, for the postponement of this case to enable the Attorney - General to be present. The case had excited much interest in the public mind, and was one of very great importance, and it was highly desirable that the Attorney-General should have an opportunity afforded him of attending to open tto proceedings, Probably it would be in the recollection of his Lordship that there was an under matter that a further step was to be taken in the . The Court would have to decide whether they would allow a bill of exceptions. The CHIEF BARON inquired whether the other side had consented. Mr. WILLEs, who appeared for the defendants, said he was quite willing to leave the matter in the hands of the Court. The CHIEF BARON observed that this was not a Crown prosecution at present, and inquired whether there Ness any objection toittill of exceptions? •Mr. WILLES had BO objection to the ease being with drawn, liberty being given to present a bill of exceptions. At the same time, ho would like the bill tio framed that the entire question might be raised fora special verdict, for it was one of fact as , well as law. The CLIME BARON thought that he might make some arrangement with the other side. Mr. WILLER entertained no doubt of his being able to do so. The matter then dropped. • • AR GILES- C 00# elf -t2: (Before S:r JOHN DonsoN.) THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HODGSON AGAINGST GLADSTONE, CLERK. This cause was called on this morning soon after the sitting of the Court, but Mr. Gladstone not appearing, the Learned Judge said he would take another case, as a good deal of misapprehension had evidently existed about the business which was to be proceeded with. He himself had only been iadizectly informed that Dr. Lushington would not sit, as had been previously ar ranged, to hr ar the appeal of Mr. Whieton against the Dean awl Chapter of It9chcster, and that information, such as it was, did not roach bim till between s x and seven o'clock the evening before. Soon afterwards Mr. TF.BBS (proctor) made his way into court, almost out of breath, and said that Mr. Glad s'ono now wished to have the benefit of counsel's assist ance. He had just receiv,d Hr. Gladstone's proxy to appear for him, and he prayed the Court to allow him time to instruct counsel. After some conversation the Learned Jurcz granted the application, and assigned Mr. Gladstone to appear by counsel on the next Court day, which will be the first day of Trinity term; Saturday, May 22. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, MI 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gonutunet ) IN RE COLODIBINE. The bankrupt, D.E. Colombine, was a ()elicitor and money - scriieuer in Carlton-Chambers, Regent-street. Ibis visa an adjourned examination meeting. Mr. Bagley, instructed by Mr. Chidley, appeared for the assignees to oppose the bankrupt passing; and Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt. The following is the report from the official assignee, Mr. Pennell The balance sheet now under consider ation is the fourth which Mr. Colombine has filed. It commences at the same date as the one filed in Decem ber last—viz , 31st of December, 1841; but the surplus on that day, which was stated in the balance sheet to amount to 6,1471, is now reduced (in consequence of the discovery of errors by the official assignee) to the sum of 4,5011.; but even this is really more than Mr. Colombia() was really worth at that date, es some pro perty is included which had been embraced in a revo cable euttlement made in 1839 on Mr. and Mrs. Colom bine, senior, and debts to the amount of 1,1801. still remain unpaid, the greater part of which are exceedingly doubtful. The ut:secured creditors, which in the first balance sheet were stated at 17,364/, in the second at 20,2931., in the third at 22,7621., are now increased to 28,8221., to which must be allied one creditor, partially secured, 3381., less amount of security 1051., 2331.; liability to trustees under marriage settlement, against which they claim . the property and securities stated on the other 10,0001,. profits in business during the five years embraced in the balance sheet, 13,335/. Tho assets given up consist of office furniture, valued at 1001., cash, 651.; legacy, 200/.; debts, alleged to be good, 3661; the debts stated lee doubtful amount to 7,0871, of which about 4,000/. are disputed; the property and securities claimed by the trustees under the settlement made in January, 1847, amount to 9,7071., to which must be added the surplus expected to arise from property mortgaged to Mr. Allen which is stated in tho balance sheet to be of the value of '4,000/ , while his claim thereon is stated at 2,677/.- 1,322/. The property settled on Mr. Colombine's mother by a deed dated the 7th ofJanuary, 1846, consists of two annuities valued at 2,5201. Amount paid to Mr. and Mrs. Colombine, senior, at the rate of 2351. a-year, 1,116/. The house and personal exponsea amount to 7,1321.; the losses on various annuities were 6,7281.; ditto on railway shares, 1,7891.; ditto on mining shares. 130/.; ditto on a patent, 6191; ditto on property beyond' its • present value, 3,523/.; on cottages sod carriages, 4941.; bad debts, '2,4181.; cash in Mr. Colombian's possession at the date of fi tt, 1,600/ ; entered in the balance sheet as received from Gonin and Co. of Paris, but really dr awn out of Sir Claude Scott7's bank by Mr. Colombine o n the 221 h of January, 184. Liability to trustocs under marria g e settlement, 10,000/. It will been seen that nearly tho whole available assets have been taken from the creditors of Mr. Colombine within 14 months before his bankruptcy, viz.—By set ditto tle- ment on his mother in January, 1816, '2,320/ ; by . oft his Wife in January, 1847, 11,0301.; by ash in his possession at the fiat, but withheld from hcis creditors (whose united debts exceed 29.0001) assets amounting, according to Mr. Columbine's own va l u ation i,th rto regard e to. he 1,600/ cash in ' Mr. Colombine's possession at the date of the fiat, it should be stated that this was asscuomtt drawn out by him from his bankers, Sir Clauital and Co., and originally entered in his su a p n p . er n ee. cash account as paid to Lord Candler*, d in . balance sheet prepared and filed by Mr. Colombine in June, 1847. Lord Cantilupo is treated omas though ho h a d actually received this sum .frMr. Co !n that_ balance l om bine, his Lordship b ein g stated really a cre ditor for 1,600/. more—viz , fora oleol., andsheet for . wh Mr,ic ho i 3 catered iti the pros bence h Columbine also received on the 10th of Meech, 1817, three days before the fiat, from his clerk 13urdon, riot's seine, amounting to 8121, and the runner is which these sums were expended is set forth in the sup plemental cashbook." "Among other requisitions which the assignees called upon Mr. Colombine to answer was the following, viz. That he should furnish a t rue and accurate statement of his effeirs on the 715 o f Ja. nuary, 1846,' the da te when he made a settlement on I his mother. Ile has accordingly filed such account, making it appear t hat he had then a surplus of 7,6 how such a statement seen be reconciled with se nt balance sheet I am unable to conceive, and it we uld bo but fair that ho theuld be required to file a n ac count shewing how they are reconcilable. If he then 1842, s l h B e 4 e 3 t , ) 18 w 4 a 4 s , had a surplus of 17,6911, and if his sur p lus on the 1., of January, 1842 ( as stated in the balance only 4,502/., his net savin g s durin g azd 1845 mutt have been 13,18 W., or 3,3001 year; n ot net profits, but. clear net savi ngs , after lows, prdeasivual . wad b g a ueso expenses, [PRICE SD. and private and domestic expenditure. In his balance sheet filed June, 1847, he estimated his profits during this period at 7331. per annum only. An examination of a few of the items in this statement clearly illustrates its utter fallacy.

A bill on Lorde s cl n i e s : could not bo in Mr. Colombine's possession on ita de.- mussy, 1846. If it was on hand at the latter dat,, it h as not been accounted for at a subsequent period. A sum of 1,0001. on a bill for 1,1751. on Efungerford is unac counted- for; as it is not entered in the cash account there is no clue as to whether it was or was not in hand on the 7th of January, 1846." His HoNouß, after hearing Mr. Bagley and Mr. Law ranee at great length, said he should reserve his judg ment in order to give the: case the fullest consideration; but, he said, he must there remark how well the afield. assignee, Mr. Pennell, had done his duty, and make a few observations with reference to a subject which had been much discussed of late, the remuneration to official assignees. Here was a case which had been before the Court since 1847, and the accounts hsd been voluminous and com plicated in the highest degree, so much so that the bankrupt himself, a gentleman of education, could hardly wade through them. 'rho official assignee had been engaged with his clerks, from day to day and from week to wet k, for five years, and _the labour it would be diffi- ' cult to estimate ; and here the remuneration was nothing. The official assignee, in this case, would not get any thing, and in the great majority of cases the official ' assignee got nothing ; but whether they got little or much, they were equally diligent and zsalous and did their duty ; and he must particularly allude to Mr. Pen nell, as the question of remuneration was the last to enter his mind. Mr. BAGLEY—In this case the remuneration would not give him a shilling a-day for twelve hours work per day. His HONOUR, after a few more remarks, said, he would inform Mr. Colombino that he would extend to the case his utmost attention and give judgment on a future day. The case lasted the whole day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Middleton, charged upon the information of the Hon. Patrick Talbot, private secretary to Lord Derby, with sending a threatening letter to his Lordship as Prime Minister, and remanded on Saturday, was brought up in custody, and again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. Mr, Reynolds, from the office of the solicitor of the Treasury, was in attendance. Mr. HENRY (addressing the prisoner) said—You have been examined, I believe, by the prison surgeon? Pri soner—That gentleman has been speaking to me, but I did not take what he said to me as an offence. After the conversation with him I went into my closet, and prayed to God to protect me from the vengeance of my enemies. The Exchequer owes me a sum, on account of my evidence and losses with respect to the Irish Fishe ries, of 859,D00. Mr.-11Erfur —You have received 2001. . _ _ The prisoner denied.tbia, and began to wander in his observations. Mr; ITENnr said the certificate of the surgeon should be read, and called on Mr. Baxter, the prisoner's friend, who was present, to attend to the reading of the decn mont.

Mr. LIENnv said that was not the question put by the prisoner. Witness—Then I do not know whether it was not the finger of God which; directed the prisoner to me; but the prisoner has claims on the Government. Mr. lIENnv would net permit the court to be made the medium of publishing such al l eg e d claims. People Caine to the court frequently with such objec...ta, but he would not permit, such a course. The prisoner should for the present he given up to Mr. Lockhart, the officer of the Strand Union, to bo further examined by the medical officer of the parish in which the prisoner had last resided, and should be again, if necessary, brought up for further examination in court. The prisoner said ho agreed to that arrangement, and went in charge of Mr. Lockhart, relieving officer to the Strand Union. The prisoner's wife, a woman of decent appearance and quiet demeanour, was in court during the examina tion, but remained passive. VLIAMES. John Bailey, charged with the homicide of Caroline Harris, with whom he c -, habited, at 43, Devonshire street, Commercial-road Est, was finally examined. Nothing new was elicited iu taking the depositions, and the prisoner was fully committed for killing and slaying the deceased. , NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
