I design to Issue Supplementary Parts_(or double numbers) of THE ART-JOURNAL, each Part to consist of at least 52 quarto pages, and containg between 250 and 300 Engravings. These Engravings will be produced without cost to the ➢ianufac :urer. It will be only necessary for the Manufacturer to supply me with drawings ~r the principal objects he designs to exhibit, together with such information concerning his establishment as it may benefit him to communicate ; but it is essential that these orawings be received at the earliest possible period, in order that they may be in all re spects worthily executed and carefully printed. When these Illustrated Reports have been issued with THE ARr- JOURNAL, they will he collected into a volume, which Vo'urne will contain. probably, more than a Thousand Engravings, and become —as a Catalogue of its most beautiful and valuable contents— a per manent record of the Exhibition, and a key to the most meritorious Manufactures of all parts of the world. I have already visited the several States of Germany, and am about to visit Belgium, Holland, and France, and other countries, in order that these reports may be as perfect as possible. If you will be so good—with as little delay as your convenience will permit—to communicate with me on this subject, you will essentially iorwar,l my plan, and enable me to de justice to tour productions by obtaining Engravings of them in time to secure accuracy of copy and delicacy of 'finish. It may be well to add that none of the En graving's will appear until the Ist May, 1861. I have the honour to be - - Your faithful Servant, THE EDITOR OF THE ART-JOURNAL.

PORTSMOUTH, -WEDNESDAY.--The Helena 81omin, a screw steamer, 800 tons and 180-horse power, started by a Hamburgh" firm to run regularly be tween Southampton and New York, passed Spithead san her way to Southampton yesterday afternoon at 3 Pwrif. She left Hannburgb it 2 P.M. on Saturday, and thus accomplished her journey so far, against strong adverse winds a greater part:ar her way, in 60 hours, which augurs well for her passage across the At lantic. She is an iron vessel; built at Hull, has ex cellenta ccommodations, and is commanded by Cap tain P. N. Paulsen. She arrived at Southampton at 5 P.M., and embarked passengers to-day. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand, sailed this evening for the eastward. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30.—A frigate re ported to be her Majesty's frigate Cambrian, 40, Commodore James H.

TORQUAY, OCT. 29.—Since writing this morning the steam-frigate got under weigh, and, it is sup posed, went to Dartmouth, as she returned again at three o'clock P.M. She is a very fine vessel, and steams very fast. The fleet got under weigh as soon as the steamer was in sight this afteenoon, and were all standing to the westward under single reefed topsail; topgallant sails, jib, spanker, &c., at four o'clock, P.m. At five P.M. they were not in sight. The whole of the fleet got under weigh in a most slovenly manner, and not at all like ships-of-war, much less like ships-of-the-line. I sailed round the Friedland and Vainly, the two flag-ships. They are two beautiful vessels, and in very nice order about the hull, but not particularly so about the masts and rigging. In the latter there is a great want of neatness, and things do not look so snug as about our ships-of-the-line. The & French Admiral very kindly allo we d a ll w h o applierpermis sion to go on board, and numbers availed themselves of his kindness. THE LOOKER-ON, for NOVEMBER, price Twopence, edited by FRITZ and LIOLETT, is just pub- An officer from one of the ships landed here, and proceeded immediately by train to London. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) The French fleet, under the command of Vice-Ad miral Deschenes, consisting , of the Friedland, 120, flag-ship of the Vice• Admiral ; Valmy, 112, Rear- Admiral Dubourdiiu ; Henri IV., 100, Captain De G-ueydon ; Jemmappes, 100, Captain De Vareza ; In flexible, 90, Captain De Mouleon ; Jena, 90, Captain Larrien ; and the Caton (steam-sloop), Captain Gues nel, which left Cherbourg on the morning of the 26th, for Brest, and anchored in Torbay on Monday after noon, left at 430 r. on Tuesday, the wind being northerly and fine. It appears they have been de tained at Cherbourg by the weather, and we are in formed, when ordered to sea, hesitated to take the eastern passage, on account, as they allege, of shoal water.

Yesterday the second half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company was held at the London Tavern. Upwards of 400 shareholders were present. Mr. T. DAKIN, the chairman, expressed his regret that he bad been unavoidably absent from the extra ordinary general meeting held a'short time since. That meeting had been held at the instance of the di rectors to obtain authority to borrow money upon mortgage, if it should become necessary. The meet ing had manifested their confidence in the discretion of the directors by unanimously conferring upon them the powers they asked.—(Hear, bear.) They had made an appeal to their shareholders, which had been met by a prompt response, and they had ab• stained from exercising their borrowing power.— (Cheers.) He was happy to say the report the di rectors would present was of the most satisfactory description.—(Hear.) The company had been stig matized as a paper company., and it had been boldly prophesied by their enemies that a foot of gas would never be supplied, and that a single pipe never won! be laid.—(Laughter.) These false prophets hid failed in their predictions, and the fond hopes of the gas monopolists had been destroyed by the tri umphant success of the new company.—(Loud cheers.) The present history and the future pros pects of the company might be read by their opponents in the magnitude of the works at Bow, in the enor mous quantity of mains and pipes laid throughout the city, in the number of gas consumers who had already received, and the number who were waiting to take the gas as soon as they could be accommodated.— (Cheers.) The introduction of gas, as the means of furnishing artificial light for domestic and trade con sumption, was undoubtedly one of the most impor tant elements in human progress; but it had its dis advantages. When manufactured in densely-populous neighbourhoods by the old and imperfect methods of manufacture, it loaded the atmosphere with noxious vapours and scattered disease amongst the surround ing inhabitants.—(Cheers.) Public attention had been recently directed to the sanitary improvement of the city; and it was absurd to suppose that the vigilance of the Legislature, which interdicted petty nuisances in crowded parts of the metropolis, would long tolerate in the heart of the city the exist ence of a gigantic gas factory, which was ex pressly classed by the Building Act amongst the noxious and dangerous trades. The new com pany's works, amongst the chemical factories at Bow common, were free from those objections. The Com missioners of Sewers,who, with their officer of health, were laudably employed in removing from the city all nuisances prejudicial to the public health, must hail with satisfaction, upon sanitary grounds, apart from economical considerations, the new company, which had already supplied to the citizens a large amount of gas manufactured at Bow-common in substitution for that which would otherwise have been produced in the most crowded part of the most crowded city in the world.—(Cheers.) Here the SECRETARY ad the report, which, after an allusion t o th e oppo aMon encountered by the com pany, stated that tleidiLectors would not enter into the particulars of the eliffi`tultieewith which they had to contend, as negotiations or alettlement were going on at the suggestion of the Lordlikanceller. A sum of 8,5001. had been received on the last call and upon calls in arrear, and the directors confidently hoped ig would not be necessary to borrow money upon mort gage. - - WOOLWICH', OCT. 30.—Lieutenant the lion.

Chetwynd, to the Victory flag. ship at Portsmouth. Mr. William Drake, to be foreman at Chatham dockyard. t is rather a novelty to see a French fleet at anchor on the English coast, and Commander Storey, the In specting Commander of the Coast Guard at Torquay, it would appear, deemed it his duty to visit the 'Admiral's ship to discover the reason of their visit. He was informed that stress of weather obliged them to seek shelter under Berry Head; but the wind being at the time due north, and the weather moderate, the Gallant Commander was determined to watch their movements and to report them. The ships are stated to look in good order and clean, and handled their canvas tolerably quick on coining to an anchor. Spithead or Ply rnouth Sound may, on the next occasion, afford them fine- weather shelter, and give them an opportunity of seeing what is going on there. Had they visited the former place they would have seen in the harbour, ready for sea, three line-of-battle ships, two of them screws • Vengeance, 84 ; Blen heim, G 0; and H ogue, 60; the two former with ad vanced complements, which in the course of half an hour might be fitted up; and a steam•frigate, Retri bution, 22 ; and a steam-shop, Hecate, 6 ; besides a powerful reserve of steamers. Had th-y visited Plymouth they would have found there two line-of-battle ships, a 50-gun frigate, and a sloop, all in the Sound —namely, the Albion, 9U, three-fourths manned ; the Bellerophon, 78, fully maned ; and the Portland, 50, fully manned, with a good steam reserve in the harbour. It is as well to mention cur strength at the two ports to guard against mistakes or misrepresentations. The French 90 -gun ship Inflexible, it is said, will he put out of commission at Brest, and her officers and crew turned over to an 120-gun ship just launched —the Bayard. The Turkish frigate Mirat Zafir, Captain Mehemet Bey, saluted the Governor yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, with 21 guns, to which the platform battery replied, and the flag of Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel with 17 guns, to which the Victory replied with a like number. Captain Mehemet Bey, with Captain Bey of the Suray Bahri, brig, with another officer, with Lewis Vandenbourg, Rt, and Mr. Beattie, the Turkish consul at Portsmouth, landed at noon, and paid their respects to Admiral Capel and the Lieu tenant-Governor, Lord F. Fitzclarence. These ships have been 21 days from Gibralter, and it is sup posed they will remain all the winter in England, either at Portsmouth or Plymouth. The frigate mounts 50 guns, nearly all brass, and has a comple ment of 363 men ; she looks sma ll and clumsy. The brig is a finer-looking vessel ; she has 20 brass guns, and a complement of about 140 men. It was expected that Captain Slade, R.N., would be in one of these vessels, but it appears that. Captain Mehemet Bey did not even know such a person. The Admiralty have ordered bilge ways to be lent from the Woolwich dockyard to Mare and Co., of Blackwall, who are building for the navy the High flyer stean-frigate. Mr. George L. Cole, to be measurer at Woolwich dockyard. REVIEW OF No. 10, " The one be ore us certainly deserves the attention of the public.

Frolic, Hi, brig, Commander Vansittart, arrived from a cruise in search of pirates on Sat ur d ay, and left on the f o ll ow i ng d ay , t o relieve the Racer, 12, Commander Beddoes, at Corfu. Volage, surveying vessel, Captain Graves, from Sula Bay, and Research tender, Lieutenant-Com mander Lord J. Brown, arrived on the 18th, and having taken pratique on Saturday, the Volage sailed for England on Monday night, and another of her tenders, the Auxiliary cutter from Athens, also ar rived on Friday last. She and the Research are laid up in ordinary, and orders have been given to dis mantle them. THE WEST INDIES. Diligence, naval transport, Master-Commander Mitchell, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Bermuda, laden with old iron, copper, and some other old stores. She left that island on the 2d inst. Scorpion, 6, surveying vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander G. B. Laurence, was the only man of war there. The Commander•in-Chief, Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, was expected at Bermuda from Hali fax, in the Wellesley, 72, Captain Goldsmith, about the 15th inst. Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, is fast filling up her increased advanced complement. She entered 50 blue jackets one day this week, and as soon as the order is issued for completing her crew to 820, she will not be long getting them. Apollo, 8, troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, was off Madeira from Portsmouth with artillery fur Bar badoes, &c,, on the sth inst. She had a terrible blow ing time of it getting out of the Channel. Banshee, late Holyhead steam-packet, Master- Commander Smethett, has been ordered to be paid off at Woolwich —those of her crew who reside t Holyhead and Kingstown being sent thither by railway. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baines, C. 8., was in spected and exercised on Tuesday afternoon, in Ply mouth Sound, by the Port Admiral, Sir W. H. Gage, G.C.H., and was ordered to be towed into Barnpool yesterday to be paid off all standing, with out any of her stores being removed. It is pro bable, however, that she will not be paid off this week, and she may have another cruise before she discharges her crew. The Diligence bas brought home Mr. Wearn, boat. swain, promoted from the Scorpion, about three inva.. tided convicts, and four military prisoners (privates). She leaks a little, and will probably go into harbour. The convicts are to be landed immediately. She ex changed longitudes with a French man-of-war steamer on the 4th. Caradoc, late Holyhead steam-packet, went out of Portsmouth harbour to try her speed at the measured mile in Stokes' Bay, but the weather was occasionally so thick that the marks could not be seen. She did not return into harbour till late. We understand that a trial between the Banshee and the Caradoc was offi cially ordered, but by some influence it was counter manded. One of. Mr. Seaward's partners was down at Portsmouth yesterday, to see the working of the Caradoc' s engines. It is too bad that certain influ- Tee engineer's report stated, that the works were nearly in a state of completion, and that the expense would, in Mr. Croll's (the engineer) opinion, not ex ceed the estimate. The delay which had occurred in getting the services and meters fixed in time to meet the demand of the consumers throughout the city was ascribed to delays in casting various parts of the ma chinery, partly from the negligence and treachery which had been detected on the part of some of the workmen engaged in laying the pipes, and partly by the obstructions occasioned by the suit instituted by the rival City gas company. Notwithstanding all these impediments to the full development of an anti cipated supply, up to last night upwards of 2,800 con sumers, burning 15,000 lights, had been supplied with the company's gas, which was acknowledged to be of a superior illuminating power, and, with a few ex ceptions in the districts supplied by the city company, the quantity had been ample. The report concluded with some remarks on the undue pressure alleged to have been used by the old city company, to which the gas-fittings in use were adapted, so that it appeared as if the company's gas (being placed under a mode rate pressure) was deficient in quantity—a defect which would be remedied by an examination and al teration of the fittings. The report was unanimously adopted. In reply to a question from 111 r. Machin as to the remuneration of the directors, The CHAIRMAN said that was a question entirely for the consideration of the shareholders. The sub ject had been mooted at the board. Th e di rectors had laboured assiduously in the service of the com pany for two years, and, so confid en t were they of the undertaking paying a dividend of ten per cent., charging their ga s a t 4 s. per thousand, that they were perfectly willing to continue their services without any remuneration until th e shareholders should realise a dividend of ten per cent., and theyleave it then it to the shareh o ld ers to assess the value of their ser vicels at their own est i mate.—(Hear, hear.) i‘ r. CHARLES PEARSON reminded the meeting that although he had retired from the direction, and had therefore n o p ersonal interest in the matter under consideration, he had a n h onorary seat at the board. at the request of the citizens of the various wardmotes held last December, and in that capacity he had ven tured to differ from the other directors in the resolu tion they had adopted respecting their own remune ration. At the meeting of the board be had been silenced by those arguments but not convinced ; end, as the subject had been broached by an independent shareholder, he should venture to repeat the argu ments which he had in vain urged to the directors themselves ; and he would, if necessary, take the sense of the meeting upon his proposal, which was to present the directors with a small—a very small—re muneration for their past and present services with an increase as the interests of the company advanced. The report that had been just read informed the meet ing that the directors bad, at his recommendation, deemed it wise to adopt that course in fixing the salaries of their clerks and officers ; and he did not think ;it would detract from their own dignity if they applied the same principle to themselves. Of one thing he was quite certain—the rumuneretion of the directors ought to be at once settled. The proposal of the chairman was very liberal and very honour able, but with submission to him it was not very business like, and their calumniators, so far from giving them credit for their generosity, would use it as a peg to hang an additional slander upon.—(Hear.) Already, as he u n d ers t oo d, some an onymous calum niator had imp u t e d s i n i ster mot i ves t o the directors, and had represented that they divided 2,0001. a year amongst themselves. The directors held amongst them 30,0001. in paid-up shares of the company. It was absurd, therefore, to suppose that they would not be influ ence d b y th e stronge st desire to secure their own interest s by p romo ting the general interests of the whole body of the s hareholders.—(liar.) It was very likely that the exertions of the directors, both collectively and individually, would be as gr ea t f or t h e protection of their own property without any oth er remuneration as could be called into action by any other description of stimulus. It would be, however, wise to deal with the directors as men of business, pre cisely the same as if they , had no int erest i n the company beyond their qualification shares.—([sear. ) There was not a single individual engaged in the ac tual operations of the company, from the chairman to the door-keeper, who doubted the fact of their ablity to sell superior gas at 45., and pay a dividend of ten per cent., provided they economised the expenditure, and used due diligence to extend their consumption. The public at large m ightdoubt th a t , some of the share holders might doubtit, and it might be that the confi dence of the directors and officers would not be realized, and that 9,8, 7, or even 6 per cent. m i g h t nct f or a time be realised, from circumstanc es over n hid] they might have no control, and whi c h yet i nvolve d no im peachment of either their healthfulness or their judg ment. Under such circumstances ought the directors, the servants of the company, to have no allowance to defray the charges of coach-hire, coffee-house charges, ences should be allowed to prevail with the Admi ralty to nullify th e i r own or d ers . Th e C ara d oc i s the ex-Surveyor's vessel, it will be remembered. The Banshee is the child of his rival. Dauntless, 24, screw•frigate, Captain Halsted, left Queenstown, on Monday morning, at eight o'clock, for Lisbon. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Command e r T a th am , is only about half-a-doz-n blue jackets short. She is reported to be complete at Woolwich to-morrow. She will call at Devonport and be paid advance on her way to the Brazils. Hogue, 60, guard-ship, Captain Macdougal, took out her powder and live shells at Portsmouth yesterday morning, and is to go into harbour to-day fur the purpose of having her leak in the run exa mined. It is only a trifling leak, and is occasioned chiefly by the hydraulic power with which she is fitted to lift her screw out of the water.- Mariner, 12, Commander Mathison, having been inspected in the Sound by Flog Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, was towed into Devonport har bour on Tuesday to be paid off. Three invalids and five of the crew died on the passage home from China. C ha A s P b E roo o B l! h ; GOODKoine ditHes to OPEth.

He proposed 500/. a Sear from the commence ment until they should, at the price of 4s. per thou sand, pay the dividend of ten per cent. out of the pro fits ; after which he would propose an allowance of 1,0001. per annum, with a further addition of 5001. per annum upon their paying a ten per cent. divi dend, atter reducing the charge to 3s. 4d. per thou sand, which he was confident would be effected within two years from that day.—(Great cheering.), Mr. PEARSON having proposed a resolution to that effect, Mr. MACHIN felt the liberality of the conduct of the directors in proposing to suspend the receipt of any recompense for their services until the dividend of 10 per cent. should be realised. He, however, had been convinced by the reasoning of Mr. Pearson that some pecuniary acknowledgment should at once be awarded them for their valuable exertions.—(Hear, hear.) Whether the sum proposed by Mr. Pearson for that purpose was an adequate remuneration might be doubted. He should second the motion if it would be acceptable to the directors.--(Hear.)

An interesting report on the south-western har bours of Ireland, and their respective capabilities for a transatlantic packet-station, has lately been pre sented to the Cork and Bandon Railway Company by Mr. Nixon, their engineer. The harbours examined were four, namely, Berehaven, Bantry, Crookhaven, and Dunmanus, and they all present advantages of an important kind. Berehaven is at the entrance of Bantry Bay, forty miles in longitude west of Galway, and from its large area, and the great facilities which the surrounding coast affords for making its defences, it is pointed out as a most commanding position both for a naval and a Transatlantic packet-station. Bantry harbour is situated twenty miles up the bay above Berehaven, to which, however, it is inferior both in respect to extent as well as to ingress and egress with adverse winds. Crookbaven is situated on the most southern promontory of Ireland, and its longi• tude is 30 miles west of Galway. It is small, as com pared with Berehaven or Bantry, but it is particularly safe and easy of access in all winds, while its eligibi lity as a packet station is shown by the tact that it is more frequented by Transatlantic traders than any other harbour on the southern coast of Ireland. It lies in a direct course between the coast of America and that of England ; the neighbouring coast is well lighted from the Fastnet Rock and Rock Island, and it is said to be generally free from those fogs which so frequently occur on the western shores of the island. The fourth harbour, that of Dunmanus, is but little, known. It is situated on the eastern side of Dunmanus Bay, and is exceedingly small, and rarely frequented. Its position, however, is very fthourable• for a railway communication with Bandon. Each of these harbours, from their southern position,, would present the advantage of being suitable as a port of call, so that steamers might leave London or Liver• pool with a much ttnaller supply of coals than under present circumstances. At Berehaven and Crookhaven this would especially be the case. With regard to the means of connecting all or any of the various points thus described with the pre sent railway communication between Dublin and Bandon, Mr. Nixon recommends the construction of a line from Bandon to Bantry, with single rails, which should branch off in two routes as it approaches the latter town, the one to Berehm en and the other to Dunmanus and Crookhaven. From Bandon to Dere haven would be 641 miles, and the cost is estimated at 642,7501. From Bandon to Crookhaven would be 50 miles, at a cost of 395,0001. Supposing, however, the entire plan ca r r i e d out, 30 miles of thA road (namely, from Bandon to within five miles of Bantry, casting 225,0001.) would be common to both routes. Mr. Nixon concludes his report as follows :—" In con clusion, I have to offer a few remarks on the great na tional benefits which would arise by the construction of railways in those localities through which the pro jected lines would pass. I need scarcely remark that the employment of the labouring poor is the only means of reducing the rates which in the western and populous districts of the county (Cork) is a matter of the greatest importance to the ratepayers. And the general employment created, as well by the construc tion as the maintenance of lines of railway, would so reduce the pressure on the labour market, that all classes would unquestionably be greatly benefited by the carrying out of large undertakings of the kind. No better proof of this need be given than the fact that during the construction of the Cork and Bandon Railway several electoral divisions in its vicinity had their poor so generally employed that no rate was made in those districts during the time the works were going on, and the increased traffic caused by the completion of such works must lead. to permanent advantages, both to the agricultural and commercial classes of the district,which cannot be over estimated." —Times. EMIGRATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—The prosperous state of the country, and the want of subjects of interest to occupy public atten tion, seem to make the present a fitting time to bring forward any plan by which a retrograde social movement may be prevented, and the circumstances of our labouring classes permanently improved. Emi gration is so universally admitted to be the simplest and easiest means to this end, that I need not occupy your paper with arguments to prove it. Emigration ha., however, in some sort fall en i n t o d escre di t, be cause it has been presented to us in two phases only, either as the indiscriminate shovelling of paupers out of this country into another, or as an elaborate and expensive process, which cannot be carried out except under peculiar conditions, the success of which is by many esteemed problematical, and which can never be adopted on a larger scale. I have for many years past been endeavouring to arrange some system which shall occupy a middle position, make the labourer a landholder, and yet not leave the capitalist without labour; be inexpensive enough in its details to admit of universal adoption, yet afford opportunity for the investment of large capital ; give to the emigrant ultimately the freedom of mind and independence resulting from the know- ledge that what he possesses The has bought and paid for, and return proper interest on the capital required—a system which should be at once social and remunerative, which should offer as much inducement to the small capitalist as the labourer, not only from the cheapness of land and prospect of success in the mere business of life, but because it would afford religious and mental instruction and medical aid, without which the voice of the world has most justly decided that emigration is a serious, if not an unmiti gated, evil to the emigrant, whatever relief his ab sence may prove to those whom he has left behind. The expense of the voyage to Australia or New Zealand, and the price and character of the land in those countries, unfit them for any such purpose. Our North American colonies are, therefore, those only to which we can look with hope. Lately " annexation" has, if I mistake not, been a bugbear to many ; it may be doubted if even her Majesty's Government did not share the panic ; and, indeed, annexation will take place in ore sense, though not as they supposed. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have, it appears, determined to connect themselves commercially to Maine and Mastachussetts, by accepting the proposal made by those states to continue the line of railway from Portland to Halifax, and make that port the Atlantic terminus, at least for passengers and mails. That in some way Halifax would arrive at this pre eminence was geographically certain, though our rulers appear never to have recognised it. It was less to be expected that the Yankees would have done so. They are, however, wise in their generation; let us profit by their wisdom. The additional value thus conferred on the province of New Brunswick, together with the wise decision of its Government with respect to the sale of waste lands, may induce others to think, as I have long done, from intimate personal knowledge of the cha racter and resources of that colony (in which, how ever, I have no other interest whatever than arises from this knowledge), that it presents advantages for emigration afforded by no other, and is specially adapted for the abode of Englishmen. The accounts given in th e di spatc h es o f Si r Ed mun d H ea d to Lord Grey, with those of Dr. Gesner and others, may satisfy any on e that, notwithstanding the rigour of the winter—which has, however, been greatly exag- 'FEE 112th Number of the HYGEIST and MEDICAL REFORMER for NOVEMMR, contains : The 'testimonies of :Medical Men in Condemnation of their own Craft.—Address of the British College of Health.—llygeian Lectures. —liomceodathy and Puffery.— t.ctter on the Progress of,llygeism.

It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so crequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured.

Reception hems daily till Ave. Evenings, seven till nine, 10 Argyll-place, Regent-street. ,00 Now, the reser ve d thi r d, or 16 ,000 acres at £4 105.,0 would produce 8,4001., and thus a balance of 3,7401. would appear on the transaction as a margin for con tingencies and as interest for money employed. It appears also that a capital of .5,000/. would be suffi cient to commence with. 1 will not enter now into minor details, such as why the sums in the account have been assumed, my object being simply to give an example and excite inquiry into the system; nor will I show the balance that would accrue from the lab„ur-fund. I am at present merely sketching an outline. The accounts of such an emigration have, however, been worked out, and can be produced. Nothing has as yet been said as to the expense of passage, &c. I propose that this should be paid by the parish from which the emigrants are sent. I find that the average cost of a pauper is 61. 10s. per an num, inclusive of casuals. Any parish would, there fore, be glad to give that sum to get any one perma nently off its list. The passage would not, if pro perly managed, cost more than 41. 10s., and I would reserve the remaining 21. for the purposes of religion and education, and fur the supply of medical aid and supervision. This would give 2,4001. One clergy man and one medical man should have charge of the emigrants for each five years of the emigration, and I would give them for that term 1001. each per annum. This would require for ten years 2,000/., and the remaining 4001. might be employed iu building their houses, providing their outfit, stock, &c. They should have 250 acres of land from the reserved 2,000, and the 1,000 remaining be devoted to public purposes, with the fraction over and above .50 acres to each emigrant family; and if the general supervision of the whole were committed to them, further advan tages might be afforded them from the surplus of the labour-fund of the emigrants. I have no hesitation in affirming that good men from both professions might be obtained on those terms. I believe, also, that et the expiration of five years each half of the settlement would be able to provide them a a suffi cient remuneration for their services, as well as for the instruction of the children, who would then be growing up. The only difficulty attending this plan would be found in winding up the accounts, which would spread over a period of fifteen years. This, however, is on the . supposition that the emigration should then cease, and should be limited to the number I have assumed. As, however, neither would be desirable, the advantages to be derived being in proportion to the extent to which the scheme is developed, this need not be considered. If I have said enough to show that a mixed emigration could be carried on at so trifling an outlay without loss, and provided with all requisites for its success, I have said enough. For intruding this on the notice of the public I make no apology. If the scheme is a good one, no apology is needed; if not, the intention may excuse the defect. I may remark, however, that those con versant with the feelings of the labouring men of the present day know well how often the thought re curs to them in their difficulties, that it is the duty of the Government, or those who have the means, to mark out some scheme of emigration for their relief. I desire to show them that some at least of their countrymen are neither ignorant nor careless of their wants; I would escape the imputation of neglecting to forward so desirable an object. I remember that the only wants our North American colonies can ever feel—capital and labour—may by this means be sup plied, and that the mother country could not adept more certain means of retaining the affection of her children than by ministering to those wants. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, C. G. NICOLAY 9, Sloane-terrace, Sloane-street. MONEY MARKET—The premium on gold at Paris is 41 per mile, which, at the E ng li s h Mi nt price of 3/. 17s. 10A. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.26; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.20, it follows that gold is 0.24 per cant, dearer in Paris than in London. By advice* from Ilumburgh the price of gold is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. 10 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.7; and the ex change at llamburgh on London at short being 13.7 i, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. cicarcr in Ham burgh than in London. Tie course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 11(4 par cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 ner cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 1.17 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leavesed States. ap t r e o s. fit on the importation of gold from the United BEEF FE.031 THE VATICAN.—Among the recent im pertatlons of foreign ;J. ] eo,mthietommoe,st though remarkable the i b s u t l l l i a fr t om o f n bu c ll at tineetx.ll traon rill probably be the more useful of the two.

Of course, tho rail road to which I have referred, placing, as it wil do, the capital, Fredericton, i within eleven or twelve days of London, adds much to its other ad vantages; but the arrangements recently made for sale of waste lands give it an interest' peculiarly its own. Its Government, under, we may believe, the inspiration of Sir Edmund Read, has been the first to acknowledge the truth of the dictum of the old Grecian, " That an inhabited coun try is indeed valuable, but one destitute of inhabitants is destitute of value also," and, having determined to look at land only us an inducement to emigration, have placed a nominal value only upon it—or rather land is given to those who will pay for the expense of the survey and for opening the necessary communica tion. This Patter they may do themselves, under the superintendence of the Government surveyors ; and thus lard of the best quality is to be had there for one shilling and ot.e nay's work on the roads per acre. New Brunswick has thus taken the lead among the colonies in offering land at a price available fur gene ral-emigration, and our Government at home has an ticipated the step necessary to enable us to take ad vantage of its offer by providing, by Act of Parlia ment, that parishes may borrow money for the pur roes of (migration on the security of the poor -rates. With the technicalities of this .1 need not trouble you, but it is quite clear that the thing may be done. It is not, of course, necessary that the plan to be proposed should be put in execution by the parochial authorities. It might be as well—perhaps bettee—. managed by a body of gentlemen forming a committee for the purpose. It might be done by Govern ment. It might even be done, and well done, by a body of shareholders intending themselves to emi grate and settle on the land—holding, say, fifty shares of 1001. each. But as our guardians of the poor are those whose duty it is to see not only that the poor be provided for, but that the provision be made at the least possible expense and in the most efficacious way, I have taken the liberty to presume the possibility that they may do their duty. Let us, then, suppose a case, select a locality, and arrange our emigration. The River Tobique, an affluent of St. John's from the north, presents, perhaps, more desirable features for settlement than any other portion of New Bruns wick. The valley, extending about twenty-five miles from its confluence with the parent river to the mouth of its affluent, the Gulquac, is remarkable for its beauty and fertility, respecting which I need say no more than that its soil varies from red sandstone to limestone, and that it possesses vast stores of gypsum. Let us suppose permission obtained from the colonial government to take up this valley for the purposes of emigration, and estimate its contents at about 50,000, and reserving 2,000 ; say, for convenience of calcula tion, 48,000 acres. I should propose to place on this land in ten years 1,200 persons, or 120 annually. I presume those se lected to be married couples, and take no account of children, as the extra expense of a few would be of no moment, and it is desirable, on every account, that as few should go out as possible. Each couple should have fifty acres of land, which, allowing a fraction for roads, &c., would be about two-thirds of the whole; a free passage; food for so long as they were without return of crops from their lands ; a log hut, and im plements of labour. The question then arises, How are these advantages to be paid for? As whatever might be provided for the use of the emigrants, the cost of land included, would be paid to their ac. count, and a return, either 'in money or labour, re quired, before they obtain full possession of their land, it is obvious that the ultimate expense would be nil, provided the labour of the emigrants, in the event of their not being able to offer other payment, be ap plicable to good account. It is for this purpose that one-third of the land is reserved. This I should put up for sale to settlers with capital, and the work re quired in the first instance by the local government being performed by the emigrants, the presence of labour and other advantages of the settle ment might justify the conclusion that an average price of 103. per acre might easily be obtained for it a conclusion confirmed by the experience of the Canada Company, and, indeed, of all land sales in the provinces. But the labour of the emigrants is yet further available; it may be em• ployed in providing the log huts, and, probably, th e provisions n ecessary f dr succeeding emigrations. I presume, therefore, tharthe money expense of the emigration might be stated as follows : Cost of 50,000 acres of land .. £2,500 One.year's fook. for first two years' emi grants, i. e., 240, at-61. 10s. huts, Etc., for one year's emigrants ,bt lie it 1 b 3g 4 ° ....' ; 01 eslij I 04 00 , 04 le 1/ , `,, ° SI Cr Aj JO : 1 41 ; ise t 1 nA bat leli o l : al i oe 1 dor. . o 1 , , b ° 04 Xl4° ol f°' s a Jo r rP
