By GEORGE LEWIS SMYTH. Whittaker and Co., Ave Maria-lane. make allowance for the undoubted fact that the formation of this Company was first pro posed by the Colonial-office, and pursued by its founders against their own inclinations as the only means then available of securing New Zealand for colonization. But as the result of the questions at issue between the Colonial-office and the Company, they should still hope for a reversal by Parliament w the policy of that office in New Zealand. Ever since the Company had rescued those islands from the dominion of France, their colonization by England has been inevitable. Terrible disasters may befal our countrymen now settled there; accounts of shocking scenes of bloodshed hnd devastation may even now be . . NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. The adjourned meeting of the New Zealand Com pany took place on Friday at the New Zealand House, Broad-street -buildings, Joseph Somes, Esq., in the Chair, supported by H. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P., John E. Boulcott, Esq., James R. Gowen, Esq., William Hutt, Esq., M.P. Viscount Ingestre, M.P., Ross D. Mangles, Esq., M.P., S. Marjoribanks, Esq., M.P., A. Nairne, Esq., John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., Edward G. Wakefield, Esq., George F. Young, Esq., Loid Dillon, Hon. A. Tollemache, George Lyall, Esq., M.P., Russell Ellice, Esq., Alexander Currie, Esq., and a very large number of Proprietors. The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the report, said, from the voluminous nature of the appendices to it, it was impossible to lay them in a printed form for a day or two before the Shareholders. Mr. HARINGTON, the Secretary, then read the report, of which the following is an abstract : The report stated that the Secretary of State had rejected all the proposals submitted to his Lordship, without assigning any explanation of the grounds of his refusal, referred to the correspondence contained in the appendix, on showing the Directors' proceed ings in declining a suggestion made by the Colonial Department ; and it drew a contrast between the tone of the communication submitted by the Com pany, aria tli6' ielfriiiebeglif wider - Vie replies consisted. " It was stated that an impression prevailed among the Directors to the effect, that Lord Stanley himself does not participate in the towards the Com pany, constantly exhibited in the correspondence of the Colonial-office and the local government of New Zealand. " A large body of the proprietors had given a written assurance of their approbation of the directors in declining to accept a loan of 40,0001. from the Go vernment. Two letters, dated May, 1843, and con taining an agreement entered into between the Com pany and Lord Stanley, had been put by his Lordship into the hands of Capt. Fitzroy, when appointed Gover nor of New Zealand, and on doubts as to their inter pretation being suggested by' sombody,' Lord Stanley had furnished instructions to Governor Fitzroy, in June, 1843, which materially altered the letter and spirit of the agreement, but did not communicate those instructions to the Company until February 1, 1844, nearly seven months after Governor Fitzroy had left England. Had the Company been aware of the interpretation put upon the agreement, they would have endeavoured to effect its recal, and, failing this, would have protested against an important variation of the contract by one of the parties without the con sent or knowledge of the other. " This disregard of good faith by the Colonial-office may be productive of very serious practical wrong to wards the Company and its settlers. " From the attempt of the Government to colonise without means, instead of merely governing the colo nists already settled and the natives, had arisen the establishment of the seat of government near the end of a narrow country 800 miles long, the discourage ment of the Company's settlements, and the induce ments held out to emigrants taken out at the Com pany's expense to re-emigrate to Auckland. "These schemes the directors were bound by their duty to shareholders and settlers to resist, and hence may be inferred with what reluctance they consented to that part of the agreement of May, 1843, by which they engaged to take lands at Auckland, and colonise there. " What, then, induced them to consent ? Their answer is, they felt the interests of settlers and pro prietors to be so completely at the mercy of the Colonial-office and the local Government with respect to the vital question of land titles, and the proceed ings of the Government were leading to such fearful results that they deemed it their duty to obtain some determination of that question by means of almost airy sacrifice. They had implicit confidence in Governor Fitzroy's strict sense of justice and honour. That confidence remains undiminished. "But the agreement having been altered unknown to them, they look with alarm for news of what may have been the result. " The agreement of May, 1843, was in lieu of an other agreement entered into with Lord John Rus sell, in November, 1840, by which the Company sur rendered to the Crown all claim to the land it had acquired from the natives, and undertook to raise a further capital of 200,0001., in addition to its original capital of 100,0001., in consideration of Lord John Russell's engaging that it should receive from her Majesty a grant of as many acres as it had expended crowns in colonisation. This agreement the local Government seems always to have treated as waste paper. A Court of Claims was established, into which the Company was required to establish claims which that agreement had compelled it to abandon. The natives were the party on the other side. The Court consisted of gentlemen who did not understand a word of the native language. The interpreter was also the sub-protector of the aborigines, and, as such, both prepared out of Court the claims of the natives against the Company, and acted as their counsel in Court. He was just eighteen years old when ap pointed by his father, the chief protector, a lay mis sionary, personally and largely interested in whatever affected the value of landed property near Auckland. " There was no surer way of raising that value at the expense of the Company's settlements, than by decisions of the Court of Claims adverse to the Com pany, or by delay in the decision. It is not, there fore, surprising that the Commissioner's Court should produce the most deplorable results. " In our opinion, the massacre at Wairoa, fol lowed directly from it.' " But it is not to the Court that the Company has ever objected. A Court of Claims was, perhaps, ne cessary, in order that the native title should be extin guished by the Government, and the Company, in stead of being made a party before the Court, should have been called as a witness on behalf of the Crown, according to the principle of Lord John Russell's agreement. " The report detailed other instances of unfairness in the correspondence of the Colonial-office and the local Government, and referred to the documents annexed in several appendixes, showing the injurious effects of the measures of the latter. " Tracing these to their result in the massacre at Wairoa, the directors disclaim any desire of ven geance towards the natives, whom they consider to be in a great measure unconscious of right and wrong according to European notions, their present conduct and ultimate fate depending entirely on their new government, and themselves, therefore, to be held free from many of the responsibilities attaching to civilized men. " Paying a high and just tribute of praise to Capt. Arthur Wakefield, R.N., late tha Company's agent at Nelson, and pointing out the tendency of the spirit exhibited by the report of the chief protector, and the subsequent proclamation of the acting Governor, to aggravate the mutual hostility of whites and natives which the Court of Claims, and the event at Wairoa had produced, the report described its practical effect. The colonial population now holds all property, and life itself, upon no better tenure than the forbearance of tribes of savages flushed with triumph and incited to rapacity. " The course of events in New Zealand has ne cessarily produced the effects described in the former report of 15th March last. After spending half a million in colonisation, the Company is still without a secure title to one acre of the property awarded to it by Lord John Russell's agreement more than three years ago. Land sales have ceased. The Company is deprived of income. Its expenditure is increased by that insecurity of title which has cut off its re sources. The only cause to which this can be as cribed is the errors and hostility of the Colonial office and the local Government. In all other respects a remarkable success has attended its proceedings. re sources of New Zealand have been realised; the p an of colonization has found abundant favour; nonitosos; The most sanguine hopes concerning the natural n o distressing event has occurred from accide tate the Company trol.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five. guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. .would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained atsl. per cent. interest until death, when the 35/. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payab. - bythe Company.

Capital £500,000. Empowered loy Act of Parliament, The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable seals, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums Abingdon - Aberporth - - Alresford - - Aberystwith - - Athy - - - Ashby de la Zouch Bath - - - Bury St. Edmund's Berwick - - Brentwood - - Bristol - - - Brighton - - Broseley - - Bishop's Castle - Bremen - - Bruton - - - Bridgewater - - Belfast - - - Ballinasloe - - Bordeaux - - Brecon - - - Cork - _ Chelmsford - - Chichester - - Carlisle - - Canterbury - - Cirencester - - Corwen - - Chatham - - Cambridge - - Chard - - Chertsey - - Church Stretton Chudleigh - - Carlow - - Cape Town - - Dublin - - Darlington - - Dorking - - Deal - - Devonport - - Dorchester - - Drogheda - - Donegal - Dawlish - Enniscorthy - Epsom - - Ellesmore - - Exeter - - Edinburgh - - Enniskillen - - Einsworth - - Gosport - - Greenwich - - Gloucester - - Gravesend - - Galway - - Guernsey - Greenock - - Gainsborough - Honiton - - Horsham - - Haverfordwest - Hampstead - - ' Holyhead - Hastings - - Havre - - Hindon - - Huddersfield Hull - - on their way; but, still in the end, British coloniza tion must carry all before it. How it may be con trolled and regulated so as to benefit instead of exter urinating the native race, is a subject of which all the interest must now revive. A former inquiry by Parlia ment exposed the mischiefs of the irregular colonization which was then upheld, and set aside the policy till then pursued. But the execution of the policy laid down by Parliament has been miserably defective. To say nothing of the lavish expenditure, or actual bankruptcy of the local Government, the state of relation between the colonists and the natives is such as to call for the interference of Parliament. We confidently trust that the whole subject of coloniza• tion and government in New Zealand, including the proceedings of the Company, will be strictly investi gated by that competent authority. A full and searching inquiry into our own conduct is what is most desired. It cannot take place without tending at least to the removal of the causes of your present ruin, and the restoration of your means of accom plishing the valuable public objects which your charter of incorporation has in view." Mr. RUSSELL ELLICE begged to congratulate the Shareholders in the strongest manner upon the straightforward statement then placed before them. He had had much experience in the proceedings of colonial officials, and his opinion respecting them had been confirmed by what had just been read. It was with much pleasure he saw that Mr. Aglionby had given notice in the House of Commons for a Com mittee to inquire into colonial matters in New Zealand. The result of a strict investigation would be the dispelling of any little delusion which might now exist in the public mind in reference to the pro ceedings and affairs of the Company, and that they would be looked upon, as they deserved to be, as a body calculated, if justice were done to them, to effect a great deal of g00d. 7 --(Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE ROBINS seconded the adoption of the report, and, after a few observations, said that a com mittee of the House would be moved for that evening and that one of the best ways to obtain justice for the New Zealand Company would be to . furnish each Member of Parliament with a copy of the printed re port. The Company required no other case than the simple recital of facts set forth in the document but recently read to them.—(Hear, hear.) They had in deed, one of the strongest cases ever carried before Parliament, and he would not believe it was - possible that justice could be denied them. Mr. AGLIONBY said that, his name having been mentioned in connection with a notice on the votes of the House for a Committee on the subject, he begged to observe, that some allusion having been ppinted to this Company, in the discussion of the New Zealand estimates on Friday night, he deemed it his duty not to allow a moment to pass without stating that they desired to have a searching inquiry, and that he claimed it on the part of the Company. In stating to the House that it was necessary, for the satisfaction of the public mind, that there should be nia inquiry into the state of affairs in New Zealand, a d also into the proceedings of tha t Com p an y , the oble Lord at the head of the Coloni al De p artment did t, it was right to say, make the slightest objection. motion for a Committee had his Lordship's full *sent on Wednesday evening, and the Committee vOuld have been granted but for a formal objection, i/z., that notice for it had not been given. He had, op this objection, withdrawn his motion for that night, btit he was bound to say that he believed that it was Lord Stanley's wish that the inquiry should not be postponed. There could not be a doubt but that the Committee would be granted without discussion. He hoped that there would be a most searching inquiry into the matter. i Mr. CURRIE said, that with respect to t h e conduct (4 the Colonial Minister, lie thought the report had i f lly shown the simple ground of all the colonial oc co the land claims. If Lord Stan l ey had the feelin g s rrences complained of, to have been the non-settling o an Englishman, he would , under t he circumstances o the case, and knowing that his own countrymen were now in New Zealand unprotected, afford the piotection required. The settlers did not require much military protection, but they were entitled to that which a just cause and an undisputed title to their land ought to secure for them from the autho 4ies, and if more blood were shed in the settlement, in consequence of inadequate protection, the intended Monument of Wairoa would be a lasting memorial of Lord Stanley's apathy and neglect of his fellow men. He begged to move— , " That this Court, continuing to confide in the ability, discretion, and honour of the directors, ap proves cordially of their determination to appeal to Parliament for the redress of wrongs inflicted on the Company, assured that the proprietors may rely on their receiving from that tribunal the justice which has been denied them by the Colonial department of the Executive Government." The motion was seconded by Mr. PERCIVAL, and carried unanimously. Mr. SOMES then left the chair, which was taken by Lord INGESTRE, and Mr. GEORGE ROBINS moved, and Mr. HARDING seconded, " That the best thanks of this meeting be especially presented to the Governor, for his conduct in the chair; and to the Governor and Deputy-Go vernor and Directors, for their uniform and valuable attention to the affairs of the Company." The motion was carried unanimously, and The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Somes) having returned thanks, the meeting separated. EXAMPLES. Pol l o e y A g e. sum. . Annual Bonus Cask Prem. Entry. w Prem. Added.

The history of the discovery of these atrocious 4uds ' and the gradual development of the facts con nected with them, are very curious. The following particulars have been collected from authentic sdurces !The forgery of the will of Miss Slack, it will be re membered, was that which was first discoverd. It appears that when a will or other evidence of death is left at any of the offices of the Bank the course re gnlarly pursued is to send information of the fact to the other offices of that establishment. Accordingly, when the forged will of Miss Slack was left at the Ilank for the purpose of claiming that portion of her stock which had been transferred to the Commission exs for the Reduction of the National Debt, notice of her death was forwarded to the office of the Reduced Tree-and-a-Half per Cents., in which description of stock Miss Slack had, it appears, also a sum standing in her name. Under this will the stock transferred to the Com missioners was, as is well known, appropriated by the fictitious Emma Slack. Matters remained in this condition, it seems, for some months, until a gentle man in the City, a broker, was instructed to p k ur i chase a sum of Three-and - a - Half p er Cent. stocntienman name of the rightful Miss Slack. The g when he proceeded to fulfi l his instructions , ewas told by the officials of the Bank that Miss Slack was dead, and that it was against the rules of the Bank to allow any stock to be purchased in the name of a deceased person. He was somewhat surprised, as might be expected, upon receiving such a communica tion, and, by way of solving the mystery, and " making assura nce doubly sure, he wrote to the young lady herself, informing her of her reported death, and requesting to know her own opinion upon the subject. If the broker was surprised, it can be eas il y i m agined that the lady felt and expressed as much astonishment as the individual who had been employed, and, in order to set a matter of such pain ful importance at rest, off she came as soon as possible, and presented herself in propria persona at the Bank. The subject was fully investigated, and, in the result all parties interested in the proper disposal of the pro perty concurred in the belief that a fraud had been committed. The first thing which naturally suggested itself to those who were engaged in the investigation was, no doubt, to ascertain who the solicitor employed on the occasion of the transfer was, and in this stage of the inquiry the name of Mr. Barber was brought into notice. Mr. Barber was seen, but he failed to give any satisfactory account of the transaction. Inves tigations were persevered in with remarkable zeal and scrupulousness, and at length Barber was taken into custody by Daniel Forrester. Before Barber's apprehension, his diary, it appears, was secured, a document which immediately made the authorities at the Bank acquainted with the name of Joshua Fletcher, although we are of opinion that the ptosecutors must have obtained some previous know ledge concerning that delinquent.

After ' B , b : --N - -- - 4,q1 ~...,, .ross-examination of whom by Mr.Vlarkso , itkts Government, both witness and accused were re an for further investigation, and ordered to be kepliusigivagMag from each other. Neither one nor the other iftilif or could tell who the Emma Slack was who had ad-. ministered to the will, further than that she was a lady of the most unexceptionable respectability. The next step to be taken by the investigators, therefore, was to find out who Emma Slack was, and that great point was a long time involved in a mystery apparently impenetrable. All that could be ascertained for a considerable period was, that she had resided in a house for a few weeks, hut from what place she had come, or to what place sh- had gone, no one could surmise. In the meantime, Bar ber and Fletcher were, on various occasions, brought before the Lord Mayor, and their counsel and attor neys exercised all their skill to excite the public sym pathy in favour of the prisoners, and to obtain as quick a trial as possible for them, no doubt in apprehension of the sequel. The Bank, judging wisely that the Slack case was not the only one in which Mr. Barber had been en gaged of a similar description, caused a rigid search to be made relative to other transactions with which the name of Barber was mixed up as the attorney. This active spirit of inquiry brought to light first the case of Hunt, then the case of Burehard, and, ultimately, the case of Stewart. All of these were subjected to a course of examination, and, if we re • member rightly, on each of the four first occasions on which Barber and Fletcher were brought up for examination a new and additional charge was alleged against them. In the meantime, it was not at all known who were the other parties who had been confederated with Barber and Fletcher to carry into effect these daring frauds. With the view, as we imagine, of searching into the cases, a reward of 1001. was offered to any party who should discover who Emma Slack was, but the offer tempted no candidate for the prize. Ultimately, however, the attention of the prosecutors was directed to a Miss Richards, who, it was stated, came from Bath, and was intimately acquainted with Fletcher and his first wife, and whose description exactly cor responded with that of a person who had visited Emma Slack during her stay at her lodgings near Tottenham Court-road. -- _ _ Miss Richards was accordingly traced from place to place, until it was ascertained that she had married a shopkeeper named Dorey, and that she resided in Oxford-street. Here she was identified as a visitor of Emma Slack, and apprehended ; and some of her writing was obtained; and in her trunk the seal was found which bore the same device as that attached to the will of Eliza Burchard. This was a very im portant step for the prosecutors, for the seal showed that she was cognisant of the will of Eliza Burchard, and her handwriting resembled that in which the will of Mary Hunt was written. Still the precise part taken by her remained to be proved, and the presence of Emma Slack appeared to be indispensable to a clear development of the plot. As the discovery of so important a character in the drama as Mrs. Dorey had taken place, those by whom the investigations were conducted would naturally be induced to trace out, and sharply look after her immediate connections. The description of the per son, manners, and habits of Emma Slack was closely inquired into, and upon comparison with the account given of the persons, manners, and habits of Mrs. Dorey's relations, was found precisely to correspond with what was said of Lydia Saunders, her sister, the wife of William Saunders, fishmonger, of Bristol. Visits were from time to time, as it now appears, paid to Bristol by John and Daniel Forrester, but neither she nor her husband could be found, and their ab sence naturally tended to strengthen the suspicion which existed against them. As the investigations were carried on it was found that not only did the description of Airs. Saunders agree with that given of Emma Slack, but that the description of William Saunders also corresponded with that of Thomas Hunt, the alleged executor of Mary Hunt. We do not collect that the prosecutors obtained information from any one that these were actually the parties en gaged in the transactions ; but so accurate were the descriptions obtained, and so confirmed were they by . dates and other circumstances, that the prosecutors, as will be remembered, offered a reward of 1001. for the • discovery of Lydia Saunders, and a further sum of 1001. for the discovery of her husband. The offer of these rewards was for some time of no avail, but ultimately, through some channel which has not been made known, Saunders and his wife were found living in an obscure part of Edinburgh, under an assumed name, and were there apprehended. The determination of the prosecutors to apprehend Mr. and Mrs. Saunders was fully justified by the result, for these participators in the delinquencies of Barber and Fletcher were, it will be remembered, immediately identified as the individuals who had personated the two fictitious parties alluded to. Mrs. Dorey was also identified as Eliza Burchard, the fictitious niece and executrix of the testatrix, Eliza Burchard. It still, however, remained to be discovered who Elizabeth Stewart, the assumed sister and adminis tratrix of John Stewart, was. This question was involved in more than ordinary obscurity and con fusion, as no person living could be found who answered the description of the performer of that part. The servant who attended on the aged female, Elizabeth Stewart, was, however, as it appears, traced out ; and the most accurate information was obtained respecting the infirm mistress ; and, after a lengthened investigation, Elizabeth Stewart was sa tisfactorily proved to be no other than Mrs. Dorey's and Mrs. Saunders's mother, who shortly afterwards died, and whom Mrs. Dorey visited in the pretended relationship of niece. This servant, who is very ob serving and intelligent, gave such an account of the fictitious Elizabeth Stewart that the portrait was consi dered perfect, and those who knew the mother of Mrs. Dorey declared it to be quite impossible that the lady who played the character could have been any other. Indeed, with such truth was the descrip tion given that Mrs. Dorey upon hearing it burst into tears, and became an object of much commisera tion. The gown, or rather the remnant of the gown, of Mrs. Richards was, notwithstanding the lapse of three yearse since her death , searched for and found in the hands of a charwoman, to whom it had been given by Mrs. Dorey upon the decease of her mother, and that gown was immediately identified by the attendant upon the old woman. The whole of the circumstances of the conspiracy have been thus most satisfactorily developed ; and those who have been prosecuted have met with con dign punishment with the complete approbation of the public, who are not to be convinced, in the teeth of such evidences of guilt, that any one of the ac cused is innocent. The mother of Mrs. Dorey and Mrs. Saunders was the daughter of an aged soldier, of the name of Crene, a pensioner of the Government at Falmouth, and their father, William Richards, was the steward of a Lis bon Government packet. On the proclamation of peace Mr. Richards went to Lisbon to establish him self there, but he soon afterwards died in embarrassed circumstances in that city. The daughters had been brought up as milliners, but on their father's death the mother and daughte rs opened a china shop at Falmouth, where they beevremaine d li believe, to few years, when they removed, weas last to bN e s w: B o n Bid - ( s l t e r s e h e a t m , B , a i n t h S t o w in h e e r r s e e t t s h h e i y r e , carriedand Inu I ness of straw bonnet - make rs.

THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN. A letter received at Lloyd's, from their agents at Malta, of the 15th inst., of which a copy is subjoined, shows that this rover of the sea continues his lawless pursuit without hindrance or dread of detection. The mny cases of recent piratage in the Mediterranean, attributed to a Greek barque, who has escaped•the vigi lance of the men-of-war up to the date of the following letter, calls for very active measures for its suppression. The great injury which the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, has sustained by the repeated depre dations of this pirate, would insure much eclat to him who may be fortunate enough to capture her. Certain it is that the infamous but bold depredations, if not horrible butchery, of this vessel calls for very prompt measures for her seizure. " Malta, April 15.
