Sir James Graham and Mr. Burnley had 'interviews yesterday with .Mr. Secretary Stanley, at the Colonial office. Count D'Aglie visited Prinf'2, Talleyrand yesterday. WINDSOR, APRIL 11. Lord and Lady Howden and Sir G. Seymour arrived at the Castle on Wednesday last. The Earl and Countess of Denbigh .also arrived on a visit to their Majesties. • The King took a drive in the Great Park yesterday afternoon, accompanied by the Countesses of Mayo and Denbigh, and Lady Howden. The Queen was out on horseback attended by the usual suite. Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by his tutor, the Rev. Mr. Wood, arrived at the Castle last night, and met with a most affectionate reception from his Royal uncle and aunt, who are much attached 'to him. His Royal Highness has been absent some months on a visit to his pFents at Hanover. Sir G. Seymour left the Castle this morning for town. The King and Queen drove out together this after noon in the direction of Winkfield. The Earl and Countess of Mayo, the Earl and Countess of Denbigh, and Lord and Lady Howden are expected to take ;heir departure to-morrow. It is said that theieMajesties will pay another visit to Kew on Monday nat. On Wednesday next, the 16th, their Majesties will leave the Castle for St. James's Palace, where they will continue to reside until — Friday, the 18th, when they are expected to return ti? the Castle. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 11. The Plymouth and Devonport Spring Races are fixed for the 14th to take place on Chelson Mea dow. Upwards of thirty subscribers are entered for the Lyneham Stakes ; some other matches of interest are likely to come off at the same time, and it is ex pected that the Spring Meeting will be the fullest yet experienced. The Tavistock Races will take place early in the ensuing month. The first Meeting for the season of the Members of the Royal Western Yacht Club was held at the Royal Hotel on Tuesday : several new members were enrolled. The Regatta, it is expected, will be fixed at the next meeting ; and, from the exertions that are making, a better attendance of yachts than on any former occa sion may be confidently anticipated. The Horticultural Exhibition and Fancy Bazaar are to be held on the same day, viz., the 22d of May, for both of which preparations on a grand scale are now in progress. The Brunswick steamer has com menced plying for the season, between this port and Portsmouth ; the Sir F. Drake is refitting to com plete the line of communication to Falmouth and the Isles of Guernsey and Jersey. The Irish. Liverpool, and London steamers are now also in regular inter course, and afford the easiest and most economical, as well as certain means of communication. No symptoms of the cholera having now for a considerable time ap peared in this district, it may confidently be expected, that the desire of strangers to visit this neighbour hood, which was formerly so strikingly exemplified, will, during the ensuing season, be generally indulged. Plymouth offers a thousand inducements to summer visitants—the natural beauties of its vicinity—the en chanting scenery of Mount Edgcumbe and Saltram, and the' colossal works of art exhibited in the national floating bulwarks, and which rest on the bosom of the waters in its port, are attractions which, however appreciated from description, require to be seen to afford all the delight which they are ca pable of bestowing. The depots of the 10th and 66th Regiments marched from Plymouth en route towards Exeter on Tuesday last. It was considered at Plymouth to have been , caused from the application of tne magistracy, as a measure of precaution against the effect of any ebulli tion of feeling consequent on the sentence which may be awarded to the trades'• unionists at the Exeter ses sions. Our corresßoydentstates that there is no ground ar where;-utith buf fevecOrptionCtlte erorts of the de legates have entirely failed. The, Surrey, hired ship, Charles Kemp Master, is lying in the Sound, waiting her despatches, which are to arrive to night, when she will proceed with 206 con victs to her destination. Amongst them are the six unionists convicted at the Dorchester assizes. She has on board two subalterns, a surgeon, and fifty rank and file. P. ra. —The despatches per Surrey are arrived, and she will proceed early in the morning—the wind at present is quite fair, and there is no doubt she will be off. There has been a rumour afloat that the Surrey was detained to wait the result of the trials at Exeter, in order, that if the event were a sentence of transpor tation, he men would be immediately transferred to her. Her departure, however, will prove the fallacy of such a report. FORGEWV.—Francis Garland, cabinet-maker, was fully committed by the Magistrates of Devonport on Wednesday last, to take his trial at the Exeter Assizes for forging two bills of exchange, one for 15/. 10s., and the other for 241. is., both discounted at the Joint Stock Bank. These bills were filled up in the hand writing of Garland's apprentice, Stephen Jose. The names attached are fictitious, and clearly proved to have been perpetrated by Garland. There is a charge against the same individual in another Court, for al tering a 51. bill to 151. The inquiry which led to the committal created a great sensation at Devonport. Garland was apprehended in Wales, by Halse, an ac tive officer of the Devonport police. IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL MEET ING AT STRATFORD-UPON-AVON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9. At a very numerous and highly respectable meeting, held this day at the Town Hall, to adopt measures to remove the embarrassments that oppress the agricul tural and trading interests, Sir Gray Skipwith, Bart., M.P., in the chair, the following resolutions were agreed to :- Ist. That whilst the manufacturing interest and in habitants of large towns have received an accession of strength and influence in the councils of this nation, and are urging their claims to a remission of taxation, and uniting themselves in formidable array and increas ing numbers against the present protection the corn bill affords to the British farmer, infringed, as we be lieve it to be, by the introduction of large - tinintities of "American corn and flohiihrough Canada, is Colonial produce, and at a nominal duty, and the advantage they would have over the agriculturists, were the corn laws repealed, by the exclusion of many articles of foreign manufacture, in consequence of heavy duties, which amount in many instances to a prohibition, and it having been admitted, by the recent Report of the Committee appointed for the Inv es ti ga t ion o f th e State of Agriculture, " that the amount of capital employed therein has generally diminished, and conse kquinegndm ; tleyeu"ltivation has det er i ora t e d thr oug h ou t t h e and b e li ev i ng, as we do, that it will be impossibl e to uphold much longer that system of cul tivation from which a frugallone the propriet o r can l oo k f or rent, the fa rmer f or a ifto is his necessary daily bread,to the and the e competency, th e l a b ourer the tradesman for his support, seewi agriculturi s t s an d f or the protection of tradesmen,' e thati embarrassments and theyshould a te theunit e a n d form themselves into societies, submitaned con sideration of Parliament the m grievances under which they labour , relief fromthe burdens which oppress. an d pray f or 2. That the maintenance of the poor, the repair of the highways and the county rate, are great burdens. That though we do not object to contributing to the relief of the poor, we conceive some mode should be of the manu, that th e adopted faetur er t w o h i c a h n emightqnal degreesubject t ohfe gainstaxation, farmers should have some relief from the laws relating to the repair of roads, and that the county rate ought to be more equally borne. 3. That the malt tax, though not exclusively borne by the cultivators of the soil, presses upon us with peculiar severity ; that its operation diminishes the ge neral consumption of barley, the cultivation of which is considered essential to good husbandry ; that the quan tity ofbeer consumed hyfarm ors and their labowera neces7 sary for their support, in undergoing the labour of the town, is very great, and one of the heaviest charges on the cultivation of land; and that the total repeal of the malt tax, by inducing the lower classes to brew at home, would contribute to the health, comfort, and morality, of the population of the country, whilst it would materially relieve the agricultural interest. 4. That it is the opinion of this meeting that, un less the burdens on the people are reduced, in pro portion to the contraction of the circulating medium, which has of late years been effected, the agricultural class must inevitably be ruined. 5. That a petition, praying for the repeal of the malt tax, and relief from the other grievances stated in the foregoing resolutions, be presented to each house of Parliament. _ These resolutions and a petition to both Houses of Parliament s having been signed, thanks were voted to Sir Gray •Skipwith for presiding, and also a request that he would present the petition to the House of Commons. _. . • • - ----- SiT.,GRAY SKIPWITH, in acknowledging the honour conferred upon him, said he should have great pleasure in consenting to their wish, but after having so re cently voted against the repeal of the malt tax, his conduct might be thought inconsistent. He had acted from conscientious motives, because it was next to im possible for iris Majesty's Ministers to do it without violating faith with the public creditors, and that he never would consent to:.- The Government were doing all in their power to alliate the public burdens, but it was not to be expected' every thing could be done at once. If time was given them he-felt confident such measures would be adopted as would satisfy the public. Sir Gray sat down amid great cheering, and the meet ing soon after. separated. '77 77,, SPAIN. BAYONNE, APRIL 5. —lforward you the annexed Carlist document : " ARMY OF THE KING OUR LORD DON CARLOS V. IN NAVARRE. " BULLETIN OF APRIL 1, 1834. " The most Excellent Junta Gobernativa of this kingdom has received the following official report from the General-in-Chief : "Excellency,—For the last'sixsd.a.ys I have been in the presence of -the forces,9f the rebel Lorenzo, with the first brigaile — iiroiff army.: Already, on three different occasions, that proud Corypheus has avoided the battle I offered him by remaining within his lines. The same .thing would have occurred to-day,. as I could perceive from the position of Eraul, where I awaited him for the fourth time, had. I not been aware of his intention to repair to Estella, where he expected to enjoy some repose under the protection of its ramparts, and determined on acting upon the offensive. When the order to march was given to some of our companies, a general cry of " Long live the King I" was set tip through the camp, and the detachment spiritedly prceeded to the ground I assigned them. The battle cmenced at the vil lage of Mara, and during six hours that strong posi tion was attacked and defended with the utmost ob stinacy ; but at last the arms of the King our Lord, visibly protected by the God of Armies, drove the enemy from their intrenchments with unparalleled ar dour, put them to flight, and pursued them and the garrison of Estella, that had marched out to re lieve them, to the very gates of that town. In their flight they abandoned a quantity of arms and waggons, which fell into our hands, as well as a number of prisoners and horses. The loss of the enemy in killed, from a view I took of the field of battle, must have been considerable • it was, more over, strewed with their wounded. Zmong the former are a Commander and several other officers. On our side we have to regret the loss of Don Martin Eguaras, Lieutenant of the 3d battalion, and four sol diers ; our wounded do not exceed 24, none of whom are in danger of their life. Any praise I bestowed on the courage of the Navarrese would'not add to the high estimation in which they are held through Eu rope, for their heroism and constancy is every where proverbial; I shall only observe that the first battalion of Alava, commanded by its worthy chief Don Bruns villareal, rivalled in bravery that of Navarre. I have to forward to your Excellency this incomplete sketch, and shall supply you with more ample details, as soon as possible. " God keep your Excellency. " THOMAS ZUMALACARREGUI. " Head-quarters of Arcona, March 29, 1834." " People of Navarre and Alava, and you, brave Carlists, who partake of the glory of defending the best of Kings, commemorate with a just enthusiasm so fortunate an event, whilst our enemies, a prey to the rage that corrodes their heart, know not whither to fly in order to conceal their shame. Contemplate them on that field of military glory, running away with their proud " chief, and saving themselves from the deadly -bierea , the ,Ls legitimadt, and-you will let skill and experience of Lorenzo, worsted by those very men whom he disdainfully called the fugitives from the battleof Asarta. You will pronounce it an additional chastisement inflicted on the tyrant now commanding the troops styled the ' Army of the North,' for this is the second fatal check his guilty projects has received within a few days. The infamous orders he has issued against the respectable and peaceable country priest and the physician who repairs to discharge a duty of charity, are worthy of the anarchist now in Navarre, the object of public execration, and who has covered himself with a degree of opprobrium far exceeding that incurred by his predecessors." THE NEW MARKET in the BOROUGH of SOUTHWARK. (From a Correspondent.) A Morning Paper of Wednesday contained a statement giving a most partial account of a vestry meeting of St. Saviour's, with observations of an in correct and abusive nature against the proposed new market in the parish of St. George the Martyr, and its projectors. _ It is, however, a well knowif fact that hardly any great and beneficial improvement has ever been un dertaken without some petty or unreasonable oppo sition from private interests, and as nothing can show the weakness of a cause more than gross and uncalled for personalities, the few interested enemies of the new market have riot been sparing in attacks of this nature—attacks which can only be regarded in the same contemptable light with the miserable source from whence they have emanated ; but in order that the many kind supporters of the new undertaking and the public should not be misled, it may not be unnecessary to state the following par ticulars : " The proposed South London Market and Abat toirs, are intended to be erected on several acres, com prising the site of St. George's Market and adjoining property, London Road, Southwark. " It is situated between the Obelisk and the Ele phant and Castle, at which places the six great roads from the bridges meet ; and diverge to the Southern counties ; being in the centre of South London, within three quarters of a mile of the three bridges,— only on© mile, and three furlongs from Smithfield Cattle Market,—within the triangle formed by the London; Borough, Newington-causeway, and South, wark Bridge-roads ; along which pass, on their way to North London, the immense supplies of fruit, vege tables, and cattle, from the fertile counties of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and part of Hants. The approaches to it are numerous, the adjacent noble roads of the extaordinary width of from 60 to 100 feet, afford a free atmospheric circulation. A very deep extensive and ample drainage at great cost, has recently been constructed ; wells of excellent spring water are upon the estate, which is likewise abundantly supplied by the Lambeth Water Works Company. An additional reason for selecting South London as the best position for a great Market and Abattoir is the extraordinary fact, that, whilst upwards of fourteen markets supply the inhabitants of the metropolis " north" of the Thames, there should be but one, to the " south," viz., St. Saviour's Market, comprising 3 roods 11 including cart and pitching stands, and the site of 14 dwelling houses thus occupied : two public houses, one painter and glazier, one tripeman, two butchers, two cheesemongers, one egg dealer, and five fruit salesmen, without one poulterer or fishmongor, and has so little accommodation for trade, that it can hardly be called a market. The boundary streets, in cluding footpaths, are from 20 to 26 feet in width, and consequently totally inadequate to the reception of St. dlte Saviour,abv eo Parliament , luorneg to t ho o obs habpei suppress r i et n edhs h es a B b aac o i bn t uy a y n se eo t a inhabitants of ofefs other the an incc elmarket market gardeners. r s u k m h s e ca a tv l f t At d t that period exc e exceed 4 1 5 7 ,6040)0, personsth the u; nowa ti o population thousandso of South of en il e i n n p hitherto aa s rni o s u hA th co w L ar on k don of houses cover the theli extensive fields, which are in habited by upwards of 420,000 souls, and it only requires to glance at a map of London, to see the absurdity of sup posing this small market, situated at the foot of London Bridge, capable of supplying this vast increase of po pulation, and the injustice of endeavouring to prevent the inhabitants of so great a part of the metropolis, from the convenience and advantage which the esta blishment of the proposed new market, on account of its central situation and capacious scale would afford them. It is therefore much to be regretted that the Cor poration of St. Saviour's should singly oppose an un dertaking calculated to supply cheap and good food to I an immense population—to increase the architectural splendour of South London—to meet the recommen dation of a select committee of the House of Com mons in 1828, relative to the erection of abattoirs, and I to abate, if not to annihilate the very nuisances which the St. Saviour's Market in 1754-6 was established to effect, but which it has never effected, as will appear from the following extract from Concanon's and Mor gan's History and Antiquities of St. Saviour's, pub lished in 1796: "te cannot omit here observing, that though the mark t is removed from the High-street, yet the nui sance;in a great measure remains almost we might say, under the toleration of the last mentioned act of Par liament. Why it should be so against the public good we cannot guess. It is every day more offensive, and on cattle market days, dangerous to the passengers and injurious to the opposite shopkeepers." Eighty years have now elapsed, and the Borough Market does not appear to occupy all the ground set out by the Parliamentary commissioners of 1754-6." Notwithstanding this and the other facts above men tioned, the trustees have 'the assurance to state that this small concern is a commodious market, and pre sumptuously fancy that they can supply the whole of South London ! the fallacy of which must be apparent to every one having any knowledge of the borough of Southwark.. . As for the vast sums which they state to have been expended, and the benefit derived by the poor, it will be found on strict examination, to be equally fallacious. The prospectus and plans of the South London Mitrket have received the cordial sanction of the owners of several thousand adjoining houses. The Lord Lieu teiant of Surrey and i other great landowners of the southern countieo are its patrons—the- churchwardens, overseers, and inhabitants of St. George the Martyr fretitiqned Parliament for its establishment—and the Corpo)•ation of London' refused to comply with a peti tion from the trustees of the borough, or rather St. Saviour's, rnarket, - praying them to oppose the under taking. The t petition for the bill which has been read a se cond time, is signed by gentlemen of the highest re spectability resident pouth of the Thames, among whomgare thirteen magistrates of the county, from a thorough conviction of the necessity which calls for the erection of a central commodious market, as the best means of promoting the health, comfort, and con venience of the vast population of South London. Since writing the above, the morning paper alluded to has given a rather fair explanation about the ob noxious article. '1 - - - UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

We recommend to public attention an ex tremely interesting, enlightened, and kind-hearted pamphlet, entitled " The Case of the Poles now at Portsmouth." Both the narrative into which it enters, and the reflections in which it . indulges, are distinguished by a humane and generous spirit—which sympathises with patri otism in distress as cordially as it spurns oppres sion—and which, by its earnestness and a happy use of sacred language, exalts our admiration of liberty and political virtue into a kind of reli gious feeling. In almost every one of the au thor's humane reflections we can join, except where he alludes in too flattering terms to our own exertions in the Polish cause. The object of the pamphlet is to draw atten tion to the case of the unhappy Polish exiles who were lately driven into Portsmouth by stress of weather on board a Prussian vessel chartered to transport them to America. It will be re collected that a Prussian vessel filled with exiles from the same unfortunate country was driven, nearly about the same time, into Harwich, and another into Havre de Grace, on the French coast. The Poles on board the ship which reached Harwich accepted service in the Fo reign Legion of France, and are now probably at Algiers fighting against the Arabs. Those who were on board the vessel which was driven into Portsmouth refused such a service, as they had a light to do, and likewise, declined the Prussian . boon of transportation to America; they are consequently still at Portsmouth. The author enters into very interesting de tails_ on the I and treatment = the present necessities and future prospects—of the latter ;, and pleads their cause both with the British government and the British public. His nar rative is preceded and followed by reflections on . the recent conduct of Russia, and her despotic allies, towards Poland—the rights and obliga tions of the parties to the treaty of Vienna as regards that persecuted country—and the duties of the British government or people towards those Polish exiles who have been accidentally driven like a wreck upon our shores. We are sorry that we have only room for the following historical narrative of their landing and treat ment 4 , Before the facts which regard the Poles since their arrival at Portsmouth are adverted to, it may be as well to state generally how they, or others of their countrymen, were treated when in Prussia, and under what circumstances the Poles now here l e ft that country. They, with others their com rades, escaped thither for a refuge, after the fortunes of war had turned against them. Such, indeed, is the law of brute force, unequal numbers may ulti mately overcome superior principle when it is obliged to fight with physical weapons. At first it was at tempted to drive them baCk into Poland. In pur suance of this plan, the Polish soldiers were ordered to cross the frontieis into their own territory. They well knew that to be once there again would be to take the first step to the snows and the cruelties of Siberia. They refused ; the Prussians resorted to force ; and a great number of the Poles were killed or wound e d i n th e at t empt to drive theminto their own country ! Those who remained resolved to die on the threshold of Po land... Tyranny quailed at - the sublime decision of such cool and heroic fortitude. - it drew - back at the daring 74 . men who could die in the 'sight of their ruined.country, but who could not live in willing slavery. - Prussia m, but as rebels. They laboured along with con‘ - ict.s4 criminals on the public works. At the COLgi'CS: Mmichengratz, however_, it was decided that etten4As siould again be made to get them out of Prussia. They were then, fbr this purpose, treated with. Pretty reci procity for a contract! As a choice of alternatives, the one being nominally reception in Poland, but really, in their opinion, banishment to Siberia, or a fate no better, and the other a passage to America —thousands of mileS from their homes and from EU rope--they naturally adopted the latter. But Heaven interposes ! One ship is driven to Havre ; and the generous French, in spite of the' authorities, would receive the unfortunate Poles ; another is taken into Harwich ; and a third to Portsmouth. " Of the latter band, consisting of 212, including two officers, the writer now more particulary speaks. " Immediately on their arrival in a port of Eng land, they resolved, if possible, to be free. Where is the Englishman who will blame them for making the noble resolve, justly complimentary as it is to our beloved country ? They protested in writing against the extorted arrangements, which were made in a state which they considered as duress. Ame rica iS a fine and happy land.; but it is on the other side of the World. Were they to blame that they clung, with tenacity, at least to Europe ? In this refusal, howeVer, to go across the At lantic, they acted upon the dictates of their own judgment and policy as Poles. They neither did consult, nor were counselled hi that, by English men at Portsmouth.- The contrary winds were most-extraordinarily prolonged—another remarkable circumstance in the strange. eventful history' of this little patriot hand. They availed themselves of the neessary delay to make a formal application to the French Governnieht to - be rec6ved into France along with their compatriots already in that coun try. Before any answer had been.received to this request the wind changed. The Prussian captain of the vessel must perform his, mercantile contract —at least so said the J.ondon agents, who 'came down to Portsmouth to insist upon the punctual performance of.his engagement. It is not intended to blame him under all circumstances for an act which he considered to be done in discharge of his duty ; his conduct, perhaps, was natural enough. But the poor Poles had their duty, which was of a more exalted and moral character, to perform as well. 'Without positive or offensively aggressive violence, they, by passive force, resisted the attempt to transport them, against their will, thousands of miles from Europe. What Briton, under similar circumstances, would not have done likewise ?" " The people of Portsmouth and Portsea, to their great honour; finding that they had the brave but unfortunate soldiers of Poland with them, were immediately alive to their duty, and to their charac ter as Englishmen. Without•any particular encou ragement-from the authorities, the people of Ports mouth and Portsea, by their own subscriptions, assisted by those of other benevolent individuals in the neighbourhood and elsewhere, have hitherto supported these interesting exiles. Not the rich and the great alone have contributed, but perhaps many a hard-carried shilling has been drdpped into the subscription-boxes by the artisan or labourer, with has joyfully offered his honest mite —a deed worthy of his character, but tihknown to fame. The very children at the schools-have put to shame others who, though older, may be less informed or more apathetic. It is to be hoped the corporation of Portsmouth, long known as an uncorrupt body of liberal politicians, will, when the entire list of subscribers shall be published, be found at the head of it, both in respect of time and amount ; thus being, as a corporation with public funds ought to be, leaders, and not fol lowers, of their fellow-townsmen in every thing that is good and public-spirited. The representatives of the borough have honoured themselves by subscrib ing. The officers and others of our brave army now in the garrison, without in the slightest degree having committed themselves imprudently to aught i'Y but acts, of soldierly humanity, .. have treated the .illei:artdAliett7ZlEeefiliitt 11RapilitAiri,t1n2ss; , elicacy, and propriety. Ureic lia.'s; t ni fact„speak- . ing generally,- been a cordial sympathy expressed towards them by all classes. " In the mean_ time; the Poles at Portsmouth having applied formally to the French Government to be received into France with their compatriots already there, instead of their receiving ally direct answer" to their specific application through the channel in which they expected it, a correspondence was opened with them, evidently proceeding on the assumption, which was incorrect, that the Poles at Portsmouth had applied to be received into the ser vice of the foreign legion of France, or, in other words, to go to Algiers. If those at Harwich had done so,it was not the case with those atPortsmouth; still, over and over again,against their: ssertions to the contrary as to the nature of their application,they were asked if they persisted in their intention to enter the Foreign Legion of France. This made them fear that intrigue was going on, or something not sufficiently direct and ingenuous, or something mar vellously erroneous. Is it any wonder that they did not decide to go ? Subsequently, being in corre spondence with persons of their own nation, whom they considered entitled to offer counsel, they were advised' not to throw away their lives among the Arabs by going to Algiers—not, at any rate, until the Government, and after them the people, of France and England, had previously pronounced the stern decree for their departure from the shores of Europe." EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES OR VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, Downing-street, April 6, 1834. Numerous applications have been received from per sons desirous of emigrating to New South \Vales or Van Diemen's Land, who, after stating their inability to defray the whole charge of their conveyance, solicit aid for that purpose, on condition of repaying the same out of their earnings in the colony where they propose to settle. His Majesty's Government has sanctioned the appropriation of a limited sum out of the colonial revenues of New South \Vales and Van Diemen's Land, to assist the private funds of such emigrants as may appear likely to earn the means of repaying that aid, and to become useful settlers. The following arc the regulations tiiider which this indul gence will be dispensed : No advance will be made except to young and mar ried agricultural labourers, who intend taking their wives and families with them ; and a strict inquiry will be instituted into their chdiecter and habits of industry, before the assistance they solicit will be granted to them. - No one family will be allowed an advance exceeding, 2b/. ; and it will be useless therefore for parties, who may not possess the remainder of the sum requisite for defraying the expense of their passage, to apply for their assistance. Every person desirous of receiving the proposed ad vance must fill up, and send back to the Under Secre tary of State for the Colonial Department, the Return hereto annexed. If the information contained in this return, and the answers to the inquiries which may be addressed to the parties who certify the correctness of the return, shall be considered satisfactory, the ap plicant will receive notice to that effect. He ma/, then proceed to make his agreement with the owners or masters of ships proceeding to New South Wales or Van Diemen's Land, and z! ‘ s soon as any ship-owner or master shall notify (in a form which will be provided for that pqrpose) that the emigrant has taken the other necessary steps for engaging his,passsge, an order will he granted for the payment, in the colony, of 20/. to the agent or master of the vessel in which this emi grant may arrive. The emigrant will of course be able to obtain a corresponding deduction from the amount to be paid by himself in this country. The order for payment will• be intrusted •to the master of the vessel in-which the emigrant. is - about to proceed and will consist of a sealed despatch to the governor, containing the name and description of th e party on whose account the money is to be paid, an d enclosing a promissory note, which he will b e requ i red to sign in acknowledgment of his debt, w hi c h note must be witnessed by the captain 4 pa Oli.A.ef mate o f th e vessel. But arrangemeao will be made, by which the 'yment of this order :yin 1:,.t 11 , : 117 , 1 1; cs9'ony, until the captain shall t rroduced the parties, on whose accolint it is to be made, before the officer ap pointed for that purpose ; and they shall have entered into a fresh obligation for the re -payment of the ad vance made to them. For it is the intention of his Majesty's Government, and-cannot be too clearly un derstood by all persons who may accept this loan, that repayment of the debt (in such proportions, and at such intervals, as may not be unsuitable to the circum stances of each emigrant) shall be strictly enforced, by means of the ample powers which the laws of the co lony render available for that purpose. Government agents for emigration have been ap pointed at Liverpool, Bristol, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Belfast, and Greenock ; who have been instructed to afford gratuitous information to all persons applying to them, as to the best means of carrying their schemes of eMigration into effect. Parties, therefore, who may reside in the neighbourhood of these agents, are re quested to apply to them 'either personally (or if by letter post paid), for information on this subject. All .applications for the assistance of government, must be made by letter only, addressed to H. W. Hay, :Ossq., Under Secretary of State, London ; and should the number of applications be greater than the funds at their disposal will enable them to comply with, priority of date will form the rule of selection among applications in which there shall appear no other ground of distinction.

Their union has increased lately so largely, that at one lodge, in the neighbourhood of Carnaby market, 215 new members were enrolled on Monday evening last. At one of the recent funerals, 52/. some odd shillings were subscribed, in pence and halfpence, by the Trades' Unionists for the deceased:s widow and family.

The bait was a roach, and the tackle was of a peculiar description, purchased at the shop of Mr. Etches, in Hockley.—Nottingham Review. THE CIEURCH AGAIN.----On Sunday week, at a church within ten miles of the town of Notting.. ham, a very ludicrous and singular affair took place. As is usual on Easter Sunday, a respectable congre gation had assembled after service, for the purpose of receiving the divine sacrament ; the sacred form was duly administered by the priest—the money gathered —the paupers of the parish in all anxiety, were wait ing for the bountiful distribution of the gift ; but, alas i the money was not forthcoming. The bustle this ex traordinary circumstance occasioned was great ; the people called upon the clerk—the clerk upon the par son, but the worthy member of the cloth was out of hearing; he had skipped off with the cash unobserved, much to the annoyance of the parishioners. It is needless to add, the clergyman was sent for back, who much chagrined, re-produced the money, at the same time remarking, " he knew not but it was the property of the priest !"—Nottingham Review. A MANY-TOED AND FINGERED FAMILY. —Meckel, in his Pathological Anatomy, has collected several instances in which the presence of supernume rary fingers and toes was heriditary in certain families.. To these the following may be added:—" Thomas Copsey, a man of 19, at present a patient in the Mid dlesex hospital, under Mr. Arnott's care, has thirteen toes, and states that he had originally fourteen fingers. He has seven toes on the left foot, and six on the right.. Each of these toes has the natural number of bones (phalanges) and is provided with distinct tendons. With the exception of the fifth toe, all the others are adherent (united closely to each other by integument). There are but five metatarsal bones. In each foot there may be said to be two great toes, which are arti culated with the first metatarsal bone, and in the left foot two toes are articulated with the fifth metatarsal. On the outside of the first phalanx of the little finger, close to its proximal extremity, is an elevated cicatrix., a tubercle, indicating the situation from whence twz, fingers were cut in his infancy ; the middle and ring finger are adherent through their whole length in t a.:11 hand. Thomas Copsey has five brothers and four sis ters, in all of whom, with the exception of One sister, there are six toes on each foot, and a sixth finger was removed in their infancy. The other sister has seven toes on one foot and six on the other, and had two fin gers removed from each hand. His mother has the same number of toes, and had the same number of fin gers as himself and sister last alluded to. The same is the case with his only maternal uncle (who has no family) and was the case with his maternal grandfa ther."—Medical Gazette. NEW HARBOUR AT EDINBURGIT.— Messrs. Grainger and Miller, and Mr. Gibb, of Abel-- deen, the eminent engineers, have drawn up a report for the formation of a harbour and dock in Trinity Bay, on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. The works will consist of a wet dock containing 43 acres, affording inner wharfage to the extent of 12,000 feet. This dock will be entered by a lock 200 feet in outer with feet wide, where there length and Aii in width. The entrance will be pro ing3o;lace for the accommoda tion by a breakwater parallel to the channel of the Firth, 1,100 feet long, foluded in 11 feet water at low twoebb of a o s c p k rin p g iors tid b e it , irdonwhariechh,osa,t willthe same seeur e tim an e, D lo O vv O k w e at t e l r on la g nd b tion of the steam vessel trade of the Firth.
