The Parliamentary evidence on the condition of Nova Scotia gives some curious details of the way in which the emigrants get on and acquire property, although they may begin the world without a penny. In the first place they go to a farmer and hire the use of a cow for 20s. ; that cow they get in the spring of the year in calf; they keep that cow through the summer, and they keep it the next winter, for the sake of the produce the cow will have, and then they pay the owner of the cow 205., and return him his cow in the ensuing spring in calf, as they got it. They begin with that calf which is in the cow for their stock ; that calf in time becomes a cow; and they hire a sheep and an ox in the same way ; the produce of the ox is the use that he is of in harrowing in the corn. But now they have got a stock of their own; they have now got sheep, and cows, and oxen, and they have got horses, and they are living in a great degree of comfort, the original twenty shillings, although agreed to be paid in mo ney, being generally taken by the farmer in labour. In the same manner the colony is enabled to provide for all the children of emigrants when they reach the age of five and upwards. Any farmer will take them as apprentices, according to the terms detailed in the evidence. As the army and navy resort to Halifax we have generally a very large portion of orphan children thrown upon the poor list ; and our mode of disposing of these children is, that at four to five years of age we put them out apprentices to farmers, unless they choose a trade ; if they choose a trade, of course they are bound to a trade: The stipulation that is made for those children with the person to whom catth child is bound is, that the first year he is to give that child a sheep, the second ) ear a heifer-calf; and as long as that child is under indentures to him he is bound to preserve and keep that sheep and heifer-calf, and all the produce of it, till the child comes of age, and then it becomes a portion for that child to settle with ; if a female, in marriage, or if a male, as farming stock. He will generally have a stock of five or ten head of grown up cattle and eight or ten sheep by that means. In fact, we never can supply half the number of chil dren that there is a demand for. BANKRUPTCY COURT, SEPT. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.) MESSRS. ALEXANDER AND CO. ' S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the fiat issued against the great East India agency and banking firm of Young, Bracken, Bolland, Sutherland, and Alexander, was held this afternoon for the further proof of debts, &c. The debts proved during the day were not nume rous, or for large amounts. Claims were, however, submitted for upwards of 30,000/. The Solicitor to the Commission stated that a claim had been made by Mr. T. Smith, of the Honourable East India Company's service, for the expenses he had been put to by the non-payment of a bill drawn in Canton, and circulated, hut which had been dishonoured by Alexander and Co. The bill had, in consequence, been sent back to China, and heavy costs had been incuired. He thought Mr. Smith had a clear right to wove for the legal expenses he had been put to in consequence of the bill having been dishonoured. A proof had been already made by Mr. Smith for 29,106 sicca rupees, and he never wished to prove for the expenses. There was some difficulty, however, in making out the sum, as it was reduced from sicca rupees into Spanish dollars, and then into pounds sterling. The COMMISSIONER said the best course would be to expunge the prior claim, and then Mr. Smith cou►d prove in pounds sterling. The proof of 3,0771. was then admitted. The amount of deb's proved during the day was about 13,8001, and the claims entered were nearly 40,000/. The debts proved against the estate up to the last meeting amounted to 4,697,060 sicca rupees, which, added to the proofs and claims made during this day, make a total of about 5,230,000 sicca rupees, or about 520,000/. Mr. Commissioner IiANE appointed the first audit of the accounts to take place on the 2d of February next. The further proceedings were then adjourned. A BANKRUPT OUTLAWED. A meeting of the creditors under the fiat of bank ruptcy issued against James Roberts and Frederick Woolfe, of Gravesend, cheesemongers, was also held before Mr. Commissioner FANE, for the pur pose of auditing the accounts. The bankrupt Roberts has decamped from his creditors, and there being a balance of 400/. defi cient in the accounts wholly unaccounted for, strong suspicions are entertained upon the subject. The bankrupts have claimants to the amount of • 1,8001., and at present the assets are not expected to realise more than 3s. in the pound. Woolfe joined Roberts in a solvent state a few months since, and has given every information in his power of the concerns of the firm ; but Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, stated that the accounts were in a most unsatisfactory condition, and too great a value had been placed upon the effects. A horse had been valued at 161., but he (Mr. Whitmore) had felt it necessary to sell him fur 71., to prevent the animal eating his head off.—(Laughter,) Mr. Commissioner FANE said he had made it a rule, when the accounts of a bankrupt were unsatis factory, to adjourn the final examination until the last audit . . He should not object to the bankrupt h av i ng five shillings a day when he was r e q u i re d by the official assignee in making out the accounts. The final examination was then adjourned, and the bankrupt (James Roberts) was proclaimed in the usual form. The Moniteur Beige contains an Ordon mince of King Leopold, by which the following Consuls are appointed : —At Margate, for that town and Whit stable, Mr. William Cobb, jun. ; at null, for that town and the ports of the Humber, Mr. Henry Morris ; at Cork, Mr. Henry Bury, in the room of Mr. J. J. Finn, deceased ; a t La Rochelle, for that town and its depend , encies, M. Romieux ; at Nice, M. Eustace Golan ; at Boston, Mr. A. Homer ; at Charleston, Mr Henry L e. fehvre ; at the Htvannah, M. Francis tie Coninek ; and . at Valparaiso, M. Hippolyte Serruys.

The handbill which has for some days past been in circulation in the parish of Bishopsgate, has pro bably prepared our readers for the contest which took place yesterday on this subject. At eleven o'clock, according to notice, the Vestry assembled, and the Rector, the Rev. Dr. RUSSELL, took the Chair. The meeting, which was held in the body of the church, amounted in number to about 300. The auditor's report was read, received, ap proved, and ordered to be printed, after some few remarks on the inutility of the churchwardens taking a journey to the parish estates at Bromley to collect the rents instead of leaving that task to the collector. The report from the trustees of the parish estates was then read and approved. Mr. BURTON (the church warden) said, that great complaints had for some time been made of the dirty condition of the church. He would at present simply move, " That it is expedient to whitewash and paint this church." Mr. ROGERS seconded the motion. Mr. JOHNSON had been requested to move, by way of amendment, the resolution which he held in his hand :—" That from the burdensome and op pressive amount of parish rates, it is quite inexpe dient that any thing fending to their increase should be countenanced by this Vestry—(Cheers)—and that the inhabitants this day declare that they will not give their consent that the Churchwardens, or any oilier person acting on their behalf, should em play workmen to perform the several items proposed to be done to the church and church-yard at the expense of the parishioners in general, because they consider that to levy a rate for such a purpose would be an act of injustice to the majority of the inhabi tanN."—( Loud cheers.) The great principle which they were there to contend for was, that they had a right to refuse their support to a religious establish ment from which they conscientiously dissented.— (Cheers.) This was the principle—let them for a few moments regard the circumstances of the case. About twelve years since that edifice cost them, in repairing and beautifying, no less a sum than 1,8001. Such was the state of the parish funds at that time, • that no less than 1,400/: was borrowed, which was still considered as a debt—an incubus on their in dustry, the interst of which they were compelled to pay. No less a sum than 3,0001. was shortly after expended upon a new rectory.house, and a new church-yard was thrown open—an extravagance which was quite unnecessary, since, up to the pre sent time, only two or three graves had been sold in it ; whilst it exhibited to the parishioners a sight at which humanity must shudder—that of a garden ap plied to the purpose of raising flowers and vegetables, and manured with the dead bodies of their friends and neighbours.—(Hear.) He would not dilate on the indelicacy of such an appropriation of sacred ground, but it was certainly to be wished that their feelings had been spared such an exhibition. He would ask his fellow-parishioners whether they were prepared to submit to this further imposition which was demanded of them? They were already called on to pay 2,500/. a year to their worthy rector—(Hear)—and when he said worthy rector, he meant what he said ; for he believed no man was more deserving of such an epithet. In addition to this, they had to pay the interest of the debt of 1,4001. contracted on account of the church; and they were now further called on to pay the expense of rep►►iring that place in which their friends of the' Church of England chose to worship. thher sects supported—aye, well and cheerfully too—their own pastors, and built and repaired their own places of worship ; and he called !hem now manfully to stand forward and break asunder the first link in the chain that bound them, or else consent to be shackled for ever.—(Cheers.) Mr. MARTIN seconded the amendment. Mr. ARTHUR CLARK thought the question was taken up in too serious a light and made of too much importance. If the parishioners thought the pro posed repairs unnecessary, they could refuse their consent, From the feeling exhibited, he could opinion, fraught with important consequences, not only to that parish, but to the Church of England itself.—(Hear.) The Dissenters bad here, for the first time, came forward to object to the church rate.—(No.) Yes, they had ; they had often grumbled in private, but they had never dared be fore to come openly forward.—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr. Johnson, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Burton, and Mr. Rogers, Mr. ST EELE said, as a member of the Church of England, he felt it his duly to call upon them to resist the amendment. If the members of that communion were left to pay the whole expenses of the church, it must fall.—(Hear.) The question was, were they to have any na tional establishment for theological education ? He considered that the preservation of such an establishment was of the first importance. Even Dissenters themselves would admit this; and he felt assured that those Dissenters around him, who had religion at their hearts, would be the first to water the funeral of the national establishment with their tears. Mr. BROWN—As to the amendment being in jurious to the Church of England, and as to its being an act of injustice to that church,he differed very much from the last speaker. The three hierarchies were spoken of, but no allusion had been made to that which was the foundation of them all, viz., the Christian religion. It was by this tenure alone they held sway. And what was Christianity before it was ever attached to civil government ? What was it from its commencement down to Constantine? How was it as it came from its Author ?—that Author declared that his kingdom was not of this world.— (Hear.) What were the wealth, the honours, the power, and the splendour of this world to Him ? Now the member of the church says, "My re ligion is the most powerful, wealthy, and pom pous in the world ;" but how was such a boast re concileable to the declaration of the foundersof Chris tianity, that his kingdom was not of this world ? For three centuries after its foundation did the Christian religion go on rapidly increasing and flourishing, not only unconnected with temporal power and honour, but in spite of all the opposition which power and influence could direct against it, in spite of all the persecutions of its disciples, and in spite of all the priestcraft and superstition of the Paganism which it overturned.—(Hear, hear.) Then came Constar:- tine, who united it with the temporal kingdom. What was the consequence ? It became corrupt the first century, more corrupt the second, still more corrupt the third, and so on till the 14th or 15th century, till its corruptions became so mon strous, that the people would no longer submit to them.—(Cheers.) Therefore all tie argument as to the necessity of supporting a church establish ment in order to support Christianity must fall to the ground if they took the whole truth into con sideration. So far from doing any injury to the church, it would prove its greatest blessing. Let it stand as other churches stood, on the word of God as its foundation. Let those support it who believed in its doctrines, and they would then go forth in their native strength and purity, unaccompanied by that prejudice which now prevailed against them throughout every class of society.—(Hear.) how often have the professors of the church establish ment been warned that these things would prove their downfall—how many authors of the first emi nence have written upon the subject They would not listen to reason—they shut their ears to convic tion, and yet they now come forward and express their surprise at the resolution which prevails, not merely in this church, but all over the kingdom, that church rates shall no mote be paid. What will be the consequences of this resolution? Why the churchman must either maintain his own church or suffer it to fall ; for mark, it is not the Dissenter that will pull it down—if it fall at all, it will be because the other lets it fall.—(Hear, hear.) If in the earlier period of Christianity, men encountering every opposition could not only maintain but propagate their reli gious sentiments, why should not the churchman be enabled now, with no such obstacles, to uphold his church ? If it could not stand on the support of those who belonged to it, he was justified in saying that it ought not to stand at all.—( Hear.) He believed, however, that by ceasing to be an esta blishment it would flourish more than at present, and its ministers could be better maintained. After some unimportant discussion, Mr. JonNsoN agreed to confine his amendment to the repairs of the church, as it was alleged those of the church yard stood on a different footing. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, in favour of which the hands of nearly all present were raised. On the contrary, about nine hands only were elevated. The amendment was then declared to be carried amidst great applause. Mr. ARTHUR CLARK then moved, ' 6 That the consideration of the churchyard railing should be referred to the 'Workhouse Committee, who should report to the Vestry before incurring any expense." Mr. DAvis hoped that this would also be rejected. The principle was the same as before.—(Hear.) Great expense would be incurred by such a vote, and he had known the railing to be in the same condition fur twenty years, and he did not see why it should mot wand twenty years longer. Other gentlemen also opposed the motion, which was lost by as overwhelming a majority as that by which the previous amendment was carried. This final victory was hailed with loud cheering, and the Vestry then proceeded to the election of au engine-keeper and other business of no public im lmtance. MINISTERS' STIPEND.—The issuing of diligences against the inhabitants for non .payment of the annuity tax, has been going briskly on this week, and another " jailfui" of recusanti are ready for the Calton march. We understand that, between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning, five men went to 57, George-street, 59, George-street, and 9, Lauriston-lane, and poinded goods for ministers' stipend from Alexander Cruickshank and Son to the amount of about 3001., which the poinders have very modestly valued under 501.— Scotsman. A MOUNTED ItIFLEMAN.—BtIt to judge of the militia, you should see those of the west and south. A regiment of mounted riflemen—men inured to all the fatigues and privations of the almost savage life of a first setlemunt, mounted each upon his favourite horse ; armed with his trusty carbine, to which, not seldom, he and his family have been indebted for a dinner in time of need—these are people who make a sport of all fatigue. To them a campaign is really a party of pleasure. They know the woods, can find their way by the suit and the bark of the trees, whether to track an enemy or a stag ; their dogs assist them here, for each bas a dog with him. They have no uniform ; every one comes as he is dressed for his daily labour, with some ' new extra covering spun and wove by his wile from, cotton planted by himself. A hat of twisted palm leaves protects his person, blackened by the smoke of this bivouac ; an otter skin, artfully folded and sewed, contains his ammunition, the means of kindling a fire, and his little stuck of tobacco ; a wallet behind his saddhe carries provisions for himself and his horse. The sal. coal himself is as little fastidious as the mastoe. A few handsful of maize per day suffice him ; but in the evening, on arriving at the camp, he is unsaddled, un bridled, and two of his legs fastened together : then be left in the woods, where grass in abundance very , •00 , 0, invites him to a frugal supper.
