AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA The Royal Mail Steam-ship Asia, Captain Lott, which sailed from New York on Wednesday, the 3rd inst, entered the Mersey yesterday morning, about half past eight o'clock, bringing four days' later news, the usual mails, and specie on freight amounting to 950,69.5 dols , and £240 sterling. She has also brought 127 passengers. On the Bth inst., at 3.15 p.m , the Asia passed her consort the Persia, in lat. 49.35, lon. 34.50; 940 miles we From Washington there is little news of the least importance. The rumoured appointment of the Hon. Mr. Villiers to the post of British Minister had been received with the utmost favour. According to a New York journal such appointment would he one eminently calculated to promote the best interests of both countries, and even to diminish the growing conviction of the mischievous inutility of any such office as Ambassador at all. If such costly agencies as embassies are needed at all, his well, while they are upheld, that they should answer some useful or honourable national purpose. Above all things do we protest against a renewal of such mediocrities as Great Britain has been in the habit of saddling on the White House at Wash ington. Indeed, if these matters are arranged in future as they have been in the past, Washington bids fair to become a sort of political Greenwich Hospital or diplomatic Botany Bay, where English ministers may consign such of their brothers, or nephews, or cousins, for whom they cannot contrive a lucrative taciturnity at home. An interesting communication from a Missou rian, addressed to the St. Louis Democrat, on the subject of the last unsuccessful expedition to Km. sag, gives us some insight into the modus operand s of these Missouri raids which were stimulated by the falsehoods of political leaders in their endea- passions of the Borderers against the Free-State settlers. We learn further that the Missourians themselves have become heartily sick of their Southern allies, who, of late, have been committing depredations upon both friend and foe. The correspondent of the Democrat affirms most positively that Bufard's men drew pay—only came into the territory to vote, and intandeel to return home in the fall. He makes some further revelations, now given to the public for the first time, and considering the opportuni ties of the writer for knowing the truth, his state ments are entitled to credit. A telegraphic despatch from Charleston informs us that W. R. Taber, Esq., editor of the Mercury of that, city, was killed in a duel on the 29th ult. Mr. Taber, since his connection with the Mercury, noted as one of the most strenuous advocates of Slavery extension. President Pierce had been on a tour to the north. He had visited Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, at each and all of which places he was enthusiastically received. Our miscellaneous advices inform us that a great fire at Atlanta, Georgia, had destroyed 100,000 dollars worth of property, and one at Boston had com pletely gutted a piano -forte warehouse, damaging property value 50,000 dollars, and causing the death At Boston, on the 29th, 78 persons vere arrested in a gambling house, and conveyed to the lock-up. Three of the parties connected with the great swindle of the Northern Railway of France, were arrested in New York on the 27th. Their names are Louis Grelet, one of the cashiers, and a younger brother, and August Parot, a stock speculator. They arrived in the Atlantic Carpentier, the other cashier, came in the Fulton, from Havre, but has not yet been arrested. 70,000 francs only were found on the parties. The whole amount of the swindle is known to be nearly 3,000,000 f. The parties were followed to America by a member of the London Detective Police, and one of them was arrested in the office of Mr. Belmont, where he had gone to exchange some notes for gold. The canal tolls for the State of New York this season are nearly one and three quarter million dollars. *lours to rouse the )f a woman From Havana, we learn that the health of that city has very much improved, and no fears are now entertained from the yellow fever. The local news of the Island is uninteresting. Several British men-of-war are cruising round the Island, occasionally touching at Havana. The primary labour on the new railroad to Matanzas is progres sing favorably—the stock is all subscribed for. In business, Sugars have been dull. Stock, 195,000 The crop of the Island short of last year. boxes By this arrival we have advices from California to the sth ultimo, brought by the steamer Illinois, which had 1,867,148 dols worth of gold dust on freight. The news from California is not import ant, and, when compared with our fortnightly des patches during the last four months, does not possess much interest. On the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of August, the rooms of the Vigilance Com mittee were thrown open and were visited by an immense concourse of spectators. The different political parties are making vigorous preparations for the approaching elections. On the 27th of August, the Republican State Convention met at Sacramento, and nominated for Congress Ira P. Rankin, of Sacramento. and Thomas Cox, of Plumas. The American State Convention met on the 2nd instant. B. C. Whitman, of Solano, and A. B. Dibble, of Nevada, were the Congressional nomi nations. We take the following from the Alta Cali fornian, of Sept. 5 :—" In our last notice we gave a detailed account of the success attending the clos ing up of the affairs of the Vigilance Committee. That, as was anticipated, has proved a final end of their labours ; they having, after a short time, form ally adjourned ; nor will they be likely to again meet as a body, unless the necessity be forced upon them by some action on the part of their oppon ents. Since the suspension of the committee the popular mind has regained its accustomed repose, and affairs flow on in their ordinary channel once more, leaving us no very striking incidents or movements to chronicle at present." The American party held their State Nomination Convention on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th September, at Sacramento. There were present a very large number . of delegates. Th e f o ll ow i ng ti c k et was nominated—For Congressmen, B. C. Whitman, of Seiano, A. B. Dibble, of Nevada. For Clerk of Supreme Court, J. Skinker, of Sacramento. Mining, the great leading interest of our state, is, as a general thing, in a prosperous condition. This is especially the ease upon the rivers, which, owing to the unusual droutih, are lower than ever. A shocking murder was committed, Sept. '2, at Heath and Emory's ferry, on the Stanislaus River. Mr. Weeks, proprietor of the Lone Star House, and his wife, were found beneath the smoking ruins of their dwelling on that day, evidently mur- dered, but no clue to the perpetrator has as yet been obtained. On the 17th ult., two Frenchmen living on the Fresno, named Villate and Raun, got into a dis• pute, when the former shot the other, killing him almost instantly. He was arrested and taken to Millerton. Two German mirrers were killed by the caving of a bank while working in their claim, at Matelot Gulch, near Columbia. Their names were unknown. For ,the first time in the history of the city, there is not a Prisoner in th e gao l o f thi s county awaiting trial. On Saturday, o ffi cer Harrison of Sacramento, having arrested a man n amed Woodward, accused of horse stealing, shot hi m while attempting to escape. He bas since ing s died. hain S v ev g eral weeks ago the Indians on River,K attempted to steal some horses, were p ursu ed by the w hi tes, and five of their number killed. `Zr. Campbell, agent i n that section, has been compelled, in consequence King's to remove the Indians from River to the San Joaquin. R. W. Bennett, for several years special policeman in the Chinese quarter, Sacramento, was poisoned l as t T ues d ay, i n conseq uence of which he died the foll ow i ng d ay. H ow or why the poison was administered, is all a m y s t er y. The Vigilance Committee, before their final ad journment, notified Cusick, Thompson, and Hen nessey, who had previously b een warne d to l e ave the State, that they might do eo b y t h e S teamer c September 5; after which, if found in the Cit 3 they would incur the penalty of death A girl in the service of Mr. Allen, at Sonoma, was killed on Thursday, but by whom is unknown. There is rumour, however, that it was done by a woman, and the implement used a hatchet. Twelve Indians, belonging to the Pitt River tribe, were re cently killed in Klamath county. while attempting to murder a packer named Smith. Capt. W. H. Chamberlain, of the clipper ship John Stuart, was accidentally killed on board his ship about two weeks since, whilst on her passage between Hong Kong and this port. The republican and American parties have al ready held their State Convention, and made out tickets. The democrats will assemble in a few days for the same purpose. Our advices from Panama are interesting. It was expected there that the election of Governor would not be concluded without trouble, but the presence of the United States war vessels in port seem to have had a salutary effect. The country, however, was by no means tranquil. On the 19th ult. it was publicly announced that Calvo, the Conservative candidate, was elected, and it was greatly feared that his inauguration would be attended by serious disturbances. The Legislature was disorgapised touching the Governorship. There was fear there of a general conflict. The citizens fled, houges were barricaded, and the U. S. ships Independence and St. Mary's held in readiness to protect American citizens. Mariano Arosemena, President of the Assembly, who was ringleader of the opposition, sought refuge on hoard the St Mary's. The affair finally ended in smoke. Health on the Isthmus good. The sloop of war Saratoga was off Aspinwall. Accounts from Nicaragua to August 30 had been received at Aspinwall. Walker remained quiet. Leon had been abandoned to the invading army, which numbered 1,500 troops. Dr. Livingston had been released and sent to San Salvador. The people of Somoto had risen against the Leon faction and assassinated several prominent partisans, in cluding Joaquin Chamoro and Augustin Hernan dez. Walker had issued several decrees, one notifying the Transit Grant to Morgan, and another declaring the property of the Accessory Transit Co. forfeited to the State. A rumour has reached Aspinwall of a revolt among Walker's troops, 50 of whom refused to do duty Walker gave them 24 hours to consider, at the expiration of which, still refusing, they were led out and shot. Dates from Valparaiso are to Aug. 16, and Callao to 27. A revolution had been headed by Gen. Castillo, and some fighting took place in the Plaza with the government troops under the Priest. The engagement lasted several hours, but the revo lutionists were finally subdued. The South American's news says a revolution took place in Lima, August 14. Pierre Soule has purchased a ranche in Nicaragua for 50,000 dols. He was to return to the States in the next steamer. Col. Schlessinger has published a letter to the army denouncing Walker as a traitor, accusing him of dishonesty, and offering protec tion to all Walker's troops who will join him. Schlessinaer was at Matazalpa, in the interior. In a decree dated Aug. 20, Walker, in consideration of 400,000 dols, transferred all the property and rights of the Accessory Transit Co. to Charles Morgan and Cornelius Garrison. THE NORTHERN TIMES,LIVERPOOL TUESDAY COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The arrangement of the Ist October dividends, and the preparations for the steamer Asia, sailing at an early hou r t o - morrow, cause d an extra enquiry for money, particularly from some of the demand borrowers. The bankers in the foreign trade bought heavily of Sterling, and at lower figures than the currency of the previous packet, and had also to pay for about a million of dollars in bullion. On London there was a good deal done for cash at 1091 to 109 a, though the regular drawing terms to the trade were 1091 to 1097,-. A sale of Philadelphia drawn bills, the second instalment on the Lebanon Valley negotiation, was reported at 109 k per cent. Continental bills in moderate request ; Francs 5.161 to The engagements of gold for the packet were short ship's office at the close of is were countermanded on account of the easier rates for first-class bills. The sales of prime mercantile paper, by the Discount Brokers to-day, were at the rates of 8 to 9 per cent per annum ; and fair names 10 to 12 per cent. with a larger offering. The Banks are discounting their income, which, on and after the 4th October, will be heavy. Business paper is well met, and in the Jobbing and Grocery line, trade is active and generally satisfactory: The Sugar speculators have been relieved by a free consumptive demand. COTTON.-The stock in this market is now so much re duced, and is held at such extreme rates, that such ex porters and speculators as might be inclined to operate, are in a great measure prevented, and the purchases therefore have been confined almost exclusively to our domestic con sumers, and at prices showing an advance of fully is per lb, to which my quotations are altered to conform. New cotton arrives very slowly, and ranges in quality about good middling, and what is very unusual at this early period of the season included in the receipts from Samna, there are parcels of ordinary to low middling. The sales for the week are estimated at 7,000 bales; the export during the same time has been—to Liverpool, 1.901 ; Glasgow, 50 ; Havre, 61 : Bremen, 95.

Rivers very low. bales ; 31,500 RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, &e : The receipts show a decrease as compared with last year to same dates of 64,000 bales. It is probable the receipts during October and November may compare favourably with the same months last year, as they were then by no means excessive, and the present currency in the South is a great temptation for planters to send their cotton to market, at any rate, in the district tri butary to New Orleans. In Mobile the low rivers will pre vent large receipts for a while. At Montgomery cotton arrives freely, At Macon and Augusta, Ga, the cotton comes in somewhat slowly, planters being, for the most part, indifferent in accepting present prices high as they are. The exports to Great Britain are small, and far this week only from New York, and are likely to continue light for some weeks. In Charleston and Savana nothing has yet been done for Great Britain. In Mobile one, and in New Orleans four vessels only on the berth for Liverpool, and these find difficulty in loading. CROP : A slight' frost passed over the cotton region on the nights of the 23rd and 24th Sept., which has, however, done no injury to the plant. The complaints otherwise continue, and the prospects are by no means favourable. The ten- Oency is to reduce the estimates, and a general feeling begins to prevail that 3,000,000 bales is a full estimate. I shall wait the advent of a killing frost before venturing an estimate of my own.

There was a very small attendance of the trade, a circumstance which is attributable to a great extent to the strong determination on the part of consumers, as evidenced at the Birmingham meeting, to abstain from doing any business which they are not absolutely compelled to do in the present unsettled state of the trade with reference to prices, for as matters now .—Rucerrers : Decrease at the ports compared stand it is impossible to anticipate what may occur even in with last year, 64,000 bales.

BREADSTDFFS : An active demand prevailed for State and Western Flour on Saturday and Monday, in part speculative, and, with moderate receipts, a material ad vance in prices was established. Yesterday, the weather being unpropitious, and merchants occupied with their steamer correspondence, the business was comparatively light, though there was a healthy home trade enquiry, and the buoyancy of the two preceding days was retained. For Wheat, a good demand continues to prevail, principally for export, and, with a moderate supply, particularly of White, the market is 3c to 5a better. At the close, holders were not disposed to press sales, and the market left off buoyant, though rather quiet; the sales include 9,600 bushels old and new White Southern at 1 dol 46c to 1 dol 70c; 14,000 inferior to prime old and new Red do., 1 dol 30c to 1 dol 56c Hors are in fair request, but wet !weather has inter fered with business.

No. 1, at our highest figures, and some lots No. 3, delivered on the Susquehanna, at 22 dols 50c on time, which is now the ruling rate there. In manufactured there is a steady busi ness, without change in rates, and the mills continue well off for orders. NAVAL STORES, of all descriptions, are unfavourably affected by the difficulty of obtaining freight room, and Turpentine and Rosin are rather nominal in consequence. Spirits Turnentine has not varied materially, being generally held at 42c cash, though for one parcel, said to be in poor order, 41c was accepted —stock on hand 7,000 brls.; there is considerable on the way hither, part of which will be shipped directly to Europe.

FREIGHTS are a shade firmer to Great Britian, but in other directions there is no change to notice : the supply of tonnage is light, and the market closes very firm, partly in view of the restrictions imposed on the Grain vessels by the Board of Underwriters referred to in our in troductory remarks.

GEORGE'S HALL TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,—My attention has been called to a letter in your paper of to-day, in reference to a statement made by me at St. George's Hall, on Saturday evening last. In reply thereto, I have to observe that at rehearsal in the morning, the lady was equal to her task, and that in the afternoon she was fulfilling an engagement in Bold-street. These facts induced the observations I made. When Miss Gaskell explains how it was that she became so suddenly unfit for the part allotted her, and passed within a few yards of my door without making me aware of her intended absence, the public will be able to draw their own conclusiou3. I have no wish, much less time, to continue a discussion, and, therefore, now write as little as possible on the subject, C. REYNOLDS, Manager of Saturday Evening Concerts, 16, Greek-street, 1 St. George's Hall. Liverpool, Oct. 13, 1856. f ATTEMPT TO MURDER TWO PERSONS IN TARLETON-STREET Yesterday, Themes Willett, the person appre hende I on a charge of etiempting to murder his wife, and with infl;cting a severe wound on the throat of a person named William Fisher, who went to assist in saving her life, was placed in the (lock before Mr. Mansfield. The prisoner is an elderly person, and was dressed in a shabby black suit, with a white necktie. Ile is a barber. He appeared to watch the case with groat interest, and evi dently felt the critical position in which he was placed • The first witness examined was Inspector Duggan, who said, on Saturday night, about a quarter past twelve o'clock, 1 was on duty in Great Howard street, when I heard that a man was attempting to murder two persons in a cellar in Tarleton street. I, with Police Constable No. 477, imme diately went to the cellar, where we found four persons who are now present, and will state what occurred. Two of them had had each of their throats cut and was bleeding. The other two young men had hold of the prisoner. The policeman and myself secured him, and had him conveyed to bridewell. The two persons who were wounded we had taken to the dispensary, where Mr. Evans dressed their. wounds. Police constable 477 stated : I went with the inspector to the cellar, where I apprehended the prisoner. I told him the charge against him was, ' That he had attempted to take the lives of two people." He replied, "I am sorry I did not get through with the job, anti have finished myself as well." al.. per in the cellar gave me this knife which had been ta tun frown the prisoner. The k if, w,as produced, ft we, a .7'lll pocket knife with a :n7lO beadle. ;4r. : Is the surgeon from the dispensary here ? Inspector Duggan : He is not ; I warned him to be here this morning, and he promised be would attend, but he is not here yet. Ellen Willett, the wife of the prisoner, wits then placed in tie witness-box. She said : I have been his wife for between fourteen and fifteen years, but I have bad to leave him four or five times on account of his ill-treatment. The last time I left him was about five years ago. I then came to this court for a summons against him, but he did not appear to it. After that he came back to me and said if I would forgive him be would do better, and not treat me ill again. He kept very well for about a twelvemonth, when he began to treat me worse than ever. 1 left him again. He sold everything, and then went away with the money. I then went to live in Back Portman street. He came there and ill-treated me. I got a summons for him again, but he never appeared to it ; and while I went to get 2s 61 for a warrant to bring him up, he ran out of the honse. After that I did not see anything of him for three years, and did not know whether he was dead or olive. Mr. Mansfield : Let me know what he did to you on Saturday night. The wife : I will, sir. But I should tell you that in August last I went to Man chester. :I had heard that he was living there, and I went to see if it was true, or to see whether he was dead, as I had been informed that he was. When I got there I found him living with another woman, They may be married. I told her that she might live with him for I could not. I only went to convince myself that he was olive, and I came back to Liverpool again. Mr. Mansfield : I want to know what he did to you on Saturday night? The wife , On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, he came into my place. His hat was covered over his eyes, so that I did not know him. I could not see his face. Think— ing it was a person that wanted something, I said as he came in at the door, "Sir." He came behind the counter, and said. "You say sir to me—sir, indeed," when he caught hold of me by the neck, and with a knife he had in his hand he cut my neck and throat, and if it had not been for the young man who happened to be there having some ginger -beer, who came to my assistance, I should not have been alive to be here to-day. This young man was cut in the neck also. I have not lived with him for years, nor have I ever asked him to contribute towards my maintenance, but have worked and got my own living. William Fisher said, I have know❑ the prisoner and his wife for the last ten years. I was in the woman's house on Saturday night, when the prisoner came rushing in with his hat over his eyes. He had a knife in his band. He attacked his wife, and I went between them, and stuck to him until assistance came. He cut me on the throat. Mr. Mansfield : Are you a married man ? Witness : No, sir. Mr. Mansfield : Where do you live : Witness: At 124, Limekiln lane. A lad spoke to hearing the female shriek, and was going to her assistance when he saw the prisoner and the last witness struggling together. Thomas %yes stated, that when he went into the cellar he saw the knife produced by the policeman in the hands of the prisoner.—The wife : I never saw him until Saturday night, since I left him in Manchester. Mr. Mans field : Has the surgeon arrived yet ? inspector Duggan: No, sir, but I saw the wounds dressed. '1 he wound on the man's neck is three and a half inches long, and about an inch deep. It is a clean cut wound. That on the woman's neck and throat is seven inches long, and very deep. Mr. Mansfield : I shall not want the surgeon now. It is a clear attempt at murder, and the prisoner must be committed to take his trial at the assizes. There are circumstances con nected with the case that renders it necessary that it should be enquired into by a jury. The prisoner was then com mitted for trial at the assizes. CHARGE OF MURDER. COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED Considerable excitement has been created in the town of Runcorn during the last ten days, in consequence of wide spread rumours that a child, named Mary Brannan, the reputed daughter of Thomas and Margaret Brannan, who keep a rag and bone shop, in Nelson street, had come to its death by unfair means. An annoymous letter has been received by Mr. Blake, the chief constable, with reference to the subject ; in consequence of which, that officer proceeded to make some cautious enquiries. The result led to a com munication with Mr. Nicholson, the coroner for this district of the county, who resides at Warrington ; but that gentleman, from some unexplained cause, was unable to attend at the enquiry, which has sub• sequently taken place. A clerk, however, arrived, without, as it has been stated to us, a sufficient authority to act as deputy coroner, and nothing definite was done until Tuesday last, when the inquest was formerly opened by Mr. W. H. Cobb, another clerk to the coroner, and, after two adjournments, the case was brought to a conclusion yesterday, about two o'clock. The evidence of various witnesses was taken in order to show that the deceased met her death through vitro' having been wilfully administered to her by some one, and upon this part of the case the following certificate was given : Royal Institution Laboratory, Liverpool, October 18th, 1856. I certify that I have made a careful chemical analysis of the stomach and intestines of the deceased infant, Mary 11.en nan, placed in my hands by Mr. H. Wibon, surgeon, of Runcorn, on the morning of Thursday, the ninth day of October, instant, and that the following is a true and faithful report of the same examination :—The assophagn and upper portion of the stomach is deeply furrowed by the action of a corrosive liquid, which has destroyed the mucous membrane, coroded the tissues, and dis solved, entirely, a portion of the stomach. A small portion at the lower end of the stomach has escaped contact, the mucous being preserved, upon applying certain tests there was a strong re-action digested with distilled water, and from which sulphuric acid was obtained.—J. BAKER EDWARDS, of Bir kenhead, Ph. D., F.O S., lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the Royal Infirmary School, &c., &c., Liverpool. It is, however, only just to the accused parties to mention, that their) was no decided proofs offered that either, or any of them, had purchased the deadly drug above mentioned. It is also worthy of remark, that the parties now in custody the magistrates refused to allow to be brought up a second time, a course which certainly created some surprise. It has, however, been positively stated to our reporter that the deputy-coroner cautiwled the prisoners before the usual time arrived, and before any evidence whatever had been given in the case. Yesterday it was proved that the deceased, who had been a fine and healihy child, had died suddenly, and was buried in haste ; afttlr which the remains were exhumed. At the close of the case, the public, and reporters included, were desired to withdraw. We understand that the learned deputy coroner made but a very brief summing up, after which the jury remained near an hour in deliberation, but their verdict . was received in private, the reporters only being casually informed of it. What renders the proceedings more unjusti fiable is—the deputy-coroner had promised to send for the reporters when the jury had agreed. The verdict was as follows murder against Thomas Brannan, Margaret Brannan, and Patrick Wain, who were then fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes at Chester, which, it is believed, will be held in December. DEFENCE OF THE COTTON SALES TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—l trust to your generosity to insert the following, knowing, as I do, that you are not the man to close your pages against an answer to an unjust slander, or as refutations of a sweeping charge : NEW ZEALAND The establishment of the new line of packets between Liver pool and New Zealand has naturally causer; n'ten tion to be directed towards this colony. interPst ha.e bean ..„ . rival of lito-I;i:;ence, confirmed f gold in soloe po. very valuable lodes of copper in other parts A large number of communications have reached us, requesting us to give the writers some information respecting the present position and prospects of New Zealand. We have already passed in review each of the settlements on the Australian continent, and proposed to ourselves to adopt a similar course respecting New Zealand; and this will, we believe, be the most convenient mode of replying to the nume. rous queries which have been put to us respecting this most valuable colony. It was in the year 1839 that the three islands, forming together:what is called New Zealand, were first declared to be subject to the crown of Great Britain ; but for some years prior to this, a number of British subjects had set tled upon the land, many of whom had acquired possession of large tracts of land from the natives for a merely nominal con sideration, hundreds of acres being obtained from the chiefs in exchange for a blanket, a hatchet, a gun, or some eeegaw of Brumagem ware. Shortly after the proclamation declaring the colony subject to the British Crown, many of those so called purchases were declared invalid, and no title to the land, is ❑ow held as valid unless derived from or confirmed by her Majesty. In 1837 the New Zealand Company was formed, with the avowed object of putting an end to the disputes which were constantly going on between quasi purchasers of land and the chiefs, who, soon becoming aware of the extent of the frauds which had been practised upon them, repudiated their contracts, and not unfrequently put an end to the bargain by the same hatchets and muskets which had been palmed off upon them in exchange for their land. The carrying out of the theories and views of the company was attended with considerable difficul ties, and after much opposition, both at home and in the colony, the company was dissolved in 1851, its liabilities being made a charge upon the revenue of the colony, in accordance with certain arrangements made between the parties. The New Zealand Company has, however, during the fourteen years of its existence, been instrumental in the establishment of colonies or settlements at Wellington, Nelson, New Ply mouth, and Otago. The remaining two settlements are Auckland and Canterbury. The whole of the colony, three islands, which lie between 48 deg. and 34 deg. south latitude, and 166 deg. and 179 deg. east longitude, are almost exactly the antipodes of this country. The northern island is called New Ulster, and upon it are situated the settlements of Auckland, Wellington, and New Plymouth—Auckland being on the north point of the island, New Plymouth on the west, and Wellington on the south. The middle island is called New Munster, arid upon it are situated the settlements of Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago; Nelson is on the north of the island, Canterbury on the east, and Otago near the south-east extremity. The two islands are separated from each other by Cook's Straits, and Wellington and Nelson possess most excellent harbours in these straits. The third is known as New Leinster, or Stewart's Island ; but it is rugged, inclement, possessed of no good harbour, and is rarely visited, except by the whalers and South Sea fishers. The middle island is the largest of the three ; it contains about 46,126,000 acres, the north island about 31,174,000 acres, and Stewart's, or the southern, is estimated at one millio❑ of acres, making a total area of 78,300,480 acres, exceeding that of Great Britain by about twenty millions of acres. Of the whole area, a moderate computation assigns two-thirds of the land as adapted to pastoral and agricultural pursuits. In the north island the first settlement which demands notice is that of Auckland. The town stands in an isthmus, jetting out into a very commodious estuary,—that of the Waite mata. The rivers Taranaki and Wairaa are navigable for barges and canoes from the town to some twelve or fifteen miles in the interior, while lying to the eastward of Auckland is a fertile plain sixty miles in length, watered by the Thames and Watoa, which run parallel to each other through the princi pal districts, and bear the produce of the country—timber, manganese, pigs, Indian corn, potatoes, flax, copper ore, and limestone—to the markets and port of Auckland. On these and other streams kiding to Auckland, • the natives brought down last year to Auckland about ono hundred and fifty tons of potatoes, and large quantities of other produce of their land. In 1851, the good• people of Auckland first witnessed the departure of vessels laden with the corn produce of the island, and was seriously alarmed at the prospects of famine which appeared to be before them. The direful prognostics of those who were opposed to the commencement of the trade have not, however, yet been realised, although the exports have increased from £53,000 in 1852, to £145,000 in 1853, and to nearly double that amount in the last year. On the let of January, 1855, Auckland possessed a mercantile marine of its own of very nearly 10,000 tons, i❑ addition to the large quantities of canoes employed in her inland navigation. Auckland is a colony but just fifteen years old, and during this period it has made as great progress as did Hobart Town during the first quarter of a century of its existence. The revenue of the settlement is about £lOO,OOO a year, of which sum £4,000 was received in 1854 from the sale of Crown lands, and the European population is nearly 12,000. The climate of Auckland is very good, the air soft and genial, and warmer than in the settlements further to the south. New Plymouth, or Taranaki, is not unfrequently called " the Garden ef New Zealand." The first body of English settlers, which landed here in 1840, left England through the exertions of the " Plymouth Company of New Zealand," hence its name —New Plymouth. The settlement is on the west coast of the island, about 120 miles south of Auckland. It has no harbour like that of the northern settlement, but the land is fertile to an extraordinary degree. Of this settlement Sir George Grey, the late Governor of New Zealand, wrote—" I have never in any part of the world seen such extensive tracts of fertile and unoccupied land as at Taranaki. The country around is undulating, broken, and interspersed with hills, which vary in size from half an acre to two or three acres, densely wooded, and generally containing a small but unfailing spring of fresh water. The English population of the district, in number about 2,000, is fast incrsasing, and there is probably no little community in the world where the prosperity and well-being of the people is of a more real and substantial character." The complaints frequently made respecting the hostile feelings which the natives entertain towards the settlers have been greatly exaggerated. The disturbances which con stantly take place are almost invariably confined to disputes among the natives themselves, and the settlers have experienced but little annoyance from the natives. The great want of the settlement, like most other of our colonies, is labour, and active agencies have been set on foot in New Plymouth to obtain an increased supply of immigrants. Wellington is a settlement of the same age as New Ply mouth, and it now contains a population of about 10,000. In a carefully compiled work by Mr. Filton, called " New Zealand : its Present Condition, Prospects, and Resources," the following passage occurs relative to the Wellington settle ment :—" Wellington possesses one great advantage over Auck land in being easily accessible from other portions of the colony. It holds, as a trading port, a very prominent if not actually the leading mercantile position. It also has annexed to it very considerable tracts of pasturage running up into the country northward and eastward of the harbour, and by means of these contributes largely to the exports of New Zealand Wool. This is a branch of produce in which Auckland, owing to its deficiency in pasturage suitable for large flocks of sheep or of cattle, has hitherto contributed very little to the European markets. The pastoral capabilities of Wellington have of late been very considerably increased by the purchase of the Ahuriri district, on the eastern coast of the North Island, and also of some other less extensive territories. This increased accommodation for their growing flocks will be of great benefit to the stockowners of Wellington, who had for some time past felt the want of add;tional pastures; during which time the native population have steadily refused to permit any purchase or occupation of their territories beyond the boundaries originally made over to the English Government." One of the 'great drawbacks to the settlement has been the occasional occurence of earthquakes. They do not appear, however, to be of a very severe character, and the settlers having probably become used to these visitations, regard them as but slight inconveniences. In each of these settlements of the Northern Island there is an abundant fieid for the employ. ment of labour and the investment of capital, while .he Middle Island, with its settlements of Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago, holds out equal inducements to the labourer and the small capitalist. We must reserve our notice of these settlements, however, for another occasion. —Australian New Zealand Gazette. of the prov MINOR MISERIES.—Amongst the multitude o f m i nor miseries there are few that so painfully annoy as the injuries inflicted on the feet by tight or ill-fitting boots and shoes, and not unfrequently by the neglect of the toe nails or of incipient corns and bunions.
