The with fields of the Earth's mighty surface are peopling With English emigrants in search of employment and competency, bat the great distance between England's shores and emigrant sta tions renders a suitable OUTFIT the first subject of consideration With every emigrant. It is impossible for the emigrant to anticipate what he will most need on his passage, or what will be most useful to him on arrivin g a t hi s destination ; he should, therefore, apply to • MOSES and SON, who have for many years paid the strictest at tention to the Outfitting Department, and are fully acquainted with every article required by the emigrant to any country or climate. The prospects of 'emigr an t s are therefore rendered cheering by the fact, that every useful article in clothing for any emigrant station in the world can be obtained at E. MOSES and SON'S on the shortest notice. Whatever country the emigrant may choose, he must have money for the journey: the economical charges for Outfits at E. MOSES and SON'S leave the emigrant in possession of a sum in many in stances equal to the cost of his passage. The emigrant should never entertain the Idea of furnishing himself With necessary articles in a foreign country ; that is frequently' im- P°3B ible, and when he is so unfortunate as to make the attempt, the articles are unsuitable, and charged enormous prices. Application E. MOSES and SON obviates all these inconveniences, and fur nishes the emigrant with the prospect of comfort at a small cost. Whatever may be the emigrant's propects In reference to his future tblpatron, E. MOSES and SON can always supp l y him with suit e dreis for any business he may intend to follow, at little more nan halfthe price he might pay for inferior articles elsewhere. dB. MOSES and SON'S Establishments being unrivalled hi every e partment, afford the mos t magnificent prospects for emigrants, kabling them to procure every necessary article of use and comfort at the lowest rate. ~ OUTFITS for 3/. 155., 6/. 15., land upwards.

Redmond, Esq., in the chair, when the di recton' report and statement of accounts were submitted, ned after some disettision; received and adopted. The Chairman stated that ho hoped for the strenuous exer tions which would ba used by the directors on behalf of the company . in order to develop its resources, that an investment of- capital in its shares would not prove always unproductive; but would in - the end become highly profitable. The arrangement with the Great Southern and Western Company was only to last for one year, and at the expiration of that period they would be able to form a better opiniotrof its SUCCOSP, and to adopt such other measures as might appear best calculated to ad vance the interests of the proprietary. GREAT NORTH (1:?• SCOTLAND RAILWAY.—We un derstand that Mr. Anderson (uf Messrs. Adam and An derson, Aberdeen) is now in the north, with the view of forwarding this Great North of Scotland Railway. We are much gratified to learn that in this county he has been ifird6essful beyond expectation in the disposal of stock, a large number-of our most' enterprising farmers and others:having-taken sbares. We can only express a hope that the like or even greater success may attend his exertions throughout his tour, and that ere long the necessary capital will be subscribed, and the speedy commencement of this important line of railway ensured. Oar flitureprosperity depends in no small d egree upon increased and more speedy means of cOmmunioation with the south. To.all classes and interests this is im portant, butto none more so than to agriculturists; and thcirincredsed interest on behalf of this line is indica tive at once of their sagacity and enterprise. We trust we shall soon be able to say that we are -at least within sight of the commencement of the Great North.—Elgin Courant. opportunity daily to inspect this vessel. The workmen commenced taking down the coffer dam on Friday after noon, in order that the ways which have already been laid the entire length of the vessel may be carried into the river, and over which she will be launched. The ,rudder has been hung at her stern, and the whole of her bottom and sides caulked, and the latter painted. The decks have been payed with marine glue, and are strongly put together, and altogether the vessel is constructed in a superior manner and of the best materials.

Governor Barkly on this occasion delivered a speech in Which, although he did not conceal the diffi culties with which the colony has to contend, owing to the uncertain and unsatisfactory position of its staple production, he announced the pleasing fact that the or dinary revenue for the latlt year had considerably ex ceeded the expenditure of the colony, notwithstanding extensive reductions iv the tariff sanctioned last year.

The extreme liberality of their charges, coupled with the punctuality attending their de liveries, induce cur present remarks. On inquiry, we learn that a parcel of half a hundred weight, within two hours of its delivery at the office, arrives at its destina tion in any part of Birmingham, including even the dis tant localities of Edgbaston, &c., for the comparatively trifling charge of sixpence, no farther charge being de manded for booking, delivery, &c.

On Tuesday (James M. Rendel, Esq., President, in the chair), the paper read was, " An Account of the Drainage of the Town of Richmond, Surrey, under the authority of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, in 1851," by Mr. George Donaldson, Asscc. Inst. C. E. Tho drainage of Richmond, extending over an area of about 320 acres, was undertaken by the Board in the year 1849, on the application of some of the principal in habitants; when the author was appointed to report on its then state, and to propose some general plan for its improvement. At that period, all the sewage was col lected into cesspools, the liquid contents of which were allowed to drain into the earth, causing offensive exha lations from its surface, and contaminating the water in the adjacent wells, from which a large portion of the house water supply was drawn, whilst the cesspools themselves were seldom emptied. In many of the streets, however, there were brick drains, which had been from time to time constructed, for carrying 1 off the surface and storm waters; but these were not 'deep enough to receive the house drainage, which it was determined to effect by means of tubular stoneware pipes, entirely independent of, and separate from, the brick drains, thus practically carrying out a system on which very different opinions had been entertained. At present the outfall of the sewerage was into the Thames, near the railway bridge; but eventually a main outfall sewer was to be constructed to connect Richmond with the general system of sewerage of the metropolis. The pipe sewers were about 50,000 feet in length, executed at a cost of about 7,5001., rather more than half consisting of minor or branch sewers. The branch pipes, as far as the kerb of the foot pavement, were laid down at the same time as the main pipes, each junction being formed at an acute angle, and so arranged as to receive the drainage of three houses. Before being laid in the trenches, the pipes were fitted together and marked, and afterwards packed solidly round with earth. In some of the wet sand beds it was considered advisable to lay the pipes on 2-inch deals, four inches deep, fastened to stakes. The joints were made with well-tempered clay and cement, -and it was very important that they should be water tight, for otherwise one of the chief advantages of pipe sewers over brick drains would be lost. After their com pletion, the pipes were proved, by allowing a flash of water to pass through each separately for about fifteen or twenty minutes. All the inlets to the house drains were trapped with syphons, or bell-traps ; and the works generally had been perfectly successful. In the discussion which ensued, the comparative merits of the systems of separating the storm water from the house sewerage, and of combining them in large sowers, were argued at great length. It was ad mitted that the separate system had not yet been tried for a sufficient length of time to arrive at definite re sults; but, as far as experience had hitherto gone, there was a general impression in favour of the combined system in main sewers of brick, not less than four feet high, in order, not only that men should pass easily up them, but that they should be able to work in them. The pipe drains, even of 21 to 24 inches diameter, were liable to be choked by deposit, and their areas had been so reduced, even where the separate system had been employed, that stoppages had continually occurred; thus proving that the exclusion of road-drift was not ent irel y efficacious. It was shown, also, that whenever it was necessary to cut into the pipe drains, there was great in jury from breakage, and they were ultimately more ex pensive than brick drains. Attention was directed to the inaccuracy of th th e e p d o i b s- - lished experiments of the Board of Health, " ond charge of water through pipes; very car e f ul l c diffuctederent experiments having produced resu l t s wid e y y from those issued by the Board. It was announced, that at the meeting s of Tuesday, would tak April 6th, the monthly ballot for mem Econom e y place, and the following paper be. read: b prising the classi of Railways, as a means of transit, tn fication of the traffic in relation toenthgeerms oasatdaprapreorperhiaante_ speeds for the conveyance ofoipass dize," by Mr. Braithwaite e.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 3.—Major-General Sir John Rolt, K.C.B , having been appointed to tho command of the troops in the western district, and to act as Lieutenant- Governor of Plymouth, Lieutenant. General the Hon. H. Murray, C. 8., issued the following district order:— " In relinquishing the command of the Western Dis trict, Lieutenant-General Murray returns his thanks to the officers, noncommissioned officers, and soldiers for their good conduct. His acknowledgments are more especially due to the commanding-officers of corps, and to the heads of departments, and to the staff, for the assistance that they have given him in carrying on the duties of her Majesty's service. There is, however, no description of troops that have been placed ender his orders—whether of the Royal Artillery, the Line, the Royal Marines, the Yeomanry Cavalry, or Enrolled Pensioners —which has not, according to its opportuni ties, discharged its duties to his entire satisfaction. It cannot be expected that the merit of troops can be seen in the same conspicuous point of view on the home ser vice as it would be on foreign. But there have been times when the troops in the Western District have been called upon for the discharge of important duties in the maintenance of the public peace and the preservation of public and private property. Upon such occasions not only have they obtained the commendations of their military commanders, but have also elicited the un qualified praise of the civil authorities for their zeal, discipline, and forbearance. The Lieutenant-General has, to the best of his power, promoted the welfare of those entrusted to his charge, and he takes leave of them with deep interest in their future success." , i k '.,- ''-i ' , :.lp, .&.;i-.7 ~-,,- .:.1.1.. - ; N-TaSM :-"- BELFAST, APRIL 2.—Major-General Thomas, C. 8., has arrived at his station hero, and assumed the com mand of the troops serriug in the Belfast district.

The senior Bothe list of commanders now numbers only 23, and the seniors on the reserved half-pay list number 129. This is two above the established num ber, according to the Officica Navy List, which, although published "by authority," is not always officially cor rect. The number of commanders now on the active list is 558. If the, reserved half-pay list of captains were made up to the established number of 60, by the promotion, which is duo, of 25 commanders, the active list would be redubed to 533, or 83 more than tho num ber to which it is ultimately to be reduced. THE ACTIVE LIST OF LIEUTENANTS. The lieutenants on the active list now amount to 1 ; 221, or 21 mere than the number to which it is to be reduced. If, however, the promotions to commanders or reserved half-pay were completed, the lieutenants' list would be reduced to under 1,200. THE PAYMASTERS ,AND PURBERS. OF THE ROYAL NAVY.

The Conway has come home to undergo a thorough repair. Her voyage from the Isthmus of Panama has been a most protracted one, having occupied thirty seven days from Chagres, including stoppages. In con sequence of having encountered very hard weather after leaving Cartbagena , it was found to be impossible to reach St. Thomas's with the existing stock of fuel, and a deviation from the direct course to touch at Jamaica for coals was necessary. From St. Thomas's the voyage, ihcluding a call at St. Fayal for coals, has been accomplished in about twenty-three days, and the mails have been delivered at Southamp ton, as nearly as possible, a fortnight after they were due. It will bo remembered that the Great Western (likewise sent home in a partially disabled state) brought the last maila—Awelvo_dni bgr:_ him tneir tame. Tne result of the erotic progress of the Conway is quite sufficient to justify the remaitia which have been recently made, and the sending home of weak or crippled steamers with the homeward mails at any time cannot be too strongly reprehended. The'injury and inconvenience sustained by the mercan ' tile body by these irregularities have been very great, and the present instance seems imperatively to call for some such action on the part of the Lords of the Admi ralty as will mark their sense of what must be consi dered to be a decided infraction of their contract by the Royal Mail Steam Comp any, and such as will prevent a recu rrence of the evil at any future time.. The . Royal Mail Company are paid lib erally by the public Exche quer, and their service should be properly performed.

The most important i nte l l i gence brought by this packet from California, Panama, and Central America has b een anticipated via the Unit e d S tates.

The Island Legislature, Which wes ca ll e d' together on prorogued by his' Excellency the Governor on the 26 th of February, when his the 28th of October, lam Ex cellency entered into a lengthy explanation of his reason for disallowing the Lean Bills, whi c h h a d again passed the other two branches o f t h e Legislature. The reasons and objection urged by hi s Excellency wore principally and in substance like tho s e had received a dispatch from the Secretary of State, ex pressing his Lordship's general concurrence in the ob jections,urtgheedebouefrearee, p a u d r d s i u n e g d th by at .h h i e s Exoellen Excellency y nd his approval of in withholdi ng his assent. The following extracts from the speech w ill show his Excellency's im pression as to the declining f ortunes of the island:— " You have conjointly placed in my hands, for pre sentation to her Majesty, a memorial which the blame prevents me from entirely a but I willingly a her M ajesty 's Ministers imputed in it to the policy mit the force of much that surg e d. I believe that the apprehensions expressed are by no means unfounded, and I frankly avow it to be m y own feeling and opinion that the planting interest of th e colony has a just claim upon the parent state for judi c i ous action and effectual t m assistance.

Mitch misery has in consequence been brought upon, and has been endured by many - unoffending and helpless parties; and the drooping and decaying condition of the planting interest 'is still the most prominent object in the affairs of Ja maica. This would not be a convenient opportunity for a general disquisition as to these affairs, nor for a care ful statement of my opinion as to the mode in which relief might most effectually be afforded. But, I am firmly persuaded that it might be afforded with ad vantage both to Digland and Jamaica; and it would be a source of great and lasting joy to me if I could, in any degree, be instrumental in advancing this fine island and its inhabitants to the state of prosperity of which I think they are capable, and still more if this were to be effected by measures which might serve as a basis for that union of England with her colonies which is all that is wanting to make the British empire an example to be followed by the whole world." The question of sanding home delegates to represent the state of the country in England was being agitated, and subscriptions for the purpose were being raised. The Assembly had appointed Messrs. Thomson, Girod, and W. Smith, but afterwards Messrs. Jackson, Franklin, and Vickar s—the latter, a black man —were added to the delegatson, in consequence of which the three first named gentlemen withdrew their names and service!. Mr. Girod had stated through the columns of the Standard that he and the other two gentlemen would be quite willing to associate with any other black ma n w h o possed the necessary qualifications , for the important trust of a delegate, but that they would not associate with Mr. Vickers. Public meetings were still being held throughout the island, and resolutions p asse d de soribing th e - ru i no us conseq uences o f .the policy o f th e British Government towards the colonies in the western hemisphere. Great hopes are entertained that this last appeal of the colonists would have some effect in Eng land, and that protection, so much desired, would at last , be concdded. ' Otti-aocontiti. from - British ' Gniantr, to : -the '27th of February, allude to the opening of the Combined Court- THE GOLD REGIONS. The discovery of gold in Queen Charlotte's Island, one of the British possessions north of Vancouver's Island, has been satisfactorily established. A report to that effect was mentioned in the last American papers, and its accuracy is confirmed by adviens received in London. It appears that the Hudson's Bay Company having been inlormed` of the probable existence of depo sits in that quarter, dispatched a brigantine called the Una, with a small crew, to Engle&ld Bay, on the west side of the island (the spot indicated), and that after a short search an extremely rich vain of quartz was laid open. The veld was about seven inches in width at the surface, and its course was from the shore to the inte rior. The party had no means of obtaining any spe cimens except by gunpowder, but they succeeded in extracting some considerable pieces, which are now on their way to England, and which are alleged to contain, as well as could be estimated, lib. of pure gold in every 71b. of ore. In the course of their operations they penetrated to a depth of about two feet, and found the vein more valuable as they descended. Tho island is inhabited solely by Indians, who are both numerous and formidable; and, although they are generally friendly to the Hudson's Bay people, it was not considered cafe fur a small number of persons to attempt any lengthened operations. A knowledge of the value of the gold seems to have been acquired by them, and they watched the process of blasting, rushing forward in a crowd after each explosion to scramble for the fragments, until the officer in charge of the expedi tion deemed it advisable to withdraw to avoid the chances of a collision. The weather at the time was also unfavourable to a lengthened stay, and on her re turn to Fort Victoria, Vancouver's Island, the vessel was driven ashore at Neah Bay, in the Straits of Juan da Fuca. Another and stronger party have, however, since been dispatched, and in a abaaitAkne,* tepatt-ef further explorations may be anticipated. Queen Char lotte's Island and Vancouver's Island are both moun tainous, and from the similarity of their formation it would seem probable that if one is found to be rich the other may possess a similar character. The subjoined letter from Captain Stanley Carr re fers to the state and prospects of the emigration movement in connexion with the Australasian gold fields : " Sir,—On reading one of the Times' articles of the 23d instant I reproached myself for not having hitherto borne my testimony to the good conduct of the Ragged School boys' sent to Port Philip daring my. residence there by the Earl of Shaftesbury; and, in proof that those objects of deep commissoration would, if judici ously selected, be willingly employed by the settlers there, I enclose a letter of the Ist of August last, from a respectable magistrate of the Portland Bay district, requesting your attention to the following passage : InLo l otr sduh shouldnoduel under fifteen Ashley'safibvfeet e sent enl b an l dy i t g . se e :a d hraesp i m f po y rf e o san u wgt ai w ecy;e o d u l al forodwmti I p el procurethre e tof m e fmso e un some r abt rhu o set f , first year, 141. the second, and current rat es afterwards.' found with regret that they were not eligible for a free passage, under the stringentregulationa of the Emigration Commissioners, prescribed, I presume, by the Colonial Government under very different circumstances. The op portunity of doing good in two ways would have been lost had I not heard from a valued friend that he had also been disappointed in the same official quarter respecting boys he wished to send to Australia from the Bristol Ragged Schools; which disappointment, however, affords me now the pleasure of forwarding them to Portland Bay at his expense. There are surely others equally distinguished,by high station, and munificent generosity, who could unite in practically extending the valuable principle (originated by the philanthropic Mrs. Chis holm) so frequently and so ably advocated by you, and who also think with us, that every human being who draws his first breath within the bounds of this glorious empire, while he cannot be born a slave, neither should he be allowed by the State to be born a beggar. The destitute of both sexes, whose only crime is poverty, have just claims to be aided in their removal from dis tricts of her Majesty's dominions where food and employ ment are difficult to be obtained to those other regions where both are never wanting, and where they might soon repay all the cost that had been incurred for them. advances. " This committee, and their friends in the colonies, whose interests they have undertaken to promote, would gladly place their advice, assistance, and experience at the disposal of such an association; and to whom we think we could suggest modes of proceeding which would prevent loss of the principal or interest of the necessary " We feel bound to express the opinion, that any amount of emigration which has lately•taken place, with the view of supplying the demand for labour in Austra lia, is utterly inadequate to its purpose; as wo believe that 20,000 men are now at the diggings in Victoria, 15,000 of whom have been diverted from their ordinary industrial occupations, the remainder being from South Australia and Van Diemen's Land. To replace those by emigration, in conformity with the regulations of the Government Commissioners (who very properly equalize the sexes), would require at least 100,000 statute adults,' which would only put matters in the state in which they were last year, leaving the subsequent de mand wholly unprovided for. Most of the men arriving at Melbourne and Geelong, for some time to come, will doubtless go at once to the almost boundless gold-fields, within two days' walk of those townt leaving the agri cultural and pastoral districts, which should supply food for the miners and the unusually increased population, as destitute as before. "From the apparent apathy in some quarters, the importance of this subject in a national point of view can scarcely be appreciated. We apprehend, however, that if emigration to the Australian settlements be not speedily taken up in some really efficient manner, so as to maintain the preponderance there in the hands of the British and German population (now second to none in loyalty), those magnificent territories may be overrun by a ruffian rabble from the coasts and islands of the Pa cific, who, supplying themselves with the sinews of war without limit in the granite ranges of the country, could give more trouble than anything ever experienced at the Cape, and ultimately relieve the mother country from all interest in affairs which appear to be at present too far off to attract the attention they demand.
