I design to issue Supplementary Parts (or doublemumbers) of T111 , 1,4-Ii.T,JOURNAL, each rift to consist orit least 52 quarto pages, and coutaing between 250 and 300 Engravings. These Engravings will be produced without cost to the Manufac turer. It will be only necessary for the Manufacturer to supply me with drawings s 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.tlic 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 AR 1 . - JOURNA L, they will be collected into a volume, which Vo ume will contain. probably, more than a Thousand Engravings, and become —as a Catalogue of its most belutitul and valuable conteati— a per manent record of the Exhibition, and a key to the most meritorious Manufactures of all parts of the world. I hare 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 forward my plan, and enable me to de justice to your 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 gravings will appear until the Ist May, 1151. _ . I have the honour to be Your faithful Servant, THE EDITOR OF THE ART-JOURNAL.

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 topsails, topgallant sails, jib, spanker, &c.,-at four o'clock, P.M. At five r.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 Valmy, 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 to snug as about our ships-of-the-line. The French Admiral very kindly allowed all who applied permis sion to go on board, and numbers availed themselves of his kindness. ..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, near- Admiral Dubourdieu ; Henri IV., 100, Captain De Gueydon ; Jemmappes, 100, Captain De Vareze ; In flexible, 90, Captain De Moulecn ; Jena, 90, Captain Lahien ; and the Caton (steam-sloop), Captain Gues lid, which left Cherbourg on the morning of the 26th, for Brest, and anchored in Torbay on Monday after noon, left at 4 30 P. M. 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. It 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 Admirers ship to discover the reason of their visit: He was informed that stress of weather obliged them to seek shelter under Berry Head ;1 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 coming to an anchor. Spialead or Plymouth Sound may, on the next occasion, afford them fine-weather shelter, and give them an opportunity of seeing what is going on there. Llad•they visited the fdrmer place they would' have seen in the harbour, ready for sea, three line-of-battle ships, two of them screws.; Vengeance, 8 . 4 ; Blen heim, 60 ; anti Hogue, 60; the two further with ad vanced complements, which in the course of half an hour might be fitted up ; and a steatn-frigate, Retri bution, 22 ; and a steam-sloop, Hecate, 6 ; besides a powerful reserve of steamers. Had they visited Plymouth they would have found there two lire-of-battle ships, a 50-gun frigate, and a sloop, all in the Sound—namely, the A;bion ' 9U, three-fourths manned ; the B e llerophon, 78, fully manned ; and the Portland, 50, fully manned, with a good steam reserve in the harbour. It is as well to mention our strength at the two ports to guard against mistakes or misrepresentations. The French 90 .gun ship Inflexible, it is said, will be 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 Zifir, 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 gulls, 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, E-q , and Mr. Beattie, the Turkish consul at Portsmoutn, 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 small 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 Wool% kill dockyard to Mare and Co., of Blackwell, who are building for the navy the High flyer steam-trigate. 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 for 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 at Holyhead and Kingstown being sent thither by rail way. 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. . _ 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 ences should be allowed to prevail with the Admi ralty to nullify their own orders. The Caradoc is 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, Commander Tatham, is only about half-a-dozen 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 for 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 Flag Captain Sir T homas M aitland, 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. Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, will go into the new steam-basin at Portsmouth to morrow; and if the Odin, steam-frigate, that now oc cupies the basin dock, be ready to come out on additional piece of false k ee l a b a f t , an d a l so a pi e ce Saturday the Retributio n w ill b e t a k en i n , t o have an put on her sternpost to throw her rudder further aft. We have not heard that her masts are to be moved— they certainly look misplaced. SUARPSHOoTER.—The Brazilian slaver Polka, cap tured by the screw-Rchooner Sharpshooter, Lieu tenant Commander Bailey, off Purt Machie, on the coast of Brazil, June 23, arrived at St. Helena, Aug. 28, in charge of Mr. Milne, master's-assistant. Sprightly, steam-tend er , Master Commander Allen, arrived at Portsmouth from Devonport yesterday morning, bringing up a few supernumeraries. Wasp, 14, screw. sloop, Commander Crozier, arrived at Portsmouth, yesterday afternoon, and saluted the flag of the Commander.in-Chief. She went up through the Needles; consequently, it is supposed that in the very thick foggy weather that we have had she overshot her port. She will probably proceed to Plymouth to-day. A number of persons have been awaiting her arrival at Portsmouth. WATERWITCH.—The Brazilian brig Anna, de tained by the Waterwitch, 8, Commander Quin, on the 14th of August, off Logito, having slave equip ments, arrived at St. Helena, August 24, for adjudi cation. She was in charge of Lieutenant Grylls. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--The Helena Stoma!), 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 on her way to Southampton yesterday afternoon at 3 P.M. She left Hamburgh at 2 P.M. on Saturday, and thus accomplished her journey so far, against strong adverse winds a greater part of 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, midis commanded by Cap tain P. N. Paulsen. She arriv e d 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. Pluttridge, from the East Indies, entered the Sound this morning, and . saluted the Port Admiral.

Upwards of 400 shareholders were present. Mr. T. DAKIN, the chairman, expressed his regret that he had been unavoidably absent from the extra ordinary general meeting held a short time, since. That meting 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, hear.) 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 pOver.— , (Cheers.) He was happy to say the report the di rectors would present was of the most satisractory 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 ,would be laid.—(Laughter) • These false prophets had failed in their predictions, and the fond hopes pf the gas monopolists had 'been destroyed by the tri , ' umphant success of the new company.— Loud cheers.) The present history and the futur 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 bad 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 coml pany's works, amongst the chemical factories at Bow common, were free from those objections• The Com missioners of Sewers,whQ, 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 read the report, which, after an allusion to the opposition encountered by the com pany, stated that the directors would not enter into the particulars of the difficulties with which they had to contend, as negotiations for a settlement were going on at the suggestion of the Lord Chanceller. A sum of 8,5001. bad been received on the last call and upon calls in arrear, and the directors confidently hoped it would not be necessary to borrow money upon mort gage. Tne engineer's report stated, that the works were nearly in a state of completion, and that the expen'e would, in Mr. Croll'A (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 ga•, 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 Mr. 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. The directors had laboured assiduously in the service of the com pany for two years, and, so confident were they of the undertaking paying a dividend of ten per cent., charging their gas at 4s. per thousand, that they were perfectly willing to continue their services without any remuneration until the shareholders should realise a dividend of ten per cent., and they would then leave it to the shareholder s t o assess the value of their ser vices at their own estimate.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CHARLES PEARSON reminded the meeting that although he had retired from the direction, and had therefore no personal interest in the matter under consideration, he had an honorary seat at the board at the reque s t o f th e c i t i zens 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 he had been silenced by those arguments but not convinced ; and, 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 rumuneration 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, go far from giving them credit for their generosity, *mild use it as a peg to hang an additional slander upon.—(Bear.) Already, as he understood, some anonymous calum niator had imputed sinister motives to 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 influenced by the strongest desire to secure their own interests by promoting the general interests of the whole body of the s hareholders.—(Hear.) It was very likely that the exertions of the directors, both collectively and individually, would be as great for the protection of their own property without any other 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 t h e sam e as if they had no inter es t i n t h e company beyond their q.,alification shares.—( Rear.) There Has not a single individual engaged in the ac tual operati:ms of the company, from the chairman to the doorkeeper, who doubted the fact of their ability 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 consu m pti on . The public at large !night doubt that, some of the share holders might doubt it, 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. might nct for a time be realised, from circumstances over which they might have no control, and which yet involved 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, j , 1850. [PRICE SD. and those inevitable petty charges to which men were subjected, who once, twice, and sometimes thrice in a week quitted their business or their domestic hearths to transact the business of a trading company ? (Hear, lifer.) It would not be creditable to the Ehareholders of a great and powerful company, as the New Company had already become, to permit the directors to place them under such an obligation.— (Hear, hear.) Ile would propose a vote which, while it would enable the directors to defray the petty cash expenses to which he had referred, would obviously be an adt quate recompense for their labours. Ile proposed 500/. a year 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 1,000!. per annum, with a further addition of 500/. 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 rent. 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.) The CHAIRMAN said that the directors having stated their confidence in the speedy realisation of a ten per cent. dividend, and their readiness to suspend all re muneration until that event, they would leave that matter where the deed of incorporation left it—with the shareholders.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. Virtue was appointed one of the auditors, and, other business having been transacted, the meet ing adjourned. AMERICAN PACKET STATION IN IRELAND. 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. Crookhaven 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 fact 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 arid that of England ; the neighbouring coast is well lighted from the Fastnet Rock and Bock 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 favourable 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 smaller 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 Bere ha‘en would he 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 carried out, 30 miles of the road (namely, from Bandon to within five miles of Bantry, cisting 225,000/0 would be common to both routes. Mr. Nixon concludes his report as follows :—" In con clusion I have to offer a few r e m ar k s on th e great na tional I;enetit4 which would arise by the construction of railways in those loca'ities 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 unquestiouably 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 traflic 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. SlB,—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 has, however, in some sort fallen into descredit, 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 arrarge 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 he 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 anunmiti 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 one sense, though not as they supposed. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have, it appears, determined to connect themselves commercially to Maine and Massachussette, 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 the dispatches of Sir Edmund Head to Lord Grey, with those of Dr. Gesner and Others, may satisfy any one that, notwithstanding the rigour of the winter—which has, however, been greatly exag- THE MEDITERRANEAN. A week's 7 larer CiaTes from Malta (Oct. 2) gives us a few additional movements of our men of war. Frolic, 16, brig, Commander Vansittart, arrived from a cruise in search of pirates on Saturday, and left on the following day, to relieve the Racer, 12, Commander Beddoes, at Corfe. Volage, surveying vessel, Captain Graves, from Stria Bay, and Research tender, Lieutenant-Com rnandei Lord J. Brown, arrived on the 18th, an d 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. The Diligence has brought home . MrlVearn, boat swain, promoted from the Scorxiors about three inva lided qonvicte, and four 14 1 tiso3itro (privates). She leaks a little, ail wiiiiirotAbis, go into harbour. The convicts are to bo landed immediately. She ex changed longitudes with a French man-of-war steamer on the 4th. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The Mariner has brought house dates to the 31st of August. The Commander-in-Chief, Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, 36, was still absent, and Dart, 3, brigan tine tender, and Dee, steam-vessel, cruizing in the Mozambique. Commander Fishbourne, of the Hermes, 6, steam sloop, was senior officer at Simon's Bay, the only other ship being the depot, Seringapatam, Master- Commander Russell. The Hermes was to take the Governor and Lady Smith to Algoa Bay in September. Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, was at Mauritius. Pantaloon, 8, Commander Hyde Parker, left Simon's Bay August 16, after a long refit, for the Mozambique, to resume her cruising service for slavers. She put into Algoa Bay on the 21st, and sailed again on the 24th August. SIIIP NE WS. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Meme, ct. 24.

Of course., the rail road to which I have referred, placing, as it will do, the capital, Fredericton, 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 Head, has been the first to acknowledge the truth of tne dictum of the old Grecian, " That an inhabited coun try is indeed "aluable, but one destitute of inhabitants is deztiture of value also," and, having determined to look at land only as an inducement to emigration, have placed a nominal value only upon it—or r:,ther land is given to those who will pay tor the expense of the survey arid for opening the necessary communica tion. This latter they may do themselves, under the superintenden c e of the Government surveyors ; and thus land of the best quality is to be had there for one shilling and one day's work on the roads per acre. New Brunswick has thus taken the lead among th e colonies in offering land nt a price available for gene ral emigration, and our Government at home has an ticipated the step necessary to enable u' to take ad vantage of its otnr by providing, by Act of Parlia ment, that parishes may borrow money for the pur poses of emigration on the security of the poor .rates. With the technicalities of this I need nut 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 better-_. 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 otber 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 10s. 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 necessary f or succeeding emigrations. I presume, therefore, that the money expense of the emigration might be stated as follows : Cost of 50,000 acres of land One year's food for first two years' emi grants, i. e., 240, at 61. 105. Huts, &c., for one year's emigrants ..... • £4,660 Now, the reserved third, or 16,000 acres at 103., would produce 8,4001., and thus a balance of 3,7401. wuuid 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 w ill 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 1 show the balance that would accrue from the labour-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 Cl. 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 4/. 10s., and I would reserve the remaining 21. for the purposes of religion and education, and for 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 100/. each per annum. This would require for ten years 2,0001., and the remaining 4001. might be employed iu building their houses, providing their outfit, stock, sze. 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 at 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 excase 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 leant 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.
