PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. Your Committee have delayed making any Report of their pro ceedings, until they could lay before you sufficient information to enable you, not only to form a correct opinion of the merits of your sown line, but to understand the various schemes more or less con. tested with it, for which Parliamentary notices have been given. The number of these schemes, and their complex bearing on the int erests of your u n d er t a ki ng, render it necessary to preface this ePort by some general observations. The four existing railways of greatest importance in Scotland, in re l l Ptet of len g th , C apital, and traffic, are—the Edinburgh and ct i , all gour Railway, connecti ng t h e two l arg est cities in Scotland, as t "," as the tw o seas; the North British Railway, f orm i ng p ar t o f great trunk line from Edinburgh to London, by way of Berwick, Newcastle, and York ; the Glasgow and Greenock Railway, an im. Portant link in the communication between the manufacturing and I.. hifcli ne loans o f th e wes t o f Scot l an d ; and the Glasgow, Paisley, •mirnarnock, and Ayr Railway, connecting the western metropolis (4 ' Scotland with one of the most thriving mineral and manufac turing districts i n t hi s country, i nc l u ding the seaports of Ayr, ,1 \-°° o. Irvine, and Ardrossan, from the latter of which there is a it, inlar steam-boat communication with the North of Ireland—a ter'waY destin e d , b y means of your pro j ec t e d li ne f rom it s so uthern , era onus at Kilmarnock to Dumfries and Carlisle, to become the high -road between the north and west of England, and the t equally important district known under the general name of the'is vest of Scotland." The only link awanting to complete the entire !to ' r cl e oil railways leading down the east coast of England and Scotland . ort ". , t In burgh, acro ss t o Gl asgow, an d up th e wes t c oast of Scotland eltlan,d, back to London, is from the terminus of the Edin. 2 t a rid Glasgow Railway in Glasgow to the joint terminus of the nonGk and Ayrshire Railways in the same city. Parliamentary e " have bean given for this short line, which is not above half 4 ta • fiattest—ele Pam Ile in length, and which will pa-s, partly in tunnelling, and Y MI arches, through a portion of the city. 4 d, as : t : t,han existing and projected railways, which intersect the might be expected, the richest and most populous aR l ets both .of England and Scotland, almost the whole of the tot Ural, manufacturing, mining, mercantile, and shipping in "" of Great .Britain will be connected, and a direct, rapid, and notnical means of transit secured. The accompanying map will ,sz• inore distinctly the c ourse o f these great leading lines. There s r ,, -11h, remain, so far as Scotland is concerned, only one line of e una ccommodated, Vie., between Edinburgh and the north_ of • t . °f Scotland and Lancashire. It is true, the existing amount ?ntercou rst . between these districts is as yet lim i te d , b ut st ill , i n l a , 3 '.' h g out the tines of communication between the two countries, is essential to keep it in view ; and it fortunately happens, that tario j 2 ,,, schemes promoted for local objects, and for which fro - ' n 'ary notices have been given, there is one, viz. , a l i ne n i ' l3l nburgh t o H aw i c k , w hi c h, if extended to Carlisle, will verroz..i,tiarcta.,.uevoentt on this cross traffic the full benefit of railway corn . at the expense of a ' very small additional outlay of the T° explain this, your Committee again request your attention to drawn nearly due north from Birmingham, Lancaster, or lubhilai:icelr:anuYing map. From it you will observe that a straight uld pass through or close to Ilawick, Edinburgh, and d" ' fr mri which last point, by a slight deviation eastward, it tuld reach Aberdeen. Now, it so happens that this straight line ° MY passes through the most practicable country for a rail. t."baY between its north and south termini, but opens up by much coos, and thriving of those districts in the south and t Scotland, to which the great trunk lines would not them • tnentary n a: r i._ he li°r thern nurtion of the line of communication thus described .

POfar, Y collateral advantages might be pointed out as resulting la th e abo ve arrangement, but these will be more properly ex. Jn t ried when di scussing the erits of your line in detail. • p üblic sh., Point of vie w , your C ommi tt ee regard it as one of trios t mporta nt characteristics of the scheme now explained, that alth ea,'gh in itself more complete than any other, it can be ' eff ected i'ty a comparatively small expenditure of capital beyond what is r, squired for those new lines of railway, which are about to be cons luct,.d solely for the accommodation of existing local tra ffic. Th is sta,'ement requires a little explanation. It has beer mentioned that it is intended to form a railway from Edinburgh to Hawick. The line has been planned, and is under taken by the North British Railway Company. The object is to extend the Dalkeith Railway, now belonging to that Company (which is at any rate to be improved and adapted for locomotives), to the thriving manufacturing towns of Galashiels, Selkirk, and liawick, situated in the midst of the best wool-growing and wool-manufacturing district in Scotland. On the other side of the Island, the Ayrshire Railway Company have intimated their inter. two (without meaning to interfere with your undertaking) to execute their long -projected scheme of a Branch Railway to Cum. stock, for the purpose of bringing into their line the passenger traffic from that dist r i c t , and of opening up the large mineral fields of the tt arquis of Bute, Sir James Boswell, and Lord George Bentinek, I which the celebrated blaekband ironstone has been distinctly • trtained to exist ; and where extensive additional iron-works are alp, out, it is believed, to be erected under leases recently entered into. r t , uch being the case, the wholelength of new railway will require to. be made for the purpose of completing the two trunk lines from Ettinbs, nrgh to Carlisle, via Hawick, and from Glasgow to Carlisle, via Dun, 'fries, will be— Hawick to the Dumfries line, near Carlisle say S 5 miles. c u ,„„C: to Carlisle Making in all The capital twired for which may be roughly estimated at 12,000/. per mile; or 1,296,000/, Your Committee at. e so satisfied of the capabilities of the line between Hawick and Car/i„ l e, and of its importance to you, not only as a part of the general p:,an to be submitted to Parliament, but as a branch and feeder to your line, that, with the unanimous concurrence of a meeting of your extraordinary Committee of Management, they have undertaken to the Board of Trade, to apply to Parliament in asubsequent session for pos,,•er to make it, in the eve nt of the general scheme of internation4 1 communication ribo se -mentioned being adopted. A nother most important characteristic of the scheme Pow de scribed is, that it interferes in no way with the interests of any existing line of railway, but furnishes new feeders both to the four \ ) ) ( 'W".

Scotch lines of railway referred to at the outset, and to all the English railways with which theprcjected lines are to be connected. Your Committee, however, would not be discharging their duty were they net, in the next place, shortly to call your attention to the origin and history of another plan, which is about to be brought into Parliament under the name of the Caledonian Railway, and to contrast the public and private advantages it holds out with those which may be obtained by the scheme already described. It will probably he known to all of you that the Royal Commis sioners, Sir Frederick Smith and Professor Barlow—who were appointed in 1840 to report on the projected railways between Eng. land and Scotland—proceeding upon the assumption that only one would be made, expressed a preference for a line passing over the high ground which occupies the centre of Scotland. In doing so, however, the Commissioners carefully reserved the question which of the various routes *tight to be preferred, in the event of its being found practicable to make two or more tines. The following are their words :—" Were this otherwise (viz., were more than one line to be made), we should subdivide the question into two branches, and consider, in the first instance, which of the several lilies would be the most suitable for a communication by Lancaster to Glasgow, as well as to the West of Scotland and to the North of keland, and which would be the best route by Newcastle to Edinburgh." The line thus preferred by the Commissioners, " under the supposition that at present one line of railway only can be formed from the South to Edinburgh and Glasgow," recommended itself to them chiefly in consequence of its having two forks or branches at its northern extremity, the one terminating in Edinburgh, and the other in Glasgow; but the barren character of the country through which it would run, and probably some consideration of the extra expense of working it, arising from the steep gradients rendered necessary by its summit of 1,000 feet, induced the Commissioners to record their opinion that " it was hardly to be expected that such a line would command much support as an investment from the _general speculator ;" and to add, that, " unless theßrinciNl landed_ proprietors along the line should feel dispos'en; give the tinder= taking their hearty support, rather with a view to the increased value it would give to their property, than to a large remunerating dividend, there seems considerable doubt whether it will ever be constructed." OH the other hand, with reference to the general prospect of traffic on your own line, the following passage in the Report of I Mr. Locke, in 1836, may be Interesting to you :—" Of the advan tage to all the towns in Scotland, through or near to which this line will pass, no adequate idea can be formed. They exist in the most favourable part of Scotland, requiring only a cheap means of trans port to develope the many resources they possess. Several of these towns have already grown into some importance; and it should be an object with the proprietors of the soil, and with the manufac. turers of the district, to encourage the formation of a road like the one proposed, so as to extend to them the benefits which it is capable of affording." Sixthly.—There are various other points in regard to which the superior advantages offered by the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Car. lisle Railway, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, require only to be briefly indicated. (1.) The former will open up a connexion between the counties of Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles, and Roxburgh, and the north-west of England, and south-west of Scotland. These Scotch counties already combine the highest state of agricultural improvement, with a growing woollen menu. facture. (2.) In the neighbourhood of Langholm there are very rich seams of coal which are at present landlocked, but the produce of which the Hawick Line will be the means, not only of bringing to the coast, but also of carrying farther into the interior, which is at present suffering from the want of it. (3.) The Dumfries Line, by giving a communication both from the south and north, with the seaport of Annan, affords to the whole of that district of country the means of communication with the best harbour on the upper part of the Solway Frith. (4.) The Caledonian Line would, even if a branch were made to Dumfries, afford very inferior ac. commodation to that town, and to the counties of Kircudbright and Wigton, from which a large number of cattle are at present sent, partly by sea and partly by land, to England. (5.) The Caledonian Line would, in like manner, afford a very inferior communication between the north of England and the north of Ireland, either by way , of Port Patrick or the seaports on the coasts of Ayrshire. (Lastly.) Vire "Calecio , lian Railway place in a • less silvan. tageous position the whole population of the counties of Ayr and Renfrew, which, together, contain 319,428 inhabitants, being more than twice as many as the whole of Lanarkshire, exclud ing Glasgow. After the details which have now been given you, you will not be surprised to hear that the Caledonian Railway, while it receives a certain degree of support from the promoters of the Scottish Cen. tral Railway, is opposed by almo.t all the other railway interests in Scotland, including the Edinburgh and Glasgow, the North British, the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, and the lines extending through Fifeshire to the north of Scotland. Indeed, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company have the strongest interest, and, at the same time, the strongest Parlia mentary grounds for opposing the Caledonian scheme, in conse. quence of the two forks of the latter undertaking being so laid out as to form a competing line for the traffic between Edinburgh and Glasgow, not more than eight or nine miles longer than the direct route, and thus falling under the class of schemes which the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Railways last session de nounced as unjustifiable, being a railway (to use their own words) " which, if it is to remunerate the proprietors at all, can only remunerate them by means of the abstraction of traffic, which is already, for all substantial purposes, equally well accommodated by some existing railway. ° Your Committee regret much the length to which their ob servations on the merits of your line, and those with which it has been placed in competition, have extended. They will endeavour to condense, into as short a space as possible, the remaining points which it is essential they should bring before you. You will recollect that the original rough estimate of the cost of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, was at the rate of 13,0001. per mile. Mr. Miller, your engineer, has not completed the detailed plans of the works, so as to enable him to say whether any reduction can be made upon the estimate, but he assures your Committee that there is no chance of its being exceeded. The amount, therefore, which will be required to finish your line, will be under 1,200,000/. Of this sum above four.hfths have been sub scribed and paid on, being more than is required by the Standing Orders in Parliament to entitle your Bill to pass, even if you apply for your whole line from Kilmarnock to Carlisle ; whilst, if your Committee shall, on mature consideration, consent to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company proceeding with their Bill, to the effect of taking power to execute the portion of the Line between Kilmarnock and Cumnock, under an obligation to convey it or lease it in perpetuity to you, if you desire it, the amount which has been subscribed will be considerably more than is required. In these circumstances, your Committee have resolved not to issue at present any additional shares. Your Committee have had very satisfactory communications from most of the proprietors of land along the railway. They have also received assurances of support from many of the Corporations in the west of Scotland, and particularly from the towns of Dum fries and Annan, in which both the magistrates and inhabitants have resisted various attempts to draw them off, and have unani mously declared in your favour. The counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and Kircudbright, have also passed resolutions approving of your line. . FARLY CLOSING of WAREHOUSES.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus.

The publication of that Report, and the facts it disclosed, in place of lending to the early execution of the Beattock or Central Line, had the effect of deterring the public from embarking in it, and of directing their attention to the more profitable investment presented by the East Coast Line from Newcastle to Edinburgh. The North British Railway, being the Scotch portion of that line, was accordingly brought forward in 1842—was sanctioned by an Act of Parliament obtained last session—and is now in course of being made. The effect of this decision of Parliament in favour of an East Coast Line, which removes the only ground on which the Royal Commissioners had preferred the Central Line, is not even yet ge nerally known. Accordingly, the scheme of a Beattock Railway which was revived last spring, with some modifications that led to the adoption of the new name of the Caledonian Railway, has been generally received by the public under the erroneous impression that it has still the sanction of the Commissioners' authority. 'WEST MIDDLESEX WATER WORKS. Notice is hereby given, that a SPECIAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the COMPANY of PROPRIETORS of the WEST MIDDLESEX WATER WORKS will be holden at the Company's Office, New.road, St. Marylebone, corner of Notting. harn.place, on FRIDAY, the 17th day of January next, to nominate and appoint a Director in the room or stead of Thomas Abbott Green, Esquire, deceased. The Chair will be taken at Twelve o'clock precisely, when the Ballot will commence, and, according to the 14th bye-law, it will finally close at Two. The line, as thus revived and modified, is ,meant to extend from Carlisle, to a point at or near Lanark, and to diverge there into two branches, one running to Edinburgh and the other towards Glasgow. A subordinate branch Is proposed, from a point about eight miles distant from Glasgow, to join a projected railway, called the Scottish Central Railway, at Castlecarry ; whereby a connexion with Stirling and the North would be aftbrded. The branch towards Glasgow is not intended to be carried so far as that City, but, at some distance from it, will run-1, into certain mineral railways belonging to separate Companies, and constructed originally for the purpose of conveying coals to the high levels on the north side of Glasgow ; and 2, into another projected line, called the Clydesdale Junction, which is intended to convey minerals and passengers to the low levels on the south side of Glasgow. This complicated plan will be best understood by reference to the accompanying Map.

In contrasting this scheme with that of which the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is intended to form a part, your Committee feel bound to consider, preferably, their bearing on the general interests of the country. _ . Purchasers must insist upon being supplied in the shops with " Price's Patent Candles," or they are very likely to get some of the imitations, on account of the greater profit afforded to the dealer by these latter. First. —The length of the Caledonian Railway, excluding the Castlecarry Branch, which is said to be about eight miles long, is cpi st i a :r t it e nbs d oeot i fec n rot sh t n. h es e it trl P ui s r ci e o t i td p tah e Prospectus, stated, cu, without l ht a ai s et c, b a e r i ,r n 11'2 miles, and the cost is there estimated at 1,800,900/. In a subsequent report, published by the savings Caledonianu upon on which h n i ,h other tihn ee n exceeding consequencetextensionhe capital the o Prospectus proceeded." But, even after allowing this correction of the original estimate, of the accuracy of which your Committee have no means of judging, and without attempting to calculate the expense of a proposed branch of about 15 miles long to Dumfries, and of widening the guage, and otherwise altering the mineral lines before mentioned, or the expense of the Clydesdale Junction Line, which practically forms a part of the scheme, it would appear that the single line of international communication proposed by the Caledonian Company, would, without accommodating any important local traffic, actually cause an expenditure of upwards of 500,0004 more than the whole sum that would be required for completing the two trunk lines of communication which your Conn. mittee have already pointed out. Secondly.—Your Committee beg to refer you to the Comparative Table of Distances on the accompanying Map, from which ycu will observe—l. That the North British Railway, in connexion with the projected lines from London to York, and from Newcastle to Berwick, affords the shortest communication from London, Leeds, Hull, and Newcastle, to Edinburgh and Stirling ; and that, not only by the Fife Line, but even by the Scottish Central Rail. way, which would be reached by the Eeinburgh and Glasgow Railway, it forms the shortest route from London and the important towns above-mentioned to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. 2. That the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Carlisle Railway affords the shortest line from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Mc., to Edinburgh ; and, in connexion with tile Fife and Northern Liles, to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. 3. That the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is the shortest route from London and the whole of England to Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Port- Patrick , for the north of Ireland, Kilmarnock, and Ayr; and that, allowing for'the superiority of its gradients over those of the Caledonian Line, on the principles of comparison established by the Royal Commissioners In their Report of 1841, it affords the shortest communication, In point of speed and economy, with Paisley and Greenock. The only disadvantage, in point of distance, is in the case of Glasgow; in regard to which, however, on the principles laid down in the Commissioners' Report, the difference between the two lines is reduced to 13i miles, or less than half an hour in point of time. Thirdly.—The sections of the Caledonian, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Lines, not having been deposited, it is impossible as yet to speak accurately ,on :the subject of gradients. It is quite certain, however, that the gradi . ents of the former will be inferior to those of the latter. The dAlowing arc quotations from a report made on the comparative Merits of the two lines by Mr. Locke, the engiheer of the Caledonian Railway, in 1836. In speaking of what'is now called the Caledonian Lii,e, he says, " lat first directed my attention to this route, which, as far as Beattock bridge, near Moffat, 1 found tolerably favourable ; in proceeding farther, however, the valley for several miles rises very rapidly, until reaching the summit near Elvanfoot, where it attains the height of nearly 1,000 feet above the level of the sea—Beattock-bridge, which is only 10 miles distant, being only about 300 feet above the level of the sea. In 10 miles, then, the rise is nearly 700 feet, which, supposing it to be uniform the whole way, would give an inclination of 1 in 75.* Not wishing to recommend a line having such a plane," &c. But in speaking of the line by Dumfries, Mr. Locke says—" Of the levels of this route, I may say, that from• Carlisle to Dumfries, about thirty miles, the wily inclinations will be these which it may be desirable to encounter for the purpose of saving money, those two towns being nearly 011 the same level. With the exception of the bridges across the Rivers Eden, Esk, Sark, and Annan, which will neither be high nor very long, no very considerable outlay will be required. The ground in some parts is undulating, but not so as to render the formation of the road either difficult or expensive." And again, with reference to the portion of the line between Dumfries and Thornhill, he says —" The levels in this part extending over a space of almost forty miles,t will be nearly uniform, and gradually ascending for the whole distance ; and with the exception of a short length of about 1 1 4 miles, about 1 in 180, I do not believe there will be a greater inclination than what is generally admitted in forming railways in England." And, in regard to the rest of the line, he says, that " although undulating, the road will not, I should think, be unfa vourable for locomotive engines."

Your Committee have thus laid fully before you the details of the entire scheme of railway communication from England to Scotland, of which your line forms a part. They feel perfect con ficlen.re in its superiority over each other, as being best calculated to promote the interests of Scotland ; and they will proceed quietly but zealously, with their preparations for the approaching examina tion of its merits before the Board of Trade and Parliament.

Sta,-Various reports having been circulated en the subject of this line, tending to induce a belief that the Directors were not intending bona fide to carry out the scheme, er that they had neglected to comply with the standing orders as to the requisite notices, with other similar unfounded and injurious statements, I beg leave to assure you that all such reports, and especially the one alluded to in " Herapath's Railway and Commercial Journal," of last Saturday, as being current in Liverpool, are utterly devoid of truth or foundation. The Directors are not only prepared to go to Parliament for this independent and neutral line, but they are determined to carry out the objects of the undertaking by every means in their power. They hare no apprehension of any opposition, nor any reason to believe that such is intended ; and as they will not, on their own parts, neglect anything to insure success, neither will they allow the scheme "to be shelved "by any one, if such were possible. Share. holders may, therefore, set down all such idle reports as the resnit of stock-jobbing speculations, to induce a fall in the shares, and be on their guard against them for the future. The Directors are sorry to find that any such idle stories should have been sanc tioned or circulated by the Editor of a Railway Newspaper, without the smallest inquiry at the Company's office, where he would have been furnished with every requisite information, had he asked for It. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, J. H. HUI+,IFREY, Secretary. N.B.

Fifthly.—With regard to traffic, your Committee are now enabled to speak with more confidence, in consequence of having, since the date of their Prospectus, taken measures to ascertain its amount accurately, both on your own and on the Caledonian es Li and Car ne. The result is, that upon the l ine of the Glasgow, Dumfri, lisle Railway, the thorough and local traffic, taken together, is suf ficient to ensure an adequate return ; but the thorough traffic be tween Glasgow and England, including, of course, what passes along the road by Beattock, as well as what passes b the y other great road from Kilmarn ock to Carlisle, is quite insufficient to do 60. It amounts to not snore than 40 per cent. of the whole traffic which will pass along your line. Were the whole of this trans. ferred, without competition, to the Caledonian Line, on which the local traffic is trifling, it would not yield interest on its cost. Your Committee do not feel any hesitation in speaking of the small amount of local traffic on the Caledonian Line, because their statement is confirmed by thew,corded opinion of the gilled Royal Calongorn. misaioners, already q uoted ; no one who has tra the Beattock-road between Carlisle and Glasgow, by daylight, will fail to remember that there are from twenty to t hirty miles where the sight of a cottage or a human being is a rarity. Your Committee are aware that. much reliance is placed by the Caledonian Company on their prospe,:t of traffic from the north of Scotland to England, by means of their conneaLm with the projected Central Railway from Stirling to Perth. The Table of Cproparative Distances, to which your attention has already b en a e directed, will enable yon to judge how far this traffic, whatever its mount may be, la likely to pass along the Caledonian Lino, which is more cir cuitous tesan gither the North British or Hawick - Lines, But, ill point of fact, the 11,4a,Kabft of persons who travel south from Stirling_ shire or Perthshire, withe ut is aying occasion to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow on their Way, is tXtresn e ly stnall.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—ln common with other friends of New Zealand, I have read with much interest your article of Tuesday last, and I trust you will continue to draw public atten tion to that ill-used colony. Its cause is a most just one, aad your powerful advocacy of it is sure to bring succei,s in due time. If the state of your columns c ill allow it to be done, would you kindly insert the following. letter, written on a subject of great importance to Now Zea land? A pamphlet, addressed to Lord Stanley, by Mr. Dandeson Coates, Secretary to the Church Missionary Society, and severely censuring the Report of the Par liamentary Committee appointed to consider the affairs of New Zealand, has recently appeared, and it is neces sary to make a few remarks upon it. Considering the position of Mr. Coates as an officer of the Church Missionary Society, and the obvious interest he has in the line of argument he supports, I am sur prised that delicacy did not keep him silent. I should have imagined that after his declaration that he would " thwart the New Zealand Company to the utmost of his power," he would not have condescended to write under a false pretence, and would not, as on this occasion, have made the rights of the natives the stalking-horse of the wrongs of the missionaries. Lord Stanley is well aware that the missionaries of New Zealand have not been wholly unmindful of their own temporal interests—that in their ordinary care for the natives, they have not omitted taking extraordinary care of themselves, and he will see how likely it is that they should be jealous of, and opposed to, any other colonization than their own ; for, with all respect to the Church Missionary Society, to which I have subscribed for many years, I say that it is a scandalous thing that her agents in New Zealand should have been so mixed up in land jobbing. Out of 35 missionaries in 1838—for 21 to be land claimants, 18 to the tune of 118,000 acres, and the others to the tune of 40,000! It is most discreditable and im- proper, and must grieve every friend to missionary ex ertion. These grants all being in the northern part of New Zealand, we are at once supplied with a key to the opposition of their owners to colonization in the southern part. But is it not " drawing the feather" rather too openly for these men and their friends to assert their objections on principle to all southern colonization ?—an objection which this very highly-paid officer of their body, and the avowed foe of the New Zealand Company, urges with his half-coaxing, half-bullying appeal, on Lord Stanley, and all forsooth on principle? But let no one fancy that the missionaries have well-founded religious grounds on which to oppose the systematic colonization now going on. The opposition of the missionaries in New Zealand to me appears simply of the earth, earthy! The hole pamphlet, when stripped of its unneces sary verbiage, resolves itself into one point, and upon that point I will undertake to show that Mr. Coates is completely in error. Mr. Coates rejects all previous matters, and confines himself to the treaty of Waitangi. " Here," says he, "is a treaty made by the representative of the British Government and the native chiefs, and I take my stand upon it. I care not for a priori arguments or facts—l stand upon this solemn treaty, and I say, that until you destroy this, the resolutions of the late Parliament Com mittee are dishonest and bad. Tal not to me of the inexpediency or absurdity of the treaty it has been formally made and ratified, and it cannot be avoided." Now, admitting all Mr. Coates's assumptiun., I say that the Parliamentary resolutions are wholly consistent with the treaty of Waitangi, and perfectly honest. and good; and I further say, that the very terms and spirit of that treaty itself furnish us with a full justification of the Parliamentary Committee's report. By the second article of that treaty her Majesty " guarantees to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand, and to the re spective families and individuals thereof, the full, exclu sive, and undisturbed possession of their lands, estates, forests, fisheries, and Other properties, which they may collectively or individually possess, so long as it is their wish to retain the same in timr possession. But the pri vilege of pre-emption is yielded to her Majesty over such land as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to alienate." This is the celebrated treaty of Waitangi. And pray how, attentively considered, does this in any way conflict with the report of the Parliamentary Committee ? Mr. Coates says that the recommendations of the Committee nullify - tile above clause of this treaty. I say they do not nullify it, but leave it wholly undisturbed. The argument arises upon the word possess. The treaty guarantees to the natives all the lands, &c., which they possess. So far so good. But then the Parlia mentary Committee does the same.—( Vide the Report, P •q •ssim• ) The report throughout admits and enforces possession and occupation to be the means of acquiring she title to land in New Zealand, and therefore advocates the very terms of the treaty by impliedly confirming the natives in whatever land they may possess. Any person who reads the report, and who is in the least degree conversant with the subject, will at once see this, and that the claim for the settlers extends only to such laud as may be unoccupied or unpossessed by the natives. The report regards such unpossessed land as part of nature's waste, and open to the first occupier. This doctrir.e has been held by the best writers of all ages, c.g., Grotius, Blackstone, Locke, Puffendorf, and Paley. The native New Zealander dees not occupy or possess a thousandth part of the country for his own support or use (se& Parliamentary papers), and yet Mr. Coates and his missionary friends would keep the remaining 999 parts to themselves, and proscribe other Europeans from acquiring it. But then " they have purchased it !" An equitable purchase, truly, it has been! even admitting some purchase for the sake of argument. A blanket for one thousand acres, a gun or a cloak for 5,000 acres, and so on ! Why, is it not clear to any one, that the natives in their own minds know they are selling what they have no right to, or they would not accept such moonshine equivalents as these ? It is like Sheridan getting a shot at a flock of geese for sixpence, and when he had killed three, and was chuckling at his bargain, being advised by the bumpkin who had received the six pence to make himself scarce, as the real owner was coming into the field. The sly fellow was glad to accept the smallest sum, because what he gave in exchange did not belong to hint. The treaty of Waitangi most properly confirms the natives in the lands they possess, but leaves open the remaining lands to lawful settlement, and the Parlia mentary reports hold the same doctrine, and I defy any impartial reader, be he lay or clerical, to come to any other conclusion than this. Mr. Coates first conceals the true spirit of the report, and then argues in the most dogmatical manner on such false foundations. This is as palpable a piece of Jesuitry as I ever met with. Of course, looking both at the treaty and the report, the true meaning of possession is always to be carefully regarded. It must be settled with a due respect to cir cumstances and the habits of the people. It would be as absurd to construe, e. gr., mere walking over the land once in a lifetime into an act of possession, as to require a legal possession by deed, signed, sealed, and delivered. The animus is the true criterion, whether the individual intended to take possession, and followed up the intention by a corresponding act ; but in such a possession as this, the New Zealander would be disturbed neither by the treaty nor the Parliamentary report. I therefore do trust that Lord Stanley will not, now the way has been opened, refuse to enter upon it from any false feeling towards the aborigines. Their rights, like those of Europeans, rest upon one foundation, both by nature and treaty, viz., possession or occup /lion. Let these rights be openly recognised, and so let an end be put to that sad state of doubt and dread which at present exists. Let rights, whether of the red or white man, be settled and enforced. A young colony cannot stand still—it must go on or fall back; and the uncertainty which yet prevails in New Zealand is enough to stifle it in its infancy. But as Carlyle says, it is a sad time for Governments when the governed pray to be let alone. Lord Stanley may continue to neglect New Zealand, but rely upon it the effect will be most prejudicial to himself and his charactar with posterity. Let Lord Stanley do a little in the business of his official connexion with New Zealand in the right direction, instead of allowing himself to be put forward as the tool of the missionaries, and mixed up with all their transactions. Let him carry out the principle of the Parliamentary report and of the treaty of Waitangi, for the principle of both is identical —" That possession or occupation alone give an original title to land, and that claims to compensation not founded on this principle are to be disregarded, as unsound in theory and unjust in practice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, CIVILIS.

ISLAND OF HERM, OPPOSITE GUERNSEY. The following letter contains particulars of some in terest to the shipping interest : _ _ _ Guernsey, Nov. 18, 1.844. Sir,—The proprietor of the Island of Herm, which lays immediately opposite the town, complains that diffi culties are placed in the way of vessels proceeding there to load stone, while tone exist in respect of vessels going to St. Sampson*,,, although, he contends, the cases are precisely similar. I unlerstand that Berm has been considered as no port, and therefore vessels are not warranted in laying there to take in cargo, and also, that as Herm is a small islet, separated from Guernsey, that going there may be considered as a deviation, the consequence of which diffieulty is, that many vessels refuse to proceed there, and others will only go on payment of sixpence per ton extra freight, hick upon stone is a very serious difference. Now, the harbour of Herm is inelosed by a jetty of about three hundred feet long, and vessels are in safety ; therefore I think it can scarcely be considered as no port ; and as regards a deviation vitiating the insurance, I think that as Herm is only a small islet, absolutely dependent on Guernsey, and within two miles and a half of the island, and as near St. Peter's port as St. Sampson's, I cannot understand why a difference should be made. The proprietor is prepared to buoy off the entrances to the harbour, and to perform such other formalities as may be reqaisim to remove these differences. There are pilots living on the island.—l remain, &c. (Signed) LLOYD'S AGENT. William Dubson, Esq., Lloyd's. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, Nov. 27. The Commission of gaol delivery for the county of Kent was opened on Tuesday by Mr. Justice Wil liams, and this morning the business of the assize ctanmenced. There are forty prisoners for trial, some of whom are charged with murder. There are also several other serious offences. John Cogger, 33, a • person of respectable a).pear ance, surrendered in discharge of his recognisances, to answer an indictment charging him with having unlawfully acted as an attorney at the Quarter Ses sions at Maidstone, without being duly qualified or admitted to practice in that capacity. The defendant pleaded guilty. Mr. BODKIN, who was instructed to prosecute, said the indictment had been instituted by the I,:tw So ciety of the county, with a view to put a stop to the practice of unauthorised persons acting as attorneys. They had, of course, no vindictive feeling towards the defendant., and as he had acknowledged his error by pleading guilty, the prosecutors would be satis fied with his entering into his own recognisance to appear and receive the judgment of the Court, if he was called upon to do so, which would, however, not be done unless he repeated the offence. The defendant having entered into the required re cognisances, was discharged from custody. THE CASE OF RICHARD DADD Y THE PARRICIDE. • Mr. BODKIN made an application to the Court in reference to the above prisoner, who, it will be remem bered, after having murdered his father, made his way to France, and was eventually brought back to this country and committed for trial. The Learned Counsel, after having briefly allacipd to the circumstances of the case, said there was no doubt that the unhappy young man was insane, and he had been removed, by order of the Secretary of State, to a criminal lunatic asylum, where he now re mained. As the trial, therefore, would not come on, he had to apply to the Court to discharge the recog nisances of the witnesses who had been bound over, and to order that the money and other valuables taken from the person of the deceased gentleman at the time of the discovery of the murder, might be delivered to his friends.—The Court made the order. Mr. HORNE applied to have a person, named Richard Snoard, whose name appeared upon the calendar .as charged with forgery, called upon to ap pear in discharge of his recognisances. The circumstances connected with this case are of rather an extraordinary character. The accused is represented to be a man of very considerable pro perty, and the offence with which he is charged was alleged to have been committed upwards of four years ago, and the indictment has during all that period been upon the files of the Court, but has been post poned under various pretexts until the present time. The accused was admitted to bail in the sum of I ,000 L. to appear and answer the charge, and in his failing to do so, the recognisances he had entered into were estreated, and the amount was eventually paid into the Exchequer. The defendant was afterwards taken, and was again admitted to bail, and the trial was to have taken place at the last Summer Assizes • but upon the application of the counsel for the defendant, it was again postponed, and the indictment now once more came before the court. The defendant was called upon to appear, but did not do so. Mr. lIonNE Ulm applied to have the recognisance* estreated. He sail the case had now been standing over for several years, and it was very hard upon the prosecutors that they should be trifled with in this manner. Ile trusted, therefore, that the Court would either insist upon the defendant appearing and taking his trial, er else estreat the recognisances. Mr. Justice WIELIAms said that if the party did not appear in pursuance of his recognisancea, they would, of course, be estreated. Mr. BODKIN shortly afterward& said that he and Mr. Clarkson were instructed to defend the accused, and he was in attendance in the Court, but was not prepared at that moment to take his trial, but he would be ready to do so, if time was afforded him to obtain the attendance of some material witnesses. Mr. Justice WiLLIAms said the trial must come on in its turn during the assizes, or else the recognisances would be estreated. TILE Foa.—The effect of the very dense fog which invested the eastern extremities and suburbs of the metropolis, yesterday, was very singular in par ticular localities. From Leadenball,street to the foot of Cornhill, about a quarter to eleven o'clo: , k, the atmosphere was more strangely discoloured than we can remember to have ever seen it. All objects ap peared to be viewed through that indescribable gloom which attends a total eclipse of the sun. A deep copper, or maroon colour, invested every visible build ing; the sun showed like a red, but opaque disc ; and the dimly developed outlines of the figures moving about the crowded quarter in question reminded us of the aspect of a closing tableau to some startling spec tacle of diablerie at the theatres. The tower of the Exchange was invisible on the other side of Cornhill, and the whole of the massive fabric was wrapped at the early hour in a sombre shadow, unlike that of twilight, evening, or night. This strange mantle was so partially spread, however, that it did not at,- pear from the Poultry, westward. On Cornhill it was distressing to observe the effect of " the palpable obscure" through which they were passing, on viduals affected with pulmonary complaints ; and the eyes of everybody who happened to be exposed to it were, for the time, most painfully disordered.
