Woolwich Common, on her Majesty's Birth-day, presented a scene of no ordinary character. In other words, the spectacle ou the " Common" was not a " common" spectacle. Thousands and tens of thousands congregated to "view" the "review," and the general effect of the scene was truly beautiful. On all public occasions like that under consideration, there is an abundant sprinkling of HYAM'S novel fashions, and it must have been evident to every one present that while the "nine-pounders" were being heard on the common, the " one-pounders" of Hyam and Co , in the shape of " one-pound Coats," were seen in every direc tion. Not a " train" arrived but what conveyed " trains" of liyallil and Co.'s supporters, whose elegant dress vied with the beauty of the military equipments. This review, it appears, was highly satisfactory to the inspecting officers, and it may be remarked that a " review" of Hyam and Co.'s operations will lead to a similar result with the public. It was evi dent that thousands, to show their " loyalty for royalty," had as sumed new attire, and it was equally evident that Hyam and Co. had been selected in preference to any others in the trade. The " Com mon" displayed what may be termed a " common wealth" of station, insomuch that those invidious distinctions by which rank and fashion were at one time defined were completely removed. It must have occurred to every observer that Hyam and Co. had "stolen a march on competition, and that monopoly had had to ' that nearly every spectator (th roug h the beneficial was enabled to mak e so res p ec t a ble an SY 'S s l t e em off o , f " H seeing yaon and Co.) ap pearance on Woolwich-common during the review on her Majesty's Birthday.

On the 28th of August last, an experimental line of wire, twenty five miles in length, measuring, with its covering of gutta percha, only half an inch in diameter, was successfully submerged in the Channel, between Dover and Cape, Gris-nez, and communications from England to France were printed by the Telegraph, which are now in the possession of the President of the French Republic. The submertion of the wire and the actual printing of the mes sages having proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, the practica bility and certainty of the undertaking, it now only remains to lay down a number of permanent wires in a protective covering of adequate strength to ensure them against accident. The experi mental wire was not expected to bear a strain of more than from 100 to 200 lbs., whereas the combined strength of the lines about to be laid down is calculated to be sufficient to resist the anchors of large vessels. These wires will each afford a distinct line of Telegraphic inter course, connecting Great Britain with France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, and other parts of the Continent, whereby ultimately an universal and instantaneous communication throughout the whole of Europe will be established. One great featm - e in this undertaking Is the advantages it will offer to India and America. By the agency of a single wire, the news by the Indian Mail on its arrival at Trieste or Marseilles, may be delivered, printed in Roman type, simultaneously at Paris and London—and at Liverpool, in readiness for the departure of the American Mail ; while the remaining lines of wires may at the same instant be conveying intelligence between Great Britain, and the other countries of Europe. The several departments of the English Government, viz., the Ad miralty, the Treasavy, the Woods and Forests, the Board of Trade, and the Foreign-office, have expressed their approbation of the un dertaking, and their readiness to afford every facility for carrying out its object in the most efficient manner. It is proposed to vest the concessions in a public Company, to be named the " Sub-Marine Telegraph Company ;" for which a Royal Charter has been obtained. The capital to consist of 100,000 Shares of I t. each ; one fourth of such Shares to be appropriated as paid-up Shares to the Conces sionaires and Patentees, in consideration of the transfer and assign ment of the concessions and privilege s g ranted by the French Go vernment, and for the necessary licence to use the patents. It is intended to issue only 50,000 of the remaining Shares in the fi r st instance, the allottees of w hich will be required to pay up the full amount of such i Shares on allotment ; an as the Company is 3 fi . cations far i n c c o o r p p i o e r s at•e d oft , t the Prospectus w ill be protected m ay be obtained, trout r t ed and l ia b a i I p i p t Shares, in the following form, may be made at the Offices of the Com pany, or of Messrs.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSOIANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STROET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL C.,ENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland —one for 5001. and the other for MR.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Jet of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1350, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made tbr 138 Policies, amounting to 52,91731.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 186 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 63. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent"of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. His. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 741/. Is. leaving the yearly income on the I st of J une last e q ual to 2,9911. As. I Id.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Manager. L A W LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, Fleet-street, London, June 5, 1851. Notice is hereby given, that in conformity with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement, a GENERAL MEETING of Proprietors will be held at the Society's Office, Fleet-street, London, on TUES DAY, the 24th day of June instant, at Twelve o'clock at Noon pre cisely, to elect a Trustee in the room of the Right Hon. the Earl of Cottenham, deceased; to elect Six Directors and Two Auditors, when those who go out of•otiice by rotation will be proposed for re-election; and also for general purposes. By order of the Directors, WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. NOTICE OF REGULATION FOR. WHITSUNTIDE. As It is computed that nearly half a million of the Working Classes will arrive in the Metropolis during the early portion of next week, the greatest precautions have been taken to prevent inconve nience ; and it is presumed that the residents of the Metropolis, who can do everything when they please, will take advantage of the excursion trains and steamers, which are judiciously provided to ac commodate two hundred thousand a day. In London many of the Exhibitions will be open ; the British Museum, the National Gallery, and many other attractions will be free, and among the principal sights of London to which the public are invited, the magni ficent marts of E. MOSES and SON, in the Minories and Aid gate, and New Oxford-street, will attract thousands. At their establishment may be seen the most extensive col lection of fashionable costume ever got together, and among them the superb embroidered dresses intended for the Great Exhibition. These specimens are worth travelling a thousand miles to inspect, for art and science can go no further in the pro duction of embroidery. It would, indeed, be a matter of regret for a visitor to omit calling at the Monarch Mart, for it is im possible to form the least idea of its extent, or of the variety, elegance, and taste displayed in the dresses, which, in number, exceed all belief. It should be mentioned to 'visitors that they are invited to inspect not to buy, although the purchase of the next article of dress a visitor may require, follows some time or other, as certain as day follows night, for the articles exhibited are as good of the kind as man can produce, and the prices so mode rately low, that people must see to believe. E. MOSES and SON have devoted a separate Show-room for the plirpose of exhibiting the embroidered robes alluded to, and they again earnestly invite an inspection. Wanted several Youths as Cashiers.

THE GOLD-DUST ROBBERY.--WINCHESTER, JUNE 9.—At l o'clock precisely this day, Mr. Charles Seagrim (the Mayor) and a number of the city magistrates met at Winchester Gaol, to conclude the formal reading and the completion of the evidence of several witnesses who were not present last Friday at the Guildhall. The prisoner was brought into the visiting magistrate's committee-room by . Mr. Sheppard, the chief officer of the city . police; and Mr. Bircham, of the firm of Bircham and Co., in consequence of the absence of Mr. Crorebie from illness, at once proceeded with the remaining evidence. Mr. Peter Lee attended for the prisoner. Mr. Field, the inspector of the detective po lice, was first examined, and then Mr. Jennings, the checking clerk in the Southampton Dock Company's employ, who did not appear on Friday last, and sent no explanation of his absence. To-day he stated that he had received no notice to attend, he did not think that he was required. Mr. Barber's evidence with respect to the piece of black cloth found on the prisoner was read, and the evidence of two warders who had disoovered it, and had not been previously examined, was taken; after which the prisoner was finally , committed. The witness Jennings proved the extraordi nary fact that the box found had never received the Custom= house seal.

Marin, MAY 30.—This morning the Peninsular and Oriental Company's stea m . ship Ganges, with the Precursor's passengers from Calcutta, arrived. She has made the quickest passage on record from Alexandria, only 7.2 hours ! The Precursor hav ing anticipated a strong monsoon took the south passage, fell short of coal, and was detained on her passage longer than could reasonable have been ex pected. The Ganges brings Calcutta papers, which are for warded by her, as she probably will reach England before the next regular mail, which will leave this on the evening of the 2d of June. The Bombay express, with London dates to 7th March, which arrived on the 12th instant, followed the next day by the general mail, did not exer cise any influence upon the export market. Business proceeded without alteration in values. Indigo remained without transactions, any offers ruling below the pretensions of sellers. For sugar the demand continued active at well maintained rates, till within the last few days, when the high rates of freight led to 3 to 4 annas reduced offers, which had been partially accepted for the lower sorts. Saltpetre was in less general request, and a decline of 2 to 4 annas had affected the medium and lower qua lities. Rice in the table sort much neglected, but prices are not further depressed. Raw silk continued in demand for the good and superior qualities, and previous prices were well supported. In the import market business bad been flat, and much interrupted by three successive native holydays which occurred in the latter part of the week. Money was somewhat easier in the Bazaar. The total loss of the Ganges Company's inland steamer Patna, with a cargo valued at about two lass of rupees, had created a little alarm in the market. Iron remained on fair demand ; 3,500 mds. of spel ter had sold at 6-4 per md. Lead chill. In the money market there was no change to offer. The closing of the Five per Cent. Loan led to exten sive speculative operations in Government securities, which raised their value rapidly ; but latterly the spirit has cooled down, and prices are in a declining tendency. The profits of the Bank of Bengal for the three months ending on the 31st of March are equal to Co.'s rs. 13-17-li. per cent. on paid-up capital, and shares are in demand at our raised quotations. In exchange, negotiations ruled for six months' sight credit bills at 2.0 to 2.0 i, document drafts 2-0-i to 2-oil. Freights receded shortly after last mail 10.0 to 15.0, but have within the last few days again nearly recovered the fall. LOSS OF TIIE NEPTUNE STEAM-SHIP. This first-class splendid steam-frigate, known as the London and St. Petersburgh steam-ship Neptune, has, we regret to say, been wrecked on, a formidable reef of rocks in the Sound of Elsineur, while pur suing a voyage from the Thames to the northern capital. It may be recollected she was specially se lected to convey the numerous packages of Russian manufacture and produce for the Great Exhibition, which are now in the course of arrangemeut in the building, and having taken on board almost as valu able a cargo, was on her return voyage when the un fortunate accident befel her. It appears she left her moorings off Irongate Steam Wharf, St. Katherine's, on the morning of the 27th ult., having on board about 40 passengers, a general cargo of merchandise, and some four or five carriages which were placed on deck. She made the Elsineur light about half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night week, the wind blowing rather fresh from the N.N.W., but beyond that there was no unfavourable circumstance. Nothing oc curred to create the least alarm until she had steamed some eight or nine miles further, when suddenly she " bounced" into a dangerous reef of rocks off that part of the coast, called Swine Bottoms, off Logamas, and all was thrown into a state of consternation and dismay. The engines were backed, and every stra tagem was resorted to to get her off, but without avail, the wind and rough sea acting on the vessel so as to drive her further into danger ; and in less than half an hour the water had burst through her com partments (for she was an iron-built ship), and her hold was full up to within a foot of her main deck. Before this time attention was prudently directed to wards saving the lives of the passengers; and the ship's signals being fortunately seen, several craft came down alongside of the wreck. Some were landed on the Jutland coast, and others on the oppo site shore, Sweden. Vigorous efforts were made to save several bales of indigo, and other valuable por tions of her cargo. In this the crew were successful. During the following day, owing to the heavy gale of wind, the ship sustained serious damage ; so much so as to leave but little hope of her . being got off. Upon the intelligence of the wreck reaching Elsineur, the agents of Lloyd's dispatched thelietha steamer to the aid of the passengers, and having shifted a quantity of cargo, more or less damaged, she pro ceeded to Copenhagen. Other vessels, with diving apparatus, having gone to the wreck, attempts will be made, when she is lightened of her cargo, to get her once more afloat; but this is considered impracti cable, as portions of the rock on which the steamer struck have perforated and remain in her bottom. Her loss is much to be regretted. She was hand somely fitted up, and was a very fast steamer, having 250-horse power engines. From all accounts there appears to have been no doubt that the s hip was out of her course. Whether this arose through an error in judgment of those on board, or from some defect in her compass, which is probable, the vessel being built of iron, we have received no precise intelligence. She was built at Waterford, and was nearly 500 tons burden. It is reported at Lloyd's that. h e vessel and cargo were insured in several marine insurance com panies in the City, to the extent of;, 0,0001. She was due at St. Petersburgh on the; 4th. Another steamer has been placed on the station: SHOCKING SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON . An inquest was held yesterday at the Crown Inn, Brighton, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Jeffrey Hodges, a gentleman who had been for more than tee years connected with a mercantile firm it( London. Mrs. Sarah Hodges, a widow, and stepmother of the deceased. whose residence is at 6, Grove-place, Stratford, Essex, stated that she came to Brighton with /eceased and her own daughter on Tuesday last, and put up at the White Horse Hotel. On the next day they took lodgings on the Marine-parade. The father of the deceased died two years ago, and deceased had been 14 an extremely nervous state, bet lately had been bettei— During the night of Sunday he called her up, and said persons were about to murder him. She bathed hie temples till about two o'clock in the morning, and ho then expressed a wish for some tea. The servant went into the kitchen to make some toe, and as witness's child cri e d, and de ceased promised he would lie still ia bed whilst she went to quiet the infant, she left him. On returning to the room she heard deceased say, " I shall murder naz sister; I must do so, that she may not have the suffering that I have had—she is sure to go to heaven;" and added, " they are coming up stairs to murder me, I'll jump out of the window." Witness hastened into the room, when she saw the window open, and deceased's shirt flying in the air, as ho was descending from the window. She imme diately ran down stairs and found him lying on the gravel path in front of the house. He was sensible; his right arm was broker, and shattered in two places. She lifted him up, and assisted him into the house. He said a young lady to whom he had been engaged had been the cause of it. He took ho ld of witness's hand, and said, " Teach me to say my prayers. Witnes s knelt, and held his hand, and ho r e p eated the Lord's prayer and the blessing after her. The surgeon then came in. He lingered till about ten o'clock on Saturday night, when he died.

Journal.) (Continued from The Sun of Friday.) From what has been said of the climate and vegetable productions of New Zealand, it may readily be inferred that it is equally favourable to animal life and produc tion. All the animals of New Zealand are foreigners; the wild pigs were introduced by Captain Cook; the sheep and cattle were introduced from Australia. But both pigs and cattle, as well as sheep, thrive and mul tiply exceedingly. Hogs grow to a great size, and their flesh forms excellent eating. Considerable quantities of wool, of a superior quality, are yearly exported ; and probably this may yet become a staple of Now Zealand commerce, though we believe the future wealth of the country must mainly depend on its agricultural rather than on its pastoral products. There are no wild animals, nor snakes, nor any venomous creatures; the only natives are birds, which are very plentiful, and furnish abund ance of good eating. The first settlement in New Zealand was formed at Port Nicholson by the New Zealand Company in 1839, since which time emigrants have steadily flowed into the country, though by no means so rapidly as to the United States. Doubtless, the great distance of New Zealand, which is about 13,000 miles from England, has operated to the disadvantage of this fine colony. The first town founded at Port Nicholson was Wellington, still one of the most thriving parts of the colony. It is situated in Lsmbton harbour, in Port Nicholson, at nearly the south-eastern extremity of the northern island. Cook's Straits, extending from it in a north-westerly direction, separate Port Nicholson from the middle island, on the northern shore of which the Nelson settlement was planted in 1841. Probably many of our readers may already have seen the interesting panorama of the Port Nicholson settlement, which has been exhibited in London during the past year. Though it exhibits only a small corner of New Zealand, still it gives an admirable idea of the character of the country, its capacious bays, its noble natural harbours, its deeply indented coast, its rolling and often rugged but always fertile surface, its delicious valleys, its winding rivers, its umbrageous forests, its smiling farmsteads, and its extensive fern covered plains. The country in the neighbourhood of the settlement is very hilly, though there is a large tract of very rich land along the valley of the - qua, which offers numerous capabilites for agricultuaal im provement. The soil is of great richness, and already well settled along the Hutt, the country heing dotted over with pleasant and thriving farmsteads, reminding one of old England. Although Wellington is a straggling town, extending over a large surface of hillocks aad hollows, knolls and ravines, steeps and flats, all rourra the harbour, it already exhibits a forwardness of organization remarkable in so yostng a settlement, but quite in keeping with the Bri tish character, everywhere, which no sooner plants its foot upon a soil, than it begins to organise forthwith. Within the bosom of these towering hills, which enclose this lovely bay, you already see churches, corn-mills, courts of law, survey offices, banks, an; exchange, a custom-house, bonded stores, and merchants' offices. There are barracks also, and a few red-coats are seen on parade or lounging about in undress. Ships lie at anchor of the wharves, securely protected by the high grounds surrounding the bay on all sides. In one place you see by the stumps still protruding from the ground, that a clearing has been effected, and the land turned into pasture for the use of the numerous cattle belonging to the inhabitants. Occasionally, a few natives are seen passing, perhaps engaged in some work for a colonist, by whom the settlers arc often hired at good wages. Along the beach you observe :nests of houses, with an occasional parsonage or hotel, or un officer's house; and as you proceed into the country, the comfortable farm houses of the farmer proprietors meet your view, some times on the skirt of a wood, or by a running stream, or in a snug valley, or on the open flats ; large numbers of well-fed cattle roaming the hills, or forests, or fern covered plains. Windmills also occasionally diversify the scene, and remind you forcibly of the old country. There are now excellent roads leading to the rich and extensive tracts of country lying to the north-east and north-west of Port Nicholson, and farmers are gradually finding their way into them. The most important district is called the plainlofty ranges goso into f hills, which form the heads of Palliser Bay. A good the irarap interiora ; f i t t heox country,tends road is now formed to it up the valley of the Hutt. waithin level tw o The chief recommendations are its great variety of character—abundance of prairie grass and fern lands for pastoral purposes; plenty of timber for building and fuel, with hills in the distance to fall back upon; abun dance of good land, yielding good crops, for purposes of agriculture, and a river affording good means of transit. There are many good stock farms already in the neigh bourhood, and pigs run wild in large numbers. With these advantages to back it, Wellington has made steady progress since its settlement. It exports large quantities of wool and flax, it builds ships and carries on manufactures, it has efficient schools, and church accommodation for the whole population, which amounts to about 5,500 British and natives. The Petre and New Plymouth settlements are both in Cook's Straits, on the same coast as Wellington, but considerably further west. New Plymouth h as been styled " the garden of New Zealand." The soil is ex• tremely prolific, the country is beautiful, and the climate at once delightful and invigorating. The bishop of New Zealand, speaking of this place, says, " No one can speak of the soil or scenery of New Zealand till he has soen both the natural beauties and the ripening harvests of Taranaki. When ho has sat upon the deck of a vessel sailing to Taranaki, and watched the play of light and shade upon the noble mountain and the woods at its base, and far behind, in the centre of the islands, the thin white wreath of streamy smoke which marks the volcano of Tongariro, and to the south the sister mountain of Ruapaho covered with perpetual snow, then be may be qualified to speak of the scenery of this country, especially if he has added to his sketch-book the great chain of the southern Alps, which I have lately seen in all their wintery grandeur, stretching in an almost unbroken line from north to south for more than three hundred miles." The country around New Plymouth consists chiefly of timbered and fern lands, which, when cultivated, yield heavy crops, and large quantities of corn aro yearly exported to the other settlements. Nearly the whole population are owners of land. Wages are so good that a labourer is soon enabled to save snfficient money to buy a bit of ground for himself, on which he builds a house. Good land is to be had at 1Z an acre and upwards, being . of course high er p r i ce d th e nearer it i s t o th e ce ntre of the population. The colony is calling out fur more labourers, which is its greatest want. There is said to be ample room in the district for 100,000 emigrants; of course they must be supplied judiciously, and by de grees. The only objection to the colony is its want of s good sea-port, the river Waiters affording shelter for small coasters only. But the colony nevertheles con tains within it the elements of great prosperity; indeed, the whole coast country, from Port Nicholson to New Plymouth, an extent of 150 miles, is a beautiful and de sirable land, and presents numerous attractions to in dustrious agricultural settlers. On the opposite shore of Cook's Straits, on the northern coast of the middle island, at the head of Tasraa,n's Gulf, the spirited colony of Nelson was planted by the New Zealand Company in 1841. It ranks next in importance to Wellington. The land around is lees hilly, and the soil is equally rich. The expense of clearing the fern land is small, and the settler loses no time in proceeding with his operationt. The climate, however, is not so agreeable as at Wellington, and occa sionally high winds blow across the land here; but there is not much reason, either, for complaint on this score. For weeks together, there is fine calm weather, brilliant sunshine by day, and magnificent moonlight by night. Indeed, it is usual in New Zealand, at a timo of more than ordinary fine weather, to say, "This is Nelson weather." An idea of its general mildness may be in ferred from the fact that sheep lamb iu mid-winter in the open country, and very few losses occur. The in digenous trees preserve their verdure all the year round. Crops yield well, especially wheat, maize, and potatoes. The district contains about 60,000 acres fit for settle ment, mostly free from timber, but only about 4,000 acres are yet under cultivation. The whole population of the country is only about 3,000 British, and 600 natives. There are several fine tracts of land in the neighbour hood—at Cloudy Bay especially, where there is abun dance of rich land, with plenty of coal at hand. Further south, on the east coast, at Port Cooper, is the new colony of Canterbury, in Banks' Peninsula. There are large tracts of available land in the neighbourhood, and under ordinary good management the settlement cannot fall to thrive. Otago settlement is further south, along the same coast. Being in a lower latitude, it is rather colder in winter, and less hot in summer, than the more northern sottlements; nevertheless the climate is delight ful and salubrious. Even its coldest parts are milder than the south of France, which is in a corresponding latitude. The colonists here grow wheat of the finest quality far in the interior; flocks and herds thrive ad mirably; and the colony bids fair to prosper and grow rich. The settlement comprehends 400,000 acres of lend, a very large proportion of which is capable of pro ' fitable cultivation. It has a noble harbour, abundance . of untimbered fertile land, open gra ss y meadows inter spersed with an adequate supply of wood, a navigable in land water communication running up the centre of the block of land neerly its entir e len g th, and the richest land lying on either side of it, remarkabl y well watered; an ample field of coal; and to the west, stretching away to the feet of the snowy mountains, an unbounded sheep walk, open to the farmer and flock owner; these consti tute, indeed, a series of combined advantages rarely to be mot with in such a moderate compass of territory I The last settlement in New Zealand which remain s t o he mentioned is one of the most important—bein g the seat of the Government. It is named Auckland, and is situated on the eastern shore of the northern i s l an d , more than 200 miles north of Wellington. Its situation at the head of the Frith of Thames is very fine: the harbour is land-locked by . a cluster of beautiful islands. The scenery in the neighbourhood is lovely, the ground being un d a i at imag, and naturally dotted hero and there with clumps of trees, as in a gentleman's park. Th e so il i s not, however, so productive as in the settlements already name d. But a large trade is done at the place ; and being the resort of numerous whaling vessels ' besides being the scat of the Government (aces, it is a place of considerable bustle and business, [PRICE SD. The ruling price of land in New Zealand is 1/. an acre; but it may occasionally be had for less from private persons. Good land may be rented from 2s. to ss. an acre, for seven years, the first year free. Wages for most kinds of labour are high; agricultural labourers receive from 20/, to 301. a year, with boad and lodging; bricklayers 6s. to Bs. a day; carpenters, 7s. to 10s. a day; blacksmiths from 3s. to 55.; coopers 4s. to 55.; gar deners, ss; masons, 7s. to 95.; bullock drivers, 201. to 30/. a year, with rations, female cooks, 151. to 251. a year; dairymaids, 101. to 201.; house servants, 101 . to 201., all with board and lodging. On the whole, New Z3aland presents strong inducements to the overworked and underpaid working people of this country, and to small capitalists, who desire to became possessed of land in a rich and prosperous colony, with an almost un rivalled climate. l'ar. Ward, who has resided in the co lony, says, "If I were going out now, I should go to Nelson for farming purposes, or, New Plymouth may be as good; to Wellington for mercantile pursuits; to Auckland as a storekeeper, or for a situation; and to Otago, Port Cooper, or Wariau, for sheep keeping." With its great capabilities, New Zealand seems to have a great future before it. Even its natives will yet prove a source of wealth to the country; possessing, as they do, capabilities of civilization such as have not been observed in any other aboriginal savage race to anything like the same extent. They make good labourers, and are gradually becoming acc us t ome d to European ha' bits of industry. They are quick, intelligent, and indus trious; and many of them are accumulating wealth in the settlements. Emigration also continues steady, and the new comers are generally of a higher class than or dinary. The necessary cost of the voyage indicates a wealthier class of emigrants than those resorting to the United States; and we see them proceeding at once to the erection of schools and churches wherever they plant themselves. We conclude in the words of Dr. Lang, than whom no living mass is better conversant with the comparative merits of our southern colonies, for the pur poses of emigration. " Unquestionable," he says, "as are the facilities of colonization in South Australia, as well as in New South Wales, they are not to be com pared with those which New Zealand affords, In ono word, whatever may be the destinies of the Australian Colonies, I am confident that if colonized upon right principles, New Zealand will one day become the Great Britain of the Southern Hemisphere." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE PAYXASTEREI AND PUR SE RS (11THENAVY.—We are enabled to state that the Admiralty have appointed a committee to inquire into the operation of the new pay and provision system, so judiciously introduced into the navy, as it affects the losses sustained by the paymasters and pursers; and the amount of compensation, and the mode in which it shall be grant e d, to t hi s c l ass o f officers. The chairman of the committee is Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., and among the members are Rear-Admiral Collier, C. 8., Captain Sir R. Grant, Cap tain Plumridge, Captain the Hon. F. Pelham, &e. We understand that the principal questions for the commit tee will be whether the paymasters and pursers shall be paid as at present or by a fixed salary? It is a difficult matter to decide, and we trust no hasty decision will be arrived at. The accumulation of the difference of the savings between eighths and tenths will of course be as certained, and we trust that the surplus, as we believe a large one will be found to exist, will be applied to wards giving the passed clerks of the navy half-pay during the time they are waiting for new appointments. Captain Sir Thomas Carmichael has resigned the com mand of the Spiteful steam-sloop, in the Mediterranean, having succeeded to a baronetcy and a large fortune. It is reported that he intends resigning his position in the navy; for, not intending to follow up the profession., he is desirous of neither barring the way of less fortunate offieer, nor clogginr: the Navy List with any more " dead weigh:."—Herald. Sir Francis Baring, Bart., Admiral Dundas, the Hon. W. Cowper, and the secretary, Mr. Parker, have left the Admiralty for the Whitsun holidays. Lieut. Harry T. Veetch (1543) has been appointed an Admiralty agent of a msil contract steam-vessel. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's ship Singapore, which left Southampton M arc h 16, h a d ar rived at the Cape; but her Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan, Master-Commander Penn, which left Cork with troops on the 17th March, had not arrived. She is a heavy ship, and could not be expected to arrive until a week after the Singapore. Megwra screw-frigate,' Master-Commander Hoff moister, is en route from Sheerness to. Cork; and the Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hands, is ordered from Portsmouth to meet her, to assist her on the pas sage, as the screw machinery of the Megasra is stiff in working. DEVONPORT, JUNE B.—The Turkish steam-frigate Feizi Baari, with the flag of Admiral Mustapha Pacha, sailed this morning for Constantinople. During their stay at this port the officers have supplied themselves with a quantity of nautical instruments from the Go vernment agents, Messrs. Cox and Sons, opticians. PORTSMOUTg, MONDAY.—The Devastation steam sloop, Commander C. Y. Campbell, sailed this morning, at five o'clock, for Bermuda. The Hogue, 60, Captain M'Dougall, and the Ajax, 58, Captain Quin, were paid down to-day, and will sail to-morrow for Cork. _ The royal yachts Victoria and Albert, Fairy, and Elfin, have been removed to their winter moorings to day out of the fair-way of the harbour. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand, sailed from Spithead this evening for the eastward. The American Congress, New York line of packet ship, arrived at Spithead to-day, and proceeded for London after landing passengers. APPOINTMENTS.

DEAFNESS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED by VIBRATORY or MUSICAL SOUNDS. (From the Medical Gazette, June 6.) Sir,—No disease to which the human frame is subject has remained in grantor mystery than that connected with the organ of bearing. This may be one cf the reasons why medical men have deserted this branch of the profession, and almost left it in the hands of the empiric. It is not my intention at present to enter into the general treatment of hardness of hearing and its various causes, but to illustrate the very beneficial effects arising to the ear from properly directed vibrations directed to wards the middle car from without. The greater number of diseases to which the ear is subject arise from exposure to cold, obstructing or al tering the quality of the secretion of the thereby exposing the tympanum to the atmosphere, pro ducing ' torpor of the auditory nerves, more especiallyty,mpaniin, the nerves connected with the membrane which may be compared to a musical instrument of the f the first order, capable, when in health, of receiving highest or lowest notes produced by the undulations of the air. I have found no difficulty in reproducing essre a h y moanshealthy ceruminous secretion, by taking offpru of which has of a pneumatic extractor, an account al ready been published. When the gre atly mitigated is reproduced, reatly maigated ; but still the hardness of hearing is there frequently remai ns the eg sounds. This led me to nts mu sensible ffling, imperfection com p an ied by most d institute various trials to remove this morbid condition, and I am now enabled to state that . the hearing may perfectly restored by introducing into one ear an olian pitch-pipe, o r other properly adapted musical i ns t ru - Dont, and continuing the vibrations within the oar' for the space of five or ten minutes daily. At the same time, and during this process, the oppo site ear must be well closed. It will then be necessary to proceed in a similar manner with the other ear. This plan of treatment ought to be continued for a week or two after the patient's recovery, and ought to be left off with the lowest note. It may be well to state that no good effects can be derived from this method unless the vibrations be confined chiefly within the ear, so as to localise their effects. It is right also to presume that the vibratory mode of treatment will fail to be permanent in its effects unless the healthy secretions be first restored. The cases in which success is greatest are those in which the ticking of a watch can be heard when pressed upon the temple bones, and those in which hearing is temporarily in creased during the bustle and noise that prevail more or less in the open air, or in carriages, or railway travelling as long as th e v ib rat i on i s kept up. This plan of treat went went generally removes di sagreea bl e noises in the ea and head in chronic and nervous deafness. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, m AT 16, Manchester-square,' London, Maytrll2N4B.l7LL, M.D. GLASGOW, JUNE 7. Cotton—The market has been exceedingly quiet during the week. It has been rather firmer towards the close, but not so much as to effect prices. There is no particular change to notice in the de mand for yarn or goods. Manufacturers continue to pur chase sparingly of the former, but are evidently without stock. Printers and other buyers of cloths keep only sup plying their immediate wants. Prices of both are much the same as on this day week. Pig Iron—Our Pig-iron I market during the week has been one unv arying scene of dullness and absence of business.

GREENWICH FAIR. It bas recently been asserted, we know not on what authority, that the great attraction in Hyde- park is ruin ingL all minor exhibitions, and that now-a - days every body who has a spare half hour spends it in the Palace of Indtistry. This fiction, which we have now found to be glaringly opposed to the fact, was yet based on so good a found at i on of probability that we gave it credit, and, actuated a t once by our belief in its truth, an d b y a saddening pro s p ect of day for Greenwich, in a a rainy day, we started yester most melancholy mood, rather as we should have gone on a visit of condolence, or to attend a funeral, than as of old w e left to witness a striking spectacle, and to rejoice over a happy popula tion. We recovered our spirits at the Temple-stairs. Never, in the palmiest days of Greenwich, was steamer better filled with people determined to be happy, to ex ercise Mark Tapleyism in its full extent, an d b e decidedly jolly under the most depressing circumst ances, " than was our boat on this occasion. It was, indeed, cr amme d to an almost dangerous excess, and with exactly the old set. There were fathers of families, who kept the day as a duty, which had grown into a habit; mothers, who went, at least ostensibly, for the benefit of the children; and chil dren, who obviously had no motive whatever for their anxiety to go, save that embodied in Carlyle's résumé of " "goodies." There philosophy, "unlimited attainability of There were, moreover, immense numbers of young men with cigars in their mouths, whose occupations evidently did not agree with them, escorting young ladies who wore thread gloves wonderfully like kid, and who, in their turn, supported parasols as they might have done dumb-bells, more from a view to ultimate advantage than from any present enjoyment of the situation in which, constrained by fashion, they found their arms uneasily extended. Tne babies which could not be left at home, and the baskets of sandwiches which economy had suggested to their mammas, were also in full force, SO thct, altogether, the vessel gave ono the idea of a modern Noah's Ark, save in the important particular that it bore with it no comforting assurance that it was only our neighbours, not we, who were going to be drowned. But to Greenwich everybody got, and there, after a " snack," and a shake or two of his or her umbrella, set out in search of romance, adventure, or the picturesque. But it was only the moustached of the passengers whose eyes were greeted with much novelty on landing. The same beggars, whose sufferings have been movingly portrayed on canvass, whilst their lege have been tenderly bound up in cotton, after " the late shocking accident," for ten years at least, were looking mutely pathetic, in the road, as ever; the gilt gingerbread, time-honoured, though slightly tarnished—like the Lord Mayor's State carriage—occu pied its wonted proud position; the donkeys, which ought to have expired under their fatigues ages ago, were still racing before the warwhoops of their oppres sors, and refusing to give any colour to Sterne's delusion about the existence—if we may use the term—of a dead ass. The " ladies' tormentors," or " whole fun of the fair," as the rattling instruments which appear to be de stroying coats, and thereby do shako nerves, are termed by their respective proprietors, were selling briskly, and though rolling down the hill was injurious to garments susceptible of mud impressions, the youth of the vicinity to some extent enjoyed the sport, and so gave their un happy guardians the Sisyphian employment of pushing them np again. Even the rain, though inconvenient in some respects, was uncommonly useful in others. Every unsuccessful thrower at " three sticks a penny" con soled himself for his remoteness from the mark by the refection that all three of his missiles were damp, and therefore out of condition; every fallen equestrian averred that his steed slipped; and, alas! not every, but many a husband apologised for brandy and water as an admirable preventive of cold. Spite, however, of the humidity of the atmosphere, the wetness of the grass, and the frequent showers, it was late before the booths with their works of art and sports of nature, their wax monarchs, and five-legged cows, entirely superseded the out-of-door amusements. The Knights Templars, in chain armour and Berlin gauntlets, who wandered to and fro before Itichardson'e, had smoked out several cigars , and repeatedly kicked the clown in a comic manner, be fore the threatening " Ail in" of the manager could col lect an adequate audience. Alger's had lamps suffici ently varied in colour to have puzzled Aladdin, or added another hue to the rainbow, before dancers could be found to fill the tent satisfactorily. Nobody would have his likeness taken, nobody would visit the monstrocities, till it was nearly dark; and the constant relays of pas sengers from town, who had the whole thing to go through, encouraged those who preceded them in this postponement. But at length the unpaying and outside mob did give way to those with money to spend and spirits to exhaust; and every horror was inspected. every step gone through, which the human mind could devise, or the fantastic too achieve. Order, indeed, was preserved, but it was by the controlling influence of good humour—not by lar.v. Nay, we raw an unconscious German dash a "ladies tormentor" down the whole of a policeman's back, and, will it be believed, the func tionary was content to punish with one admonitory smile? Till twelve, perhaps after, the fun was "kept tip;" then the lest train departed, :and probably even then scene few were left behind. Oa the whole, how ever, the day had been agreeable beyond all expecta tions. ASSAULT OF ARMS. On Saturday ono of those exhibitions, which appear under the immediate patronage of to be increasing in popularity, took place at Willis's a gentleman sr. v asseu r w j n a o m b e le s m 's' en and gentlemen, for the benefit a , and eli T k uoh o y nf ; l ß o o n o g m li s s , t S o t i and much respected.

The wrists and blade-bones were brought into excessive play, and the wonder was with some of the spectators how each shoulder continued in its proper position and escaped dislocation. The a musements closed with a set-to with the gloves between Mr. Arnold and Mr. Adams, in which much good sparring was exhibited. Mr. Arnold's quickness of eye and judgment were baffled in most in stances by the splendid p la y cf Mr. Adams • and the " combatants" left the room with much applause, The ' Saladin feat, an d the cuttin g of a bar of lead_were both achieved ; and thoug h there can not bo much novelty in these matters , th e entertainm ent went ar but the room was no t particularly well filled. very well ; ARTHUR CONWAY.—A new work which is likely to be well received by the public on account of the novelty of its scenes and incidents, no less than the ability with which it is written, has just appeaaerred,,uinaideesrtv's 33d Regimentthe title of `° Arthur Conway; or, Scenes in th e T ropics.

As his firmer work was esteemed by the best judges a faithful and lively portraiture of Andalusia and Spanish life, it is thought that the present book will give an equally exact and vivid picture of life in the Tropics, so much less known and so little understood in Europe. TUE GEOSVENoR-PLACE DISTRICT.—The annual election of trustees for this district took place yesterday. at the office of the trustees. Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico. After some be discussion the show of hands was declared to in favour of the " White," or " Chesham. place List," by a large majority. A poll was then demanded by the supporter s of the " Pink," cr " Opposition List," which was fixed to take place to-day and to-morrow. Those of the inhabitants who wish to infuse fresh blood into th board of trustees, and thus to secure a more efficient manage ment of the affairs of the district, should remember that thei presence at the poll is absolutely necessary for effecting th dersirable object.
