T o BE LET, PASTURE and ARABIA: 'FARMS, of from 1,600 to 5,0:10 Acres eacli, at ONE SHILLING PER ACRE, AND NU TAXES, situate in a genial climate at THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, not two degrees from the mouth of the Kny snit, which is a na vigable river fix vessels of 400 tons, ten miles inland; seventy miles from the port of Beaufort, and three hours' ride only from the beautiful district of Swartland. The Land is principally pas ture, with a few thousand acres for corn and wine: it is admir ably adapted to depasture Sheep. and the Merino Wool is highly appreciated in England. The pasture is quite equal to fat beasts upon, and the wheat produced upon the arable lands is not to be surpassed at Mark lane. There are Vineyards, and the Cape Wino is very fine. The Madras Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape, as well as the Mauritius and St. Helena. Slabberts Poort is a most improveable Estate, and in tie hands of English:nen, or more especially, a few FIRST-RATE SCOTCH FARMERS, would soon become invaluable. Its position is one of the first importance, being on the direct road to the frontier, and in a position where a profitable business might be carried on inde pendent of farming. It is near the forests of the Knysna and the ports of Hassel Bay and River Kilian*. The latter port will probably soon be opened b y t h e completion of a projected road from lieaufort district to it. It is very eligible an many other respects; vessels of 400 tons burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on board four miles up the river. There are a great number of ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS, with moderate capital, say from t,OOO/. to 3.0001. eae4, who have, within the last two years, located themselves in the Culonv ; and it is not a little gratifying to behold the fine flocks of well and cross-bred sheep, so abundantly scattered ab sot ; it is surprising to see how well the animals look—sheep as well as cattle. This is a convincing proof that the grazing sualities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep. The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the Colony, and, it is said, from the frontiers alone, ONE MILLION OF POUNDS, AT LEAST, WILL. BE EXPORTED THIS YEAR, and a corresponding export from this end of the Colony. The Cape will eventually, and ere long, FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE, for the investment of capital and introduction of labour, in spite of any opposition. Emigrati on h ere , w i t h moderate capita l , must be certain and successful. THE NEW TARIFF IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE, and the time of its introduction most apropos. The Colony will now export in large quantities Salt Provisions—Fat Oxen are procured there at 4/. , or lid. per lb., th e h i d e wort h 20s. 'lbis is a brief outline of the advantages in perspective for men of character and small capital, and if they produce good references will have the Farms FREE FROM RENT TUE FIRST YEAR; SOCIETY for the DISCHARGE and RELIEF of PERSONS IMPRISONED for SMALL DEBTS, throughout ENGLAND and WALES. and then for seven years at ONE SHILLING PER ACRE PER ANNUM. The prospect is even more cheering than to Australia, where such rapid fortunes are being made. Principals will meet with great encouragement by applica tion to Air.

But your Directors are convinced: hat in the administration of affairs of such magnitude as those of the Company, it would be the most-sighted policy t o grasp at immediate large profit, at the expense of neglecting . the permanent i m p rovemen t of your possess i ons ; and they are happy to state that they have bee nt h e able to give full eff ec t t o th ese v i ews . During In months under review, whilst emigration to older Colonies i n A us t ra li a has been almost entirely dsus pended, that o f thi s C ompany h as b een mane on without interruption, and upon a great scale. The result of these energetic proceedings has bean most favourable. The vessels chartered for the cons eyance of freeemi gran t s h ave a l so carr i ed out a large. pro. portion of capitalists—the employers of la hour. The latest accounts from your settlements repr, sent them as eminently flourishing. Dispatches reek ived on the 6th inst. from Nelson state that the Ii gads reserved for the Company in that settlement l ave already acquired considerable value from the gent anal prosperity of the colonists. And during the pea iod under review, an arrangement has been made s% ith her Majesty's Colonial Department, which will ; aid no less than 100,000 acres to your possessions. " Still, as your actual income from the sale of l and has been but small ; as the general aspect of the tii nes is not yet materially improved ; and as it is obvior tsly prudent, under such circumstances, to husband.y our resources until there shall be a clearer prospect A' a return of general prosperity ; your Directors aro a opinion that you will do well to limit the di vidend_ for the half-year ending the Ist of October instant, so 2 / 1/. per cent s . being at the rate of .5/. per cent. per annum. They are convinced that by taking this cautious course, you will not only add to their p ower of carrying on your affairs with energy and ad van tage, but that the public at large, contrasting this forbearance with the vigour and magnitude of ; Four measures of emigration, and with the undimini shed. support extended to the settlements which you have planted, will be disposed to regard .jour proceedings with increased favour, and to repose the , greateis con fidence in your judgment and integrity." J. H. LANCE, Esq., moved that the Repbrt be adopted, and that a dividend of two and a. half per cent. for the last half year be agreed to. lie thought, the dividend of ten per cent. which had been pre viously granted ought never to have been made, and he could assure the meeting that he had hesitated long as to whether or not he should be connected with the Company in consequence of that exorbitant grant.. He thought the present proposition, vhich have a dividend of five per cent , quite sufficient, and as much as the Company could properly grant. Mr. ARDEN seconded the motion. The large and handsome dividend of last year, he must confess struck him with astonishment, because he thought it calcu lated rather to damage than benefit the Society. H e thought a dividend of five per cent. for an incorpo rated Company like the present was quite sufficient, The CHAIRMAN having put the question, decla re & the resolution to be carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said that it atrorcled him the greatest satisfaction to see the Report adopted unani mously. The Directors had taken the greatest pos sible pains in attending, not only to the interest of the Proprietors, but the public at large, and he felt .no doubt that the time was not far distant when they would be amply repaid for all that they had done. With respect to the dividend that had been declared, he would only . say that he fslt convinced that it was more for the interest of the Company that the public should be benefited than that the dividends of the Company should be swelled. At the same time he . might be permitted to say that his firm belief was, that the funds of the Company were in so flourishing a state that they might continue the late dividen6, but the Directors had thought it better and more far the interest of the Company and the public to adopt the course they had now 'imposed, and he had no do abt that when they met again the Directors would, be able to lay before the Proprietors the strongest evi dence of the propriety of the present proceedinr / s. He wished to state, before he concluded his observations, that the Directors had received the most liavourable accounts from their last established colony, Nelson, from which they were induced to hone that it would become as prosperous as its sister colonies, Wellingto l a and New Plymouth.—(Cheers.) It might also be gratifying to the Proprietors to know that no fewer than 8,473 emigrants had been conveyed by the Csau pany to where he hoped they would find a prosperous and happy home.—(Cheers.) Another most gr: etifv ing fact which he had to announce to the Proprietors was, that coal of a quality equal to that fauna at Newcastle, and also lime, had been discovexed near Nelson. This would be a source of great, vealth to the colony, and would aid greatly in the. establish ment of steam navigation,(Ctseess.) The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a qucstion from Ms ; Watson, said that the Plymouth Company had znergm into the present one. Mr. 'WATSON trusted that the Directors. vAsuld take into their consideration the expediency of rest ing a port at New Plymouth, which wass much wanted, in order to carry on trade there With 'success. The CHAIRMAN said that the Directors had not been unmindful of the subject allue, e d t o -b y the Honourable Proprietor. They bad sent out moorings, wb;_tli had been of great service ; and so soon as Ow. funds of the Company, arising from the land ssles, were suffielent,after providin g proper l v tke purposes of emigration, the Directors would not hesitate a moment as to. the course they should pursue A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors h• - s v..

From the great tender ness of the joist I was quite unable to walk, the limb tinned very much swollen and edematous, and I suff ered . dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms is the night, which extended from the ascle t• the leg, thigh, back, and to the arras. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—thee to adopt sea bathing. lay accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, tho swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Air. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac- Witted by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf je--ers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against e ,- , trythinF in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to up . :'°l.Ct a system which, generally speaking , I know to be nothing but a n . :* farious traffic and humbug.

A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF CONSIDERABLE MAGNITUDE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, OF THE EARL OF LUCIE. THE WOODCHEST ER PARK ESTATE ; INFINITELY THE FINEST LANDED INVESTMENT IN THE MARKET. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce that he Las been favoured by instructions from the Noble Earl to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, in the month of May THE MAGNIFICENT ESTATE, WITH A PRINCELY DEMESNE, familiaras THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE, in the rich part of Gloucestershire, near to Stroud, the pro perty of THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUCIE. The present object is merely to awaken in good time the atten tion of those v,ho have the means, and are anxious to avail themselves of an Investment infinitely surpassing any purchase that has been in the market since the memorable Sales of THE LATE EARL OF ORMONDE. Early in the Spring Mr. Robins will endeavour to enlist tl.e public attention by a very faithful announcement, which will necessarily enter more into particulars than the condensed statement that follows. It is accounted THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF GLOUCESTER SHIRE, and the prominent features aline are so many and so varied, that it would be impossible to compress them within the mean ing of this short announcement: at present it will suffice to ob serve that the Mansion and Offices (of the pure Bath Stone) were created at an expense exceeding One Hundred Thousand Pounds ; it is seated in the beauteous vale of Gloucester, and in A PARK LUXURIANT BEYOND DESCRIPTION, NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY TO ANYTHING CONTEMPORANEOUSIN ENGLAND. IT EXTENDS TO FOURI EEN HUNDRED ACRES, AND IN WHICH THE WOODS AND THE WATERS are fur ever contending for the supremacy ; and this, be it remembered, at a distance of only three hours and a-haif ride from London, THE ESTATE EXTENDS FOUR MILES IN LENGTH, AND IS MORE THAN FIVE MILES BROAD, including Lots of first-rate Farms, with a tenantry quite un exceptionable. The value exceeds THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. There is connected with the Woachester Property TWO ADVOWSONS—WOODCHESTER AND FROCESTER, _ _ _ with capital abodes. THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF NYMPHFIELD, AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER TWELVE HUNDRED INDEPENDENT YEOMEN. It is believed Mr. Robins has now set forth enough to incline all those who think with him that terra firma is the first security in the world, to give it their immediate and serious attention ; and since THE ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE MANNER by which SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., has settled and put to rest for ever, the INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL, there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who were sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per Cents., at a very high and somewhat unhealthy price. Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally the opportunity to explain the minutia connected with the Woodchester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to make inquiry.

An article appeared in many of the papers yester day, copied from the Leeds Mercury, representing that the decisions of the Stutgard Congress have been exceedingly hostile to English interests, and insinuating, moreover, that our Government had been overreached in this matter by Prussian diplomacy. The following are stated in the paper as the alterations about to be made in the duties upon English manu factures : " 1. A small measure of duty on cotton warps. "2. English and French quincaillerie goods—that is, the hardware goods of Birmingham,. &c.—will be placed under a considerably higher duty, probably an addition of not less than 50 dollars per cwt. "3, and most important. Manufactured goods of worsted, worsted and cotton mixed, fancy woven and printed, dyed and gray, are in future to pay a duty of 50 dollars per cwt. The only exceptions under this head are all plain worsted fabrics,—such as merinos, saxonies, and lastings, which, together with woollen cloths and plain kerseymere, will remain at the former rate of duty, namely, 30 dollars per cwt." As this information has been very widely dissemi nated, it may be worth while to ascertain, in the first instance, the quarter from whence such ill-omened news comes, and, in the next, to see how far, if it be true, the alteration in the German tariff is likely to affect English interests. The statements in the article in question, it must be recollected, are acknowledged to be only hearsay, inasmuch as it is admitted that the resolutions of the Congress were not then published, and we are in duced to believe that these statements have been hastily made, from the fact that in the account which the Hamburgh Correspondent gives of the matter, nothing of the sort is mentioned. That paper, which it must be allowed is generally well informed on commercial subjects, upon the au thority of letters from Stutgard of the 26th of Sept., says--" The meeting of the Zoll Congress has come to a close, and the discussions have ended. The result of their deliberations is not yet known to the public with any degree of certainty, but it is generally un derstood that the duties imposed in the tariff have not been greatly altered." Now, it is singular that if so important an altera tion had been determined upon, such a complete ig norance of the fact should have existed on the spot. Official personages here connected with Germany make no hesitation in expressing their disbelief of the fact to the extent asserted. It may, how ever, be useful to make the public ac quainted with what is really known here by well-in torined people as to the intention of Prussia,_as it is of the utmost consequence that the community should not be misled by the crude notions of the ignorant or the interested statements of parties who put forth such rumours to suit their own purposes, political or otherwise. .We therefore call attention to the follow- ing facts, which may be implicitly relied on. -- The duty now paid by cotton manufactures in en tering the States of the League is 50 dollars (71. 10s.) sterling per cwt. Woollen goods not fulled, and goods made of woollen mixed with cotton or worsted, pay 30 dollars (4/. 125.) Now the proposition of Prussia at the present con ference is, that the manufactured goods of woollen, not fulled, and of wool mixed with cotton, having designs printed upon them, shall be considered as cotton goods, liable to a duty of 7/. 10s. instead of 41. 10s. Goods of that description, dyed only one colour, remain as in the former tariff,- at 41. Us. per cwt. The fact is, that when the present tariff was settled, such articles were only known in the market dyed white, or of one colour. The French first introduced printed goods of the description called mousselin-de laine. England followed up the example, but pro duced an inferior description of article at a lower price. The consequence was that they gradually came into use in place of cotton goods of the same description, the more so, as th 4 latter description of goods paid 2-sths per cent. more duty, although of less value than the mousselin-de-laine. Now the duties of the Zollverein not being levied ad valorem, a change like that here represented could not be met by a change of the official value as it would be in England. The only remedy would, therefore, be a more correct classification according to the changed value, and this is simply the nature of the Prussian proposal. It must be recollected that as regards mousselin de-laine and other fabrics of wool mixed with cotton, the general principle of the Union tariff prescribes that mixed goods are to be rated not according to the rate of the cheaper, but of the dearer material used in its fabrication. This is an exception in the present tariff which it is proposed to abolish. The proposed alteration will not, it is supposed, amount on an average to more than 10 per cent. ad valorem, instead of 7 or 8 per cent., which is the amount of the actual duty ; and the question then becomes, what quantity or amount of goods is likely to come under the operation of these altered duties ? The amount of all the manufactured goods of this description, and which comes under the head 11, title C, of the tariff, Was in 1840 26,298 cwt., and in Iti4l 30,844 cwt., of which about two-thirds, or any 20,000 cwt., was English. Now, it should be remembered that these figures include every description of the article upon which the increased duty is proposed to be laid, as well figured and printed as plain, and if we take what we understand is really the fact, that only about one-third of the quantity was printed, and of such a description as to come under the increased duty, it would he seen that the great outcry in the Leeds Mermy is made about art article upon which the alteration of the duty upon all exported from this country will not impose a larger sum than under 20,0001. at the utmost, It must not be forgotten that, as before stated, goods of one colour remain at the same duties as before. It should further be romarked, as a matter of fair. ness towards Prussia, that the greater portion of mousselin-de-laines manufactured in Germany are the manufactures of other States, Prussia herself making but a very small quantity of the article, We see no great reason to place more confidence in the statement of the writer in the Le Nis Mercury, as regards quincaillerie, or as he 'pleases to call them, Birmingham goods. We repeat, there is no goo d ground for the assertion that any great increase Is to take place in the import duties on that description of article. We, however, have good reason to know that upon iron and iron goods generally no change will talie place ;nor upon cotton twist; and we believe that, on the whole, it will be found that this country has much less cause for complaint than is anticipated by the writer in the -Leeds Mercury. It will be found, when the tariff really does come one, that the alteration in the duties, and the increase upon some few articles, were but a tub thrown to the whale, to amuse the smaller States, and to prevent the imposition of heavy duties upon much more important articles being insisted on.—Correspondent of the Times. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BIRNAM-HILL,-.4V0 are gratified to learn that Lady Peel has, at the sugges tion of Sir Robert, generously bestowed, out of a fund which is at the disposal of the Lady of the First Lord of the Treasury for charitable purposes, the sum of five pounds per annum on the widow of the unfortunate man, Daniel M'Lachlan, who was killed by a fall from Birnam-hill on the night of her Ma jesty's arrival in this city, while tending the bonfire on the hill, This is in addition to thirty pounds I*. stowed by her Majesty out of her efinto purse.— Perth Advertiser, THE THEATRES. COVENT GARDEN. After Sheridan Knowles' play of the Hunchback, Gretry's Opera of _Richard Cceur de Lion, with additional orchestral accompaniments by Adolphe Adam, was revived at this theatre last evening. This opera is interesting on many accounts. It is interesting as being one of the earliest and best works of the father of the modern school of French music—the friend of Jean Jacques Rousseau, who, occupying the cottage at Montmorency, after Jean Jacques' death, and preserving it with a religious care, has made Montmorency sacred ground alike to the sentimentalist and the musician—interesting, as having been produced in this country some fifty years since, with John Kemble as the hero, on which occasion Michael Kelly, who had just returned from Italy, visited an English theatre for the first time, and entering the box just as John Kemble was operating in a song, fancied that if that were the English primo tenure he should have no great difficulty in surpassing him. But there is also a deeper and more painful source of interest at tached to this opera. Its most celebrated air, "Oh ! Richard, oh ! mon Roi," became, during the first French . revolution, the gathering song of the Royalists. None of our readers who are at all read in the history of that eventful period, can forget the enthusiasm ex cited by this song among the Gerdes du Corps du. 'Roi at the fete at Versailles, mhich. was raised almost to madness by the sudden appearance among them of Marie Antoinette with the Dauphin in her arms ; nei ther can they forget the terrible vengeance which the Paris mob wreaked on these imprudent but unfortu nate and devoted men two days afterwards, when, marching into Versailles, they massacred all who had taken part in that festivity, and transferred the Royal Family from Versailles to Paris. These extensive sources of interest are quite sufficient to justify a re vival of this celebrated opera, even were its intrinsic merits not so great as they really are. Those merits, however, are of a high order. The prevailing characteristic of Gretry's music is melody—sweet, ex pressive melody ; and therefore his style is admirably adapted to the illustration of such a story as that of the captivity of the lion-hearted King. The principal character in the opera is, of course, Blondel, and an admirable representative he found in the person of Mr. W. Harrison. We have never seen this gentle man to so much advantage. The music is exactly suited to the compass of his voice; he had evidently studied it carefully, and he executed it can amore His opening song, the celebrated " Oh 1 Richard, oh ! mon Roi," was given with great feeling; and the duet at the end of the first act, with Miss Rainforth, was not only sung but acted in admirable style, and elicited a well-de served encore. In the scene in which Richard is dis covered by the song, Mr. Harrison displayed a taste and pathos, for the possession of which we did not give him credit. He was excellently supported by Mr. Travers, as Richard; and here again he elicited• a rapturous encore. The scenery is beautiful, there were some pretty dances, and the music is of a cha racter to please all those who delight in exqusite me lody. Doubtless the opera will draw. The house was well filled. ADELPHI. Douglas Jerrold's interesting drama of the Hazard of the Die was performed at this theatre last evening with a very strong cast, and was completely success ful. The acting of Lyon as the Gamester was ter rifically energetic. The beautiful ballet of the Daughter of the Danube followed, for the purpose of introducing Madame Proche Giubilei to an Adelphi audience as Fleur-des-Champs. Wieland, as the Imp, was as grotesque and laughter-moving as ever. The house was crammed to the ceiling. NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. A. Special Court of the Proprietors of this meat undertaking was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the Company's offices, New Broad-street, for the pur pose of considering a dividend. Shortly after one o'clock, H. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P., in the absence of the Governor, took the chair. At this time we noticed among those present, Sir J. Goldsruid, Bart.. Mr. Willis, Mr. King, Mr. Gower, Mr. C. Buller, M.P., Mr. Mangles, M.P., Captain Narvine, Mr. Sheriff Fil c h er , Ad m i ra l Si r A. Far quhar, Mr. Hibbert, and Mr. Vincent Eyre. Mr. AGLIONBY, M.P., on taking the chair, said that the present meeting was called for the purpose of considering of a dividend, and such being the case lie should confine anv observations he had to make to that point alone. Ile could assure the Proprietors that the Directors, in the course they. had adopted, while they had duly considered their interest, had not been unmindful of that higher purpose which ought to be their first consideration, namely, the public advahtage.—(Cheers.) It was a great satis faction for him to state that, from all the account , : they had received, the Colony was going on most prosperously; but as the Proprietors would gather that from the Report, he would not further advert to the subject till it was read. The following Report was then read by the Se cretary:— _ _ " This Court of Proprietors having been specially convened for the purpose of considering a dividend, your Directors will confine their Report to the specific object of the meeting, reserving, as on former occasions, their general exposition of the affairs of the Company for the Annual Meeting in May. " I''or particular info rma ti on respect i ng the assets and liabilities of the Company, your Directors beg to refer you to statement C, appended to their Fifth Report, submitted to you in May last. In the 22d paragraph of that Report, directing your attention to the statement in questio n , y ou were appr i se d t h at the universal stagnation of enterprise, depressing most seriously every interest connected with the shipping, the commerce, the manufactures, and the general domestic industry of this country, and extending, with still more mischievous effects, to the Australian (`0- lonies, had restricted th ose sa l es o f l an d , front Clieh— apart from the progressive enha ncemen t of the value of your territorial possessions —the Annual income of the Company must be derived. the four months that have elapsed since th.t Fifth Report was laid before you, have produced, as you are wellof h aware, te no general improvem en t o f the condition o f great interests abo ve re f erred to; and it would be vain to expect that at a ti me w h en the active and .s industrious classes are struggling/ with unparalleled their attetiticat should be dire c t e d t owards colonial in yQstMetita or adventures with the same earnestness as is a period of nati ona l prosperity. I " n truth, the transactions of this Company are necessarily of such a nat ure as to render it v ery un likely that its r e t urns i n money should be steady and equable enough to admit of th e p a y men t o f a di v id en d unvarying in amount. Th e asse t s o f th e C ompany consist mainly of land. That land in a state of na ture, without population to reclaim and cultivate it, mid without capital to sustain that population whilst thus engaged, is utterly valueless. With increasing population and wealth, the value of the land m us t r i se in a rapidly increasing ratio. But it may so happen, that In any given half-year or even yea; the opera tions requisite to give such value may absorb a large part, or even the whole of the . price realised from the sale of land within that period. Yet, at the same tune, the value of the assets of the Company may have largely increased, and its prosperity be placed upon greatly extended and strengthened foundations. Having this view of your position and interests, your Directors are in no wise discouraged by a temporary diminution in the demand in this country for your land. It is not merely that this Company could not expect to enjoy a special exemption from the influence of general causes of depression, but that the amount of money realised from sales of land in any limited period is by no means the only—nor even the principal—standard, by which the position of the Company should be esti mated. Such sales, if pressed on at inadequat e prices, or made upon unsound principles, though they might create a short-lived semblance oishfa,tpirsosao-tf pros perity, and afford the temporary means of paying large dividends, would ultimately . be in the highest many or few, degree injurious imp otro.tayncoeur. tohe stthiesnteerieesttsere. the vast lealand. .pon that paramount whether, at any given time, sales be ya ue s o tls our measures should be steadily directed- t `tads which that object is the propertygr a n whichgrand b object., ti you uf possessenhancing ieN th e e w z the energy and judgment with n t pala must depend. pursued, the prosperity of the C om Of this, as well as that the sta for land is transitory, your Directors a ion in the demand entirely convinced, that they tions, during the half-year • have bee n so have spared no exec tid.pst cotelnded, to pour into Now Zealand that capitalists and laboiirors, which alone value can of. emigration, both of be given to your byP"'sessions.in those islands, and by almost indefinitely enha the continued 1 a 4 -I,Lux of which that value may . be with their efforts to this need.
