MISS RYE AND THE LANCASHIRE EMIGRANTS

ro NEW ZEALAND.

A letter from Miss Rye, dated Banks' Peninsula,
Canterbury (New Zealand), Sept. 12, remade the seta arrival
of the ship British Crows, with the Lancashire emigrants.
She had a favourable purge out, sod her passengers were

will prove very valuable acquisitions to the colony, and I
only hope the neat ship from Liverpool may be as fortunate
in housing% her doctor, and her captain as the British
Crow..

superiority of the commimiesers' arrangements over those
of the merchant envies. "I do not Imitate," she mays, "to
