The New Plymouth Settlement is intended to consist of three classes of land. First—The town land, comprising 2,200 sections, of a quarter of an acre each. Secondly—The suburban lands, comprising 209 sections of 50 acres each. Thirdly—The rural land, comprising at least 1,150 sections of 50 acres each. All sales in England will be confined, until further notice, to actual Colonists, on the following terms :- 1. With a view to distribute as generally as may be prac ticable, the advantage to be derived from the possession of pre liminary lands, no application from an individual colonist will be entertained for more than eight allotments of land, each allotment containing one section of town land, and one section of rural land. 2. Two hundred and fifty . allotments are set apart for sale as above-mentioned, at the price of 751. for each allotment, and applications for the same are to be made in writing to the un dersigned, which, if accompanied by a deposit of 101. in respect of each allotment, will entitle the applicant to receive separate land-orders for each town and rural section, with such priorities and rights of selection as hereinafter mentioned, in exchange for the residue of the purchase money . . 3. The numbers signifying the priority of choice for the town sections have been selected on a fair average front the 1,000 numbers of choice, which have fallen to the Company in the general ballot above referred to. These selected numbers (particulars of which may be obtained at the Office in Plymouth, or at the New Zealand House, London). are de posited in a wheel, from which the purchaser's numbers will be drawn in the presence of three Directors, and of the appli cant, if he shall think proper to attend, either in person or by his agent. The purchasers will be entitled to such town sections as may have been chosen by the Company's Agents in virtue of the priority of choice signified by the number so respectively drawn. The purchasers will also be entitled to select that rural sections from any land in the Plymouth Settlement, surveyed and declared open for choice as rural sections, at the time, and according to the order of presenting the land-order in the Colony. subject only to the regulations of the land-office for preserving fairness and regularity of choice. 4. The sum of 501., in respect of every 751. received for each allotment as above, will be transferred to the Emigration Fund, and a purchaser to the extent of 3001. will be entitled to an allowance from the said fund towards the passage of himself and family to the Colony, at the rate of 251. per cent. on the amount of his purchase money. Provided that no party will be entitled to a larger allowance on the above-mentioned ac count, than will pay his own passage and that of hi, family (if any) according to the rates which will be issued from time to time by the Court of Directors. The residue of the fund will be expended in the conveyance of labouring emigrants to the settlement. Any person proceeding to New Zealand with a v'ew to pur chase Land in this settlement from the Company, will receive liberal allowances in passage-money, &c., particulars of which may be obtained at the office, or at the New Zealand House, London.

Maitland, Esq. sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of lifo ono half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half 'may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 0 81. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards by paying yearly the full premium of 571. 12s. 6d., se cure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d , with interest, being the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

SIR,-At a period when, with a few most honourable excep tions, of great Whig landholders, the two factions of the aris tocracy ( Whig and Tory), seem to have banded together to plunder the poor, and send countless thousands to a premature grave, for the sole purpose of keeping up exorbitant rents, those who have manfully stood forward as "the friends of the poor," are deserving of no measured praise. I humbly conceive, therefore, the public should evince their gratitude to those truly noble men, Lords Fitzwilliam, Radnor, and Lansdowne, who, night after night, have confronted the selfish band of confederated plunderers, and compelled them to listen to the truth. Every obstruction appears to havo been thrown in their way by the corn plunderers, and by the report of last Tuesday's debate it would appear that Lord Radnor was rudely interrupted by Lord Lyndhurst, on a matter of form, which Lord Lansdowne subsequently proved was repeatedly violated by the Tory faction. I woubt venture to suggest that those who sympathise with the unexampled sufferings of the poor, should mark the high estitnatien in which they hold Lords Fitzwilliam, Lansdowne, and Radnor, by subscribing for the purchase of apiece of plate to be presented to each, with a suitable inscription commemo rative of the noble struggle those distinguished and honourable men have made in behalf of the famishing poor of these realms. Many know how arduous and difficult a task it is to address an unwilling audience, who, as Lord Radnor observed, " when the facts of the distresses, of the poor, grounddown with misery and poverty, were brought before them, received them with ridi cule, laughter, and contempt." Honour, then, to the glorious advocates of our poor countrymen, and may Heaven reward their exertions. B. PARTY DEBATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—Ii it not most disgraceful, on the part of the House of Commons, to trifle with the wants of a distressed working people? hit consi.tent at all to have a Parliament for the mere sake of displaying party prejudice, squabbling night after night, introducing measures which are only to defeat one ano ther—trying who can make the longest speech, and who can be interrupted with the most cheers, and thus prevent the tide of national good ? The House of Commons as at present constituted requires (Heaven knows), an alteration, the sooner the better; and the time has now arrived that those boyish and unmanly squabbles will not do. The people who suffer so much under their ca price are ashamed of men who call themselves Senators, placed in Parliament, as is understood, for unanimity and one gene ral good and the time has now arrived, it the people want a good Houk of Commons, and good measures, to exert their utmost endeavours to place a large majority of honest and liberal men as their Representatives, and at once crush that heinous faction which will do no good themselves, nor let those that will.—l am, Sir, your very obedient Servant, ONE OF THE UNREPRESENTED. London, May 28. THE DIDIER PAPERS. (From the Commerce of Thursday.) Our readers will perhaps remember that we have several times published matter respecting the revelations announced in the famous Didier conspiracy. This mysterious affair is about to form the subject of trials at Grenoble ; the one a Govern ment prosecution against the Gazette du Dauphine, and the other between the Ministerial Journal the Courrier de l' Isere and M. Simon Didier, son of the victim of 1816. The latter has addressed a letter to the Courrier de l' here, and has summoned it by a warrant to publish the fol lowing.vindication of his father's character, attested by the Courrier de l here : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE COURRIER DE L'ISZILI. " Paris, May 17, 1841. " Sir,—Son of the Didier of Grenoble, I have read with great surprise, in your numbers of the 20th and 22d of April, the following statement : " Didier wished to establish a kind of jacquerie in 1816.' " A jacquerie, that is to say, caprice armed with bad pas sions, pillage, organisation of a facultative massacre, insecurity of person and of roperty, brigandage which would not be p ut since down by force, the authority would go with it ! And then for what would a jacquerie serve which was improvised elsewhere and was not instituted? With what object th's absence of institution and of discipline, at a time when tactics is everything in war, when armed individualism can produce nothing'in France, especially in the plains? Such a plan could only have been the destruction of the resources of the country, and the robbery of property and travellers. My father establishing a jacquerie—my father a chief of brigands ! This is your language, Sir ; and this language iv the more serious as you are considered in this as the organ of the Government. This language is the expression of mainess. The servants of power ought to remember that the Grenoble scaffold deserves to be respected by power above all, and by the world afterwards, which ought to honour the martyr of a political connection. The Government has profited by it, as it sits through similar attempts. No, I ought not to have anticipated to see the memory of my father attacked by such pitiful calumnies. No, I had no right to expect that a journal like yours should turn the scaffold of my father to account. And if even my father, without the participation of the Duke of Orleans, with whom he had passed, as my mother has declared to me, several hours in conference before the explo sion of the conspiracy, might have wished to hoist Louis Philippe on the throne, was it requisite to cause the destruc tion of the instruments of his elevation? Machiavel advises this, and it may be concluded that if this feeling is ungrateful it is not new. Under a Government calling itself one of repa ration, my father, Didier of Grenoble, the chief Of brigands ! No, Sir, he did not betray his accomplices ! He refused ever. to ask for clemency from the Crown, and his last request was to appear before Louis the Eighteenth, to whom alone he would, make important revelations. My father was cut up with the precipitate executions, without even the form of trial- of his accomplices. Instead of in quiry, the cry of truth was feared, which, however, the interest of the existing Government required. The con deemed without interrogatory, without a legal and formal de fence, are always innocent in the eyes of the law. This is the first principle of the law. Innocent were confounded with the guilty, and it was the natural consequence of the illegal man r,er of proceeding. My father destined and womi.ed for us important papers, in which his political views were revealed, as well as a letter to the Bishop of Grenoble to be guaranteed against the seizure of them. These papers will be remitted to you,' said my father. They have not been so. It is unever nfor tunate that M. Motte. the the defender of my father, meddled with affairs after the 10th of June, 1816. as he was designated by the victim as Counsel for the family. I have the voucher. My father told us that precautions had been taken to prevent that contrary opinions were molested. These are the facts upon which he relied, and now he is a chief of robbers. Under the eyes of the representative of au thority, of which you call yourself the or g an, two articles, one od and n the 20th, the other on the 22 d of April, have been printe distributed by you. This insane calumny has not been denied. The whole has - been done by the side of my father's tomb, of the birthplace, of the sojourn of my mother, in our native city. Authority has neither prevented, stopped, nor protested against the publication. I will tell you the character of my father. lie was religious, liberal, a over of order r w as onlymonarchica he l.

As a liberal, religious, and or of the man, my my father was the unfortunate personification actual epoch which desires all this. Now I, his son, swear before God and before man that I will at no price accept the law of silence that it is pretended to impose upon me, and that 1 shall know how to avenge my father, who ought to be glori fied more and more under this Government. I have proofs in this respect. Neither the memory of my father nor my de ceased mother, nor have gained anything from this Govern ment but humiliations.

BIRMIN C ILA FRIDAY, MAY 28.—A most alarming and disastrous conflagration took place in this town last night. About five o'clock e. M. the inhabitants of Broad-street, one of the busiest throughfares and most manufacturing districts of •he town, were suddenly disturbed in their several t ' avocations ay a re'ort that a fire had broken out upon the premises of Mr. .V. lliffe, an extensive coach-budder, carrying on business in - hat locality. It appears that about. the hour above men ioned the workmen in Mr. Iliffe's employ were engaged in a yard between the front show-room and the back workshop iu " r.nging," as it is termed, or fixing the tire of a carriage-wheel. For this purpose it is necessary that the iron at the time it is laced around the circumference of the wheel should be red hot, and in that condition attached to the circle of woodwork. Whether blameable or not. is not yet ascertained, but the fire at which the tire was heated is said to have been unusually high, and communicated with a quantity of timber in a yard immediately adjoining, belonging to Mr. Bolton, an extensive timber-merchant. The Norwich, Birmingham, District, Bar racks, and town engines, and others belonging to various pri vate establishments, were speedily on the spot. All efforts to stay the progress of the devouring element were, however, for a time, notwithstanding the abundance of water in the neigh bourhood, comparatively unavailing. The stock of dry timber in Mr. Bolton's yard, amounting in value to about 4,5001., had by this time become almost one mass of flame, and the firemen were unable, from local difficulties. to obtain com manding situations from which they could with efficiency discharge their engines. By this time, Mr. Commissioner Burgess, Major Shaw, Mr. G. Redfern, Superintendent Stephens, and about WO of the police force had arrived. Seeing that the confined situation of Mr. Bolton's yard prevented the efficient working of the engines, it was determined to destroy a long outer wall 15 feet high, arid every description of ‘• battering-ram" was used for this pu••• pose. Unfortunately, after a protracted assault, the wall, con trary to expectation, fell outwardly, and several of the police were severely injured. One poor fellow, a labouring man, who was found covered with brick., was removed to the hos pital in a hopeless state, and others are deemed in a preca rious condition, but up to this time no death has oecurred. Although the premises of Mr. Bolton received the greatest in jury, yet other inhabitants and millowners of the neighbour hood were grext*ifferees. A.-grest, port ion of Basket vtli• 4 4 l (so termed because of the site being formerly in the occupa tion of the celebrated Baskerville) was destroyed ; and, I re. Bret to say, that the chief tenant, a renter named Power, was uninsured, and will consequently be a great loser. The manu factory of the Messrs. Phipson, pin-manufacturers, adjoined this building, but. owing to the promptness and great presence of mind of Mr. S. Phipson, although in the most imminent danger, it sustained comparatively little damage. The great Union •trill, occupied in the rolling of metals, manu facture of glass, &c., and situated at the back of the premises of .Messrs. Iliffe and Bolton, had a most extraordinary escape from destruction. Notwithstanding that a considerable space of ground intervened, and that the canal ran between the fire Ind this building, it was more than once on fire ; and it is said by eye-witnesses, that had it not been for the vigilant attention of a young gentleman named Lloyd, connected with one of 'he fire-offices, the mill must have fallen a prey to the flames. The damage done to dwelling-houses, factories, the timber yard, and other property, is estimated at from 12,0001. to 14,000/., the greater part of which is insured, but many par ties will be very heavy sufferers. So extensive a fire has not been witnessed in Birmingham, except at the riots in 1791 and 1839, by the oldest inhabitant Lying. The alarm which it created may be judged of from the fact that fire-engines came from Walsall, Dudley, Wolverhampton, West Bromwich, and even from Coventry, and that all were in full play before the flames were extinguished. The number of people for a time thrown out of service by this unexpected calamity will be con siderable—and that, too, at a period when the Birmingham workpeople can ill afford to lose one moment's employment. Trade is at the very lowest ebb, with no prospect of an influx of the tide. AWFUL STORM. WOKINCHAM, 3IAY 28. —Last night the Forest Division of Berkshire was visited by one of the most terrific thunder and hail storms which this country has ever witnessed. The sky, which for the last two days had been unusually bright and sul try, began about eight o'clock in the evening to present symp • toms of a change, and to forebode the coming tempest. As the night closed in, the atmosphere became more close and oppressive, and masses of dark and threatening clouds began to collect from the south-east, illuminated almost incessantly with vivid sheets of lightning, accompanied by the most ter • rifle crashes of thunder. Up to this time there bad been no fall of any kind ; but about half-past nine— without a minute's warning—the most destructive shower of hail was discharged, that it has ever been cur lot to record. We have been favoured with an account of the storm by one family who were spectators of the scene. They were sitting at the tea-table, and the servant, who had fastened the shutters in two of the rooms was pi eparing to close the others , when a crash was heard, as if the side of the house had fallen in, and in an instant the shutters were burst open and the room covered with pieces of ice, many of which were found under the sofas half an hour afterwards, as large and nearly as hard as marbles. To close the shutters a second time was found to be impossible, as the liehtning almost blinded those who at tempted it, and the shower of hail was irresistible. In the bed-rooms where the windows had been left open, the chairs were thrown down, the beds drenched with hailstones, and the floors covered with ice and glass. After raging in tilts awful manner for about twenty minutes the storm abated. The chief weight of the tempest seems to have fallen on the country between Bracknell and Reading, a distance of about 11 miles. In Bracknell and Wokingham the windows on one side of the street in each have been literally smashed in, and are likely to afford work to the glaziers for three months. At Easthamstead-park, the sear of the Marquis of Downshire, great mischief has been done to the mansion and the conser vatories At Bill-hill, the seat of Mr. Leveson Gower, the damage is immense, nearly all the windows on one side of the house being broken. At Bear Wood Itso panes are broken on one side of the house, besides all the glass in the conservatories and skylights. At Hurst House, the residence of Sir John Con roy, the damage is said to amount to nearly 1,000/. At Sin dlesham House, the residence of Mr. T. Harman, 136 panes are broken in the house, and the glass in the conservatories quite destroyed. In the Berkshire Hospital at Reading 150 panes are broken4_and at Purley, near Reading, we hear that in addition to other damage several cows have been destroyed. The ravages of the storm out of doors are not less complete, and are far more distressing than within doors. The devasta tion of the crops is immense ; whole fields of beans, peas, and turnips, besides wheat, are as completely levelled as if they had been cut off by a scithe, and several small farmers will probably be ruined. The flower gardens present a most melancholy spectacle, being completely strewed with the wrecks of their late luxuriance, and the shoots of the young forest trees are in many places quite cut off. The visitation has certainly been most awful, and will be long and painfully remembered. We are thankful to add, that we have not heard of the loss of any lives, nor of the occurrence of any personal injury. The following fatal accident occurred in Hyde-park during the thunder storm on 'Thursday evening. Shortly before nine o'clock the signal being given for the persons waiting to bathe to enter the waters of the Serpentine, a party, among whom was a young man named John Marshall, 22 years of age, re siding. at No. 3, Lentq-court, Museum-street, Bloomsbury, went into the water. From the time of their doing so the lightning continued to increase in vividness, and some of the party becoming alarmed, made fur the shore, followed by their companions, except the deceased. His absence was, however, not observed until they had dressed, when his name was called several times, and no answer being returned, fears were en tertained that he had been struck by the electric fluid and had sunk. Information of the circumstance was accord ingly immediately communicated to the officers of the Royal Humane Society, who are stationed on the river at bathing time, who instantly commenced dragging ; but no one being able to point out the spot where the unfortunate young man had gone down, full a quarter of an hour elapsed before the body was got up by Knight, the chief boatman, by whom it was promptly conveyed to the receiving-house, and the usual means of resuscitation employed, but without effect, life bring quite extinct. The body was subsequently removed to St. George's Workhouse, in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square , where it awaits a coroner's inquest. Some idea may be foimed of the powerful effects of the electric fluid, when it is stated that of the fine row of plane trees on the north side of the Serpentine, 13 or 14 have had nearly the whole of their foliage literally burnt up, and on the south side several of the splendid elms have had limbs nearly the thickness of a man's body torn off and severed from the trunks. On Thursday night, during the storm of thunder and light ning, a man, named William Taylor, a hairdresser, in Red Cross-street, Southwark, while sitting.smoking his pipe at his shop-door, was observed to fall suddenly off his chair on the pavement. He was immediately lifted up by some persons, who carried him into the house, and it was there discovered by his friends that, although he received no external injury, yet that he was suddenly deprived of his speech and hearing, and has remained in that condition ever since. He has, however, the use of his faculties, and by signs and what he has written down on paper he attributes the awful visitation to the shock his nerves sustained by a vivid flash of lightning, which he de scribes as having rendered him insensible for some minutes. On Thursday night, Brighton was visited by a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain. It first broke over the sea ' and then came over the town. Tha storm was truly alarming for upwards of arrtiour, and it is said to have been only equalled by that in which the chain pier was so much damaged. No serious accident or damage was heard of.

GOSSIP OF THE HERALD.-r-LORD EBRING TON'S MARRIAGF.—The happy day of the Viceroy's nuptials' s not yet publicly known. According to some rumours, they will not take place till the fate of the Ministry is decided, but it is more generally thought that his Excellency will not suffer any Ministerial division to create a matrimonial one, or the destiny of her Majesty's advisers to control his own. As it is not every day that a chief Governor falls in love, it may be in teresting to some readers to know the manner in which the arrows of Cupid pierced the heart of Lord Ebrington. He was partaking of the hospitalities of Mrs. Putland, at Bray, enjoying the delights of a fete champetre, some short time ago, when a thunder-storm arose. The illustrious guest fled for shelter to a tree--an oak of the forest. It so happened that Lady Somerville retreated tothe same place of s helter. The storm tinned for for an hour—the fair lady became alarmed —his Excel lency consoled her, and appeased her fears. An rgreeable tete-a-tete ensued despite the rain and thunder, and in that hour, tempestuous in weather but felicitous in love, the vene rable and sedate Lord Ebrington became enamoured of the beautiful enchantress. It is also not a little singular, that:. Sir W. Somervi le offered the lady his hand before his father, Sir Marcus, proposed to make her the partner of his life ; hut she declined the honour, and took Sir Marcus " for better for worse." Some years after the death of Sir Marcus, the Hon. Hugh Fortescue, son of Lord Ebrington, sought the honour of relieving her ladyship from the weeds of widow hood, but she politely rejected his amatory offer. Lord Ebrington addressed her, and she consented to become his wife. This rejection of two sons, and acceptence of two fathers, has given rise to much amusing chat-chat in the fashionable circle, here. There has been a good deal of skirmishing - in the House of Lords on the Corn-laws. Lord Lord Radnor, and Lord Clarendon have successfully combated the misrepresentctions and fallacies of the monopolists ; and on Tuesday Lord Lansdowne made a very able speech, in which he clearly showed the mis carriage of the sliding scale, and also very happily illus trated the consequences of attempting to make Vile coun try independent of foreign supplies of corn br the pa rallel absurdity of France in endea‘ouring to make herself independent of foreign supplies of oxen. As to the sliding scale, Lord Lansdowne remarked : , " A fixed duty had been called a delusion, but thero never was a greater delusion than that of supposing, that the sliding scale gave a steady protection to the agricul ture of the country. He was aware—and he only stated what he knew could be proved—that parties in different parts of the country had agreed to cram the market with • a particular kind of corn, on three or four market days preceding the striking of the averages ; and this was done for the purpose of controlling vitt: obstructing the act of the Legislature. The consequ?.nce was, that the averages suddenly rose to a price at which foreign corn could come in at a very low duty, and then one or two millions of quarters of corn were suddenly thrown in. The existing law was the lever with which these parties effected this operation, by which, at a sacrifice of 30,0001. or 40,000/., they made 300,0001. or 400,0,0/. at the expense of the revenue. What was the conse quence ? This corn did not come in the regular course of trade, which would enable merchants, millers, and far mers to calculate upon it ; bat it was suddenly thrown in, and consequently there was a necessity for its being paid for in money ; and then, in addition to the evil to the fanner, if there was any evil to the ; farmer, • the whole community was disturbed by a derangement of the cur rency, the export of the precious menpis, and the disorder of the paper currency of the country. The introduction of foreign corn, which in the regular course of trade would have been perfectly innoxious, produced all these evils, because it was sudden and unexpected. This had occurred in the autumn of 1839, and it was repeated in the autumn of 1840." The doctrine of protection, to the degree of producing independence of fJteign supplies, was thus happily exem plified by Lord Lansdowne in an apt parallel, coming with peculiarly good effect in retort— " A l'stOblo Lord opposite thought to make out a tri umphant case of the superiority of the condition of the people of this country over that of tho people of France, among other nations, by quoting from I‘l. Curtin Ori '(htittt, nsthttetwat how pan the French o::eu were in (:oni parion with the English oxen, the one, as he said, nut being half so big 11,: t in' other ; but had it never occurred to the Noble I.,wrd that these rery lean oxen were ihr crra tures qt . protection ?—(H ear, hear.) That these rety lean oxen w:..re precisely the result of the protection which the French islat ere had thought proper to extend to French graziers, the French graziers insisting upon it that all France must incritably s(arre it it dePended von any other country jior its .supply ql OITA !----(llvar, hear.) It wes admitted that French oxen were, as the Noble Lord said, lean, but the French graziers said, Glee ns time, and we'll let you hare such toe fat oxen some time or other, i f you won't let anybody else silpply you hat French graziers. (Hear.) Besides it would.never do to allow fat German oxen to be admitted into France, lest, peradventure the principles of some of the German illuminati might get in with them.—(A laugh.) Front the lettinu..ss of French oxen might an illustration be drawn as to the effect of similar _protection upon our agricultural produce.—(llear, hear.) It was said that it was impossible for a nation to get on without it extended protection to its various interests ; yet in Switzerland, where it had not been thought laves s try to have a system of pr.otection, every branch of industry was greatly improving, both in agrieultitre and mantifiwtures, though there was no country in Europe which contained a larger proportion of /Hier land than F there was in Switzerland.—(llear, near.) Ile did " not mean that, while other interests were protected, agriculture should be deprived of protection, but he was fully perstuabd, that not only the general prosperity of the country, but Mat qf agriculture itself, wonld be promoted by the change noir proposed.—(llear, hear.) Ile himself was a co:maks-able landowner he depended, indeed, en . tit ely on land, and the land he pf,ssessed was not free from (Lase incumbranc;..s which it had been urged so materially (Ty 'wrote(' the disadrantages under whirl, the a;:ricit!tural interest hthoured ; hut, he woidd riperit,• he was fidly con rinced that not only he Itiosself ;meth!' not sufli'r, but rather benefit by the change, fuel he was con rinced also tlrt t the class to wLielt he belonged would not .yuffiT, but rather benefit by the change as a bad y.—(l-lear, hear.) The farmers in England are not more improved in condition by protection than the oxen is France. Both are brought to the leanest possible state by the excel ire care of their Legislatures. Some time ago we proposed that the argument that the Cora-laws served the farmer; should be brought to the test by an annual farmer' show, like the cattle show, in which might be exhibited those prize fanners who have fattened on the system of protection. A farmer who had increased his capital by a large per centage would be as great a wonder, we susixci, as a fat ox in France. If the Oxen of France could speak upon occasion, as the oxen of ancient itotno used to do now and then in the Forum, would they bless the protection which makes them so small and slim, or would they take wiser views of the interests of their flesh than our nuckinghams and Knatchbulls would assign to our fanners ?—Exuatiner. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE , FURTHER ENDOWMENT O,I.ITHEUNIVERSITY OF DURITAMj At a Convocation holden on Saiinitiy, May 22. 1841, the scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Eng land, for the further endowment of the University, was laid before Convocation and received the approbation of the House. The scheme is drawn up in pursuance of the intentions and engaguients of the late 'Bishop -Van Isliblert, and in a2cordance with the previous resolution of the Ecclesi astical Commissioners to make Certain arrangements with respect to the Deanery and . Canonries of the Ca thedral Church of Durham, with view to maintaining the University of Durham in a state of respectability and efficiency. The following are the principal provisions of the scheme : The office of Warden, upon the first vacancy, is to be attached to the Deanery of Durham ; the present 'War den receiving 50oL annually during his incumbency. A Canonry in the Cathedral Church is to be attached to each of the Professorships of Divinity and Greek. The present Professor of Mathematics is to be ap pointed Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy; with an annual salary of 700/. When the office of 'Warden shall be• annexed to the Deanery, the salary of 500/., paid to the 'present 'War den during his incumbency, is to be applied to found a ProFessorship of. Hebrew and the other Oriental Lan- gun es. In addition:to the six Fellowships alrJady founded by the Dean and Chapter, there are to be founded eighteen Fellowships, making twenty-four such Fellowships in the whole. Two of such eight en Fellowships are to be founded on the 29th day of September, 1341, and the. same number in each year until the year 1849 inclusive. Eight tmly of the twenty-four Fellows who have exceed ed the age of 23, are allowed to continue Laymen. The Lay Fellowships are tenable for eight, the Clerical for ten years. They are to be of the annual value of 1201., the ten senior Clerical Fellows receiving 1501. Candidates for Fellowships must have been admitted to the•degree of B.A. in the University of Durham, and are to be elected according to the reindations now iu force, or such other regulations as shall ba duly male for securing the election of the most meritorious eandi (lite, regard being always had to moral character as well as to learning. The Fellowships are to be vacated by marriage or ec c'e.,iastieal preferment. Towards providing the funds for making these pay ments, ail the estate and interest now vested in the Ec clesiastical Commissioners, in the lands, &c., formerly assigned to the Deanery and to the eleventh Canonry of the Cathedral Church of Durham (all tithes being ex cepted) are to be vested in the Warden, Masters , a nd Scholars - of the University of Durham ; and when it shall become necessary, further provision is to be made for granting such additional endowment, as may appePr to theEcelesiastical Commissioners necessary fur making up the deficiency.

MABERLEY'S NEW NOVEL, " THE Love:-MATcw." . =--Judging from the unanimous tone of the various opinions on this new novel of Mrs. Maber ley, its success promises to be even more decided than that of " Emily." The tillowing is from the Weekly Chronicle :—" We have not read for a long time so pleas ing a novel as 4 The Love-Match.' The power with with which the characters are drawn—the admirable manner in which they are balanced with one another- 7 - the strain of melancholy running through the story, deepen ing as it proceeds, and ending so pathetically—all corn thine,to render it a most i n teresting. and moving novel. The'etintrast Which De Grey , the old fascinating man of the world, presents to the gentle, unsuspecting Florence. —the clever picture of the old dowager Lady Maiwood, , and the intriguing Julia—all bespeak the power of the authoress, and her intimate knowledge of that society which she so bares and exposes in these admirable vo lumes."
