HOW TO SETTLE IN CANADA.

The difficulties of an emigrant on first landing are
not those which an uninformed imagination would be apt
to paint. Canada is so longer a new province with little
Maas of absorbing labour—she is far advise* area her
power of absorption far exude the quantity at labour

would at first obtaia better reassaaratioa as railroad
labourers. Thug is one thing which all emigrants of the
labouring class who have a desire to better their conditiou
—and that we take to be the main object of all voluntary
emigration--elsould be careful to do; they should shun
cities and towns as places of settlement. If they remaia
there, ten chances to one they will be mere labourers for
life ; but if they spo to the country, there is no reason in the
world why they should not become independent farmers,
owning 100 or WO agree of excellent land, and enjoying as
such real independence as can well fall to the lot of maa.
The agriculture 1 emigrant should always keep in view as
his great object the obtaining of land for settlement;
and whatever he does should always be made
subservient to that end. The emigrant who briefs

EXTRAORDINARY MeoowitaY.—A few days WO
a bricklayer, employed to repair the fire-place of a cottage
at Ditchling. a village about a mile and a half from the
flassocke-gate-station, on the Brighton Railway, discovered
the bddies, er rather the skeletons, of flee infants. The
house had beentenanted fee 14 or 16 years by a woman
who had recently been married to • person nausea Mait-
land, sad who is the mother of two illegitimate children
still Beier. The neighbours deposed to a number of very
suspicious circumstances, but the bodies being too decom-
posed to enable the professional witnesses to state with
certainty whether the children had been born alive, the
coroner's jury, on Saturday, returned as open verdict. The
isagistuttee examined the woman yesterday, and re-
manded her.
ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Yes-
terday • murderous outrage was committed by • law writer
named William Willis upon his wife, at their lodgings, No.
6, Lee's-buildings, Chancery-lane. It appears that the par-
ti who are somewhat advanced in life, Willis being 61,
and his wife about two years younger, had lived very cola-
1-4t.ibly together. Willis, however, came home at between
two and three yesterday morning, and without any esplain-
ahie cause seised • table knife, and going to the bedside of
his wife attempted to cat her throat. She struggled vio-
lently, and alter receiving several weer* wounds, she
managed to get out of the room. Willis then oat his throat
with a razor, and getting into bed covered himself up with
the clothes. The police were immediately called in, and
- the parties were removed to King's College Hospital. The
